The two new vampires seemed to be distracted by the holy water, but that was only temporary. Vincent had a small shield in each hand now and was attacking Malkye with those. Alucard weaved in and out of the fight and cleaned up the occasional werewolf when they came in from outside.
I grabbed the closest weapon to me, which was a spear. I turned around just in time to run it through the female vampire. Actually, she was running toward me so fast that her own momentum ran her through. All I had to do was hold the spear steady. She shrieked and started pulling the spear through her, drawing herself closer to me. Out of nowhere Alucard appeared. He snatched her back by the hair and severed her head at the neck. Without hesitation he turned and threw the head full force at the approaching male vampire.
Chapter Twenty Five
I had accidentally gotten her through the heart and Alucard had taken care of her head. That was one vampire down and two to go. I let go of the spear and the female vamp hit the floor with a disgusting thud. Alucard kicked her body out of the way and stood directly in front of me, blocking the other vampire’s path. Being hit with his fellow vampire’s head didn’t seem to have done anything for this guy’s disposition. He snarled and displayed a set of impressively long fangs. It was clearly a threat.
“Come on asshole,” Alucard said. “Show me what you’ve got.”
I grabbed a shield off of the rack behind me, because I didn’t think I could lift one of the swords. The next thing I knew the vampire came crashing into us. He knocked Alucard back into me and though Alucard recovered quickly I wasn’t as fortunate. I hit my head on the shield I was trying to lift and the world spun before my eyes. I slid down the wall and felt blood splash across my face as Alucard took down our attacker.
Sharp pains stabbed through my head and I couldn’t see straight. I could feel something warm and sticky near my hairline and knew it must be my own blood.
“Jewel.” I could hear Alucard beside me, but I couldn’t quite focus on his face. “Hang on,” he said.
Metal clanged against metal as the fight raged on. I was lying on the floor now and I turned to see Vincent fending off Malkye’s attacks with the two shields. Then Alucard called out to him and tossed Vincent his sword. I know it’s a cliché, but the room really was growing dark. I blacked out for a moment and the next thing I knew Malkye was lying on the floor not far from me with what looked like a table leg through his chest. I saw Vincent raise the sword high and closed my eyes. Mission accomplished, but what was going to happen to me?
I felt someone lifting me. In a moment I knew it was Alucard and it felt like he was carrying me upstairs.
“Hang on, Jewel,” he repeated. “I can fix this.”
I was bleeding to death from a severe head wound. How could he possibly fix this? The next thing I knew I was resting on a bed and Alucard and Vincent were both standing over me. Vincent still had wings and he was still pale, but those were the only things unusual about his appearance now.
“Take my blood,” Alucard told him. “Do it as you give her yours.”
“Are you certain?” Vincent asked.
“It will work.”
“What are you doing?” My voice was weak and I could feel myself fading fast.
“It’s about what the witch said, I figured it out,” Alucard said. “Now just rest and do as I say. Everything will be alright.”
I watched as he rolled up his sleeve and offered his wrist to Vincent. Watching him drink from Alucard was strangely erotic, even under the circumstances. I felt dizzy, but I wasn’t in any pain. With his lips still pressed to Alucard’s wrist, Vincent drew his fingernail over his chest and a trickle of blood poured over his pale skin.
He lifted me gently in his arms. “Drink,” Alucard whispered. I had little choice, because I knew I would die otherwise. As I began to drink from Vincent, Alucard spoke softly. “Blood of our blood. Flesh of our flesh.”
I understood then. If Vincent had Alucard’s blood flowing in his veins and I drank from him, I would belong to them both. Vincent pulled me back from him and released Alucard’s wrist. Alucard sat down beside me and brushed back the hair from my face.
“I grant you everlasting life, beauty and power. Walk with me and you will never be alone.”
He kissed me and the spell was complete. Magic washed over us in a wave, so powerful that it blew back our hair and the bed curtains as it passed. I felt my head and there was no injury. There was still blood, but I was completely healed.
“That’s it?” I asked, relieved. “It was that simple?”
“That simple,” Alucard said.
He smiled down at me and I felt the strangest sensation flowing through my body.
“Didn’t you tell me that vampire blood was an aphrodisiac?”
“That’s right.”
“Especially the blood of an incubus,” Vincent added.
One look told me they both knew what was on my mind. A weight had just been lifted off of me. I was going to spend an eternity with the men I loved. Maybe it was the elation of the moment. Or maybe it was the blood. Whatever the reason I was overcome with my desire for them. I ripped open the front of Alucard’s shirt and was amazed at my strength. He had told me that I would inherit a portion of his strength, but I thought that would take time.
“Take me.” I turned to Vincent, placing my hand on his chest. “Both of you.”
I didn’t have to ask twice. Alucard started stripping out of his clothes as I moved toward Vincent. I backed him up against the headboard with his wings spread wide. Maybe there was something to this aphrodisiac theory after all, because I was starving for the taste of his flesh. I unzipped his pants and took his cock into my mouth. He moaned and threw back his head. The cuts on his chest were healed and I ran my hands over his smooth flesh while I sucked him long and hard.
I pulled back and Alucard helped me take off the coat. He pulled my sweater over my head and by the time it hit the floor Vincent was sucking my nipples through the thin fabric of my bra. Alucard reached around me from behind and unzipped my jeans. I wanted them so much. The desire coursing through me was like nothing I had ever felt.
“Take me now,” I panted, pulling Vincent’s head from my breasts. “I need you.”
Alucard worked the jeans down to my hips and pulled me back against him. While I rested back against his naked body, Vincent removed my jeans and spread my legs wide. We had dressed in a hurry and I hadn’t bothered to wear panties.
He lowered his head toward my pussy and I started to grind myself against his face.
“Yes,” I moaned. “Lick it.”
Alucard cupped my breasts in his hands while Vincent lapped at my clit. I leaned back and Alucard kissed me long and deep. His tongue plunged into my mouth as Vincent pulled back and plunged inside of me with his cock. My cry of pleasure was lost in Alucard’s kiss. If it weren’t for Alucard’s body beneath me, Vincent might have pounded me through the mattress. Vincent leaned over me, grinding against me as he sucked my breasts once more. I felt him withdraw from me and Alucard took his place. While Vincent kissed me Alucard pressed slowly up and into my body. He moved his thighs, spreading my legs wider and I cried out as he moved faster. I moved almost into a sitting position and he supported me with his hands against my back. He moved faster and faster. All the while Vincent trailed kisses up and down my body.
I could feel the pressure building at the base of my spine. I reached down and grabbed his shaft, grinding myself against him as I came. Alucard reached for me and I collapsed back against him as he withdrew from me. He and Vincent took turns. They were toying with me. In and out, back and forth. I wanted them both. At the same time.
“Take me at the same time,” I commanded softly.
Alucard pressed a kiss against my throat and I trembled. “Where would you have me?”
“In my ass.”
He took me slowly and I cried out with pleasure. I had never done anything like this before and I was thrilled. Both of them there, tou
ching me, holding me, worshiping my body. It was almost too much.
Alucard spread my legs wide once more and Vincent pressed against my pussy, entering me just as slowly. I could feel myself stretching, split wide open from both directions. They were so big. Vincent moved only slightly and I came again. Vincent’s body was slick with sweat and as he rubbed down the front of me I wanted to scream with delight. I could feel Alucard, hard as a rock beneath me, doing all the wicked things I wanted him to do to my ass. The sensations were more than I could stand. Orgasm after orgasm rocked my body. It wasn’t long before I passed out.
Just like that our new relationship was consummated … in Malkye’s bed.
* * * *
After that night I understood what the witch had meant about destiny and salvation. It was my destiny to be with them both and their blood had been my salvation. The choice was really made for me based on the circumstances. I hadn’t needed the cookies after all, because I knew what I wanted all along. And it was exactly what I got.
Belonging to both of them was really not so difficult. Alucard remained head of the vampire council and Vincent turned down the seat vacated by Malkye. I inherited different strengths from both of them and we could now communicate telepathically. Sometimes that was good, sometimes (like when I was having a wet dream) it could be annoying. But I really enjoyed it most of the time.
I spent my time going back and forth between Alucard’s home and my own. Vincent still lived with me and Alucard stayed there more and more. Eventually, I wanted us to live together full time.
The movie was released a few months later and was a huge success. Vincent was listed in the credits as “himself.” It created a huge stir and great publicity for the movie. I got more than a few strange looks when I took two dates to the after party, but nothing’s perfect.
Brea took Officer Andrew Bell to the premiere. She and Andy were dating now and she was convinced that he was the new love the witch had predicted she would meet. I agreed. They made a perfect couple. Even Matt approved. He took the news about me living forever surprisingly well. Once he knew Vincent wasn’t out to hurt me, he really didn’t have a problem with us dating. Although, having Alucard around was going to take some getting used to as far as Matt was concerned. Maybe one day he would meet someone. Matt deserved to be happy, although he insisted that he was.
After what happened to Malkye, if the rest of the council had a problem with us they weren’t speaking up about it. There may come a time when vampires decide to go public. But for the moment they remain in the coffin. I hope they come out in my natural lifetime, because I don’t want to have to fake my own death. Although Alucard keeps insisting that plenty of celebrities have pulled it off, I just don’t want the hassle.
As for my career, I am grateful for Vincent letting me use his story. But I’m ready to write my own stories now. And with the two of them around I’m sure they’ll be no shortage of inspiration. I keep thinking back to what Vincent said in his journals about love. “Do not approach love as if you have experienced it before. Approach it like you do not know what it is. Let it take you by surprise and with your passion, bring it to life.”
That’s what I believe is happening to me. Their love is truly bringing me to life. So you see, it is possible to serve two masters, no matter what Alucard used to think. But what I like best about the whole arrangement is when they serve me.
