Chapter 40
Dominic frowned as he watched Elijah from the doorway. The slayer stood at the balcony in one of the bedrooms that strangely faced the mountains, just silently staring at the vast range. He’s been like this ever since the meditation session and it worried Dominic to no end. What had he seen? What did he find out that he wasn’t telling? Why wasn’t he telling? Dominic hated this. He felt like another secret was cropping up and coming between them. He just wished the slayer would be open with him and end this bloody ridiculous silence!
Well, it’s been all evening and it’ll be daybreak soon. Dominic was going to find out what was troubling the slayer before he went to sleep for the day. He was not going to go to sleep with this wedge between him and the man he loved. He refused to. It was time for Lijah to talk to him.
“Lijah…look. I know that what you may have seen during your meditation must have been…deep…for you, but…I have to know what it is. It’ll help…”
Elijah looked at him with those deep blue eyes, his gaze making Dom even more worried than before. Whatever this was…it was big and Elijah didn’t want to discuss it. He was probably hoping that Dom would just forget about it and normally, Dom wouldn’t push. But with the big fight with Bean coming up, he couldn’t let it go.
“What did you see?”
“Do we have to talk about this now?”
“It’s been hours, love…”
Elijah sighed and went to sit on the bed, rubbing his eyes. He wished that he could forget everything…even though he was glad at the same time that he knew…which confused him, because how could he be both at the same time? But he was. He knew what was at stake. He knew there was a way to get the upper hand…but getting that upper hand meant sending his Dom into the Romanian mountains, a terrain he didn’t know…at least Elijah didn’t think so. “Have you ever been to the Romanian mountains before Dom?”
“No….not really. Why? Are you thinking about a hiking trip? Not sure that’s at all safe love. You may be a slayer, but you’re still mortal, yeah?”
“I know that…I just…I don’t know….I’m just…fucking tired.”
“Lijah,” Dominic pulled the slayer into his arms, making their eyes meet and refusing to let go of that blue gaze that he loved so much. He couldn’t believe it. They had gone through hell and had yet more to go through, yet this boy…this man was still his. That his heart was Dominic’s, lock stock and bloody barrel, and Dominic was going to make sure that it was cared for and cherished for the rest of their days…however long they may be. “Talk to me. Please…your silence is…well it’s fucking scaring me.”
“No reason to be scared…I just…well I do have something to tell you…I just can’t deal with it right now, ok? Just…can’t we just go to bed and hold each other until we fall asleep? Why this big need to know right away?”
Dom couldn’t answer that. He just had this deep feeling that whatever it was Elijah was hiding, it had to do with him and was best to be dealt with as soon as possible. But he couldn’t make the slayer do anything he didn’t want to do. If he didn’t want to talk about it right now…well then they wouldn’t…
“Please Dom. Let’s just go to bed for the night….we’ll talk tomorrow….I promise…” Elijah looked up at his boyfriend with wide pleading eyes.
“Bloody slayer and your blue eyes. You know just how to get me to agree, don’t you?”
“Well, I have to use something, since I don’t have feminine wiles,” Elijah smiled, his eyes shining with adoration. He stepped away, taking Dom’s hand in his. “Come on. Let’s go. That nice warm bed in that sun proof room is waiting…”
“Wait,” Dom grinned, wrapping an arm behind Elijah’s legs and back and lifting him off the ground. “Now I’m ready.”
Giggling like a madman, Elijah held tight as Dominic carried him into the bedroom and kicked the door closed. Gently the slayer was laid on his back, where he stared up at Dominic invitingly. “Ready for bed?”
“Well it is getting close to my bedtime, but I’m up for staying awake a bit longer, if you’re planning to share…”
“Not yet,” Elijah took his lover’s hand and pulled him down on top of him. “I want to do something other than talk right now…”
Dominic smiled, for the first time since the meditation, agreeing with the slayer. He was always up for a shag and judging from the slayer’s hardening body, he was more than up for it. “Mmm…I have no objections…”
“Good, because no is not an option,” Elijah whispered, pulling Dom’s face down so their mouths met.
Dominic surrendered himself, letting the slayer set the pace, which was faster than he expected as one by one his clothes were peeled from his body and he was pressed to the heat generated body beneath him, a body that was in continuous motion as Elijah rocked his burning hot groin against Dom’s cooler one, creating a sensuous friction that sent chills through both of their bodies.
Dominic pulled out of the kiss to stare into wide, passion filled blue eyes and felt his heart swell once again. He loved this man more than anything. He’d move the earth…no the whole universe to keep him safe. He couldn’t even say that he had loved Eli like this. Only Elijah brought out this fierce protectiveness in him.
“In me….please….” Elijah panted, the need to be filled by Dominic driving him near the brink. He didn’t know what had gotten into him, he just knew that he needed his lover inside him, where he could keep him warm and safe from whatever was waiting in the Romanian mountains just waiting. Fuck, he wished that he didn’t have to send Dominic out there. He wished that they could just stay here forever and forget about the outside world that seemed bent on destroying them.
With slender fingers wrapping around Elijah’s cock, Dom slowly slid into him, moaning at the pressure and heat that was taking him in, cradling him tight. His lips again claimed Elijah’s as he began to slowly thrust, stroking the throbbing member in his hand as he did so, nudging the sweet spot that sent electric shivers through Elijah’s body, causing the younger man to moan even louder, digging his nails into Dom’s pale skin.
Together, the young men moved together, in one fluid motion, kissing, touching, and moaning, lost in the passion that encased them.
Dominic moaned as he felt the pressure build. He wasn’t going to last much longer and the cock in his hand was throbbing so hard, he didn’t think the man beneath him was going to last much longer either. He closed his eyes, mentally preparing himself when Elijah’s breathless voice spoke.
“Bite…me….please…”
“What?” Dom looked at him with wide eyes. Even though this wouldn’t be the first time, he always felt stunned awe when Elijah made the request to have Dom’s fangs in his throat. It showed just how much trust the slayer really had in him. He trusted him to stop in time…
“Bite me…” Elijah let his head fall back, exposing the flawless skin of his throat. “Drink…”
Hesitating for a second, Dominic let his face morph as he sunk his fangs into the offered throat, moaning as hot, rich, slayer blood filled his mouth. He moaned as he felt himself fall over the edge, spilling his seed inside the slayer and Elijah himself clinging to him as hot liquid filled Dom’s hand.
Elijah’s fingers dug into the mattress as Dominic continued to drink, pant and moan as the connection between them grew stronger. His arms trembling, he made himself let go of the mattress and wrap them around Dom, holding him closer against his panting body, encouraging him to drink as much as he wanted…as much as was safe…
A few more minutes and Dominic made himself withdraw, not wanting to weaken the slayer more than was necessary. After all, they had training the next night. His face morphing back, he stared down at Elijah with sated eyes. “Thank you…”
“No, thank you,” Elijah smiled, stroking Dom’s face. “I love how I feel when you do that. I feel even closer to you, each and every time….”
“It’s just…having you trust me like that…”
Elijah smiled. “Why does that surprise you? That I’d trust you with my life? I thought that’d be pretty obvious by now.”
“I don’t know…it just does. It takes a lot for a slayer to trust a vampire and with our stormy history…it just means a lot.”
Elijah smiled and pulled Dom down for another kiss. “Well, it’s all because I love you, Dominic Monaghan. I love you with everything I am. I don’t know if I would have been able to get through all that I did without you. I was stupid to ever think I could and fucking lucky that you loved me enough to forgive me…to still be with me…”
“Well, it takes a lot to run me off,” Dominic smirked, remembering the trials they had to go through with Astin. “To tell the truth…I had lost my faith there for a while…I had lost myself. I shouldn’t have done all I did, just because I thought that I had lost you. You would have been in the right to stake me when you had the chance…”
Elijah sighed, remembering those horrible days, when he had been blinded by Sean Astin’s lies, but not too blind to finally see through them before he had lost Dom forever. Thank god for Emilie yelling Sean down the way she did and finally making him see the damage he was doing not only to Dom, but himself as well. “I’m so sorry for that. I know it was my own fault. You wouldn’t have…fuck…I’m still pissed that I was so stupid…”
“Don’t be, love. You were just trying to do what you thought was best for everyone. Now, let’s not talk about that anymore. It’s the past and Astin is out of our lives forever. It’s all about the future now…”
“Yeah,” Elijah sighed unhappily, his vision coming back to him. Eli’s instructions. He was going to have to tell Dom. He didn’t want to, but there was no more excuses to hold back. “Dom…we…I…I have to tell you something…it’s about my vision…”
“Finally,” Dom chuckled, lifting himself off Elijah to lay down next to him, staring at him with curious eyes. “Tell me, love. What did you see?”
Elijah was quiet for a minute, not sure of what all he should tell Dom. It was so much…and just thinking about it made him choke up. Maybe he’ll just tell him everything. The more Dom knew, the more able he’d be to get through this. “I saw Eli…”
“You did,” Dominic became more focused. It’s been a long time since he’s even thought of his former lover and the fact that he was a part of his slayer’s soul. Now he was curious. For Elijah to see Eli, the vision must have been intense. “What did he say?”
“That if I lost this fight…Bean would take your humanity away…that there’d be nothing of you left….just a monster. The monster he always wanted you to be. You wouldn’t even get a chance to meet the sun…”
Dominic blinked, not sure how to take that bit of information. Somehow, he wasn’t really surprised. Bean had always been disappointed in the way he had turned out. He hadn’t taken his humanity before, because he had always assumed that he could always control him. He guessed his recent defection to the slayer’s side made Bean see differently. “What else did he say?”
Elijah took a deep breath. This was the part he was dreading. “He said that there’s a slayer weapon that would help to defeat Bean. It was made for a slayer…”
“Well good. We’ll just go and retrieve it,” Dominic grinned, wishing that they could go right now, but knowing that was impossible, since daylight was upon them.
“That’s the thing. I can’t go. No slayer can. Only a vampire who has the love of a slayer can retrieve the weapon….”
“Which means, I have to do it, right?”
“I’m sorry,” Elijah looked away, feeling guilty for sending the man he loved off on what could be a dangerous mission.
“Hey,” Dominic lifted Elijah’s chin, making him look at him. “Don’t be sorry. I’ve been wanting to do something to help you beat Bean, and this is it. I’ll do it gladly.”
“But it can be dangerous. You’ll have to go into the Romanian mountains, and who knows what you’ll have to face…”
“I laugh in the face of danger,” Dominic grinned, wanting to lighten the mood.
“I’m serious. This mission…what if you get lost and can’t get back before daylight? What if you run into some vamp hating towns people with stakes or something else twice as nasty? Why must you go do it alone?”
“Oh Lijah,” Dominic pulled the slayer into his arms, holding him tight and stroking his back, hoping to assuage his fears. “I’ve faced so many things in my long life…I truly doubt there’s anything that I haven’t faced before. I’ll be fine. And I’m sure there are caves in those mountains that I can duck into, just in case daybreak comes before I get back. I’ll be fine….”
“You don’t know that…”
“But I believe it. You should too. We’ve faced Uruk Hai and Astin. We’ll get through this too. After all, there’s a prophecy about us, yeah? Can’t have me dying before it comes to fruition.”
“I…I just wish it didn’t have to be this way. I wish that you could stay here where it’s safe.”
Dominic pulled away and looked deeply into his slayer’s eyes. “It’ll be ok, Lijah. I’ll be fine. I promise.”
“Don’t make promises that you can’t keep Dom…”
Dominic smiled warmly at his lover, as if there was a secret that only he knew. “But I can. I promise you, Lijah. I’ll come back to you, weapon in hand.”
Elijah just smiled sadly and shook his head. “Silly, foolish vampire.”
“Silly, foolish vampire in love.”
Elijah just smiled and hugged Dom tightly, hoping that Dom was right. That he’ll come back to him in one piece. Weapon in hand.
