Bad Boy Romance: Bad Marine (Bad Boy Military Romance) (Alpha Bad Boy New Adult Contemporary Male Stories) (25 page)

              As the smell of breakfast faded, Sheryl and David lingered at the table.  Though they both understood the task they had assigned themselves, they both found themselves apprehensive as well.  The last time they had entered this room was to pack it up.  There was a point when Sheryl was ready to give up, and she vowed not to enter again until she was sure that they were having a baby.  They had gotten pregnant once before, and in the excitement started filling the nursery and readying themselves for the long-awaited arrival.  When the baby was lost, the pain was almost unbearable.

              As they got up and left the table to head down the hall, Sheryl fully expected to feel apprehensive.  Instead, she was surprised to find herself relieved to finally be opening it up again.  She glanced at David as they reached the door, and realized that he seemed to have the same look on his face that she did.  As she opened the door it was as if a weight was lifted.

              “Do you feel that?” he asked.

              “Yes, I do,” she answered, “Do you think the energy is already taking effect or we are just that in tune today?”

              “I don’t know,” answered David, “but I’m taking it as a good sign.  Now let’s get this crib back unpacked and set up before you can no longer help me,” he teased, “I don’t want to be stuck setting all of this up alone again.”

              Cadence awoke at sun down to find herself beside Elvin still snoring.  She remembered the first time she had heard him snore, and how she had laughed at the thought of a vampire snoring.  She laughed now at that memory, rousing Elvin from his apparent deep sleep.

              “What, my dear, is so funny?” he asked.

              “Oh, just you,” she answered.  “It’s been years since I got to laugh at you.”

              “I’m glad to be of service,” he grinned.

              For a moment, in half awoken state, they simply existed with each other, forgetting the troubles of life and the task that lay ahead.  Cadence snuggled deep into Elvin’s arms relishing it.  She was not able to stave off her fears for long though, and was finally forced to acknowledge what the day held.

              “What will it feel like to die like that?” she asked.  This was the first time that she had allowed herself to think this thought, and it almost surprised her when she spoke it aloud.

              “I’ve seen it once,” he answered honestly.  “A great friend of mine long ago decided to give up his immortality.  I helped him search for years to find the one that had transformed him- I’m sure you know how hard that can be with the elusiveness of a vampire.  We finally found him, and he was granted his request.  It was not painful, and I was with him on the day he died.  It was almost peaceful, as I hope it is for you.”

              “I hope so, too,” she murmured.  “Well, it’s time.  I will return a mortal once I am done.”  She turned to him to kiss him passionately before she left the cave.

Sheryl and David were once again nervous and excited.  This whole situation was a lot to wrap their heads around, and they both wondered how long it would take to actually do so.  They had spent the day trying to prepare themselves to accept that they would finally get to be parents, and now were as ready as they could be to make it happen.  This added to the sexual tension that would ultimately only rise left both of them with feelings of pins and needles.  As they parked the vehicle, they saw Cadence walking towards them out of the darkness.

“First, we hike,” she said, smiling at them.

“Lead the way, m’lady,” David joked, trying to relieve his own nervousness with a laugh.  They walked in silence, each with their own heavy thoughts to grapple with.

As the spring came into view, David and Sheryl could almost feel that is was the place.  There was a distinct clearing that let in the light of the enormously full moon.  The spring reflected it beautifully, looking almost as if the moon were held inside the spring itself.

As they approached, Sheryl instinctively began to undress and wade into the pond.  Cadence and David followed, with all of the solemnity that a ritual might require.

“Don’t forget that this is about fun, too,” Cadence said with a grin as she tried to lighten the mood.  Sheryl relaxed and David’s body began to visibly respond to what lay before him.

Cadence approached Sheryl slowly, and then ran her fingers down her chest and stomach softly.  “Oh, that I might help plant a seed there,” she mused.  Sheryl lifted to kiss her.  They locked lips briefly, and then Sheryl pulled away.

“Bite me,” she said.  Up until this point, hunger had not been on Cadence’s mind.  She could go days without eating.  At Sheryl’s request though, she realized that this would be the absolute last time she would get to feed as a vampire.  She hungrily obliged.

As she latched on to Sheryl’s neck, Sheryl let out an audible moan of pleasure and pain.  Cadence had never willingly kept a host awake, and found herself extremely aroused at this prospect.  why had she never tried this before?

As she drank, David moved closer, caressing her body as she took from his wife.  The display had him fully erect and obviously longing to be touched himself.  With all the patience, he quietly stroked himself as his wife moaned and gasped.

Cadence slowly trailed her fingers down Sheryl’s body to her vagina, to explore the reaction she was getting.  Sheryl seemed to be at peak arousal, and Cadence indulged her by massaging her slowly.  Almost too caught up, she realized that she was getting to the point where she was full, and could take no more from Sheryl without causing harm.  She pulled away from Sheryl’s neck, even as Sheryl moaned for more.

“Now suck him then,” she moaned.  Let me just lay here.  As Cadence moved towards David, he lounged in the pool opposite his wife.  Cadence had not had a cock in her mouth in a while, and at first fumbled clumsily with it.  After a moment, she developed a rhythm, and David moaned in gratitude.  With her free hands, Cadence kept Sheryl at the ready, teasing and rubbing her clit as she moaned.

“Let your teeth out,” David requested, “I want to feel them gently run along my hard cock just once.”  Cadence obliged.  Surprised at the sexuality she was discovering in her own state as a vampire, she was very thankful for the opportunity to be with these two before she would give up the state forever.

Realizing that he couldn’t hold back much longer, David proclaimed that he was about to come.  Cadence shoved his whole cock in her mouth to allow him to do just that.  She was eager to return to Sheryl, and give her what she knew the longing for all too well.  As David came, Cadence held him still to catch every last bit of his seed.

She bent to Sheryl’s open, waiting pussy, and shoved her tongue in.  At that moment, a sensation washed over her that she had only felt once before.  As she gave up her immortality, the orgasmic feeling of transformation washed over, much as it had when Elvin first transformed her.

At that moment, Sheryl erupted, arching and moaning in ecstasy.  It was almost as if this energy was being transferred directly from cadence into her via her vagina.  As Cadence finished and the feeling subsided, she knew intuitively that it had worked, and that she was no longer immortal.

Realizing what they had just done, the three of them sat quietly in each other’s arms, quietly contemplating the creation they had just witnessed.  The moonlight was now fading as the moon’s crest began to be blocked by the trees surrounding the clearance.  In the darkness, Sheryl let out a tearful ‘thank you’, acknowledging Cadence and David both.

“Now what?” he asked.

“Now you live your life.  Take the blessed gift of fertility and be happy.”

“And what about you?  How do we thank you?” Sheryl asked.

“Just cherish the gift,” she answered, “that is all I ask.”

At this she lifted herself from the spring.

“Are you leaving?” David asked.

“Yes, I must move on,” Cadence answered, “Please understand.”

“If you must,” said Sheryl, clearly pained, “but I am forever indebted to you.”

“No, you are not,” said Cadence, “all bets are off, and all prices are paid in full.  I am glad to have met you guys, and to have the opportunity to help you create life.”  With that, she walked off into the darkness.

              The air felt heavy as she entered into the cave.  She had made a promise to herself not to grieve the price she had chosen to pay, but could not force Elvin to adhere to the same request.  Before her eyes could adjust, she was engulfed in his arms.

“Oh Cadence,” he said, “you have done it; I can sense it.”

              “Please do not be upset, Elvin.  I made this decision on my own.  I was aware of the consequences and the price to be paid, and I made the decision fully informed.  I feel that I made this decision with far more logic than I ever used to decide to become immortal.  I know that I cannot force you to not be sad for me or grieve me when I go, but I want you to know that for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have no regrets.”

              “Cadence…” he started.

              “In fact, take a moment to look at the bright side,” she joked.  “Do you remember when you fed from me?  Do you remember how delicious you said I tasted?  I can offer myself to you again as a host, and you can take from me as you will.  Only his time, I want to be awake for it to see how it feels.”  She smiled at him ironically.

              “Cadence,” Elvin began again, pulling her close this time.  He was overtaken by the feeling of her heartbeat again after all of these years.  He saw the gleam in her eye as she joked about him biting her.  He grabbed her firmly and pressed her against him, with her head on his chest.  Cadence pushed back at once, with alarm in her face.

              “Elvin!” she exclaimed, then sat speechless, mouth agape and staring at him.  He grinned at her surprise, which was exactly the response he wanted.

              “Did you think you had the power to create life yourself?  It takes two vampires, just as it takes two humans.  While you hiked down the mountain, I prepared the spring, performing my own ritual and lending my own life force to the spring of conception.  I joined with you to create this life, and I will join you in mortality.  Now come, spend forever with me, even if it is only nine more months.”

              “I would want nothing more, Elvin,” Cadence answered through her tears.  She buried her head into his chest, only to listen to the sound of his now beating heart.

The forests were harsh and dark and Julienne had been running for what seemed like hours. She had long ago left the roads and any semblance of civilization behind, and as she ran, she realized that she was leaving the ground behind as well. A great chasm opened up before her and she had to stop running and hope that her pursuers were left far behind. For the first time since she had started, she collapsed and alternated between deep breaths and heaving sobs. The life she had led for so long had been taken away from her in an instant, and now she was left with nothing but the clothes she was wearing. As she examined herself and saw that the forest had done its best to take that away from her, too, and her dress was torn almost to shreds. Then she heard them coming, their shouts and jeers, and she looked at the chasm and weighed her options.

"She went this way," she heard, a man's angry voice. "We can get her and take care of this and be home in time for dinner."

"Not the way I plan on doing it," said another voice. "She was a pretty little thing. Me and a few of the boys think it would be terrible for it to go waste."

"Whatever you want," said the first voice. "I won't tell."

Julienne felt a righteous anger rise up within her. She had begun this flight because those very same men who were chasing her had accused her of dark and dangerous things, and now they were going to perpetuate those very same foul deeds upon her? All of her weariness vanished and she searched for something with which to defend herself. She found a rock, sharp and pointed like a tooth, and prepared to take down as many of them as she could before she went down herself. They came through the tree line, half a dozen men of various ages, all holding implements of violence. Their leader, and older man whose hair was either gone or graying, leveled his weapon at her.

"All right, girlie, you can either make this easy or hard," said the man. "It doesn't matter much to me which you go with, you're not getting out of this alive."

"We'd prefer hard," said the second man. "It'll give us more of a reason."

"Fuck this. I didn't come her to talk," said one of the younger men. He ran forward, and Julienne sliced his face open with the stone. He screamed and clutched the bleeding wound. Julienne kicked him in the leg and felled him, and she stood against the edge of the chasm.

"If you think you've got the courage to come after me, then do so," she said, holding the now reddened stone. "I'm not going to back down and I'm not going to let any of you so much as touch me."

"You don't have much of a choice," said the second man. He came forward carefully, and Julienne waved the stone at him purposefully. He came at her and she instinctively shifted her weight to stabilize her stance, forgetting that there was no solid ground behind her. She slipped and fell, tumbling into the chasm, her descent slowed by branches and the chasm's natural incline. She felt her dress get torn off as she slid, finally rolling to a stop at the chasm's bottom. She faintly heard one of the men say something about following her down, to make sure that she was dead and take advantage of the warmness of her body, and so Julienne continued to fight. She propped herself up on her shoulders, sure that she had broken something, and tried to get as far away as she could. She was in agonizing pain, but that would be nothing compared to letting those monsters get ahold of her. She continued crawling, feeling the rough ground scraping her bare belly, using the sharp stone to help her gain some traction against the ground. She knew that she hadn't made it nearly far enough when she heard footsteps not far behind her.

"There she is," said one of the younger men. "Looks like she's ready for us."

"Good," said the second man. "I like a woman who knows her place."

Julienne slumped to the ground, but refused to give up. When the man came close, she turned on him, slicing his thigh open with the stone. She sneered, having missed her true target. The man was angry for a moment, but then he grinned. They both knew the outcome of this, and they both knew he had the upper hand. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the men's leader turn away. If he didn't see it, then it didn't happen, and he had no reason to care about her. As she felt the man's hand close around her arm and she closed her eyes to try to block out what was about to happen, she heard more footsteps coming from behind her. She opened her eyes and saw two people. One was a beautiful young man and the other a stunning young woman. Both had seemingly come out of nowhere, and both were dressed far more extravagantly than she had ever seen. They were both smiling, as well, though she could see some darkness behind their eyes that seemed far older than their visage would suggest.

"It would appear that we've got some visitors, Cecilia," said the young man. "Don't they know that trespassing is against the law?"

"You know their kind doesn't care about the law, James," scoffed the young woman. "Not unless it suits them. What's going on here? Why is that girl naked?"

The men's leader had turned back around, and he addressed the newcomers. "Lord and lady, this doesn't concern you. This woman has been accused of dire crimes and we've come to exact justice."

James asked, "Has she stood trial?"

"She don't have to," said one of the mob. "We all know she's done it, and now we're going to make sure she gets punished."

Cecilia laughed. It was light but harsh, like an early winter's hail. "It's fitting that you think putting your manhood into a woman punishes her."

James drew a sword that Julienne swore hadn't been there moments before. "We'll give you to the count of five to leave the girl and leave this place."

The second man let go of Julienne's arm and he sneered. "Then what? You're going to fight all of us?"

"Yes," said James. "We will."

"Fat chance of that," said the man, and he moved to attack James. Suddenly, the sword was through the man, having moved quicker than Julienne had thought possible. James removed the blade and the man slumped to the ground,

The young man grinned. "Well? Anyone else care to give it a try?"

The men's leader turned and walked away, saying, "I want no part of this anymore."

"What's wrong? Chasing down a defenseless girl is fine, but when someone tries to fight back, you turn tail? Cowards," said Cecilia. She grinned evilly and said, "James, take our new pet back home. I'll take care of these."

James sheathed his sword slowly, in a way that made Julienne shiver, and he removed his cloak and draped it over her. He then picked her up easily and walked away, leaving Cecilia with the men. Julienne looked up at him. "Will she be all right?"

"Hush," said James, as they walked away. "She'll be fine."

Julienne looked past James to where Cecilia stood, unarmed against four men, and she hoped that he was right.

Once she was sure James and the girl were out of sight, Cecilia turned to the quartet of amorous young men. She smiled, her teeth far more sharp than a human's should be, and beckoned to the young men. She was wearing a men's finery, never liking the feel of a dress, and she was making sure it was tight enough to show every curve of her body. This was easy to do, and she knew that the men were looking at her assets rather than her hands. Unlike James, who for some reason preferred to perform his violence with a blade, she preferred the visceral feeling of an opponent's body around her hands.

"If you want me, come and get me," she said. "I'm getting all hot and bothered waiting for you."

One man, whose face had been sliced open, ran off at that point. Three against one, then. One of the other young men, a dumb-looking dark-haired fellow, stepped forward, unsure of what he should do. One hand was on his belt buckle and other on a weapon. He had clearly never done anything like this before, and for a split second, Cecilia thought about granting him some measure of mercy. Then she remembered that he had intended to chase down and ravish a young woman, and her hands were inside of him. She tore him apart easily, and she felt the other two young men grab her shoulders and her attempt to grab her legs. She grinned when she did this, and she let herself go.

The young men never really knew what was happening.

They had been walking for a long time, thought Julienne, but she was also in a daze. The events of the morning were hitting her hard, and she was also going into mild shock over some very bruised bones. It was a miracle that nothing was broken. She was still clutching the sharp stone, and it brought her some comfort. The more she thought about it, the more she wasn't sure she trusted James, but the sharp stone would help her if things went sour.

"I think that's a dragon's tooth," said James. He had been humming tunelessly for most of the walk.

"There were never any dragons around here," said Julienne.

James grinned. He had far too many teeth. "You'd be surprised." Suddenly, Julienne felt very afraid. She tried to squirm out of James's grasp but he pulled her close and made comforting noises. "It's all right. We're not going to hurt you. We're almost back to where Cecilia and I are staying. It's not much, but it's fine for our purposes. You'll have to forgive us. We're not really one for giving aid but those men really raised our ire."

They reached the cave and James laid her gently on a pile of furs. There was nothing around them that had any veneer of civilization. Julienne, in an effort to leave quickly, said, "I think I'll be fine by morning."

"No doubt, but where will you go? We'll let you leave once you figure that out," said James. He smiled again. This time, his teeth seemed to be normal. "Maybe you won't want to leave. I suppose we should get you some new clothes, though."

Before Julienne could answer, Cecilia appeared in the cave's mouth. Her clothing was in tatters, she was covered in blood, and she was grinning. She ran over to James, pulled him close, and kissed him deeply. He leaned into it, and Julienne watched with some trepidation. Cecilia moved one of James's hands to her breast and the other between her legs. She started moaning and he moved his mouth to the nape of her neck. Julienne heard sucking noises. James moved his hands, taking off Cecilia's shirt so quickly that it might have never been there at all, and he moved his mouth to her nipple. Julienne could see the bulge in James's pants, and she blushed but was unable to turn away. Before James could go any further, Cecilia pushed him down and looked straight at Julienne. She took off James's shirt and then his pants, and she moved her mouth down to his stiff manhood. He moaned, panting as Cecilia worked her way up and down the shaft, her eyes always on Julienne, and then James seemed to shift and shimmer and in his place was a small dragon. Julienne opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. The dragon forced Cecilia away and bent her over, mounting her, and then she, too, shifted and shimmered. With each thrust, the wings of the dragons jostled and moved and then the pair took to the air and were out of the cave in an instant. Julienne knew she could take this moment to escape, but where could she escape? Instead, she crawled to the cave's mouth and looked to the sky. The dragons were twirling, shooting brilliant flames as they joined, and then the flames went white and the dragons descended and shifted and shimmered back into their human forms. James was fully clothed, flushed, and looking endearingly awkward. Cecilia chose to remain naked, and she walked towards Julienne.

She asked, "Did you enjoy that, little girl?"

Julienne couldn't answer, and became very aware that her nipples had hardened and her womanhood had moistened. She blushed and said, "Yes. I didn't realize you were dragons."

"Young dragons," said James. "Still far older than any human, but still young. Cecilia, put some clothing on. You're going to intimidate our guest."

"It's nothing she hasn't seen," said Cecilia. "Maybe a bit better than what she's got, but she's nothing to be ashamed about. I know you've noticed." James blushed, and so did Julienne, and Cecilia made a retching noise. "You two might as well get it over with. We'll all feel better after."

"It wouldn't be right," said James. "She just suffered through an attack. What kind of man would I be if I tried to bed her now?"

"You're not a man, you're a dragon." Cecilia scoffed and cupped Julienne's breast in her hand. "Look at this. Young and pert. She'll be withered and gone by the next time we molt." She licked Julienne's nipple, causing her to shudder. "You like that, don't you?"

"Please stop," said Julienne.

Cecilia took Julienne's hand and moved it downward, into Julienne's own lap. "I know you want to feel it, the exhilaration of it. Why not give in?"

James grabbed Cecilia by the shoulder and pulled her away. "That's enough! She doesn't want to do it, don't make her. You'd be no better than those men."

"You're right, as usual," said Cecilia, suddenly fully clothed. She looked to Julienne and said, "A word of advice, girl. Dragons may covet, but they're also capricious. In simpler terms, we take what we want until we're bored with it. Now then, I'll go get her some clothing. You can stay here and have some fun with your little pet."

Before anyone could reply, Cecilia took to the air. It was a beautiful sight. James draped a skin over Julienne and smiled. "I'm sorry. Cecilia and I have been together for a long time. She gets protective sometimes, and it's difficult to resist her. We have glamour, you see. It's part of how we're able to shift our shapes."

"I could feel it, while you and her were, uh," stammered Julienne. She blushed again.
