The arrangements had been made quickly, and with a sense of nervousness and finality, I woke the next afternoon with my stomach churning.
"It's not even you being turned." Alexandre teased lightly, tracing patterns on my stomach.
"I know. Did you call Cornelius and Rory?" I chewed my lower lip nervously.
"Yes love." Alexandre moved my hair and kissed the back of my neck.
"And Auggie's stuff is on the way?" I asked.
"Mmm." Alexandre hummed, kissing down my shoulder. I suppressed a shudder.
"I only have one request then." I said softly and Alexandre bit the flesh of my shoulder, hard enough to break the skin and draw a light trickle of blood, but not aggressively. It was more like a love-bite. I gasped and arched into him.
"Oh, and what is that? He murmured against my skin as he licked away the blood. I moaned and tried to concentrate as his tongue traced patterns on my back and shoulder.
"We do this together-like everything else so far." I responded and Alexandre stilled.
"Are you sure you want to do this Carys? August is an otherwise healthy adult male. He's going to have to be damn near drained and then fed quite a bit to recover that blood loss quickly. The probability of blood highs aren't just likely, they're expected because.."
"Yes, I understand the vamps feeding him will be draining him to try to equalize blood loss. I get the mechanics of it Alexandre." I cut him off and rolled over with a grunt to face him. "I sort of thought that was why Cornelius and Rory were coming. To lessen the burden so to speak. Or at least keep watch in case any of us goes bat-shit. Especially with Mina in the house." I grimaced.
"Luc will be watching Mina." Alexandre murmured, kissing my shoulder. I blinked in surprise for a moment, then smiled softly and turned slightly to brush my lips against his ear. It was his turn to look surprised, and when he did, I took the opportunity to kiss him deeply.
"What was that for?" He asked incredulously.
"I'm just very much in love with you and very proud." I whispered. He grinned slightly, a wolfish look coming into his eyes.
"Does it earn me privileges?" He teased, gripping my hips lightly under the blanket. I rolled my eyes at that, but can't help but feel the corner of my mouth twitch into a grin as well.
"I guess." I sighed and Alexandre growled, pulling me to him as I giggled madly. He buried his nose in my neck and I stiffen slightly, anticipating the slight pain of his bite. Instead, he kissed the spot, grazing his teeth along it gently before moving lower to my collarbone. I let my head fall back and sigh. He kisses his way over my stomach, pausing there for a moment as if worshiping.
"I know I've told you before Carys, but you've made me so unbelievably happy." Alexandre looked at me over the small expanse in which our child is growing and the look in his eyes is almost enough to make me cry.
"I'm happy too Alexandre." I whispered, choking back tears and he smiled softly, splaying a hand lovingly across my stomach before allowing his fingers to trail downward between my thighs. He parted them gently, fingers tracing a path upwards until he brushed against me, making me suck in a breath. Another wolfish grin and he's lowering his face between my parted thighs, kissing one thigh, gently raking his teeth along the inner pulse, which makes me squirm.
"Do it, please. Bite Alexandre." I begged. Damn these vampire weaknesses.
"No." His lips brushing against my skin nearly made me lose control. "There'll be plenty of that later." He moved closer to my womanhood and I bucked my hips.
"Oh god, if you-" But my words got cut off by a feral cry of my own as Alexandre sucked my clit into his mouth. Fisting the sheets around me, I tried to staunch the string of expletives. Let's just say vampires are very good with their mouths. Alexandre chuckled lightly, which added a whole new dimension of fun to the equation, before releasing me. His tongue flicked out to torment me a few more times before his fingers found their way to me and entered me slowly. I cried out.
"Pregnancy makes you so deliciously sensitive." Alexandre teased as my hips started bucking again. I wiggled and tried to escape him. He growled lightly and pinned me to the bed.
"Where are you going little love?" He purred, wolfish look gleaming in his eyes.
"Just.."
"Just where?" He countered as he crawled to hover over me.
"Oh god." I moaned and dug my fingers in his hair to bring his face to mine, causing him to bend around my stomach. The kiss was needy and fierce, and Alexandre's tongue instantly entered my mouth while his hands continued to tease my body. One flitted over a breast, flicking, rubbing, squeezing and then pinching, which made me yelp, while Alexandre chuckled again. In retribution, I let my own hands wander. Men's bodies could be just as sensitive. With a snicker, I tweaked his chest and using my other hand to remind him I had just as much control with a firm, but gentle squeeze of his manhood. Alexandre growled and, moving faster than I'd seen in a while, sat up and pulled me up with him. In an instant he had me turned around on my knees, gripping the headboard. A gentle hand wrapped around my ribs while the other tangled in my hair. He leaned over my back and kissed the back of my neck, making me arch.
"I'll be gentle." He whispered, stroking my stomach.
"Don't." I murmured back and he growled again. I felt his teeth rake a trail down my spine and his hand tightened in my hair. I couldn't help but squirm and squeal slightly, which made his growl louder. He thrust a knee between my thighs, parting them, then guided my shoulders down slightly. God this man knew how to turn me on.
Alexandre's hand slid down my spine, but didn't stop there, slipping between my legs to tweak my clit, which made me suppress another squeal. I tried to escape him halfheartedly, but Alexandre's hand in my hair tightened, not enough to hurt me, but enough to make me still. I could almost smell the predator on him along wit the hormones, the arousal, and with him not letting me turn around to see what he was doing, I was driving myself crazy with anticipation of what he might do next.
"I wish we had more time love, I'd dearly love to drag this out for a while longer, but Cornelius and Rory should be here within the hour, and the way Rory drives.." Alexandre slid two fingers into me slowly, massaging me just inside where the extra nerve bundles are that make my body demand something more. I squirmed and cried out, pushing back on his hand while he chuckled lightly, taking his hand away right before I could find release. I whimpered and he shushed me.
"Just a moment more love." He murmured, and I felt the bed depress between my knees. I rocked back and could feel his arousal pressed against the back of my thigh. I squirmed against it and Alexandre sucked in a breath, gripping my hip and digging his fingers into my hair more tightly. I rocked harder, and with a growl, Alexandre thrust into me. I arched my back, unable to make any noise now other tan a strangled gasp. The fingers not wrapped in my hair found their way to my clit and began to gently tug, tease and circle. He moved, snapping his hips against me and the movement sent him deep within, making me moan, then set up a steady restrained pace that drove me mad. I whimpered his name, almost a complaint, driving myself back and clenching around him. He cursed and pulled my back against his chest suddenly, driving himself within me with a frenzy. I cried out and he shoved us towards the headboard so I could hold as his pace became frenzied, beyond human. Another pinch of my clit and his teeth holding my neck gently, not breaking the skin, but the threat there nonetheless, sent me spiraling over the edge. My climax nearly knocked my legs out from under me and Alexandre growled, tugging me down with him, still thrusting away as we toppled. He stiffened and his release was powerful enough to spur another orgasm in me. We lay there on our sides, panting for a while, before either of us recovered enough to speak.
"Are you ok?" Alexandre asked softly, fingers flitting over my torso and hovering over my abdomen for a moment. "I know I got a little rough." His voice sounded anguished, but I laughed.
"We're fine." I responded and he smoothed my hair, hovering slightly over me to look at my face anxiously.
"Are you sure?" He murmured.
"Yup, more than. Is this the rough side you're always so worried about?" I giggled. "Because it's really not that bad." A gleam sparked to life in his eyes.
"Don't issue challenges you can't expect to win Carys." He warned wolfishly. I felt a little trickle of excitement and wiggled beneath him.
