I didn't know how to express what I wanted from Alexandre, but he seemed to understand with very little prompting. I greedily stripped us out of our clothes when we reached the bedroom and ran my hands down his body. My favorite scar was now a thick white line running across his hip. I traced it softly and his breathing hitched.
"What are you going to do when that scar is no longer there?" He growled against my neck.
"Find a new favorite place to tease you." I responded with a shrug. "Somewhere like..." And I slid my hands lower to hear him inhale sharply. He snarled at me and tossed me lightly on the bed. He was before me in an instant, the wolfish look unrestrained on his face.
"Don't be gentle." I told him as he leaned over me. I could feel the heat of his skin increase at the suggestion and his eyes took on a wilder sheen. There was a low growl building in his chest as he flipped me over in a swift move.
"Are you sure about this love?" His voice sounded like it was coming through clenched teeth and I nodded, breathless with anticipation. He readjusted my position, pulling me up onto my knees and elbows. "Last chance." He growled.
"I'm sure." I gasped, and he pulled my hips to him and I cried out as our bodies joined. He tugged my torso upwards, pulling my back against his chest, dropping one hand below my waist to let his fingers wander and touch. I arched against him and he slid his other hand up along my throat, his thumb tracing my lips as I moaned his name. The sound seemed to excite him and he moved faster and harder against me. I reached behind me to grip his head and bring it to my throat, and he eagerly latched on, which sent me into spasms of pleasure and pain, but Alexandre wasn't done with me, dropping me back on the bed, he dragged me to him again. I squirmed, which made his wolfish side even more excited. He pulled me into his lap again and linked my arms around his neck and my legs behind his waist.
"Hold on." He growled, and then we were against a wall, and he was driving our bodies together as hard as he could, one hand against the wall beside my head the other clutching my bare butt. I groaned, tossing my head back. Alexandre licked at the slightly bleeding wound on my neck and increased his pace insistently. I felt the build of pressure in my lower abdomen and moaned as another tidal wave of pleasure washed over me. I felt myself slipping as my muscles went weak, and Alexandre let me begin to slide, cradling me to drop me again on the bed, when he slowly and tenderly brought me to release once more, before letting himself go too and collapsing on the bed beside me. I could feel my muscles trembling for a few moments as Alexandre hugged me to him. When he regained control of his vampire side he asked me with worry. "Are you ok?" I cleared my throat.
"Yeah." I let out a strangled laugh. "If I was human, I wouldn't be able to walk for a week." Then I laughed myself silly until tears stood in my eyes and Alexandre was looking at me nervously.
"Seriously Alexandre-you should let yourself go more often. Turns out, I like it." I laughed, tracing his swollen lips with my finger.
"Ah Carys, I was still restraining myself there, I just took less precautions than usual because you asked me to." He murmured and kissed me. I felt a little thrill of anticipation and fear accompanied by a squeezing sensation in my lower abdomen. Alexandre lightly rubbed the gentle swelling between my hips. "Is everybody feeling ok?" He asked. I nodded and my stomach gurgled.
"Apparently just a little queasy and hungry." I laughed. Alexandre offered his wrist. "No, I think I may be able to start keeping regular blood down now. It's not so bad anymore." I said thoughtfully, then kissed his wrist. "Though I will miss my favorite beverage." Alexandre nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck and sighed contentedly.
"I love you Carys." He murmured against the skin of my shoulder.
"Eternally." I replied, and with that we both drifted off to sleep.
