Full Moon Rising : Chapter 8

  Salina looked wide eyed at her captor. Karayan was still intent on his shoes. He had taken her life away, but had given her so much more in return. Could he honestly think she would have changed her mind? She did this to save him and would have done anything to save him, be it death or immortality. It didn't matter.

  "Explain it to me."

  "Explain what?"

  "Everything after I passed out. I was a bit unconcious and I would like to know what the hell happened to me while I was comatose."

  Stifling a chuckle, Karayan streched out at the foot of her bed. He looked her in the eyes and felt his heart melt as the electric green irises bore into what should have been his soul.

  "I slit your throat, almost all of your blood was drained out of your body and into storage containers. I drank the remaining amount and then fed you my blood. The amount was roughly equivalent to what was spilled. It isn't an exact science. Once you stopped dying, I carried you upstairs, washed the blood off you and laid you down to sleep. And here we are."

  "I have a question."

  "Shoot."

  "If I'm the last of my bloodline, and my blood will only last so long, won't both current races die out anyway?"

  A blush slowly crept over Karayan's creamy skin, "Ah, well you see, thats the other part of the transformation. The part that doesn't take place in public."

  "You can't be serious! We have to... you and I are going to... you know... do... it?"

  "I'm sorry. I know I'm such a vile and disgusting creature that the thought of being with me repulses you but it has to be done. Afterwards, you can pick whoever you like as a mate."

  "But won't our daughter just choose the vampires because she was raised that way? It will be a girl won't it?"

  "Yes, it will be a girl, and no she won't be biased towards the vampires because we won't be raising her," seeing the look in Salina's eyes he held up his hands, almost in a truce, "We'll locate a relative, preferable one who doesn't know anything about this world. When it come time for her to choose, the pack leader will kidnap her much the same as I did to you. Then you'll be able to go and speak with them, not without me though."

  "But of course," Salina spoke through gritted teeth, "When do we have to... ugh. When do we have to have sex?"

  "Tonight, while the moon is still full."

  "And you didn't think to give me a bit of a heads up? Why the fuck does it have to be so soon?"

  "Because. The small amount of human blood left in you is what's needed to become pregnant. By the time the next full moon rolled around, the vampire blood would have completely overtaken your system. And like I said, I though it would go smoother if you knew as little as possible."

  "Get out. Right now."

  Shamefully, Karayan slunk towards the hidden door. He slipped away, but didn't close the door behind him. There was no reason to keep her locked in anymore. As soon as he was gone, Salina wrapped the sheet around her pale body and stumbled down the hallway to what she hoped was the bathroom. Halfway down the corridor, a wave of dizziness overcame her and just as she began to slide down the wall, Karayan's strong arms wrapped themselves around her, supporting her against his well defined abdomen.

  His mouth was buried in her hair, nestled right up against her ear, "Where are you going?"

  Her knees went weak and she muttered something incoherant about a bathroom. He simply chuckled, knowing where she was headed, and guided her by the elbow to the bathroom. This time, there wasn't a bathtub, just a large shower stall. She braced herself by putting her hands on his shoulders as he slowly unraveled the sheet from around her pale, beautiful body. He turned away without looking at her, a fleeting glance excepted. Turning the water on at a comfortable temperature, he helped her into the shower where she immediately closed the curtain. He shook his head and stripped his shirt off. He had just unzipped his pants, already rid of his shoes and socks, when Salina's head peaked out of the shower.

  "Just what do you think you're doing?"

  "Taking my clothes off. It sort of defeats the point of showering if you're not naked."

  "Oh."

  He knew she was hesitant, but he only had 18 hours to get her used to the thought of him. Her comfort was incredibly important to him, and while he knew she would get pregnant tonight without fail, it was equally important she enjoy herself and not regret anything. So, in order for that to happen he had to gradually get her used to the idea. This was the first step. He moved swiftly into the warm stream of water and closed the shower curtain around them. He covered his eyes and turned to face Salina.

  "Turn around."

  "What?"

  "Turn around. I'm only keeping my eyes covered for a minute so unless you want me to see EVERYTHING, I suggest you face the wall."

  He took another moment and then slowly peaked between his fingers. She had turned around and obviously had crossed her arms in an attempt to cover anything possible. He took a step towards her and slowly drew his finger across her slippery skin, from the base of her neck to the curve of her back. Stepping forward slid his hands from her waist even lower, cupping gently. He tried to keep minimal contact, the further they could progress in one session, the better. She had tensed at the movement of his hands but relaxed as he moved them to her shoulders and guided her back into the water, slowly massaging shampoo and conditioner into her hair. She was so relaxed, her arms dropped to her sides and she leaned into him. The feeling of his stomach against her back shocked her into reality and she tried to move away. Quickly, Karayan wrapped himself around her and whispered gently that it was ok, that nothing was going to happen, that she was safe.

  Salina stopped flailing and let him rinse her hair, although she did give a start when he began rubbing the bar of soap across her shoulders, down her back, down her legs, but when he commanded her to turn around her muscles went rigid.

  "Come on. Its ok. I promise," Karayan was massaging her calves slowly allowing his fingers to stray further up than necessary. She was all too aware that he was on his knees. Slowly, Salina turned around and closed her eyes tight. It was all Karayan could do to not rapidly draw in a breath. She was gorgeous. The way her milky white skin curved in all the right ways was the most apetizing thing he'd bore witness to in a while. Swiftly he coated her front in soap, not wanting to push it. But as he was rinsing her off, his fingers lingered slightly too long on her nipples and she pushed him away, grabbing a towel and rushing out of the bathroom towards her quarters. Sighing he pulled a towel around his waist, gathered his things, and went towards his own room.

  When Salina arrived in her room she found a floor length dress made of silk drapped across her bed. It was deep red in color and she fell in love with it the moment she saw it. She slipped into the dress and looked in the mirror. Her hair fell in heavy ringlets and her bright green eyes were even more vibrant that usual. She walked out of her room and down the stairs. The smell of dinner made her walk towards the dinning room only to find the table set for a romantic dinner, Karayan standing behind what she presumed to be her chair. One look and she raced out the room, and out the door.

  "Damn it." He sighed and went after her. She wasn't hard to find. She was sitting on a stone bench in the garden and he sat down next to her, elbows on knees, hands together in his lap. Glancing over at her he spoke, "I know you don't like this. I feel horrible that I can't just tell you to take your time because we dont have much time. I wish things were different Salina I really really do."

  When he looked over at her he could easily see that her eyes were briming with tears. Gathering her in his arms, she sobbed lightly for a few moments as he rubbed her back soothingly. She sniffled once or twice before pulling away from him. He thought they were progressing ok but when she pulled back, all hope was lost. Or so he thought. Soon after, still looking down, Salina pressed her soft, red lips against his. Karayan thought his heart would melt. She was trying so hard. He pulled her back into his arms and gradually increased the tempo of their kiss. Soon she gripped his hand and slowly slid it up her flat stomach and allowed his hand to cup around her breast. Karayan was astonished at the bold move, but he slowly kneaded her as she shook slightly from the cold. He slid his hand back to Salina's waist and pulled back slightly. He smiled and nodded back towards the door. She tilted her head in aknowledgement and followed inside to the dinner table. He rubbed her leg lightly as they ate in silence. When all the plates had been cleared away, she looked at him, questioning as to the next move. He stood up and scooped her into his arms, carrying her towards his room. He laid her softly on his bed and pulled his jacket and tie off, kicking away his shoes. He climbed on top of her sitting on her pelvis and began kissing her as he pinned her arms above her head. Salina seemed to understand and kept her limbs where he positioned them. He slowly slid her dress up to her waist where they both realized she didn't have any panties on. She looked away in embarassment and he peered even closer out of interest. His long, elegant finger started in the crook of her knee and slowly wandered to her outer lips. She moaned quietly as he slowly circled her entrance. She wasn't very aroused and he refused to her hurt her more than necessary. Gradually she moaned more and he slid a finger inside her. Immediately, Salina's body clenched around his finger. Karayan realized that she was going to be in paid no matter what, her body was simply too tight. But he remained determined to keep her as comfortable as possible. He kept wiggling his finger in further. When he pulled it out and began to insert the didget again, he felt the barrier of her hymen and smiled knowing he would be her first. She had lost all lubrication and he lowered his mouth. When she felt the warm breath on the curls of her abdomen, Salina sat upright.

  "What are you doing?"

  "Shh, I have to get you lubricated so it wont hurt as much. Lay back down Salina. I promise, everything will be ok. You'll know when I start to take things futher. Just relax and enjoy."

  Reluctantly she did as he asked but she jolted as soon as his lips wrapped around her clitoris. She felt the tip of his devilish tounge flick under the hood. She could feel herself get wetter and so could he. Gradually he slipped one finger, then two into her, working them slowly building her to a burning fire. She moaned and he stopped.

  Salina opened her eyes, wondering why the wonderful sensations had stoped. She looked just in time to see Karayan's erection as he pulled his remaining clothes off. She snapped her legs shut as she realized he was close to three times bigger than his fingers, and that had been a tight fit. He knew she would get nervous, but he laid down next to her and slowly pried her legs apart, using his tounge and fingers to build her back up. When she gripped his back, he knew it was now or never. Slowly he drug himself up on top of her body, allowing her to feel every inch of him slide across her. She looked away from his gaze, only to have him pull her face back and kiss her deeply. She could taste herself on his breath and while she knew she should be repulsed, she wasn't. Gradually, looking her in the eyes as a way to gauge her pain, he inserted himself inside her. He felt the tear and the look on her face was horrible. He ceased movement and kissed her on the lips, on the cheeks, on the forehead. Whe the tears stopped he began moving again. She was in pain, but was taking it like a soldier. All Salina did was grimace every now and then. He was proud of her. Eventually the pain subsided and she began to feel preasure building low in her stomach. He felt the beginings of her orgasim as she clenched around him. Karayan kept the same pace he was using, slow but steady, and brought her to a full climax just as he released inside her. A look of peace passed over her face. He kissed her and moved to get up, but Salina grabbed his wrist.

  "Where are you going?"

  "I though you'd want to be alone."

  "The hell I do," whispered Salina, eyes closed, "get back in bed."

  Karayan did as she asked and she snuggled against him, his arms wrapped firmly around her. Just as she was falling asleep she heard him whisper, "I love you, my Queen."

  "I love you too. Don't leave, ok?"

  "I won't. I promise. I'll never leave you. Soul mates are forever."

  And with that the vampires fell asleep, blood, and souls, merged as one forever.
