Part 5

Vega had been gone a week and the castle had fallen into an uneasy calm, the arrival of Fayna and Nahele had been greeted with solemn excitement.  The pair were given a good meal and shown to their room where they slept till the following night. In the hall they were introduced to Cailean and Lykaios, Fayna was nervous at first but Cailean allayed his fears and soon the two where deep in conversation although he was not so sure of his brother. Lykaios was itching to go to Kelsa but his duties required him to stay here. Since his first bite he had gone to Kelsa every night and repeated the action, Kelsa had been sick since but she refused to allow him to send for help.

Eirene entered the hall, her quiet calm and grace seemed to have an effect on everyone around her. “You are Nahele a Teleri” Nahele nodded, Fayna stood and bowed “I am……” Eirene stopped him “I know who you are Fayna of Eriedge, you are Arla’s son” Fayna nodded surprised that she had heard of him. “I know all about you Fayna son of Arla and Adam, you had a sister, Sorcha” Again Fayna nodded. Eirene smiled “She was my Mother” Fayna landed on his seat with a thump “I didn’t know” he knew his sister had lived with them, had died here but a child and the eyes, was she Vampire? Eirene sat beside him and took his hand “There is much to talk about” Lykaios turned and headed for the stairs.

Entering the room he found Kelsa waiting for him, he dreaded it, each time grew harder and harder, not with thirst but desire, he wanted her. “The others are talking?” she stated, Lykaios nodded “You are looking better” She nodded, the first few bites had been agony, her body burned but as it went on it grew less her body growing accustomed to the alien life force flowing through her, last night had hardly affected her. Lykaios took her hand and flipped it over but she pulled it away, undoing the ties from her hair she turned her neck towards him “Here, you must do it here” Lykaios backed away “No, I cannot, it would mean……” Kelsa went towards him; her body brushed against his “You must, call it a test the last one”

Lykaios stared at her neck, the slight movement of her pulse, he couldn’t that spot was for feeding and….. he wouldn’t have the control. Sensing his reluctance she pressed against him craning her neck as close to him a possible “You must” His eyes burned like fire his teeth flashed as he thought of her blood, bending down he gave a small bite then went to pull away, he felt her hand on his head holding him their “Yes” she murmured breathlessly, his fangs sank into her as far as they would go. He hadn’t noticed before but her blood tasted sweet, the sweetest he had ever had almost like honey, he growled as his arm wrapped round her the other holding the back of her head, his control was slipping.

She had never experienced anything like it, all the poisons, all the daggers and swords she had felt was nothing compared to this. She moaned softly, her chest rose and fell heavily as her life was changing forever. Her arms slid round his neck causing the fire within Lykaios to erupt, removing his fangs he slid them along her neck making her squeal. His hand slid up to one of her breasts as his mouth met and plundered hers. Kelsa’s hand fell to his crotch causing a growl to escape his throat, undoing the ties on her clothes he let them slip to the floor revealing the most beautiful body, her pale blue skin seemed to shimmer in the torch light.

Pulling off his top she let her hands wander over his bare torso, she had never felt such cool skin before or such strong muscles. Lykaios was vehement, in all his years none of the woman he had had affected him so much. Her skin was warm; something he hadn’t felt since before his rebirth and it was exquisite. His tongue lingered over her skin, etching her taste into his mind; pushing her against the wardrobe he grabbed her hair forcing her head to his, his lips crushing hers. Pressing himself against her he savoured the feeling of her naked body against his.

Kelsa’s hands slid round his back and down to his buttocks, she felt the muscles twitch at her touch, Her hand took his manhood and gently caressed it causing Lykaios to groan deeply, with a sudden sweep of his arm he sent everything on the dresser scattering across the room, lifting her he placed her on top and entered her. Kelsa arched her back and cried out as his thickness filled her, clutching the dresser she let the wave of elation consume her.  Burying his head in her hair Lykaios thrust his hips, each movement more powerful than the last.

She felt herself losing control, her body burned, her crotch ached, digging her nails into his flesh she went rigid as her body let him release her. Feeling her climax he thrust once more letting his own essence flow. Straddling his hips she pressed herself against him, her head resting on his shoulder. Lykaios wasn’t finished, taking her to the bed he eased her onto him, Kelsa groaned as he filled her once more, as his fangs scraped along her breasts.

Kelsa lay curled up in a ball, asleep. Lykaios listened to her breathing, felt her warm skin under his cool touch, by Orean his feelings for her were strong. Sliding from the bed he quietly dressed and putting a blanket over her left the room.

Eirene looked up as Lykaios entered the room, there was something about him, he was more relaxed then she’d ever seen him. Searching his mind she found the reason and smiled. “How is Kelsa?” Lykaios shot her a look of daggers. “I know what you have been doing, Quella have never been able to take Vampire blood” Turning away he studied the carvings on the wall “And what if I did?” Eirene laughed “I am not here to judge, what will be, will be” Lykaios grunted but said nothing else. “She is interesting?” He nodded. “And she has spoken of her ways to you, her life” Again he nodded. Eirene stood and walked to the door, stopping she placed her hand on his shoulders “She must think highly of you to risk death”

With the knock at the door Shoid opened it and let him in “Welcome to Vaxur castle” Leading him into the hall Eirene introduced herself. “You are John Bishop of the mortal world” John nodded and took the seat offered. Eirene smiled “Now we are all here”
