Passion After Dark (22 page)

Fabian gave a small bow to us and I watched him lea
ve before rushing to Cassie. She was in some kind of trance like state. “God what has he done to her Dominick? Is she going to be ok? Can I take her home now, will she be alright? Is she going to snap out of this?”

“
She’s alright cara. She will come out of this with no memory of this evening. Fabian will have given her a memory but we won’t know what that is unless she says something to you. We will take her home now and put her to bed. She will wake with no memory of what Fabian did to her and see, she has blood at the corner of her mouth?” I nodded. “He’s made her take his blood so her body will bear no memory from this evening. She will have no pain, bruising, nothing to make her question what she did this evening. Come cara, we will take her home now.”

The drive back to my home was a tense one. I didn
’t speak to Dominick, I had nothing to say to him. Any doubts I’d had that walking away was a mistake were gone after seeing what Fabian had done to Cassie. He had used and abused her then robbed her of any memory of what he’d done to her. Maybe that was a good thing for her. She was spared any pain, or embarrassment, even humiliation but it made me sick that Fabian could treat her the way I’d seen him treat her then discard her as if she was nothing.

When we pulled up in my driveway, we both helped get Cassie out of the car and inside. Dominick carried her upstairs and I got him to hold her while I changed her into her shorts and t-shirt that I knew she wore to bed.

I thought she would smell of sex at least as Fabian wouldn’t be able to make that go away but when I asked Dominick he said that his sire would have cleaned her down well to cover all evidence of his having been in her.

His words just made me feel even more repulsed by the whole vampire
scene. Their lifestyle was so alien to me and as I stared at the stunning man helping me get my house mate ready for bed, I had to wonder how he could appear almost normal, so sexy, so beautiful but have that side to him, live that lifestyle that was so foreign to me.

When we finally had Cassie in her bed and she thankfully had fallen asleep, Dominick and I made our way back downstairs. He didn
’t bother trying to stay, he didn’t even say anything, he simply walked straight to the front door before turning to me.

“
Ti amo cara.” He whispered and I stared up into those intense, amazing eyes of his and unable to help myself, I stepped towards him, his arms came around me and our lips met, our tongues tangled and dueled with one another as the sudden burst of passion exploded between us.

I felt my dress being pushed up to my waist, my panties ripped when he tugged them free and my heart began to pound hard in my chest when I heard the sound of his zip.

I was lifted into his arms and my back slammed against the wall, my arms circled his neck and my legs locked around his hips, just before he lunged and I felt his cock plunge inside me, slipping in freely with the assistance of our combined juices from our earlier love making.

We both groaned and Dominick stille
d inside me for a moment while he gave my body time to adjust to his size and finally he began to move, thrusting into me, his lips against my neck, kissing me, licking me until I felt his fangs descend and he bit down on me, sucking my blood as he drove into me.

I cried out, my first orgasm coursing through me and a few moments later I felt Dominick explode and pump his release into me. He didn
’t stop though, he kept thrusting as he pulled back from my neck and suddenly bit into his wrist and held his bleeding arm to me where I closed my lips over the wound and sucked on him, savouring the sweetness of his blood while we fucked.

Finally he pulled his wrist from my mouth and his hips started to move faster and faster until I screamed, my scream immediately
muffled when Dominick closed his lips over mine to silence me and as I rode out the rest of my climax, he bucked up hard and I heard his guttural growl and felt him reach his own release again.

He pulled out of me and I slid down the wall without his arm
s to support me and watched as he pulled his jeans up and zipped his fly, his eyes never leaving mine.

He stared at me for what felt like a life time, a look of sorrow and what also looked like despair on his face until finally he whispered. “
Ti amo cara. Ti amero per sempre.” And then he turned and walked out the door, closing it quietly behind him.

When I heard the door open on his car and heard the engine roar as he started it then backed out of my driveway, only when I heard the sound of the engine fa
ding as he drove away did I finally give in to the tears that hung from my lashes waiting to fall.

Chapter Fourteen.

Dominick.

As Dominick drove, every minute, every second took him further and further away from the woman he loved. He felt pain ravage his body, pain unlike anything he’d ever experienced since becoming vampire.

Tears burned his eyes and he wiped them away angrily. Vampires didn
’t cry and he could hear Francesca’s voice telling him to stop being such a wuss.

Fuck Fran and fuck Fabian. Thi
s was all Fabian’s fault. He’d had to push it and use Allegra’s house mate for the night and discard her when he’d had enough. Why couldn’t his sire have just put his own desires on hold for one fucking night?

The look on Allegra
’s face when she’d seen her friend suspended on her back and Fabian fucking her was something he wasn’t going to forget for quite a while. Why the hell did he think inviting his sire around was going to give him a chance to demonstrate they weren’t so bad? Fuck but that had been a complete disaster.

Of course the worst thing for him was the expression on Allegra
’s face when she’d made love to him on his bed but their last fuck in her hallway, the famous hallway that Cassie had teased them about, when he’d been doing up his fly and he’d looked down at her, her face had said it all, it was over, she was telling him goodbye with her eyes, although she had never voiced that final good bye. Still he knew, he knew it was over.

When he pulled up in his driveway he mounted the stairs to his
house feeling like an old man. His body ached from the effort it was taking to not give into his emotions and when he let himself into his home seeing Francesca sitting on his lounge didn’t do much to improve his mood.

“
Didn’t you go home earlier?” He asked her.

“
No Nicky, I thought it would be more fun to hang around here and see if you came home all weeping and wailing now your human doesn’t want you anymore.”

“
How do you know about Allegra and I Fran?” He sighed, dropping onto the lounge, too miserable to let her goad him into arguing with her.

“
Oh Nicky, Nicky, is that the best you can come up with? Stop looking so miserable. You’re better off without her anyway. She couldn’t handle our lifestyle and she was going to turn you into her little puppy. She wanted you to change and be something you’re not, to suit her. We are what we are and if others can’t accept that, then fuck them.”

“
Fuck you Fran, why can’t you just piss off now. Go home and leave me the fuck alone.” He snapped.

She stood up and walk
ed over to him where he sat on the opposite lounge to her and she kneeled by his feet. “Oh Nicky, let me make you feel better. I’ll give you a nice blow job. That always cheers you up.” She pulled at the button on his jeans and unzipped him.

He watched he
r, knowing he should move, but unable to do so. He wasn’t even thinking about what Fran was doing to him and it was her sound of disgust when she pulled his soft cock out of his jeans and frowned at it then him that finally drew his attention.

“
Fuck brother dear but you reek of her, I can smell her cunt on you and this.” She held him between thumb and finger like she was touching something unpleasant. “This is pathetic Nicky. How am I supposed to work with this.”

“
Don’t you get it Fran? I don’t want you. I have no interest in you, I don’t want you touching me and I sure as fuck don’t get turned on by you as you can see.”

“
Is this what she’s turned you into Nicky? This pathetic limp dick now? You are nothing because of her. Just a shadow of your former self. How could you be so weak to allow a human female to rob you of your balls like this?”

“
Just get off me and go home Fran. This evening has not gone quite the way I’d expected and I’d prefer to be on my own now.”

They both turned when they heard a knock at
the door and Fran jumped up. “I’ll get it, you put that thing away.” She pointed to his cock and he glared at her while he tidied himself up.

When Fran came back with Fabian, Dominick just wanted to get up and hit his sire. He wanted to tear his throat out
and scream at him for what he’d done but no one did that to Fabian and got away with it. He’d be punished if he so much as laid a finger on his sire.

“
Fabian, is there a reason you’ve been in my home more than once this evening?” He asked, trying to keep his tone civil.

“
I came to see how you were my son. It was obvious that your time with Allegra was over and that you would not be seeing her anymore. I could see that from her expression when she walked in on myself and her friend. Most unfortunate that but the girl was very open to being fucked and I have to ask you, would you be able to say no to a woman who is making it extremely obvious that she is ready for you to bed her?”

Dominick ground his teeth together as he struggled to keep his fangs retract
ed. Fabian was trying to antagonize him that was clear but then Fabian got off on doing that. “You did it deliberately Fabian. You wanted her to see you with Cassandra, didn’t you? Why? Just tell me why, please?”

Fabian threw his head back and laughed. “
I would have thought that was obvious my son. You were letting that woman rule you too much. She was turning you into a puppy. I was about to buy you a collar and lead so she could at least take you out for walks or something.”

Dominick snickered. “
You’re trying to tell me you did this for my own good? I don’t believe you.”

“
Well I didn’t say that my motives were entirely selfless Nick. You see I wanted you and her to be parted from one another so I can claim her for myself.”

At his words, Dominick rose from
his seat, anger surging through him and unable to control himself, his fangs descended and he growled at Fabian.

Fabian leapt to his feet, his fangs dropping too and a menacing look came over his face. “
Think long and hard son about what you do from this moment on because your future depends on it.”

Dominick sprang forward, leaping into the air, arms out, mouth open, his fangs ready to strike, h
is fury driving him to react with all commonsense gone. It was suicidal to launch an attack on Fabian, but the thought of his sire doing to Allegra as he’d done to Cassandra caused a wave of red to cloud his vision.

Of course h
e never even got close to him. With one sweep of his arm and an angry roar, he threw Dominick across the room and sprang, landing over his fallen body. He dropped down and bit into Dominick’s neck, sucking his blood until he’d drained him of nearly everything he’d taken from Allegra earlier that evening.

Dominick
collapsed back on the floor, eyes closed and waited for his fate, whatever Fabian deemed suitable punishment, but nothing happened. He opened his eyes and looked up at his sire but Fabian’s expression held no rage.

“
I will not punish you son although you have definitely shown me a marked lack of respect. I will forgive you on this occasion as I know you are hurting over the loss of your human but I will tell you this.” He leaned in close to Dominick. “Don’t ever...do…that…again. Do that again and I will punish you in such a way that you will regret every single day of your sorry existence.” He stepped back so Dominick could get to his feet. “I’m going now. There’s nothing more to be done here. Fran, I suggest you come with me.” He turned and with a final bow to Dominick, he left with Fran trailing after him.

Once they had gone and he wa
s alone Dominick stood for a moment in the silence of his home, his anger and frustration rising with the situation he was in. Fabian wanted Allegra, he’d done what he’d done, fucking Cassandra to cause trouble and it had worked, Dominick had lost the woman he wanted to spend eternity with and now he had the very real worry that Fabian would make a move on Allegra and claim her for himself. He wouldn’t want her for anything more than sex and he would more than likely do as he’d done with Cassandra, fuck her, wipe her memory and leave her with no knowledge of what he’d done to her.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Everything had so rapidly gone to shit and he couldn
’t control any of it. His eyes fell on a small figurine sitting on a coffee table. He picked it up and in a fit of rage, threw it, watching as it smashed against the wall sending fragments of porcelain scattering out in all directions.

Dominick walked over to the shattered figurine and bent down, picking up a piece with a sava
ge, jagged each to it and his hand closed around it. He tightened his grip, fisting the porcelain until he felt it cutting into him and still he squeezed on it until his blood flowed freely, dripping onto the floor and only then, did he finally release it where it clattered to the polished timber floorboards.

He didn
’t feel the pain of his wounded hand, all he could think about was that he needed to feed. Fabian had drained him of most of what he’d taken from Allegra and now he didn’t have her anymore, she didn’t want him. He would never feed from her again. He knew he should go and feed but he couldn’t bring himself to go out and do so. The pain he felt was too raw yet so although it was still a few hours off the time when he would normally rest, he found himself wearily mounting his stairs until he got to his bedroom where he fell into his bed and slept, his dreams filled with Allegra. 

Allegra.

When I woke the morning after the night my world had fallen apart, I felt like crap. In fact crap probably felt less like crap than I felt. I had done it, I had ended it with Dominick.

Well, I hadn
’t actually said that it was over, but we’d both known, the sex in his home and our last fuck in the hallway was that of two people who knew it was over.

“
I just wish the pain could be over.” I whispered to myself as I rolled over in bed and felt fresh tears burning at the back of my eyes.

How long was this going to go on for? How long did it take to get over a broken heart I wonder? Why couldn
’t he have loved me too? Why couldn’t he have cared enough to keep me from the other vampires? I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t accept his lifestyle. It horrified me.

I think the images of Fabian with Cassandra were going to haunt me forever. The sight of those two fucking, with
my poor house mate strung up by ropes, hanging there completely at the mercy of him as he’d fucked her with total abandon had shocked me.

To stand in that room as my friend had climaxed and then to endure the craziness of Fabian and
Dominick talking through the whole thing and to watch Fabian come and then go back to talking still blew my mind when I thought of it.

Then there was Dominick
’s room or dungeon whatever it was with the bed with the shackles and the cross, the chains and no explanation as to why he had all that.

It had totally freaked me out not because it scared me necessarily but I hated that for a brief moment
it turned me on. It made me wet to be in the same room with a couple who were fucking and much as Fabian had me unsettled around him, he, like the rest of them was a stunningly good looking man but his eyes unnerved me the most with that pale ‘look right through you’ stare. Still, it didn’t stop me from being turned on watching him fucking Cassandra and to see those pale eyes meet mine as he’d come. It was like some silent message had been passed to me in that moment and it scared me and disgusted me that I could be aroused through all of that. Deep inside I was no better than them. I was ruled by basic animal instincts and I was supposed to be the more civilized one of the lot being human.

The ropes, the chains, shackles and cuffs had turned me on and I
’d fought to hide my arousal until I’d seen that Dominick was aroused too and for some reason that had killed my excitement as quickly as a bucket of ice water thrown over me would have.
