Deception

by Toni Goode

  “Emma, This isn’t…” He began but she cut him off as her mouth crashed into his more urgently now and surprisingly he didn’t stop her this time. He deepened the kiss as his hands roamed over her back and her ass as he pushed her against him. She could immediately feel his erection against her stomach and it did something to her. Something she couldn’t explain. Her hands pulled at his long hair and then the music was ending as they pulled back. Both of them panting slightly as they stood there. She bit her bottom lip and then she turned and saw Lana standing there with a raised eyebrow and she immediately became flushed.

  Even Aidan looked perplexed as he walked from her and over to the bar for a drink. Lana walked over to Emma who was trying to act nonchalant about what just happened.

  “Um ok. That was surprising.” Lana said with a smirk.

  “Um yeah. I don’t um.” Emma began to ramble.

  “Oh, you don’t have to explain anything to me girl. Do your thing.” Lana smirked as the girls walked back over to another table.

  Aidan ordered a blood drink at the bar even though he hated that shit but right now he needed something to control the urge he had otherwise he may end up draining Emma. He drank it back and forced it down as he looked across he club. Emma was talking with Lana. He wanted her so bad right now he could barely see straight. She looked over at him the way he looked at her was so intense that she felt her stomach tighten. She never had anyone look at her like that. She quickly looked away and back at Lana who was talking still.

  “And then I’m like whatever your not the boss of me Sam. I swear sometimes I hate men.” Lana continued and as Emma shook her head. “I mean like what am I supposed to do just drop everything and be with him for eternity? I mean eternity is a long time to be with someone.” Lana continued.

  “I don’t know. I think it sounds kind of sweet ya know. I mean for someone to say they want to be with you forever and actually mean it. I don’t know, it doesn’t sound so bad to me.” Emma said softly as Aidan walked back over to them.

  “Let’s ask the big man, what do you think about forever Aidan.” Lana asked him as he looked at her confused. “Like do you believe in all of that be with one person for forever bullshit?” She asked him.

  “No, it’s bullshit.” He said, and Emma looked at him quick. He didn’t look back at her.

  “See, it’s all just smoke and mirrors Emma. Don’t ever get caught up in the bullshit.” Lana smiled.

  “Sure.” Emma said uncomfortably as she looked back at Aidan, but he was purposely not looking at her. It bothered her. Had she done something wrong.

  “We should get drinks, what do you want?” Lana asked Emma.

  “Surprise me.” Emma said quickly as Lana walked back off to the bar and Emma looked at Aidan. “Are you having fun?” Emma asked him as he looked at her now.

  He answered honestly. “No. I hate these places.” He said seriously not to mention he was trying everything in his power not to spread her out on the table and fuck her senseless. He could barely look at her.

  “Oh.” Emma said uncomfortably. He looked pissed and it was upsetting. He looked like he really didn’t want to be around her at all. Maybe kissing him was a bad idea, I mean she was just a weak human to him and nothing more. She was sure that he found others like him more attractive. Thoughts began to run in her mind. “Did you want to dance again.” She said as she looked at him.

  “No.” He said with a sarcastic laugh. He couldn’t even look at her right now, dancing with her would be completely out of the question.

  Emma didn’t know what to think as she stood there. He was being incredibly rude. Thankfully Lana came over and handed her a drink. She downed it.

  “Now that is what I am talking about! Lets dance!” Lana took her hand and Emma smiled.

  “I thought you would never ask.” Emma said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at Aidan who glanced at her.

  Aidan watched as the girls began to dance. He could see the way the other guys were looking at Emma. She definitely had way too much to drink and he watched as some of the younger vamps moved closer to her. He watched intently and the second one of the young vamps touched her waist he was up and over there in a second as he grabbed the young vamps hand off of her and he shook his head.

  Emma spun around, and Aidan was right there. She smiled and went to put her hands around his neck, but he grabbed both of her wrists. “I think you have had enough to drink for tonight. We need to go.” He said as she yanked her hands back.

  “Excuse me? I’m not ready to go yet.” Emma snapped angrily at him.

  “I don’t really care what you think, were going.” He said seriously.

  “Aidan, what are you doing. Were having fun!” Lana looked at him.

  “Yeah well she is done.” Aidan grabbed her wrist and before Emma could protest he was moving them quickly out of the club.

  “Hey! Stop it! I said I am not ready!” Emma said as they got outside, and he spun her around to look at him.

  “Trust me your done. You can’t let your guard down like that in a club full of vampires. You’re smarter than that Emma.” He said angrily.

  “Well at least they want to dance with me!” She snapped at him as she yanked her hand back, but he was in front of her in a second.

  “You think I don’t want to dance with you?” He said in shock.

  “It’s obvious that you find me repulsive.” She said with a shake of her head.

  “Repulsive? Are you kidding me? I have to do everything in me not to fuck you on the table!” He snapped at her and her eyes got wide as she looked at him and before she could say anything his mouth was colliding with hers as he pushed her back up against the cement wall of the building.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Emma felt like they were flying through the air as Aidan’s mouth devastated hers. She felt light headed and weak as she pulled on his hair and he pressed her harder into him. Out of no where she felt her back fall onto a bed as her eyes shot open. She had no idea how they had gotten there and then he was pulling off his shirt with urgency and then hers as his mouth attacked hers again.

  Emma felt like her body was on fire as he tore her clothes from her and he controlled her body in a way she had never experienced. Aidan could barely think straight, all he knew is that he wanted to be inside of her. He had to be inside of her. His hands roamed over her naked flesh and then he was pulling her close. His mouth moved to her neck as he licked against her skin before entering her hard and fast as she cried out. It was in that moment that he was snapped back to reality because the feeling as he sunk into her was unlike anything he had ever felt but something was not right. He pulled his mouth from her neck and he saw the tears streaming down her face.

  It all began to fall into place as he stayed buried deep inside of her and if he had a heart it would be beating hard right now as he looked at her.

  “Jesus, you’re virgin?” He said in shock as she shook her head and tears fell down her cheeks. “Oh god, what the hell have I done?” He went to move but she held onto his back, holding him in place.

  “Please don’t stop. I wanted this, with you. Please.” She begged him as he looked at her and swallowed hard.

  He had entered her body like an animal and he was having a hard time dealing with reality right now.

  “Emma why didn’t you say anything. Your first time shouldn’t have been like this.” He said honestly as he looked at her.

  “Would you have been with me if I told you?” She asked as he just looked at her. “I wanted this, I want this. Don’t you?” She asked with wide eyes.

  “Of course, I do but not at the expense of your pain.” He said seriously.

  “It doesn’t hurt much, anymore.” She said with a shaking voice. “Please don’t stop. I want you Aidan.” She pulled his mouth to hers as she kissed him softly. He fell into the kiss and she moved her body slowly under him. She kept kissing him as moved with her slowly. He was so scared to hurt her that he could barely mo
ve at all.

  Aidan pulled his mouth from hers as he brushed her hair from her eyes. He moved slowly against her as her neck arched and she bit her lip. He continued to move against her. He had never had to control himself in bed with anyone, it was difficult to say the least especially when her body clenched his so tight. He moved his mouth against her exposed breasts and she let out a small moan as he sucked against the sensitive flesh.

  Emma’s release rocked her body as it hit her unexpectantly and Aidan’s release came right after. They both lay on the bed now staring at the ceiling. No one saying anything for a moment.

  “Are you ok? Your not hurting, are you?” Aidan finally spoke as he rolled his head to the side and he looked at her.

  “No, I’m not hurting. That was amazing.” She smiled, and he shook his head as he leaned up on one arm.

  “You should have said something earlier Emma, I could have really hurt you.” He said seriously. He was still in shock over what had occurred.

  “I didn’t want you to think I was a loser or something.” She said softly.

  “A loser? I could never think that of you Emma. Your amazing and that was amazing.” He said seriously as he leaned over and kissed her lips softly.

  “Can we go again?” She asked with a smile.

  “You don’t even need to ask.” Aidan grinned as he pulled her on top of him as he kissed her passionately.

  Meanwhile a few towns away Emma’s father Raymond stared into his own crystal ball as he watched his daughter in bed with a vampire but not just any vampire. It was the one he had been looking for. The one that killed his sister so long ago.

  Rage filled him as he stopped himself from smashing the crystal ball. He felt sick, like physically ill as he stood there. He would not lose his daughter to a vile vampire. He refused to, but he knew that he would have to show her exactly what Aidan was all about.

  He went through old news papers from the time when his sister died, and he stopped on one article that made him grin. It was an obituary for the Vampire Woman that Aidan had been in love with, her name was Natalie and Raymond had killed her. An eye for an eye but now that vampire scum was messing with his daughter and he wouldn’t allow it.

  He moved across the room fast and pulled out an ancient black book. The book of the dead. He had an idea in his head and it was sure to not only bring Emma running back to him, but it would ultimately destroy Aidan. Raymond would make sure of it.

  He flipped through the pages and he stopped on a resurrection page. It was forbidden for any witch to use these spells, but hard times called for harder measures. Raymond rushed to get all of the supplies he would need.

  Emma rolled onto her back as she panted heavily. “Is it always like this?” She said nearly breathless.

  “You have no idea.” Aidan grinned as he looked over at her. He smiled. He actually smiled.

  “Wow, so that is what it looks like.” Emma smirked.

  “What?” Aidan asked in confusion.

  “What a smile looks like on you. It’s nice, I like it.” She smiled at him big.

  “Yeah well I can thank you for that but don’t tell anyone. It may ruin my tough guy exterior.” He smirked as he leaned over and kissed her again. “I should feed you, I am sure your starving.” He said as he sat up.

  “A little.” She sat up to and she brought the sheet with her.

  “Don’t go anywhere, I will be right back.” He said as he quickly got dressed and she watched. He was so beautiful. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched him speed around the room like only a vampire can. He walked over to her and placed a kiss on her forehead before he took off. Emma sighed heavily as she sat there.

  She eventually got up and her body reminded her of what she had just went through. She was sore but a good sore. She headed into the bathroom and she smiled when she looked at herself. So, this is what losing your virginity felt like. She couldn’t get the ridiculous grin off her face.

  Aidan went through two towns to find her food, but he finally was able to get a burger and fries. He forgot what it was like to eat, sometimes he missed it. He couldn’t stop thinking about Emma and how freaking wonderful she was. It was a long time since he thought he would ever feel this way about another person. Not since Natalie.

  Emma took a long hot shower and got dressed just in time for Aidan to come back with some burgers and fries for her. She ate like she hadn’t ate in days and though it was technically true, she tried to eat civilized. It was odd eating around someone who didn’t eat at all.

  “Do you miss eating?” She asked him, and he grinned.

  “Sometimes but its also nice not being hungry or getting tired.” He said honestly.

  “So, when you were in the ground for all that time could you hear what was happening above you?” She was curious.

  “Sometimes. When you let yourself turn off to the world then it is a sort of sleeping state your in but then I heard your voice. That’s what woke me up.” He said honestly.

  “My voice, wow. That’s pretty awesome.” She said with a smirk.

  “Yeah pretty awesome.” He smiled as he sat across from her. “You know your father is going to come looking for you.” He finally said, and she swallowed hard.

  “I know. I just don’t want to be part of that anymore. I should be able to have my own life and be happy.” She said seriously.

  “I know but the world is different now. If we do this then its going to be difficult, you know that right?” He said seriously.

  “Do what? A relationship?” She asked with wide eyes. She wasn’t expecting him to stay those words.

  “Yeah, If your up for it.” He smiled.

  “Up for it? Of course, I am.” She grinned big.

  “Well good, cause I’m up for it too.” He leaned over and kissed her lips softly and then pulled back.

  “I could get use to all this attention from you.” She swallowed hard. He was intense but a good intense.

  “Oh, I hope so cause you haven’t seen anything yet.” His mouth collided with hers in a soft kiss.

  A few towns away Raymond chanted over a black cauldron as he set it on fire. Black smoke filled the room and fire began to shoot out of the smoke. He chanted louder as the room began to shake as books fell off the counters all around him. In the black smoke an image began to appear. It was in the shape of a person. He continued his chant as the lights in the room flickered and then a bright light filled the room nearly blinding him as a scream was heard loud. The smoke began to settle as he glanced down at the body laying in the fetal position on the ground.

  She was naked and shivering. Her long dark hair laying across her face. Raymond reached down and touched her arm as she jumped up now.

  Natalie looked around with confusion as she saw a big room filled with books. Her memories were flooding back, and her head began to ache as she cried out. Where was she? Where was Aidan?

  “Here use this.” Raymond handed her a blanket to cover her naked body with.

  Natalie looked confused at the man standing before her. “Where am I? What is going on?” She said with confusion as memories came flooding back to her. She saw Aidan and she saw Demetri. There was a party, she was there. Her head began to ache as she cried out and grabbed it.

  “It’s ok. Your ok.” Raymond said as she looked at him with confusion.

  “Who are you? Why am I here? Where is Aidan?” She said with confusion.

  “I’m going to answer all your questions. My name is Raymond and I am here to help you Natalie.” He said with a smile. “Lets get you dressed first and then you will know about everything.”

  To be continued…

  Stay tuned for the next installment of The Seduction series. How will Aidan react when he see’s that Natalie is alive and well? What will become of Emma? Will Aidan stay with Emma or will Natalie take her place back in his heart? Everything and more will be answered in Book 3, Resurrection.
