Chapter 7

1590

Anthony may not have exactly had total control of Caitlyn just yet, but for the moment she was still following commands well. He was dressed only in his robe, which was very loosely tied and the flaps were pulled apart at the crotch, allowing his cock to thrust upward into Caitlyn's hungry mouth. His right hand rested atop her head as it bobbed up and down on him, while his left arm wrapped around Nina's bare shoulders. Nina sat cuddled next to him on the sofa, just as naked as Caitlyn, idly fingering herself as she observed the show being displayed before them.

They were watching Sara and Meg perform one of Anthony's favorite games on the bed in front of them: the two girls were entwined in a tight sixty-nine position, hungrily licking and slurping each other's wet folds, trying to see who could make the other cum first. Whoever won got to have sex with the master. Sara and Meg were also particularly fond of this game, and frequently offered to play it when Anthony was bored. Seven times out of ten Meg won, but each time Sara lost she gained a burning drive to win next time (due in no small part to Anthony's hypnotic influence), which sometimes brought her victory. Once or twice they actually came almost simultaneously, and the game had to be taken into sudden death.

Aside from the obvious appeal of this game, it was also particularly entertaining to watch how fiercely the two of them struggled to maintain composure. Their fingers dug into the undersides of each other's thighs, their toes curled and their legs fidgeted about, not to mention the sharp, muffled grunts that both of them were making. Sara, who lay prone beneath Meg, at one point dropped her head back on the bed and began crying out freely. "Focus Sara," Anthony commanded. "You're never going to win that way." She immediately lifted her head back up to Meg's sex to resume.

"She's certainly trying," Nina said. Anthony's attention turned away from the game in front of him to Nina. The often-recurring thought of turning her was resurfacing again. Despite his fears about losing her, the more he thought about making her a vampire the more he liked it. Nina was more to him than just a harem slave; he loved her. He wanted her with him forever.

"Nina," he said. She looked up into his face. "Do you love me?"

"Yes."

"Let me hear you say it."

"I love you, master."

"Will you stay with me forever?"

"And the day after."

Anthony kissed her deeply, forgetting about Sara and Meg, even forgetting about the blowjob he was getting from Caitlyn. His mind was made up. "Close your eyes," he said, "and show me your neck." She obediently closed her eyes and tilted her head, brushing her hair away from her neck for him. It was almost the most beautiful part of her at that moment, that bare neck just waiting for his kiss. He tenderly bit into it, for once allowing himself to not hold back, and to let his meta-toxin freely pump into her as he tasted her sweet blood.

It may have been the taste of her blood that finally set him off, releasing his jet into Caitlyn's mouth. He released Nina and looked down at his newest girl, who was diligently keeping her lips sealed around his shaft and not letting a drop escape her mouth. She hungrily gulped it down and smiled up at him. Nina lay back on the couch, panting lightly and squirming just a little.

At that moment Anthony realized just how distracted he'd been; he hadn't even noticed Electra approaching, or had any idea she was standing behind him until now. Ordinarily he would have sensed her approaching all the way down the hall, but he supposed he had a legitimate excuse. Did she know she'd taken him by surprise? Anthony decided not to let on that she had, just in case she didn't. "Is there something you want, Electra?" he asked without turning around.

"Might I speak with you a moment Anthony?"

Anthony didn't let her hear him groan. He knew better than to say no to her, though. He was just getting up and pulling his robe closed when Sara suddenly screamed out her declaration of defeat: "Oh, I'm cumming! I'm cumming!"

"I win!" Meg beamed, sitting up and looking toward Anthony with an eager smile. She had a face that said she was eager to receive her prize, and Anthony would have been all too happy to give it to her, but it would have to wait. So he decided he would make her wait.

"I'll be with you in a moment, Meg honey," he said. "For now, I want you to get on your hands and knees on the bed, and turn your ass towards me ... yes, that's it. Caitlyn, I want you to go sit in that chair, and Sara, you're gonna go down on her. Meg, you're gonna stay right where you are, don't move, and you're gonna watch them, and you're gonna think about me and what I'm gonna do to you when I get back. Understand?"

"Yes, master."

Anthony turned and stepped into the hall where Electra stood with her arms folded, as usual. "I hope this is important, Electra," Anthony said. "As I'm sure you can see, you did interrupt something."

She paused a moment. "I presume you recall the little outing I went on last night?"

"To visit that old pupil of yours, right?"

"Yes. She wanted me to meet her newest and most promising student. And I must say, I was quite impressed with what I found."

"What did you find?" Anthony groaned impatiently. "And what the fuck does it have to do with me?"

"Anthony," she said, looking straight into his eyes, "I met your sister. I met Elizabeth."

Anthony supposed he should have been surprised to hear his sister's name. Somehow he wasn't. "Haven't we been down this road already? I tried to bring her in after you turned me, and you insisted I shouldn't bother."

"A mistake, I will admit. I hadn't thought then to wonder what kind of potential one of your flesh and blood might hold. I've seen it now, and I want it."

Anthony remained silent for almost a minute. "Alright," he said, "what do you want me to do?"

Electra craned her neck and looked back into the room Anthony had just come from. "We'll discus it in ten minutes with the Blood Squad. Go finish having your way with your harem, and then get your clothes on and meet us in my chamber." Then she turned and headed down the hall.

Anthony had avoided thinking of Elizabeth for a long time. He'd known ever since he was turned that she belonged with Electra's group; if only Electra had the capacity to take someone else's opinion seriously.

He continued pondering these things until he reentered the room. The first thing his mind turned to then was not Meg, but Nina, who lay on the couch half-conscious and writhing. It suddenly occurred to him that she was going to need to feed once she woke up, and for her first meal to be packaged blood just seemed like a cruel thing to do to her. She deserved fresh blood for her first meal.

Well, there's always the simpleton. He looked at Caitlyn, seeing her squirming about and grunting in the chair with Sara's head buried between her legs. Though he had been planning on keeping her around, when he stopped to think about it he wouldn't really miss her. She was just a toy he picked up at the club, and throwing her away to feed his beloved Nina wasn't going to bother him.

Having decided that, he turned his attention to Meg, who was staring at him with desperately waiting eyes. "Are you ready for me now, Meg?"

"Yes master, I'm ready. Please fuck me now."

His cock twitched at those words. "Tell me what you want."

"I want you inside me, master. I want you to fuck me."

"You can do better than that."

"Please, master, please, I need your cock! I need it so bad, master. Please, just come inside me!"

Anthony happily discarded his robe, his cock standing ready as he climbed up on the bed and kneeling behind her. He stopped it right at her entrance, and when he heard her disappointed whimper, said, "Beg one more time."

"Please, master, I can't stand it, I'm so hot, I need you inside me now!"

"Good girl," he grinned as he slid into her warm, wet folds, getting her happy groan as a reward.

Even as Elizabeth grunted with pleasure and her fingers dug into Katrina's hair, she lifted one hand to look at the one thing she was still wearing: her watch. It was already half-past eleven. As much as she was enjoying herself now, she couldn't stay too much longer; she didn't want it to be too late when she knocked on Tyler's window. She would have to make sure not to get carried away.

Each night arriving at Annabelle's place, Elizabeth never knew if the night's activities would involve a Blood Rose lesson or simply fun and games. Tonight had turned out to be the latter. Annabelle had not invited the boys tonight, instead choosing to let the girls enjoy what they affectionately liked to call a "pussy party." Annabelle knelt over Monique's spread legs, expertly and quite enthusiastically servicing the ebony beauty with a big purple dildo, while Monique grabbed at her breasts and grinded her head against the floor. Charlotte had donned her favorite strap-on and was giving Rosanna a good doggy-style—and being quite the dominatrix, too, slapping Rosanna's ass and commanding her to scream louder.

Noemi and Miko, not surprisingly, remained focused on each other. They had actually been the start of the evening's entertainment: Annabelle had produced a double-dildo, and the Japanese sisters had gotten down on all fours and both slid onto one end of it, ass-to-ass. The girls had started out watching what would have almost looked like a girl getting fucked by a mirror if it weren't for the short pink hair on one end and the longer blue hair on the other. After they had each cum once—almost simultaneously—and the other girls started playing with each other, the sisters had shifted to sharing the thing while lying flat on their backs. After both cumming again, they had sat up, flipped the toy around, and stuck either end in their mouths. Then they had set the thing aside and started making out, which they still were now, legs intertwined, clits rubbing together, their mouths muffling each other's high-pitched little grunts.

Katrina's hungry tongue brought Elizabeth roaring to her second orgasm of the evening—the first having come from Charlotte's strap-on. Before Elizabeth's screaming mouth even had time to close, another girl's sex was shoved on it, awaiting her oral service. Elizabeth didn't need to look up to know it was Rosanna, nor did she even need to hear the southern lilt of the "oh baby, yeah!" that came from the girl's mouth when her tongue went to work on the pussy in front of her. She also didn't need to open her eyes to notice Charlotte come up behind Katrina and begin fucking the Russian hottie senseless even while Katrina continued her oral service of Elizabeth. Fortunately Katrina had great self-control, and her mouth kept doing its work uninterrupted while she moaned into Elizabeth's sex.

Within a few more minutes, a pleasured scream from Rosanna heralded the dam that burst over Elizabeth's face. Elizabeth's own orgasm came soon after, and then she heard Katrina's after that. Almost on cue, Monique added in with an "oh fuck, I'm cumming!"

Annabelle suddenly rose to her feet. "You girls keep playing," she said. "I'm going to go check on our guest." Then she turned and left. Elizabeth had almost forgotten about Kaeli...

And almost forgot about her again as all the girls—except for Noemi and Miko, who still remained locked in their own private bubble—ganged up and jumped Charlotte, who thus far had given plenty and received none. "It's your turn, sugah," Rosanna grinned, pulling off Charlotte's strap-on, while Monique came crawling over with Annabelle's dildo held ready in her hand. Hands and tongues went everywhere over Charlotte's body.

Elizabeth held back from the frenzy for a moment, looking again to her watch. Another seven minutes had passed. Maybe she could stay for another twenty or so. Then she dove in, getting a hungry mouthful of Charlotte's left tit.

Where am I? Slowly Kaeli's eyes opened. Her vision was kind of choppy, and didn't see everything around her at once. Slowly, bit-by-bit, the room around her started falling into some kind of order. Her mind seemed to be in the same condition, too. Where she was and why she was here and what day of the week it was were still trying to come back to her. She was lying on a bed, she could tell that. On it, not in it; she was above the covers. She was also naked, fully exposed to the air.

And fully exposed the fingers that were gently touching her skin. She turned her head to look above her, and saw a woman's face looking down at her, putting a calming finger to her lips. It took a few seconds for Kaeli to attach the name Annabelle to that face. Kaeli hardly moved as Annabelle's soft touch glided across her bare arm, over her shoulder and ultimately cupping her breast. Kaeli breathed hard, and her skin tingled at the feel of the soft hand that gently squeezed her breast and pinched her nipple. She said nothing in protest or otherwise; as long as she looked at Annabelle's sparkling green eyes, she couldn't. She was a prisoner.

Relax. Enjoy yourself. She couldn't tell if that was her own voice in her head or not, but her thoughts weren't cohesive enough to wonder about it as Annabelle's head lowered down and her tongue extended, beginning to run electrifying circles around Kaeli's nipple. Kaeli's eyes closed again, her breath coming out hard. Annabelle's tongue danced around one nipple, while her hand slid over to begin massaging the other. Kaeli's hand rose almost on its own to place itself on the back of Annabelle's neck. Where and when and why and how didn't matter right now; the only important thing was that she liked what Annabelle was doing and didn't want her to stop.

Annabelle's tongue began moving upward along Kaeli's body, while her hand began moving downward. Her tongue made warm, wet streaks along Kaeli's neck, rising up to her face; her hand gently slid over the flesh of her midsection, making Kaeli's heart speed up as the fingers came closer and closer to her sex. And at nearly the same moment that Annabelle's tongue was warmly welcomed and greeted into Kaeli's mouth, two fingers slid inside of Kaeli's opening with a thumb moving over her clit.

Kaeli held Annabelle to her as if they were lifelong lovers, their breasts flattened against each other, tit-to-tit. Her hips writhed about under Annabelle's titillating fingers making wonderful work on her sex. Her tongue explored all the recesses of Annabelle's mouth, from her tongue to her lips, feeling the shape of her teeth and the sharp points of her fangs...

Something about that set off an alarm in Kaeli's head; not enough for her to instantly assess why, but enough for her to suddenly break off the kiss. Nonetheless, she was still mildly disappointed when she felt Annabelle's fingers removed from inside her, but she soon forgot about that as she watched what Annabelle did then. Annabelle leaned her head to the side and drew a fingernail along her exposed neck, creating a line of blood that slowly oozed onto her flesh. Kaeli lifted her head to it, extended her tongue and tasted what Annabelle offered. It was metallic, coppery—and sweet. It was wonderfully sweet.

It's blood! As soon as the first drop had slipped down her throat, the logical part of Kaeli's mind that had somehow been suppressed until now began screaming at her. She instantly remembered where she was and how she'd gotten there—and desperately hoped to God she was wrong about what had just happened. She bolted upright, throwing Annabelle off of her as if Annabelle were a bed sheet. It couldn't be true ... she knew she'd used the antidote, and it had only been minutes after she'd been bitten. It couldn't be...

Her shaking hand rose up to her mouth, and her fingers slipped inside her mouth, feeling for ... her blood practically froze as she felt the sharp tips of her new fangs. "Oh God," she managed to say in a hoarse, raspy breath. "No ... no!"

"Whatever is wrong?" Annabelle said, not even trying to hide the smug undertone in her voice. "Isn't this what you wanted?" Kaeli stared at her. How much did she know? How could she have known? What in the hell did that bloodsucking bitch do?

"Come to think of it, you must be thirsty by now," Annabelle added, getting up and walking into another room. Kaeli began hurriedly throwing on her clothes, not wanting to be in the room when she got back. She dressed and grabbed her purse— She picked up the tracer that lay at her feet, still blinking. Suddenly a whole new series of questions had been raised. Regardless of why the antidote might not have worked, it should have taken her about twenty hours to change, during which time Dorian and the others should have already come crashing through the doors and laid siege to the mansion. Yes, the plan had been for her to be awake to let them in, which obviously hadn't worked, but regardless they still should have been able to break in somehow when they got the signal from the tracer. So why was she still here? Why hadn't they come charging in and carried her back to HQ—or killed her, for that matter, if she was already changing? Why was Annabelle still alive? What happened to the team?

"Here we are now," Annabelle said, returning in a simple black dress with a white bowl in her hands. Kaeli realized that her moment of pondering had cost her the moment she needed to get away unnoticed, but that wasn't going to stop her now. She headed for the door, but Annabelle immediately stepped in her path, cutting her off. "Don't be in such a rush. Here, drink up."

Kaeli was about to push past her and walk out the door, until she looked down into the bowl that Annabelle was holding up to her. As soon as she set eyes on the dark red fluid, everything in her body started screaming at her. Her stomach churned in anticipation and she felt a stirring in her teeth. The rational part of her head was the only thing that wasn't demanding her to grab that bowl and plunge her mouth into it like a ravenous dog. Before she even realized it the bowl was in her hands, inches from her face. She could smell the stuff in it, the heavenly aroma promising a sweet and delicious release from the way her body was screaming at her.

God save me, I really have turned! I'm a fucking vampire! Shrieking through her teeth, Kaeli tossed the bowl across the room, making a crash and a splatter on the far wall, and shoved Annabelle aside and bolted. She moved like whirlwind through the hallway and down the stairs, only stopping when she collided with one of the girls in the main lobby. She looked up from where she'd landed in a sitting position on the bottom step, and instantly recognized Elizabeth looking down at her. "Kaeli? Are you alright?"

"I'm sure you'll remember what it feels just after you first wake up," Annabelle said, smoothly descending the stairs. "You'll understand if she's a little scared right now. Is the party over already?"

"No, the other girls are still in there. I just need to go. I have to meet someone."

"All right. Remember to practice with this person if you get the chance. Don't let yourself get complacent."

"I know. I won't." Elizabeth looked down at Kaeli, said, "Don't be a stranger," and turned and left through the big double doors.

She talks to me like we're friends!

"You really should try to relax a little bit," Annabelle said. "It'll get easier. I know it might be a little difficult to accept at first. Especially for a hunter."

She knows! Kaeli glared with more loathing than she'd ever had for anyone in her life at Annabelle, who simply stood there, smiling at her. She'd killed a lot of vampires before, but she'd never hated any individual one so much.

"You'll feel better after you have your first drink. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."

"No!" Kaeli shouted, bolting to her feet. "You stay away from me, you goddamn bloo—"

"Careful what name you use, hunter. Remember, you're one of us now."

Her moment of seething rage was swept aside by the crushing reality that Annabelle was right. Goddamnit, she was absolutely fucking right! Kaeli's head fell into her hands. "No ... please, God, no!"

"You know what they say about being careful what you ask for. Because Kaeli, darling, you got it."

"NO!" Kaeli ran for the front doors, threw them open, and ran some more. The front gate with the electronic lock stood ahead of her; it could easily be opened from the inside with the push of a button, but that would have required her to stop running and push it. Instead she jumped. She jumped, grabbed onto the top of the gate, vaulted over, and kept on running.

She ran until she collapsed to her knees on a park walkway, leaning against a wooden bench. As much as her head was churning, she realized that so was her stomach. The image of that bowl of blood Annabelle had offered came rushing back to her, and it wasn't a small part of her that was now wishing she'd taken it. As horrifying as it was to admit, she needed to feed. She needed blood.

No! It wasn't going to come to that. Every hunter knew what had to be done in this scenario. It was the scenario she had always been prepared for, but had always believed she would never have to worry about. She hadn't forgotten the rule her father taught her: "it's better to die as a human than live as a monster." It was too late for one, but she could still avoid the other.

"Hey, lady, you okay?"

Frowning, Kaeli looked up at the pair of nighttime joggers, a man and a woman, who had happened upon her. Immediately she noticed one particular thing about them: they had been jogging for a while now, and their blood was pumping hard. She could hear it pounding in their veins. Her muscles tensed, as if she was preparing to pounce.

Don't do it!

"Are you alright?" the woman asked, bending down to her. "You want me to call 911?"

"Get away from me!"

"Hey, lady," the man said, "we just want to help and you don't look so good—"

A bare-fanged, bestial growl, which it took Kaeli a moment to realize came from her, caused both of them to recoil from her. "Whoa, what the—"

If he said anything after that, Kaeli didn't hear it. She definitely heard the woman screaming, though, whether or not she was consciously aware of it at the moment. It was all kind of a blur. But when she lifted her head and her senses started to clear, she saw the woman looking at her in horror and then turning and running off screaming. And when she looked down she saw why: the man's dead body that she knelt on top of, with the bloody wound in his neck and the taste of his blood still fresh in her mouth.

It suddenly became difficult to breathe. The nightmare had just taken its worst possible turn. She collapsed onto her side, and what few breaths she managed to get out came out as hysterical sobs. This isn't happening! Why didn't the team show up when they were supposed to?

They should have already killed her. It would have been better than this. They should have followed the tracer's signal— The tracer ... where was it? She still had her purse, but on careful inspection she found the tracer wasn't in it, nor did she remember putting it back in her purse, or switching it off ... she last remembered having it in her hand before Annabelle came in. She didn't remember putting it down anywhere ... when she thought about it, she was sure it had still been in her hand when she ran out of the room...

Elizabeth! She'd been too caught up in her panic to notice it at the time, but when she thought back on it, she remembered seeing the little blinking light on Elizabeth's back down close to her waist on the left side when the girl walked out the front door. She must have accidentally planted it on her when she bumped into her.

So they'll follow the signal to her ... they'll track her down, and they'll kill her ... and that's good, right? She's the one who bit me... Because I let her. She could try shifting the blame all she wanted; this was really all her own fault. She was the one who came up with this crazy plan, and didn't even bother to tell Dorian about it because she was afraid he would've said no—and rightly so, apparently. She had walked willingly into a vampire's hands, almost as if she wanted this to happen...
