Just a Vampire [tribal Bonds 1] (13 page)

Rowan groaned as he lifted his hand to his aching head. He was sick and tired of being shot with a damn dart. It was becoming an alltoo-familiar habit lately. One he intended to break.

Rowan’s eyes flew open when he heard Luca’s voice. It was music to his ears. He was never so happy to hear that deep rasp before. And it wasn’t in his head. He opened his eyes to see Luca lying next to him.

Rowan.
“I am.” Rowan grinned as he snaked his hand over Luca’s chest.
What could be more restful than letting Luca fuck him back into
unconsciousness?
“You don’t look like you’re resting. You look like you want me to
fuck you.”
“You catch on quick,” Rowan said as he pushed the pajama
bottoms off that Luca must have dressed him in. His cock slapped his
lower stomach as Rowan grinned.
“Anamchara,” Luca warned, but Rowan could tell there was no
threat behind his warning. His eyes were blazing with desire, the need
swimming in Luca’s dark eyes.
Rowan turned over, settling between Luca’s legs as he licked his
lips. “I need some cock.”
Luca chuckled as he unsnapped his pants, pushing them down his
legs. Rowan moved aside, helping his mate get naked. He ran his
hands up Luca’s long, strong legs as he shivered.
Would he ever get enough of his vampire?
Hell, no.
Rowan pressed the palms of his hands into Luca’s muscular thighs
as he leaned forward, catching his mate’s cock between his lips. Now
this was a true homecoming gift. One he would always want to keep. “Ana–Ana…” Luca trailed off as his hips bucked, sending his
thick cock further down Rowan’s throat. Rowan opened his mouth
wider, accepting the girth as he let his tongue explore the length of his
mate’s shaft.
Luca’s fingers trailed under Rowan’s jaw and settled on his neck,
feeling Rowan’s muscles work as he sucked Luca off. Rowan began
to smile around Luca’s cock and then hummed, the vibrations making
Luca hiss.
“Rowan,” Luca moaned and then pulled his cock from between
Rowan’s lips, making him pout at the loss.
Rowan quickly gave Luca his ass when he saw his mate reaching
for the lube. If he couldn’t have Luca’s cock in his mouth, his ass was
just as good. Rowan’s shoulders hit the mattress when he felt Luca’s
fingers slide into his quivering hole. God, he had missed this. Once Luca had a third finger in Rowan’s ass, moving it around
easily, he pulled his hand away from Rowan and lubed his cock,
making it shine in the low lighting with slick.
Rowan’s heart rate picked up as Luca settled behind him, lining
his cock up and plunging deep.
“God, yes!”
Luca chuckled as a hand landed on Rowan’s hip. “You miss me?” “Hell, yes,” Rowan panted as he wiggled his ass. “Now fuck me.” “Such a potty mouth,” Luca said as he pulled back and then
slammed his cock into Rowan’s ass. Once again Rowan was
screaming like he was being murdered. His anamchara was very
vocal, so damn what? Luca seemed to like it, and that was all that
mattered to Rowan.
He shouted to the ceiling, the walls, and for anyone who may have
been listening. Rowan wanted the entire hotel to know just how well
Luca fucked him. How masterful he truly was.
Luca laughed as he reached over and grabbed a pillow, tossing it
toward Rowan’s head. “Everyone is going to think I’m killing you.” “Your point?” Rowan asked as he continued his vocal approval. Luca slammed harder into Rowan, making his voice ring out as
cum shot from his cock, bathing the bed below him.
“I’m going to make these damn walls soundproof.” Luca growled
as he hammered into Rowan’s sore ass.
Rowan hitched his hips higher as Luca stiffened and then shouted
his release.
“Looks like I’m not the only noisy one in this bed,” he teased as
Luca pulled his cock free and grabbed Rowan around his waist,
pulling him down onto the mattress.
“I may be just a vampire, but hearing you cry out as I fuck you is
the sweetest sound in the world,” Luca replied as he kissed Rowan’s
temple. “Just never stop, or I’ll think you don’t want me anymore.” Like that was going to happen in this lifetime. Not a chance. As
long as Luca fucked him like a god, Rowan would shout to the
heavens every single time.

“Ah, come on, Jackson, it’s just one little poker game.” “No,” Jackson growled. “Luca has banned you from playing poker for the next month, Rowan, and I will not go against the dictates of my electus.”
Rowan sighed deeply and rolled over on the floor. He was bored out of his ever-loving mind. Luca had been gone for three days for a conference with other electuses. He was supposed to be back by the end of the week. It couldn’t be soon enough for Rowan. He missed his mate something fierce.
And he couldn’t even go play poker to relieve his boredom. Not that it would do him any good if Luca hadn’t banned him from playing. After the last time, none of the vampires in the tribe would play cards with him. They ran away whenever he mentioned it.
“How about a run in the park?”
Rowan’s head snapped up. “A run in the park? Really?”
Jackson grinned as he pulled his phone out and started dialing. “Just let me call up your guard unit and we can go.”
Rowan rolled his eyes. He got it that he had to have an entire fucking army with him when he went outside, but it was his fucking park. Luca had given it to him. It wasn’t fair that he had to be guarded while he ran.
“Come on, let’s go. They’re waiting for us downstairs.”
Rowan rolled to his feet and stood up. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Jackson when he saw the little smirk on his face. “Watch it, fang boy. I still have claws.”
Jackson just chuckled. He was no longer afraid of guarding Rowan, or upset over it. He seemed to take his duty very seriously now. Saving Rowan from Darius had earned him the gratitude of not only Luca, but the entire tribe. Jackson was practically a hero now.
And that confused the shit out of Rowan.
“Jackson, everyone knows I’m a wolf now, right?”
“Oh yeah.” Jackson snickered.
Rowan frowned. That didn’t sound good. No one had been outright rude to Rowan, and even though several of the tribe members had become friendly, there was still some distance between Rowan and the rest of the tribe. Luca assured him that those lines would blur with time. Rowan wasn’t so sure. He would never not be a wolf.
“Then why are they so happy that you saved me from Darius?”
“Well, one, Darius was bad news. He wanted to take over the tribe, and he would have been a seriously fucked-up electus.”
“And two?” Rowan asked when Jackson didn’t expand on his explanation.
“And you are Luca’s anamchara.”
“And?” Rowan waved his hand in a circular motion. Damn, getting vampires to talk was like pulling teeth.
“You are his heart and soul, his other half. You make him a better person and a better electus. You give him a firm foundation to lead our people.” Jackson sighed deeply. “Before you, Luca was a good leader, but he was a little rough around the edges. Now, he is stronger because he has you at his side.”
“How so?” Rowan asked as they rode the elevator down to the first floor. “I would think I would make things more dangerous for him. Have you seen the amount of guards he sends me out with?”
“True.” Jackson chuckled. “But you also give him a reason to be stronger, to make sure that he has the strongest tribe possible. Fear of something happening to you gives him a reason to show others that he has no weaknesses.”
“That doesn’t sound right.”
“You didn’t see what he did to Darius, Rowan. I did. And in all of the years that I have known Luca, I have never seen him in that type of rage. Everyone now knows that Luca would move heaven and hell to keep you safe and he will take down anyone that harms you. The side effect of that is that he is making our tribe one of the strongest and safest tribes ever.”
Now that made sense. Sort of.
“Electus Everson called Luca earlier,” Jackson said. “Luca called to let me know what was going on.”
“What is going on?” Rowan arched an eyebrow in curiosity when Jackson just started laughing. “What’s so funny?”
“Electus Everson wanted to assure us that Carlton will no longer be an issue.”
“Oh?”
“He’s currently chained to Everson’s bed”—Jackson’s lips split into a large grin—“being taught how to be the anamchara of an electus.”
“Oh, damn.” Rowan remembered what was required as the anamchara of an electus. That wouldn’t go easy on the strong-willed alpha. Rowan’s eyes suddenly rounded as another thought hit him. “What about his pack?”
“Electus Everson has sent some of his men to take over the pack until such time as they can be integrated into his tribe. As Carlton is now his anamchara, leaving Everson’s side is not an option.”
“Can he do that?”
“Do what?”
“Combine a vampire tribe and a wolf pack?”
Jackson shrugged. “He’s doing it.”
“Wow.” Rowan was astonished. He guessed it made sense if Carlton was Everson’s anamchara. Everson would never give Carlton up, and it wasn’t like Carlton would voluntarily leave his pack. “Can you imagine what their claiming will be like? I wonder who will be on top.”
Jackson’s laughter filled the air. “I have no doubt that Alpha Carlton Gregory is about to find out what being a submissive is all about.”
Rowan grinned. “It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.”
Rowan ducked down and climbed into the back of the car when Jackson opened the door for him. Jackson climbed in a moment later. Rowan was excited about going for a run. He could feel the anxiousness start running along his nerves, making him antsy. He needed to run, to burn off his excess energy.
He was ready to pull off his clothes and shift by the time they reached his new forested park. Keeping the park was a stroke of genius on Luca’s part, even if the place was inside of Electus Everson’s normal territory. Safe passage to and from the park was part of the deal.
It took all of Rowan’s control to sit inside the car and wait for the park to be checked out before he was allowed out of the vehicle. It was all part of being the anamchara of the electus, but there were times like this when it drove Rowan crazy.
The moment Jackson nodded to him, Rowan stripped his clothes off and shifted. He jumped from the backseat of the car with a happy yip. He was off and running a second later.
The pounding of his paws on the moist dirt sent ventricles of delight racing through Rowan’s wolf. No one in his former pack had an entire park to themselves. Rowan knew he would eventually have to share his park with other wolves, maybe those who joined the tribe he was now a part of or maybe even Electus Everson’s tribe. He was okay with that. But for now, it was just his park.
Rowan ran and ran and ran. He could feel the wind blowing through his fur and the dirt squishing between his toes. He knew that several of the vampire guards surrounded him, keeping him safe. He didn’t care. For just a few minutes he could let everything go and just be a wolf.
As he ran around a group of trees, a heady scent suddenly filled Rowan’s senses. Rowan sniffed the air, drawing more of the luscious scent into his lungs. He howled and ran back toward the car as fast as his legs would carry him. He knew that scent. He wanted that scent.
His heart stuttered in his chest as he ran up over the top of a hill.
Luca.
He was back early.
The tall, handsome vampire stood with his arms crossed over his chest, leaning back against his limo. He was talking with Jackson, but his golden-amber eyes scanned the forest. Rowan knew Luca was looking for him and gave off a loud howl. Luca’s head snapped up. A large smile crossed his lips when he spotted Rowan.
Rowan ran right for Luca. At the last moment, he veered off and jumped through the open limo door, shifting as he landed on the seat. He could hear Luca’s quick inhale and knew the man had seen his naked ass.
The long groan that fell from Luca was all Rowan needed to ramp up the lust he had started to feel the second he spotted his mate. Rowan quickly grabbed the lube out of its secret compartment and turned over on his back. He flicked one of his claws out and cut a small line in his neck, right over the spot where Luca had first claimed him.
“Fuck, Rowan, you can’t do that,” Luca groaned as he climbed into the limo so fast that Rowan heard material rip and metal groan. “You know what your blood does to me, and it’s been days since I’ve tasted you. I’m just a vampire. I don’t have enough control to resist you.”
Rowan grinned, crooking his finger for Luca to come closer. He tilted his head back and bared his throat, groaning when he felt Luca’s body settle over his. His cock jerked and throbbed when Luca’s fangs sank into his throat. Rowan wrapped his arms around his mate and gloried in the feeling of giving Luca his life’s blood, of providing for his mate.
“You might be just a vampire,” Rowan whispered as he spread his legs and felt Luca settle between them. He could feel Luca’s need flowing through him, heightening his own. “But you’re my vampire.”
