Bella woke up the next day floating on a cloud of peace. She was consumed with warm feelings. She felt safe, protected, happy, but most of all, cherished. It was complete and utter bliss. She sighed and groaned comfortably at the wonderful feeling. As she slowly gained awareness she released she was cuddled into someone. Someone who smelled like heaven and sin. She noticed her whole body was clinging to this form, she was half ontop of him. Bella lifted her head and looked at the face of man she had used as a mattress last night. It was Godric.
Her face began to heat up but instead of feeling confused of panicked she felt oddly satisfied. She felt comforted by his presence and grateful he was there with her. It felt right. She had impulsively asked him to stay until she fell asleep and she must have cuddled up to him. What can she say? She is a cuddler.
Godric was completely still, no breathing to move his chest, no heart beat, he was entirely lifeless. Surprisingly this did not bother Bella as she propped herself up on her hand to look at his breathtakingly gorgeous face. She sighed, wondering how anybody could be that dreamy? She trailed a finger along his soft cheek enjoying silky texture. She then brushed her fingers gently through his hair and she heard a soft purr coming from him. Smiling, Bella relished in the sound. It made her feel so... complete. She lay her head down on his chest figuring she would just enjoy the moment.
A while later, the shrill sound of her cell phone ringing interrupted her peace. Bella groaned and tucked her head more firmly into Godric. Unfortunately it kept ringing, whoever was calling was extremely persistent. She scowled and slowly rose from Godric's perfect form. She reluctantly untangled herself from him carefully, hoping he wouldn't awaken. It was daytime but she was unsure if he could still be awake.
She saw the number. Jake. Ugh, she loved him but had better things to be doing right now; like cuddling into the most perfect man in the whole world.
That day Bella explored Shreveport as something to do. She also spend the majority of the day on the phone with Jake and Charlie. She missed them. Maybe she should visit them soon.
Bella sighed and collapsed onto the sofa in her gran's house. She had popped over for a visit, with nothing better to do. Sookie was not around; thank god. She had only remembered Eric told her not to leave his home after she'd left. It hadn't bothered her, it was no big deal.
It was getting dark now and she decided to change into something nicer to wear to Fangtasia. She made her way into her room, then looked through all the clothes Eric had bought her. Bella picked a cream colored skater dress. Wearing dresses had really started to rub off on her being in the south. She preferred jeans and gigantic warm sweaters in Washington but here in the stifling Louisiana heat, a cool floaty dress was much more comfortable. She tied her hair up in a high pony tail leaving a few wavy strands to frame her face. She tied a red bow to her pony adding a splash of color. She had onyx earnings that were shaped as small arrows. She matched this with a thin gold chain, lots of blank bangles and large military styled boots. She smiled wryly as she checked herself in the mirror, she was no longer a jeans and t-shirt kind of her but she was never going to dress as a typical girl. Topping this off with a faded leather jacket she was pleased with her appearance.
Just then she heard a knock on the door, startled, Bella looked outside only to realize it was very dark. She must have spent much longer than she thought on her appearance. I'm trying too hard to look good for Godric, Guh! She thought, irritated with herself. She left her bedroom and approached the front door, hoping it wasn't Bill for Sookie.
Opening the door, Bella was shocked but happy to see Godric standing there expectantly. She smiled at him hugely,
"Oh hey Godric, what are you doing here? I was planning on meeting you at Fangtasia. You didn't need to come all the way out here" She said kindly. Godric was his usual polite self but seemed almost relieved when he saw her.
"I am here to bring you Fangtasia, little one. May I?" He held his arm out in a very gentleman-like gesture, offering to lead her to his car. Bella blushed at his manners and tried not to giggle. He was so sweet.
"Sure thing" She grinned and linked her arm through his obediently. He led her to his car, opening the passenger side for her. She slid in happily, humming in contentment.
The drive began in comfortable silence, each basking quietly in the others presence.
"You went out today" Godric stated in a displeased tone. Bella frowned.
"Uh yeah. I did. I had nothing to do at Eric's home and wanted to get out for a bit" Bella said nervously. She did not like displeasing Godric and wondered why it bothered him.
"This is a very unwise thing to do, ma petite. You were told not to go out. As we have not found out the meaning behind your vision, you are in danger. Eric was furious when he rose to find you gone. He is very unhappy you knowingly risked your safety" Godric said sternly. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter and he clenched and unclenched his jaw.
Bella shifted awkwardly in her seat. He did ask her not to go out. She didn't think it was much of a big deal. There was nothing to do in Eric's house. She looked out her window, "I... I didn't think. I didn't even realise. I am sure I would have been fine but" She muttered ashamed.
Godric sighed, "I am simply warning you, little one. Eric is waiting for your arrival at Fangtasia, I believe he intends to punish you" He said matter of factly.
"What! He can't punish me" She shrieked indignantly. She was sending quick prayers that Eric wasn't a corporal punishment type of vampire.
Godrics lips twitched in amusement, "Yes, he can. He views you as family and has taken you into his home, his protection. You are under his care currently and have to abide by his rules. What is the human saying 'his roof, his rules'?"
Bella nodded warily, eyeing Godric's amused expression.
"Then he is well within his rights to punish you for being so careless as to your own safety" He finished.
Bella groaned. She knew there must be a catch for letting her stay with him and taking care of her, there always is.
"Great. Just great" She complained scowling out her window, watching as tree's flashed by in the darkness.
Godric grinned in response but wisely kept quiet.
Driving into the employees car park, Bella turned to Godric with a worried expression on her face,
"Eric's not... that mad is he? He won't, you know, hurt me? I know vampires are old fashioned but he isn't going to spank me or anything?" Godric watched as she looked towards him with fear, worry and hope. He hated that look on her, she should only ever be smiling.
"No, min kära. Eric will not hurt you in any way. He is not one for giving out physical punishment to those he cares. You will be fine" He reassured. He saw her let out a relieved sigh and exit the car. He wasn't entirely certain Eric wasn't going to physically punish Bella but he would not allow it regardless.
They entered through the back door of the club and paused outside Eric's office. Bella's heart was pounding anxiously in her chest. Godric tapped on the door lightly.
"Enter" The voice coming through the door was cold. It made Bella shiver. She grabbed Godric's hand for reassurance, looking to him for comfort. Godric squeezed her hand gently and offered her a small smile, it helped Bella tremendously.
She entered the office, still gripping onto Godric's hand. She walked in and saw Eric leaning back in his chair, watching her impassively. He had never seemed so indifferent to her before and it was throwing her into a loop.
She stood silently letting him assess her with an impassive gaze, she couldn't stand the silence any longer.
"Hi" She blurted out. Eric arched his eyebrow and waved a hand in front of him.
"Please. Take a seat" He continued to speak in that emotionless voice that put Bella on edge.
She sat down on the chair facing his desk, bringing Godric along with her. She seemed to get strength from holding his hand and couldn't bare to let it go. Eric eyed their joined hands with interest but said nothing. Thankfully, there was a chair next to hers which Godric sat down on gracefully, keeping their hands joined.
Bella couldn't cope with the atmosphere any longer. The horrible feeling she had in her chest was surely worse than whatever Eric's punishment was.
"I'm sorry" She blurted out loudly, "I didn't even think that I could be in danger. I had forgotten all about that vision" She hung her head in shame, waiting for the scolding of a lifetime.
The room was eerily silent.
"Say something. Please Eric, I'm sorry" She said brokenly. She hated this, he never acted like this, ever. She looked up at him pleadingly but was met with his emotionless mask.
"For your punishment you are to read and study a set of books on supernatural customs, rules, etiquette and history. I saw that you had not touched the book on faeries I left you. You will be tested on this. In addition, Pam will be selecting all of your clothing for the next two months, no arguments. She will give you a spread sheet of the clothes you are to wear everyday. Finally, you are forbidden from contacting your were friend until further notice" Erics voice rang with authority.
Bella's mouth dropped open and tears pooled in her eyes. She wanted to protest, to shout, to do anything to stop him dictating her life. She did not want to be controlled, not like with Edward. But this was different. He was looking out for her, like family. She dropped her head. Be careful what you wish for, eh?
"Yes, Eric" she agreed obediently. Eric nodded his head in approval of her acceptance.
"Additionally you are to have both daytime and night-time guards." He ended with levelling Bella with a very firm stare.
She felt guilt, shame and dread pool in her stomach. He regretted helping her, letting her live with him.
"Okay, Eric. I understand, I'll... do my best to not cause you anymore problems, I promise. Thank you for everything your doing for me... you don't have to. Being your friend is enough. I... I understand if you've changed your mind. I wouldn't blame you, we can just forget this whole thing if you want, I can move back in with my gran" She finished whispering afraid of his reply, bracing herself internally.
She heard Eric sigh and rise from his seat. She looked up at him.
"No, Bella. You are my responsibility, I have placed you in my care. I will not abandon you, I will never abandon you. You will meet your primary bodyguard Alcide tomorrow at nine, he will arrive at my home. Godric is your night-time guard and both will accompany anywhere you want to go and are to know your location at all times"
She nodded her head in agreement, inwardly giddy that she would be seeing Godric so much. How lucky was she!
Eric looked suddenly very weary, a look which did not suit his usually arrogant, handsome face. He approached Bella and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Do not be so reckless with you safety, sister. I do not want to lose you now I have found you" He murmured into her forehead. Bella felt her heart warm. He thought of her like a sister. Dam, he was being so kind it made her feel terrible! he then promptly left his office, shutting the door behind him quietly.
She looked at Godric and sighed, "Well, that went better than I thought it would" She admitted to the vampire.
"you are fortunate to not have been here earlier, min kära. Eric has a bad temper and takes the safety of those he cares for very seriously. You are lucky to get off so lightly. Fifty years ago when Pamela disregarded her safety, returning home too close to sunrise. Eric made her rest in the ground for a year"
Bella giggled, imaging Pam having to dig a hole every night.
"So, you are to be my night-time guard? Are you sure you don't mind spending your nights following me around?" She bit her lip nervously. Although Bella was internally screaming in delight at being able to spend so much time with Godric, she didn't want to be a nuisance to him.
He gave her a lopsided smile. Bella's panties melted, "Of course not, little one. I volunteered to be your personal guard" he then winked at her, flashing her a devilish look. Dear god, GODRIC JUST WINKED AT ME. If Bella thought her panties had melted before now they had spontaneously combusted. How could one man be so god-dammed sexy?
Godric rose and held a hand out to her, her eyes smouldered into hers, "Would you like to accompany me to the bar, I can get you a drink?" He spoke huskily. Bella nodded, dazed. She would do anything if he spoke to her like that.
He helped her rise from her seat and kept a hold onto her hand. She trailed behind him, him leading her forward. Bella's eyes roamed the back of Godric. Why did he have to be so delicious? She would love to nibble at his neck and wrap her arms around him. Mmm, she would run her hands through his hair. She sighed dreamily, staring at his ass as he walked through the bar. She didn't notice the many people, too busy staring at his behind.
Godric tried hard to keep a smirk off his face as he lead his angel through the bar. He could feel her eyes on him admiring him, he was pleased. He wanted his body to appeal to her. She currently wanted to explore a sexual relationship but not a romantic one, he would have to use this. This was understandable, she was very young after all. He would wait until she was ready for the romance but until then he could be her lover. His face darkened. And what a lover he would be. She would never be unfulfilled, he would spend whole nights pleasuring her, satisfying her, finding out everything that she enjoyed and exploring her body thoroughly. He would please her so much she would never want to leave his side, no other man would compare. Not that they would ever get so close, He thought darkly.
Just as Godric reached a booth and led Bella inside, he felt his son send him a ton of amusement and a slight reproach which said 'calm down there, big fella'. Godric sighed, he knew he needed to keep his emotions in check tonight to not scare Bella off. Tempt her, seduce her, not scare her off. He could do this.
As Bella slipped into the booth next to Godric she observed his face. He looked deep in concentration. She wondered what he was thinking so hard about. She left him to his thoughts and began eyeing him. God, he was stunning. His short brown hair looked so soft... those intense blue, green eyes... those soft looking lips... and fuck, that body. She wondered if it was as hard as it looked, she remembered lying on him, the hard panes of his body, his soft cool skin. He's the sexiest man alive. Well technically he's not alive. He's the sexiest man, alive or dead. Oops, she's been staring at him for a while. She checked his face again warily, hoping he didn't notice her ogling him and saw Godric casually scanning the crowd. Phew, he didn't notice.
Eric sat on his throne trying very hard to keep his face impassive. On the outside, he looked his usual bored, irritated self. On the inside he was exploding with mirth. His maker and Bella were so entertaining. It was hilarious to watch his maker act so... emotional. His maker was always so confident, assured, strong and brave. But now his maker was unsure, nervous and awkward. It was amusing seeing the two thousand year old warrior act like a hormonal teenager.
Eric pretended to scan the crowd of his bar but in reality was watching Bella and Godric. They had just sat down at his booth and Bella was eye-fucking his master. She was being extremely obvious about it. Her eyes sparkled in lust and longing. He held back a snort of laughter. Turning his eyes to his maker he tried very hard to hold back a shit-eating grin that threatened to erupt, he could not stop the slight twitching of his lips and amusement in his eyes.
There, Godric sat, seemingly scanning the crowd casually to the occasional onlooker but Eric knew better. Godric held himself high and proud, showing off his body, with a pleased gleam in his eye. He was preening under Bella's stare. He looked like a proud peacock, he was delighted at her attention. Eric had to hold in his laughter yet again. The most amusing thing, however, was the huge erection straining against his pants. He was indeed delighted with her attention. He looked so happy and proud, he was practically beaming. Eric shook his head at the antics of his maker and sister. Eric sat back on his throne, feeling satisfied and took a sip of blood. It would be an entertaining night that's for sure.
Bella was busy looking at Godric then she remembered her visit with Niall yesterday. She better tell him, she promised she would let him know if she was visited by him.
"Oh Godric, I forgot to say but yesterday I had a visit from my great-grandfather" Bella said lightly. A waitress appeared with their drinks, a coke for her, a blood for him. She was surprisingly polite and attentive, much better than the girl from last night.
Godric's head whipped round and looked at Bella intensely. All his attention was focused on her.
"I see. What did he say?" Godric questioned. He looked very serious, Bella thought that she saw Eric turn his head in her direction slightly, as if he was listening in. He couldn't hear her from there, could he? Was vampire hearing that good?
"Not much, he said that he wanted to know how I was progressing in my maturation process and told me a little about it, not much though. I think he will help with the Bill-Sookie situation thankfully, he said that he can remove the effects of vampire blood but he shouldn't now as it would be suspicious" She saw Godric nod his head, "He also mentioned that he would be sending me a teacher to help me with my dreams and other powers which will be developing soon" She smiled slightly. She was looking forward to that, she wondered what other cool things she could do! She couldn't wait to teleport, think how much time she would save.
Godric looked thoughtful, "This is good news indeed about your cousin. He is wise to leave her as she is at the moment, we must figure Compton out before we make a move. At least we have a powerful ally in that respect. However, I am worried about his lack of interference when it comes to your association with vampires. It is curious he has not tried to stop you seeing us as you have not had any vampire blood yet" Godric seemed to be lost in his thoughts pondering. Yet? What did he mean yet? Bella thought bewildered, did he want her to drink his blood? Why did that sound kind of nice? Why was she thinking about drinking Godric's blood?! Wait... he probably means from my vision. Yeah, that's it Bella thought with a stab of disappointment. Dear god, she was going mad, wanting to drink someone blood? Why on earth would she want to drink Godric's blood?
Bella cleared her mind and focused on the conversation, "Huh, that is true. Actually the first time I met him he did mention Eric" Bella spoke up. Godric nodded for her to continue, he looked even more interested if that were possible and she definitely saw Eric turn his head in her direction. He's spying on us, yep, that's just great.
"Well, he said I should 'continue my association' with him for the moment as it will keep me safe. He wasn't thrilled by it but figured it was for the best, which is odd, he didn't seem very fond of the idea of me being around vampires. Also to never ever ever drink vampire blood, he was pretty strong on that. Now I know why. Huh, now that I think about it, how did he even know that I had been spending time with Eric anyway?" Bella frowned. He had said he was 'watching over her' but it seemed a little extreme to know who she was hanging out with. Maybe it was a safety thing? Ugh, she didn't know.
"I see. He has not claimed you as his kin yet, he must have a reason for this. Let us hope it is not a sinister reason. Therefore, he is placing your safety temporarily with Eric, this is good..." Godric seemed to pause, Bella took a sip of coke, watching him.
"and yet... He did not mention me, did he?" Godric asked curiously with an arch to his eyebrow. Bella thought back, he didn't oddly enough. He seemed interested in Eric but not Godric but maybe it was because she didn't really know Godric back then?
"No he didn't. Maybe he just didn't care?" Bella suggested. Godric gave her a soft indulgent smile, one that made her feel pretty naive.
"That is unlikely, ma petite, he would be more disturbed by your association with me than Eric" Godric said, Bella wondered why. Eric seemed more dangerous than Godric. He continued, "It is likely that he is unaware our relationship, this is a good thing. Keep our association quiet for the moment Bella, until we figure out his motives" Godric finished.
Bella sighed, why was this so complicated? They seemed awfully suspicions of each other. He was her great-grandfather for Christ sake. But as usual, she went along with it because Godric asked her in that stupid sexy accent, looking at her with his stupid sexy eyes and stupid sexy lips... She sighed again. It was going to be a long night.
"Sure thing Godric, whatever you say" She muttered and then looked around the bar. It was its usual dark self filled with scantily dressed humans and a few actual vampires. Nothing interesting to look at.
Although Bella was not looking at Godric she was very aware of his presence and his eyes on her. She felt as he inched towards her in the booth, she tried hard to stay relaxed and not look at him. She felt his hand touch hers on the table.
"I am sorry if I have upset you, I am only looking out for you safety" He said quietly. He began stroking her knuckles with his thumb slowly, it felt great, it was so soft but she felt it in every fiber of her being.
She turned to him and saw him quite near her, she could look deep into his eyes from here. She gave him a small smile.
"I know, its just frustrating that none of you trust each other. But never mind that, lets just forget it" She announced then looked for a topic change. She saw his full true blood bottle,
"Your not going to drink that?" She asked, nodding at his blood. Godric shook his head slightly,
"No, you do not like the scent of true blood" He explained. Bella felt bad, she didn't want him to starve himself for her sake. "Oh, well you can have it if you want, I think ill manage, a lot of vampires here are drinking it" She said casually and sent him a reassuring smile.
"It is fine, little one. I do not require much blood at my age" He said. Bella nodded, she wondered if that meant he was going to feed on one of the people here? She felt a shudder go through her. It bothered her to think of him feeding on someone else, she squirmed uncomfortably in her seat. What if she was keeping him from his dinner? She couldn't exactly stop him from feeding, he needed to.
"Godric..." She said hesitantly, she noted that his eyes had been glued to her face the whole time. It made her feel self-conscious, with his vampire eyesight he could probably see every blemish and imperfection on her face.
"Yes?" He said lightly.
"Um, are you wanting to um... feed on any of the people here?" She got out awkwardly, "You don't have to um not eat just because I'm here, I don't want you to get hungry" Bella fidgeted and looked down on her lap. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Why was she even saying this? God, she is an idiot. She didn't want Godric's fangs inside anyone but her. Maybe she should offer herself? Ugh no, why would he want to feed on me.
It was silent for a moment, Godric squeezed her hand slightly and continued the motion of stroking her hand. She wished he'd stop that, it felt great, too great, she felt sparks of sensations down to her crotch. God, there's something seriously not right if she's enjoying him touching her hand that much.
She heard Godric hum lightly, she looked up to his face and saw a thoughtful expression cross his features,
"No, I am not going to feed on any of these humans Bella. I have not, nor will I ever feed on humans like this" He explained. Bella felt a huge wave of relief, her shoulders sagged and she let out a gust of air. Well, wait to be obvious Bella! She scolded herself internally. But then it occurred to her...
"So what type of humans do you feed on?" She questioned, deciding she would hate whoever he said. She thought she saw a faint smirk cross his features but dismissed it, she probably saw it wrong.
"Well, vampires tend to feed on the gender they are most attracted to and those they find the most sexually appealing" Godric said casually and looked out onto the bar.
Bella held her breath, not once had she ever thought Godric could be gay. What if he was? Bella wanted to ask a question but couldn't get one out that wouldn't sound like she was overly interested, she hoped he would continue. He did.
"As for me..." He began. Bella's heart pounded in her chest. Stop that! He can hear it! She shouted internally.
"I am partial to females" phew, so far so good "my favourite blood type of AB+" MY BLOOD TYPE "I feed on humans with a lot more respect than these do" He waved a hand. Bella nodded wanting him to continue. She really shouldn't get her hopes up like this.
"I suppose vampires do have a 'type' of human that they prefer to feed off of. As you can guess, Eric enjoys the busty blonde type" He sent Bella a smile. Bella was just about to scream at him, what about your type?
"I, myself, prefer brunettes. Unlike Eric, I prefer feeding on someone I am fond of. Brown eyes, delicate features, soft curves..." He said. Bella's heart pounded in her chest and her eyes widened, was he saying that she was his type?
"In summary, I typically prefer young beautiful women" He finished and looked at her with a smile and eyes glowing warmly.
Bella tried to keep her face blank but felt a huge stab of disappointment. Beautiful women? Well at least she was young, maybe if he was starving he could slum it with her.
Bella noticed Godric looking at her expectantly, as if waiting for her to say something. She noticed his eyes held some sort of challenge? How strange.
"Young and beautiful women eh? Very typical vampire type" She added half-heartedly, not knowing what else to say.
Godric's eyes scanned her face furiously, looking for something, what, she had no idea. She looked down, she thought he looked vaguely disappointed but ignored it.
"Yes, it is" He agreed amiably.
"What about you, Bella? Are you interested in being bitten tonight? Is that why you are here?" Godric said.
Bella looked up at him in shock. He thought she wanted to get bitten?
"Oh, uh no. I'm not here to get bitten Godric" She replied, looking at him curiously.
"I see, do you not like being bitten? You have only been bitten by me, I apologize if I did not make the experience enjoyable for you"
Bella blushed deeply, remembering Godric's bite. It was incredible, how can he think she didn't enjoy it?
"Oh no, I... enjoyed your bite"
Godric looked at her warmly and squeezed her hand.
"Then why not let any of the vampires here bite you if you enjoyed it?" He cocked his head to the side.
Bella huffed, "I would only let someone I trust bite me and plus your making it sound like I could just walk out, bare my neck and have a hundred vampires wanting to bite me" She rolled her eyes.
Godric looked at her curiously, "I am sure every vampire here would love to taste your blood, Bella. It is extremely delicious, I know from experience" He winked at her. She blushed madly. Was that a compliment?
"I guess..." She said hesitantly, feeling awkward.
"No 'I guess' Bella, every vampire here would love to taste you. After all, it is you who said young and beautiful is a typical vampire type" He send her a half smile.
It felt like her heart stopped. He thought her beautiful. Godric thought her beautiful. Wha... how... maybe his vampire eyesight wasn't as good as I first thought? She thought in a daze.
Godric's brow furrowed, "You are surprised? Why is that?" Godric seemed genuinely baffled. Did he not just realize that he called her beautiful just now?
"Oh uh... You just said that I was beautiful" She looked down, her face was never going to go back to its normal color, is it?
When she looked up again she saw Godric looked even more confused, "Yes I did. You are Bella. You are very beautiful, do you not see yourself as such?"
Bella gasped. He thought her beautiful. He just said it. He said she was very beautiful. Oh my god. Oh my god. Godric thinks that she is beautiful. Very beautiful.
Bella is pretty sure she zoned out then, as when she looked back at Godric he looked worried and was saying her name, most likely having been trying to get her attention for a while. Bella was too shocked. She needed some space.
"Excuse me Godric, I will be right back" She announced then exited the booth.
She dodged the sweaty people and made her way to the back, towards the toilets. She needed some time to compose herself.
Bella entered the ladies toilets and thankfully it was empty. She placed her hands on the sink, hunched over and sighed.
Bella needed to unscramble her thoughts before she went back out to see Godric. He just called her beautiful and basically described her when he said his type. Did he mean it intentionally? No, don't be stupid. But he does find her beautiful.
Bella looked up and scanning herself in the mirror, she took her her features looking this way and that. She supposed she wasn't bad looking. But beautiful? Godric thought she was. She felt a warmth fill her chest. She smiled, he thought her beautiful. Godric had been around for centuries and probably seen the best looking women out there and thought her beautiful. She couldn't argue with his wisdom and experience. She sighed dreamily, pleased to no end that he saw her like that.
Maybe she should offer her blood to him? No... what if he rejected her? Well, she did say she tasted good... She bit her lip in indecision. She didn't know why but Bella really wanted to feed him, let him drink her blood. Besides, it did feel incredible. Resolved, Bella decided she would offer her blood and if he refused she wouldn't cry. She nodded to herself determinedly in the mirror and made her way back into the club.
Godric sat and watched Bella hurry off to the bathroom. He was confused. He had been flirting with her and teasing her but she seemed confused. He had to spell it out that he found her beautiful and desired her, had he not made himself obvious? He thought so.
Godric noticed as Eric vamped in beside him. He looked at Eric's smug face.
Eric sighed dramatically, "Well, that could have gone better" He said dryly. Godric growled lowly.
"What do you suggested I should have done? I made it plainly clear that I desire her" Godric stated frustrated.
Eric let out a low chuckle, "No you did not. You are forgetting her extreme self esteem issues and low self worth. You will have to literally say it. Be extremely obvious, leave no room for misinterpretation. It is silly to do such, tell her how much you want to fuck her and then take some time in my office" Eric remarked off-handedly.
Godric's brows furrowed. This seemed too direct for shy Bella.
"I do not want to frighten her way, Eric. I will simply explain to her how beautiful she is" Godric said.
Eric nodded lightly, "Yes, master. Then it would be wise if you feed on one of the vermin here. It will show her what she is missing. At least flirt with them a bit, get Bella all riled up" Eric grinned deviously at his maker.
Godric was frustrated. How on earth was Eric so popular with women. Just then, a waitress appeared and left a coke for Bella and gave a blood to Eric. His son then winked at the girl, sending her a lust filled leer. Her eyes widened and she squeezed her thighs together. Right, that's why.
Godric noticed as Bella exited the bathroom and started making her way over to the booth. He watched her progress raptly.
"Remember what I told you" Eric said then flashed away to his throne. A few of the humans ooh'd and ahh'd at this.
Bella made her way back to the booth Godric was sitting at, building up her courage. She would offer, it would be easy.
As Bella slipped into the booth she felt a sense of dread coil in her stomach. What if he rejected her? Oh god, that would be so humiliating.
Godric leaned forward in the booth, "Bella, you seemed confused before when I called you beautiful. I just wanted to make myself clear, you are beautiful. Very beautiful, the most beautiful women that I have ever laid eyes upon. The concept of beauty has changed throughout the centuries, but in every era you would have been viewed as such. Previously, I was trying to compliment you and your blood: it is truly divine. I fear I did not make this clear. Feeding from you was an experience I shall not soon forget and would very much like to do so again" Godric stated, while staring into her eyes.
Bella was flummoxed. Inside, her butterfly's were doing summer-salts of joy at his declaration. She felt a warmth spread through her chest and a lightness in her heart. She felt so... happy and accepted. She knew she could do this.
"Thank you Godric, that really means a lot to me. If you like, you can feed on me again? It would be an honor to give you my blood" She smiled. Bella felt a lot less nervous now Godric had said such wonderful things to her.
Godric eyes registered shock then warmed considerably, they looked so affectionate and welcoming. She wanted to sigh in happiness.
Godric nodded his head, "I would love to" He said. Bella's heart skipped a beat. He said yes! She grinned internally but tried to keep her expression blank as to not seem over-eager.
Godric stood from the booth and held his hand out for her to take. She placed her hand in his and allowed herself to be lead to the back of the club.
Bella felt nervous anticipation and she entered Eric's office. She would be bitten by Godric again. The last time was... exhilarating. She would need to calm down this time. She was led to the couch and sat down nervously. She fiddled with the hem of her dress awkwardly.
To her surprise, instead of sitting beside her, Godric knelt down to her level in front of the couch so that they were eye level to each other. She looked into his green-blue eyes, he was staring at her intensely.
Godric reached a hand up slowly, deliberately, and cupped her cheek. Bella felt comforted by this. His thumb stroked her cheekbone gently as he continued to stare into her eyes.
"Before at the fellowship, I did not prepare you as I should have done. I apologize, I know you are nervous so I will explain to you what I will be doing. Okay?" Godric murmured quietly. Bella nodded.
As he began his explanation, he trailed a finger gently along her jaw and down her neck. Bella's eyes widened. She felt frozen. He was very close to her, "First, I will place kisses along your jawline, down your neck, to your arteries" He muttered huskily.
He continued, "Next, I will prepare your veins by sucking on them gently, to increase the blood flow and make them more pronounced, lessening the pain you will feel" His finger slowly circled a vein on her neck, "My saliva has slight numbing properties, so after I suck on your skin for a while, I will gently slip my fangs into your luscious neck" His voice seemed to be getting lower and lower. She gulped and parted her lips.
"Finally, I will let your blood flow smoothly into my mouth, sucking slightly in time with your pulse, feasting upon your delicious blood" Godric murmured.
Yes. She wanted that. Oh god yes.
The whole time Bella stared into Godric's eyes, they seemed to have gotten darker, more sensuous, more dangerous. His pupils were larger and he was looking at her hungrily, like he wanted to devour her. Oh please, how badly she wanted to be devoured.
"Is this acceptable to you?" He questioned lowly. Bella nodded in a daze. It was more than acceptable, it seemed incredible.
Godric came forward slowly, Bella watched transfixed, her heart rate picked up. Just before their lips would meet Godric turned his head and placed a soft kiss on her jaw. She sighed in disappointment.
But she didn't feel disappointed for long, Godric trailed feather light kisses across her jaw. His lips were incredibly soft. Godric's kisses reached her ear. He took her ear lobe gently into his mouth, sucked on it, then nibbled at it. She felt a flash go from her ear to her crotch.
"You do not see your beauty, do you Bella? Your allure, your attraction?" Godric murmured hoarsely in her ear. She shuddered, his breath was warm. His words were building a fire inside of her.
She shook her head slightly.
Godric made a slight humming noise and began kissing behind her ear. Oh, that felt good.
"You are beautiful Bella. So beautiful. Inside and out" He peppered kisses onto her over warmed flesh.
Godric pulled back and Bella looked into his eyes. She noticed that she was now panting.
"You, Bella, are a seductress, inflaming me, making me mad with desire. Do you truly not feel how much I want you?" Godric questioned.
Bella was shocked, she searched for any sense of lies. She couldn't find any. Bella now started to feel a little uncomfortable... she felt needy... tingly. She couldn't explain it. She wasn't thinking clearly, it was like the rational part of her brain was slowly switching off.
"No" Bella breathed out. Godric hummed again and turned back to her neck. He placed a single kiss at her pulse point. She let out a soft moan.
She felt him move even closer to her so that their bodies were only inches apart. She could feel his presence so close to her. He took her hand gently and placed it on something hard.
Bella gasped. She looked down to see where her hand was. It was on his crotch... his bulge... his cock... and it felt hard. Very hard. She hesitantly flexed her fingers, squeezing a little. Godric groaned for him position on her neck. She heard a slight snick noise and then felt as Godric's fangs scraped gently along her neck.
He opened his mouth and started placing open-mouth kisses on her neck incorporating his fangs into the kisses. She groaned, his mouth felt so hot and soft.
Bella was stared at her hand on Godric. She began stroking him through the fabric of his pants. It seemed so... hard and huge. Bella wanted to touch him without clothes. She wanted to see what he looked like. She felt a throbbing sensation down low. It was becoming quite persistent.
She bared her neck more for his attentions.
"Enough" He growled out and removed her hand. Bella felt disappointed.
"Did you feel how much I want you?" he asked, while nipping along her neck, right where her neck meets her shoulder.
"Yes" She moaned, closing her eyes.
"hmmm, tell me, do you want me, Bella?" Godric said teasingly. She moaned. Dear god, yes yes yes!
"Yes, I do. Oh god, I do" She panted. She was burning up, feeling strange, it felt so good but she wanted more. Of what, she wasn't sure.
"How much?" Godric's voice was like gravel.
"Oh god, so much, so so much. Please Godric, please bite me" Bella gasped out, her legs parted unconsciously, allowing Godric to come closer to her.
Godric used his blunt teeth to bite down on her harshly. Bella felt a spark fly from where he bit her to her crotch, making her ache more. She let out a loud moan. He did not break the skin or use his fangs but dear god.
"No, properly, please Godric... I... I... need" Bella panted, desperately. Him. She needed him.
"What do you need Bella, tell me" He murmured and ran his fangs teasingly along her vein.
"You... I need you!" She moaned loudly. Godric snarled and sank his fangs into her.
Bella gasped. It felt so good. So so good. She could feel him drawing her blood from her neck. She arched her back. She let out moans of delight. She couldn't believe how incredible it felt.
Soon though, Bella wanted more. Craved more. It felt beyond incredible but she wanted something more. All too soon, Godric slipped his fangs out of her flesh and licked at the wound. She groaned in disappointment.
"No, no don't stop, not yet. Godric please" She whined. Bella was panting like she had run a marathon. She felt needy. Needy for more. More of Godric.
"Shh, Bella. I know what you need" He whispered into her ear. That just made the feeling worse.
She felt as he placed a hand on her knee. He began trailing it up her thigh slowly. Yes, Bella wanted this. She parted her legs widely and leaned back a little. Godric hunched over her more.
She felt as his finger gently touched her panties. She gasped. Godric moved his head to look her right in the eye. His eyes were ablaze, burning into hers. They looked so intense, so passionate. She started back into them deeply.
He continued watching her as he moved his finger along the fabric. She parted her lips. That felt good. It made the feeling worse but better at the same time. He moved his finger up and down, over the fabric slowly. She groaned.
"You are so wet, wet for me" He growled. He looked so wild, pupils blown, fangs bared and hair mused. He had never looked more sexy.
"wet?" Bella panted confusedly. What did he mean? It was hard to think when his finger moved oh so slowly down there.
A rumbling noise sounded in his chest, "Yes, wet. You are slick with your desire for me Bella" He got out lowly.
Just then, he slipped his finger underneath the fabric, she moaned at the feeling of his finger on her bare flesh. He moved his finger up and down again, it moved very easily. Bella could feel the wetness he had spoke about now.
His finger passed something on the upwards stroke that felt incredible to Bella. She gasped when he touched it. But unfortunately just as he touched it, he moved back down again. He repeated this for a while, watching her face intently. She stared back at him pleadingly. Enjoying what he was doing so much.
He then began stroking that amazing spot with his thumb. He circled it slowly and she moaned. Oh dear god, she wanted him to do it harder. She pushed down on his thumb, hoping for more pressure. He complied and used more force with his thumb. Yes. Oh god yes. That's what she needed.
Godric moved his thumb away and she whined, "No, don't stop" She whimpered, pushing herself down to try and get more friction.
Just then, she felt as he slipped his finger inside her. Her eyes widened. It felt... strange. She could feel him inside of her. It was a curious feeling. Not unpleasant though. He then began moving his finger in and out. That felt good.
She began rocking her hips to the movement of his finger. She tried to push him deeper and he allowed her to do so. He then added another finger inside. Her eyes fluttered closed and she leaned forward, onto his shoulder for support.
His fingers moved in and out of her rhythmically. She could now definitely feel the wetness he mentioned earlier. It made a slick noise as his fingers went in and out, she could feel the excess in moisture. She didn't care though. It felt too good. His fingers went slightly deeper, she groaned.
She nuzzled into his neck, panting heavily. This was incredible, it felt so heavenly, Godric was amazing.
"Oh god, so good" She moaned out.
She heard Godric's chest rumble, "Oh? Do you like this Bella?" Godric muttered. Bella keened and got out,
"Oh god yes, it feels so good Godric. You feel so good, oh god. Yes" She called out, louder than she intended. Godric's chest rumbled in satisfaction.
Just when Bella thought it couldn't get any better, she felt Godric place his thumb back on the place above her opening. It tingled, it felt so sensitive there. She moaned and thrust her hips back and forward. The combined friction of his fingers moving in and out deeply and his thumb, was too much for Bella.
She moaned, keening into his neck. She wrapped herself around his form tightly, clinging onto his desperately, begging him not to stop.
Bella was wild, out of control, she wasn't controlling her actions, she was just... feeling. She felt something building, something big, uncontrollable. It frightened her, she didn't know what it was.
"Godric, I...I feel something, I don't... Oh god, stop I feel strange" she moaned out but continued thrusting her hips.
"Shh shh, little one. I know I know, trust me, feel it, it is alright" He soothed. His fingers sped up. This didn't help Bella. She felt so strange, out of control, this feeling was building and building fast, she didn't know what to make of it.
Her face scrunched up and she closed her eyes tightly, it was becoming too much, the feeling.
Godric kept increasing the pace of his fingers, making Bella's predicament worse. As much as she thought she should stop, she couldn't. It felt too good, so good, so incredible, especially as his fingers went deeper. They were moving in and out of her very fast now, at inhuman speeds.
"Oh god, oh Godric, I, oh, please, just, ohhh" Bella let out a huge moan and felt something inside of her release. Her insides contracted around his fingers and she let out continuous breathy moans. She felt Godric shudder. She rode his fingers, in and out through the blissful feeling. It felt like she was floating on the cloud, weightless, the only thing that mattered was the pleasure she was feeling right here, right now, nothing else mattered. Nothing but Godric.
Eventually, the feeling subsided and she floated back down to earth. Wow, that was incredible.
She was still panting when she moved her head up from Godric's neck to look into his face. He looked dazed and was panting also.
Bella looked into Godric's eyes at that moment, she felt so connected to him then. So close. He had made her feel so amazing, so incredible. She was so grateful and wanted nothing more than to cuddle into him, taking in his delicious aroma.
She didn't do that, because in that moment Godric began removing his fingers from Bella. She felt as he moved them out slowly, her flesh over-sensitive. When his fingers were out, she felt the very large amount of wetness on her now drenched panties. She blushed. She could feel the warm moisture all over her now.
Bella watched as Godric brought his two fingers up and popped them into his mouth. She stared in awe. She watched as he closed his eyes in bliss and groaned as he sucked his fingers furiously. She was a little embarrassed but mostly fascinated.
Eventually, he removed his fingers from his mouth and opened his eyes to look at Bella.
Now that she had calmed down, she started to feel embarrassed and unsure. What just happened between them? He had... he had just touched her... and she... no, she wasn't a hundred percent certain about what had just transpired.
"You are more magnificent than I have ever imagined, ma petite" Godric said warmly, looking lovingly into her eyes.
"Wha? You-you imagined me like... that" She got out with wide eyes. Godric smiled slightly and raised his hands to run them down her arms in a comforting gesture.
"Of course, little one. I think I have just demonstrated how much I desire you" He smirked at her. Bella blushed, despite what they had just done. She felt ridiculously pleased with herself.
"Really? I uh... I don't know what to make of what just happened" She said quietly, biting her lip and looking away. She was happy, oh so happy but confused and felt nervous of what was going to happen next.
Godric turned her head, so she would look at him again, "Yes, I have desired you from the moment I laid eyes on you. You are confused by what just happened. Come, let us retire back to Eric's home and we can discuss this properly" Godric said in a calm voice and stood.
Bella followed suit and rose. She felt extremely nervous. What did they need to talk about? Oh god, what was he going to say? Bella felt equal amounts of hope and dread as she followed Godric out of Eric's office.
A/N: Ok, first attempt at writing something like this. Let me know what you think. Is it too much? offensive? Just plain terrible? Let me know. I hoped you enjoyed and are relieved that they are finally getting somewhere :P
