Chapter 19
Delaney
Sipping from my hot chocolate, then pulling the blanket around me tighter, I stare at the fire pit in front of us.
Since I am in lockdown, thanks to those crazy women, Skyla and her crew have come to the club to keep me company. It is nice to see them, and to catch up.
I needed it, being around so much testosterone, and the bitches who think they are better than me because they service the single brothers.
It has been a week since Thorin took me to his room, after kissing me in front of the whole club, fucked me, and we did the scene with our blood.
The whole thing was intense, erotic, soul binding, and hot.
It was everything I thought it would be.
We have had sex a lot since that night; it is like he can’t keep his hands off me. To say that my pussy is sore is an understatement, but hell if I will tell him to stop.
I have waited for over four years for this man, and there is no way I am going to tell him no, when he wants to fuck. Or just like last night, where he took me softly, slowly.
Something I never thought Thorin could do.
“So, bitch, give us the details on fucking a vampire.” Clark’s voice pulls me back to the moment.
Thorin and some of the guys are on a run for the club. Something about delivering blood and visiting a black-market auction for a client, which I know is something that the club does often.
They are one-percenters, after all.
I smirk over at Clark, who is sitting between Rocky and Eva.
“I do not kiss and tell.” I wink.
“Fuck off. You have a big mouth, babe,” he replies.
“I bet Thorin knows how big her mouth is,” Eva pipes up, then giggles.
“Lightweight,” I call to her.
Since Tate dropped her off, she has had one shot of tequila and two glasses of red wine. Waving me off, she sips from her glass.
“Tate likes having sex when I am drunk; he says I am wild.” Another hiccup slips from her, making me smile.
Eva is the quiet one of their little group, but since starting her relationship with Tate, she has grown a backbone and come out of her shell more. It is so freaking good to see.
It took Eva a while to agree to date Tate, since he dated Skyla for a short time, but they decided they were better as friends.
“Wild sex is good sex. Damn, I need to get laid,” Rocky whines.
“You took those two girls home the night before last. I saw them leave your place early the next morning.” Skyla throws a chip at her friend.
Rocky catches it and pops it into his mouth, grinning.
“Damn, they knew what they were doing.” He winks.
“How much did they charge?” Eva asks.
We all belt out laughter at her question, seeing the shocked look on Rocky’s face. I hold my stomach from laughing so hard. The feeling makes my heart happy.
Being here with friends, laughing and talking, makes things seem not so bad.
“You little shit,” Rocky calls to her, laughing. “I do not pay for sex; chicks come to me on hands and knees, begging for my cock.”
“Sure they do,” I mutter behind my glass.
He flips me off, making me giggle.
“Anyway, back to the vampire fucking.” Clark wiggles his brows at me.
“You are a nosy fucker, you know that?” He nods.
“I do. So, stop with the stalling and start talking.” He points at me, circling his finger.
“Things are good. He gives me what I need, and I give him what he needs.” I shrug, not delving into too much detail but knowing this nosy bunch, they will ask for more.
“And by needs, you mean...?” Clark rolls his hands, the universal sign for me to carry on.
“Sex. Comfort.” I sip my drink.
“Woman, it is like pulling teeth with you.” Skyla winks at me, at Clark’s reply.
I sigh, shifting in my seat. “Fine. Sex is off the charts. He is everything I knew he would be. We found out that we both like certain things in the bedroom, so we are exploring that.”
“What things? Pray tell, my darlin’,” Clark asks.
“We both like blood play,” I rush out.
“What is that?” Eva’s question is a slur.
My gaze flickers to the people waiting for me to answer. Rocky winks; he knows what I am talking about, and Skyla gives me a nod of encouragement.
“It is where we taste each other’s blood, while having sex. It adds to the sensation and intensity of the moment.”
Eva’s eyes go wide as she looks at me. “I have never heard of that before. Do humans do that or is it just a vampire thing?”
She sounds intrigued.
“I have known some humans who do it too, but since vampires feed off blood, I can only assume that they enjoy it. It heightens the intensity of sex.”
“Tate is good at the sex thing,” she replies.
“I love you, sister, but I do not need to hear about you having coitus with your man,” Rocky whines.
“Coitus? Really?” I laugh at him.
“I know I am a sexy ball of muscle, but I know big words,” he scoffs before taking a pull of his beer.
“I mean, yeah sure, you know big words.” I bounce my eyebrows at him.
He returns my look with narrowed eyes, but I know it is in good nature.
“This thing with you and Thorin—it is happening and you are happy?” Clark queries.
I nod. "Yeah. We have talked. Not as deep as I would like, but he knows that he hurt me and that will take some time to forgive, but I do not think I will ever forget. It hurt my heart pretty bad; you all saw it. There is no future if you keep looking back, though.”
“When did you get all Yoda-like?” Skyla taps her foot on mine.
“Being in the club you learn things, see things from a different perspective. I do not fully know why Thorin did what he did, but he seems different now. I am not excusing his actions, but he is trying.”
“Has he told you why he hurt you?” Rocky asks.
“NO.” I sigh. “Maybe I should push for him to tell me, so I know the reason. It could maybe help me understand a bit more.”
“He is a lot like Reece, Del. He has a dark past that he carried with him and used it as a reason to not do something that he was meant to do. Like claim me, and after he told me why, I got it, but like you said, that does not excuse the pain he caused,” Skyla explains.
She is right. Most of the men in this club come from dark pasts. Or have had to deal with some shit linked to their powers. I know that Oryn struggled with his power of seeing and speaking to the dead. His parents would hire him out for his powers. It hurt him and caused a lot of damage.
“I know. These men are complicated.”
“But so hot.” Eva burps.
“Now that, we agree on, sister.” Clark clinks his glass with hers.
“Do not tell Tate that I said that.” Eva’s eyes go wide, and we laugh.
“I think Tate would go all possessive man on you if he heard you speaking about other men.” I wink at her.
“Oh, maybe I should try it. We like rough sex,” she adds.
“Okay, Missy, I think you need to be cut off.”
“Oh, rough sex can be so fun,” Clark adds.
“I agree.” I high-five him. “Besides having sex with Thorin and not including what the fuckers did to me, I have had sex with three other people, and it was nice. Not off the charts like it is with my man, but good. One liked it rough and opened my eyes to the darker side of sex, so I explored it. Knowing Thorin like I do, I know that he will be more than willing to try things with me.” I wink, smiling slyly at my friend.
“You are one lucky bitch to have a man like that. He is hot, intense, my kind of man.” Clark grins.
“Well, find your own, you whore.” He bounces his eyebrows, making me giggle.
“I plan to. It is a shame that no man in the club likes dick. Mine is so pretty.”
I look at Clark. “Did you just say that your dick is pretty?”
“I did. I have been told many times that I have a nice dick.” He shrugs.
“It is because they wanted to get laid, man,” Rocky jokes.
“Fuck off, man.”
I watch as the two men banter, smiling at their good-natured vibe. They are like brothers who do not share blood. Skyla has told me about their past, and I love that they all had each other.
“She has passed out.” Skyla nods her head at Eva, who is slumped in her seat.
“I will text Tate to come and pick her up,” Rocky says, fishing his phone out of his pocket.
He types out a text, dropping the phone onto the table next to him. The three friends look at a sleeping Eva, smiling. The love that they have for each other makes me jealous that I never had that.
My family was shit, so I never felt love until I met my ex, and look how that turned out. He used my neglected heart to use me, to hurt me. It was the club who made me see what friendship, brotherhood, and a made family looked like, and it mended a part of my heart.
“I love what you all have,” I blurt out, causing three sets of eyes to look at me.
“We are a found family, from broken bloodlines, babe. We all went through something shitty that no kid should, but we got through it with each other,” Skyla tells me.
“What she said. Our stories are different but bad all the same. Same with you, honey. What happened to you was horrific but look at you now. You are strong, feisty, and sexy as fuck,” Rocky adds.
“And you have a found family of your own, plus a man who will literally kill for you,” says Clark.
He is right; the club are my family, and yes, Thorin would kill anyone who hurts me. Hell, he already has.
“Do not let her man hear you calling her sexy,” Skyla jests, easing the suddenly deep conversation among us.
“He is testy when it comes to people using endearments for me.” I laugh.
“I like that in a man,” Clark swoons.
“Oh, we definitely need to find you a man with a touch of darkness and possessiveness in him,” I inform him.
His face lights up, his smile wide. “Oh, please, yes. What I would give to be thrown down on the bed and ravished hard and dirty,” Clark gushes, his eyes glassy from the alcohol.
“Be careful what you wish for, man,” Rocky adds, pointing at me. “You might get a vampire like her.”
“I can dream, brother.” Clark winks at the man.
Shaking his head, Rocky finishes his drink.
“Being with a vampire is not as bad as people think. If you overlook all the bad that they have caused in history, see past the folklore that is told, you will see people with strong protective instincts. Someone who will love fiercely but also, they come with plenty of experience.”
“Like worldly experience?” Clark inquires, leaning forward.
“Worldly. And sexually.” I wink at him.
His eyes light up with wonder and he looks to Rocky.
“I need me a vampire man that likes dick.”
“If I remember correctly, most vampires, both male and female, are not single-minded when it comes to their bedmates. They are very highly sexually charged, so as long as they have fun and orgasms, they will sleep with almost anyone,” I add on.
“Has Thorin been with a man?”
“I do not know. I will have to ask him,” I reply with a giggle.
Thinking of Thorin, I could never see him in bed with another man. Maybe in an orgy situation, but never just him and a man. I will have to inquire about that with him.
I will not share him, so that kind of thing will never touch our sex life, and if he pushes for it, then it will be time to walk away completely. I have shared him enough over the years.
It is our time and I will not let anyone stop that from happening.
