8. Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven
Aiden
W as I eavesdropping? Yeah, but I mean in my defense it was about me anyway and I deserve the right to know what’s going on. Calder doesn’t seem to even be upset about it so I’m not going to worry too much.
“How are you feeling, Aiden,” Calder asks slowly, “you know after feeding from me?”
“I actually feel a lot better. Maybe the blood bag you gave me was from a bad batch,” I offer with a little shrug. I have no fucking clue how that works, but at least it would make sense. In truth, right after I fed from Calder, I felt better than ever.
The problem right now was the little obnoxious voice in the back of my mind wouldn’t shut up. It kept screaming in the back of my mind for Calder. I needed him. I couldn’t stand sitting in his bed by myself. My skin started to crawl with an anxious feeling as soon as he left the room. I tried to stay there. I really did, but when the feeling became too much to deal with, I snuck out of the room and down the hallway.
I probably should have felt embarrassed about what had happened. I wasn’t enthralled. I was obsessed, maybe even a little possessed. I feel almost crazy like I’m losing my mind.
“I’m not so sure about that,” he mumbles mostly to himself as his brow scrunches in concentration.
“Are you sure you’re feeling fine,” he asks looking at me with uncertainty.
“Yeah,” I mumble shifting awkwardly on my feet, “I haven’t felt sick at all, and the blood bag made me sick right away.”
He slowly nods his head in agreement like he isn’t sure what to believe.
“You would tell me if you were feeling sick, right?”
“Of course I would,” I mumble, but part of me wouldn’t want to. I didn’t like him seeming me weak and vulnerable like that.
His eyes dart up to mine before going on to say, “Marcus said it should be about a week before he can get a ring to you. I’m sorry it’s going to take that long.”
“Oh,” I huff out shifting awkwardly on my feet. Did he already want me gone? Maybe I’m just too much for him to deal with.
“Your friend probably thinks I’m crazy,” I mumble testing the waters while casting my gaze downward. What I really wanted to say was that he probably thought I was crazy now.
“I mean, he was certainly amused by your show of dominance,” he huffs out in amusement. I cringe a little feeling awkward and embarrassed.
Calder must have sensed the change in my mood. Suddenly his hand was underneath my chin guiding my face up to his as he murmured, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, little bat. I rather enjoyed every minute of what happened between us.”
I swallow hard looking between his eyes searching for the lie, but all I see shining back at me is this raw honesty. My body feels like it’s burning up with the heated look in his eyes. He slowly grins down at me, and I bite down on my bottom lip squirming under his appraisal.
“So, you don’t want me to leave,” I blurt out feeling subconscious, and then quickly forge forward rambling on, “I mean, I’m going to have to leave so I can check on my cat, and Eve. She’s probably flipping her lid right about now. She’s usually the only one that puts up with my shit. She’s my best friend, the one I called earlier-”
Something flashes in Calder’s eyes, but I have no clue what it means. Before I can even contemplate that look, he places his fingers over my lips to hush me, “Well, that was a lot… I don’t want you to leave, Aiden. If I haven’t made that clear to you then I’m truly sorry.” I go to open my mouth to say Gods only knows what, but Calder gives a slight shake of his head.
“You’re more than welcome here in my home,” his eyes burn into mine, “in my bed.” Fuck me . I shift a little as I feel my cock stiffen once more. It hasn’t even been that long ago since I got off. A little noise escapes me, and I find myself stepping closer. Needing his warmth.
“I want a shower,” I blurt out of nowhere, probably just to get away from this whole awkward situation. He gives me a knowing look and I bite down on my bottom lip. Plus, my hair’s a hot mess, and if I look as gross as I feel then yeah, a shower needs to be my top priority.
I swipe a hand through my hair and cringe at the feel of it. Yep, need that to happen like ASAP. I feel gross as hell with how greasy my hair feels. Bleh!
He cocks an eyebrow at me as his pupils blow wide. He swallows hard and I watch his Adam’s apple bob.
“Alone,” he asks in that gravelly voice of his. The one that I’ve come to learn is what happens when I turn him on. I give him a little shake of my head in response even as my anxiety ricochets through me. For better or worse, I’m going to play out this little fantasy of mine.
He pulls me closer to him before leaning down to whisper in my ear, “I think we can have that arranged, little bat.” Gods, this guy is like sex personified. How the hell do I think I’ll be able to keep up with him? He knows exactly what he’s doing, but I’m just over here stumbling along making a complete fool out of myself.
“I do seriously need to check on Eve and Sin,” I mumble as if that needs to be repeated, “and at least get my iPad. Well, and some clothes.” My fingers twitch again and I’m so ready to put my frustration into my art and lose myself even for just a moment. Maybe then my brain can process through all the crazy shit that I’ve recently been going through.
“I have clothes you can wear,” he says excitedly as he looks me up and down.
“Sure, you do,” I huff out in a laugh, “and you think I’m the possessive one.”
“Oh, I know I’m possessive of you, Aiden. You just haven’t seen the full extent yet,” he murmurs while pulling me slowly up his body. I can feel every hard inch of him and a little shiver of anticipation races through me.
Calder turns and leads me back down the hallway toward his room. He looks back at me with a smile, but I can still see some of his lingering worries. For now, I choose to ignore it for a nice hot shower. I’m sure I’ll feel even better once I’m fresh and clean.
He tugs me by the hand into his bathroom and I assume at some point he must have cleaned up the mess I made. I feel ashamed for a hot minute when I realize this, but Calder doesn’t allow me to dwell on it for too long. Instead, he turns on the shower and while the water heats up, he gently begins to strip me of my clothes.
Littler shivers race through me at his gentle caresses along my skin. Almost like he’s doing it on purpose, but I’m not complaining. I love the feel of his hands on my body. In a sense it makes me feel less alone than I ever felt before in my life.
When Calder pushes his pants down his thick thighs without any fanfare, I almost lose my mind. I make a strange little noise causing his gaze to dart at me.
“Is this okay,” he asks in that gravelly tone that has my cock twitching between my thighs.
“Yep,” I squeak out. He gives me a strange look as he slowly rises.
“Are you sure, Aiden?”
“Yeah totally. I’m fine. It’s fine. We’re fine,” Fuck me, shut up Aiden! Right now! Just. Shut. Up.
My jaw snaps shut with an audible click. I place my hands behind my back. Then on my hips. Then I wring them in front of me. You know there should be like a guide as to where you’re supposed to put your hands while having an internal crisis.
Suddenly has warm hand grabs both of mine to stop my anxious movements and I choke a little on my next breath. My eyes dart at him and then quickly dart away again. I’m unable to settle since all my nerve endings seem to be buzzing with this… excitement? Anticipation?
He strokes his thumb along the top of my hand for a moment before tugging me into the shower.
“Aiden, breathe,” he growls, and it takes me a moment to realize I’m holding my breath. I suck in a deep lunge full of air. Gods, could I just act a little normal? I mean, it shouldn’t be this freaking hard.
He arranges me underneath the stream of hot water since I’m in some weird kind of daze. The hot water hits my tired body, and I let out a groan of appreciation. I tilt my head back letting the water run down my head as I close my eyes.
“Okay, little bat, why don’t you turn around and let me wash your hair,” Calder says in a husky voice that has my stomach fluttering with killer moths.
I hum in the back of my throat as I comply with his command and turn around. Keeping my eyes closed I relax into his touch as his fingers massage the shampoo into my hair. Then his hands are on my body, and I crack open an eye looking back over my shoulder at him.
“Is this okay,” he asks with uncertainty in his voice. I hum in agreement causing him to let out a sigh of relief.
His hands took on an almost exploratory feel as if he couldn’t help himself. When his hand swept around my hip causing him to press against the length of my back a little gasp escaped my throat. My hips buck forward, but instead of going where I so desperately needed, his hand went a little higher. Sweeping along my lower belly back and forth in a lazy motion.
I’m going to die. This is how I die. Fuck!
“Calder,” I moan in a breathy tone.
“Yes, little bat?” An embarrassed feeling has my words getting stuck on the tip of my tongue. What the hell am I supposed to say? Can I please fuck your fist now? Would that be weird to ask? I’ve only known the guy for like a day, and most of it I had spent sick or asleep.
“Aiden,” he asks softly as his hand keeps moving back and forth. Back and forth.
“More,” I whimper out of nowhere.
“Ah,” he murmurs against the shell of my ear but doesn’t keep me waiting. At least not for long.
His hand wraps around my aching cock and gives me a long stroke. The feel of him makes me almost delirious. My hips thrust forward as his other hand wraps around my hip to try and keep me in place.
“ More! More! More, ” puffs out of my mouth in a desperate voice that I might be embarrassed about later, but right now all I can focus on is the sensation of him.
I press my ass back against his hard cock nestled against my cheeks. A deep groan rumbles through his chest, and I’m just gone at this point. Fucking myself into his fist while also trying to grind my ass against his huge cock. I don’t even know if I’m doing it right, but here’s to hoping.
“Aiden, fuck,” he grits out from behind me and a lazy smirk tugs the corner of my mouth with how unhinged he sounds.
Calder presses me back harder into him until he’s gliding his thick hard cock between my ass cheeks. The sounds he’s making have my balls tightening with my orgasm. I’m ready to explode. I don’t know why I do it. I can’t even really explain the sudden urge. I grab the hand that’s holding my hip and lift it to my mouth. I sink my fangs into his wrist and moan around his soft flesh.
“Oh fuck,” he grits out and I feel his warm release slash against me as his cock pulses wildly.
That’s all it takes to send me over the edge and into a blissful pleasure that I’ve never experienced before. Far better than when I touch myself. A breathy moan rips out of me and I make a mess of myself as I come.
I was already yawning and my eyes drooped with exhaustion.
“You look like you’re about to fall asleep standing up, little bat,” Calder murmured against my ear. I shake my head in protest and a soft chuckle escapes him.
Calder fussed about washing me up and rinsing me off. I swayed trying to keep my eyes open as best I could, but I was drained. Even though it was a foreign feeling being taken care of I couldn’t complain. I wouldn’t complain. It was perfect. Who knew becoming a vampire would be so taxing?
Before I knew it, I was in bed under the soft blankets with Calder wrapped around me. Listening to Calder’s gentle breaths soothed me into a deep sleep.
