Es and Ben wrapped Caleb’s limp body in the sheet from his bed. Sickened and heartbroken, I couldn’t watch anymore. I ran to my room consumed with pain, fear, and hate. I slammed my door and fell onto my bed. I couldn’t handle it. I had lost the one person I ever actually loved. I only thought I loved Samuel but in all reality, I only thought I was supposed to love him. What I felt for Caleb was real. I knew I would never love another the same way. When he died he took a part of me with him. If I had the courage and strength I would meet the sun and join him on the other side.
I hated Ben for what he had done. He allowed his jealousy grasp him. He allowed his emotions to get the better of him. I knew in my heart he didn’t want to hurt Caleb. It was Samuel he was after. I still didn’t know what kind of past Samuel and Es shared and in this moment I didn’t care. The only thing I cared about was dealing with the fact that I would never see Caleb again. Thirst clawed at my throat. I needed to feed but I only cried into my pillow until I fell asleep.
––––––––
The next evening I didn’t bother to even move. I didn’t want to do anything. I couldn’t handle life and I didn’t want to. I was still in my blood-stained clothes but I didn’t care. I crawled up the bed and pulled back the blankets. I felt secure as I hid under them. My throat felt like the Sahara, dry and lifeless. I was so thirsty but I didn’t care to quench it. All I wanted to do was cry and hope I would wither away.
I heard a knock at my door, “Go away,” I called as I dug my nails into my blood red sheets. It was not the time to fuck with a thirsty and very irritable vampire. They knocked again. “Leave me alone,” I growled.
I clenched my teeth as I heard the door open and close again. I smashed my face down into my pillow as I pictured Caleb, my only reprieve from reality. I could feel someone approaching my bed. Then the blanket moved and I felt the impression in the mattress as someone climbed in behind me.
“Es, I don’t need company. I suggest you leave me alone,” I hissed and felt a heavy arm draped over me. I jerked in surprise and sat up quickly. I switched on the bedside lamp and looked back angrily. “Mother fu....” I thought Ben had come in to make a move until I saw Caleb lying next to me. I took a second to take in his clear blue eyes. He had one arm bent back to support his head and he was smiling adorably up at me.
“Well that wasn’t the welcome I was hoping for,” he grabbed me and pulled me down against his naked chest. He met my lips for a passionate kiss. He tasted of blood and life. I pulled out of the kiss and looked down at him.
“How?” I whispered as I put my fingers to his soft plump lips. “You were...dead.” I had to choke down the final word.
“You saved me, love,” he said deeply as he pushed my hair behind my left ear. I closed my eyes and savored his touch. He felt warm and full of life.
“What about...” I paused and bit my bottom lip.
“He’s gone,” he gripped my hair at the nape of my neck gently.
“Really? Are you sure?”
“Yes,” he pulled me down for another kiss. This time, it was full of heat and intent. “Let us not talk about him. Let me love you the way you deserve. Let me take that pain away.”
He rolled us over until he was on top of me. I raked my fingers through his hair and took the chance to see those gorgeous eyes. He smiled and kissed me before moving those lips down my neck. His fangs grazed my collar bone. My body was alive with passion for this man. He sat up and gripped the hem of my shirt.
“Rip it off,” I panted.
“I plan on it,” he grinned and separated the fabric with ease. “Beautiful,” he whispered.
“Stop,” I giggled and closed my eyes.
“Open your eyes. I want to make sure you are listening to me.” I did as instructed. “You are beautiful,” he smiled and leaned down to continue the assault on my neck and down my chest. With one twist of his hand, the front clasp of my bra fell open. He hissed before cupping both of my breasts and sucking on my nipples. He sucked each one into his mouth but giving each one equal attention. They grew tight as he tweaked them between his fingers and thumbs.
“I love your breasts and the way you respond when I suck them,” he said sucking one nipple into his mouth and releasing it with a pop before moving on to the other. His lips traveled down my stomach and down between my thighs. He then kissed my clit through my jeans and drew in my scent. “I also love this.”
“Caleb, stop teasing me,” I giggled.
“Never,” he growled and gripped the hem of my jeans. He pulled them down without even unbuttoning them. He grinned up at me as he took the crotch of my panties in his hand and ripped them from my body. I couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
I wanted to undress him but when I sat up to take off his pants he was already naked. He must have undressed when he came in. His cock was standing a full attention. I gripped his shaft and gave him a squeeze and released him. I reached down between my legs and wet my fingers with my own juices. I took him in my hand again and stroked him. He gasped and hissed as I pumped him hard and fast. I got to my knees quickly. I had seen it done before and men seemed to enjoy it. I flicked my tongue out and swiped it across the tip. Caleb seemed pleased so I moved on. I licked my lips and took his length into my mouth. I wasn’t sure what to do at first but I got the hang of it quickly. I swirled my tongue around his tip and sucked him in deeper. I was only going on memory. I wanted to try something but I wasn’t sure if he would like. As Caleb let his head fall back I slowly took his balls in my hand. I massaged them as I sucked and I felt them grow tight to my touch.
“Willow, if you don’t stop I’m going to lose it,” he said deeply but I didn’t stop. I pulled him into my mouth even deeper. I massaged his balls and bobbed my head up and down on his shaft. He gripped my hair and I tasted his release on my tongue. It wasn’t an unpleasant flavor. I withdrew him from my mouth and looked up at him. He was panting and smiled as he brushed my cheek with his thumb. “Where did you learn that?”
“You liked it?” I questioned with a smile.
“Very much,” he smiled “My turn.”
He knelt down and kissed me as he pushed me back down on my back. He snaked his body down between my legs again, resting them on his shoulders. His mouth was on me a second later. His tongue was licking and circling my clit as he plunged two fingers inside me. I clenched the sheets with my fingers as he pleasured me. He hit a spot inside me that had me riding a wave of pleasure only after a couple of strokes. I was tightening around his fingers as he continued to suck my clit.
“I want you inside me,” I panted as he moved his tongue faster. “Oh, God,” I moaned as another orgasm hit me. He removed his fingers and snaked his way up my body, kissing ever inch as he came. We met face to face. I felt his cock against me. He smiled down at me and with one shift of his hips he entered me. I gasped in pleasure as he filled me up.
“You feel so good,” he said as he began to slowly pump into me.
“You feel like heaven,” I replied.
“Turn over on your knees.”
I quickly turned over and put my naked ass in the air. He gripped my hips and thrust into me hard. I bit my bottom lip as he began to pump inside me. I used one hand to brace myself as I used the other to touch my clit. I wanted another orgasm in the worst way.
“Come for me, Willow,” he growled deeply.
“Yes,” I hissed and moved my finger faster against my clit. My toes curled as I clenched around him. He gripped my hips and pounded into me twice more before spilling inside me.
We collapsed onto the bed as we tried to catch our breath. Caleb cradled me against his chest and kissed my hair.
“Thank you,” he said.
“For what?” I asked as I kissed his chest.
“For saving me.”
“I thought I lost you,” my breath shuttered as my emotions tried to break free. I was finally in his arms and I didn’t want to waste time with senseless tears. I swallowed them down.
“So did I,” he replied deeply. My body was too exhausted to do much of anything but relax.
“I should feed but I’m too tired.”
“Feed on me,” he said softly.
“No, you just healed. I’m ravenous. I can’t do that.”
“Sure you can,” he said and exposed his neck to me. My fangs elongated. “We will feed tomorrow night. Don’t worry. I won’t let you take too much.” I kissed his neck before sinking my fangs into him. He placed his hand on the back of my head and clenched my hair tightly as I drew his blood into my mouth. I was glad he was ready just in case I got carried away.
I pulled away and licked the punctures. They would heal in no time.
“Better?” he asked.
“Yes thank you,” I sighed and closed my eyes.
“Anytime.”
“I love you, Caleb.”
“I love you too, my sweet Willow. Now sleep.”
“Yes.”
Exhaustion had me on the edge of passing out when I heard an all too familiar voice in my head.
“Willow...”
