Chapter 14 ~ Lisa

~* Lisa *~

Did he just say he was a shapeshifter?

Finding out about the drug he gave us was one thing, but telling us he’s a shapeshifter was even more freaky.

Oh my God. Was he planning to turn us into whatever he was? I don’t want to be a wolf, or bear, or dragon, or whatever the heck other beastly creatures these shapeshifters turn into. He sure as heck better not turn us into skunks.

It’s unbelievable to think that shapeshifters exist in real life. Did his family’s company create a drug to do that too? What possible upside could there be to being a shapeshifter? Not only is the transformation painful as hell, but you wind up naked in the middle of some strange place when you turn back to human. How do you make it home without being arrested? We’re not in the Midwest where people just hang their laundry outside on a clothesline. Being stranded bare-assed in public would so not be my idea of fun and excitement. There’s no benefit whatsoever to being a shapeshifter if you ask me.

I wonder why Kevin picked us? Or I guess I should say, picked Chris, because he probably didn’t know about me until I walked in on them. I so wish I could speak my mind because I want to ask him that question.

“I picked Chris because of you, Lisa.”

Oh my God, did he just read my thoughts? And what did he mean by picked Chris because of me?

“I’ve been studying the both of you for quite some time now. I knew Chris would be the more vulnerable one to seduce. Although I would’ve loved the challenge of seducing you to cheat on Chris, I figured it would be more fun to get Chris to give in to his bi nature. He’d been subconsciously suppressing that for a long time. I knew I could turn him easily.”

Okay, let’s see if you can truly read my mind. Why were you targeting me?

Kevin smiled down at me. His eyes scanned the length of my body. Gosh, I’ve been in shock from what he’d been telling us that I forgot I was laying naked on this hard, uncomfortable slab.

“You don’t know, do you?” His eyes fixed back on mine, captivating me with the depth of his gaze. Inwardly, I held my breath. He seemed to know a secret that I obviously didn’t know, but maybe should know.

“Your father made a deal with my father when you were born. Unfortunately, when you turned seven your father changed his mind and tried to break the contract. When my father wouldn’t allow it, your father tried to escape with your family, but his plans got thwarted and he ended up disappearing.”

Oh God, did Dad leave us, or did something happen to him? I remember he awoke us in the middle of the night, scrambled us out of bed, and piled us in the car. We headed out and I fell asleep, then something happened, but I can’t remember it all. All I know is the next day he was gone and we’ve never heard from him since.

Just what kind of deal did they make?

Kevin continued, “When you entered puberty, you and I were to meet and eventually fall in love. You see, you were selected to be my mate and be by my side when my turn came to take over my family’s empire. You’re to give birth to our offspring, one of which will take my place when their time came. Unfortunately, without your father’s participation, I had to seduce you on my own. However, you had a boyfriend, so instead of stealing you away from him, which I could’ve done, fortunately for you both, and unknowing to my father, I’m bi and willing to share and make us a triad. But you both have to be turned.”

This was way too weird. I looked at Chris to see if I could spot any glimmer of emotion in his eyes. How was he taking all this? Me?—I was still freaking out.

What does being turned entail—some painful ritual? Can’t I have a say on this? What if I don’t want to be turned?

Well at least we knew now that Kevin wasn’t going to kill us. He wanted us to become a part of his pack, or clan, or whatever the heck shapeshifters called their family. I still didn’t know how I felt about that. I wasn’t ready to commit to being turned into a beast, especially not on a full moon—it would take all the romance out of that beautiful glow.

“That’s werewolves, silly girl,” Kevin said.

Dang, I can’t get used to him reading my mind.

“And we’re not beasts, although there are residents of this city who are, but that’s beside the point. Okay, truth be told, I’m actually a vampire who can shapeshift but I just don’t like using the V word because it scares people.”

And like calling yourself a shapeshifter doesn’t? I was pretty scared, Kevin.

“Don’t be. I’m not going to hurt you.”

Oh yeah? Why am I strapped to a sacrificial slab then?

“It’s not a sacrificial slab. It’s only for show. I do my bondage photography here, and I also rent this room out to movie productions for their horror flicks. When I get visitors, I like to freak them out with it. I see it’s doing a good job, huh?” He laughed.

Haha. You’re full of laughs. Smartass. I don’t enjoy being tied up, especially by a bloodthirsty vampire.

“I’m not that kind of vampire, I don’t suck blood, I suck sex.”

Excuse me? Did you say ‘suck sex’ or ‘success’?

“You heard right the first time. My lineage thrives on sex, not blood.”

So when you blew Chris and went down on me, we were feeding you?

“Yup, you got it. You were a great breakfast, better than a protein shake.”

A sex-sucking vampire, huh? Well now I’ve heard everything.

“Well wait, I’m not finished. We also don’t live forever. We live longer than humans, but we do have an expiration date.”

What? Didn’t your clan get the Vampire’s Union memo? Or did you guys just stand in the wrong line at the checkout when they were handing out vampire DNA?

“Haha, very funny. Now who’s being the smartass?”

How come your lineage is so different than other vampires?

“Because we are being genetically engineered. That’s the work of my family’s corporation. We’re making improvements to help change the future of vampires. There are things that suck with the old ways, pardon the pun. For one, human blood supply would eventually diminish if we grow to unmentionable numbers. Vampires would end up extinguishing the human race, unless humans destroy us first. Vampires who don’t want to kill humans are stealing from blood banks and hospitals now. That can’t continue because eventually there will be a shortage for humans who really need that blood. We want to change things so humans and vampires can live in harmony.

“Two: we realize that overpopulation would be a problem if we didn’t eventually die, so although we live longer than humans, we’ve got our DNA to countdown from only a few hundred years.”

So what you’re saying is that you come from good vampires who want to change the world?

“Basically, yes.”

Won’t you get resistance from evil vampires who not only enjoy sucking blood, but who won’t see the benefit of a shorter life span?

“We’re aware of this. That’s why we need to recruit as many vampires as we can who support our cause. That means even humans who want to become vampires. I’m hoping you and Chris will join me.”

Hmm. Interesting. I don’t know what Chris is telepathizing to you, but I’m going to need time to digest this all, especially when I can think straighter without my pussy causing me so much distress.

“I understand.”

And by the way, if you’re not evil, why did you tie me up? I’d like to be untied please.

“Your body doesn’t agree with you. You’re horny because one of your fantasies is being tied up and letting two men have their way with you.”

What? How the heck do you know about that?

Oh, wait. I forgot. You can read minds. How long have you been reading mine?

“As I said, I’ve been studying you and Chris for a while. I wanted to learn all there was about you two before I seduced you both. I needed to make sure you were the right mates for me.”

Well this just about sucked. It’s totally unfair and unconstitutional—where’s our privacy rights? I won’t be able to have a single private thought around you.

“I can turn it off when I want. Sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to be able to hear all the inane chatter floating around, so I do tune some of it out sometimes.”

How about now? Can you tune me out please?

“Sorry, you’re too much fun to tune out on.” He grinned.

“But hey, if you decide to become a vampire, then you’ll have control of what you want others of us to hear.”

Humph, that’s just great.

“Any other questions, beautiful?”

I wriggled my ass.

Yeah I do, but I’ll save them for later. Right now my pussy’s about to blow a gasket if you and Chris don’t hurry up and get on with it. I’m dying here.

Kevin smiled wickedly.

God, I’ve never felt so out of control in all my life.

“So do you feel safe now?”

No, but what choice do I have?

“Don’t worry, Lisa, all that’s going to happen this weekend is that your wildest fantasies will come true. Chris’ too.” There’s that devilish grin again. For a non-evil vampire, he sure flashed those wicked smiles all too frequently.

“Chris, Lisa needs her lust alleviated, so I think it’s about time we did something to help her, no?”

“Yes, please help me,” were the words that came out of my mouth, and not by my conscious mind, I might add. Gads!

My hips writhed with the tension of my burning desire. Even after all that time passing with Kevin’s confessions, my pussy was still hot to trot.

Just how long did this drug last?

Looks like Kevin was going to get to refuel his energy tank. So far, he’s only sucked us, I wonder if fucking gets him bouncing off the walls.

“Why don’t we start her out with some Ben Wa balls?” Kevin said to Chris, obviously ignoring my inner dialog.

What the heck were Ben Wa balls?

Gulp.

Oh my God, they better not be some Asian guy’s testicles.
