“You need to be more appreciative,” I said.
“Go fuck yourself,” he spat back at me.
Yeah, looked like he was feeling a little better. I reached over to refresh his cool rag and he reached up, grabbing my wrist. His grip was weak, but I stopped nonetheless to see what he wanted.
“Don’t… touch me,” he hissed.
I snorted. “I’m going to be doing more than just ‘touching’ you, boy. You are mine and that is that. If you survive tonight, you’ll be immortal, Isiah, and more powerful than you could have imagined. Get over this petty anger, it’s beneath you. Now, sit back and shut up.” I yanked my wrist free of his weak grip and took the towel from his forehead. I dunked it in the bowl of cool water, wrung it out, then put it back on his forehead, and he let me.
It was going to be a very long night, but I also believed it was about to be the start of a beautiful relationship.
CHAPTER TEN
ROMEO
Noel and I were driving back from the Outskirts, having just hunted two humans and fed on them. Both humans were dead now, their corpses rotting in one of the many piss, shit, and garbage-scented alleys the Outskirts had to offer. I wasn’t going to kill my human at first, but when I withdrew, Noel told me to finish him. I was used to killing now, but that didn’t mean I enjoyed it or always chose to do it. Noel was different these days, he’d fully embraced being a vampire, and I saw no mercy in him when he hunted.
The young vampire who walked into the prison that day to take me home wasn’t the same vampire who was sitting behind the wheel of his new ride next to me. He was speeding down the expressway as we traveled back to District Five. Going to the Outskirts was a far journey, but one Noel wanted to make. I was fine with just feeding from a blood house or a citizen, which was what I preferred. But Noel, my Sire, wanted to hunt. He wanted to feel the life drain from his prey. He wanted to see the light fade from their eyes. He was truly Théoden’s son.
To be honest, I found that a little sad. Maybe because I missed the relationship I could have had with Noel. The one that we were developing before his Father had checked him and reminded him that I wasn’t his friend. I was his son and he—my Father. We weren’t equal. I was only equal to Ryan, Marcus, and Jace in the house. A different dynamic than what I was used to when I had been with Dante’s rebel group.
Speaking of Dante, he was just like Noel, now. Without mercy and loving being a hybrid. I remembered the man he used to be. Righteous and ready to take on the world. I guess you could say that he was still that person, only now, he was playing for a different team. Finding Josef, seeing that he was the mate to the Alpha, totally changed him. He wanted everything he knew was coming to him. When I fucked him, sex was different, more aggressive, and even Noel would have to remind him who I belonged to. Not to say the sex was bad, though. On the contrary, it was fantastic. I just couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing now. Was he a full wolf Alpha? Whatever the case, I hoped he was happy.
“Why are you so quiet?” Noel asked me.
I turned to him and shrugged. “Just enjoying the ride, is all, Sire.”
“I haven’t read your mind, but I feel that you’re over there fretting over killing tonight.”
I sighed. “Not really. I’m used to it by now, Sir.”
“Doesn’t mean you enjoyed it.”
He did know me well. At least, he didn’t completely try to change me. “I suffer from residual guilt. When I’m caught in the bloodlust and feeding, I don’t really care. But afterward, when I’m still holding their dead body, I wonder… was it necessary, Sir?”
Noel rolled his eyes. “That sentimentality will get you in trouble one day, Romeo. I used to have it, and trust me when I say there’s no place for it in our world. I’ve said this to you before.”
“I know. Just ignore me. I’ll be fine, Sire,” I said. I really didn’t want to get into some big moral discussion where he would end it by telling me to accept my nature. I had already accepted my nature. I loved Noel, I did… but I wasn’t like him. I thought that disappointed him a little. But at least, I was good enough for Théoden and his other sons. They didn’t threaten to take me from him or kill me anymore. Noel had trained me to their satisfaction.
Noel reached over a few minutes later, his hand slipping between my legs, and grabbed my cock. “We haven’t quite christened this new car of mine with cum yet.”
I chuckled. “I would think you wouldn’t want anything on this pretty bitch, Sir.”
He laughed. “Oh, I don’t. But cum can be washed off the paint job.”
I moaned and widened my legs as he started to massage my hardening cock through my pants. “Mmmmm, yeeaahh, fuck… feels good, Sire.”
“I know what my boy likes,” Noel said, grinning.
“Yeah, you do, Sire,” I agreed. It was true. He knew exactly how to work my body inside and out. By that same token, I knew what he wanted, too. “Pull over, please.”
His smile widened as he pulled the car off the road onto a graveled shoulder and killed the engine. I climbed out of the car and walked to the front, then sat on the hood. Noel was out of the car and standing between my legs, kissing me, in less than a second. Vampire speed was impressive as fuck. I ran my hands all over his back as we made out. I could still taste the blood of his victim on his tongue, and I was sure he could taste the same in my mouth. It only fueled our lusts, though.
His cock was rock hard as he pressed it against mine and I knew he couldn’t wait to get it inside me. “I’m going to eat your ass so good, baby.”
Hearing those words always got me excited… crazy excited. Noel’s tongue was a dream come true. I pushed him back and he let me. He was far stronger than I was, even with just being like a week older than me. There was no way I could out-muscle him, we both knew that. He was grinning at me, his tongue flicking over his fangs. I wondered just what he was about to do with them, but whatever it was, I knew it was going to feel fucking amazing!
“What are you going to do with those?” I asked, pointing to his fangs.
