~*~*~
A week later, Kahlan had learned a few things about Cara.
One of those things was that the vampire was very handsy.
They had seen each other two times since Kahlan had saved Cara from the would-be vampire assassin, though not for lack of trying on the blonde‘s part; Kahlan’s schedule with school always seemed to hinder opportunity.
The first time, Cara had actually managed to refrain from too much sexual innuendo. For the first hour. She took Kahlan to a Greek restaurant after the brunette mentioned it was her favorite. It was an expensive place and Kahlan had insisted that Cara not spend so much on her. But, of course, the vampire waved her off, reminding Kahlan that money wasn’t an object to a vampire who’d been around for so long.
It was the best meal Kahlan had ever had.
Afterwards, Cara drove her home and as they sat in the blonde’s Jag outside her house, Kahlan had gotten her first taste of Cara’s wandering hands. A kiss goodnight turned into a heated makeout session which led to Cara’s hands in new places.
Kahlan nearly gave in that night.
But, despite trusting Cara, she still had reservations when it came to sex with a vampire. So she had gently pushed the blonde away and asked for more time. Cara looked like she wanted to protest but eventually relented and politely walked Kahlan to her door.
It was… surreal and yet, not.
The second time, Cara showed up at one of Kahlan’s self-defense classes. She stood in the back, patiently watching Kahlan teach. Every so often, Kahlan met her eyes, offering the vampire a shy smile. Once the class was over, they had talked. Well, Kahlan talked. Cara listened.
Kahlan felt like she was back in high school. Shy, giddy, nervous. It was ridiculous, she knew, but Kahlan simply could not bring herself to care. Being around Cara made her happy. Ironically, she felt more alive than she had in a long time with someone who was essentially dead.
Cara made her feel special. And very, very desirable.
That night, Cara helped her put away chairs and equipment. Just as Kahlan was about to flip off the lights as they were heading out, she suddenly found herself pressed up against the wall by a very amorous vampire; her lips being taken roughly and cool, strong hands caressing what felt like everywhere on her body all at once. When Cara moved to her neck to lick and suck on the taut skin there, Kahlan didn’t feel one iota of fear.
She had nearly screamed in frustration when Cara pulled away after what felt like hours later. “I want to take you… right here, right now, like this, but… I want you to be comfortable. I want you to be sure,” the blonde had mumbled against her lips. Kahlan wanted to argue. Wanted to beg for Cara and more of what the vampire could offer her.
But eventually, the heat abated a little, the fog of lust had cleared some and Kahlan was left feeling grateful and awed at the blonde. She felt a warmth of a different kind fill her, spreading within her chest. She knew how hard it was for the vampire to hold back, to go against her own desires, but that was exactly what she had done. For Kahlan.
Kahlan had never been so wet in her entire life.
Until now.
Her body was flush against Cara, pressing the blonde against the driver side door of the black Jag, trying to kiss her senseless. A part of Kahlan worried she couldn’t compete with the vampire’s past, in regards to experience, but the glazed look in Cara’s eyes as she pulled back for a moment eased her insecurities. She dipped back in to taste Cara’s lips again.
It was the weekend and Kahlan had no classes. She and Cara met up at a nearby coffee shop, and this time it wasn’t just the blonde who couldn’t keep her hands to herself. Kahlan had used every opportunity to touch Cara as they sat in the virtually empty café; the back of her hand, her arm, and Kahlan’s favorite, the vampire’s thigh. Cara, for her part, let her with a knowing smirk.
Now they were outside of Kahlan’s home, making out like a couple of horny teenagers. Cara let Kahlan take the lead when the brunette had pinned her against the car. Her tongue jutting into the vampire’s mouth with such insistency, Cara actually felt her knees go weak.
Kahlan held onto the sides of Cara’s head with both hands, tilting the blonde’s head at the right angle to kiss her deeper. Cara’s hands were cupping the brunette’s ass, holding Kahlan tightly against her own body, loving the way Kahlan grinded against her.
“Mm, Cara…” Kahlan moaned as she let go of the blonde’s lips to move down to her neck, licking there once before sucking on the spot where normally a pulse would be. “We should-”
“Kahlan,” Cara breathed, rolling her head back and to the side to allow the brunette more access. “If you say… we should stop… oh…” she closed her eyes when Kahlan nipped the spot with her teeth, “I swear--”
“No,” Kahlan giggled against Cara’s neck. “No, I’m saying…” another nip, “We should… go inside,” she finished, licking a path from the base of Cara’s neck to just under the side of her chin.
“Oh, thank God.”
~*~*~
Kahlan unlocked her front door and stepped in. She was grateful Denna was not home, Kahlan rarely saw her roommate on the weekends. She set her keys on the side table in the entry way before turning back to see Cara standing just outside the door.
“You… have to invite me in,” she said, not looking at Kahlan. She seemed… unsure.
“Oh,” Kahlan smiled, wanting to reassure the vampire. “Please, come in, Cara.”
Cara nodded once and stepped through the threshold, closing the door behind her.
Kahlan could feel a change come over the vampire. She knew better than to call it ‘nerves’ but Cara now seemed hesitant.
“Hey,” she said softly, getting the blonde to look at her. She placed a hand on the side of Cara’s face, rubbing her thumb along the vampire’s cheek. “I trust you. You wouldn’t be here if I didn’t,” she said simply.
Cara’s face remained expressionless but Kahlan could see the conflict behind her eyes. Kahlan leaned down to press her lips against the blonde’s. After a moment, she felt Cara relax.
Kahlan pulled back and took the vampire’s hand, tugging at it. “Come on,” she said softly, pulling Cara further into the house.
When they reached the living room, Cara let go of Kahlan’s hand to take off her jacket, laying it across the back of a chair. Her eyes swept around the place before settling back on Kahlan, who had been watching her.
Cara smirked. “Nice place.”
Kahlan chuckled. “I know. It’s probably very suburban to you.”
“Well,” she shrugged, “It’s not exactly my taste, but it’s still nice.”
Kahlan just rolled her eyes. “Do you want something to drink?” She asked, already heading towards the kitchen. Then she stopped. “Or… can you drink?” She tilted her head, brows furrowed.
Cara’s lips pulled up into a sensuous smile as she sauntered up to Kahlan. She wrapped an arm around the taller woman’s back and pulled her forcefully against her. “No.” Cara ran a hand through Kahlan’s hair, grabbing a fistful at the back of her head. “And I wouldn’t want one right now even if I could,” she whispered before pulling Kahlan’s lips to hers.
Somehow, in a flurry of twisted limbs and lips, they made it to Kahlan’s bedroom. Cara pushed Kahlan to sit on the edge of the bed, smirking down at the brunette before reaching up to unbutton her shirt. Kahlan’s hands came to the side of Cara’s waist, holding her a moment then sliding inward to unbuckle the blonde’s belt. Their eyes never left the other as Cara undid the last of her buttons, yanking the shirt off her shoulders, exposing her black bra to Kahlan’s gaze. Kahlan all but growled as she wrenched the belt from its loops. Cara reached down to pull Kahlan’s shirt over her head and tossed it without thought to the floor.
Kahlan got the top button of Cara’s pants undone before the vampire grabbed her hands and pulled them away. She pushed Kahlan down on the bed, holding her hands against the mattress on either side of the brunette’s head as the vampire climbed over her. A moan escaped from the back of Kahlan’s throat as Cara took her lips, over and over again, before sliding her tongue deep into Kahlan’s hot mouth. The blonde slid her tongue against Kahlan’s, tasting every inch of this woman beneath her, memorizing her.
She let go of Kahlan’s hands, loving the feel of them run through her hair and holding the back of her head as she moved lower, placing open-mouthed kisses on Kahlan’s cheek, chin, neck. She lavished attention on the front of Kahlan’s throat with her tongue, feeling the bob against her lips when Kahlan swallowed.
Desperate to feel more skin, Kahlan kept one hand on the back of Cara’s head, holding the blonde to her neck while reaching with her other hand to the strap of Cara’s bra, unlatching it swiftly. Feeling this, Cara leaned back a little to pull the offending material off, freeing her breasts and hardened nipples to Kahlan’s cupping hands before returning her attention, and mouth, to Kahlan’s neck.
Kahlan rubbed her thumbs over Cara’s nipples, feeling them hardened impossibly more. When she pinched them as hard as she could, Cara felt it like a direct hit to her clit that had her arching her back, pushing her breasts harder into Kahlan’s hands.
Cara slid her hands underneath Kahlan’s bra, cupping her once before pulling back out to grab the material and, impatiently, yanking it apart. Kahlan gasped.
“You owe me a new bra,” she groused breathily.
“That won’t be the only thing I’ll owe you,” Cara murmured. She wrapped Kahlan’s legs around her waist, Kahlan automatically hooking her ankles together. The blonde slid an arm underneath Kahlan’s back and her other arm beneath Kahlan’s ass. The vampire leaned back, effortlessly lifting the brunette in her arms. She continued kissing Kahlan as she crawled on her knees across the bed, placing Kahlan down so that her head rested on the pillows.
Once Kahlan was settled, Cara leaned down to take a hard nipple in her mouth. As she sucked, her tongue ran circles around the pebbled nub.
Kahlan hissed out a “Yes.” Her legs unhooked and came down to squeeze the side of Cara’s hips.
Cara continued her assault on Kahlan’s breasts, trying to pull more and more of the fleshy mounds into her mouth. She hummed, feeling Kahlan’s nails dig hard into the skin of her shoulders. She felt Kahlan’s hips thrusting up against her own, the brunette trying to get the friction she needed, and Cara began to return the motion. It drove her crazy, feeling this beautiful woman writhe beneath her.
“Cara…” Kahlan moaned, she needed more skin but the way Cara’s teeth nipped at her sensitive nipples made it hard for her to voice it. “Cara.” Her hands went down to Cara’s leather pants, tugging at them. “Off.”
As much as Cara didn’t want to let go of Kahlan’s breasts, the woman had a point. She straightened herself up on her knees, her hands coming down to unzip her pants but Kahlan sat up and batted them away, wanting to do it herself.
Kahlan leaned forward to nip and kiss at Cara’s stomach, the vampire’s muscles twitched against her mouth. Cara ran her hands through Kahlan’s hair, brushing it away from her face, wanting to see her face as Kahlan’s mouth did wonderful things to her stomach.
Kahlan pulled the tight leather over and down the blonde’s hips, revealing even more pale and smooth skin. She wasn’t surprised in the least Cara wasn’t wearing any underwear. She pulled till she couldn’t anymore, leaving the material pooled at Cara’s knees. Kahlan licked her lips, staring at Cara’s sex while running her hands along the vampire’s sides. She took in the perfect amount of dark curly hair at the apex of Cara‘s thighs, could see the moisture there. Kahlan couldn’t stop herself, she ran her fingertips through Cara’s folds, feeling the copious arousal there, causing the vampire to groan and thrust her hips forward.
Kahlan looked up into Cara’s hooded eyes, fingers still sliding leisurely through the wet slit in front of her. “Is this all for me?” She asked, her voice tinged with wonder. As if she couldn’t believe the vampire could be this turned on by her.
Cara bent down, licking at Kahlan’s lips. “All for you, Kahlan,” she whispered huskily against the brunette’s mouth before sucking on Kahlan’s bottom lip.
Kahlan wanted to keep touching Cara, like this, but the vampire had other ideas. She pushed Kahlan to lay back down. Cara toed her boots off and kicked her leather pants away. Now fully nude and kneeling between the brunette’s legs, her hands went to the button of Kahlan’s jeans, opening and tugging them down. Kahlan had kicked off her shoes earlier, so in no time Cara had them off her legs. Now, she was laying in only her panties below the vampire, who was leaning over her, one hand on the pillow next to Kahlan’s head to hold herself up.
Cara’s eyes roamed over Kahlan’s body, like she was trying to decide where she wanted to start. She placed a hand on the center of Kahlan’s chest, just above her breasts. Slowly, she slid her hand down, cupping a breast once, sliding over to cup the other, pinching the nipple there. Kahlan gasped and arched her back at the contact.
Cara felt a smile touch her lips as she watched her hand caressing down Kahlan’s stomach, feeling the quivering muscles there. She paused when she reached the waist band of Kahlan’s panties. Cara looked back up into the brunette’s eyes as her fingers curled underneath the material, sliding her knuckles along the skin there teasingly. Then she smirked, and ripped the panties from Kahlan’s body.
Kahlan bucked, her whole body tensing and shuddering.
Cara threw them over her shoulder. “See? Now I owe you a new bra and panties,” she said, quite pleased with herself.
Kahlan growled and shot up, taking Cara’s lips aggressively. She rolled them over so that she was on top, straddling the vampire.
Normally, Cara would’ve rolled them back over, needing to be in control, but Kahlan taking over like this caused a fresh flood of arousal to surge between her legs. Kahlan kissing her like this, like she was starving and Cara’s mouth was her only source of sustenance, rendered her senseless. The feel of Kahlan’s swollen, heated sex grinding down on her lower belly, painting Cara with her abundant juices, ripped all thought from the vampire’s mind save how much she wanted this woman. In every way.
Kahlan rolled her hips, finally getting some friction against her clit. Cara’s hands were on her hips, assisting in her thrusting. But it wasn’t enough.
“Cara,” she whimpered, between kisses. She needed more. She grabbed Cara’s hand and pressed it to her own stomach, sliding it down. “I need…”
Cara needed no further prompting. Her fingers slid through Kahlan’s slick warm folds, mirroring the brunette’s groan. She flicked the engorged clit there --Kahlan jerking forward, before circling it, applying a teasing pressure.
Kahlan bent down a little, taking one of Cara’s nipples into her mouth, rolling it with her tongue and biting down hard when she felt Cara‘s fingers teasing her opening, causing the blonde to arch into her mouth.
“Please, Cara,” Kahlan panted, “Inside.”
“Kahlan,” Cara breathed, sliding her middle finger into the brunette. She wanted to tease but she needed this just as much as Kahlan did.
Kahlan sighed at the penetration. Her insides clenched and pulled at Cara’s finger. She rested her forehead on the vampire’s chest, swallowing and concentrating on the feel of Cara inside her. When the blonde’s finger began to move, slowly pulling out and then back in, Kahlan moaned.
Cara thrust slowly into Kahlan for a few moments before she pulled almost completely out and added her index finger and pressed hard back into Kahlan, the palm of her hand rubbing against the brunette’s clit. She was done taking it slow.
Kahlan gasped and sat straight up, grinding her hips down on Cara’s hand. Cara picked up the pace with her thrusting, using her hips to push deeper into Kahlan.
“Yes, Cara, yes,” Kahlan moaned. She began riding Cara for all she was worth. Kahlan placed a hand on the blonde’s thrusting forearm, squeezing it, loving the feel of the muscles there bunch and release.
Cara felt hypnotized, watching Kahlan bounce up and down on top of her. The feel of her silky insides squeezing her fingers, clenching tighter and tighter.
It was too much, Cara was losing the battle within her. When Kahlan starting making those mewling sounds and rolling her hips with each thrust down, Cara lost out and her fangs descended. She was too aroused by the site on top of her. She had no intentions of using them but she had still fought it, not wanting to scare Kahlan. She was so grateful Kahlan’s eyes were squeezed shut. Cara tried to keep her mouth closed.
Kahlan threw her head back, pumping her hips harder. She could feel herself tightening around Cara’s mercilessly thrusting fingers, the warm fluttering feeling in the pit of her stomach. She knew she was getting close. “Cara. Oh, Cara…” she groaned, “I’m so… I’m going to-” She didn’t finish. Cara’s fingers curled deep inside her, pressing against that special spot, a thumb coming up to press against her throbbing clit and she barreled over. “Cara!” She shouted, hips jerking forward. Her whole body wracked with intense spasms and with each one, she let out an, “oh… oh… oh…”
Cara sank a fang into her bottom lip as Kahlan came, as her hand was flooded with warmth. The smell of Kahlan’s sex drowned her senses. Kahlan was still pumping against her hand, riding out the waves of pleasure.
It was the most beautiful thing Cara had ever seen.
Kahlan collapsed onto the vampire, still twitching and panting, her head pillowed between Cara’s breasts. Her entire body was heated and slick with sweat and she found Cara’s cooler skin to be utterly soothing.
Cara slowly pulled out of the warm confines of Kahlan’s sex, cupping her sensitive center gently, Kahlan moaned and shuddered at the contact. Cara wrapped her other arm around the brunette’s shoulders.
“Mmm… Cara,” Kahlan sighed lazily a few moments later, stretching over the blonde, Cara‘s other arm came up to wrap around her lower back. She shifted up to brush her lips against Cara’s. As her breasts pressed against the blonde’s beneath her, a spark of renewed desire shot through her spine and she tried to deepen the kiss, but Cara pulled away.
“Cara?” she asked as the vampire turned her head to the side.
“Kahlan, I…” Cara closed her eyes, swallowing. “I need a moment.”
“What do you mean?” Kahlan placed her fingers on the side of Cara’s chin, gently turning the blonde’s face back towards her.
Cara looked at Kahlan, her eyes intense, almost challenging as her lips parted slightly, revealing two pristinely white fangs, sharp as any blade.
She wasn’t ashamed of them. Cara felt nothing but pride at being what she was, there was no reason not to. However, she was… concerned, about how Kahlan would react.
Kahlan’s eyes widened, softly emitting an “Oh.” But she didn’t pull away.
“I can’t… help it. Sometimes. When I’m this turned on,” she admitted.
Kahlan stared at Cara’s mouth for a few moments. Then, slowly, an impossibly devious grin spread across her face. “’This turned on’ huh?” She placed two fingers against Cara’s bottom lip, encouraging the vampire to open her mouth. “Let me see them,” she murmured.
Cara opened her mouth wider, now showing the full length of her protruding fangs. She watched Kahlan, waiting to see what she would do. Cara rolled her eyes into the back of her head, whimpering, as she felt Kahlan caress one with her fingertip.
Kahlan was pleased with Cara’s reaction. She continued to stroke one fang with her finger as she leaned down to lick the front of the other. The vampire bucked slightly beneath her. Kahlan leaned back a little. “You like that, don’t you?” she whispered breathlessly, already knowing the answer. She leaned back down, running the tip of her tongue against the length of the sharpened tooth again before removing her hand and giving the other the same attention.
Cara thought she was going to come from this alone. Her hips were moving on their own accord in sinuous circles, she was groaning so deeply her chest rumbled. She felt Kahlan shift on top of her, moving between her legs and then a hand was between her thighs, stroking her. She growled, “Kahlan.”
Kahlan continued to run her fingers through Cara’s slick folds, the vampire wasn’t lying, she was practically gushing juices onto her hand. “Cara…” she sucked once on a fang before pulling back to look into the vampire’s eyes. “Can you… Is it possible to…” she trailed off, not knowing how to ask her question.
“Kahlan,” Cara sighed, she knew what the brunette was trying to ask. “Don’t-”
“Please.” Kahlan stopped her movements between Cara’s legs, needing the vampire‘s full attention. “Can you bite without killing?” She wanted to know. Needed to know what it felt like. She trusted Cara and wanted to share in this with her. She didn’t know what it was the two of them had together, but Kahlan was sure it was more than just lust. Cara had stepped into her world and now Kahlan wanted to do the same, if only just a little.
Cara stared into Kahlan’s eyes. She wanted to. Of course, she did. She was hard-pressed to think of anything she had ever wanted more. But this wasn’t just some random feeding. This wasn’t just some fang banger Cara was using for fun. This was Kahlan, the woman who was the source of all the confusing thoughts and… feelings, that had been plaguing Cara for almost two weeks now. The woman who brought out a completely new and different side of the vampire. A side Cara wanted to fight and embrace all at once.
“I can. But,” Cara said, her face hard and voice serious, she wanted Kahlan to understand exactly what she was asking of the vampire. “It’s not as simple as you think. If I feed from you, I will be… connected to you.”
“I don’t care, Cara-”
“You might,” she warned. “Kahlan.” Cara cupped her cheek. “I will be able to sense where you are, at anytime.” She gazed meaningfully into ice blue eyes. “Do you really want that?”
Kahlan was silent for a while. Cara was sure she would change her mind. But then she turned her head slightly, to kiss Cara’s palm. Her fingers started moving again, rubbing between the blonde’s folds, she breathed Cara’s name.
“You wouldn’t hurt me,” she whispered, without any doubt. She moved two fingers to Cara’s clit, massaging the nub between them.
Cara began circling her hips in rhythm Kahlan’s ministrations, groaning Kahlan’s name.
“I need you to do this, Cara.” She pinched Cara’s clit between her fingers, causing the vampire to twitch almost violently beneath her. “I want you to taste me, my blood. I want to know I’m inside you.” And with that, Kahlan slid two fingers deep inside Cara.
“Kahlan!” she cried out, back arching off the bed.
Kahlan slammed into the vampire, over and over again, with increasing tempo. This strange sense of power came over her. Here she was, making this centuries-old vampire lose control. This powerful and strong beauty giving herself over to Kahlan. It was a new sensation for her. Kahlan had never felt herself weak but she had never felt this powerful before.
Cara rolled them over, rearranging herself so that one of her legs was on the outside of Kahlan‘s, opening herself more to Kahlan’s fingers and so that Cara could slide into the brunette as well; needing to give Kahlan pleasure when she did this.
“It… will hurt,” Cara warned again, pumping into Kahlan deeply.
Kahlan rocked against the hand between her legs, almost faltering in her own thrusting into the blonde. “Do it,” she demanded, without hesitation.
Cara was already close, near to coming for Kahlan and she wanted the brunette to come with her when she sank her teeth into that beautiful neck. She picked up the pace, making sure to tap her fingers against Kahlan’s sweet spot while attempting to hold back on her own climax just a little bit longer.
When Kahlan started tightening around her, Cara leaned down, nuzzling her face in the crook of the Kahlan’s neck. She inhaled deeply, savoring Kahlan’s delicious scent. She felt a hand cup the back of her head, holding her, encouraging her.
“Oh, please, Cara…” Kahlan moaned, “Please.”
They thrust harder, faster into each other. Cara used her free hand to fist Kahlan’s hair, holding her head still. She lightly scraped the sharp points of her fangs against the sweaty, taut skin of Kahlan’s neck before licking there once, silently telling Kahlan to brace herself. Kahlan tightened her hold on Cara’s hair.
As gently as she could, Cara pressed her fangs to Kahlan’s neck and broke through the skin, Kahlan shouting Cara’s name in a mixture of pain and pleasure. When Kahlan’s blood flooded her mouth, Cara came.
It was… unlike anything Cara had ever tasted, she tried to drink slowly and not take too much but she couldn’t help it. She gulped down three mouthfuls by the time Kahlan joined her over the edge.
As Kahlan orgasmed, Cara tasted a change in her blood. Something… strange. Powerful. Old. It overwhelmed her.
Cara couldn’t see Kahlan’s eyes. If she could, she’d see them fill with a dark red. As if blood was poured into them. Cara’s own irises swirled with black, spilling out until her eyes were completely filled with inky darkness. Then, they flashed white and Cara felt something inside her snap, felt something break.
~*~*~
Seattle, Washington.
In a blur of blonde hair, Nicci reared back from the thigh she was feeding from. Blood dripped down her mouth and she was actually panting. Her eyes flashed completely black for a brief moment before returning back to their usual hazel.
She snarled. Something had just happened. It felt like something had just been stolen from within her. She turned her head and bared her fangs in a sneer, growling.
“What the-”
~*~*~
“-fuck was that?!”
Cara was now on the other side of the room against the wall, fangs still extended, breathing heavily. She was too shocked to even realize she was breathing.
Kahlan, with blood now running down her neck in two streaks, was still on the bed, her chest heaving. She looked at the vampire with frantic eyes.
“I- I don’t know,” she said, dazed.
“You felt it, too?”
“I…” Kahlan cleared her throat, her eyes darting around the bed, unseeing. “I felt… something but… I have no idea what.”
Cara tried to calm down. She couldn’t believe it, but she was actually on the verge of freaking out. “Something changed. Something’s different. I can feel it inside.” Her hand came up to press against her chest, her eyes were as wide as they could get. “I can’t…” she searched inside her mind, trying to figure out what was different.
Realization struck. And Cara felt her stomach drop.
“I can no longer feel Nicci -my Maker,” she added quickly when Kahlan squinted her eyes. For the first time in a long time, Cara felt fear. Absolute and all-consuming fear.
Kahlan furrowed her brows, confused. “What does that mean?” She had no idea what was going on but if Cara was scared, and Kahlan could tell she was, the vampire was practically trembling, she knew it was something bad.
Cara shook her head frantically. Her voice ominous.
“Kahlan, this is not good.”
Part five.
Heh, *nervous laugh*
