Dean found himself with his back pressed against the kitchen wall by the doorway as Carmen attacked him, hungry lips claiming his in a desperate needy kiss. He was more than surprised at first, but then quickly recovered and started kissing her back with just as much passion, her lust sparking his own in an instant. The desire unfurled inside of him in less than a second and all the irritation he had felt before evaporated. Carmen's scent and taste filled his senses and he wasn't able to think any longer, forgetting about Olivia and the trouble she had caused in his office. His mind was concentrated on the very hot and all too willing woman in his arms who was obviously demanding only one thing from him at the moment. Damn, he was one lucky bastard.
Dean had no idea what had gotten into her - still oblivious to the state his mate was in – but he complied gladly; Carmen wanted sex and he would give it to her. Carmen let out a whimper when Dean grabbed her ass and pulled her burning body closer to him, grinding into her. She felt his already hard erection press into her and it caused more wetness to build between her thighs; the fact that he had gotten so hard so fast was only fueling her lust even more. Dean tangled his hands in her hair and pulled the strands hard, shoving his tongue into her mouth and forcing her to deepen the kiss. Carmen fisted her hands in his shirt, knuckles turning white as their teeth clashed, tongues battled.
Yet it wasn't enough. She needed more, so much more than this brutal kiss. By now she was shivering uncontrollably from the unbearable desire. She needed Dean to rip her clothes off, fill her up right there on the spot and fuck her into the wall. At the moment all his touches and kisses were a painful tease and she was about to die. Carmen's hands moved roughly under Dean's shirt, fingernails scratching his skin and her mouth attacking his neck, her tongue leaving a wet trail before her teeth sunk in.
"Fuck!" Dean hissed when the mix of pleasure and pain shot through him; closing his eyes and leaning against the wall for support as his legs started to get weak. Carmen moaned and licked the blood up that trickled out of the bite mark, pressing even more into Dean to feel the hard bulge in his pants. She swiftly tore his shirt apart, not bothering with the buttons and licked and bit down his bare chest. Dean cursed when her mouth closed around one of his nipples and he felt her sharp teeth.
"Carmen..." He managed to get out, not really wanting her to stop, but her skin was pure fire. She was in some kind of fever. "Baby...wait, not so fast." He gave up the attempt of trying to get through to her when he saw that she was too far gone, absorbed in the feelings that had taken control over her. She kissed back up his neck to drink his blood, her nails digging into the flesh of his torso.
"Dammit, Carmen!" Dean exclaimed in frustration through gritted teeth."What the hell's gotten into you?" He found the strength to grab her hands and pull her against his chest tight, stopping her actions in an instant. She rested her forehead against his, panting heavily and leaned into him, surrendering as weakness overwhelmed her.
"Calm down, sweetheart." Dean said softly, trying to catch his own breath. He let go of her hands when she went limp and took her face in his hands, brushing his lips against hers. He ran a thumb softly over her cheek and her eyes closed. Her face was flushed and the rising temperature of her body was really beginning to worry Dean.
"God, why are you fighting me?" Carmen interrupted his disturbing thoughts and opened her eyes again. "Dean, if I don't..." She broke off when she saw the fear cleary written over his face.
"Carmen, what - " He stopped talking when he finally looked properly at her; looked her in the eyes and what he saw there took his breath away. All concerns vanished, lust exploded inside of him and filled his every sense with the sweet familiar pain as it dawned on him what state his mate really was in. He felt his erection twitch in his pants, a warmth tugged in his abdomen. Now he noticed the longing pleading look in her eyes and her shivering body against him. Dean chuckled and wrapped his arms around her, amused how she flinched at the sudden contact and bit her lip to suppress a moan.
"My poor girl." He whispered against her lips, pressing his mouth to hers before pulling away a little. "Shh, it's alright. I'm here now, I'm gonna take care of you."
His grin was devilish, eyes dark with desire. Carmen could tell how much he was enjoying this.
"Glad, my misery is so funny to you, Winchester. I'm dying here!" She whined.
"I know what you need, sweetheart. You need me to throw you over my shoulder and drag you to the bedroom, right?" He smiled when Carmen almost purred and buried her face in his neck.
"This is pure hell. You've been gone for so long."
"I'm yours for the entire night, babe. I don't have anywhere else to be." Dean breathed in her ear, caressing her back soothingly. "And I'll do anything you want me to, I won't leave the bed and fuck you until you're sated and satisfied, until you're sore and beg me to stop."
Carmen groaned and inhaled sharply as her abdomen tightened at his words.
"Dean...I-I want you so much, need you so much..." She let go of him reluctantly and stepped back, running her hands through her hair and trying to stay in control. She couldn't catch her breath, the excitement rushing through her made it impossible. She heard herself taking in a desperate breath. Was it really her panting so heavily, making that pathetic sound? God, she was already a quivering mess and Dean had barely touched her.
Dean watched her in amusement, loving how confused she was and feeling the pure feral desire coming off her in waves. She already smelled like sex.
"I know, baby. Come here, let your man ease the painful tension." He moved closer and reached out his hand to grab her and pull her to him, but stopped when he noticed her frowning.
Once Dean's hands weren't on her anymore, she could think more clearly and remembered that she had to go back to work.
"Shit, I can't!" Her eyes widened as it hit her before she squeezed them shut with a groan."I have to leave now." Her voice was a choked whine, as if she was close to tears. She knew it wasn't smart to leave the house now; with the way she was feeling it would be better if she stayed in. And let Dean take care of everything, like he had just told her he would.
"What? Why?" Dean blinked a few times, surprised by her announcement. He couldn't believe she was considering to leave, to go outside like this. He couldn't allow that. Not when she was so vulnerable. What was so important that she had to go anyway?
"I thought you had the day off?"
"Yeah, but I just got a call from a colleague and she asked me to come by. She needs my help with something." Carmen replied and walked over to the counter, closing her laptop and putting it into her bag.
"Carmen, you shouldn't be going anywhere right now. Not when you're feeling like this." Dean said softly, watching her gathering the papers that were scattered all over the counter. Her hands were shaking and he could feel the tension that was surrounding her even from the spot where he was standing.
"I know, but...I had no idea this would happen, that my body would betray me like that." She said nervously; her voice was barely audible and she had trouble getting the words out as she tried to ignore the heat inside her. "This morning...I should've known that I was in heat and made you stay, but I guess I was too confused to realize that. And I knew how important today was to you and couldn't allow myself to be so selfish just because I happen to be insanely horny."
Dean listened to her hastily spoken words and gritted his teeth as he realized that subconsciously, he had seen it coming. Hell, he had even known that he was going to regret leaving her. That weird notion he had felt earlier at work turned out to be real. It hadn't been just his imagination, like he had thought at first. Carmen was indeed not alright. But he had dismissed the thought and refused to listen to himself.
Dean had kept his distance and avoided her for so many years, so that now he still had trouble seeing what his mate really needed. He could tell Carmen had the same problem; she was having a hard time trusting her own feelings. Dean ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath, telling himself to be patient and give it time. He was certain he would be able to anticipate his mate's every wish again very soon; they were slowly getting there, getting back to being completely connected to each other. He just needed to learn to trust in his own instincts again.
He stepped behind her and placed his hands on her hips, making her jump in surprise and let out a gasp."Everything's going to be fine, babe. I'd noticed something was different about you this morning, but couldn't put my finger on it. I promise, next time I'll be able to tell and won't leave, no matter what occasion. You're more important than anything else."
Feeling Dean's strong hands on her, his hot breath on the side of her face and hearing that low seductive voice, Carmen closed her eyes and relaxed a little. She could practically hear the thoughts racing in Dean's mind and felt bad that he was blaming himself for this.
"I felt it too, you know. The other night when you walked in the bedroom after Sam had left." She whispered and Dean's hold on her tightened at her unexpected words. "I was half-asleep and you think I don't remember that moment, the intensity of it, but I do. Our relationship may not be perfect, but once we've worked everything out, it'll be better than ever, right?" She turned her head and placed a kiss onto his jaw.
"After spending so much time away from you it's not easy for me to give you what you need." Dean sighed, nuzzling her neck.
"Are you sure, honey? Because when I think of the past few nights, you knew exactly what to do to make me happy." Carmen assured, not wanting Dean to feel guilty about the situation.
"I wasn't talking about sex. I meant the other stuff, the emotional stuff...I've never been good at that." He sounded so serious and all Carmen wanted was to hear his playful tone again.
"I know. This is my fault, though. Last time this happened to me was years ago, so it took me by surprise. I thought it was no big deal, that I was just a little excited...especially after everything you've done to me tonight and had no idea it was happening again." She looked at him to see his reaction and smiled when she saw him grinning.
"Now that was one hell of a night, wasn't it?"
"Yeah." She breathed out, feeling that delicious warmth again when Dean's hands moved from her hips to wrap around her waist and press her closer to him.
"We've wasted too much time talking, don't you think? This is what you really need right now." Dean breathed in her ear and rocked his hips against her ass to emphasize his words, making her whimper when she felt the hard erection in his pants.
"You want me, sweetheart. All you can think about right now is my cock inside you, am I right? Come on, tell me. No use in denying it."
He was right. Carmen couldn't focus on anything else besides the burning need of her body. She slammed her hands on the counter, bracing herself when Dean suddenly licked up her neck and his fangs scraped lightly over her pulse point, feeling the rapid beating intensify. His soft wet tongue and the pressure of his sharp fangs on her hot skin turned her weak in no time and she was sure her legs would've given out if Dean hadn't been there to hold her up.
"Dean, we have to wait. You know I have to leave now..." She managed to say and turned around in his arms to face him.
"Cancel." Dean simply stated and crashed his lips to her mouth, cutting her off. "I need to help you with your problem first."
"Dean, I promised to come." Carmen protested and finally Dean let go of her. "You serious? You really wanna go? Now?" He was pissed, unable to understand what was happening again.
"Well, if you'd gotten home earlier we could've had a quick round right here in the kitchen. But now I'm forced to go to work like that." Carmen replied, slightly irritated.
Dean shook his head in disbelief. "You know I can't do that, I can't let you go outside when you're in heat. You've no control over yourself and when I think of all the vamps you could run into..." Dean closed his eyes in horror, the thought making him sick. No male vamp would ever take that kind of risk with his mate.
"What kind of a man do you think I am? It's too dangerous. Sorry, I can't allow that."
Carmen huffed and crossed her arms in front of her chest." Of course you would react like that. Don't worry, I can't take care of myself."
"Really?" Dean asked, raising an eyebrow. A smirk appeared on his face and he chuckled softly as he stepped closer to her. "You've practically fainted the minute I touched you. You're not going out tonight. Period."
"It's only a couple of hours..." Carmen tried to convince him, but shut up when his eyes darkened and his jaw clenched; tell-tale signs that he was on the verge of losing it.
"I said no. Don't you get it? In your current state you won't be able to keep your desire locked up. I can't believe you're even arguing with me on that!" He yelled the last words, fueling the urge in her to yell back at him.
"So you're saying I'm going to jump the first guy that I see?!"
"Yes!"
"A little trust would be nice, Winchester! I'd never do that to you!"
"This has nothing to do with trust!" Dean grabbed her arm roughly and slammed her into the wall where he had been pressed with his back to not that long ago.
"Whether you want it or not, this is what will happen once you step outside. The lust is already driving you insane, right? So, when you run into someone you won't be able to fight it and believe me, any vampire would gladly take advantage of your weakness." Dean saw the anger in Carmen's eyes slowly turn to fear, but he kept talking. "Even though you know you're going to regret it, you won't be able to resist. Your vamp side won't let you. And I wouldn't blame you for this kind of slip-up."
"Stop trying to scare me, I won't let you intimidate me." Carmen said, swallowing hard."I swear, this is not going to happen to me."
"Oh yeah? How do you know?" Dean barked, leaning closer to her. "Stop being so stubborn, I just wanna protect you, for fuck's sake!"
"Because I've already been through all this!" Carmen exploded, pushing off the wall and forcing Dean to take a step back. "This is not the first time I'm in heat, Dean. I'd been forced to learn to control my lust since you didn't give a fuck about me in the past!"
Dean stood in front of her, breathing heavily and fighting the pain that her words had caused him. One single tear escaped Carmen's eyes as she thought desperately of something to say to make up for her previous words. She never intended to hurt him, but the way he had kept pressuring her was too much and those words had left her mouth before she could stop herself.
Dean didn't say anything and kept looking at her silently; the pain in his eyes vanished a moment later and was replaced by an expression she had seen many many times before.
"Dean...I..." She stopped talking when he closed the distance between them, placing his hands on the wall on either side of her body and cornering her in.
Carmen's pulse was pounding painfully, fear consuming her when she saw the look in Dean's eyes. He was at the end of his tether and was going to...She didn't know what to do, he had never hurt her before. And the worst part of this was that her body reacted immediately, approving all this. The lust that spread through her almost brought her to her knees. A surprised yelp escaped her lips when she felt the weight of Dean's body a second later and his mouth clashing to her lips. The pleasure that she received instead of the expected pain crashed over her with the force of a tidal wave. Carmen moaned, snaking her arms around his neck and finally gave in, not able to deny her body what it craved.
