Nik awoke the next day to see Holly laying her head on his bump and her tapping against it as if in morse code.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NYQExKQ5e
The bump had not changed in size and he was grateful for that. He needed time to assimilate to the idea of more children. Lockhart’s children.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0cqoi72gb
Fuck.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjYTKWqfkh
“Holly?” He yawned and his daughter peeked up at him beneath a tangle of auburn hair.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4aiJH3zM
“Daddy?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoNuPbNWd3
Nik looked at her for a moment. He supposed his future children would look as she did. After all, Isabelle had imitated the Lockhart siblings’ traits to originally lure him in.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fn6y83Znn
It had worked. He had gone there prepared to either die or to experience great change. In a way, he had done both. He had died during his baser transition, leaving him to be reborn anew. This had been his great change. It had changed his outlook on life and his priorities. His slate had been wiped clean and he was left feeling freer than he had before.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzQlJ84rbE
It was peaceful, until he decided to return here.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡet21YSdLPr
He shouldn’t have. He should have stayed with Isabelle, but the desire to see them again had won out, and in the process he had begun to feel the emotions he had left behind, if only temporarily.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX6d4El8DJ
Nik patted her head, smiling at her before sitting up to get himself together for the day. Night, whatever.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUimg2vltH
Holly sat up as well, her hands trying to push the long ringlets out of her eyes. Nik stood up and went to retrieve her bag where he had tossed it down and pulled out a brush and began to sweep it through her hair, braiding it afterwards, though it probably wouldn’t last. She had a habit of undoing his work within the same hour.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ha2I8VVUK
It was early evening and the rest of the manor’s inhabitants were just beginning to wake up for the night. They exited the room and made their way to the kitchen for Holly.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJHtXM8iUM
Quickly, he made her a small sandwich and gave her a glass of milk.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qGkMXnijQ
She beamed at him and began her meal while he sat beside her silently.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjx9mgihcd
“Daddy?” she asked and he looked at her.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zXJ2Uvadq
“Why don’t you eat? Mommy does.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfRDAEBXWU
He blinked for a moment, “I haven’t thought about it. Your mother likes to eat, though she does not gain any real health benefits from it.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVel5ACnRO
She chewed her food for a few moments. “Do you like food?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡBToyCrs8CF
He nodded, “I do, but I’d rather it went to someone who needs it as opposed to someone that can live without."copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyVqcv4Os0
She nodded as she ate and Nik looked up to see Theia standing in the doorway wearing a white skirt and a matching dress shirt. He cast her a small smile as he greeted her.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgVXC0yeoq
“Good evening.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZjsyWT05v
She entered and came over to perch on the counter top. “You do know that you can eat with us, right?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE4B4h795A
Zero shook his head, “We’re fine, go ahead and eat.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OR5Mt5kIu
She looked as if she was about to push, but stopped herself. “I wish you’d talk to me.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMu4e21826
Her words shocked him, but they shouldn’t have. Theia had always felt that way around him, they both knew it.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJKIlPZsY5
When he was younger he had been far less likely to talk to anyone about anything. He’d felt like his pain was his to bear and his alone. He still felt that way in part, he had Isabelle’s willing ears, but she was one to push off his worries and distract him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27UTcGni15
“Nikolai, why must you worry yourself like this? You can be happy if you allow yourself to.” she’d say and in time he had learned to put the remains of his mortal emotions to bed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSgR6iSfl
They were resurfacing, and he didn’t look forward to the idea of having to face them head on.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS5IAqxASw
Holly looked at the both of them as she chewed, searching for answers that he wanted to keep from her for as long as he could.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVDzOQfb9h
Inevitably, she would come to know a side of the truth, which, he wasn’t sure.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW39cUgvNv
Theia sighed before making her exit from the room, leaving them in peace. Nik stood and made his way back over to the fridge. He pulled out a couple oranges and brought them back over to the table.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLoWuZn2zf
He peeled one and handed half to his daughter before taking a piece in his mouth.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfbcOZ34bc
Holly smiled at her father. “See, food tastes good!”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt8pDlkUR7
He smiled at her and ruffled her hair. “You’re right. You need to finish up before you can see Gus, though.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡqITOFnO3pn
The young girl grew excited at his words and rapidly finished her meal and began to tug him towards the door. copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXDuarudwG
He let out a laugh and followed her out.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS9xiNTCHK
An hour later Nik was keeled over the toilet, heaving up blood into the bowl.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7tDW91Kcq
Fuck, no eating then.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8voLZyctLJ
He knew that Isabelle had only eaten meat during her pregnancy, but she had told him of the negative effects it had caused her.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBjIT6CwO
Her countless lovers were used till they lay dead in the abandoned homes they stayed in. In an attempt to save their lives they had resolved to eating the flesh of their fellow human partners. It wasn’t pretty, but the only thing that bothered him was how dreadfully messy such an action was. Isabelle claimed that they were amplifiers for their own diets, spreading such ideas and practices into the minds of their lovers subconsciously.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgVQURZVBc
Perhaps he had been numb to it all, but it occurred to him now that the lives of humans mattered very little to him now. It was as if they ceased to have any worth to him, he supposed that was how vampires must feel about them. Humans were a food source, and they didn’t usually survive their encounters with his maker and himself.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHKvHjIb4
Oh, how that thought would have tortured him before. Nik shook that thought off. He had already been reminiscing the past too often in the first place, he didn’t need any more of those thoughts than he already had. copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkf2EYVLAr
He picked himself off the bathroom floor and washed his mouth out more than once.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXIuOCmNyY
It helped and he promptly made his way back to the bed, trying his best to stave off the hunger he was beginning to feel.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UIHFdoZVz
Maybe he should make his way into town and feed there.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mUjpzilkT
Yes, that would be best.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTQvoE8LsG
He dressed himself in cheap clothing and made his way to Holly and Fitzgerald.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsBrahFzgB
“Can she stay with you? I have to go out for a while and I can’t bring her with me.” he asked the orange-haired noble and Gus nodded while Onoe screeched at the prospect.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kX3EnCWIX
Nik nodded and exited the manor, his body dispersing into the air to only manifest on the edges of a town far enough away that no brows would be raised.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvRG0gl81N
It was midnight and he walked into one of the thrumming nightclubs, sending out the lure on the unsuspecting humans. It took less than twenty minutes for the mass of people to be overcome and drop to the floor in a pleasurable wave of reaching hands and roaming mouths.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKgqcqHRZY
Nik found himself in the center of it all, his power absorbing the lives of quite a few of the party goers. It was a euphoric feeling, to be in his element and know that he could devour them all if he chose.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8iqcWOOTw
What a change of mindset!copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI1Do1TJaU
His clothes were clawed off of him soon enough and the smell of sex permeated the surrounding area around the club, growing stronger every moment.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFOpSf7Kf
He stretched out his senses, looking for any nar-dowell vampire. He sensed a powerful presence growing near, but it was neither of the Lockharts. Another pureblood? He increased the flow of his lure towards the presence, intent on drawing it closer.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dooDAlspe
It didn’t take long to arrive and he smiled at the vampire when it made it’s way over to his position in the center. It was a male with a mass of wavy blonde hair and pale strawberry colored eyes. He was fully matured into immortality and it surprised Nik that Elijah would allow another pureblood within even a distance as far as this one.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbX0Ol1I5c
The pureblood was stripped of his clothes by the grasping hands, and Nik caught sight of clarity in the male’s eyes. He wasn’t fighting, he was allowing the power of the lure to sweep through his body in exchange for a clear mind.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDbirBaHIU
A vampire whose beast he couldn’t spark. The thought made Nik grin at the male.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO8kdLUzdj
“What is your name?” he asked and the male shrugged.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcvLck7e2d
“Does it matter, really?” he countered and Nik shrugged, letting out a chuckle.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFRBYid90V
“I suppose not.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WKchYYbyc
Nik reached out and brought the vampire closer, tilting his face to lock lips with the male. He allowed it, clearly letting his body do the talking.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmo08BlgQn
He let Nik take the lead, and Nik felt his form shift back to feminine, yet strangely enough, was not swept to the back of his mind when Naomi would usually take over. Perhaps she was too submissive for this pureblood, apparently he liked the dominance.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3kS2D5bD
Nik shrugged off the thought. It didn’t matter, not really.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gAMsRLr3j
Nik quickly sunk down on the vampire’s length, not slowing his pace as he ground into him. The male thrust up and Nik moaned at the feeling. He could feel his hair continuing to lengthen more till it hit his body’s waist. copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyG2zOEU4u
He feasted on the lives of the humans around them, drinking his fill till almost all had perished to his hunger.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyLlTDoxJz
The bodies stopped moving around the pair, all of them slipping into a comatose state or dying completely.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLPLxiDiJG
Still Nik rode on, continuing to drink in the pureblood’s power. He was strong and since vampires were not as weak as humans, he would live on no longer how much Nik took from him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡCneiqO74Jc
He sunk down once more and locked lips with the male, nipping at his lips until a sharp canine broke through. The vampire laughed and groaned when he felt his partner lick at the wound till it faded completely.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1LjnEXLcH
“My, what a situation I’ve lucked into.” the male laughed and continued to thrust, making Nik moan.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡlntb80tLjd
“Harder,” Nik told him and the vampire flipped their positions.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWBHf1vm5e
It seemed to go on for hours, which it did in part as Nik felt dawn approaching.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgkYDZWpb
His senses caught another presence, another pureblood, and this time, he was sure of who it was. He withdrew his lure and centered it on the pureblood pounding into him to hasten their fucking.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKy6VH7ptr
Humans were beginning to wake in the apartments around the club, and he needed to be gone by the time someone came a-looking.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVofDDg80m
The blonde haired pureblood groaned and his orgasm set off Nik ’s. He unintentionally let loose a wave of power from the club, notifying the approaching pureblood of his location.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0ETZiTVH
He flipped them over and stood up off the pureblood’s cock and cast a smile the male’s way.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zsDGolONP
“Perhaps, we’ll meet again.” Nik smirked and the male reciprocated in kind.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrKDGnhXwh
“Perhaps.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQkyKjQDe
Nik stepped into the shadows as the door to the club came open, revealing the pureblood prince.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIN0mtoHhc
He felt almost obligated to stay, but he didn’t, he dispersed into the shadows, leaving the two purebloods to themselves.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEhbkFthc
He manifested in his bedroom in the Lockhart manor and settled about washing off the scents and fluids that came along with feeding. Terribly messy, but at least the humans didn’t make a last ditch effort to survive by eating one another.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7BVFlewZ
That was truly a mess.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Ih44LtM3
He finished in the bathroom, passing by the mirror in the process. It occurred to him then that he was still in an effeminate form.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjAjBMEhfW
He tried for a moment to shift, but his body failed him once more, causing him to befriend the toilet again.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0xBBthXHN
Perfect.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbRFsWKdpx
Alec Clementine figured he’d gotten himself in trouble with another Lockhart. The last time had landed him in a sleep for thousands of years and he was not really raring to go back into that abysmal state.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5RRpsD3KT
The incubus stepped into the shadows just as the door came crashing open, pouring the light of dawn onto the massacre that had taken place the night before. He looked down and somehow found a pair of hole-ridden jeans and slipped them on as he gauged the expression on... Elijah? That fucker was still alive? Are you fucking kidd-?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUyQv17sJ
The pureblood turned around and sent him a menacing look of displeasure.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqUM5mIQz8
Speaking of pleasure, he’d have to search for that incubus. Gods, was he powerful.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQdeHCHlGs
Speaking of powerful, Alec made his way through the corpses to the front where the angry pureblood stood.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGH9eyFgG8
Alec tried to play off how on edge being around the other male made him. Who could blame him though? The bastard had knocked him out for what eight (or was it nine?) millennium.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡZByTnDg5uQ
A wave of anger hit him at the thought. How dare that bastard? Sure, he was at times a little bit of a dick, but was that a good reason to just fuck with someone’s head like that?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRGr6o3OJK
Alec narrowed his eyes.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZrY8FxNWd
“My, my. Looks like I’ve been getting luckier and luckier. I mean who’d of thought that I’d have been lucky enough to run into the bastard that put me to sleep for THOUSANDS of years?!”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVOuOb74hC
Lockhart looked for his part, annoyed and mildly curious. Alec looked at him silently for a moment. Could it be? The great Elijah Lockhart without his memories? Oh, he could live with being awoken now. Now only if he knew where that incubus went off to…copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwtBXAZ1oJ
Elijah scanned the room and the dead bodies before looking at him. “Is this your doing?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFIcEQSbEO
“Actually no, though it was kinda fun being with the person who did the doing.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAJd4ypcDH
Lockhart looked mildly annoyed beneath his mask, and Alec couldn’t help but smirk at the slightly taller man.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡOydi9aS8ch
“Who did this then?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXXAaBq2N5
Alec pouted but answered regardless, “An incubus, didn’t ask for a name.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcGBpK9PXM
His follower stepped forward into the room behind her leader. “My Lord, we need to leave before they trace this to us.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLlK4uVWD7
Elijah turned to Alec, “Come with us, we have much to talk about.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡev4b5fMwhA
Alec smirked, excited at the thought. Perhaps he could get back at the other pureblood for his pain.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9MhKb2T1Z
Elijah had taken the other pureblood back to the manor, leaving him to Sparrow to show to a bedroom. He had caught the scent of mint in the nightclub and he couldn’t help but draw the conclusion that Nikolai had been the one who caused the scene.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxL1iPwdL9
He had never pegged that Volkov would do such a thing. Nikolai had always been so holier than thou with his attitude at the academy. The hunter had defended the humans from any perceived threat from the vampire class, regardless of any validity. Volkov had been almost ridiculously black and white with his ideals, a tiring trait that was astonishingly predictable for someone as bold as the hunter.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0EpbJEYgW
He hadn’t come across the former hunter last night and from what he had been told by Onoe, Volkov had left early on in the evening.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR5k9PwbJy
No one had seen him return, though Elijah could sense that he was in the manor.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq5WsoLYBx
He opened the door to the supposed incubus’ room and made his way to the bed where a head of silver hair was facing away from him. Nikolai’s daughter was not in the room and he could only assume that she was with the Fitzgerald heir still.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxMlJw0HN
The girl interested his sister more than him, but he still found her existence confounding. She had taken to looking at him with a judgmental stare whenever she could when people weren’t paying attention to her.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgE2BOS8ZB
It unnerved him slightly. He had seen her heal his sister, but he couldn’t help but wonder if that was only the surface of her gifts.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb2M7uaTsL
It mattered little now.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAHXn3GU3o
He walked to the side of the bed and he caught Nikolai’s minty scent along with the mysterious sweet scent that came with what he had called ‘the lure’.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZEm2gaUoa
Volkov turned to face him, it took him a moment, but it was indeed Nikolai as opposed to his feminine aspect’s persona. He blinked up at him for a moment before sitting up, revealing a slimmer figure and a pair of well-rounded breasts. The blanket covered him from the waist down, and he leant back on his hands to look up at him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4lxQt11mu
Elijah looked down at him, searching for any hint of Nikolai’s thoughts in his eyes. It was fruitless, the snowy haired male gave nothing away to him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM5uKsxrnA
Another difference in the former hunter.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5AurCKCw8
“Did you feed recently?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2d8A3BC4X
Nikolai smirked at him, “To which instance do you mean?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RKcmuFTW2
“A few hours ago. I caught your scent in the building where dozens of humans had died.” Elijah raised a brow.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL74gzH0bd
Nikolai didn’t even hesitate, “Yes.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ygm6QqIsv
Volkov pouted at the pureblood when he saw anger in his eyes, “Disappointed?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGznqLJVqCR
His eyes narrowed and with a smooth move, pressed the former hunter’s neck against the headboard. Nikolai grasped at his tightening hold, but a faint smile remained on his face as the pureblood prince leaned close to him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DBbTaSUl
“If you act so irresponsibly again, just remember you are not the only one living here.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63kmqqcQ9F
The sentence made the incubus incredibly angry. Gone was any shred of decency as he sneered at the bastard that would dare threaten his daughter. The sneer quickly gave way however to a smug smile as he leaned close to the vampire.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfJf0sbr5
“I should say the same to you.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcGvnAGgu
The mask of mild annoyance slipped for a brief moment before Nik’s eyes, giving him not only a good look at the real Elijah, but an insight as to how easy it would be to trigger his beast with the lure.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mymIYNVPW
The mask fell back into place. “You would never hurt her. Not even now.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbLPV1Qnci
“Funny how I also thought you better than threatening children. Oh how the mighty hath fallen.” Nik breathed out tiredly.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfdEWJ1wpi
So damn tired, all the damn time. He had forgotten how tiring it was to pretend that he truly hated the elder Lockhart.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rEzOnyBio
Pain began to pulse through his body then, and he clawed out of Lockhart’s hold to run into the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind himself. He fell to the tiles and didn’t make it to the toilet before he began to cough up blood.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTzjIukzSx
The door opened behind him, but he paid it little mind as wave after wave of dizziness washed over him. He crawled around the blood and made his way to the toilet where he stayed for several minutes.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkN4ZJN0gc
He took deep, long breaths to recover. It was only when he looked up that he saw Elijah with his hand outstretched.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhEXQskp4D
Nik nodded his thanks and stood with his help, making his way over to the sink to wash his mouth out. Elijah watched him with a critical eye, and Nik felt glad that the pureblood didn’t catch on to his growing stomach, of which Nik was sure it had started again.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBwnVfSfOK
A wave of thirst began to burn his throat and he met Elijah’s eyes in the mirror just as a sharp canine broke through the skin on his lip. The blood flowed down his chin as he turned to face the vampire, and it was only when his back hit the glass of the mirror that he realized Lockhart was closer than he appeared.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5AK4jy5z
Nik let out a shiver as he felt a tongue lick up his jaw to taste his bloody lip. His breath shook and he ran a hand up his former enemy’s chest to encompass his neck.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoQqlHSG6X
There was a brief pause, then their lips met.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUyQht69JU
Nik was struck by this feeling of rightness. Perhaps it was the work of the pregnancy, but he wasn’t totally as sure as he would’ve liked to have been. He needed this, regardless of how innately wrong this was. He had loved Theia, they both had, but a part of Nik knew that he had cared for the bastard that was the elder Lockhart.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwBZ6m3pU8
Elijah didn’t feel the same, of that Nik was sure. He had meant nothing to the vampire prince, and his pain had meant nothing to him. His brother’s life hadn’t mattered to him, nor had his family of whom Lockhart had released the Rogue upon, leading up to the death of all that he had known.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGwQ6SxZzE
It had caused him misery when he was human, but now it was only another hollow pain beating at the back of his head beneath heavily built walls.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTyvKPYQZI
Nik moaned against his lover’s mouth, letting him take control. He had the distinct feeling that if he had been wearing clothes, they would have been destroyed by the pureblood’s claws.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTemSlIVKD
His canines elongated as the burning in his throat doubled. He had forgotten what it had felt like. The burn.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KjBApt7o2
Lockhart nipped at his throat and Nik arched it in response. He barely felt the sting as he busied himself by sweeping off the other’s jacket and shirt, stopping only momentarily when he felt Elijah withdraw. It was a slow caring touch that Nik pulled away from before pulling the vampire’s face to his their tongues tangling again till he tasted drops of his partner’s blood spilling into his mouth.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlWkQGaPw9
He moaned and opened his legs to him, nimbly undoing Elijah’s pants and belt, and revealing his lover’s cock. Nik kissed his way up the other’s neck, nipping lightly at the flesh as he held the cock to his ready entrance.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh2MDV7mRS
“Fuck me,” he purred and moaned when he felt himself being filled.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVCjwdI0l7
He felt Lockhart grasp his hips to gain better access and he allowed it, too preoccupied with the vein straining against his throat.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37tZrjFB8c
It was mid-thrust when Nik struck, making the other groan while Nik moaned at the relief to his burning throat.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGtOs7JAuA
He drank for several moments, taking his fill till he felt the pureblood begin to draw back and pull him back into the actual sex.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡstw5M3iv3D
Their breathing had become ragged and Nik moaned, letting out a small whimper at the feeling of being withdrawn from before the following thrust.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7K66cpMOy
Elijah’s hands had traveled up to encompass his feminine form’s breasts. Nik wrapped his legs around the pureblood, desperate for more.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzetnHB7h5
He felt energy begin to pool within him from the pureblood, and it quickly dominated the energy received from the feed he had at the nightclub.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJyePli7Rm
“Fuck,” Nik moaned as he felt his end approaching.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutwBAI0nx
He came, milking his lover and triggering the other man in the process.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm6NPuuqBM
Sometime later after a long shower spent with more sex, they had made their way back to the second bed which had somehow become the normal place to land.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjw5xlqPti
Nik had ended up dressed in his shirt, not that he had a problem with that as for some probably stupid reason, his scent calmed him even if the male himself didn’t.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡceMFLnfuoC
His eyes were closed and he felt Elijah rubbing small circles over his stomach just above the source of the thumping which had been growing even stronger and steadier since they had made their way into the bed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZ8LPCggd
“Can you shift?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MxyR5TiVn
Shit. Shit. Shit. Theia.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7CnMnK2R9
He felt himself began to panic a bit before Lockhart’s infernal rubbing calmed him once more.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS6E0SuD8K
Fuck, how would he explain this to Theia? How long could he keep this pregnancy under wraps, anyway?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡRawoJotDGo
Maybe he could leave, just he and Holly. She would miss Fitzgerald, but they would be safer if they were with Isabelle and her immortal lovers where he could make it through the pregnancy with all he needed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hvCEiZpkQ
“No, I can’t.” he said and Elijah nodded as if he expected as much.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZJFEKx8nF
Nik sighed, his head falling back against the pillow. He wasn’t really touchy-feely with his lovers but he couldn’t deny that Elijah was different.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQpDzN7cu
He leaned into his ear and his voice was cold.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdL1PqjPPE
“How do you know Alec?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnDp3iaAqy
Zero fought back a shiver at the harsh tone before turning to face the pureblood prince. “Alec?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjN7IrGwzT
His look of confusion annoyed Elijah clearly and he stopped his rubbing, pulling back.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ156N6WdqL2
“The other pureblood you ‘fucked’.” He elaborated and Nik rose a brow at that.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rqJRu114r
Part of his mind was slightly turned on by the vampire’s curse, but the main part was almost indignant, but he figured that would not be in his best interest.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlLnstO9Zn
“Hmm. I didn’t bother to get his name.” he remarked and his partner’s eyes narrowed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20t9Oz610R
Was that, dare he say it, jealousy?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ivPaZQb4
Nik wasn’t used to such a concept. None of his lovers had ever particularly shown such an emotion and it shocked him, but it shouldn’t have. Lockhart had shown evidence of being very jealous and possessive when it came to Theia and it shouldn’t have surprised him that he was just as possessive with his lovers.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLp38RxX1x
“So it was not your intention to meet again?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4yOdmojnp
Nik shrugged, “I very rarely ever plan out my meetings.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsvuXlEWcQ
It didn’t appear to satisfy the vampire prince and he stood from the bed, revealing his muscular frame to Nik’s eyes again.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uBqyKi5Ij
He glared at Nik beneath his mask and Nik kept a mask of indifference over his face as well, only he knew that the pureblood could not read him half as well. He had changed after all, and neither he nor Theia had known Nik’s inner thoughts as well as they had thought.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3nbSBxhUU
Elijah appeared to calm himself after a moment, sighing.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6mcAkyehK
“What do you plan to do about your shift?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hfGINq0T8
“I should probably tell Theia, the rest will find out inevitably and she would be hurt if I didn’t tell her.” Nik sighed, sitting up when all he wanted to do was go back to bed and sleep for a week.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwcHH5iemd
He had fed twice within twenty four hours, but he was so tired of dealing with this bullshit. Going back to Isabelle was sounding better and better, but he knew that even Elijah deserved to know he had children. Just not now.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93jwgUQP87
Nik sighed, sliding off the bed and slinking to the dresser and digging into Holly’s bag for women’s clothing. He pulled out a pair of tailored skinny leg pants and a simple black top, digging in again for a pair of shoes.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdpOU7Bk8v
Stripping, he handed Lockhart back his shirt and pulled on the clothes, eager to get it all over with so he could go sleep.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡts1G9JLsX8
Nik walked beside Elijah in the hallway leading up to Theia’s room, a feeling of uneasiness settling inside his mind. He couldn’t think of a reason as to why, but the prospect of telling his former adoptive sister more than he wanted her to know bothered him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7bZDsTuh2
He followed her actual brother into her room, not giving any response when the door closed quietly behind his back.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRg1Fa9hvh
Theia sat in one of the chairs by the window, her hair pulled out of her face as she tapped a pencil against her lips in concentration. She looked up when the door shut, her eyes catching sight of Elijah first, a smile making its way onto her face. She blinked when she caught sight of Nik and a look of confusion came over her face.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJOFTxqlu
“Nik?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1BK0fdUJv
He tossed her a kind smile, “Hey, Solnishko.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlmdn1nwiT
Her brows furrowed and she stood up, her skirt billowing a bit as she moved closer to them. The elder Lockhart stepped away and gave them space.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5SyTxrqYN
“You’re… a girl?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxOxiPNvKw
Her words hit him and he let out a laugh, only mildly annoyed when he heard it himself.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GSnUfoiMH
“Only sometimes.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAN38GBz7A
An annoyed look came over her and she looked up at him, still shorter than his current body by a few inches.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡn37cAp1nUL
“And you didn’t tell me?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVsMjn2IFO
He had never heard Theia truly angry, but he was fairly confident he had nothing to worry about.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQodUwUw61
After a moment, Nik shook his head. “Only your brother and Holly knew out of everyone here.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u5dGGDI4x
Elijah looked at him casually, “The pureblood you met last night is now staying with us as well. I take it he knows of your form as well.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYtXLMkOuZ
Nik nodded and felt a sharp sting as Theia slapped him suddenly. His face did not move, and he felt the blood that had been drawn by her nails slip down his jaw. Within seconds he felt the wound heal, his skin stitching itself back together.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUQ17Ky2hF
He looked down at her with a glare. He shouldn’t have been so angry with her, he’d known she was prone to such outbursts, which before he would have felt he deserved, but not now. The thumping grew faster and he let loose his senses as he sent out a small wave of power.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n98BQOeyS
She didn’t pick up on it, but her brother did. Elijah swept her behind him in a single smooth movement, placing himself between Nik and Theia.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Rg0D2krx
Elijah for his part, was silent for several moments, waiting to see if Nik would react violently. Part of him desired the death of someone stupid enough to lay a hand on him anger, while the other part, the old side of him, staved off his anger with old ideas of how Theia hadn’t meant to hurt him, not really.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3sa5AVDCc
Nik wanted to believe that side, he really did, but his new outlook revealed a more negative side of the small brunette. Something he would have denied before.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGzsPbiEpR
Nik drew a hand up to his bloodied jaw and pulled it back to reveal blood staining his skin. He narrowed his eyes again at the sight, such a stupid little girl.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbUorV2uft
It occurred to him that he now understood how Isabelle would kill off her former lovers when they angered her. They had outlived their use and he knew now that to put up with those lovers would only stir his anger toward them.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AxvKC6FgI
Theia seemed to regain herself and she looked around her brother’s arm to take in Nik’s expression for herself. He caught her eyes and even she could notice the deadly look in them.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzps1eDkT2
“Please don’t be that stupid again, Theia. I assure you that it would be a mistake on your part if it were to happen again.” Nik stated flippantly, the glare dropping off to reveal detached (or was it sad?) eyes.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqe6PG1Rah
“Are you threatening her, Volkov?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡldRSIBvPhL
Nik turned around, tossing one last remark into the stale air before he left.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9lXBmbeG5
“Just fair warning.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSvvYkcZcn
Elijah left his sister an hour later, having calmed her of her worries.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxA8qjJW80
She seemed rattled, perhaps because Volkov had never actually gone so far as to threaten her before.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGa3DLpP06
He had sensed Volkov’s power for a brief moment. It was like he was a snake in Elijah’s garden just laying in wait to strike. It bothered the pureblood, but he was careful not to let Theia see.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhYqNWLZWX
Never mind the thought that he too would have gone after whoever dared to strike him in anger. Nikolai, from what he could tell, had merely given Theia a warning, one he warned he would not give for a second time.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvXkWh4Sp
The pureblood prince believed it. Even in his feminine aspect, the former hunter still had that violent edge to him. The only thing that shocked him was the fact that Theia had been the target of his anger.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A6fEJ13z1
Volkov had loved Theia once, but it appeared like he didn’t care for her as much anymore. It seemed to him that Nikolai cared for her only in a distanced manner.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡaui8U54F50
Elijah stopped for a moment. He was missing something.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrd8py4GCX
It annoyed him immensely.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IycXcWYgv
He thought back to the time he had spent with Nik. He had been clear-minded then, surprisingly so.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq0izUoEzt
It shocked him when Volkov slipped out of his hold and bolted into the bathroom where he heard retching a second later. The smell of blood permeated the air and he opened the door to see the snowy haired ex-hunter crawling away from the blood beside the tub to the toilet where he stayed for several minutes. He leaned against the wall for support and stilled, calming himself.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcVSlkrq14
Elijah stepped into the room, his prior threats somehow slipping from his mind. He held out a hand to Nikolai and the other had taken it, appearing grateful.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7MWjK8gJp
He stepped back when Nikolai walked over to the vanity and began to desperately wash out his mouth in an attempt to settle his stomach.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJPM1pGq3g
After, Nikolai stood stock still, looking at him through his hair in the mirror, analyzing him as if he were an unknown variable in some great game of his.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIsPBOa2eb
He saw a brief flash of red flashed through opalescent eyes before the smell of fresh blood made its way to him. He turned Nikolai around before he had fully noticed that he himself had moved.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CjUyCEHTo
Nikolai shivered beneath him as Elijah licked the blood off of his jaw.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F7Vr9k7zo
The pureblood heard Nikolai’s breath turn ragged and felt a hand crawl up his arm to encompass his neck, a surprisingly gentle touch coming from such a violent person.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt6QjIFtKT
He paused and then attacked his mouth with veracity.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSvYM4BrLu
Elijah had thrown all sense out the window and felt himself let go of his stress, relaxing for the first time in who knew how long.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR9XNB68IG
Volkov moaned against his mouth and Elijah let his hands trail down the pale neck of his lover. He nipped his way down to the base of his throat and Nikolai arched against him, revealing his vein to the pureblood.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6aDXtlCW6
Elijah sunk his teeth into Nikolai’s neck, losing himself to the taste, but not so much as he failed to take it in it’s glory.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBY2zK6abR
He tasted not of mint, but of a harsh sweetness that burned its way down his throat like whiskey.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1JOYwp4E8
What was that? That beating? It wasn’t Volkov’s heart, his was nearly covering it, but the beating was loud enough that he felt it through the former hunter’s flesh. He withdrew from the incubus’ neck, only just then noticing the partial nude state he was in and probably was going to get worse.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbfVOco9Pl
He was pulled out of his thoughts by the feeling of Nikolai’s lips touching his again, and the feeling of open legs surrounding him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡflXenxZuHa
Elijah sat back in his chair before his desk, drinking a glass of bloodwine. It was more out of habit now than actual need, but that thought struck him rarely.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnc4baBBfg
The beating. Could it be?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0rZWfckp2
“Sparrow.” he called and she stepped out of the shadows in the room.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFnDTLaSfS
“Retrieve the box Mieren gave me.” he commanded and she disappeared to complete her orders.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BffFrqh3F
He stretched out his senses, catching Nikolai’s with relative ease. Clementine had made an appearance yet again, this time having apparently run into the white haired male.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNGYNCe0WD
Lockhart came across them in the hallway a minute or two later, catching a glimpse of Nikolai’s more delicate frame being held against the wall by the blonde haired pureblood.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Diqgbbq3r
He didn’t step out of the shadows, but he knew Nikolai sensed him, his eyes glancing back at him briefly before looking back at youthful looking vampire.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡj72ymI0MZ3
Volkov sighed at the male, “Not now, I have someone to pick up.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡswR8vFKJFH
The pureblood pouted and he saw Nikolai smirk.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkF8BQj2U
“Soon?” Alec whined quietly and Volkov slipped away, walking down the hall.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1NUovVbv
“Maybe.” He tossed over his shoulder at him, but Elijah knew it was meant for him as well.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD1QLxvwgb
Alec sighed as if to himself. He had only just managed to get out of his room, Lockhart’s blasted bodyguard had kept him under lock and key for the past night.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDTyi199lb
He was glad to have come across the incubus again, though he confessed that running across such a creature under Elijah Lockhart’s watch surprised him. He had always assumed the pureblood to be ‘above’ such pleasures.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36x5TrtpmF
He didn’t flinch when he felt the forgetful pureblood step out of the shadows.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUliWc4tHAK
“Who might you be babysitting? It certainly isn’t me as you’ve left your follower to annoy the fuck out of me without even opening her mouth.” Alec pondered.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOnMmFOwO9
Elijah said nothing and Alec let out a laugh.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSgeXaGrz2
“Maybe babysitting isn’t the correct term. I never took you as one to be the target of an incubus, but then again, I also never believed you would knock every useful detail you picked up when we were younger out of your head.” Alec felt crimson colored eyes lock on him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uopqAuUi5
After a moment Elijah spoke.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbT2YgIMMx
“How do you know about him?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtpcInmoPW
Alec turned and faced the brunette. “I encountered a succubus before you knocked me out.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWqPlRqQLI
Elijah escorted him to an office, his, Alec assumed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqUPsS5bFR
“What was her name?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBl7O4vbsk
Alec shrugged but told him nonetheless, “Belle.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UgyKCqatb
“Isabelle?” Elijah prodded but Alec rolled his eyes.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡToCNd5Gigl
“She gave me a name, I didn’t ask for more. Whatever she told me was up to her, not that I particularly cared. It was fun, so I didn’t question it.” Alec told him, leaning back against the chair he was sitting in.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYXw6LACW3
Alec had to give him credit, Volkov had a good poker face. Even if he didn’t remember his past life he still kept all he knew a secret, though he probably wouldn’t ask if he did know what a succubus was.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4XeCIQ2Sk
“You’ve never met Nikolai before last night?” Elijah questioned.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLIRzWWffd
Alec sighed, “I wish I had, he knows how to prolong pleasure very well.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpcyWikwVh
A flash of cold fury was seen in Lockhart’s eyes, but it fled as quickly as it was spotted. Alec bit back a grin, found a sore spot, eh?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡASly6YgX08
A wash of heat swept through the room, alerting them both to the resident Incubus’ hunger. Alec frowned.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfU06tW3Jb
“I’ve never heard of even a baby incubus being so hungry so often.” he allowed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkBtTxMd4H
They both stood, Elijah glaring at him as they both followed the heat to what appeared to be a basement, passing a handful of panting aristocrats along the way.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEzQcGOtDP
Elijah stopped to question one bearing the Clement last name. A descendant of his perhaps? He glanced at the petite male figure and spotted the unique shade of crimson colored eyes that had been a dominant trait in his first wife that he recalled had passed down to their children as well. Alec put that thought to rest before following Elijah down the steps into a private library where the source of the heat sat reading from several books.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5wUc0RfK
Nikolai looked up at them with a raised brow. “Yes?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x4E0YbMcf
Alec smiled at the tone directed almost entirely at the brunette. He had done something to piss off the incubus, but Elijah appeared to know nothing.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHU4y7KmAo
His grin grew at the idea. No one who pissed off a succubus kept their status as members of the living, but what about an incubus? He had never met one beside Nikolai and the prospect of witnessing such anger excited Alec.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjhJetJ5J
Lockhart stepped further inside the room, allowing Alec to slip in beside him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8gyMgxY3J
They approached the incubus, bodies beginning to register the lure billowing towards them now.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyr8CZfnmP
“You are setting off the nobles.” Elijah mentioned and the incubus shrugged in response.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy15PLjiuo
“Holly is in bed, I have no real need to care any longer.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yxhxjy5hC
Alec pouted, “Who’s Holly?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvagDMfTaB
Nikolai looked at him, a small smirk making its way onto his delicate face. “Don’t be so jealous, she is only my daughter.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV9K0Zvkh0
Alec leaned down across the table to look at him in the eyes. He felt the incubus grow curious as he moved.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjZfBxzaCR
Elijah turned toward Nikolai, his eyes narrowing. He grew jealous of Volkov’s attention to the annoyance that was the other pureblood.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrmWH0JXTT
What had Volkov said hours ago? ‘How the mighty hath fallen?’ Mighty indeed.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCPInQITaZ
He took hold of Nikolai’s chin and forced the ex-hunter to look up at him. “Why are you doing this?”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTjU9VrJ54
Volkov frowned at him, his eyes narrowing at the brunette, and in effect, ceasing to pay any attention to Alec.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwWOdXybR
“I’m not doing it on purpose!” the former hunter snapped.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKuhtR7bLi
Elijah raised a brow at the response, clearly not believing him. Nik glared full on at the pureblood, unintentionally letting out another pulse of power from the lure. The room’s occupants’ breathing turned uneven and harsh. Alec loosened the collar of his shirt while Lockhart just stood there, watching the incubus wrestle for control.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFbuAlq24v
The pulsing did not let up and Nikolai looked like he was about to lose any semblance of hold he had over his power. Alec approached the two, reaching out to touch the female arm of Nikolai’s.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EoCBcQzK1
He allowed it, though Alec knew it was relatively meaningless to him. The touch made Alec feel the lure come over him and he blissfully gave himself into, leaving it to Nikolai as to how far they would take it. He bit back the lust for a moment, “Why? Why are you so hungry? It makes no sense.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcLVteMBpy
His mutterings triggered the brunet to action and Elijah touched his hand against the incubus’ face, not pulling back when desire swept through his system. He wanted to at least maintain his mind throughout it all, if he had no other way of control.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBe55OqvQu
Alec pulled at his shirt and buttons popped out, leaping bounds across the carpet to all corners.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X9qALCqkn
Nik was the only relatively level-headed being there, but the hunger ate at him with large snapping jaws. He quivered beneath Elijah’s light touch, feeling the thumping come to the forefront for a moment, before his heartbeat overcame the sound with a strange sense of dominance.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLAeG3ttFT
Elijah’s jaw had slacken as if he heard the sound himself, but Nik shook off the thought, wanting to just get on with it all.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yufDz445V
Sex was supposed to be fun, but having had it so often recently had made it lose some of its ‘fun factor’ for him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7TJxtuaUO
Nik pulled the loose top off his slim frame and dropped it to the ground, inviting them closer. Elijah looked at him with critical eyes and his eyes ran over Nik’s partially revealed body. Alec pulled him up and onto the table, the blonde haired pureblood running his hands over his breasts and kissing a line up Nik’s neck.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡymz8Bfc4IR
The incubus allowed it while he cast his curious gaze toward the pureblood prince. Lockhart watched them calmly, though Nik could spot a heated flush on his skin and sense his lust.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKqr041487
He didn’t want this, and it annoyed Nik.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IfTrNnVXh
Never wanted, not truly…copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwEjEfyRkh
The thought burned him and he felt his heart pound at the very idea.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh19J2dK7m
Elijah approached them as if the lure had won him over. His gate was predatory and Nik bit his lip lightly at the image. In a flash the pureblood was there, clutching Nik’s hair in a tight grasp and tilting his face up to meld their lips together.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7471vVorT
Alec unbuttoned Nik’s pants, never ceasing his light kisses, trailing them down the curve of his spine. He traced circles around Nik’s aroused nipples, never giving him the satisfaction of the actual touch.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbplu4B3VV
Nik’s hands pulled off Elijah’s jacket in one smooth move, unbuttoning his partner’s shirt shortly thereafter. Nik felt Alec cease his movements to remove his own shirt, tossing it over the scattered books on the floor.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEdmOWo1Hv
Funny, he hadn’t noticed them fall.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡozDsHFYC3p
Elijah’s hands traveled down his body to his legs, undoing pulling Nik’s pants down his legs, his hands making skin explode into goosebumps.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKBU65ZH8U
Nik pulled the brown haired pureblood closer, kissing a trail up his neck as he undid the other’s pants. Alec chuckled in his ear and pulled Nik’s face around to devour his mouth, nipping at the lips of the incubus.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtzPQoMfpt
Nik moaned and he felt Elijah’s fingers tease his entrance, flicking at the little nub that came along with this form. He felt himself grow wet at the relentless touches, gasping into Alec’s mouth, providing him with more of an opening.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN2pgK4fm8
Nik rolled his hips into Elijah’s hand, his breathing ragged as he felt a finger sink in with ease. Lockhart nipped at the outer line of Nik’s throat, the feeling sending the other reeling.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRSgMYlLGu
Nik pulled back from Alec, lifting his hips and providing an opening for the blonde vampire to move and slide underneath. Nik grasped hold of the pureblood prince’s neck and kissed him, only gasping when he felt Alec sink into his body. He felt Lockhart growl against him mouth, and it sparked his desire again.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjYg9PEV54
Without having registered the movement, Nik sucked in a breath when Lockhart thrusted inside his other entrance.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQSrg8bkny
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3qljckFY0
His body felt full as Elijah pulled him in again, engulfing his mouth, and in the process cutting himself on Nik’s sharp canines.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEj9VsYzo3
He dug his nails into the elder Lockhart’s shoulders, drawing blood.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUweaFqv3
A passing thought made its way through his mind. What were the nobles up to?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX6ojpBD5z
Nik narrowed his senses on the sitting room above them. But was drawn to the hall outside the library instead. He grinned at the energy that began to seep into him then, and he made the snap decision to welcome Theia into the foray.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfeYo9rnJQ
He wrapped one of his arms around ’s neck and held out his other hand to Theia.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnDlTSwyi2
She stepped into the room absentmindedly. Nik allowed the lure to turn on her, though he held it tight under his command, not wanting a repeat of catatonic Theia.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhZIGj7iXc
He thought back to the slap that happened a mere couple hours ago. He narrowed his eyes at her, though she seemed not to notice. Why would she? She was never the brightest when it came to sensing danger.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCs6AQf2dZ
She touched his hand and he let a piece of his never-ending lust sink into her. She licked her lips and the heat was clearly getting to her.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEmv0gnxPG
Alec appeared to notice her as well, he even sent her a wink and a wicked grin as he thrusted inside Nik again and again.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrYz9FShXQ
Nik pulled Elijah back to kiss him again, searching his gaze for any clarity.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPsVV3Mb50
Possessiveness shone in his eyes and he appeared to be clear-minded, or at least more so that he had been in their first sessions. Nik moaned, rolling his hips against both of his other partners.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYExuFOScD
The blood heightened the whole experience for him, clearly triggering both the purebloods as well. Their thrusting sped up and Nik let his head fall back against Akira’s chest, moaning when he felt teeth sink into his skin once, then twice as the other pureblood drank from Zero as well.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL4xldcdu9
The thumping became louder once more as if the lives within him were feeding as well.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZwUUAH6F
Nik for his part met eyes with Theia before closing them again and giving into the hunger, feeding ravenously on the expelling energy from the males.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhEmP81D0e
Theia stayed where she was, as if she were entranced. Nik met eyes with her again and he analyzed her carefully even as both males were near their ends.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz0k6lyiz3
She was feeling the effects of the lure, even though he had kept it away from her on purpose. How fascinating.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD2raWmKEt
Her skin shone with a light sheen of sweat, and he sensed how easy it would be to sweep her in as well.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlK4HzdJce
Should he? It would be so easy.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtNYOUkmdT
Nik willed the lure to prolong the pureblood males’ ends as he considered the thought. He wondered how Elijah would react, but he knew that if he so desired it, none of them would remember this.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFxs7Hpur3
Nik looked back at Theia , as he felt her draw nearer. Elijah appeared to notice her presence then, he even went so far as to follow Nik’s line of sight to see Theia behind him.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRpHW7h9Qu
His breath hitched as he felt Elijah stop his thrusts, as if the sight of her brought him out of it all.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOXbNL578i
Always alone.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zYx26frAG
Zero let that thought go, desperate to escape it.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxyUfu2wES
The thumping grew violent and angry, and he lashed out with his lure without any intention.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01HYduKjCT
Elijah and Theia were the victims of his anger and as soon as they made contact, his lure sent them spiraling with a heavy dose of lust in all directions.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDsAauGqWg
Nik watched as Elijah slipped off her dress’ strap, sending the fabric to the floor and leaving Theia in just her panties. She had never had any need for a bra, and it appeared she agreed with that sentiment as well.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sNEn29pzN
He watched as Elijah hefted her up into his arms, her petite body wrapping around his easily. They kissed each other as harshly as anyone who was under Nik’s power was prone to do.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAPZy2ujl6
Nik wanted to pull the lure back, but it was as if it wanted to test the Lockharts, to see how far they’d take it.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXJFxUaek7
Was that pain caused by that thought?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡurzi6WlfmU
Nik felt Alec slip off the table and flip him around so that he was face down on it with his legs braced on the floor. The blonde pureblood continued his thrusts, increasing the force behind them.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EvSD4V7nh
It was only when Nik felt Alec wipe off the wetness on his cheek that he realized he was crying for the first time in who knew how long.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAeXgMRq1c
“Don’t worry, my little incubus.” Alec whispered, rubbing a hand over the more apparent bump on his abdomen as he did so.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡywD7OK4aZq
“I’ll make sure you’ll get all that you need and more.”copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434zVIDRP1
Nik rocked back against the male, desperate to forget and just feel.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Cn1S9Sjb
He let go a wave of his power and he felt the Lockhart’s pleasure through his lure. Soon after, he heard Theia give a sharp hiss before only moans were heard from the two.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RHJYwt3Gs
Nik felt more tears rack down his face.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLvylrgZi6
Why? Why? Why?copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0raCObuY4N
“Harder,” he commanded and Alec chuckled in his ear.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99FRSDnlH3
“As you wish.” the blonde agreed before speeding up his pace, pulling out to the tip till ramming back inside Nik’s entrance.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡObOkJ9M085
So he fed, even as a dreadful stillness burrowed its way into his chest.copyright protection83ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wgLlsgjw
