Forever Viper (9 page)

I close my eyes, as I feel my insides cool down, and the blood starts to work its magic as my hunger pains start to ease. Juan tries to release me from my bonds but Jade has to do it in the end. My sexual lust rises and I pounce on Juan and dry hump him wanting some action. That soon changes as I end up pushing Juan away. I can see I have hurt him by doing that, but the guilt of knowing we are hurting Peppa, is eating away at me. Maybe even some jealously of knowing he has been with Peppa plays a factor in that. I can’t stand the thought of not being able to hold her, to love her and I didn’t need to be reminded that Juan could. I'm being selfish, I know that, but being stuck in this room with my own thoughts will do that. He leaves shortly after my display but I don’t let him go without knowing how I feel.

A knock comes to the door and Jade walks in, “Are you ok Noah? How are you feeling?”

I sit on the edge of the bed and gaze over at her, “Would it be wrong of me if I said I'm scared?”

She walks over to me and sits down and gives my knee a quick pat. “No Noah, I would be more worried if you weren’t. What are you scared of?”

I bury my face in my hands and mutter into them, “I’m scared of leaving behind the life I had before this, of losing my humanity, of letting Juan down because I can’t cope with the pain and blood lust. But most of all I’m scared of losing Peppa. I miss her so much.”

Her hands touch mine and she moves my hands away from my face, “Why did you agree to let Juan change you over?”

I let out a sigh, “I was scared to die. I couldn’t handle the thought of never seeing Peppa or Juan again or not getting to say goodbye. I wanted to stay for them, to live my life and be happy. But the hunger…Sometimes I wish I died in that car.”

“Noah, the hunger will pass and with Juan’s help you will learn to cope. I was born a vampire, so I didn’t suffer like you are. Being changed over does mean you die but then you live again. That doesn’t mean you lose who you are. You still love, you still feel and blood still runs through your veins. Only you can hold on to your humanity and that’s because you have to fight the feelings you awake to, because if you don’t, you will lose yourself to the blood lust and become the monster that we are portrayed as.”

I stand and walk over to the window and look out, dawn will be here soon, “How can I go back and try and live a normal life when I’m asleep most of the day? How am I supposed to run my company?”

“You adapt Noah. There are ways and means. You will succeed because you seem like a man who doesn’t give up easily. And from the way Saul talks about Peppa, your love for each other will see you through this.”

I smile at that thought, but in the back of my mind I know Peppa is going to feel betrayed by Juan and myself for hiding the truth from her. I need to be strong, not only for myself, but for my man and woman. I mean every word that leaves my mouth next, “I have never loved or been loved by two beautiful people more. I will fight this blood lust for Juan. So that I may stand by his side and be a vampire he can be proud of. And I will fight for my beautiful Peppa, she’s everything to me, I’m not letting her walk away from us, we all belong together.”

I didn’t know Jade had moved until I feel her hand rest on my shoulder, “I like your fighting talk Noah, we are all behind you and if you ever need me, just ask.”

I turn to look at her and offer her a smile, “Thanks, I may hold you to that.”

She nods her head, “I better tie you up, dawn is approaching fast.”

I walk over to the bed and get in position while Jade ties my arms and legs to the bed. A funny thought comes to me and I chuckle while I voice it, “Just think, if you didn’t make it out of this room before sleep takes you, what do you think Juan and Saul will do if they found you slumped over me with your head in my crotch?”

She giggles, “Can you imagine their faces? We should do that one night to wind them up.”

I smile at her, “Don’t put ideas in my head. Goodnight Jade thanks for talking with me.”

“You’re welcome Noah, anytime. Goodnight.”

I watch as she sashays out of the room and I’m left with my thoughts, waiting for the sun to rise.

I awaken to a kiss being placed to my lips. I swallow but my mouth is as dry as a scorching desert and my insides burn waiting for the blood to douse the flames. I open my eyes as the first trickle of blood makes its way down my throat and my hand instantly comes up to touch Juan’s face. I smile into the wound on his wrist and I feast once again. I pull away when I have had my fill and lick my lips while bringing Juan’s head down so our lips meet for a lust filled kiss.

Juan pulls away first, “Well, hello to you too. Maybe I should be here each time you wake up if that’s your response.”

With a wicked grin I say, “If you release me I will show you what else I can do.”

The smile that is plastered on his face falls a bit, “Hold up there cowboy. That’s going to have to wait until later. I need to head back. Cruz is demanding we practice before the gig tonight. We were awful on stage last night. But I'm coming back here to sleep so we can talk.”

“What happened? Viper never plays badly.”

He starts to untie me and tells me, “It’s the first time it has happened. I guess we all have different concerns going on in our lives which are distracting us. But we won’t let you down. Cruz will make sure of that.”

As soon as I’m loose, I grab a hold of Juan again and devour his mouth. My hands explore his body. He clasps my hands together when they reach his dick and I can hear the restraint in his voice, “I really have to go Noah. You can have more of me later.”

I sigh as he pushes himself up with his hands to stand and I relocate my body to the edge of the bed. “Do you know how hard it is for me to not touch you? I want to fuck you Juan.”

He kisses my forehead, “I know, but look at what you’re doing Noah, you’re fighting it.”

Every part of me wants this man, but he’s right, I am holding back and I smile to myself at that. “You better go before I rip your clothes off.” He laughs and then he is gone.

So, what’s a newly turned vampire supposed to do with his time? Well, watch sports on TV of course and do some push ups and oh yeah, think about the woman you love suffering because you have vanished out of her life. By the time Juan makes it back I’m contemplating making him take me to Peppa, but I know he won’t.

Juan walks over to the bed and climbs on it and lies down next to me. “I can feel your sorrow Noah. Don’t you think I feel the same? This is killing me too. I chose not to see Peppa tonight, knowing she needs me. I even heard the disappointment in her voice. I feel like I’m being ripped in two and I’m frightened of losing everything.”

I move to face him and throw my arm around his waist, still lost in my thoughts and not taking in everything he says, “Talk to me about Peppa and don’t hold anything back Juan. I need that contact with her and I can only get that from you.”

He huffs, “Just in case you are wondering, I didn’t go to Peppa tonight because I thought you needed me more.”

I close my eyes as guilt makes its way through me and I let out a breath, “I’m sorry Juan, I guess Jade told you about our little talk. You don’t need to worry, I will work through it. Peppa needs you more than I do.”

I move away from him and try and get off the bed but he drags me back into his arms, not letting me go, and I rest my head on his chest. “Yes, she needs me as much as you do. It hurts Noah, all these comings and goings, all the lying, but what hurts the most is leaving you both each night. I feel so alone at times, so I need this. I need to be held and to wake up in someone’s arms.”

I lift my head, a little shocked, not only at his statement but at what I have just realized, “I can feel you Juan, I can feel your torment. Your emotions are running through me like your blood does. Shit Juan, I didn’t know you were torturing yourself like this. You are not alone, I’m here, I’m yours.”

“Yes, you are mine. We are fully Entwined now Noah. We will both feel each other's emotions, and as you get stronger so will the feelings.”

I like the thought of that, but all I see is sadness when I stare into his eyes. I lower my head and place a kiss on his forehead, “She loves you Juan. She will understand, she has to, because then what is all this about?” I point to myself when I say the last part, because I choose to become a vampire for Peppa, to stay for her and you. I lower my chin to his chest, never losing eye contact and ask Juan again, “Talk to me about Peppa.”

A small smile appears and in that moment his face lights up at her name. “She’s being strong. Monica is staying with her.” Hearing that makes me happy as Monica is a good friend to Peppa and will look after her until I can get back to her.

“I agree Monica is a good friend, but she can also be headstrong. They caused some trouble yesterday.”

I chuckle, “Our Peppa? Get into trouble? I don’t believe it.”

His hand reaches for my face and another smile appears, “I like that, our Peppa. And yes, believe it. She has been phoning private hospitals to see if you are there. They both drove to some today and could have been arrested because Monica lost her cool. She’s not giving up on you Noah.”

I lower my head back on his chest as I mutter, “I hope she never gives up on me.”

His arms come around me and we remain quiet for a while. It’s Juan that breaks the silence, “There’s something else you should know. Your parents have turned against Peppa.”

My head snaps up at this point, “What do you mean?”

He sighs, “Try not to get mad ok? They are blaming her, well and me, for your disappearance. They have noticed how close Peppa and I are and have decided that we wanted you out of the way so we could be together.”

Confusion crosses my face. “That’s fucking ridiculous. I need to phone them and stop this madness.”

“You can’t do that Noah.”

I open my mouth to tell him I bloody well can, but he goes on to say, “I’m not going to let them hurt her. They are your parents Noah, but I will step in if I have to.” I frown at him. “I will not hurt them. I may have to use some mind control to take their focus away from her.”

Even though I don’t like the thought of Juan messing with my parents’ minds, if it gets them to back off, then it needs to be done. “Anything else I need to know?”

He shifts his body and moves me so we are each on our sides facing each other. “Your sister is keeping in contact with Peppa and oh, we are famous.” He laughs when my eyes widen. “Someone took a photo of your car accident and it is on the front page of the local newspaper. It shows two people sitting in the car, you and me. But thankfully all you can see is two blurred figures. Cruz hit the roof because I wasn’t careful and it could have exposed us to the world.”

I don’t know what to say, so I close my eyes and remain quiet and get lost in my thoughts. I think of my family and how they must be feeling. Then I worry about my work. If I know my father, he will step in and take over. That’s what I’m hoping will happen. A thought comes to me and I blurt it out, “Do you think Peppa will ever change over?”

Juan shakes his head, “No, I tried to explain it to her but didn’t get the chance to go too deep into it. She couldn’t get her head around it. I believe she will take blood from us both so she can stay with us longer, but Noah, we have to be very careful, a drop of blood is all she needs. It does take a lot of blood for the change to happen as you know. We will both need to take her blood and she will need to take a drop of ours for us all to be fully Entwined.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier if she did change over? I can’t watch her grow old and die.”

“Noah, I’m sorry but that is her choice to make, one step at a time ok. We have to get her to understand this first.” I nod my head to let him know I get where he is coming from.

“I received your thoughts about your work situation. Do you think your father will step in and keep Devil Records running?”

“He has done so in the past when I have taken holidays, so he knows what to do. I believe he will. He has to really, I can’t lose my business Juan. It took me years to build it up.”

“I understand, maybe I can do something. Let me think on it.” I guess the worry shows on my face as he proceeds to say, “It's going to be hard Noah, but we adapt. That’s what we do best. I’m not going to let you lose anything.” His head moves closer and his lips find mine and what starts out as a soft sweet kiss soon turns into a lip sucking, tongue thrashing abuse of each other’s mouths.

My lust rises and I roll myself on top of Juan’s body, straddling him, holding his hands above his head. He opens his mouth to speak, but I grind myself onto his dick. He lets out a groan and his head is thrown back exposing his neck to me. My mouth waters and I directly aim for it, but I don’t bite. I suck and kiss my way up his jaw line and plunge my tongue right into his mouth. His hands find their way to the hem of my shirt and he pulls it over my head and I do the same to him. I come face to face with his snake tattoo and I leer at it. Juan laughs as he hears my thought:
I finally get to lick the snake.

His hips lift off the bed and he rubs himself against my hard dick, “I need you Noah. I want you naked and your tongue and mouth on every inch of my body.”

When someone I love asks me to get naked and wants me to use my tongue, I’m not going to say no. So, I rest back on my knees and undo my jeans and start taking them off and Juan does the same. His dick is rock hard and I take mine in my hand and stroke it up and down. I’m a little nervous as he watches me perform for him as I want to please him. He looks at me with heavy-lidded eyes and brings his own hand into play and starts to wank himself off. I let out a groan as I watch him as he turns me on more.

I lower my body and I rub our dicks together. I take his dick into my hand and wank us both off at the same time, which causes us both to groan. I can’t wait any longer, I need to know how he tastes, so I lower my head to his dick and I take one slow long lick from base to tip and take him fully into my mouth for a few sucks. I want to pay my homage to a part of his body I have fantasised about. I catch his eye as I stare up at him and I show him my most sexual grin. My tongue darts out to touch the end of the snake’s tail which wraps around his dick. My hands reach out to grasp his hips and I begin to lick, kiss and bite my way up his body. We both groan with pleasure as his hands pull me in closer to him and once again our dicks make contact.
