Part 9

Dwayne couldn't have been out of the room for more than a minute when he heard it.

"Dwayne! Dwayne! She's awake!" Laddie had yelled from the bedroom and Dwayne had, quite literally in his case, flew back there. When he reached the doorway, he stopped for a second. Anna was sitting up in bed. Her hair was stuck up in every which way, her cheeks were flushed, and as far as he was concerned, she was the most gorgeous thing he'd ever seen. He was sure now that if it was possible, she could get his long dead heart beating again. He watched as Laddie hurled himself at her, and although she obviously felt awful, she smiled when he threw his arms around her neck.

"Ok buddy, let get some air back into her lungs." Dwayne said warmly, as he made his way over to the bed and Laddie let her go, still beaming all over his face. "Hey." Dwayne said to her as he sat down next to her on the bed.

"Hey." She replied softly.

"How do you feel?"

"Exactly how much did we drink yesterday?" she answered, scrunching up her face.

"It'll pass soon." He said, with a small smile as he put his hand to her face and leaned into kiss her.

"You need something?" he asked.

"Water would be good. My mouth feels like a bio hazard." She said, frowning.

"Little man, do me a favour and go get her some water. If there isn't any, just take Paul's."

"Ok sure, especially if you're gonna kiss." Laddie said, sounding completely unimpressed before bouncing off the bed and out of the room, and the the two of them to laughed.

"He's right though, I am gonna kiss you."

"Oh, you are huh? Even with this mouth?"

"Yes, with that mouth, I love that mouth." He said as he lightly laid her back onto the pillow. As was usual whenever they kissed…or touched…or sometimes merely brushed past each other, and even though Dwayne had one eye on the door for Laddie to come bounding back in, it didn't take long for things to get more intense. Dwayne moved from her lips to her jaw and neck, leaving a heavenly trail of open mouth kisses. That's when Anna began to feel it. The burning started in her sinuses and quickly worked its way down her throat, finally exploding in her stomach. She'd never felt anything quite like it, certainly not any pain that came close. She clamped her eyes and lips together hard, to hold back the scream that was demanding to be set free.

It was when her grip on him got tighter and tighter, and not in the same way she did when she was enjoying what he was doing to her. When his name fell from her mouth in a way that sounded more like she was beginning for help, he pushed himself up to look at her and it didn't take long to realise it wasn't water she was thirsty for.

"Dwayne…" she managed to choke the words out of her throat, and he felt he could almost hear the pain in her throat.

"Just breathe." He said trying to keep her calm, all the time knowing there was only one way to help her. He put his thumb nail to his wrist and quickly made a deep cut. Looking back at her he saw the panic in her eyes at what she'd just seen. With his other arm. He reached under her and brought her up to him. "I know you're scared, but it'll stop the pain. I promise…I promise." He said and after as second and the tiniest nod of her head, he put his wrist to her mouth and she tentatively latched on. At first, he felt nothing, and then, as she began to accept it, he immediately began to feel the tension in her body ebb away. Straight off though, he became acutely aware of the effect it was having on him. He'd learned over however many years it had been, that to a vampire, letting someone drink from you was classed as a more of an intimate act than sex. And even though he could never claim to have been a saint, he had never let anyone do this to him. It had always just been about getting off and getting rid of the other person, quite literally sometimes. And now, from the second his blood passed through her lips, it all made sense, just like everything seemed to since they met, to why he'd never let anyone get that close.

He didn't think anything could compare with how it felt when they made love, but this was up there. Another way they could become part of each other. As he watched, his body became fully awake and painfully hard. Her eyes began to open and for now, the brightness was back. The grip she had on his wrist began to relax until she finally let go, and when Anna lay back on the bed, and if he wasn't stirred up enough, the sight of her breathless with his blood smeared around her mouth made it almost impossible to stay in control.

"What was that?" Anna asked after head had stopped swimming.

"It's Ok baby, I know how much it hurts but it just means it's gonna be quick. Marko went on for weeks like this."

"Weeks?" she asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, I'll go with quick." She said, and he laughed softly.

"You think you can get up?"

"I think so." She said, beginning to push herself up but Dwayne soon took over.

"Sorry! I couldn't find any! I had to take Star's…" Laddie began as he ran back in but stopped in his tracks when he saw Anna. Dwayne turned then and saw the look on his face.

"She's alright. But we're gonna go for a ride ok?"

"O…ok."

"I need you to go get my jacket and my keys and wait for us. We'll be out in a second." Laddie nodded and took off running again.

Dwayne sat Anna on the side of the bed and went to grab some of her clothes before helping her get dressed.

"Where are we going?"

"The boardwalk?"

"Right now? Why?"

"Baby, if it's happening this quick, my blood will only last for so long. You need to feed. Properly." He said, softly and she didn't question him anymore, she didn't need to.

…..

On the way through the tunnels that lead back to the main part of the cave, Dwayne held Anna's hand as he guided her. He knew she wouldn't need him to do this once the change was complete, her instincts would be as sharp as his and she'd be able to move through the dark as well as he did. He'd had a feeling he'd do it anyway though. He just like doing it. Made him feel like he was taking care of her. Which she also wouldn't need soon, but she'd have to deal with it because that was never gonna change. Before, they'd left their room, Dwayne had linked up with David. He and the other boys had slept at Max's to give the two of them some alone time, but he knew now that they were on the way back so he'd told them to make a detour and meet him and Anna at the boardwalk instead. There was no need to explain why, he knew all 3 of them would have felt it the second he'd bit into Anna's neck.

Anna watched as Laddie raced up the steps of the cave in front of her and just as she was about to follow him she felt hands at her waist hold her still. seconds before Dwayne swept her up into his arms, bridal style.

"What are you doing?" she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Making good on that carrying you around thing." He said as he began to climb the steps.

"I told you I'm not a princess." She said, smiling softly.

"And I told you before, I know, you're a queen."

"I'm not gonna win this argument, am I?"

"No." he said simply and making Anna smile and lay her head against his shoulder. There were worst places to be.

When Dwayne pulled the bike up near the entrance to the beach, he had Anna sat in front of him and Laddie behind. They looked like quite the little family and were quickly getting plenty of inquisitive glances from some of the crowd. Not that he really noticed, plus the masses thinned out fast when the other 3 brothers appeared. None of them wanting to make eye contact. The people there knew of the boys but had no real idea who they were and the brighter ones amongst them knew it was best to keep it that way.

"Can't leave you two alone for a minute huh?" David said with a small but warm smile, when they reached Dwayne's bike. He leaned in and gave Anna a soft kiss on the cheek. When he looked into her eyes, he could see that the blue that was usually there had begun to fade. It wasn't going to be long now. When he stepped back, Marko took his place and kissed her other cheek, he just had time to flash her a smile before being unceremoniously barged out of the way by Paul, who by passed the kiss and went straight in for a bear hug. The other 3 boys, including Laddie, shook their heads and rolled their eyes to heaven, Paul had no middle ground. He was either at 0 or 11 and that was it.

After a few seconds, Paul felt Anna's hands grip onto the back of his jacket and her body lean into him. At any other time he would have been enjoying the shit out of it, but he knew what was happening.

"Hey man." He said, to Dwayne, motioning with his head to come over, while trying not to attract to attention. When he gently passed her to Dwayne, Anna's hand went straight to her stomach and she grimaced in pain.

"It's happening again…Dwayne…help me…" she said, hanging onto him.

"It's ok angel. It's gonna be over soon, but you have to feed now." He watched as she looked up at him, eyes full of fear.

"How do I even do this?"

"Don't worry about it Anna. Why do you think we come here? It's like scumbag take out." Paul said.

"First times the roughest. Promise." David said as gently as he could.

"I can bring it to you, just until you're used to it." Dwayne whispered into her hair, hating seeing her this scared and in so much pain.

"I…" Anna began to speak by immediately stopped and stared over Dwayne's shoulder. Quickly, Dwayne turned his head and followed her eye line, as did the other boys.

"Good choice." Marko said when he saw what had her attention.

Anna watched as Amanda and her little posse walked up from the entrance to the beach. Even the way she walked was obnoxious. From the very first time she'd laid eyes on her, Anna just knew that she was one of those girls that would have relished making your life a misery in high school, just because it was fun and she could, and by the way she had seen her and her band of witches treat people on the boardwalk, well it had only confirmed her theory. Now though, the only thing that was running through her mind, was all the times she'd hit on Dwayne. Never letting the fact that Anna was there at the time get in her way. Her girlfriends had shoved Anna out of the way, while Amanda had put her hands all over him. Of course, each time, he'd shot her down but that hadn't stopped her.

"Are you sure?" Dwayne asked.

"I'm sure."

"My baby gets what she wants." He said, his voice dropping and sounding a lot more sensual. She knew what was going to happen, there was no way this girl would follow Anna anywhere, but she wouldn't think twice if Dwayne suddenly paid her some attention and the thought of it, even though it wasn't real, almost felt scarier to Anna than the reason for doing this in the first place.

"I know what you have to do but…promise me you won't kiss her." she said, giving him a sad little smile.

"Are you kidding me? These are the only lips I'll ever kiss again." He said, taking her chin in his thumb and forefinger before giving her a quick soft kiss. A few seconds later, another wave of pain hit and her knees buckled. They couldn't afford to wait any longer.

"Take care of her?" Dwayne told his brothers as he begrudgingly let her go.

"Was that an actual question?" David said and Dwayne had to admit it was a dumb thing to say. Even if somebody had just wanted to ask her what time of day it was, they would have to go through the 3 of them first. Just before he disappeared, he saw Paul drop down onto one of the picnic benches and pull Anna into his lap, unsurprisingly earning himself a serious "What the fuck?" look from Dwayne.

"What? Dude, we have to make it look real!" he said, with that grin and Dwayne forced himself to take a deep breath. The massive smack upside the head would have to wait until later.

…..

It couldn't have been more than 15 minutes later when the boys caught eyes with each other. Dwayne was ready for her. "You ready Chica?" Paul, said into her ear and she nodded softly.

"As I'm ever gonna be."

"Come on, I'll take you down there." Marko said taking her hand and gently pulling her to her feet "Pretty sure Paul can't stand up right now anyway." He said, and Paul really couldn't argue. He'd been sat there with her on his lap trying to think the purest of thoughts and failing miserably. Before they walked away, Laddie jumped down from the bench and ran to her before throwing his arms around her waist and hugging her tightly.

"I'll see you soon ok?" she said, bending to kiss the top of his head, and Marko steadied her as her balance wavered.

"C'mon buddy, pizza time." David said trying to distract him, the mention of pizza usually did the trick.

….

"Where is he?" Anna asked.

"On the beach." Marko said and he could feel her tense up.

"Bit of advice. Don't rush in there too quick. I did and puked right up."

"I'll keep it in mind?" she laughed, even though it hurt. They probably couple more hundred yards, Marko stopped.

"You see those rocks? He's right there waiting. You gonna be ok from here?"

"I'll be fine now. Thanks Marko. You're a real gentleman."

"Thanks, just don't tell anyone ok?"

"Never." She smiled.

….

Anna took a deep breath before forcing herself to put one foot in front of the other. She could see the rocks but no matter how much she walked, they didn't seem to be getting any closer. "Come on. Get your shit together, you can do this!" she said to herself as she made herself pick up the pace. When she got there, she was sure she was going to either throw up or faint. "Stop it. You're being pathetic." She berated herself again before beginning the short climb up the rocks. Just before she reached the top, she stopped and took another breath. The pain she had been feeling just moments earlier she could barely feel now, due to the adrenalin rushing through her system. She took one more hard swallow to get rid of the fear that was rising in her throat, then climbed the last few steps to the top.

In the dark, the first thing she saw was a shock of blonde hair and she realised she was behind Amanda who was sat on the rocks. Anna could hear her talking, but not what she was saying. As her vision adjusted to the darkness, and judging by Dwayne's expression, it didn't really matter. Then his eyes found her, and Anna felt her heartbeat pick back up. This time though, it had nothing to do with fear but the fact that when he saw her, the life came back into his eyes. When his gaze shift, the Amanda turned her head to follow it.

"Well isn't this fucking pitiful." She said, in a voice that was just a high-pitched whine, to which Anna said nothing. "Please it was only a matter of time before he came to his senses. You HAD to know that." To be fair, Anna almost missed the end of the sentence, because on the 'him' she had put her hand to Dwayne's chest. That's when the thumping Anna's head began. It sounded like a heartbeat but she didn't know if it was her own or Amanda's.

"I don't know how you put up with her so long. Did you feel sorry for her…" Now Dwayne had stopped hearing her. His eyes were glued to Anna has he saw her head drop forward and suddenly his head was filled with pictures that weren't coming from him. The girl in front of him was already dead, drained and limp on the ground and he had Anna in his arms and then she was underneath him. That's when he knew they'd connected. When she lifted her head, it was impossible not to smile. His hands balled up into fists and he had to battle to keep his own other self from coming to the surface. This was her time.

That's when heard Amanda trail off. "What…what the fuck is wrong with you! I'm fucking talking to you, you bitch!" she panicked before turning to Dwayne "Do something she's a fucking freak! Are you hearing me! I said do something!" she screeched, but he didn't move, didn't speak, just let his eyes drift her back to Anna.

"C'mon baby." Is all he said before Anna pounced. In one movement, she cleared the gap between the two rocks and suddenly Amanda was on the ground, unable to scream due to Anna's hand tightening around her throat, constricting her breathing. Amid the thumping in her head, the burning in her throat and the hunger in her stomach all peaking at their most unbearable, Anna was helpless to hold back anymore. She leaned in and ripped into the other girl's neck, her fangs slicing easily through the flesh. When she felt the first wave of blood burst in her mouth, she thought she might pass out. Every nerve in her body came to life at once, it was almost too much. As the flow began to ease, Anna felt herself begin to calm. The throbbing and burning stopped and she felt like she could see again. When Amanda had nothing left for her, she pushed herself up so she knelt in the sand over her drained body.

The next time she looked up at him, she was Anna again. Her hands, face, neck and majority of the top of her breasts in her vest were plastered in blood and he was sure he had never been so turned on in his life. He watched as she looked down at her blood-stained hands then back to him.

"Dwayne." Was all she said before he was on her. He grabbed her up into his arms and her legs wrapped around his waist like a vice. As their mouths crashed and their tongues fought, Dwayne filled his hands with her ass and squeezed hard until she whimpered.

"Please…Now!" she practically sobbed as she desperately ground her centre against his aching cock as if she couldn't get close enough. The need for him almost more painful than the hunger had been.

"I know what you're feeling" Dwayne began breathlessly "And fuck am I gonna take you home and make it better. But right now, I have you clean you up so we can get out of here ok?"

"Mmm hmm." She answered, pressing her hips into his one more time before Dwayne begrudgingly peeled her off him.

The rocks they were hidden behind were close to the shore so it hadn't taken Dwayne long to get in and out without being seen. Plus, it didn't hurt that he had speed on his side. He'd taken off his jacket and shirt before soaking the shirt it in the water.

"Doin' ok?" he asked when he returned to her and began wiping the blood from her face.

"I'm ok." She almost whispered, as her hand immediately went to his free one. She moved it so it cupped her cheek and she nuzzled into it like a kitten, before slowly moving it down so it covered her breast. She delicately squeezed his hand so that he had no choice to do the same to her breast.

"You're gonna drive me fucking crazy. Don't you dare stop." He said as he finished cleaning her up as quickly as possible. He pulled up the hood of her hoodie after he noticed that her eyes hadn't completely reverted to the blue that he loved to much and he wasn't going to risk anyone seeing.

"Ready?" he asked, helping her up.

"What about…" she began, looking down at the body at their feet.

"Paul and Marko will be here in a second. Don't think about it Ok." He said pushing a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. He put his arm around her neck and pulled her tightly into his "C'mon."

The ride back was agonizing in the best possible way. Her hands roamed his chest and sides, fingers dipping into the waistband of his jeans then out again before scratching lightly over his firm belly. When she brought her legs up around his hips and pressed her heal against his crotch, he was sure they were about to be caught doing some very bad things at the side of the road. When they arrived back after what felt like the longest journey of Dwayne's life, and after climbing off himself, he snatched Anna of the bike and hitched her up onto his hip, holding her there with one arm like she weighed nothing. His only objective, getting her to their room and out of her clothes.

Even during the shirt trip between the clifftop to the bedroom, she still wouldn't let up. Her lips and tongue worked his neck the entire time. When he finally got there, he all but her tossed her onto the bed causing Anna to giggle loudly.

"You. Are a very…very…very bad girl." He said, tearing off his jacket and chucking it to one side. He kicked off his boots while at the same time grappling with his jeans. The situation becoming an even more desperate one, when she began removing her own clothes with equal urgency. She however, only managed to get down to her underwear before he launched himself onto the bed.

After less than half a second, her bra was no longer fit for purpose, as he tore it from her body before mumbling something about buying her a new one. The mumbling due to that fact that he now had a mouth full of her breasts. He lapped and sucked and nibbled and Anna thought she was lose it long before she was ready to.

"So, what if I'm bad. What exactly are you gonna do about it?" she said, purposely baiting him. Dwayne dragged himself from his happy place then and looked her dead in the eye, causing the few parts of her body that weren't already doing so begin to throb.

"I'm gonna show you what bad girls get." He said, biting on her ear lobe, before pushing her just hard enough so that she toppled forward, onto all fours on the bed. "Do you know what bag girls get?" he asked, moving up behind her, occasionally letting his cock brush against her, just for the sweet torture of it.

"No." she said, her voice shaking before Dwayne suddenly brought his hand down hard onto her ass. Anna threw he head back, the sound out of her throat, a divine mixture of pleasure and pain.

"Can't hear you."

"No!" she said louder, but it just led to another hard smack.

"Oh! Fuck!" she cried out and Dwayne began to run the flat of his hand over the skin which was rapidly starting to flush red. She felt the tips of his fingers brush against the right spot between her legs and her back arched upwards.

"Shit you're wet. This is punishment, you're not supposed to like it." He growled, his voice sending shock waves through her body. "Guess there's only one way you'll learn." With that, he grabbed her hips, pulling her back against him hard. He didn't even bother to take her panties off her, just moved them to one side and then, after lining himself up right, he all but impaled her on his dick. If he thought her screams were loud when he spanked her, they were nothing compared to this. He was sure they must have heard her all the way back on the beach and it was exquisite music to his ears.

Dwayne was relentless. Of course, he didn't want to hurt her, but he knew exactly what she was feeling. He'd been through it, the desperation to feel satisfied after the first few times you fed was palpable. He wasn't sure if back then, he ever got the release he so desperately looked for, but if he was honest, he wanted it for her more than he ever did for himself.

"Please! Oh fuck! I need to cum!" she was almost weeping.

"Tell me who owns you're pussy and I'll let you." He demanded.

"Oh…God…"

"Say it!" he said, violently thrusting his hips.

"You! Oh, God you do! It belongs to you! I belong to you!" she cried out as Dwayne leaned forward so his mouth was now directly against her ear.

"Good girl." He whispered, before pushing her forward so she lost her balance completely and fell forward onto the bed, while Dwayne dropped the full weight of his body on her, trapping her beneath him. A few more brutal thrusts later, she was clamping down around him harder than he'd ever, tearing his seed from him with an orgasm so powerful he could have sworn he heard the angels sing.

…..

"What?" he asked softly, when he caught her looking at him, the prettiest smile etched across her face.

"That was different." She said, almost shyly.

"Good different or…" he began and she stopped him.

"Good different! Oh my God so good!" said pushing herself up enthusiastically, pressing her lips against his and Dwayne laughed into the kiss.

"One thing though…"

"Why did it feel like your body was gonna split in half if you didn't get off?" he said, jumping in this time.

"Yeah that." She smiled.

"It's normal. Just one of the side effects. But I just want to know I'm here for you." He said and she laughed as he turned her so she was on her back again.

"I don't know who taught you all these things but I hope they know I'm grateful." She said as he settled on top of her.

"It's you. Let's just I find you inspire me." He said, as he began to place soft, teasing kisses on her neck. This was going to be a long night.

….

Yurri sat at his regular table, behind the VIP rope of course. Apart from his regular crowd, there were 2 girls on either side of him and several more dancing in front of him, but it was having no effect. Truth be told, he couldn't even see them. Since what was left of Yvette's body had been dropped on his doorstep, it was all he'd thought about. He couldn't say that she didn't get on his last nerve half the time but she was still one of his favourite toys. He wasn't stupid, he knew about the past and he knew David was responsible, David or one of them. When he'd heard about Dwayne getting married, he had to admit that curiosity had gotten the better of him and one night, he'd gotten as close to her as possible without being spotted by the other 2 blondes who'd looked like they were playing bodyguard that night. And yes, his first instinct had been to kill her of course it had. But as frustrating as it was it was too easy and that wasn't his style. The more he thought about it, he realised it would be much more fun to just take her. Yes he would wait, and soon he would have a shiny brand new toy to play with.
