“Conroy…” I whine his name. “Please. I am trying to be good. I am trying to do what has to be done. I’m going to be good,” I promise. “I’m not going to do anything crazy. I’m going to get the truck and drive it out the gate into the waiting arms of Alexander, giving him back his maker’s heart.”
“I still don’t like you driving the truck.”
“I think I should. I’m going to have to check the loading anyway. You two will be busy enough keeping stray humans off me, won’t you?”
“She’s right,” Tailor says to Conroy. “She’s safer in the truck than she is outside it. And we know she can drive.”
“Right. We do this clean. We get in. Now. We maybe stop some of the carnage, even,” Conroy says.
I have no intention of stopping any of the carnage. That’s beyond me. All I can do is what I am doing, giving Alexander what he wants.
Conroy smacks my ass, softer this time, secures me close against his crotch with two hands, pulling me against his cock, promising me another breeding, reminding me how much I love it when he fucks me. For just a moment, we are not standing outside a city being routed by vampires. We are not listening to the faint but discernible screams of those who are being devoured. We are not smelling blood and gunfire. We are wrapped around one another, very nearly fucking one another. And I love him.
I love him so fucking much I don’t think there’s anything he could do to me I wouldn’t enjoy. The smell of him drives me wild, makes my hips grind against him, my abs contracting to hump against his cock like a feral, hungry little animal.
“Easy, girl,” Tailor says, sliding his hand underneath my butt, right between my cheeks, his fingers pressing against my pussy through the fabric of my pants.
This does not make me feel easy. Not at all. This makes me feel very, very uneasy. This makes my pussy walls clench internally and my hips grind. They are doing everything but publicly fucking me and it makes me feel like I am on dirty display.
Alexander clears his throat.
“As much as I am enjoying this display of animal instinct, you are about to lose your window of opportunity, and if that happens, I am certain I will kill at least one of you in a fit of pique.”
Conroy lets me slide down his body regretfully, and all the awfulness of war slides back around us.
“The gates aren’t even open yet,” he says. “We have time.”
“You act like your lives could end at any moment,” he says. “Oh, I suppose they can.”
“We’re going to prepare ourselves for the incursion,” Conroy says, dragging me away from Alexander.
“I feel bad for the people who are dying,” I murmur.
“Don’t worry about them. Worry about yourself. And listen to me. I want you to follow my instructions to the letter,” Conroy says. “When those gates open, you go.”
“Shouldn’t I go now, so I’m there before the gates open? Then I can zip right in when I can.”
“No. Wait until there is a clear path.”
I am eager to run. I want this over with as soon as possible.
“I’m going now.”
Conroy grabs me by the arm, swings me around, and smacks my ass hard. My yelp seems to satisfy him.
“We are going to have a long, hard, painful conversation when this is over,” he promises me. “You have not been taught the lesson yet. You are still thinking that you get to make decisions, you get to get yourself hurt, you get to be reckless and…”
“So we’re just going to lose the advantage the vampires are currently giving us by bickering? Okay. That’s fine. I can’t see why we’d press this advantage now.”
Creeeeeakkkkkkkkkk!
That’s the sound of a city gate being opened against its will, big mechanical hinges screaming in pain as they are wrenched forcefully.
“Alright. Go. Go.” He releases me reluctantly, and with some level of annoyance and fear. I know he hates this. I know there’s more at play here than a tactical squabble. I’m making him watch terrible things again. This could go badly. We could get hurt. We…
Fuck, I cannot keep thinking.
I strip and shift, then grab my clothes in my teeth and run for the city wall. The vampires have gotten the gate open, and the humans will be trying to shut it, and there will be a lot of heatthere. I have to trust that Alexander has instructed the vampires to keep me safe.
