Chapter 35: Alexis

Chapter 35: Alexis

It felt surreal that just a few hours ago, I had placed my life on the line and was about to die, and now I was here, swathed in bed, wrapped in my mate’s arms, and drifting gently to sleep.

Will’s heartbeat softly in his chest as he lay beside me, my breasts touching his body, his hands in my hair, and his lips so close to mine. All I could feel for this man was undying, unconditional, true love.

“Hey, don’t you go falling asleep on me,” I said, holding him in my arms.

“You blew my mind just now. That sex…I can safely say it was the best sex we’ve ever had,” Will said.

“You know why that is? There’s actually a name for that sex,” I said, smiling at him as I stroked his hair.

“What? Do they really have a term for this?” Will’s surprise was genuine, his awe real.

“Yeah. They call this the thank-god-we’re-alive-sex. The name fits, don’t you think?” I said, giggling.

“I bet there’s some chemical correlation between the amount of dopamine released depending on the amount of adrenaline already coursing in our system,” Will said.

“Since when did you become such an expert in biology?” Now it was my turn to be surprised.

“Since I found out that in the past seventy years, while I was imprisoned, the world had unlocked the secrets of the DNA, managed to clone a sheep, and cure some diseases that were incurable a hundred years ago. Humanity has come a long way,” Will said. “It terrifies me and amazes me at the same time. I do not presume to know everything, nor do I think that there will ever come a time when I can truly fathom how far we’ve come, but I’m trying. I sometimes go down to Fiddler’s Green Library and study the books at random. Biology’s easy and so are chemistry and physics. It’s computer science that confuses me.”

“For all it’s worth, it confuses everyone who’s not already a computer scientist. I could never understand how servers and programming languages and all that magical AI crap works. That sort of stuff is reserved for the Maliha’s of this world. She has a gift for this computing stuff,” I said.

“Sometimes I wonder if all those geniuses who know so much about computing are aliens. Like they’ve been sent from some other planet to teach us mortals how to harness the powers of computers. When I first learned what a computer was, and it wasn’t that long ago that I learned about it, I thought it was some arcane sorcery that had been unearthed by some ancient magicians. Now, thanks to a little studying, I know it’s all just ones and zeroes,” Will said.

“May I ask what you were really doing down at the library?” I asked, wondering why he had kept this a secret from me.

“Okay, this is embarrassing, and I don’t want you to make fun of me or think I’m being crazy,” Will said, blushing a bit.

“I promise I will never make fun of you,” I said as solemnly as I could. I just never expected what he’d say next.

“Well, it’s like this….” Will was stuttering. “Er…so I went down to the library because I thought my knowledge was old-fashioned, and what if one day I had kids, how would I teach them? How would I be able to help them with their homework? I just wanted to get with the times so that if my son or daughter came to me one day and said they were confused about their biology homework, I’d be able to pitch in and tell them what was what. I know it’s super embarrassing, and I forbid you from making fun of it.”

My heart melted at the sentiment. I hugged him while he was still in bed and pressed him close to my body. “There’s nothing funny about that! It is the sincerest, kindest, and cutest thing ever. I think that you’re going to be a wonderful father. You don’t have to worry about a thing. You’ll teach your kids how to play with a baseball, how to throw a pitch, and how to dunk a basketball. You’ll tell them all about your life and how you saved this town so many times. Your kids will love you. Our kids will love you,” I said, kissing his cheek.

“You think so?” Will asked apprehensively.

“Every child loves their father. Didn’t you love your dad? I sure as heck loved mine,” I said.

“I loved my father, but he was a very stern man. I am never going to be stern with my kids. I’ll never hit them or scold them. I’ll teach them with love,” Will said.

“Well, in that case, how about we go for round two?” I asked, running my hand down his chest and touching below his navel. His cock was already stirring from its slumber.

“You wanna try for a baby right now?” Will asked, his eyes wide.

“What’s stopping us? We’re about to get married shortly. A kid on the way will only speed things up. And we can get a jump start on being good parents,” I said, now holding his cock in my hand and stroking it. It became hard again in my hand. “My, my, someone’s a little eager.”

Will grabbed me by my waist and hopped on top of me, pinning my hands to the side of the bed. Then he reached down and kissed me on my lips, sucking them into his mouth and licking them with his tongue. Then he yanked off the blanket from on top of me till my breasts were naked. He stared at them vacantly for a second before reaching down and holding them. Then he lowered his mouth and sucked on my nipples, drawing deep pleasure in my chest.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I was already feeling quite horny, and his spontaneity had made me wet all over again.

Now, Will was nuzzling my breasts as he rubbed his dick against my clit, sending sparks of pure ecstasy shooting up my pelvis. My clit felt like a glowing light bulb as he rubbed the tip of his hard cock against it. I was never one for clitoral orgasms, but at that moment, as he rubbed harder and harder, I had my very first clitoral orgasm. My heartbeat became fast, and my legs started trembling as Will parted my legs open yet again and entered me for the second time that night.

This time, I moved under him, thrusting my hips up to take more of his dick in. He thrust just as deep till his balls were brushing against my butt cheeks. He straddled me from the top, still keeping my arms pinned down. I was entirely in his control as he moved and pounded and stroked. We were both sweating. His sweat dripped down from his forehead onto my chest. We still did not stop. Even though it was chilly outside, this room, this bed, and both of us were blistering hot. I’d forgotten entirely that a short while ago, I had emerged from the sea, feeling cold as ice.

Will was pounding me so deeply that I could feel his bulging penis touch my cervix. I moaned loudly, “Oh, Will!” as he quickened his strokes. My vaginal walls constricted against the hardness of his cock, latching on tightly to his entire length as he controlled me, pushed into me, and drove me into a pasture of maddening pleasure.

I came before him, my ears ringing, my eyes watering, and my body shaking with the raw power of the orgasm, my third one tonight. Then Will came in me again. Panting, he fell on top of me, covering my already sweaty body in more sweat.

We lay there for a long time, not talking, just panting.

When he regained his composure, and I mine, we looked into each other’s eyes and shared a tender, long, post-coital kiss.

“I am so tired right now,” I said. It felt like more of a confession than me sharing my current state with my mate.

“All the muscles in my body are sore,” Will responded.

“Do you think that the party outside will quieten down anytime soon?” I asked, still reeling from the post-orgasmic waves rushing through my body.

“I’m afraid not. We’re going to have to fall asleep in this din,” Will said, falling beside me and pulling the blanket over his face.

“Sleep well, my love. Tomorrow is a new day for all of us,” I said. “I love you.”

“I love you too,” Will said drowsily, and before long, he was already snoring. I found the sound of his snores comforting. They lulled me to sleep.

A long, gentle, and deep sleep.

Perhaps it was the talk that we’d had before we had slept, but in my dream, I saw two children, both their hair just like Will’s and mine. One was a girl, the other a boy. They were playing in the sand beside the beach, making a sandcastle with their plastic toys.

“Look, mommy!” the young boy said. “This is Cinderella’s castle.”

“No. This isn’t Cinderella’s castle. Mine is!” The young girl said, stomping her foot on the ground.

“Hey, kids,” Will said, coming into view. He lifted both children in his arms and said,” Cinderella’s married to a very rich prince. They can have two castles. So, how about we don’t fight?”

“Okay, but she lives in my castle more!” the boy said.

In this dream, I was laughing freely, with not a worry in the world. My body was not as young as it was in real life. There were stretch marks on my stomach and tan lines on my face. But I was happy. The first of the grey hairs had started to appear on Will’s head, but just like me, he was happy.

He came to me in the dream and sat down on the picnic sheet we’d spread on the beach.

“I told you moving to LA would be the best thing for us,” I said to him as I kissed him on the cheek.

“Note to self, never doubt what Alexis says. She always has the best suggestions. Like that place with the habanero pizzas the other day. I was skeptical, but you said that we have to try it. You were right. Those pizzas were delicious, even though little Brian’s tummy got upset in the evening,” Will said, lying beside me. His body was quite ripped, covered in thick, bulging muscles.

“Emma enjoyed the paninis they served,” I said. “And I loved their mayo sauce.”

“I liked their mayo sauce, too,” Will said. “We never had such places back in Fiddler’s Green.”

“Do you still miss the place?” I asked.

“After all these years? No. Wherever I am with you and the kids, that’s my home. Last month it was Boulder, Colorado. This month it’s Los Angeles. Next year we might be in New York. All that matters is that I’m with you.”

“And Brian and Emma,” I said, completing his thought.

“Of course, Brian and Emma Grimm,” Will said, nodding lightly as he kissed me on the cheek.

“Hush now, not in front of the kids,” I said, gently patting Will on the chest.

“You kissed me first!” Will said, then we both started laughing.

And this is how the dream ended.

***

I didn’t know what time it was, but when I woke up at night, a lot of commotion was still coming from outside. It was what had woken me up from my sweet dream.

Will was fast asleep by my side. I shook him awake.

“Will,” I said, shaking his sleeping body.

“What is it?” he grumbled.

“It’s four in the morning, and the party is still going on outside,” I said.

“I’ll tell them to wrap it up,” he said, getting out of bed while rubbing his eyes. “This isn’t fair.”

“I wonder whose idea this was,” I said, getting out of bed and following him.

“It was probably Vince after he drank one too many whiskeys,” Will said. “Seriously, this is way too loud.”

“I had a dream, you know,” I said.

“Was it as good as the one I was having?” Will asked as we headed to the door.

We never got to discuss our dreams. The moment we stepped into the living room, it was clear that the sounds coming from outside were not from the revelers at the party. Those were screams. People were panicking outside.

Will hurriedly opened the door and gasped.

Outside, in the night sky, dozens of vampires were airborne, all of them flying over the commune. The screams were coming from the pack members who were trying to fend the vampires off. But the vampires were far too many for all the pack members to tackle.

“Tell me we’re still dreaming,” I said, staring at the sight of airborne vampires descending upon Fiddler’s Green.

“This isn’t a dream,” Will said, stepping outside with me by his side. “This is a nightmare.”
