Page 16 of Alaric's Hidden Gem

I put my ear at the door and heard loud thumping noises and wood splintering. Something fell off the wall to my right, but I ignored it.

“What? I want to meet my sister-in-law,” another man’s voice said.

I cringed because they probably weren't men. They were all vampires, and I sure as fuck didn't want to meet more of them. My head shot up, and I covered my mouth to stifle my gasp. The vampire had said, sister-in-law.

Was he referring to me? Were these his brothers?

I put my ear back to the door, wishing I had super hearing, but all I could hear was incoherent mumbling, which grew fainter. I lifted my head when I realised they were returning up the stairs. Well, I knew why he locked me up. It wasn't punishment but protection.

What could I do in this room? Toss a butt plug at their heads? Stake their hearts with a rubber rabbit?

I sighed, wondering how all this was a reality and not some fucked up long dream that I couldn't wake up from. When I was about to go into the bathroom for a soak in the bathtub, I heard the door unlock. Alaric walked in and closed the door, holding a bag in his hand.

“Put some clothes on and come upstairs. My brothers are here,” he said in a churlish manner.

“Do you have any pads or tampons?” I asked as he walked towards me with the bag.

He shook his head with a frown before it cleared up, and a predatory glint appeared in his eyes. Before I could blink, he had me lying on the bed with his face between my legs, and he diligently began to lap me up. I saw the bunched-up toilet paper lying on the floor before I closed my eyes as I felt him push his tongue inside of me.

He unceremoniously pushed my legs apart and held my legs in the air. My face burned because I couldn't have him lapping up my pussy like a dog in heat every time I leaked in comparison to ladies’ sanitation products. He licked the entire length of my pussy, pausing to play with my clit, and I decided that sanitation products were overrated and this might be a new way forward. He ran his tongue up my thigh to the spot he bit yesterday, but he didn't bite me. He kissed my inner thigh and put my legs down.

“Such a wet little pussy,” he said as he licked his lips. “We’re going to finish this later.”

He wore jeans with a black shirt, but I noticed his hand inside his jeans, fondling his cock, until I realised he was trying to get it into a comfortable position. Nothing was going to hide his hard-on, but he pulled his shirt out of his jeans to cover his dick.

“My brothers can be intense, so be a good girl when you meet them,” he said with a clear but silent warning.

He waited until I nodded before he left the room.

For fuck’s sake. If he was saying they were intense, then I would be doomed to be stuck in the company of three gloomy vampires for God knew how long. My heart just about stopped when I remembered they would all know I was on my fucking period because of their jacked-up senses.

Ultimately, I’d decided to have a quick body shower before putting on the simple black leggings and a royal blue sleeveless top. The only plus side was that the outfit came with underwear. There was nothing else in the bag, so I cautiously opened the door, and my jaw dropped at the chaos in the hallway. The once stunning dark wood was splintered to show the lighter wood beneath the varnish, and some of the marble flooring was cracked. I avoided the pieces of wood on the floor and noticed a large chunk of marble at the bottom of the staircase. It had come away from one of the steps further up. As I walked up the steps, I saw some cracked ones.

Alaric had never hurt me with his strength, but seeing the damage to the stairs, flooring and wall, I could see how easy it would be. When I reached the hallway on the ground floor, Alaric stood there waiting for me. He sniffed the air a few times.

“It looks as if your shower has masked some of the scent of your blood,” he said with approval.

I bit the inside of my lip to stop myself from saying something I would regret later. My nerves gave me verbal diarrhoea. It was unintentional, but I couldn't risk it this afternoon. He guided me towards the kitchen and outside into the shaded area.

The two vampires that stood there were completely different. One was a giant who wore jeans and a dark grey hoody. The other was tall but slimmer, and he wore a suave suit similar to Alaric’s when I first met him.

“This is my older brother, Damien,” Alaric said, pointing to the dark-haired, slim vampire.

His eyes turned black like a snake’s before returning to normal.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said, reaching for my hand before glancing at Alaric. He patted my hand and let it go. “I hope these two didn't frighten you earlier.”

I shook my head and was about to turn towards his other brother, but he became a blur and came up behind me to sniff at my hair.

“She smells like a normal human,” he said.

Alaric narrowed his eyes on him and pulled me towards him.

“And this is my younger brother, Christian. They won't be staying for long.”

His brother had his hoody pulled over his head, and I gasped when I saw his eyes were nothing like his brothers. They were an amber colour.
