PART 12
Chapter 20
Clarissa was trembling with emotion as she looked down at the
sleeping Jessica. Oh mother, you might not have understood this,
but I found my heart again. Dearest mother, I have inflicted the
ultimate revenge on Tristan. I am in love with a woman who loves me
too and I am ecstatically happy. She flinched when the grey eyes
snapped open suddenly, filled with concern.
"What's wrong, my angel?"
For the second time in two days, Clarissa was shocked by the
human's intuition. It was impossible for her to be so attuned to
her moods, especially since she'd never taken blood from her. She
thoroughly searched her mind for any incidences where she might
have transferred blood toJessica. Memories flashed by as she
filtered through them. She came to an abrupt stop and
groaned.
Of course…
That time in the barn at Cleaver Keep. Their hunger for each
other was so great they had coupled frantically, tearing at each
other's clothes. She remembered a flash of teeth and groaned again.
Jessica had bitten her more than once that night, ingesting tiny
amounts of blood.
"Rissa, are you ok?" Jessica's eyes were dark with
concern.
Swallowing hard, Clarissa nodded. "Yes…yes, I am
fine."
The grey eyes narrowed. "Remember you promised to always be
honest with me. I know something's bothering you."
"How come you know when I'm sad or troubled?" Clarissa said with
a wan smile.
"Don't know, I just feel it," Jessicasaid with a
shrug.
Clarissa slowly stretched herself out on the bed next to
Jessica.
"I want to tell you something but I don't want you to freak out.
You promise?"
Jessica hesitated for a second before she nodded. "I promise not
tofreak out." Jessica moved closer to Clarissa and snuggled against
her body.
Her brown eyes warm with love, Clarissa planted a soft kiss on
Jessica's forehead.
"It's twice now that you were asleep and still could sense my
mood. It's usually unheard of for a human to be so attuned to a
vampire's frame of mind, unless…" She looked for a delicate
way of explaining the process to Jessica.
"Unless what baby?"
"Well…unless we have exchanged…uh…blood." That
was as delicate as she could be, Clarissa thought as she studied
the grey eyes. She braced herself for the onslaught of question and
accusations.
"Oh…" That was all.
Slightly disappointed, Clarissa propped herself upon an elbow as
she studied Jessica's face.
"That's it? You don't have anything else to
say?"
"No. Look since we both know you are a vampire; it's just
obvious that you might have bitten me. Am I right?"
Clarissa nodded.
"Yes, I bit you," she confessed slowly, her eyes wary as they
flitted over Jessica's face. Once again the human surprised her by
maintaining her cool.
"May I ask when?"
"Our first night together and a few more times
afterwards."
"Wereyou feeding or…?" This time she saw confusion in
Jessica's eyes
"No…yes…I mean…" She exhaled softly. "I wanted
to establish a mental link with you. Taking your blood enables me
to know where you are at all times, what you are thinking and to
gauge your mood." She quickly looked away. "I was going crazy not
knowing what you were thinking when you were with me. I knew you
would be angry with me when you found out."
"No, I'm not. It's strangely comforting, knowing that you can
come to my rescue whenever I need you because you know when I need
and where to find me." The grey eyes became pensive. "Does it mean
that I can do the same now?"
Clarissa shook her head.
"Not really. You can ask questions and I can answer you, but
that's about it. You can't read my thoughts as clearly as a lover
would."
A frown marred Jessica's brow.
"But I thought you said that I was attuned to your moods.
Doesn't that mean that I can also read your mind?"
Clarissa shook her head again.
"You can sense my moods because you have unwittingly taken some
of my blood."
Now the grey eyes were wide with shock.
"I did not!" When she saw the calm confirmation on Clarissa's
face, she added, "When?"
"When we made love in the barn. We were both so eager
to…"
"Oh my…I remember our lovemaking." She blushed fiercely.
"It was frenzied and…and I do remember biting you." The last
part of the sentence was said in a small, shy voice.
Clarissa smiled teasingly.
"Its okay, my love, it didn't hurt one bit."
Jessica smiled too and snuggled closer. "Yes, because you were
distracted."
"And delightfully so, my dear." This time the brown eyes had a
hungry gleam in them, making Jessica whimper softly.
"Do we really have to wait, Rissa? Why
can't…"
Clarissa quickly placed her finger against the soft lips,
silencing her lover.
"I want to claim you as mine, Jessica. I want to belong to you
completely and to do that I need a whole night to possess you. No
hurried coupling to satisfy our lust, but a long slow process where
you will cry out my name as you…"
"Ok, I get it, I get it," Jessica intervened quickly, her face
flustered and her grey eyes resembling a dark stormy sea. "Unless
we are going to do it now, let's not talk about sex,
okay."
Clarissa grinned and pressed her lips against Jessica's
crown.
"I understand."
They lay in silence for a few minutes quietly absorbing each
other's nearness. Clarissa smiled when she heard the soft sniffing
sounds.
"Are you sniffing me, beloved?"
"Yes."
"What do you hope to find?"
Jessica's hand moved up and come to rest against Clarissa's cool
cheek.
"Just wondering which sex your dinner was tonight." Her voice
was thick with amusement and she burst out laughing when she looked
up and found Clarissa staring at her with wide eyes, "Come on,
baby, it was just a joke. I simply like the way you smell. You
smell like rain."
"Really?"
"Yep. Clean and refreshing."
"Thank you. You smell very nice too."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jessica's hand lazily stroked over Clarissa's thigh as she lay
there, contemplating how she was going to approach the subject
which had been hovering on her mind for the past few hours. Maybe
she should just come out and say it. She propped herself on her
elbow and looked down into the vampire's
questioninggaze.
"Are you in danger?"
The brown eyes were now wary as they studied her.
"Yes."
"Oh no, Rissa! That's not really what I'd wanted to hear,
but…but I appreciate your honesty." Her hand was shaking as
she raised it to Clarissa'scheek. "What are you doing about
it?"
Clarissa looked away quickly, but Jessica gently turned her head
back so she was facing her again. "The truth, Clarissa. Raw and
uncut." What is going on?
She heard Clarissa take a deep breath.
"I'm meeting with Mary tomorrow night. Our plan is for me to
infiltrate her ranks and then attack. We have staged a killing last
night as part of my cover as a double agent."
Jessica was quiet for a while.
"So you are basically used as bait, since Mary is in actual fact
hoping to recapture you."
When Clarissa nodded, Jessica felt her heart jerk in her
chest.
"Does she…What does she want with you, Clarissa. Will she
try to k…kill you?"
Clarissa's eyes were gentle as they looked at
her.
"I don't really know what she wants with me, Jess. I just know
that I'm not ready to die …not now that I've found you
again."
Jessica leaned forward and unceremoniously climbed onto
Clarissa's body. She pushed her hands under the vampire's body and
gave her atight full body hug.
"That's not enough for me," she mumbled into the soft blonde
hair. "I need more. I need to know that you will come back to me
and that I will spend the rest of my life in your
arms."
Clarissa's arms came around her and she held her tight to her.
"I can't give you any more than that my love, I'm
sorry."
Jessica lifted her head and looked down into concerned brown
eyes.
"I'm sorry too." With that said she reached down and opened the
buttons on Clarissa's shirt. Her hands were shaking so much that it
took her a while to loosen the first button.
"What are you doing, Jessica?" Clarissa asked calmly as she
reached out to still Jessica's trembling hands. "Not like
this."
Jessica looked up from her task, her face streaked with tears as
her eyes caressed the face of the woman who held her
heart.
"You want to know what I'm doing, Clarissa," she whispered
hoarsely. "Well, I'm not sure if I will ever again get the chance
to make love to the woman of my dreams. All I know is that I can't
think of living the rest of my life not knowing how it felt to hold
her in my arms again, to kiss her magnificent body and to lie in
her arms completely exhausted but very happy." She roughly rubbed
the tears from her cheeks, but they were immediately replaced by
fresh ones. "So you ask me what I am doing. Well I am claiming her,
Clarissa. I'm going to make love to the woman I love with all my
heart before she walks away from me to go save the world and never
returns."
The emotion was suddenly too much for her and shecollapsed on
top of Clarissa, crying as if her heart was
breaking.
Clarissa was shaking as she held the sobbing woman in her arms.
What was she doing? Was it fair for her to go out and confront
Mary, not entirely sure if she would survive the battle? She felt
Jessica's tears seep through her shirt and she felt her heart
constrict painfully. They had finally met each other and now she
was standing on the brink of waging a war with a very cunning
enemy. As skilled a fighter as she knew she was, she was well-aware
that she wasn't invincible. Tahlia was an overprotective leader and
would never allow for any of her clan to perish in a fight. But
then she too wasn't able to protect her reincarnated lover all the
time. Her arms tightened around Clarissa. She simply can't imagine
her life without the woman in her arms. She needed her in her life
for as long as she wanted to be with her. And maybe even beyond.
Jessica stirred in her arms and looking down, Clarissa felt her
heart breaking at the pleading look in the grey eyes.
"I love you, Jessica. I love you with everything I have,
everything I am," she whispered in a broken voice.
"Then show me, Clarissa. Show me how much you love me."
Unable to refuse the urgent plea, she lowered her head and
captured the moist lips gently. Whatever might happen in the next
two days, she was going to make this woman hers. All she had to do
then was to make sure that she survived the coming battle and keep
her promise to her. She felt Jessica deepening the kiss, her tongue
filling her mouth and her hands frantically ripping at her
clothes.
"Easy, my love. Let's make this last."
Jessica was beside herself with desire as she fumbled with the
buttons on Clarissa's shirt. After a few seconds she looked up into
the smoldering brown eyes.
"Please help me."
A soft smile formed around Clarissa's mouth as she slowly sat
back. With a quick flick of her hand she ripped her shirt open,
giving Jessica a tantalizing view of a black satin bra.
"Ohhhh, baby…" Jessica groaned. "You are unbelievably
beautiful." She lowered her head and captured a satin-covered
nipple between her teeth. She smiled when she heard a soft gasp
from Clarissa. Her hand travelled down ribbed abs only to be
stopped by a barrier. "I want the rest to be off
too."
She grinned when she saw Clarissa reach for her jeans, but
struggled because her hands were shaking so much. She was just
about to offer her help when the dark brown eyes lifted to her face
and holding her gaze, she flicked her wrist.
Jessica was stunned to find them both completely naked and she
quickly sat back to stare down at Clarissa.
"How…what…"
Clarissa quickly turned her head away but not before she saw the
flash of panic in the vampire's eyes. A rush of tenderness coursed
through her at the obvious fear the vampire exhibited. She slowly
lifted her hand and drew Clarissa's face back so she could look her
in the eyes. The stark fear she saw in the brown eyes made her
place a gentle kiss on the soft lips.
"Never mind how you did it, my baby. You got the job done. Now
concentrate while I ravish you, you sexy thing." The last part she
purred in a husky voice.
She saw the fear slowly abate until the dark brown eyes were
once again alight with desire.
"I love you, crazy woman," Clarissa whispered softly and Jessica
laughed softly.
"Let's keep it that way."
She lowered her head and gently nuzzled Clarissa's neck, nipping
and sucking the soft flesh until she felt the vampire practically
vibrate with desire. Her mouth moved down a muscled shoulder to the
curve of a soft breast where she tenderly lapped at the hard
nipple. She murmured soft words of praise around the hard nub as
her hand slowly travelled south. She let her nails gently raked
over the ribbed abs, the act eliciting a soft groan from Clarissa.
Unrelenting, she continued her journey south, her head lifting
from the succulent breasts to look into the melting brown eyes. She
raked her nails through the soft, fragrant patch of hair at the
apex of Clarissa's legs and smiled when the vampire closed her
eyes, a soft sigh escaping her parted lips. An errand finger
slipped further passed sleek, swollen lips, to the well-protected
bundle, protruding from the steamy lips.
She gently tugged on the nub and gasped when Clarissa's hips
surged upward, almost unseating her. She rubbed the pad of her
thumb over the sensitive nub and was rewarded by a long drawn out
moan from her lover. She moved lower still and was pleasantly
surprised by the copious amount of wetness she found there. Jessica
felt her mouth water, eager to once again taste Clarissa's essence.
To drink from her until she was drunk from the exquisite taste.
Slowly, she let her fingers began to explore the entrance to the
hot cavern. She lazily traced a finger up and down and around the
sensitive band of nerves guarding the hot opening. Jessica moaned
when Clarissa spread her legs wide and her hands grabbed fistfuls
of the sheet.
"It's been too long, Jess. I need you so much." The soft breathy
words incited her further and without warning, she plunged her
fingers deep into Clarissa. A loud growl sounded and Jessica heard
a large tear. Before she could investigate the origin of the sound,
the view around her rotated and she found herself flat on her back
with Clarissa on top of her. Clarissa'seyes were very dark with
passion and she reveled in the power she had over this
woman.
Clarissa lowered her head and took her lips in a savage, lustful
kiss.
"Whatever you do, do not remove your fingers." Clarissa's voice
was hoarse with need. "That is an order, beloved." lose
Jessica nodded meekly, still startled by Clarissa's dazzling
display of power. She felt Clarissa starting to move, her breasts
swaying gently as she worked her way onto her fingers, pulling her
digits deeper into her. The blonde head was thrown back and with
her mouth wide open, she slowly rolled her hips sucking in the
fingers.
Fascinated by the erotic sight, she felt herself becoming so
aroused that she felt a trickle of wetness down her thigh.
Clarissa's movements gradually picked up speed until the bed
softly began to creak under her powerful undulations. The brown
eyes held hers captive as she surged into her.
"Oh baby, you look so beautiful," Jessica murmured and wiggled
her fingers slightly where they were buried deep inside
Clarissa.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Clarissa lifted her hand and pressed it against Jessica's lips.
She smiled when the soft lips open and a warm tongue licked at the
digits. Yes, that was what she wanted. That wonderful tongue
between her legs. She hoisted herself off Jessica's hand and
crawled up higher, leaving a wet path until she hovered over
Jessica's parted lips.
Her request was blatantly obvious and Jessica didn't wait to be
asked twice. Her hot mouth latched onto the swollen nub and she
began to suck hard, greedily taking her pleasure. A warm surge went
through her body and Clarissa knew that she wasn't going to last
long. But she also didn't want to come alone. She lifted her hips a
little bit and groaned when she felt Jessica's teeth desperately
tugging on her clit not wanting her to move.
A distraction. That was the only way she was going to get her
lover to release her. She leaned back slightly and rubbed two
fingers over Jessica's swollen clit, drawing a soft gasp from the
women underneath her. She quickly moved away from Jessica's hungry
mouth and slowly made her way down the long body to the steamy
place where her fingers had been a few seconds ago.
She looked up into hungry grey eyes before she pulled the nether
lips away, exposing its hidden treasure. She inhaled the strong
musky scent and moaned when her own clit twitched
eagerly.
She slowly lowered her mouth to the prize and felt Jessica
stiffen at the touch of warm breath on her clit. She carefully
licks the glistening outer lips groaning at the sweet taste of her
lover.
"Don't tease me, Clarissa." Jessica husked as she locked her
hands behind Clarissa's head, her hips bucking wildly. "Just give
it to me."
Clarissa gave in to Jessica's breathy request and began to lap
at the sensitive nub. Enthralled by the exquisite taste, she pushed
Jessica's legs wider and feasted on her hungrily. After a while of
loud moaning and grunting, she plunged two fingers into Jessica's
sex and almost immediately she could feel the tiny contractions
deep within her lover.
"I want us to come together, beloved." She quickly sat back and
brought Jessica's legs up and bent them at the knee. Leaning
forward into Jessica's arms, Clarissa allowed enough space for
Jessica to curl her legs high up on her back. She slowly pushed
forward and howled when her swollen sex touched Jessica's. Together
they bumped and grinded into each other until a high keening sound
pierced their room. Clarissa looked down into Jessica's face just
as it contorted in ecstasy, her mouth parting as the piercing sound
escaped from it.
Completely turned on by the image, Clarissa felt her body
starting to vibrate as a strong wave of excruciating bliss rushed
through her body, destroying any sense of coherent speech or
thought. With a deep growl she lowered her head, still grinding
powerfully into her lover's sex. Her fangs lengthened and too weak
to resist the hot, adrenaline-spiked blood coursing through her
lover's veins, she closed her eyes and bit down.
A splash of thick, pulsing blood rushed into her mouth and she
clammed down, working her hips faster as she drank deep and
greedily from the nourishing brew.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jessica screamed as the sensation hit her hard between her legs,
setting off a second orgasm. The energetic heaves of Clarissa's
body smeared them both with sweat, dripping onto the sheets.
Suddenly the pressure in her neck was gone, taking the ecstasy with
it. She felt the soft lap of Clarissa's tongue on her neck and
sighed at the loss of the euphoric sensation. She felt Clarissa's
hips coming to a slow grind before they stopped all movements.
The vampire moved off her and she reveled at the familiar
feeling of the sweat that pooled in her bellybutton and spread over
her stomach. The curse was broken, shattered completely. She raised
a shaky hand and pushed it through the sweaty blonde tresses. She
can't remember when last she'd been ravished like this. Her body
felt boneless, mushy and joyously alien considering her lack of sex
over the past three years.
Clarissa was lying quietly next to her making her wonder if she
had fallen asleep. Just then the blonde hoisted herself ontoher
elbow and looked down into her face. Jessica grinned brightly at
her ladylove, knowing that she must look the way she
felt…ravished.
"What a way to end three years of abstinence, baby," she
murmured, tracing the sensual lips with the tip of her finger. "You
are awfully quiet."
A small smile formed on Clarissa's lips, a hint of her deep
dimples showing.
"I think my body's been doing the talking for
me."
Chuckling softly, Jessica twisted a nipple making the vampire
gasp.
"You braggart, you."
This time the smile was wider, showing off the cute dimples
fully.
"You asked for it and I delivered. What is wrong with that?"
Clarissa's chocolate eyes were soft as they caressed her flushed
face. "You were wonderful."
They shared a tender kiss before Clarissa sat up and swung her
feet off the bed. Confused, Jessica sat up too.
"Where are you going?" She placed a soft hand on Clarissa's
back.
"It will be daylight soon. I have to…"
"Nooooo…Not yet," Jessica wailed softly, her hand curving
around Clarissa. "I'm not ready to let you go just
yet."
Clarissa turned her head, her brown eyes serious as they looked
at her. "I don't want to leave you either."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
"Down in the basement with the others."
"Please take me with you, baby. I really don't want to be away
from you." Jessica's voice had a slight hint of desperation to
it.
Clarissa swallowed hard and looked away.
"I can't."
"Why not?" The grey eyes widened. "You don't sleep in acoffin,
do you?"
"No, I don't sleep in a coffin." The brown eyes were sad when
they looked back at her again. "I am…we revert to a
corpse-like state when we sleep. I don't want you to be
scared."
Jessica felt a shiver run down her spine at the image of
Clarissa lying next to her, cold and stiff in momentary death. But
still her need to be with the love of her life was bigger compared
to the frisson of fear she felt simultaneously.
"Please take me with you. I want to fall asleep in your arms,"
she begged softly and saw the shock on Clarissa's face.
"Please…"
"You really mean it? You…you want to go down into the
cellar with me, where it will be as quiet as a
tomb?"
"Please don't scare me any further, but yes. I want to go down
there with you."
Clarissa smiled at Jessica's honesty and gently stroked her
cheek.
"If you are sure, then yes, I would love to hold you in my arms
until you fall asleep."
"Yes!" Jessica jumped off the bed and reached for her clothes.
They threw on their clothes and holding hands they left the room
and walked to the door leading down the staircase. Jessica came to
an abrupt halt, pulling on Clarissa's hand. "Why are we taking the
stairs and not the elevator?"
Clarissa smiled and Jessica almost swooned at the sight of the
beautiful dimples. They made her look so young and playful.
"I will show you." She opened the door and stood there for a few
seconds, listening. "Ok, come over here." She pulled her closer and
easily swung her into her arms. "Now hold on tight."
Still stunned by Clarissa's display of power, Jessica had barely
locked her arms around Clarissa's neck when the vampire burst into
action. She opened her mouth to scream, but no sound escaped her
lips. Everything became blurred, a vortex of near nothingness. If
not for the air tugging at her hair, she wouldn't have believed
that they were even moving.
After a very short while, she found herself swaying on her legs,
her hands clutching Clarissa close to her. A soft chuckle made her
open her eyes warily. Looking around she found herself standing in
a small dimly lit room. The room was bare except for the big bed in
the centre of the room.
When she turned to Clarissa, she found the vampire looking
around too, a sheepish look on her face.
"I only use this room for sleeping unlike the others who…"
she smiled faintly. "…are bonded."
"Like…?"
"Inger and Gabriella spend quite some time down here. Inger
actually lives down here with Paloma when she comes for a visit.
Their chamber is fully furnished for Inger's
comfort."
Testing to see if her legs could hold her weight she carefully
took a step away from Clarissa. Her knees buckled but just as she
reached for Clarissa, strong arms already held her tight against a
hard body.
"Is that how you guys always travel?"
"Yes."
"Cool…" she nodded her head slowly. "But I think it will
take me a while to get use to it though."
Clarissa smiled as she carried her over to the bed. "It's almost
time for my sleep. I usually sleep there..." she
pointed to the floor. "…but maybe I should share with you
tonight."
"Are you telling me that you usually sleep on the floor?"
Jessica's voice held a note of astonishment. "Why?"
Clarissa gently deposited her on the soft bed and turned away.
With the flick of her hand, a concrete slab moved exposing a deep
dark pit filled with soil. Jessica sat up straight, looking at the
dark pit.
"I sleep there. The soil is healing and
rejuvenating."
"Oh baby, it must be so lonely down there all by yourself." She
held out her hand and Clarissa took it, her eyes sad.
"Not really because I just fall into a deep sleep and wake up
when my body senses that the sun has set."
Jessica brought the cool hand to her lips and kissed it
tenderly.
"Well, tonight you will sleep in my arms."
Clarissa's eyes melted. "That would be so nice."
"Good, then come to bed."
