Chapter 17

Leandro

Now that Anais had settled in with the other enthralled and they were all eating and drinking together and keeping tabs on the locations of each of their owners, I could finally relax. She had managed to recover some of the former doubt and the vampires were mostly relaxing and paying her as little attention as they paid any enthralled at this stage.

I noticed that a lot of the vampires who were closest to Ludis hadn't arrived yet and it made me worry that they were having some kind of meeting somewhere. If they were talking, I was excluded and prior to two nights ago, I was finally being accepted into their inner circle and Ludis was beginning to trust me.

Anais had set me back and created distrust between Ludis and me and she was going to have to appear enthralled even more than she did now if we had any hope of winning it back.

Still, I had to hope there was time and I was going to make sure she finished him off and gained us both the satisfaction of seeing the little shit die at her hands.

When he did finally saunter into the room I had to do everything I could to hide the glances I sent his way and the tenseness I felt. I was talking to some of the other vampires about our next destination and if any of us would bother getting off the ship. No matter how much we could influence the ships to leave at certain times of day for the main port to embark and disembark, we couldn't do so every day.

It meant that most of us stayed aboard at each port unless there were specific safe houses in specific locations.

Ludis noticed me quickly and came my way.

"I thought we'd lost you in Vegas. Surprised you managed to get here so fast, but Butch here tells me that you've been letting that woman turn your head." Ludis didn't sound pleased about it.

"Not until I checked her out for you. She's no hunter and she's now my enthralled."

"And you sure she's not fooling you?" Ludis asked, not keeping his voice down. He looked over my shoulder at her and the room began to quieten, vampires noticing that the boss was here and he wasn't happy about something.

Just as he started to stroll to Anais, she looked our way and took in the quickly changing atmosphere in the room. I set my jaw and started to walk after him. At first it looked as if butch was going to get in my way, the muscular vampire shifting as if to block my path, but I shoved past him as if he wasn't even there.

No doubt he'd try to make me pay for that later, but I wasn't going to play nice if Ludis was about to try to kill Anais. If he so much as scratched her, I was going to kill him and every vampire near me and that included Butch.

To my surprise Anais beamed at seeing Ludis, got to her feet, handed her drink to one of the other enthralled, and came hurrying over to us. By the time she was close, I had drawn level with the vampire.

Ludis stopped, staring at her.

"Oh, how wonderful to see you again," she said, almost purring her words as the enthralled had earlier. For anyone who had heard both and might suspect she wasn't enthralled still, it might seem a little suspicious, but Ludis lifted an eyebrow and relaxed a little. "I had no idea how amazing it could be to let someone like Drew take charge. He's really very skilled in many ways."

Anais raised one arm and placed it along the top of mine so her hand was near my shoulder and neck and then leaned into me. "I promised I'd make it up to him for not believing him sooner," she carried on, looking at me, even though it sounded as if she was talking to Ludis.

She glanced his way briefly before kissing me. I didn't have to fight my desire to pull her in closer, until my arms were around her, my hands on her back.

I ran them over the silky smooth fabric and down her back until I could grab her whole ass in my hands and pull her body in tight against my growing erection. She melted into me, letting me hold her where I wanted her and focused on the kiss, her tongue exploring my mouth as much as mine did hers.

Ludis chuckled and I felt him slap me on the shoulder.

"I guess you pulled the hot one after all. Enjoy her. You're clearly holding back when you don't want to. In fact..." Ludis turned to the whole crowd. "I'm in a good mood today, let's start this party early tonight."

I grinned, knowing that I'd basically been instructed to bend Anais over the nearest sofa and finally show her what a vampire orgy with their enthralled looked like.

Some of the enthralled were about to be shared, but I knew no one would even consider coming after Anais this time. She was mine and I was going to enjoy every minute of her. I zoned out everyone else as I pulled the strap of her dress down on one side and revealed one of her breasts.

Her eyes widened briefly, but I pulled her in for another kiss as I grabbed her breast and pinched the nipple. The arousal response I had already begun training in her with all the teasing was almost instant. She moaned and her scent was so intoxicating.

Instead of fighting the animal urges inside myself, I let them loose on her, the passion growing as I decided that she would also finally get to cum. And then I would show her just how much pleasure her body was capable of. And how much I would enjoy toying with her in so many ways.

I picked her up and carried her to the nearest sofa. Not at my most gentle, I manhandled her down onto it and pulled as much dress aside as I could to get to her panties. She was so hungry for me her pussy was glistening in the light. At some point I was vaguely aware of another vampire staggering past.

She tried to squeeze her legs together to cover up her body, but I was between them and she couldn't stop me from exposing her if I wanted. Although I knew this would be a lot for her to get used to, I had warned her that there wouldn't be much turning back once she'd agreed to pretend and take on this mission.

I'd had a form of consent and I knew that now it would be suicide if I didn't encourage her through this. As she lifted her arms to cover herself back up, I grabbed both wrists, brought them together with the strength of one hand and pinned them above her head.

Leaning over her I kissed her again and put my body between the view most of the room had and her. When she still struggled against me a little, her body tense, I brought my mouth to her ear again.

"Relax. You need to go along with this. An enthralled would be loving this. Would be focused on my pleasure." I tried to whisper the words as quietly as I could so no one would hear me, but I was taking a risk given the ability for a vampire to hear.

She slowly eased her body and let me continue exploring her. I didn't take long to free my hard cock and my own control went out the window as soon as I rubbed the tip up against her opening. She moaned, bucked her hips against me and it was all the encouragement I needed to thrust hard and deep inside her.

Gasping, she tried to pull back a little and it reminded me that I was a vampire and she was a human. I couldn't let myself go fully and not run the risk of splitting her in two. Still, she was strong and limber and with each thrust I took she matched the drive.

It was hot, fast and spoke of the need we both had for each other as I felt her body begin to shudder.

The orgasm I had denied her for so long broke over her, the moan she let out with it deep and loud. Her head tipped back as she lost herself in ecstasy. I kept thrusting, enjoying the feel of her body as she pulsed around me, tight and slick and everything I had hoped for.

I slowed a little to allow her time to enjoy her own pleasure, but I wasn't done with her at all. As she recovered a little I relaxed my grip on her arms and kissed her some more. She returned the warm affection with still more desire and panted gently between each one.

Smiling at her, I continued to drive myself into her. She grunted and shifted, trying to get comfortable again and keep thrusting against me. It felt so good that for a few seconds I closed my eyes and just let myself enjoy the moment, pretending we were alone and I didn't have to worry about any of the vampires around me.

I couldn't allow myself the luxury for long. It was too dangerous and we still needed to sell this relationship. I opened my eyes again and admired her beauty and body.

Being a hunter and training to kill had given her body a level of fitness and strength that few humans could manage and she was still keeping up with me, seeking even more pleasure for both of us.

I mixed up the pace, slowing down and driving deeper again while we clung to each other. Around us the rest of the room had begun to indulge in each other as well and I caught her glancing in different directions. When she did it for a third time, I gently took her chin in my hand and pulled her head back to look at me.

Holding her gaze, I began to lift the pace again and drive myself into her. I had let go of her arms, but she he left them up above her head as if she hadn't even noticed they were now free. She moved them finally, draping them over my shoulders, her hands on my back and her nails digging in as I thrust.

It was heavenly to enjoy her body, and as I brought the both of us close to orgasming together, I pulled her body in even tighter against mine. She was getting close to tipping over again and I didn't want to wait any longer. Nor could I resist the scent of her any more.

As I orgasmed, pumping my semen deep into her and throbbing hard as I did, I leaned in toward her neck and bit down. She barely even gasped, my bite timing with her own pleasure so well that her moans covered the surprise.

Her blood tasted even better than I had hoped and I drank deep, hungry for her at the same time as finally being sated. For a few seconds I worried that I wouldn't be able to stop myself from draining her dry, but as her hands ran over my back and she began to panic, I managed to slow, keeping my mouth in place and licking at her wounds as I slipped a little of my venom into her.

It wouldn't turn her. For that she would have to drink my blood, but it would help keep her strong and give her the endorphin rush that would make her want this again. Although she had gasped when I'd bitten, she hadn't flinched and had two very neat puncture wounds on the side of her neck.

I stayed inside her as we both came down from our high, keeping her body close. She began to shudder a little, a natural reaction to so many chemicals flooding her and the new feelings she was experiencing.

As soon as I was sure her wounds were closed and she would recover well I kissed her deeply. She was calming beneath me and I smiled at her.

"Did that please you, Sir?" she asked, her voice gentle and barely above a whisper. Everyone else was in the background, all lost in their own pleasure seeking and I focused entirely on her.

Her words took me by surprise enough that I hesitated to answer, but I pressed my lips to hers again and then stayed close. "Very much so. I am very pleased."

She leaned in toward me, sighing contently and with enough enthusiasm that I wasn't sure if she was faking it or not. I rolled slightly, so I could rest without being on top of her and brought her body in close. For a little while, I let her lean against me and get some energy back while I stroked her body, running my hands up and down.

Although I planned to let her rest for a few minutes, I wasn't done with her and the vampires around me wouldn't expect me to stop until she was too exhausted to keep going. I would get her some water and then show her many other ways she could please me. And then I would reward her with her own mind blowing orgasms.

While much of this was for show, I couldn't deny that I was enjoying it and I considered what to do with her next. This might be an act for Ludis, but there was something about her that made her naturally submissive and pleasing. I could tell from everything she was saying and doing and the scent of her arousal that she wanted to please.

All I had to do was guide her and not only would Ludis believe that this was genuine, but we would have a lot of fun tricking him.

By the time another hour had passed, I'd fingered her until she'd come again and then sat back for her to learn how to use her mouth the way I liked. Ludis finally noticed us, when I had my hand wound tightly into her ponytail as I was guiding her lips back and forth. I was setting the pace for her to suck me off and she was taking me without hesitation.

Ludis watched us for a few seconds, but I pretended not to notice and be absorbed with teaching Anais to take me deeper and deeper. Now and then I pushed her down onto me far enough she gagged slightly, but she had enough sense to swallow as she did and I was a harsh enough taskmaster that I didn't let her slow or pull up even when she did.

Now and then she swirled her tongue around me and she kept the rest of her body relaxed, not fighting me and letting me know she was still consenting to this intense lesson. I could also smell her wetness and arousal. She was turned on by my moans and knowing that this was enjoyable for me.

As I grew closer and closer to my peak, eager to finish down her throat, I pulled her down onto me. It pushed my hard cock down her throat and made her gag all the more but her reaction tipped me over the edge and I shot my cum into her. She tried to swallow and take the cum, but either way, I didn't give her much choice, holding myself as deep down her throat as I could get.

It was a little mean of me and if we hadn't been in front of an audience, I wasn't sure I'd have pushed her so hard, but I couldn't deny that it made the orgasm even stronger to know I was taking control of her and using her for my pleasure. In the background I heard Ludis laugh, no doubt also enjoying seeing me dominate her.

Slowly, I let her back up off my cock and as soon as I did she gasped for air.

"Good girl," I said as I relaxed my grip in her hair and ran my hand down the side of her face. Having my cock so deep down her throat had made her eyes water and smeared her makeup a little, but as far as I was concerned it only made her look more attractive to me. She had pushed herself to make this work, and I was very pleased.

As Ludis walked off again, I helped her to her feet. Her body was shaking a little again and I knew that she needed rest. It wasn't even dinner time yet and I had already worn her out. Finally giving in to my desires with her had been even better than I'd hoped, but it was time to get back to work and I couldn't do that while I was letting my body think with the other head.

"Let's get you back to the room," I said, slipping my arm around her and encouraging her to lean in toward me.

There was no argument from her, but I noticed Ludis glance across at us again and then lean in toward butch to tell him something. While we might have convinced all the normal vampires that she was my enthralled and safe, I didn't think we were there yet with Ludis. Not by a long way.
