“Anything for you,Tesoro.” I wish he didn’t have to go away when the sun comes up, like a vampire Cinderella. “Do you mind if I have a driver take us though, so we can get in the tinted backseat? A little extra sun protection.”
“Mmmhmm, that might actually work out better anyway.” He pops an eyebrow up at my comment and I give him a sly smile.
A few hours later, Bash leaves to go get the car and the driver. I am nearing last call when the mysterious man who yelled at me as he was dragged from the bar sits down in front of me.
“Chardonnay, s'il vous plaît.” He has a French accent—not in the way that cajuns do—like a from-France French accent. I set the glass down in front of him and walk away. I feel his gaze on me as I finish up my work.
“That is a very nice necklace you have there.”
“Thank you, it was a gift,” I tell him, though why I am talking to him, I don’t know.
“It must be quite special.” He puts some money on the counter and he is gone as quickly as he appeared.
Not half a minute later, Bash walks in the door, tall andintimidating. He has unbuttoned the buttons of his polo shirt and I can glimpse a black swirl up toward his neck. With his hair looking windswept from him running his hands through it, I’m struck by how scary he could look if he wanted. But like this, he looks like the best thing I can imagine.
“Ready,Tesoro?”
“Ready.”
In the back of the blacked-out SUV, I look over and smile in his direction. It feels calm and peaceful in this little dark cocoon. Sliding off the seat onto the floor, I look up at him, a mischievous smile playing around my lips. He studies me intently as I move into the space between his spread knees. Suspiciously, but not unhappily, he says down to me, “What are you doing, baby?”
Grabbing his belt buckle, I pull his belt loose and unbutton his pants. Slowly, pulling the zipper down, I reach inside and palm his cock through his underwear. He leans his head back, exhaling slowly as he begins to harden in my hand.
“Fuck,” he hisses through his clenched teeth, as I pull his hard length from his pants. Stroking him slowly from base to tip, I follow my hand with my tongue and he shivers. Wrapping my lips fully around the head, I slide him into my mouth and down my throat until I gag a little. His hands run up the sides of my neck and twine into my hair, guiding me slowly down until I have as much of him in my mouth as I can. I swallow and suck until his hands start to shake. His cock fills my mouth and throat completely, and I’m forced to choose between him and oxygen, so I hold my breath, choking on him.
Letting go, I take over sliding my mouth up and down, creating suction and trying to push him as far into my throat as I can. Pulling him completely out of my mouth, drool runs down my chin. Lowering my head, I tighten my hand and twist it while sucking his head between my lips, using his foreskin tocreate the friction I know he is looking for. His hips buck slightly up from the seat.
“Baby, that is the hottest fucking thing I have ever seen. Can you take more of me? How far can you go? Yes, fuck, just like that.” The words stream from his mouth like he can’t control them. Pushing myself to the limit, I gag around him until tears run down my face.
“Don’t stop baby. I’m going to come, fuck, fuck.” His cock swells in my mouth as I use my hand and mouth in tandem, my spit soaking both of us. With a growl, he pushes my head all the way down and comes down my throat. He breathes loud and fast, head pressed against the headrest.
Looking down at me again, a blissful look on his face, he grabs me under my arms and hauls me into his lap. He hugs me to his chest, murmuring contently. We pull up to the curb in front of the house as he runs his fingers under my eyes to clean up my tears and mascara. He kisses each eyelid.
Grabbing my face with both hands, he says, “How do you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Make me love you?” I drop my head, inhaling sharply, a blush creeping up my cheeks. “Don’t worryTesoro, I loved you before the best blow job I’ve ever had—I know you’re the perfect girl for me. But I know you might not be there yet. That’s ok, I can wait.”
“Bash I-” My voice falters, my heart is cracking open and I know he can see it in my eyes. My heart almost explodes with the love and sincerity I find when he looks at me, how open he looks. I know that Sarah is right. I feel it in my heart that this is right.
“Shhh, beautiful girl, come here. Say whatever you need to say, or don’t, but do not hide from me.” He pulls my head to his chest and holds me for a few moments. “Go home, go to sleep. Iwill be there tonight.” He gives me a light slap on my ass, which is completely out of my skirt and I yelp.
Inside the house, Grand-mere is waiting for me.
“So, you promise not to make a spectacle of yourself on my front lawn with that blood-sucker, and instead you, what? Fool around in the car? In front of the house?”
“Grand-mere, we were only talking. Why are you being like this? I’m not a child—why are you treating me like one?”
“Do you think this is love? He doesn’t love you, you are just a toy to play with while he’s bored of immortality. You’re weak for believing him. Do you think for one minute that he won’t throw you away and move on with his life?”
“I’m not weak,” I whisper. “Why are you saying these things?”
“Because you’re acting like it. You’re disregarding my request to stop ‘dating’ that vampire. You won’t listen to me. You’re putting yourself in danger and acting like none of it matters. If you want to keep up this vampire romance, you need to do it elsewhere. Otherwise, act like an almost 30 year old woman andknock it off.”
She’s right about one thing.
I am almost 30 and still living at home, no husband, barely a, what? Boyfriend? Is Bash my boyfriend? No plans for the future. Once Grand-mere is gone, what then? I’ll be here in this house, alone? Sarah will have Ethan, for better or worse. I will just be here, alone. I never wanted children—this is a terribly dangerous place to raise children. I wonder how Bash feels about children? He will have babies one day, with his bound wife. The idea of him binding himself to someone else for all of eternity and having children with them makes me flinch to myself. Is that his future? What is our future?
