Night Train Part 12

"Stupid child." He bared long teeth and lunged lightning fast.

Elaine stood her ground, then twisted out of his way at the last second, slapping the back of his shoulder hard as he passed.

Dimitri tipped forward and fell in an untidy heap on the carpets.

She blinked. I didn't think I hit him that hard.

Dimitri rolled gracelessly back onto his feet cursing in a language she didn't know.

She grinned. "I'm sorry, you were saying something about stupidity?"

The entire collection of guests tittered. A few laughed outright.

He didn't charge again, he stalked her instead. "I'm going to rip your throat out."

"You have to catch me first." Elaine waited, watching his movements, waiting for him to telegraph what he intended to do.

"I'll catch you." He was in her face in less than a breath.

She barely saw the punch coming, but she did see it, and blocked it, snapping out a punch of her own.

"Think so?"

He blocked her punch clumsily and lashed a foot out at her. "Bitch!"

She slid behind his kick and lashed out a short side snap that took out his supporting leg at the knee.

"Asshole!"

He dropped, rolled clear, and came back snarling, punching and kicking. "I'm going to rip you apart and fuck the remains!"

Wow, nasty temper.Elaine was forced to move out of the way, a lot. His moves were definitely rusty, but it was clear that he had been a vicious fighter at one time. And he was starting to warm up as his body remembered. She dodged and twisted around him, staying as close as she could. He had a longer reach on her.

She slipped into that perfect place of perfect calm and perfect awareness. His threats got nastier, but they rolled past her hearing. They traded blows at increasing speeds. He was remembering his training. He was getting harder to hit, but then, so was she.

He grabbed for her sleeves, and the silk slid right out of his hands.

"Missed me." She caught him around the wrist just long enough to divert his follow-up punch, and grinned. "Got you!" She ducked under him and rolled him right over her back.

It was a humiliating move, to be lifted and thrown by someone so much smaller, and God only knew how much younger, not to mention a female. Elaine simply could not stop grinning, or rubbing it in. "Oh look, the big bad vampire is getting his ass kicked by a little girl!"

Dimitri regained his feet snarling with fury. "This game is over!" He lunged and feinted to the side, catching her just wrong by the braid. "Got you!" His punch to her stomach slammed her back onto the carpet with his weight riding her down. He snapped at her throat with long teeth. "Your blood is mine!"

She caught him just right with her legs and flipped him riding the roll until she sat on top of him. "Guess again fang boy!" She was going to win and soon. She could smell it on his skin. She could smell it under his skin. She could hear the slamming drumbeat of a heart and the rushing surge of blood. She knew for a fact that it wasn't her blood she was listening to.

And she wanted it.

She felt her teeth lengthen in her mouth and focused on the throbbing in the hollow on the side of Dimitri's throat. Moisture dampened her panties.

Dimitri's nostrils flared and his eyes widened. He screamed obscenities and swung upwards with both fists together.

She flipped back and off of him before his double-fisted blow could catch her. She rose smoothly onto her feet and closed in on him, blocking his enraged swings.

Dimitri cleared a space for himself and jumped back, all the way to the far side of the carpets.

Confused by the raw sensations running rampant in her body, Elaine paused on the far side of the carpets. The sound of soft moans, whimpers and softly shredding silk flooded her ears.

All around her, the guests writhed against the walls or on the floor. Ripped and parted clothing gave access to seeking hands. Bared breasts were clutched tight, skirts were lifted, and trousers were opened as guests mounted guests. The scent of sex washed over her in a choking wave. And blood. The vampires were feeding all around her. Her perfect calm shattered under a lava flow of raw red hunger. Thirst mixed with lust in a boiling combination that choked her and burned a trail up the back of her skull. It ached, in her belly and in her core. She moaned and reached down to clutch her crotch, but that only made the ache worse. She lifted her head, and stalked toward Dimitri. He was her prey, and sheneeded him.

On the far side of the carpet Rafael cleared his throat. "You should have been swifter in your defeat Dimitri." Dimitri swung toward Rafael. "What?" "Elaine has yet to have her first feeding." Rafael smiled sweetly. "And it seems that her hunger has come upon her."

Aramus lifted his chin. "There were the two of us in the making of her. Her hunger is likely very strong." He delivered a nasty smile. "We'll pull her off once she tastes you." Dimitri snarled. "Her blood is mine!" Rafael smiled. "We shall see." Dimitri turned toward Elaine, Elaine was nearly upon him. The idiot hadn't been paying attention. He snarled, and attacked with everything he had. Elaine shifted around him, feinting and looking for a good opening. She could smell the sharp sweet stink of his fear-sweat and anger. She could also smell the musk of his arousal. He was afraid, but he was also hard.Good.She needed to get him on the floor and under her. He got a hand on her long braid again and they tumbled to the floor in a tangle of flailing limbs andsnapping teeth. He rolled above her, ripping at the silk of her top with her t-shirt and tearing it free, baringone breast. "Mine!" He lunged down, lips curled back from savagely long teeth.

She speared her hand up into his bare stomach. Rich, thick, hot wetness spilled down onto her. The smell of raw blood perfumed the room.

He choked and froze, stunned.

She twisted hard, rolled on top and her mouth opened against the side of his throat, her teeth stabbing into his flesh. Hot, sweet blood spewed into her mouth, pumped straight from the heart. Her fingers knotted in his hair to hold his head still.

He arched under her and howled. His arms closed around her holding her against him with punishing

strength.

She tightened around him gulping the hot stream, and writhing against the hardness pressing urgently against her hungry core. Her wet fingers slid on the silk. She couldn't get her pants open to take him into her.

He gasped and bucked franticly under her. The perfume of male cum scented the air. He had climaxed. Lightning burned down her throat and struck her heart. She almost let go. A vibrant warmth spread from her heart. It was the most incredible sensation, like an orgasm. Hands closed on her arms and on her braid. "Enough Elaine." Someone yanked her head back, her teeth tearing flesh as hands pulled her away and off. She screamed and fought. "No! I'm not done!" She rolled face down on the wet carpets. A heavy knee was set in the small of her back and her hands were ruthlessly pulled behind her.

"Yes. You have won, you are finished."

She screamed and kicked out. "No I'm not!" Something soft was knotted around her wrists. Her kicking feet were caught and tied at the ankles. "I'm not done!" She was rolled onto her back.

Aramus stared down at her with huge dark eyes and long teeth. "Yes, you are."

Tears filled her eyes. "No, I'm not! Please?" Her voice broke on a sob. "Please...more?"

Slung over Aramus's shoulder like a sack, Elaine was hauled back upstairs. Her tears had fled and she was pissed as fucking hell. The guests had laughed when they'd carried her out. It was utterly humiliating. "Put me down!"

Rafael ignored her as he walked ahead of them, his black silk robe clutched closed in his hand. Aramus's robe was pinned closed with a diamond star. They had tied her wrists and ankles with the belts from their robes.

"Damn you, I need...!" She writhed and twisted. "I want...!" But she didn't quite know what her heart was hot and aching for. On top of that, her entire body was screaming for a good hard fuck. "I'm gonna kick both your asses for this!"

"Be still!" Aramus's hand came down hard on her butt. Elaine jerked.He hit me? She opened her mouth and lunged down to bite his back. Aramus's grip on her braid kept her teeth from his skin, barely. "Stop!" Elaine trembled with white-hot fury. "I hate you!" "You do not hate us." Rafael opened the bedroom door. "Straight to the shower. She's dripping on the carpets."

"Yes I do!" Elaine kicked out. "I hate you both!""

Aramus slipped past Rafael and crossed the midnight bedroom to the white marble bathroom. A growl

rolled from his chest. "Stop fighting!"

"No!" Elaine twisted in his grasp. Her bodywanted ...whatever it was, and she needed to go back there and get it. Rafael opened the glass door to the shower stall and grinned. "We are not dealing well with frustration." "Fuck you!" Elaine lunged at him snapping. "That is enough Elaine!" Aramus let her drop from his shoulder. Elaine fell hard on the shower's tiles. It knocked the wind out of her and bruised both elbows. "Ow!

Shit!" She twisted on the floor and bared her long teeth at him. "Fuck you too!" Aramus glared down at her. "That attitude requires a swift adjustment." Rafael lounged against the shower door and tisked. "She's a fledgling that just took down a fully mature vampire, of course she has an attitude." Aramus glared at Rafael. "At whose design?" "Mine of course." Rafael stepped out of the shower stall. "Look at it this way, after this the others will be less likely to try cornering her as they did you. Dimitri will certainly not try again." Aramus left the shower. "But now she is completely uncontrollable!" Rafael chuckled softly. "Not completely." Elaine panted and wriggled trying for a more comfortable position than lying back on her bound arms.

Her heart hungered for something she couldn't name and her crotch was a wet throbbing ache. The inciting smell of the blood saturating her clothes, made everything worse.

"She hates me." Aramus's voice was barely a whisper.

A stab of guilt struck Elaine's heart. She didn't really hate them, but she was seriously pissed at them.

And desperately horny. Her elbows and bare heels rasped on the tiles as she fought the ties on her wrists. God, she was dying for a fuck!

"She does not hate you, she is frustrated. We interrupted her feeding." Elaine finally succeeded in rolling onto her side and curled up tight. 'Frustrated' was too small a word to describe the burning hunger eating her alive. She couldn't even get her fingers on herself to do something about her throbbing clit. A small moan escaped her lips.

Aramus groaned. "She had something. I could smell Dimitri's release."

"But you did not smell hers."

Clothing rustled.

Elaine looked up. According to the shadows on the glass, they were both getting undressed. Were they going to fuck her? God, she hoped so.

"She is going to be very difficult to control."

"If we had let her finish, that would have been so." Rafael chuckled. "As we did not, we will master her very swiftly."

Elaine stiffened. What the hell did that mean?

"Is that why...?"

"That is precisely why."

"Ah." Aramus sighed. "Restraints?"

"No, I do not want to make this easy for her."

"Good."

Elaine shivered. That definitely did not sound promising. She just hoped it involved fucking. As long as it involved fucking, whatever it was, she was all for it.

Rafael appeared at the doorway of the shower, he was naked, and disconcertingly gorgeous. He was also rigidly erect.

Elaine focused on his thick heavy cock. The blushing purple head was peeking out of its sheath. It looked mouthwateringly delicious. A tiny hungry sound slipped past her lips.

Rafael leaned against the frame, folded his arms, and smiled. "Elaine, would you like a fuck?"

Elaine opened her mouth.God yes! And closed it. She was pissed at them. She was also in desperate need of that long hard cock. A small sound of frustration slipped past her lips.Fuck it. "Yes."

Rafael raised his brow, and waited.

Elaine winced. "Yes, please."

"Better." Rafael tilted his head. "Are you willing to be obedient to get it?" Elaine swallowed.Trick question. "How obedient?" Rafael shrugged and pursed his lips. "Oh, the usual, totally, completely and utterly obedient. If we give you an order you follow it without question, without argument and without delay."

Elaine's breath stopped.Oh... She took a breath and caught the warm perfume of his lust. Her body clenched. She tried very hard not to writhe on the cold tiles. "What if I...can't?" Rafael straightened and shook his head. "I'm afraid that I must have your complete submission. If you cannot give it, then you will remain as you are, bound hand and foot. We will bathe you, then bed you down on the floor. Perhaps tomorrow you will feel differently." Elaine froze shocked. They would leave her tied up? On thefloor ? She glared at him. "You can't leave me tied up. That's inhumane!"

Rafael's brows shot up. "But Elaine, you are not a human. You are a newborn vampire who nearly killed a fully mature vampire. I would never allow such a vampire - a vampire who cannot control her actions, loose among the human staff!"

Elaine gasped, completely appalled that he would even think that. She rolled onto her back. "I would never hurt one of your staff!" Rafael shrugged. "If you cannot control your actions enough to be obedient, you are too dangerous to be trusted amongst the staff, therefore you give me no choice. You must be restrained."

Elaine jerked at her wrists. "That's totally unfair!"

"Indeed?" Rafael pursed his lips. "How so?"

Elaine's breath stopped in her throat. She didn't have an answer. Her head fell back on the tiles. The

more she thought about it, the more what he was saying made perfect sense. Nearly every staff member was human. And she wasn't. Oh god, he was right. Shewas dangerous, shecould kill people if she wasn't careful. Her fight with Dimitri proved that. "Just how dangerous am I?"

Rafael's voice was soft. "You are a vampire, a predatory creature that preys on the most dangerous animal of all - mankind." Elaine felt something other than hunger crushing her heart-profound guilt. She had to take a breath to speak past the hard lump in her throat. "I don't want to hurt anybody." Tears began to trickle down.

Rafael sighed. "This does not concernwant , this concerns control. You have to give me your complete obedience to prove that you have enough self-control to be allowed among the humans who live and work here."

Elaine had to close her eyes. It hurt too much. "Am I evil?" Aramus's voice came from the doorway. "That depends on what stories you read." Elaine jolted with the memory of saying those very words to him.That was only last night? So much had happened since then. She took a deep breath. "Okay." She took another deep breath. "I'll be obedient." "Totally, completely and utterly obedient?" Rafael's voice was firm and uncompromising. Elaine flinched. Said that way, it sounded awfully permanent, but what choice did she have? "Yes."

"If we give you an order, you will follow it without question, without argument and without delay?" Elaine chafed at Rafael's words. She desperately wanted to curl up and die. Unfortunately death was not coming any time soon. Not by a long-shot. "Yes."
