NYC Vamps: Vampire Romance

by Sky Winters

  “Ooh, you’re a health nut.” Jacob sat on the couch in her living room, keeping his attention on her as she walked around the kitchen a few feet away. “Grape juice, please. I feel like I haven’t had that since I was in elementary school.”

  Sabrina took out the jug of grape juice and poured him a generous amount into a tall glass. She poured herself some as well and carefully brought the glasses over to the living room, sitting beside him before handing one glass to him. “And I didn’t even spill!”

  Jacob put his glass down on the coffee table directly in front of them and applauded. She widened her eyes and let out a laugh. She hadn’t expected actual applause. She nodded her head in a slight bow to him. “Thank you, thank you. I’m here all night. And hopefully you are, too.”

  She somehow managed to seductively sip her grape juice.

  “I haven’t been this turned on since second grade,” he quipped.

  Sabrina threw her head back and cackled. He took a sip and then both glasses were placed on the table and they were looking into each other’s eyes. She felt like she’d made a mistake back there in the karaoke club. He was not just some guy. He was just a nice guy. She deserved a nice guy, after all of Victor’s bullshit.

  She moved over and got into his lap, straddling him. The big bruiser moved with her as if he’d been fully aware that she was going to do that. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her even closer to him. He met her lips before she was completely ready, and soon he was forcing his tongue into her mouth.

  Moaning, she brought her hands up to his face and stroked his cheeks with her fingertips. She’d thought that he looked cuddly before, but now she knew that cuddly could definitely be hot.

  After several moments of making out on the couch, Jacob scooped Sabrina up in his arms and carried her to her bedroom. She could only assume that he found it based on his keen sense of scent, because it was off down the long hallway next to the entryway and she hadn’t shown him around yet. They had not gotten that far, but already he wanted her in the bedroom.

  He did not carefully place her on the bed but instead set her down next to it. “Take your clothes off,” he said, his voice husky from the lust he now felt. This was the sort of thing she had been expecting. And the fact that it came from such a good ol’ boy made it even better.

  Sabrina enlisted her help in taking off her red dress, and then she quickly slipped out of her panties and bra. He admired her as she stood there naked before him, then he fumbled with his fly and pulled his pants off. It was clear that he was going to keep his shirt on when he turned her around and bent her over onto the bed.

  Jacob pushed his cock into her from behind. “Oh my god!” he shouted with a dark chuckle. “You’re so tight.”

  She laughed a bit, gasping as she felt the sheer size of his member inside her. “Do you like that?”

  “Yes,” he said, slapping her ass. “I’m gonna pound your pussy.” He started thrusting. It was all that she could do to not simply fall forward all the way and lie flat on the bed. She held herself up on her elbows, biting her lip and moaning as he moved within her, stretching her.

  Leaning forward, Jacob kissed her back and she smiled. There was something so amusing about him acting tender while also threatening to pound her and slap her…

  “Ohhh,” he moaned. She could tell that he enjoyed this position. It made her grow even wetter to know just how horny she was making him. Suddenly, he grabbed her and spun her over so she was on her back. She slammed onto the bed again, grateful that the mattress was soft so she didn’t injure her back or something.

  “Fuck yeah,” he said, placing his hands on her boobs and squeezing as he continued thrusting once he’d mounted her. He lowered his head down and sucked her left breast, biting her nipple until she was sure it must be bruised and bloody. “Is this what you like, baby?”

  She nodded, looking up at him, completely under his spell. “Mmmhmm.”

  “Yeah,” he growled. “You’re a little slut, aren’t you?”

  He slapped her side and reached his hand down, gliding his fingers against her clit. Sabrina’s eyes widened at the sensation. “I’m whatever you want me to be,” she told him, hissing her words out through her teeth as she could feel the euphoria building up inside of her. She was ready to burst, but she didn’t want to until he did.

  Just then, he placed his other hand over her mouth and started thrusting and rubbing her clit at the same time, starting to move rhythmically. Sabrina was not going to be able to wait for Jacob to come at this rate. “Oh goddd!!” she moaned against his hand.

  He thrust himself so deep inside her that suddenly she was seeing stars as she came. He moved his hands to her hands and held onto them tightly as he came along with her, releasing his seed deep within her.

  “JACOB!” she bellowed, unable to keep quiet.

  They stayed together, him on top of her and her below him, for a few minutes while their pulses slowly went back down to normal. Then he smiled at her. “I hope I wasn’t too rough,” he said.

  Her chest was still heaving, but she was starting to calm down as she looked at him. “No rougher than I was hoping for,” she said with a wink.

  With a soft laugh, he slipped out of her and went to the bathroom, coming back a moment later with some toilet paper so she could clean herself up a little.

  As soon as they were cleaned, Jacob led Sabrina back out to her kitchen as if he owned the place now. She wondered if that was how it was supposed to be with werebears. She was so used to strict Wolves that she was not aware of what the differences could be. He went back to the coffee table and brought the grape juice into the kitchen so that they could keep drinking it at the table together.

  Sabrina looked at the clock. “It’s two in the morning already?” she asked, shocked.

  “So it is,” he said with a smirk. “You don’t work on Saturdays, do you?”

  She shook her head. Fortunately, she was an admin assistant at an office, not the kind of worker that was forced to work an ungodly schedule. “You?”

  “Only if I want to,” he said. “And I never want to.”

  Looking at him over the glass as she took a sip, she wondered what he was like to date continually. Now that they’d made love, she realized that the idea of having Jacob Priestly as her boyfriend was not a totally bad one.

  “Will you be here in the morning?” she asked him in a quiet, slightly hopeful voice. “I may have started this out as a kind of one night stand thing, but now…”

  “Shh,” he said, shaking his shaggy head at her and smiling. He was so fucking adorable to her again. She was afraid that she might love him if she wasn’t careful. “I promise I will be here in the morning. And every other morning, if you want.”

  Oh, she wanted. She really wanted.

  CHAPTER THREE

  Silly Old Bear

  Sure enough, Jacob was true to his word the following morning. Sabrina slowly and lazily opened her eyes at ten a.m., a reasonable time to get up on a Saturday, and saw that he was still in bed beside her. His eyes were closed, but when she quietly yawned, he smiled.

  “Good morning,” he said. His brown eyes opened and he fixed them on her, still smiling sleepily.

  “Hi,” she said back, stretching a little. “Now that I know I’ve still got you, what do you want to do today?”

  Jacob shrugged. “What were you thinking of doing?”

  Sabrina appreciated that he was not as bossy as her ex. He was much more laid-back, and thankfully was receptive to her ideas. She thought over what she most felt like doing on this, their second day together. “Art museum?” she suggested.

  “Nice,” he replied. “Okay.” He got out of bed and stretched. She admired his athletic body, remembering what it looked like naked and blushing lightly. It felt almost like she had dreamt last night. “Do you want breakfast first?”

  Nodding, she got out of bed along with him. She’d gone to sleep in an old, ratty t-shirt, but she changed into his shirt
instead so she would look more attractive while they ate together. She worried about looking cute to him still. He worried about her still liking him now that they’d had that one night stand she’d been after.

  He went through the pantries and the fridge in her kitchen to pick out something for them to eat. “French toast with—” He looked in the fridge again to make sure he’d seen it right. “—blueberries and honey?”

  Sabrina bit her lip. “You’re not making it easy for me. I keep wanting to make jokes about you being a bear, but I don’t want to offend you.”

  That seemed to amuse him. “I’m not a delicate flower. I can take jokes. I have been known, on occasion, to wander around in a red t-shirt and nothing else.”

  “Oh my god, I want to see that!”

  Jacob smirked. “French toast with blueberries and honey?” he repeated.

  “Sorry,” she said. “Yes. That sounds yummy.”

  He made breakfast for them, proving that he was adept around the kitchen. When Sabrina took a bite, she let a moan escape her and he grinned proudly. “I know from last night that that sound means you like something.”

  She blushed and laughed.

  Dating him was surely going to be fun.

  After they finished their breakfast, Sabrina hopped in the shower, and was pleased when Jacob joined her. She took a bar of soap and lathered it all over his body until she found her way to his ever growing cock. Fuck, it was a gorgeous specimen, and she wanted it bad. Just when she reached out to touch it, he turned her around and squeezed her milky breasts with his large hands. Her nipples had never been harder. When he slid in from behind her and began thrusting, Sabrina knew she was a goner. She climaxed just when he whispered, “I am going to cum inside you my sweet Sabbycat.”

  “Hey Sabrina, I forgot that I don’t have any clean clothes here. I guess I’ll go back to my place and change, then we’ll meet back here in about an hour?”

  Sabrina agreed and cleaned up while he was gone. It amused her that he’d forgotten that he didn’t just live there already. It must have been a bear thing. He was so chill about things; it would not surprise her if he did just start sleeping over at her place every day.

  She wondered what sort of place he lived in. Certainly it was not a cave. Though it was probably a man cave.

  She giggled as she took off her robe to put on her outfit for the day. The dress that she wore last night was great for a first date, but Sabrina decided to go a little more casual for their next day together. She put on some blue jeans and a cute purple t-shirt with an outline of a cartoon cat on it. She brushed her long, blonde hair and then put it up into a ponytail. Then she threw on some flip flops.

  Now that she had seen what a beast Jacob was in bed, she couldn’t wait to see what he was like when he became a bear. Victor had been all about turning into a werewolf when it was time to have sex… He had a biting fetish. When she looked at the massive hickey that Jacob had given her on her boob, she remembered that. Not that she really ever forgot it. The difference was that she suspected that Jacob would stop hurting her if she asked.

  The hour passed faster than she had anticipated, and she was giddy when she heard a knock at her front door. She practically skipped to the door and then pulled it open, beaming.

  “Miss me?” Jacob asked her with a smile. He was also wearing jeans, along with a long-sleeved, V-necked shirt. It wasn’t a t-shirt like hers, but it was still slightly less casual than last night. She was glad that he had been thinking along the same lines.

  “Funnily enough, I did,” Sabrina answered.

  She collected her purse and they headed out. They would be driving this time. It was not a short walk to Brown University, where the art gallery was housed. Jacob had a cute blue Beetle that he’d most likely bought used, unless it was gifted to him from his parents.

  He was even a good boy while driving, conscientious of other drivers. She was used to aggressiveness in the car, much like everywhere else. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that Victor was not a good example of a were-boyfriend. He’d been sexy to be with, but otherwise his personality was mostly humorless and even mean at times. She realized that she did not simply want to be with someone like Jacob, she deserved to be with him.

  The art gallery they went to was full of portraits and paintings of ships from the 1700s. Sabrina worried a little that Jacob was bored by what they found there, but every time she turned to ask him how he was feeling about it, he gave her such a sweet smile that she didn’t want to even assume such a thing.

  Weeks went by like that. Every date Jacob took Sabrina on was charming and fun. He did not get jealous when other men spoke to her. He did not treat her like she owed him her time. She felt like he was worth her time, in newer and better ways than she was used to.

  One day, she woke up feeling sick and he gave her a breakfast of soup and bread in bed. “What do you think it might be?” he asked her sympathetically, putting his hand on her forehead to check and make sure that she wasn’t super hot.

  “I think it could be…” She blushed a little. She’d been wondering for a few days now, but this sudden nausea seemed to confirm it. “I think I might be pregnant.”

  He gaped at her, surprised, but then his mouth twisted into a smile. “Pregnant?” he asked. “Do you want me to run to the store and get a test so we can be sure?”

  “Yes, please,” she said. They kissed and he grabbed his keys, happy to go off and get a pregnancy test for her. She hadn’t expected such a gleeful reaction to her theory. She wasn’t feeling so glad about it. She was nervous, and really hoping that it was Jacob’s bear seed and not Victor’s wolf seed… She’d been with Jacob for a little over a month now, so she liked to think that there was no chance that it was Victor’s, but stranger things had happened to her.

  As soon as Jacob returned with the test, she used it and they sat on the couch together and waited, watching it to see if two lines appeared or just one.

  When two appeared, she was glad that bears weren’t known for howling, because he certainly would have. Instead, he stood up and hugged her. “This is the happiest moment of my life!” he said. “Are you happy?”

  She nodded at him and smiled faintly. “I am. I’m just… I’m hoping that I’ll be an okay mother.”

  He kissed her and held her in his arms. Of course you will be. You’re already the best girlfriend, so I’m sure you will be the best mother a kid could ask for, too.”

  “You have a lot of confidence in me,” she told him, cuddling against him.

  “Hey,” he said softly, practically cradling her as he held her, he was so burly. “A guy like me doesn’t get a lot of chances to be with a girl like you. When we first met, I thought for sure that you’d be frightened and not want anything to do with me after a night. That’s how it always used to be. You’ve made me feel like I can be trusted. You’ve made me feel… human. Which is something I don’t exactly deserve, but it’s nice.”

  She smiled at him a bit tearfully. “Why would a werebear want to be like a human? You’re special.”

  He shook his head. “I’m special for a human. I’m not much of a were.”

  Looking at him, she tilted her head a little bit. “Speaking of that, you’ve never even shifted in front of me. Are you shy?”

  Jacob blushed. “I only really do that when I’m angry, and I think I’ve forgotten how to be that now that I’m with you.”

  Sabrina made a face. “Don’t make me barf. Remember, I’m feeling nauseous.”

  He laughed. “Sorry. But it’s true.”

  “Well, we’re going to have a baby together. You should stop hiding your whole self from me. I won’t run screaming or call up an angry, torch-waving mob, if that’s what you’re worried about. I promise.”

  He appreciated that she was so interested in his shifter nature. A lot of the girls he’d been with had only liked the sex aspect of it, but when they actually saw him become a giant, snarling bear, they didn’t want to be
near him anymore. Sabrina seemed to be different, but he still worried that everything would change once she saw the beast that the tall, muscular quarterback became.

  “I don’t want to endanger you,” he said. “But I can show you pictures, if that will make you feel better. Then you’ll really know what I’m like when I’m mad. And hopefully you’ll never see it in the flesh.”

  He logged on to her laptop and did a quick Google search, bringing up images from a news story about a record-sized black bear tearing up a mall. Sabrina stared at the screen in horrified shock. “You were the Pine Tree Mall bear??”

  Jacob nodded. “One and the same.”

  “But I thought they killed that bear.”

  “Tranquilizers,” he explained, pointing to a small scar on his neck that she thought was from an old sports-related injury. “Someone on the force knows my dad and knows what I am, so they spared me. They let me convalesce outside like a good bear and then gave me a five hundred dollar fine.”

  “Jeeezus,” Sabrina said. But she seemed impressed, not bothered by this information. “Well, I have to say, you are a very attractive bear, too.”

  Jacob didn’t know what to say to that. He called and ordered pizza to celebrate their baby news. Sabrina meanwhile started to wonder if maybe their small family would be the thing she wanted most in the world, even though she had never known that. Maybe subconsciously her mind had pulled her towards a werebear so she could meet him. Her ex was very much a product of his species, but Jacob was not like any of the bears she had read about online. Well, except for a certain mall-destroyer…

  CHAPTER FOUR

  Won’t Let Go At Any Price

  Unsurprisingly, Sabrina’s coworkers were delighted at her news. They did not know the full extent of it, of course, but everyone loved to hear about a new baby that was on the way. She referred to it as a ‘cub’ and they simply thought it was a cute nickname, not what it actually was.

  She went onto the ComeShift app, the plan being to delete her profile. There would be no more need for it now. She was pretty sure that Jacob was planning to propose to her any day now, though he hadn’t said anything. He could be so shy sometimes, which she thought just made him even cuter.
