The Blood Covenant: Book One of The Medici Warrior Series

by Emily Bex

  “Alec? I am getting ready to leave for the evening.”

  ***

  Alec looks up from his work, taking her in as a wicked smile spreads across his face, looking at her from head to toe in black leather.

  “And where are you off to, my darling?”

  Strutting slowly over to the sofa, she smiles down at him. “Your devious darling is on her way to pick up the feeder and head to the warrior’s stomping grounds, to drive out this mousy doormat of a mortal that is pestering you.”

  He laughs, “Oh my darling, if it would not risk spoiling this ploy, I would consider going along, just to enjoy the show.”

  He slides his hand up her smooth leather clad leg. “Please, remember every detail, because I will want a play by play report of Shade's response to this feeder. I told her she could have anything she desires if she could push him to the point of fucking her right there on the floor.”

  He throws his head back and laughs. “Oh, what I wouldn't do to see that, and watch the mortal's puritanical response to the two of them fucking like wild beasts right in front of her. Give your Daddy a kiss before you go.”

  ***

  As he gives her his last instructions, he requests a kiss and it’s just the push she needs to see this through to the very last detail. Straddling his lap, she leans against his chest and whispers softly, “Will Daddy be awake for his baby girl when she gets home?”

  “Oh, you can count on me being awake. I wouldn't miss this for anything.” He slides both hands across that leather clad ass before giving her a hard slap. “Now kiss me and be on your way, the sooner you leave, the sooner we will be done with this mortal.”

  ***

  As she feels his hand slap hard, it feels warm and good, and her heart races knowing what lies in store when she arrives back home. Growling, she kisses him hard on the lips, pulling his bottom lip into her mouth and then letting go, quickly kissing his neck. Standing up, she turns to walk away.

  Her ass is poured into these leathers and she stops without turning, flicks her hair back hard and throws up her hand.

  “Tah, tah, my wicked vampire, I am off to work.”

  ***

  His eyes are glued to her ass as she exits the room, and don't think he doesn't know she twitches that ass to entice him. “I see it, baby girl, and trust me, that ass is mine when you get back here tonight.”

  As she walks away from him, he reaches between his legs and strokes his cock that is already straining against the fabric of his jeans.

  ***

  Strutting out of the room, she stops and pulls the Glock from the drawer of the beautiful curio cabinet just inside the front door and sticks the gun in her purse. A vampire can never take chances dealing with other vampires, especially some lovesick warrior who thinks he is in love with a weak mortal.

  Sliding into the Bugatti, she can feel him, feel his pleasure flowing and it riles her, laying her head back on the leather seat, she growls and moans, her sex aching for release. “Damn it Alec, you know exactly how to fire me up!”

  Sliding the Glock between her legs, the cold steel excites her already heated sex and she moans, sliding it faster and harder against her sex. She can feel his body respond as he strokes himself, and she keeps the same pace, sitting in the driveway, masturbating herself against the hard steel of the Glock, her body almost ready to release. She feels him cum, and she cums as well. Growling loudly, it feels so good, takes the edge off her nerves and he knows it. Throwing the Glock back into her purse, she fires up the engine and pulls out the driveway, squealing tires.

  “Thank you, daddy.”

  “You're welcome, baby girl.”

  Pulling her black Bugatti into the gated community that holds the feeder compound on the outskirts of D.C., Rissa’s mood has already turned, and she is cursing under her breath. She has to pick up the feeder and take her to the warrior’s estate in Virginia. She hates making that drive, and with a feeder no less. There is no way this bitch is sitting up front with her.

  Rissa pulls up to the huge locked gates and lowers her driver’s side window to see the guard at the gate. No one gets into a feeder community that isn’t vamp. The guard looks her over, picking up her scent as Rissa speaks to him.

  “Good evening. I have an appointment. Larissa Benneteau. I am here to pick up Desire and then we will be on our way. I will have her back later this evening.”

  Smiling sweetly, Rissa flicks her hair. Normally, feeders are not taken off the compound, but Alec pulled some strings.

  The guard responds as he opens the gate, “Miss Benneteau, go right on in, she is waiting. Enjoy your evening!”

  “Oh, I plan to, I most assuredly plan to!”

  As the gate opens, she drives up to the front door of the compound and sits there. She’ll be damned if she is getting out of this warm car for some feeder. Rissa watches as Desire comes out of the house and is looking like a piece of candy made for a starving vampire. As she reaches for the passenger door and peers in, Rissa makes it clear she is setting the rules.

  Giving her a stern look, Rissa snaps at her, “Get in the back seat, and remember your instructions.”

  Desire is barely inside the car before Rissa is slamming the Bugatti into gear, and heading out onto the highway, hitting the fast lane, and catching a rare break in D.C. traffic as she drives south to Charlottesville. Rissa looks in the rearview mirror and sneers at the feeder. Desire looks back at her with some trepidation.

  Reaching over, Rissa hits the satellite radio and the gas pedal at the same time and lays her head back on the seat, trying to ignore the feeder on her long drive.

  Rissa lets the feeder know when they are about twenty minutes out from Shade’s estate, so the feeder can masturbate herself to enhance her scent. Feeders are bred to naturally have pheromones that entice and excite the vampires, making the feeder irresistible to them, and designed to enhance both the feeding and sexual experience for the vampire. Having a feeder in a sexually excited state only increases that effect. Desire nods, slides down in the seat and lifts her skirt to do her dirty little deeds as Alec requested of her.

  Rissa’s irritation grows as she feels her own body respond to the hormones released by the feeder, and she has to fight the burning need between her legs. She squirms in her seat, glad she had taken the edge off with the Glock earlier. Still, her mouth salivates in response to the feeder’s pheromones. Looking over her shoulder, she barks at her, “There are towels on the seat, don’t even think you are going to fuck yourself in my car and leave your stench. Do as you are told, you are being paid a handsome sum for this job, and I expect you to deliver on everything you’ve been paid for, if not more.”

  74

  Gi taps at her bedroom door, "My lady, the luggage has arrived from Paris, may I bring it inside?"

  “Of course, Gi, bring it on in.”

  He carries in the luggage as she realizes it would have had to come back on the plane, and she asks him to place the luggage on the bed. She thanks him as he leaves and starts opening and unpacking both her and Shade's bags, sorting through what to put away and what to toss for laundry. She hears the doorbell downstairs and hopes Gi has enough time to get there.

  ***

  Working in the bunker with Luca, Shade needs a break, and besides, he wants to check on bel.

  “Come on Luca, let’s go upstairs and grab some Midnight, we both could use a break!”

  As they head up the winding stairs from the basement, they enter the corridor that leads to the living room and he is going for the Midnight when the doorbell rings. “Bel, Rissa is here, come on down!”

  Shade doesn’t see Gi downstairs, so he heads for the door and swings it open. He is hit with the power of a fucking freight train. Feeder! Aroused feeder! Cazzo! Before he can think, the feeder steps around Rissa and is all over him. His mouth drops and his fangs punch through. She is built like a brick shit house, made to ride hard. Her sex is smoking and instantly fires his cock, turning it to steel immedia
tely. She is climbing on his body, her hands in his hair, and he can’t fucking think. Her neck is right within striking range, and his mouth salivates to feed.

  He balls his hands into fists and holds his arms tightly to his side. His eyes fire to bright red and her blood sings to him, as he tries backing away, but she clings to him. No, no, no! His body is instantly aching to take her where she stands. She is made for this, made to be taken and fucked for his pleasure, and he shakes his head back and forth, growling and fighting the compulsion to respond to an impulse that is coded into his very DNA, the impulse that was designed to insure his very survival.

  “My name is Desire, Master Shade, and I am here to accommodate you. Let me pleasure you master, as only I can. Are you...hungry?”

  Her lips are so fucking close to his, and her body is sliding against him. Every time he takes a step back, she follows, her hands in his hair.

  “No... No! Step the fuck back, now!”

  Rissa fights her own body’s response, as she grips the doorjamb, closing her eyes tight, trying to block out the power of the feeder.

  ***

  As Kate continues to unpack, she can hear Shade speak to her in her head, letting her know Rissa is here, and she starts for the stairs. As she continues down the steps, she can feel a powerful wave of emotion from Shade wash over her. It almost staggers her with its power. Her first reaction is fear, that there is danger, and then she feels his arousal, his overwhelming sexual desire, and…a struggle? What the fuck? She hurries down the remaining steps and into the living room to see Rissa standing in the doorway, gripping the door frame, as if some invincible force is trying to pull her into the room. Luca is approaching with a look of shock on his face. She looks at Shade, and there is a woman in his arms. No, not in his arms, she clings to him, climbing him and yet, Shade’s arms remain rigid at his side. Her eyes glow red as does his, and his fangs are elongated as his head is thrown back, and the saliva drips from his fangs. The woman moves her body against him, undulating her hips, teasing, seducing, luring. Kate watches as Shade is clearly aroused by her, and yet, struggling to resist.

  ***

  Rissa smirks with pride as she slowly opens her eyes to watch the scene unfold before her. She couldn’t have planned it better as Shade whipped open the door and instantly, he goes down. Desire is on top of him before he even knows what hit him. Rissa stays in the doorway, as far from the feeder as she can, when she looks over to see Kate standing in shock. She enjoys the look on Kate’s face as Kate takes in the scene of one hot ass feeder ready to take down her vampire.

  “Oh Kate, there you are! I brought along a feeder for Shade. Her name is Desire. Isn’t she perfect? I thought, perhaps, you would need her. I know it will be such a struggle not letting him feed from you while you are pregnant. But please don’t worry. I have heard she is the best. She comes highly recommended. I can assure you Shade will want for nothing and will be well fed and pleasured during your pregnancy. I have her things in the car, she can move in tonight.”

  Smiling sweetly at Kate, as she continues to maintain her grip on the doorframe and keeping her distance from the feeder, Rissa puts on the act of her life when she hears a thud and looks over to see Luca on his knees beside Shade, as he too fights his body’s response to the feeder. Oh my, two for one. How lucky is this girl tonight?

  “Oh dear... well, that was unexpected.”

  ***

  Shade’s body is trembling, trying to get control, and his beast is right on the surface, riled up and wanting to take this feeder. The beast is pushing him beyond his limits of control. “Fuck, Luca!” Shade is aware of Luca dropping to the floor beside him when he stepped in to help, only to succumb to power of the feeder. “Luca, fight! Fuck, help me!”

  ***

  Luca hears Shade’s plea for help, but the scent of the feeder’s sex overcomes him, and he is helpless to respond. A feeder’s scent is designed to excite the beast, to make the feeder irresistible, but he has experienced nothing like this before. She is on top of master before he can even focus. His fangs punch and his eyes turn, and the growl instantly rolls out of him. Luca can’t move and all he wants is to mount her and gorge himself on her blood.

  As master backs up, the feeder gets closer to him, and Luca can’t fight his own urges. He wants to rip her from Shade and take her right here. He hears Shade calling for help but Luca is powerless. All he wants is her. Dropping to his knees, he fights with his beast who craves to take the feeder. Luca fights like hell not to rip her from Shade and take her on the floor.

  ***

  Shade continues his struggle, every muscle tensed. His breathing is ragged, the feeder has taken both males down and then Shade feels bel and hears Rissa's voice and the feeder is all over him. His body trembles with want. He has never had to resist the pull of a feeder before, and this one arrived ready to service him. His body fights the beast, but the beast is winning this battle, when he screams out for her.

  “Bel!”

  ***

  Kate looks at Rissa, trying to process Rissa's words. She brought this bitch into my house? She brought him a feeder?

  Kate looks back at the redheaded feeder, she is like Kate, only more. More hair, more tits, more ass, and she is glued to Shade as Kate watches him stepping backward to escape her. The feeder matches him step for step, her breasts pressed against his chest, her hips pressed to his and she can hear Shade’s words in her head, and his plea to Luca, as she watches Luca drop to his knees. What the fuck is going on? Luca is under her spell as well?

  Her heart is pounding as her blood begins to boil. How dare she? How dare this bitch? Kate launches herself at the feeder and grabs a handful of those curled red locks and yanks at her with all her strength, screaming at her.

  “Get off him, you fucking bitch!”

  The feeder is momentarily pulled back as she turns her head to Kate and bares her fangs and delivers a long hiss. The feeder pulls away from Kate and clings to Shade even tighter. The feeder starts to literally climb his body, wrapping her legs around him as she uses her tongue to lick at his neck, his lips. Kate grabs her by the hair again and pulls with all her strength and reaches around her to try to pull her away, clawing at her face, pummeling her hard.

  The feeder hisses and growls at her, snapping at her with her teeth, but is refusing to release her grip on Shade. Kate is no match for the feeder’s physical strength, but she refuses to let her have him. Kate reaches behind Shade to the blade he keeps sheathed in his waistband and removes the knife. This is not a fight she intends to lose. She swings the blade across the feeder’s face, leaving a diagonal gash, and the blood starts to pour. The feeder releases her grip on Shade as she throws her hands over her face. Kate grabs her hair again and yanks with all her strength as the feeder lets go of the tight grip of her legs around his hips and drops back to the floor. Kate raises the knife once again, prepared to cut her throat, remove her head if she needs to.

  ***

  Shade fights but can’t break from her. She is climbing him like a fucking tree and bel attacks, and he is not expecting that, as she rips at the feeder’s hair. He is trying to scream to Kate and fight off this feeder from his body. He hears the feeder hiss at Kate.

  “Bel, no!”

  Shade knows Kate is no physical match for the female vampire, she could easily kill her. He is fighting now for himself, and for bel, when he feels the feeder break free from his body as blood splatters everywhere. His mind is reeling, and everything is happening at warp speed. The feeder lies on the floor, covering her slashed face. He sees bel with his blade, ready to take her head off.

  His beast responds, moving faster than the mortal eye can see, and grabs Kate into his arms, the blade still in her hand held high in the air. She is kicking and screaming in his arms like a wild cat.

  “Kate, Stop!”

  He keeps one hand tight around Kate’s waist as he holds her back against his chest. He reaches up and grabs her hand that holds the knife.


  “Kate, stop fighting! I am okay. The spell is broken. I am free of her.”

  Then he hears the hissing growl of another beast and he knows Rissa is ready to attack anything that moves. Shade moves very carefully from this moment on. He wants her fucking head on his wall at this point, but he sure as fuck doesn’t want Alec here. Shade can take him on, and although he is not a warrior, he is older and strong, and it would be a fight to the death.

  “Luca, get up!”

  Spinning around, Shade sees Luca rise from the floor and go into a crouch to stalk Rissa. He is about to lose his life if he touches her. Alec will seek the ultimate revenge.

  “No, Luca, she belongs to Alec, listen to your master. Stay on guard!”

  Watching as Luca’s eyes never leave Rissa, he growls his response and stands within close striking range if she makes one false move.

  ***

  Kate feels Shade lifting her off her feet and pulling her away from the bitch, and she is fighting to get back to her, to kill her, when she feels his strong grip as he holds her against his chest. She hears his words, and realizes he is free of her. He has broken free from whatever spell she held over him. The relief washes over her as she drops the knife from her hand and hears the metallic clang as it hits the floor. But now, Rissa is growling, and Shade is shouting orders at Luca, who looks poised to strike. What is going on?

  ***

  Shade hears the clanging of metal on the floor and knows the knife is down, and feels Kate turn toward his chest, and he knows she is okay. He snuggles into her neck, never taking his eyes off the scene before him.

  “Shhh mi amore, I have you, nothing is going to hurt you.”

  He turns toward Rissa, and his growl is loud and vibrates through bel.

  “Get...the...fuck...out...of...my...house. Take that bitch with you.”

  His voice is low and lethal, and Rissa retracts her fangs. Luca moves close behind, ready to escort them both out.
