Finally "home"

[Dane]

Her unbridled cry of passion was music to his ears. This was why he had given up on human lovers years ago. The power and speed at which he moved with would have been bone crushing for the weaker species. Even some of the coven's younger vampires did not have the strength to withstand the vampire king let loose. There was nothing less encouraging then snapping a lover into two. Suitable mates for him were few and far in between. Lucia did not only manage to cope with his strength, but seemed to relish it. Every movement he made was met with reassurance, and little by little he showed less restraint. The furniture underneath them began to shake, the paintings on the wall rattled loudly alongside the sound of shattering glass.

Dane began to lose himself to the sensation brought to him by the warmth between her legs. A haze seemed to glaze over his eyes while he let a loud moan slip from his lips. "Lucia." He gasped her name. Her body seemed to glisten under the thin coat of sweat that covered her body. Though his grip was tight he was beginning to feel her slip through his fingers. He once again clutched her tighter, almost painfully, but it was necessary. She was so close he had no intent to stop or break their rhythm, and he was so close to joining her. Reeling his head back, he felt all thoughts escape his mind. As he felt himself on the verge of no return the only thing that mattered was having his moment of bliss.

Dane's fingers digging into her hips, his nails sinking into her flesh, holding her ever tighter, pulling her closer to the Vampire than she thought possible, felt more like playful pinches and loving kisses than a desperate clawing at her. There was something so disarming and enticing, something so blissfully carnal and satisfying about hearing her name uttered in such a tone of uncontrolled passion that pushed Lucia passed the breaking point. Every inch of her body seized, one hand grabbed the couch while the other reached for Dane's wrist, clenching tight. A warm wave of pleasure surged up through her body, filling her lungs and chest as a final cry escaped.

While everything that had happened in the last hour of the night had been a first for the girl, what she was feeling now was foreign on so many levels Lucia didn't know what to do. All she could do was hold on for dear sanity; and all she knew was she didn't want this to end. The feeling of being pushed to the brink had passed. She'd felt the full extent of Dane's lust and had survived; passed with flying colors. The ecstasy that Lucia felt at the mercy of the Vampire King was powerful enough she wanted to call out to the unholy lord, praising Dane's prowess. The pulse of pure, unfiltered pleasure that raced through her held the girl still for what felt like an endless eternity; and after it passed, all she felt was glory and a strange sense of peace, unlike anything she'd felt before. The world outside could be burning and crashing to its end for all she knew, and the only things that mattered were her and Dane right now.

After the majority of the sensation passed, Lucia was still left with a subtle tingly feeling that filled her entire body, making her limbs feel rubbery. Slowly relaxing again, the Hybrid pried her hands away from where she was gripping. It hadn't felt like it at the time, but it became clear she'd been squeezing so hard her knuckles turned white, and she flexed her fingers, trying to get the feeling back in them.

Leaning forward, she rested a hand on the Vampire's chest, and the other on the couch behind his neck. Strands of hair fell over he shoulder, and the girl smiled softly, looking at Dane. Nothing in her wanted to move just yet, but in all honesty, she didn't think she had the strength or feeling back to stand just yet, even if she'd wanted to.

A smirk creased Dane's lips once Lucia clenched her wrist. He could feel her body tighten as she screamed once again. Little to him was sweeter than a woman's involuntary cry. The knowledge that he had dominated her, that he had done his part was surprisingly gratifying. He continued to push through her climax striving for his own, his pace never diminishing. Now, there was no need to delay it any further. Feeling the heat within him reached a peak he held her against him closely, he visibly tensed before lurching forward against her, a grunt escaping him. Satisfaction followed immediately, slowly filling his body as he fell back against the couch his shoulders slumping. His fingers finally releasing Lucia slid down her body to rest by his sides.

Dane was usually not one to let his desires get the best of him. He considered himself civilized. Surrendering to ones emotions was the behavior of a savage. In some ways he had done exactly that. Lucia had made it too tempting and easy. Alone and vulnerable in his apartment, it was an opportunity too sweet pass on. Part of him wanted to be disappointed in his actions, but at the same time he knew this was inevitable. It was always one of his intentions for her. She had caught Dane's eye the second he encountered her in Rome. Her beauty, her relation to Alena, the schoolgirl crush he knew she had for him. This moment was sealed long ago he supposed. As long as it didn't come back to bite him in the ass it was worth it, he felt damn good. After the punishment his body suffered at the hands of the lycan queen the peace it now felt was unrivaled. This was what he needed, and it was well deserved.

He returned Lucia's smile. She seemed sated, he on the other hand, though feeling satisfied was ready to take her again. His desire was not so easily quenched and exhaustion was of no concern to him. Unfortunately there was a battle to be fought, now was not the time to be a glutton and wear her out or drive her mad with lust. "You performed beautifully my dear." He lifted his hand to her cheek, gingerly caressing it before leaning forward and briefly kissing her lips. "If there was not a war to be fought I would take you through the day. Consider your self lucky." His smirked returned, as always devious. "We should find some rest." His free hand slowly ran up and down her side admiring her shape eventually settling on her leg. The other slid down to her back. Easily lifting Lucia up and free of him he scooped into his arms; certain that she would find movement more difficult than usual. If not, who didn't enjoy being carried to bed? He glanced down at her; his teeth visible through his grin as he made his way to his room, up the stairs and down the hall way. Stepping inside he kicked the door shut behind them.

Holding on to Dane as he finished, the girl couldn't help but beam in satisfaction that she's helped the Vampire achieve such physical pleasure. She relished his touch even after everything else stopped, leaning in subtly as Dane caressed her cheek and rose to kiss her. His words flattered her. This was beautiful, she thought; and she did feel lucky to have won the attention and affection of the Vampire King.

Lucia gasped as Dane pulled her free of him, but she squealed in laughter as he swept her up into his arms and carried her off. She leaned up a little, nibbling playfully at the Vampire's neck with her front teeth, taking care to remain conscious that her fangs would not break skin. As they neared the bedroom, the Hybrid nuzzled close to his chest, feeling the first signs of sleepiness come over her. While her body hadn't taken too much damage at the mansion, Dane had sufficiently worn her out here. The girl's internal clock was also starting to catch up with her, telling her that daylight was quickly approaching.

Sleep started to take hold of the young Hybrid, even in Dane's arms. She felt safe here, safe and wanted, but a quiet part in the back of her mind worried that this would end. Lucia worried she would wake and this all would have been a dream. Gripping one of Dane's shoulders, the girl held tight to him, taking in his scent. "I don't wish to sleep..." The battle was already lost, though, and Lucia fell into a deep sleep.

"Hm." He sighed pleasantly as Lucia tickled him with her teeth. Though Dane appeared to welcome her touch in truth it made him uneasy. His hand was ready to yank her back hair if her teeth broke skin. " Tease me at your own peril Lucia. I bite twice as hard." His bedroom was much like the rest of his apartment, plain but luxurious. A fancy computer sat on his desk, his king sized bed soft and draped in silk sheets, across from it hung a needlessly large television. "Nobody ever truly wishes.. to sleep." The vampire glanced down at Lucia, she had fallen into a slumber within his arms. "Unfortunately it's a necessity." He mumbled to himself. Sleep was something his body now rarely craved. Once a young bat it came easily before every day break. His need for sleep dissipated as his resistance to the sun increased. Now he was hard pressed to ever find rest. Not that he needed it often. Although after his encounter with Alena, perhaps he would find its comfort.

The vampire laid Lucia softly onto the mattress and took a step back. Licking his lips Dane's eyes scanned Lucia's exposed body. The things he could do to her right now. Alas now was not the time. Fighting back his vile thoughts he pulled the sheets over her. Eventually he would lay beside the girl. If he could not find sleep at least she would be pleased to awake with him by her side. His thoughts returned to the matter a hand. Any wholeness or satisfaction he once felt had quickly vanished replaced by the usual void. Though instead of its usually company; an unsureness of what the future had in store for him, certainty took its place. He was ready to take control of his own fate. No more wondering when his time would come. There was no eternal hellscape awaiting him. He would not die. In a days time the lycan's would suffer a crushing defeat. Alena his largest threat would be eliminated, and shortly after they would all follow. There would be no one strong enough to challenge him. The humans would bow to his might, and he would rule this planet for all of time.
