TemperanceBooth1: Thanks for the review as usual, babe :) I can totally see Selene being like that with her kids, too. Very protective and loving of her own flesh and blood, considering her past.

Watch Yourself

Chapter Fourteen

With a sharp gasp Erazebet awoke in darkness. Her lungs burned as she looked around, estimating how many hours had passed. When she could no longer endure the burning, she tightly grasped the chain that suspended her above the floor and lifted her naked body as high as she could with what little strength she had left, bringing much needed air into her lungs.

The door suddenly banged open and for a beat she thought Dominic had returned but it was only another of his lycans. He left the door wide open, letting light spill into the windowless room, and lowered Erazebet closer to the floor. His face was bathed mostly in shadow but she did see flat black eyes with an ominous gleam with a shiny crescent moon scar around the left eye.

He approached Erazebet with a cup raised in his hand. She could smell the warm rich scent of human blood from within and it made her fangs more prominent as she salivated.

"You want this, don't you?" the lycan asked, eyeing the long glistening fangs in the vampire's mouth. Erazebet kept silent and impassively stared back at him.

Eventually he raised the cup to her lips to drink. "Drink up now. Dominic wants you strong and ready for him when he comes back in here."

Erazebet drank long and deep, savoring the taste of the blood on her tongue. She enjoyed the way it ran smooth down her throat and brought a surge of power and strength back to her limbs. Eventually the cup ran dry and the lycan had returned her to her original position, leaving her in darkness again.

OOOOOO

Hours or maybe days had passed - Erazebet wasn't quite sure - until the door had opened again.

Dominic stood in the doorway with his head cocked to the side as he stared calculatingly at the little vampire. He was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt and his feet were bare. A beat passed before he shut the door behind him and turned the lights on.

"Now, I hope that you will tell me the truth this time, pet," he whispered softly, lowering her until she swayed a foot above the floor.

Erazebet stared defiantly at the lycan. There wasn't a chance in hell that she was going to give him the answers that he desired. Her loyalties lie with Tanis and those abominations. Even though Erazebet made it no secret that she hated Selene and that family of hers, her loyalty to them ran strong.

She gave a sharp laugh at his words. "What makes you think that I will tell you anything now when I haven't told you anything before?" She laughed again, "No matter how hard you try, lycan, you won't be able to break me."

Dominic smiled softly as he came closer. His hands came up to cup her lush breasts and softly squeezed them before rolling the nipples with his fingertips. The smile on his face broadened when she mewled and thrust her chest toward him involuntarily.

He brought his lips to her ear. "We'll see about that, pet."

The little vampire hissed at him and he stepped back.

Dominic smiled at her warmly, catching Erazebet off guard. She didn't like that smile. It was the complete opposite of all of the other smiles that he had given her. The others were cruel and calculating, promising something dark and ominous in the quirk of his lips.

She scowled at the lycan in response and glared venomously at him.

His smile only grew as he took in the angry set of her mouth. Dominic ran the back of his hand softly down the length of her face, the curve of her breast, before finally resting both hands on her hips. The tips of his fingers stroked her skin softly. The angry bruises his hands had left behind were long gone now, healed completely in the time that he had left her alone in the dark.

This was another reason why he liked his mistresses to be vampires. Give them a little blood when he was finished and they healed, leaving no evidence of the destruction he did on their body behind. They were durable and willing to take the pain he gave them and weren't afraid to hurt him back. This little vampire was one of his better paramours, though. She seemed to be very responsive to every little touch, reacting the opposite of what he expected of her.

Usually when he kissed one of his girls she would kiss him back.

Not try to rip his tongue out with her teeth.

But this little vampire was his favorite so far even though she wasn't cooperating with him properly.

Dominic ran his hands gently against her body, caressing her legs and thighs, the curves of her waist and hips, the swell of her supple breasts. He cupped and squeezed her tits and waited for a reaction from the little vampire. When he received nothing but another scowl and a glare, he brought his mouth down on her breast and began to suckle and lavish each of her nipples with equal fervor.

He watched as she bit her lip and smirked when a low moan passed her lips. With a pop of his lips, Dominic released her nipple from his mouth. "Tell me where he is, pet, and I'll make you feel good. I promise," he whispered, dropping to his knees.

Erazebet sunk her teeth into her lower lip and watched as he spread her legs apart. She closed her eyes and fought back a moan when he began to place wet, open mouthed kisses along the skin of her inner thighs, ignoring her moist, sensitive center.

"I'm not going to tell you where that daft twit is no matter what you do to me," she hissed.

Dominic met her eyes and saw the steely resolve in the little vampire's gray eyes.

He needed to find that fucker and she was the only one who knew where he was. Dominic had seen the little vampire walking with him one night in the city months ago. They had separated and Tanis had disappeared into the crowd. But she stayed out in the open and returned to the mansion that he had taken her from. It had taken him weeks to get to this point and he wanted answers.

If her words were to be believed he was going to have to persuade her to tell him with the only means he could think of. And that was with sex. Sex where he didn't try to torture her while he was pleasuring himself.

Dominic was going to have to be a considerate lover just this once.

He stood and released her from her bonds. Without warning he scooped the little vampire up into his arms and softly placed her on the middle of the bed. He took in her startled expression and gave her a reassuring smile before crawling up on the bed with her, nestling his body between her thighs.

"Do you remember what I told you before about escaping?" he asked her, his voice soft as he ran a finger down the side of her face.

Erazebet nodded her head rapidly. "Yes."

"Good," he whispered and then he took her face in his hands and kissed her. Dominic felt her body tense beneath him and just before she could try to tear something of his off he moved his lips to her throat and pinned her arms to her sides.

Slowly he began to kiss his way down her body until he got to the apex of her thighs. Releasing her wrists from his grip, he moved to spread her thighs apart more. He gazed at her with lidded eyes and then placed a kiss on the skin of her inner thigh.

"I'll make you feel good," he promised. And then he brought a hand to her wet pussy and began to rub tight circles on her sensitive flesh.
