Alliances End

Klaus
“Tomorrow night is fine. But it had better be spectacular.” Ruby replied
“It will be. You’ll see. I’ll need another ritual Consent form from you.” I sent
“I thought the next ritual was only next week?” She replied
“That’s the official ritual. If you agree, you and I are going to be doing a private ritual.” I sent
I wish I could see her face. Is she going red? Touching herself at the thought?
“I’ll send it over.” She replied.
Vampires can only feed off humans, not other vampires.
Vampires who choose a human as their mate often do private rituals outside of the coven setting with them before turning them.
They need to create enough memories to last an eternity. Of course, not all vampires who choose human mates have to turn their mates, but that’s a rare choice.
Watching the person you love age and die is a pain like no other, not that I would know.
I’ve never been in love.
I’m not sure if that is still true or not.
The next day drags by.
I deliberately don’t call Ruby into my office. If I do, I won’t be able to keep my hands off her, and I want to save everything for tonight.
By the time evening comes around, my cock is hard from thinking about Ruby. We meet around the corner, still trying to dodge Katherine.
I’m not sure how much longer I can see Katherine in the dark.
Everything ok?” Katherine smiles brightly at me.
“Everything is perfect.”
I don’t want to burden her with my troubles. She should be able to enjoy tonight without any worries.
So, where are we going?”
To my place, then we’re going out.
A bit of a backward order, isn’t it?”
You forget that the ritual is how I feed. First, we’ll feed me, then we’ll feed you.”
You also eat human food, though. Why is that?”
Vampires can eat human food, but we don’t need it. Those of us who eat it do so purely. for the enjoyment of the taste.”
Ruby nods, and I’m glad to see that she doesn’t look worried or upset.
She really is adjusting well to knowing about me.
When we get inside, I forcibly check myself.
I’m not going to jump her the moment we step inside. If this was purely physical, I’d have no hesitation doing just that, but I’m past the point where I can pretend this is just physical.
“Do you want a drink?”
How about we get you a drink first?” Ruby steps close, tilting her neck to the side. The temptation to bite into her skin is almost irresistible.
You need to be coming for the blood to nourish me.”
“So make me come.” Her breath ghosts across my cheek.
I grab her and zip her over to the bedroom.
Ruby gasps, not used to traveling at such speed, but she doesn’t try to get away.
The ritual candles are already set in a circle around the bed. I light them so quickly that Ruby barely realizes I’m gone. Then I return to her on the bed.
Do you trust me?”
“I trust you.”
“Then put your hands in these.”
The padded handcuffs are attached to the headboard. Ruby’s pupils are blown wide as she obeys. I can tell by her scent that it’s not fear making her eyes go wide; it’s lust.
I whip out a piece of red silk and tie it around her eyes. “What’s your safe word?”
I- what?”
If we’re going to do the blindfold and handcuffs, you need a safe word.”
Oh. Um… bicycle?”
Perfect.”
I grab her top, ripping it open.
I’ll buy you a new one tomorrow,” | whispered in her ear.
Ruby is trembling. Her head turns this way and that, trying to listen to what I’m doing, but I move too softly for her human ears to pick up.
I pull her pants down her legs and discard them with the tatters of her top. I ghost feather-light kisses down over her stomach and each leg.
Starting at the bottom, I begin kissing her. I kiss her ankles, then her calves, then her knees. By the time I get to her thighs, Ruby’s chest is heaving.
Spread your legs.
She does so without any hesitation.
I dive in, running my tongue over her pussy, starting at the opening and ending at her clit. She tastes delicious and gushes liquid as I get to work on her clit.
I’ve lived a long time, and I’ve become adept at knowing when my partner is about to come. I pull away just in time.
Klaus!” Ruby tugs at the handcuffs. “Get back there – please – I have to come.”
Oh, you will, my sweet. But you will come with my teeth in your neck, sucking your blood.”
Her hips arch up off the bed. I can smell the desperation coming from her. I haven’t touched myself yet, and my cock is straining against the fabric of my pants.
I move away so that I’m not touching Ruby at all. As I expected, this drives her wild.
Her head turns back and forth, and she tugs fruitlessly at the cuffs. I climb off the bed and get undressed quickly.
I allow myself two hard strokes of my cock. I can’t keep back a groan. Ruby’s face turns toward me at the sound.
I climb back onto the bed, letting my skin rub against hers.
She’s so smooth and warm, more delectable than any human I’ve ever been with -and. I’ve been with many.
She whimpers softly as I lay over her so that our bodies are touching at almost every point. I bury my face in her hair, inhaling the sweet scent of her shampoo.
*Are you ready for me, Ruby?
“I’m ready.
I don’t need any more confirmation than that. I position myself and push into her with one swift thrust.
Ruby’s hands curl around the handcuff chains, holding herself steady. She wraps her legs around my waist, changing the angle so that I can get even deeper into her pussy.
I growl under my breath and kiss her, fast and brutal. I’m in her mind, and I can hear her silently begging me not to go easy on her.
Her climax hovers mere moments away.
I sink my teeth into her neck. Ruby screams, arching into me as her orgasm overtakes her.
The dual pleasure of her blood in my mouth and my cock in her pussy is almost overwhelming.
I slam into her again and again, sating my thirst even as I seek to sate my lust.
My cock finally explodes, pouring my essence into her.
I regretfully pull my mouth away from her neck, checking to make sure the chemicals of the bite have sealed the wound properly.
Ruby seems barely conscious. I take off the blindfold and the handcuffs, pulling her close to me.
We lie in bed together, catching our breath.
That was intense. Rituals always are, but this was something else. I’ve never felt anything like that. I wonder if Ruby feels the same?
She finally seems to come out of her daze.
Klaus ?”
I’m here. Are you alright?”
“Better than alright.”
Her stomach grumbles. Ruby goes red, but I simply chuckle, offering her my hand.
“Shall we go to dinner?”
I think I need a shower first,” she mumbles.
*We both do. You can go first.”
As much as I love the thought of ravishing her in the shower, I want to get some food into her. She has just lost blood, after all. Ruby showers quickly, and I do the same. She’s dressed by the time I get out.
“I see you found the dress I got you.”
“It’s beautiful.” She runs her fingers down the shimmery blue fabric. “Is it for tonight?”
It is. I thought we’d give that last date another try.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She smiles and takes my arm. I feel like I’m floating above the clouds as I lead her out. I’m just locking the door when Ruby stiffens beside me.
I spin around. nervous Katherine.
She’s standing not ten feet away. In many distractions, I didn’t notice her. She’s glaring. at Katherine; it’s only too clear that she knows exactly what we did, and its implications.
Serena. Go, now. Go home. I’ll call you.”
She shoots a frightened look at Katherine, but. thankfully chooses not to question.
I brace myself. I’ve been allied with Katherine for a long time… but alliances end. By the look on Katherine’s face, ours isn’t going to last much longer.
