Chapter 25
Chapter Twenty-Five
Ilay in my tear-soaked bed with my knees tucked to my chest, wondering if I had another ounce of water in my body.
It’d been years since I’d cried so uncontrollably.
It was one of those scream into a pillow, rip your heart out, and try to catch your breath before you pass out kind of cries. The kind when you’re really hurt.
There was so much I wasn’t able to fully express to Jude.
My dad was the catalyst for the end of the world.
He made several copies of me, hoping to find one whose blood would serve his purpose.
Were all the failed experiments considered my brothers?
Through the years, this man’s power remained absolute, using his pack of Dogs to intimidate both humans and vampires, a constant threat fostering an atmosphere of fear and division.
He did all of this. And he used me to do it.
To him, I was nothing more than a tool for power.
While he took away my own.
My body felt like a shell of itself. Completely hollow.
My entire being was pouring out from my eyes and soaking into the rough sheets beneath me.
My heaving sobs subsided, leaving me breathless and weighed down by exhaustion.
I didn’t want to continue…both on this journey and in life.
I guess that’s what happens when someone you love dies in your mind.
I’d been lost and consumed in my thoughts for what seemed like hours, slowly letting my thoughts eat away at my sanity.
The sudden pressure of a strong arm encircled me, their body a comforting weight against mine.
The scent of dirt and campfire engulfed my nostrils.
Jude. When did he get here? How didn’t I hear him enter?
He nuzzled his head into my neck, lightly kissing my shoulder. “I’m not here to make a move.” His voice was soft and caring. “I just don’t want you to feel alone.”
I let him hold me. I needed it.
From the moment I was kidnapped by the humans, I knew Jude was my safety.
I may have hated him and didn’t fully trust him at the time, but I knew he would protect me.
And he continued to do it. This was different for me.
I wasn’t used to someone caring for my feelings and showing physical emotion.
I knew Gabe loved me, but it was always hard for me to get him to show affection.
He had the capability, but it didn’t come as easily as it did for Jude.
My body relaxed, and I eased into him; it was like our souls were merging. His excitement pressed against my back, his breath warm on my neck. I knew even though he was excited, he’d never act upon his desires. For that, it made me want him more.
I flipped around and burrowed my face into his warm, pillowy chest, my arms holding him tight.
Venturing a glance at him, I saw the ghost of a smile on his lips as he lifted his hand, his touch gentle as he tucked my wild hair behind my ear.
Heat rushed to my cheeks, turning them pink as I rubbed his back, feeling the warmth of his skin through my palm.
I lifted my head and felt the soft, warm press of two plump lips against mine. The kiss was tender but full of passion. White hot lust radiated off each of our bodies, tugging at our clothes as if they were expected to melt off.
And I knew I needed more.
I reached my arm out and grasped his underwear, feeling his girth in my hand. I began stroking him through the soft fabric, hearing his breathing grow heavier with each flick of my wrist.
“Vinny,” he breathed. “This wasn’t why I came in here.”
I look down. Boxers? The least sexy underwear. Maybe humans wore them because they’re easy to make with limited material? A low groan escaped his lips, barely audible, and I pushed the thought out of my head to focus on the task at hand.
Literally.
“I want you to fuck me,” he moaned. His breathing became labored, and his eyes rolled back in his head. “I need to know how it feels.”
“Okay.” I nodded and bit my lip. “But I need you to fuck me, too. I need to feel something.”
In response, Jude yanked his shirt over his head, and I shoved him onto his back with a grunt.
Pulling myself close to his warm body, I lightly licked his neck, and his body squirmed beneath me.
His movements as he slipped out of his boxers were so deliberate, it was clear he was ready, and the sound of his cock smacking against his abdomen confirmed it.
“Suck my cock.”
I bent down and took him into my mouth, savoring the taste of the member I fantasized about since that night in the barn. Feeling his legs around my shoulders, I ran my tongue along the rim of his head, savoring the moment.
“Just like that,” he breathed. “But be careful—I don’t want you to get me close.”
His back arched, causing his hole to come dangerously close to my pelvis. Reaching my fingers to my mouth, I generated enough lubrication before placing one hand on his chest as I inserted myself. As soon as I passed through, I threw my head backward.
Damn, he felt good.
I inched myself further and further inside, careful not to go too quickly.
I didn’t want to hurt him; I wanted him to enjoy every second of this.
His body took well to my cock because after a few moments, he was able to fit my entire manhood, and his body wrapped around me.
I slowly began to rock my hips in a circular motion, and Jude grasped my hand.
“Holy,” he breathed, “fuck.”
I looked down at him, feeling powerful. This man was looking at me like I was his god. His eyes were full of light, and his mouth agape as he watched me thrust in and out of him. With each movement I made, Jude expelled a breath of air like he died and came back to life.
I wished I had fangs, so he would be able to feel the intense pleasure of sex with a vampire. I wanted to feel in control. With a sigh, I moved my hands from his chest and clasped them around his neck. “Do you like this?”
A surprised twitch of his face showed in his wide, startled eyes.
Maybe he was scared? He didn’t resist or respond, so I continued tightening my fingers around his throat.
My cock swelled as it slid in and out of him, as pleasure painted his face.
I didn’t clasp as hard as I wanted, only enough to put a slight, controlled pressure on his neck.
I should have been nervous he wasn’t into it, but I was having too much fun to care.
I could kill him right here if I wanted to.
Jude’s breath quickened, and desire blazed in his expression as I pressed against his thighs, putting me further inside him than I’d ever been before. His cock was wet from precum and from inside my palm, and a moan traveled from his esophagus and out his mouth. He liked this.
Pressure built inside me, and I knew if I stayed in Jude, it would be over. I needed more from him. “Let’s switch, I want you to fuck me, Jude.”
“Huh?”
“I said. Fuck. Me.” I gently withdrew my throbbing cock from his quivering ass and positioned myself on all fours, eager for his response.
“I-I’m so close, though.”
“I don’t care,” I barked at him. “Just fuck me.”
As he positioned himself behind me, I heard a sound escape from his lips and felt the warmth of his head against my core. He reached for my hip bones before ushering himself inside. His girth expanded gradually with each slow stroke, reaching deeper inside me.
“Fuck me, Jude,” I begged. “Harder.” Feeling his movement quicken, I let out a satisfied moan. I needed this. I needed him. His perfectly timed thrusts sent waves of pleasure through me, causing me to let out unrestrained moans as he hit just the right spot.
Oh my God, his cock felt amazing. Heavenly.
Biting his bottom lip, Jude loosened his grip on me, slowing his pace. “You okay?”
I needed more. I twisted my head around and looked deep into his eyes, gritting my teeth. “Shut the fuck up and keep going.”
His lips curved into a smirk as he spun me around, his manhood never leaving my center. His arms held me close, and my cock twitched every time he administered long, intentional strokes. With a forceful touch, he grabbed my inner thigh, urging me to welcome him even further.
“I want to watch you come.”
His entire length was inside me, the pleasure radiating out of my every pore. My knee was near my ear, and the warmth of his breath was on my cheek. I was captivated by the way his mouth hung slightly open, and his eyes would roll intermittently as he thrust into me.
“Oh fuck,” he whispered.
I whimpered, feeling my legs begin to shake as he pumped harder.
I felt my orgasm building to its peak as the pressure mounted inside me.
Stretching my leg over his shoulder, Jude’s cock found its place perfectly, and a rush of euphoria pulsed in my core.
I struggled to see clearly as a surge of pleasure consumed me as ropes burst from my cock, painting my stomach and chest.
“Oh my God, Vinny.” Jude’s face twisted, and his eyebrows furrowed. He pinched his eyelids closed and let out a series of moans, his face looking as if he found paradise.
Maybe he had.
His cock pulsed inside me, twitching uncontrollably.
He released my leg from his grip before entirely collapsing on top of me.
His blond hair tickled my chin as his head lay atop my chest, his light chest hair sticky with our aftermath.
He hadn’t removed himself from me, and although he wasn’t as strongly erect anymore, I could still feel him.
“I-I’m sorry,” Jude whispered, his breath blowing across my nipples like a gust of wind. “I should’ve made it last longer.”
Threading my fingers through his hair, I put my other hand over his arm. “It was perfect, stop apologizing.” We lay together for a few moments, our breaths completely in sync.
“I just want to be as good as-as-what’s his name?”
A pain pierced my chest just before the sounds of shouting and crashing echoed from the hallway.
A terrifying yell ripped through the air, followed by the sickening thud of bodies repeatedly slamming against the outside wall.
A loud crash, followed by shouts and the scrambling of feet, echoed down the hallway toward my room, making me strain to hear what was going on.
I heard one man say, “apprehend his hands,” while another yelled, “stop fighting or we’ll sedate you. ”
The next sound I heard caused my body to freeze. I knew Jude could feel something was wrong the moment my muscles tensed, a cold sweat prickling my skin, and a strangled gasp tore from my chest. From the hallway, a man’s voice, strong and resonant, echoed, each word distinct and clear.
“Where’s Vincent, you fucks? I need to see him! brING ME TO HIM.”
It was Gabe. He was here.
