Part 8

"I kind of wish you could read my mind already." Dwayne said, as he pressed Anna into the wall.

"Oh? And why is that?" She said, as she absentmindedly popped open one of the few buttons still holding his shirt together.

"Because, then you'd be ready for all the things I'm gonna do to you tonight." He'd purred into her ear and Anna's body instantly came to life. She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to bite teasingly at his bottom lip before kissing him deeply. Since they'd gotten to Max's house, the alcohol had been flowing freely and by now they were all on the wrong side of sober. Which is probably why Dwayne quickly beginning to get carried away with public display of affection, as Anna felt his hands begin to slide up her thighs and under her skirt, only to come to a sudden stop. He pulled out of the kiss and eyed her for a second. "Is that a garter belt?"

"The lady in the store said it would go with the rest of it."

"And are you wearing rest right now?"

"Guess you'll find out soon enough." She said, giving him the most innocent smile.

"Ok, we have to go soon." He said and Anna couldn't help but giggle at the sudden desperation in his voice.

"We can't just walk out of our own wedding."

"So, you think if I go in there and say thanks, but I need to have an insane amount of sex with my wife now, you think they'd mind?"

"Well, I dunno what Max's new girlfriend's gonna think but hey, don't hold back on my account!" A voice that was unmistakably Paul's reverberated into the air. Anna rested her forehead against Dwayne's and smiled at his suddenly exasperated expression. Anna looked over her husband's shoulder then.

"What the hell happened to you!" Anna said, causing Dwayne to turn his head. Paul was head to toe dripping wet.

"Douchebag pushed me into the pool." And by douchebag, Anna immediately knew he meant Marko.

"So, you're breaking Lucy in gently then?" Anna said, referring to the woman Max had brought to the party with him.

"Yeah, I was gonna ask if I could call her Mom. What do you think? Too soon?" He asked, cocky ass grin plastered across his face.

"I don't think you were born. More like you fell out of the sky." Dwayne said and Anna couldn't not laugh when Paul stood there for a second, looking like he was actually considering it.

"Anyway! It's my turn to dance with the bride." Paul said, as he began leading Anna back towards the main house "Don't worry about getting your dress wet babe, pretty sure you aint gonna be wearing much longer anyway." He said, loud enough for Dwayne to hear and as annoying as it was, this time he couldn't argue.

…..

"Oooooh…Dwayne…yes…Oh God YES!"

"Shit baby…that's right! Gonna make you cum so fucking hard!"

"Can't…I can't…not again…"

"Yeah you can." He said, his hot mouth pressed right up against her ear. Dwayne was sat on the edge of the bed with Anna on his lap, facing away from him. Her back was pressed into his chest and every hard inch of him was inside of her. His hands had been on her hips, helping to control her movements but now he could feel her body was unsurprisingly beginning to tire. Sometimes it did slip his mind that she didn't have his stamina. Yet. He reached around and slipped his hand between her legs before pressing his thumb against the, by now, overly sensitive bundle of nerves. Straight away, one of her hands flew up and into his hair, where she began to pull and claw at his scalp, the mixture of the pleasure with the pain felt delicious to him. Anna used all the strength she had left in her body to push herself down onto him, while Dwayne began to pound into her erratically. When they came, it was together and frenzied. "Heard you got married today. I don't think your husbands gonna be happy about this." he said, and Anna giggled sleepily as she turned and climbed up on to him, straddling his lap.

"I think I'll keep you instead." She said as she kissed him and Dwayne turned her in his arms, laying her on her back on the bed. For the first few seconds when she looked up into his stunning face, there had been the slightest hint of a smile there but it quickly faded. As did something in his eyes. "I don't need to be able to read your mind to know what you're thinking right now." She said softly. Dwayne reached up to brush away a couple of strands of hair that still clung to the light sheen of sweat on her forehead and cheek.

"You look so perfect right now. I'm sorry angel. I wish it didn't have to be like this."

"Don't. Never say sorry for any of it. The only thing that scares me is the thought of us never meeting in the first place."

"It would have happened. No matter what. And if you'd been with someone else…Ahh I'd have taken you anyway" He said, making giggle as he moved to capture her lips with his. Afterwards when he looked at her, it was her expression that had changed.

"So, I'm gonna die? When you do it?" she almost whispered and Dwayne felt like he'd been punched in the stomach.

"No baby, you're not gonna die." He said, pressing his forehead against hers as he tried to keep it together.

"But, you said, when it happened to you…"

"It doesn't have to be that way. When I do it, my venom will mix with your blood and you'll become half. After that you'll feed and it'll be done." He watched as her eyes shifted away from his for a second and then return.

"So, can my first be one of those girls that always hit on you every time we go to the boardwalk?" she said with a small smile and Dwayne couldn't not laugh. Or in fact think that it was physically possible to love her any more than he did right now, but he had a feeling she would prove him wrong on that. He was also sure, that when she came out of the other end of this, she would be able to kick his and all his brother's ass's if she wanted to. Whatever was to come, he wasn't going to drag it out any longer.

"I love you." He said, before kissing her softly at first, then making it deeper. Soon, though, he moved his attention to her jaw line and neck, and she reciprocated the 'I love you' as his lips ghosted over her collar bone before stopping to pay some attention to her breasts. The second his mouth covered her nipple, Dwayne felt her body arch up towards him. He'd worked out early on that she was extra sensitive there and each time he did it, she either fell apart in his hands or went wild on him. On any other day, he would he would be happy to spend some considerable time there and it wasn't easy to keep from getting distracted, his own body was already awake and he was as hard as a rock yet again but he knew right now, that he had to keep his head in the game. Somehow.

He moved down her torso, deliberately running his tongue across her skin so slowly she thought she would lose her mind. She felt his powerful hands grip the top of her thighs. Quickly, he hooked one of her legs over his shoulder and soon the exquisite feeling the tip of that tongue tasting her pussy from bottom to top was sending waves of electricity through her entire body. Dwayne let his mouth go to town on her, slipping his hands under her ass and lifting her to him. He did his best not to get to carried away, he knew she'd still be delicate from earlier but taste of her was more addictive and put him on a bigger high than any drug or anonymous blood that had ever flowed through his system. Then when, Dwayne felt nails scratching at his shoulder blades and back of his neck, her body, begin to tense and release, he knew it was time to move. He pushed himself upwards, so that his body covered her and in one rapid movement of his hips, he was in her. He watched as her mouth fell open and her head drop back in response to his first few gentle thrusts. She looked so beautiful, and again the heavy feeling of regret, that he had to do this to the one person he ever had or ever would love like he did, washed over him.

"So, don't do it. But one day you know you'll lose her." a voice in the back of his mind taunted "She'll be gone and you'll still be bound to this earth. You couldn't even call it hell, because hell would be utopia compared to how it would feel." And it was true. The thought that there would conceivably be a day that he couldn't be with her, wasn't one that he was willing to entertain, ever again.

Soon, he was moving in her hard and fast, he wasn't making love to her now, this was definitely fucking. Both of them were slick with sweat and the sounds their bodies made when they met were downright obscene.

"Mine…You're fucking…mine…" He began panting between sloppy kisses.

"Dwayne! Oh, God please! Take me right now!" The last 3 words out of her mouth were like red mist to him, he could feel himself begin to change, and could do absolutely nothing to stop it. The sound of her heartbeat in his head seemed to drown everything else out and that's when he felt his fangs push through. With as much control as he could muster, he turned Anna's head to the side and with one more fierce thrust of his hips, Dwayne bit down hard into the flesh at the base of her throat. When it had happened to him, his heart had already stopped beating. The only thing he remembered was waking up. Anna was fully aware of what was happening and her screams of agony racked though his body, and the fact that he was the one causing it made it all the more unbearable. Then there was the voice again.

"She's yours now. Forever." And then he felt her body go limp against him. He'd been careful not take too much of her blood, so he guessed the venom along with the searing pain had become too much. When he let go, the first thing he did was run his tongue over the open wound to heal it as much as possible, then gently turned her head towards him so he could see her eyes, which she was already struggling to keep open.

"It's done baby, it's over. I'ma take care of you. I'm right here, you hear me?" He could hear himself begin to babble frantically before forcing himself to pull his shit together.

"Dwayne!" a little voice from behind him caused him to spin around quickly.

"Laddie?" Dwayne said, a little surprised but thankful to see him stood there. "Laddie Go, get the covers from the one of the other beds! Fast as you can!" he said and the boy didn't even question him, just took to his heals.

Dwayne jumped off the bed and pulled on his jeans before grabbing and t shirt and moving back to the bed to pull it over Anna's head. She was beginning to shake; the shock was kicking in. "It's okay sweetheart I'm right here." He said, gently laying her back down on the pillow, as Laddie came running back in, carrying a pile of sheets that was almost as big as he was. This time though, he wasn't alone, because now Michael stood in the doorway to their room, and so it was that Dwayne saw red for the second time that night.

Michael's gaze quickly shifted from Dwayne to the girl on the bed "What's happening? What did you do to her?" he asked, before making straight for them, just as a frantic Star appeared behind him.

"Michael no!" she cried, but it was too late. Dwayne was off the bed and on Michael quicker that it took to blink. Laddie and Star could do nothing but stand and watch as he slammed Michael against the wall where he held him there by the throat, tight enough that his feet were off the ground.

"Why did you bring him here?" Dwayne growled at Star, but kept his eyes on Michael, who was already struggling for breath.

"I didn't know you were here! I'm sorry Dwayne please don't hurt him! We'll go! We'll go right now! Please!" She begged through streaming tears.

"If you ever speak to her, look at her, fucking exist around her in a way I don't like. I'll open you up, you understand?" Dwayne threatened Michael and when he got no response, gave him another hard-smack into the wall.

"Ye…Yesss…" Michael managed to choke out.

"Say hello to your Mom for me asshole." Dwayne said, and dropped him, letting him crumple to the floor, before Star ran to him, doing her best to get him back on his feet. "Get out." Dwayne barked without looking back at them as he, made his way back to his wife who was completely unaware of what had just happened.

"Laddie, come on we have to go." Star said, but he didn't move "Laddie!"

"I'm staying. I'm wanna help take care of Anna." He said confidently, and Dwayne couldn't help but feel proud of his baby brother.

"You heard him." Dwayne said, shutting Star down before she had chance to say anything.

…..

"I'm glad you found her." Laddie said as he knelt on the bed next to Anna.

"I think it's more like she found me little man."

"Is she gonna be ok?" Laddie asked quietly.

"She's gonna be fine. She has you here to take care of her remember?" Dwayne said trying to put his mind at rest but he still looked unsure "We're gonna stay right here til she wakes up ok?" He said and was happy to see a small smile appear on his young face.

There were a few hours left until the sun went down but neither were ready to sleep. So, the 2 bothers settled down to wait, until she came back to them.
