Chapter 6
As we
walked inside Dante looked at me, then at Eva.
I knew what was on his mind but also knew that he was waiting for Eva’s
answer. I was curious as well, if she
said yes then I would get to take her as well, if she said no then I would be the
only one taken. I didn’t mind
pleasuring Dante myself, I enjoyt, bt, but sometimes I didn’t want to do it by
myself. He just looked at her, waiting.
She shook
her head, “I can’t stop thinking about what Alistair did to me.”
“You may
have all the time you need my dear.” He said, gently kissing her, “Whatever you
need.” He looked from her back to me, “I love you both very much.” He said,
kissing her again, “Let’s go Damien.” aid aid before walking away.
“Thank
you.” She whispered as I followed after him.
“A bath
first?” He asked as we walked down the hall.
“Whatever
you desire.” I said softly.
He
laughed, “Then a bath it is.” He said, opening the door to his favorite
bathroom, “Strip me.” He said, his voice almost urgent, as we walked inside and
closed the door.
Slowly I
began to unbutton his silk shirt. He
ran his fingers through my hair, down my throat, my shoulders.

of his arms. Gently he pulled me up,
tracing my scar slowly. Carefully he
began to lay wet kisses down it. I
pulled him away and dropped to my knees.
“It is my
duty to pleasure you.” I whispered, unbuttoning the snap on his pants.
He drew
me up and used me for support so he could pull off his boots, then remove
mine. With his unnatural strength he
tore the leather from my legs. Easily,
he picked me up and threw me into the large bath. Water splashed up around me, lingling over the edge.
breath. He was getting in when I
regained myself. He was like a force of
nature, blind in his passion. He
pressed me against the edge of the bath, forcing my stomach against the cold
tile. I relaxed completely so his
entrance wouldn’t hurt me. I felt him
press against, ready, and then he was within.
I shuddered as he began to move.
“Damien,”
He whispered in my ear, “thank you.”
I let out
a soft cry of pleasure as he took me in his hand. He moved with it, matching the pace in my body with that of his
hand. We came at once, I cried out and
he sank his teeth into my throat, taking small sips. I collapsed against the side of the bath and Dante lay against
me. He nuzzled against my neck,
breathing in my scent.
“Let’s
bathe, then we need to go to bed.
Morning is on its way.” He whispered as he removed my collar and began
to wash my body.
I sank
against him, having the sudden desire to be held.es"> He wrapped his arms around me and washed my chest.
his room. Eva and Cyrus were already in
bed.
“You can
either sleep with us or in your room.” He said, crawling into bed on the other
side of Eva.
I crawled
in next to Cyrus, not wanting to walk all the way to my room.
fell asleep. I awoke to the sound of
pounding on the main door. No one else
in the room was awake and I was curious.
Quietly I got out of bed, put on a crimson robe, and made my way through
the halls. Alex was walking the othway way and I stopped him.
“Did you
answer the door?” I asked softly. He
nodded, “Who is it?”
“Alexandria,
backed by a couple of feds.” He replied, “I need to get Dante, it’s him they
want.”
“Take
your time, I want to talk to them.” I said softly, “If Dante asks, you never
saw me.”
“Alright.”
He said with a smile.
I nodded
and continued to the main door. When I
arrived I opened it. I wanted to meet
with them first, before Dante came.
Alexandria glared at me as I opened the door.
“Dante is
on his way but I thought we could talk until his arrival.” I smiled at her,
“Tell me something,” I said, leaning against the doorframe, “What have you come
for this time? Another unfounded
accusation?”
She was
st fot for a moment, “Murder.” She said simply.
I
laughed, “Again? Who is it this time?”
“She is
not at liberty to say.” One of the agents behind her said.
I looked
over at him, “Then perhaps you can tell me.”
“I could
but I’m not going to.” He said smartly.
“Alright,
I understand.” I pushed off from the door, “It was good seeing you again
Alexandria, but remember, by having this personal vendetta against Dante you’re
hurting Eva.” As I turned away from her Dante stepped around the corner.
crimson, “Master.” I said softly.
“Stay
Damien.” He said, urinuring me with his eyes.
“Yes
master.” I turned back around and leaned against the wall.
“Alexandria,
welcome, once again, to my home. It is
a pleasure to see you.” Dante said, giving her his most charming smile.
“I want
to know one thing before we begin, where is my sister?”
Dante
laughed, “Still asleep.” He said simply.
“You are
a lord but that does not grant you the right to kill a senator.” She said
quickly, losing her temper. One of the
men behind her shook his head.
Dante
looked aghast, my face mimicked his expression, “How dare you.” Dante snarled,
“How dare you accuse me of murder!” He was enraged, “You foolish human!
He growled, pointing over their shoulders, “If you ever set foot here again
without proper authorization then I will see to it that you are punished to the
full extent of the law, and it will not be your laws!” He shouted.
I closed
my eyes, “He was with me last night.” I said calmly, “There is no way that he
could have killed the senator.” I was being the voice of reason for once, I was
remaining calm, “I suggest you leave, you have nothing against my master, or
anyone else here. It all comes back to
you, you and your desire to see my master dead because you do not think it’s
right that he has Eva’s heart and her body.”
She
glared at me, Dante was shaking with rage, his finger still pointed out, “You
are both sick.” She said before turning on her heals and striding away.
The two
men turned and followed her without a word, they were afraid of my master and
rightly so. Once they were gone and I
had closed the door Dante slumped to the floor. I kneeled beside him, hesitant to touch him.
arms around him, drawing him against me.
He clung to me like a child, his nails dug into my arm, pinning the
satin robe to my flesh. I took in a
hiss of air and closed my eyes, gently stroking his head, trying to calm him.
“How dare
she, I will see to it that she suffers for this.” He hissed, “That little human
bitch.” He growled through clenched teeth.
“Master.”
I whispered, “Please, calm down. You
can’t blame her, she wants her sister back.”
“But
accusing me of murder?” He had stopped shaking and lay still in my arms, “That
is no way to ensure her safety, let alone the safety of her sister.
unless she does something that warrants it but Alexandria does not.”
“Threatening
Alexandria with harm to her sister is probably not the best way to go about
this.”
“I know.”
He said softly, “I wish it were that simple though.”
I
laughed, “It’s never that simple.”
He
laughed with me, “It should be interesting to see what happens when she comes
back. I hate to see what happened to
her because of what she blurted out.
Too bad she doesn’t…” He trailed off as if a thought came to him.
against me, almost afraid of what he was thinking. He shook his head, “No, I have too much to worry about right
now.”
I
scowled, “What is it master?” I asked softly.
He shook
his head and kissed my wrist, “Nothing, it is not a good idea for me to even
dwell on it. It would not be prudent
for me to take another slave at this time.
I have too many other things to deal with. Besides, it wouldn’t be good for Eva to have her sister around.”
“There
are others who could take her though, it doesn’t have to be you.

“Again,
that would put her in contact with one of her family members.” He thi thinking
this through carefully, “Cyrus doesn’t have time, neither does my third,
besides, the contact would still be too close.
I don’t want to go into this without thinking. If there is a way to make her stop without changing her life then
I will do so. I won’t kill her if I can
help it and there are other ways to make her stop. Threats will only make her pursue me harder and I don’t need that
right now.” He sighed, “Humanity is a plague.” He whispered, “They fear that
which they don’t understand and they don’t try to understand it.
after.” He closed his eyes and leaned his head against my shoulder, “I suppose
I can’t blame them, their lives are so short.
But they go through it so blindly, why can’t they just slow down for a
bit, take things as they come, and enjoy the world around them.” He laughed but
it was hollow, empty, and a little bitter, “I’m one to talk.
or my dear ones anymore.”
I brushed
a hand down his face, “You seemed to enjoy yourself last night, or was it just
my imagination?”
“I did,
but even vampires are never satisfied.
It’s never enough.” Dante curled himself up against me, running his
fingertips up and down my chest, “I remember when you were first given to
me. I sometimes wish that it could be
that way again.”
“Things
change master.” I whispered, his hands were cold but so was pan

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Neither of us had fed and I didn’t want to,
“Times change and we must change with them.
Humans continue to evolve, to adapt.
They no longer keep slaves, people appear free.” I paused, “But there is
still suffering. There will always be
suffering. Never enough food to go
around, people living in the streets.
When is that going to change?” I was starting to ramble, “We don’t
change.”
“But we
do.” He looked up at me, “We have to.
If we didn’t change we would still be in the Stone Age.
“I
haven’t though. I am still as I always
was, a pleasure slave.” I whispered.
He shook
his head, “No you’re not. You are my
companion, have been since the beginning.
You have evolved with the times, the dress, the mannerisms, even their
vulgar language.”
“Bull
shit.” I said, causing him to laugh and me to realize that he spoke the truth,
“Ok, maybe you’re right, I guess I have changed.”
“And it’s
nitenitely not for the worse.” He said, turning so that he was looking into my
eyes, “By changing we become more. You
shall see.” Gently he kissed me, “You feel like ice. Do I have to force feed you again?” He asked softly as he pulled
away. I looked away but kept my arms
wrapped around him, “Damien.” His said, his voice filled with warning.

are you going to resist your nature?”
“I’ll
resist as long as I can’t stand the sight of blood.” I said simply, closing my
eyes so I didn’t have to look at him.
Softly
his lips brushed against mine, “Look at me.” He whispered.

just wait fivefive hundred years for it to go away on its own.” I closed my
eyes, “Look at me Damien.” He demanded, “I want your full attention.” I
refused; I didn’t want to see him. A
sharp sting across my face made me open my eyes, “Do not disobey me again.” He
hissed, “You need to feed, I do not care if you can’t stand the thought of
feeding from life, that is not my concern, what I care about is your well
being.” I tried to turn away from him but he dug his fingertips into my cheeks,
“Damien, you’re testing my patience. I
do not like that. I do not want to
punish you, I do not want to harm you, but you are going too far.
have your full attention, and you have not done so. I can force you to, I can be cruel, you know this better than
anyone, but I do not desire to cause you harm.”
“I don’t
want to look at you, you can do what I cannot, you can feed without feeling
pity, without caring. I feel for them,
I don’t want to see them harmed and I know that I am doing exactly that.” I looked
in his eyes, just as he told me to, but I hated it.
“The only
way that you are ever going to be able to get over these feelings is by doing
what it is that causes them, by feeding.
I do not wish to force feed you but I will do whatever is necessary.” My
face was beginning to hurt. Gently he
removed his hands and slowly massaged my flesh, “It’s time to feed, you must be
hungry.” He said with a smile.
“I am but
I do not wish to feed.” I said softly as he got to his feet.
He pulled
me up, “Who do you wish to take from?” He asked, ignoring my protests as he led
me down the hall towards the slave’s quarters.
“No one.”
I said grumpily.
He looked
over at me, “I am giving you a ce, ie, it would do you well to answer.” I
remained silent, “Damien, you are pushing me a little too far, I do not
appreciate it. You are being just as
bad as Eva. Perhaps you need to be
kidnapped and raped to understand.” He snapped.
I shook
my head, “No.” I said simply.
“Then
give me an ans” He” He ordered.
“Alex.”
“Very well
then, would you like me to feed with you or stand by and make sure you feed?”
He asked, walking into the slave’s quarters.
“I shall
feed.” I whispered as I followed him inside.
The
slave’s quarters were nice, well kept but quite simple.
comfortable, but nothing compared to sharing Dante’s. I had, until recently, slept here and to come back made me feel
like an outcast. I wasn’t like them
anymore; I was different, like our masters.
Alex was lounging on his bed, looking quite comfortable, I didn’t wish
to disturb him but knew that Dante wouldn’t let me get away with it.
“Damien.”
Alex said, looking over at us as we walked in, “Master.”
Dante
looked over at me and I closed my eyes, “Alex,” I said softly as I walked towards
him. A sat down on the edge of the bed,
“there’s something…” I trailed off.
“Damien,
if you want to feed from me just ask.
It’s no big deal.” He laughed, “I don’t mind.”
I bowed
my head; “It’s just hard for me.” I whispered, “Thanks Alex.” I wrapped my arms
around him.
He lay
his head on my shoulder, baring his throat for me, “If you want a drink then go
ahead.” He almost sounded like he was taunting me but I knew better, he didn’t
like to wait.
I took a
deep breath but couldn’t bring myself to do it. He was willing to give me what my body needed but I just
couldn’t. Suddenly Dante grabbed my
face, digging his fingers into the hinge of my jaw, forcing my mouth open.
to bite down, just as he had the night before.
The first bubbling jet of blood spurted into my mouth and Alex took in a
hiss of air. I swallowed down the rich
liquid that poured from his throat.
After drinking my fill I pulled away, a look of shame upon my face.

meaning of servitude. She had resi

“Damien,”
Alex said, looking up at me, he had lain back down on his bed, “your kiss is
quite pleasurable.”
My eyes
widened, “What?” I asked softly, my voice barely a whisper.
“You
heard me.” He laughed, “I really enjoyed that, you’re better than Dante.” As he
spoke Dante looked over at us, a look of shock upon his face.
I was
speechless. Dante sauntered towards us;

wrapped around my torso, his hands slipped under my robe.
“So he
gives you more pleasure than I do?” Dante asked, resting his chin on my
shoulder.
Alex half
smiled, “Yes.” He said simply.
Dante
brushed his lips up my throat, “What would you think if I never touched you
again?”
The smile
faded from Alex’s lips, “It is your prerogative master.

Dante was holding me now.
One of
Dante’s hands left me and gently caressed Alex’s face, “I know that it cannot be
helped.” He whispered, “I wouldn’t torture you, or any of the others in that
manner, it is too cruel.”
Alex and
I laughed nervously. Dante was in an
odd mood and even though Alex hadn’t been with him as long as I had he picked
up on it. It was best to believe him,
he was being playful, not only that but a little malicious at the same time,
never the best combination. An awkward
silence fell over the room, the slaves were off performing their duties and the
one who Dante had fed from was recovering on her bed, curled in a ball and
shaking, and the three of us just sat there.
Gently Dante moved his hands over my chest, working his way down to my
inner thighs. I broke the silence with
a soft cry of pleasure.
“I told
you once that I would serve you as well.” He chuckled softly.
“Please.”
I whispered, it just didn’t feel right; it was my duty to care for him not the
other way around.
“Please
what?” His voice laughed as he nibbled on my ear. I was about to speak when Alex pressed his lips to mine.
before, I didn’t expect it. Dante’s
fingertips brushed against me and I moaned into Alex’s mouth, “Do you want me
to stop?” He asked. I nodded, “Are you
sure? It doesn’t feel like you do.” He
was laughing at me but it didn’t matter.
I shuddered against him as Alex ran his hands up my chest.

so.”
Alex
brushed his lips down the other side of my throat, “Yes.” I said, my voice
hoarse, “Please…stop.”
Alex laid
back on his bed lazily, “Spoil sport.” He laughed.
Dante
laughed and pulled away, just held me against him, “I’m sorry if what I did was
undesirable, perhaps I should just go find someone else.” He started to get up
but I grabbed his arm.
“Please
don’t leave me.” I whispered.
He raised
an eyebrow, “Oh, so now you want my affections?”
I shook
my head, “Your love.” I whispered, “I am not in the mood for pleasure.”
“And what
if I am? What if I want nothing more
than to pleasure you for a change?”
“Can’t it
just wait until I’m in the mood?”
He
laughed, “If everything waited until you were in the mood nothing would get
done.”
“But this
is something that’s better enjoyed when you’re in the mood for it.

He looked
down at me, “Damien, with all your years you’re still a child.” He said,
wrapping his arms around me, “But a child that I love very dearly.”
I curled
up in his arms. Suddenly Alex spoke, “I
want to be held too.” He sounded like a baby.
“I’m
sorry but I need to be going. There’s
something that I need to attend to and think about, I believe I may have a
solution to my little problem.” He said as he unwrapped himself from around me,
“I will see both of you later. Enjoy
your night.” With that he left.
When he
was gone I wrapped my arms around Alex, “I’ll hold you.” I said with a laugh.
He smiled
and curled himself up in my arms, “Who do you think he’s going to go after?”

Thank you so much Ichigo for the three reviews.
Since I got reviews I decided to put the next part up.
