“Well we wouldn’t be destitute with my bank balance either.” Allegra told him. “Believe it or not I was, well I am a very successful author and the series I’ve written has made me a lot of money, millions and the last book hasn’t been released yet. If all else fails, I could always write more books. Perhaps our relationship would make for a wonderful love story.” She smiled.
“So you would be prepared to move to another country cara where you will not be able to speak the language? I can teach you Italian but you could feel quite isolated for a while until you start to learn enough to get by. Of course there are a lot of Italians who can speak some english too, but to live there for the rest of our lives would require you to learn Italian.”
“I would do it for you Dominick. I love you and if it means we’re free of Fabian forever then I’m ready. I have to wonder if he will allow it though but surely to know that I’m making no demands on him would please him? I have no desire to control him, over power him whatever he’s worried I might do. I want none of it. I just want us to be able to live our lives in peace and together.” She reached out to cup his cheek and press her lips to the corner of his mouth.
Dominick groaned at her gentle touch and her words filled him with such love for her. God he hoped that his sire would let them go but he worried that he wouldn’t trust her word that she wanted nothing from him other than to release them.
“What would you do with your home cara? It’s your family home too is it not?”
“Yes it is and I can’t throw Cassie out Dominick. She’s been my friend for years and she’s been there for me for a long time. If Fabian agrees to let us go, I know what I will do with my home and for Cassie but I will need to put it in writing, to make it binding. It will be a solution for myself and my friend.”
“So does that mean we are in agreement that we will leave the country and make our own future in Italy without further contact with Fabian or my brothers and sister? You will be alright with having no further contact with Cassie or your editor cara? You know that once we go, we will probably not be able to return. My guess is that Fabian will not tolerate our return at any stage as he will forever perceive you as a threat to his position in the vampire world.”
“I can make the necessary sacrifices Dominick for us but despite the fact that they seem to annoy you and frustrate you, are you sure you will not miss your sire and your brothers and sister? Especially Francesca? She can be challenging I’ve noticed, but she does love you, she demonstrated that when you were trying to kill yourself after we split up and I think you love her too.”
Dominick groaned. “Ok, yes, I do love her even though she drives me crazy at times. She can be a bitch, she likes to test my patience frequently but trust me cara, I will be able to walk away and not look back. You are all I need in my life, you are my one true love, the only one I need to feel complete, I just hope that you feel the same way because eternity is a long time and it will feel longer if you are not happy with me combined with living in a country where nothing and no one are familiar.”
Allegra slipped to the floor, moving between Dominick’s legs, her hands cupping his face. “Listen to me and get it through that gorgeous head of yours. I love you, only you. I will love you for all eternity, I will love you no matter where we live. I only want you, I only need you. You are all I care about so please, stop questioning whether I will be happy baby. I will always be happy as long as I’m with you.”
She leaned forward to kiss him and Dominick felt desire flare between them. He loved her so much and he desired her almost constantly, he had from the first moment he’d seen her, before she had even known he existed.
“Oh cara, fuck, what you do to me. I want you, I want to fuck you.” He moaned against her lips and Allegra sighed as she ran her hands up his thighs until she could press them against the fly of his jeans where his cock pushed back, hard and ready against the denim.
He tensed when she slowly unzipped him and reached inside to pull his dick out, cupping the long thick length of it between both hands.
As he watched, she lowered her head and his fangs descended with his growing excitement as her lips closed around him, taking him deep into her mouth. She sucked on him, drawing him deeper and deeper into her until he could feel the head of his cock brush the back of her throat.
Faster and faster she moved over him and he watched her, watched himself disappearing deep into her mouth, watching her head bobbing as she moved up and down over him, sucking on him, licking him and driving him closer and closer to the release he could feel building within him.
Fuck but she could drive him crazy so quickly, have him needing to come so fast but he didn’t want to come in her mouth, he wanted to feel the tight embrace of her sweet cunt rippling along him, milking him, driving him towards his release.
“Cara, no, please, stop. I don’t want to come like this. I need to come inside you, inside that wet pussy of yours. I want to feel it gripping me and squeezing me. Please, please, let me come in that tight cunt of yours.”
His words finally got through to her and she raised her head, seeing his fangs which gave away how strong his arousal was and she smiled, climbing to her feet.
She slipped her hands under her skirt to remove her panties and curled her hands around his neck, as she straddled him and lowered herself onto his waiting cock.
He groaned as he felt himself being taken deep within her soaked pussy and his arms closed around her, holding her tight as his lips trailed down her cheek to her neck where he bit into her, drawing on her blood.
Allegra screamed and climaxed, her muscles milking along him, tightening like a vice around him and despite the fact their bodies were still, the feel of her rippling along his cock, was all it took to tip him over the edge, combined with the taste of her blood.
He pumped into her, loading her up, tearing his lips from her neck, groaning as his body jerked and trembled as he came deep inside her.
His eyes met hers and he smiled. “Fuck cara, that was too fast. I wanted to fuck nice and slow but you turn me on too much and I lose all control with you.”
Allegra gave him a lazy smile, her eyes flaring with renewed heat at his words. “Well, let’s class that one as taking the edge off. Now how about you show me just how you really wanted to fuck me?” She bent forward to kiss him and Dominick growled, his hands coming up to cup her cheeks.
“Your wish is my command cara.” He whispered before covering her lips with his.
*********
Allegra.
When Dominick pulled up in Fabian’s driveway a few days later, I felt my stomach tighten into a hard knot. The week was over, we were back to see him and for me to tell him what decision I’d made.
Francesca greeted us at the heavy metal door and blew us air kisses before walking ahead of us down the long corridor to the circular shaped living room where again Fabian, Damien and Lucian waited.
Those strange pale, penetrating eyes of Fabian’s met mine and I saw the flare of his desire which he immediately tried to hide by turning from my gaze. It was annoying that any kind of attraction lingered between us, but it did and although I would never act on it, it didn’t change the fact that it was always there, just below the surface.
Damien and Lucian sat up when they saw me and I noticed a flash of wariness in their eyes. Damn but was everyone going to treat me like I was psycho crazy lady now? I had no intention of hurting anyone as long as they didn’t hurt me.
“Allegra, Nick, welcome.” Fabian said as we walked into the room and we both greeted him, nodded to the others and as he sat down, we took a seat on the plush leather lounge.
“So little one, how are you finding life as a vampire?” Fabian asked and I raised an eyebrow at him. He seriously wanted to make small talk now?
“It’s fine thank you. I haven’t had any problems controlling myself when feeding and I have even been able to do some mind altering on humans.”
He said nothing, simply stared at m
e for several minutes, enough time that I started to feel uncomfortable under his gaze. “You never fail to amaze me Allegra. You are indeed very powerful and also you have all the makings of being a great vampire. I guess that leads to my next question. Have you come to any decisions regarding your future and what you intend doing with your newly discovered power?”
I tensed and I felt Dominick tense up too. Here we were, at this point, where we’d tried to picture ourselves all week and now the challenge was telling Fabian what I wanted to do, what we hoped to achieve and wondering what his reaction would be.
“Firstly Fabian, I need you to remember that I never asked to be turned vampire. In fact I came to you to ask you to wipe my memory so I wouldn’t have to go through the pain of every day without Dominick in my life. I wasn’t interested in becoming vampire but it all started to go wrong when you couldn’t alter my memories.”
“I do remember very well little one.” His eyes glowed with renewed desire and I realised he was remembering the deal I’d made with him up until he discovered I couldn’t be mind controlled.
“I didn’t know I had any kind of special power and to be honest, I want no part of it. If you think I’ve spent the week plotting your downfall or how I can force some kind of take over Fabian, then I’m sorry but you will be disappointed. I want nothing from you, I don’t want to hurt you, I only have one thing I want from you. I want you to release Dominick and I, let us go, let us walk away.”
“What do you mean Allegra? Release you from what?”
“I may not have been a vampire very long but I know that you rule Fabian, that Dominick, Francesca, Damien and Lucian are obligated to you. If you need them to do things for you, they are expected to be available to do them. They all do as you ask even Dominick although it would appear that you do like to punish him and torture him on occasion as a way of making him pay for not entirely embracing the vampire way of life but is that really fair?” I studied Fabian’s expression for a reaction to my words.
“The idea of giving up power, the control that you hold now is abhorrent to you is it not?” I looked at him to confirm what I suspected and he nodded. “So why make Dominick suffer simply because he wants the quieter life? To try and live a life as close to human as he can? It annoys you that he would prefer to be human doesn’t it? So because of that, you make him suffer but he wants to be free to live his life as he chooses as much as you wish to retain your power and control.”
“Well said Allegra, fair comment. So now if you could get to the point and tell me exactly what you want?” He raised his brows at me.
“I’ve made my decision on what I want to do with my newly discovered ‘abilities’.” I said quietly. “Nothing, I don’t wish to do anything. I don’t want to use them against you, none of you.” I looked around the room into the eyes of Dominick’s brothers and sister.
“I don’t want to hurt any of you, I don’t want to take your position from you Fabian, I only want you to release Dominick and I, to allow us to leave. We wish to leave this life behind and all that are in it and start fresh overseas where no one knows us. So I guess, my question to you is, can you do that? Will you agree to our request?”
Fabian stared at me for a moment. “You seriously expect me to believe that you Allegra, a reincarnated witch, hell bound on revenge for what I did to your daughter years ago would be happy to do nothing, just get up and leave?”
I nodded. “That’s exactly what I’m saying. Maybe that’s not what any of you expected me to say, but it happens to be the truth. I don’t want anything from you, none of you. I can’t be held responsible for what someone from 500 years ago wanted to do to you. This Katarina that you claim is me can’t do anything unless I opt to do it. I can hurt you and I can obviously hurt you badly, but I don’t wish to. I just want you to release us and give us your blessing to leave the country and say good bye to us forever. We will not be back at all once we leave. You will never see either of us again. Can you agree to that Fabian?”
“How well have you thought this through Allegra? What do you tell your friend Cassandra? Any other humans in your life who are significant to you? Do you expect them to just accept your disappearance without question? Will you tell any of them of your intention to simply up and leave and how do you do that without revealing what you are because you know that you cannot do that. That would result in instant death should you do that. It might be harder for me to kill you given your power over me, but I will find a way little one, make no mistake.” Fabian’s tone held clear warning and I had no doubt that he meant it.
“I am aware of that and of course you know that Dominick is too. I don’t need to give friends of mine lengthy reasons to justify us leaving and the bottom line is they just have to accept what they are told. I won’t be around for them to question anyway. I can keep in touch with Cassie via phone and internet and the only other person who would obviously notice my absence is my editor. I can deal with him by phone and email too. My writing has made both him and I very wealthy so I’m not sure I would be interested in writing any more books anyway. Without more books Frank isn’t going to be too interested in me.” I tried to assure him.
“I will need time to think about what you’re saying to me little one. What you are asking is not unreasonable, surprising, but not impossible. I just have trouble believing that you’re intentions are as innocent as you’re telling me. I know if I was suddenly given tremendous power, I’d be wanting to use it.”
I laughed briefly but it was without humour. “Not everyone is like you though Fabian. I simply want to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. I have no desire for power or control. Fuck, I’ll put that in writing if you don’t believe me. Put stipulations in a contract that I lose my tattoo that allows me to walk in the daylight, anything, I don’t know, anything that will reassure you that I want nothing more than your permission and blessing for Dominick and I to leave.”
“Very well little one. You do plead your case passionately. Now if things had been different, I would have made just one demand of you.” His eyes roamed over me and I felt Dominick tense when he too knew exactly what that demand would have been. That was another reason for moving. It would take temptation away. I would not be available for Fabian to fuck nor would I see him for him to tempt me.
“Well, if you need time to think then Dominick and I will take our leave. I’m hungry and I’m still trying to learn all I can about mind control. How long do you think you will need before you have an answer for us Fabian?” I asked.
His eyes moved over me before shifting to Dominick. “I shall call Nick in two days Allegra with my answer. You may leave now and enjoy your dinner.” He smirked at me as we stood.
With a quick bow to them all, we left. As we headed out to the car I felt my frustration mounting. Why the hell couldn’t Fabian just give us a straight forward answer? He was such a bastard sometimes. Actually who was I kidding? He was a bastard all the time.
When we were driving again Dominick reached over and took my hand. “Calm down cara. I feel your anger. You know Fabian likes to toy with us all, it’s his way and if we want to get him to agree to our request, we have to humour him and let him have his moment playing games with us.”
“He is so frustrating, I could strangle him.”
Dominick chuckled. “That won’t do much cara. He’s vampire. The most you will do is anger him.”
“So give me a list of methods that will kill him and I’ll try them all.” I muttered and he laughed at me.
“You could kill him cara, you know that, but you are too kind hearted, even to Fabian. I thought we were simply going to leave, that is what we decided.”
“I know Dominick and it’s what I want, but it’s still ok for me to imagine doing the man some harm anyway.”
He chuckled at my words again and the sound of that sexy deep laugh made me shiver. “I need something to take my mind off how annoying that man is Dominick. Can we find food now? I’m hungry.” I poute
d at him.
Dominick lifted my hand to his lips and kissed my fingers. “Of course cara. Whatever my lady wishes I shall deliver.”
He lowered my hand to his thigh, holding it pressed against him while he turned his attention back on his driving as we headed towards the city where we could start hunting for tonight’s meal.
My mind was filled with the conversation I’d had with Fabian. I hoped he would be reasonable and not try and stop us from leaving as we wanted to do. It was the ideal solution for us all. Fabian would be a fool if he denied us what we wanted. He knew what I was capable of doing and although I didn’t want to harm him, maybe I would and certainly all I could do was hope that the threat of what I could do would be enough for him to agree to our request. It made sense, it was a win win situation and it would remove me from his sights forever, leaving him free to continue on as he had been accustomed to doing for the last several hundred years. He would just have to learn to do it without Dominick there to control any more.
If Fabian didn’t agree to us moving away then he was going to have to try and kill me because I couldn’t think of any way that he and I could live in the same city and not eventually come to blows in some way.
He got off on power and control. I had power which could give me control and certainly over him. If he forced us to stay, then sooner or later there would be a showdown, a confrontation. That could end badly for so many. If I was really unlucky I could lose my life but more importantly if Fabian wanted to destroy me, taking Dominick’s life would achieve that. Right before I killed him of course, but I knew inside that if something that devastating did take place, the satisfaction over killing Fabian would be a hollow victory when the man who meant everything to me was gone.
Chapter Twenty Six.
Dominick.
Two days later Dominick woke to the feel of lips around his cock and he smiled. Fuck but he could happily wake to the feel of lips around his cock every day.
His eyes opened to just slits as he watched his bellezza bobbing up and down on him, those full lips puckered up into an almost pouting look as she sucked on him.
