Rose Blood (12 page)

They were watching TV together on the fifth evening. Sitting side by side on the sofa.

“Marcus… why don’t we eat together?” The arrangement was rather strange. Her meals were delivered to her in the dining room and he left to go to his room.

“I have an eating phobia… I like to take my meals in my room. I’ll tell you more about it one day”

“Really? How strange. But I saw you eat steak in front of me.” Other than that she’d never seen him eat anything. He did drink in front of her though.

“It comes and goes… I’m in relapse just now.”

“You’re very odd at times Marcus”

“Thank you”

“You’re welcome”

He tickled her a little and pushed her over on the sofa, both of them laughing a little. He couldn’t stop himself from leaning over and giving her a quick kiss. She looked much too cute in those black shorts and pink Hello Kitty t-shirt.

“Oh kissing! – I remember that”

“So do I. Would you like some more?”

“No Marcus… I don’t think it’s a good idea.” That short kiss had whet her appetite for him… she knew exactly what would happen if they kissed again.

“Why not? You seemed to enjoy it before”

“That was then… this is now… ” She was trying to keep focused on Harry, but it was getting difficult to do that, considering…

“Well I’m not going to force you, please yourself…” He got up to leave, none too pleased… she was being very difficult to approach. “If you change your mind, I’ll be lying on my bed waiting for you.”

“’Night then… See you tomorrow.” She sat on her own in front of the TV for another half an hour mulling things over. This was the first time he had touched her and she wanted him like crazy.

Her mind was suffering from inner turmoil. She hadn’t heard anything from Harry at all since she had left his that night. He hadn’t returned her two ‘love you’ texts or the three emails she had sent him. She had tried to call him too but his phone was permanently switched off. She’d even put “Harry call me please” on her Facebook page but as he never bothered with Facebook anyway, he was unlikely to see it or even care if he did apparently. She was feeling more than rejected and incredibly anxious and upset that he couldn’t get in touch once… Not even to say ‘how are you?’ It was as if he’d cut her out of his life, she couldn’t believe he would act this way… She started to think back to what he had said before she had arrived here. He had been quite sure she wasn’t going to come back to him… perhaps this was his way of dealing with it.

Whether her swift change in mind was caused by thinking of Harry’s lack of contact or not she wasn’t sure, but she actually wouldn’t mind more than a kiss with Marcus right now. The thought was very appealing. She made her way to his room and knocked on the door.

“Yes Rose, come in”

“How did you know it was me?” She came in and walked up to his bed, he was reading a flying magazine.

“A pure guess, based on the fact we are the only two in here tonight… so what is it that you want?”

“Is it too late to change my mind?”

“No of course not…  that would make me very happy… come here then.”

“Can we stand up?”

“If you like”

He got up and pulled her to him. He smiled at her… she was so very sexy and too cute tonight. She was burning him up.

“What about a short heated one Marc, but away from your bed a bit more?” She took his hands and led them into the middle of the room, to safer bed free territory, just in case they fell on it straight away. She didn’t want to give up the goods too fast….

“Rose, you called me Marc!… Are we close friends now?” He was feeling very hopeful about this evening, she seemed different suddenly. No prickles at all.

“After this I’m sure we will be,
Marc
” She was feeling more than close friendly just now. He had finally got under her skin. His eyes drew her in somehow and his voice was shouting out loudly in her mind. She was quite into him in fact. His laid back undemanding approach to her had made her feel good about being with him. He was very nice to her too. She was definitely looking forward to a heated kiss with him. He was just too dreamy…

“Want to start us off Rose?”

“Why’s that?”

“I really love the way you do it… ”

“Alright then… don’t faint on me now”

She started the slow and gentle teaser, building up to the hot and harder version… Marcus was joining in, following her lead. Her insides were melting fast… there was definitely heat coming up from somewhere… a lot of heat in fact, most of it from her.

He pulled away for a moment a little breathless, holding her face in his hands.

“We should stop now, I don’t want to rush you…” He looked deep into her eyes… He was trying negative psychology now…. He was absolutely desperate to get his hands on her… it was all getting to be too much.

“What’ll happen if we don’t?”

“Something else”

“Will I like it?”

“You should do, but I’m not completely sure”

“Let’s see then”

“Are you ready for this, really?”

“I think so… only one way to find out, isn’t there?”

“That’s true… ”

He pulled her over to the bed and they both lay down together.

“I am feeling a little nervous to be honest”

“Don’t be…”

Much to her surprise he pulled off his clothes in a mad rush and then got to work removing Hello Kitty, the shorts and what lie beneath.

“Marc… really!”

“I can’t wait any longer Rose…”

Her nerves had gone and in their place was a hot raw passion dying to get at him. She had to admit to herself that she’d been wanting this to happen for a long time. The kissing continued again. They wrapped themselves together for a while enjoying the new naked skin sensations going on between them.

He was kissing her delicious neck, her ears… then his head moved down over the rest of her his tongue tasting her breasts, her stomach her thighs… She was quite beautiful… all over. He wanted her so much, it was almost painful. She had found her way into his mind day and night, but much more than that, she was already firmly wedged  right inside his heart.

“You can do it now Marc, your weird thing, I don’t think I care what it is anymore…”

“Not yet, I like it to happen when I’m really ready…” He wasn’t quite at that point yet, soon…

He continued the tongue exploration for a bit more and then moved back up to continue the heated kissing  …  Rose just couldn’t get any more passionate about him as she took her turn and her hands and lips roamed all over his beautiful body and face.  A few minutes later he finally moved to lay on top of her… she was hyperventilating for him… pulling him to her quite roughly.

“
Come on
Marc… I want you like crazy!”

They gazed at each other as he entered her slowly, easing in his full length, then he kissed her thoroughly as he started to move inside her…

“Well, there’s nothing weird about you so far… I ‘m really loving all this…”

He made love to her gently for a short while, and then it started to become more urgent… he rolled them over and pushed her up on top of him… he wanted to see her.

“Before you see the real me, I want to see the real Rose…”

“Oh you do, do you…?” she gave him one of her hottest sexy smiles… she loved being in this position. She felt quite wild about him at the moment and was going to show it.  His hands were held gently against her breasts as she leaned over him, raining kisses all over his face and down to his chest and then she started to send him to a hot little world of her own making.

After a while he suddenly stopped her and flipped her on her back again. He was breathless over her. Marcus wasn’t one for swooning over women but he was sure he just had….

“You are just too hot Rose … I love the real you and I want a lot more of that sometime … but now it’s time for the real me…”

He kissed her again briefly, then he began to indulge his true passion, licking and sucking her neck with a frenzy… his mouth was starting to water, the hunger rising up fast….

“Marc, this is so wild…”

His teeth came into play, he was rubbing his tongue in long sweeping strokes and nibbling at her. She was on the edge of reason, moaning, about to go over the top… his fingers were between them, stroking her, whipping her up to a frenzy as he made love to her fast and urgently… she couldn’t tell which part of her was the more excited.

He was just about there, they both were… what followed now was the best feeling in the whole wide world to his mind – his orgasmic bite… she was in for a real treat.

There was a sudden sting on her neck which barely registered as she approached her peak and Marcus suddenly sighed in his release against her, his head buried in her neck. She wasn’t prepared for what followed at all, it was definitely a big surprise. She had a heady rush of buzzing and tingling sensations swirling round her head… it spread around her highly aroused body in a sudden rushing swoop taking her way over the top and beyond anything she had ever experienced. A very loud gasp made its way from deep inside her throat… She had never felt so high… Marcus was sucking heavily at her neck. It was the oddest most deeply sexual feeling she had ever known. His neck sucking action seemed to be connected directly to her sex on a super highway … like everything was being sucked at the same time. If this was his weird and odd side she wanted a whole lot more of it… how on earth did he do this?

He finally brought his head up and looked into her face. His blood smeared mouth and long sharp teeth caught her attention in a big way. His eyes were glowing with a reddish tinge…

Her eyes widened in horror and shock…

He moved to her side stroking her face and hair gently. Holding her rigid body close to him. The taste of her had been so divine, so perfect… he felt the pure ecstasy of her blood beginning to flow through his veins, supercharging him with even more love for her…

The atmosphere was so intense between them.

“So now you know what the real me is. What are you thinking…?”

She couldn’t answer right away…

“My mind has stopped working Marc…” she finally managed a shocked whisper. “… you just can’t be a…” she couldn’t say it.

“Yes I am”

“No!” Even though the evidence was staring her in the face, she couldn’t go there….

“Rose… I won’t ever hurt you… I just need some of what you have now and then.”

“Exactly how much
do
you need?”

“Just a very small amount, I promise you.”

“I’m not going to become one now am I…?”

“No, that’s something else completely. This is just you to me… whenever you want to give it. I can get supplies elsewhere if you don’t want me to do it again.”

“Where do you get supplies from Marc…?”

“I have a list of women, I pay them.”

“You pay them! What, like blood whores….? I don’t fucking believe it…!”

“I have a very good relationship with all eight of them. They want to do it and I pay them generously. I would never call them blood whores… they are keeping me alive Rose…I don’t go out prowling the night streets for it like some….”

“What do you do with them, these women who supply you?”

“Drink their blood. That’s all, nothing else. I have two other women I sleep with who know all about me. But not since I met you… and everything else you see in the news, that’s all just for show.”

“Well you have it all very nice and ordered don’t you… do Benet and Jeff know?”

“Yes, they know all about me Rose… the women, what I am…”

“Well it’s all starting to fall into place now. The non disclosure agreement, the absence of meals in your life… taking me off the pill so you don’t consume it…even the UV filter over your pool, it’s all geared around you being a ….” She still couldn’t bring herself to say it.

“Yes, it’s all about me being a vampire Rose.” If she couldn’t say it, he would say it for her.

“You seem so normal Marc… so human. I would never have guessed in a million years what your weird side was…”

“I am normal Rose, the only difference between us is what we eat.” There were a few other things, like immortality for instance, but nothing that she needed to know at this moment. He sat up and cleaned his mouth a little with a tissue. He gently dabbed at her neck, wiping it clean.

Her fingers touched her neck, she could feel the bite marks as raised lumps. It strangely didn’t hurt at all.

“They’ll be gone in a few hours… it’s a rapid healing process. Don’t worry… there won’t be scars…” He watched her touching herself gently and put his hand over hers.

“Marc… I need to think about all this for a while. You know, it was so very beautiful how you made me feel… the whole experience was out of this world. I can’t begin to describe it. It was the strongest sexual experience I have ever had in my life, in fact I’m still feeling the after effects… but now that I know the cause of it, I’m just not sure I want anything to do with this.”

He felt a little alarm go off inside him. Women normally couldn’t resist his bite… on top of everything else. He had only ever had a couple of refusals in 86 years… it was sounding like she might reject him and she was the only woman he had ever wanted this much.

“How did you get to be like this? How many others are there? What actually is it? Tell me all about it Marc…” She wanted to know more before she went back to her room tonight to consider the latest developments.

Chapter 25

Marcus lie alone in his bed after Rose had left. She knew everything about him now. He was now feeling a little more secure about her – quite sure she would come round eventually. She seemed very accepting of it all in the end… She’d even kissed him goodnight. Quite a loving one too. He’d have to work on her a little, be extra patient. But that was okay with him, he was very much in love with her… just being around her was enough for now.

He’d never met anyone he wanted to be with forever, before he met her.

He was starting to imagine holding Rose the vampire in his arms. It could become a reality quite soon. Rose the human was spectacular enough, but a highly tuned and improved vampire would blow his mind.  He could take her away from the world she lived in, the one full of illness and old age and death. He wanted to show her his world, it was a far more perfect one.  She deserved perfection.
