36: Shadows In The Dark

Alucard roused as he felt a presence in his chambers, the familiarity of it, however, gave little incentive to get up. Just as he thought, seconds later, his Childe poked her head through the lid of the coffin – he had his eyes closed, but he could feel her there – and she crawled in next to him without a word. She pressed herself up to his side, stretching her deliciously long – and bare – legs along his until her toes rested against his shins and nestled her shoulder into his armpit to pillow her cheek on his chest. His lips twitched mildly and his arm curled to rest a possessive hand on her hip.

She mumbled something unintelligible into the fabric of his unbuttoned white shirt and threw her arm out to splay her hand along his bare chest. His muscles clenched reflexively and rippled beneath her fingers, he could feel her smile as she settled and drifted away to sleep.

Foolish girl.

His quirked lips transformed into a full on smirk, though it was not malicious. He peered down at her blonde head from betwixt his sooty lashes and his gloved hand tightened around her waist.

He dozed lightly as the sun rose, but woke every few hours as the voices of the dead inside his head clamored for his attention. He had no desire to heed their pathetic whining, they were dead, and belonged to him now. His Childe was still there.

Grinning mischievously he decided to have a little fun with her and test how much she would pass off as his 'tossing and turning'. He rolled first onto his side, dislodging her from her niche, which roused the girl as well. He heard her sleepy whine, and took the opportunity to crush her against the wall of his coffin, planting his face into the side of her neck. She grunted and squirmed, so he retaliated by licking the skin there and delighting in her little whine of protest.

He felt her thoughts stretch out to probe his, and kept his mind carefully blank with a vague sense of dreaming. She withdrew quickly and began to push lightly at his shoulders with her small hands, it made no difference. He suckled on the skin there, so tantalizingly exposed to his lips and teeth, and she moaned.

"Masterrr…" She hissed and tensed before shoving him hard enough to roll them both, he quickly rolled them again and pinned her beneath him. He had to fight the urge not to smirk and give himself away as he found himself situated between her legs – quite comfortably – with her breasts crushed quite pleasantly to his chest. He nipped her and she moaned again, hips bucking before she froze and cursed under her breath.

He was enjoying himself far too much to give the game up now.

His hands rose from her hips to caress the sides of her breasts before resting on her shoulders, where he proceeded to nip her again. "Master!" She yelped, though keeping her voice pitched low, as if afraid to wake him. How amusing. Didn't she want him to 'wake up'?

He felt her powers gathering close to her skin and growled, she stopped and lay still beneath him. He rewarded her obedience by nuzzling her neck and working his way up behind her ear. She mewled and trembled slightly, but not from fear, he noted.

Smugly, he lightly thrust his hips into hers and was pleased by her gasping inhalation. Her hands moved, first to his shoulders to push lightly before splaying out to map his back with curious fingers. Pleased, he repeated the roll of his hips, and ran his tongue along the shell of her ear.

"Master, are you asleep?" She asked hesitantly, fingers clenching in the silky fabric of his shirt. He did not respond.

'I've heard of sleep walking, but sleep molesting?' The girl thought ruefully, and it was only his years of experience that kept him from ruining his game and laughing at her naïveté.

He decided to push it just a little further.

He moaned her name and thrust his hips harder against her.

She froze.

"Master! God damnit, I'm not sleeping with you anymore if you're going to do this!" Seras shrieked and he cringed inwardly at the shrill tones, but masked it with a perverse chuckle. "No? We'll see about that. Now… where was I?"
