Rock the Viper (26 page)

When we make it to bed and I'm holding Peppa in my arms, I think about Juan and what he said to me. And I realized it felt right, there should be three of us in this bed right now and I couldn't wait till Juan joined us.

Chapter 26  (PEPPA)

If I smiled any more than I was, my face would split in two. I was getting weird looks from the students which made me smile even more. I woke tangled up in Noah's arms and he wouldn't let me go till he had his way with me again. I thought a shower and a cup of tea was a good way to start the day, but morning sex went to the top of my list. I was also smiling at the butterflies of excitement I was feeling of having Juan pick me up from work. I couldn't wait to see him but I also knew tonight was going to be hard for the both of us.

Noah popped in around lunch time. He didn't care that there was a line of people waiting to order a drink or food. He came behind the counter took me in his arms, bent my body over his arm and leaned down to steal a breath taking kiss from me. There was clapping and a few get a room comments aimed at us, but we ignored them.

He told me he was going to visit Lara at the hospital and his mum and dad would be there. He would go and eat with them after, so I could have some time alone with Juan. A few loud coughs and, “I have work to get back to”, rang out from the crowd standing there watching us. I blushed when Noah gave them another show of kissing the hell out of me. And blushed again as I watched his ass as he walked out the Café. I noticed a few others look too and the thought,
you can look all you want but he's mine
went through my head.

The afternoon went quickly and as soon as it was dark my eyes went to the door every five minutes waiting for Juan to walk through them. At 5 pm I told the remaining students they had half an hour left. I started to wipe tables down and lift chairs off the floor. I went behind the counter, turned everything off, made sure the back door was locked and made my way back to the front.

When I stepped out from the counter and looked over at the door, Juan was standing there. I was frozen to the spot when I looked him over. He was wearing a tight fitted black T-shirt with black skinny jeans, black biker boots, and his hair was tied back off his face. He looked so beautiful and even though I knew he was a vampire, it was the man that I saw, the man who made me shiver with pure sexual need, the man I loved. I wanted to run into his arms to say I was sorry for not seeing the real him, because standing here in this moment that was all I saw. I watched the smile spread across his face and then he started to move, he was coming for me and I have never wanted anything more in my life. I put my hand to my chest as I was fighting for breath. My body heat rose and then suddenly my eye line was torn from Juan as a figure stood in front of me.

“Omg! You're him aren't you? The one from Viper, you are sexier in real life. Omg! I can't believe it!”

I can't stop a giggle escaping from my mouth as the young lad in front of me jumps on Juan and hugs him. I look at Juan and giggle again as his facial expression is one of surprise and confusion.

The lad looks up at him, “Your music is awesome. Viper is awesome. Did I tell you how sexy you are?”

Juan looks at me for help but I'm standing there laughing. He mouths help to me and I try and get myself together as I walk over and tap the lad on the shoulder. He turns and looks at me.

“Do you have a phone? I'm sure Juan wouldn't mind taking a few photo's with you.”

He steps away from Juan and pulls his phone out of his pocket, “My friends are going to be so jealous.” He hands his phone to me, steps back into Juan and puts an arm around Juan’s waist. I take a few photos and when I'm finished, I watch the lad lick Juan's arm and Juan quickly steps away from him. I hand the phone back and quickly get the lad out of the door and lock it, but he didn't go without a struggle as he says, “But I wanted to talk about Viper and was hoping for a kiss.” I turned and rested against the door I had locked and looked over at Juan and we both started laughing.

Through laughter he says, “Well, that was a bit surreal.”

I nod, “Very, but he did get one thing right about you.”

Juan starts to walk over to me. “And what would that be Peppa?” He stands right in front of me, takes my hands and puts them around his neck.

I smile and say, “You are one very sexy man.” 

He lowers his head to mine and his lips are inches away from a kiss I know will melt me inside out. When he says, “I'm glad you think so, because this sexy man is all yours.” And he closes the gap and makes sure I know he is mine.

A flash goes off which temporary blinds me and then I hear a knock on the window and I turn to see the lad who I kicked out holding his phone up ready to take another photo. Juan moves away unlocks the door and turns his head back to me, “I will deal with him.” He walks out to talk to our peeping tom.

I quickly turn off the computers, grab my bag, turn off the lights and walk outside to lock up and Juan is standing there waiting for me. He takes my hand in his and we start to walk home. There is a comfortable silence between us and I start to think how much I will miss him when he goes on tour and how I will have to get used to men and women throwing themselves at him and even invading our private lives.

Juan suddenly stops me and turns me to look at him and I know he has listened to my thoughts as he says, “Peppa, I will do all I can to keep our live’s private if that’s what you want. I'm all for people knowing the truth from the beginning, then there is nothing for the vultures to find. Believe me when I say you and Noah are it for me. So yes, people can offer themselves to me, but this here.” He takes my hand and puts it over his dick. “Is your’s and Noah's. He leans down and softly kisses my lips then takes my hand and we start walking again. I will always have those thoughts but I believed in Juan and trusted his words.

When we get to Noah's, Juan heads for the basement, as I told him I needed to eat. I made a bowl of soup and ate as fast as I could. When I reached the top of the stairs that lead into the basement, I took a deep breath and prepared myself for hearing what Juan had to say.

As I sit next to him on the sofa and take a look around it feels so empty now since Juan, Cruz and Saul left. Juan takes my hand and kisses my palm. I turn my body to face him and give him a weak smile before I say, “I'm sorry.” He looks confused.

“It's me who should be sorry Peppa.” He takes my other hand and pulls me onto his lap. “I've had to hide what I am for a very long time. In the early days it was so much easier, but as the world has changed, we have had to adapt. With the films and books that have appeared, we started getting a following, but with that came the hunter's, so we’ve had to hide even more until now.”

I look up at him and see the sadness, “Until me?” He nods his head.

“You're my Entwined, along with Noah.” He lowers his head and kisses my cheek. “I'm so lucky to have you both, but with you both being human it scares me.” I open my mouth to say something but he carries on. “I know it's been hard on you to accept what I am, because when someone says the word vampire, your first thought is a blood sucking killer. That's not what I’m about Peppa, I swear to you I will never hurt you. It basically comes down to trust Peppa. It's a lot to ask for you to keep my secret and even more for you to accept me. I don't want you to see me as the monster the world has portrayed us to be. I know this relationship has happened fast and with it being a threesome and me being a vampire on top of that it's going to be hard at times but I truly love you Peppa.”

I try so hard to hold my emotions in, but a tear escapes. I lift my hand to his cheek and say, “Trust is a big thing for me, Juan, so yes, trying to get my head around this has been difficult. Love is a weird thing and I never thought in a million years that I could fall for the guy I have disliked since I was fourteen and then for a vampire rock star to take my heart and hold it in his hands and knowing he could destroy it at any time, scares the crap out of me. You do hold my heart Juan and I'm ready to trust you with it as you can trust me to keep you're secret. I accept you Juan. I accept that you’re a vampire, I accept the man I see sitting right here holding me and loving me as if his life depended on it.” I break down then and let the tears roll and Juan kisses them away.

When I regain my composure I ask him to explain the one thing that has been bothering me, “Will you explain the blood thing? I remember you saying my blood calls to you. What did you mean by that?”

He tilts my head so I'm looking right at him, “Your blood calls to me as it has to do with the Entwining. Drinking your blood is the last step for binding our souls together.”

I look at him and frown, “Will I need to drink your blood?”

He laughs “You don't have to, but our connection will be stronger if you do, and drinking it will mean you will live longer.”

“I don't understand. I won't become a vampire by drinking it will I?”

He laughs again, “No, for you to become a vampire. I would need to change you over, but I don't want you to think about that, that's something for the future. By drinking a small amount of my blood we will be able to feel each other’s emotions and we will be able to mind talk. Also, it can prolong your life span and make you healthier so you will be able to stay with me longer, if you choose not to be turned. Peppa, let's enjoy now before you even consider any of that.”

I lower my head and rest it on his chest. It is a lot to take in and I try and push the thoughts away as I'm not ready to deal with that right now. And he's right we should enjoy the now, but I would have to come back to the blood thing at some point. He tightens his hold on me and I snuggle into his body and I whisper, “I love you Juan.”

We sit there for a while holding each other when I look up at him and ask, “How old are you Juan? 

He moves so fast that I find myself suddenly on my back and he hovers over me, “I'm 213. I'm pretty young for a vampire.”

My eyes widen when I look at him, “Wow, 213! You must have seen so much in those years.”

He lowers himself onto me, “Yes I have, but they are nothing compared to the here and now.”

No other words are spoken as he takes my mouth with his and kisses me till I burn for him. My hands go under his T-shirt. I explore his back and then his chest. My thoughts turn to the snake that is imprinted on his body. He smiles into my lips, sits up and takes the shirt off. He pulls me back onto his lap. I look at the tattoo and back up to Juan's grinning face.

This is the moment I have fantasized about and I feel my arousal grow between my legs thinking about it. I push my body into his and place a kiss on his mouth. But I don't stay there, I move on to his jaw then his neck. I kiss and lick his Adam apple, which makes him groan and he opens his legs so I can slide my body down his. The tail of the snake goes into his jeans so I place a kiss where it disappears and then my tongue gets a taste of his skin. He throws his head back and groans again. I continue my journey of licking, biting and kissing my way up the snake. His hard on presses into my stomach and I get turned on by the thought of tasting that too. I make my way back down the snake, licking it all the way to get to my prize at the end.

I start to unbutton his jeans, but I'm stopped by Juan and then by the voice of Noah, “Fuck, tell me you didn't lick the snake? Shit I always miss out.”

I look at Juan and we both burst out laughing. I stand and Juan does too. He puts his top back on and walks over to Noah and whispers to him and I watch as Noah blushes. Noah looks at me and smiles, “Everything ok between you now?” 

Juan walks over to me and pulls me into his side. “We are all good, and I would like to invite you both to come to the house Thursday after work to stay the night. I want to be with you both before I leave to go on tour.” I blush then and look over at Noah who looks a bit gob smacked.

I look up at Juan feeling sad that it will be his last night before he leaves, so there's only one thing I can say, “I would love to.”

We both look over at Noah and he nods a yes. Juan moves my body to face him and gives me a quick hard kiss, “I should head back and get some practice in before Cruz has my head. I promised if he let me have tonight and Thursday with you I was all his tomorrow, no interruptions. But if you want to come over then do, Goodnight Peppa.” He kisses me again and then lets me go to walk over to Noah and drags him into his body and kisses him and says, “Same goes for you.” And then he's gone.

I walk over to Noah and playfully say, “How jealous are you that I licked his snake?” He laughs, takes my hand and we walk up stairs. As we reach the top, I turned to him. “How was Lara?” 

He shrugs, “As good as was expected. I have some things I want to discuss with you.”

I carry on walking to the lounge and he follows. I take a seat on the sofa and wait for him to join me. “Should I be worried?”

He shakes his head. “No, the police visited her today and she found out she wasn't the only woman Eric was involved with, he had a kid with another woman. She is totally devastated of course, and I hope this is what she needs to finally let go. I know you are angry at her and with every right but she's worried she has nowhere to go...”

I interrupt, “She can have the flat, I will sign it over to her and of course she will need to pay full rent and the bills. I can't go back there. I was hoping you would be ok with me staying on here or I can find somewhere else.”

I look over at Noah who is staring at me and I giggle, “You were expecting a fight again weren't you.”

He nods, “Yes I was, and Peppa, you're not going anywhere. You are staying here with me, so get the thought of looking elsewhere out of your head.” He takes my hand and pulls me onto his lap, “There is something else we need to talk about. She's going to need to work to pay the bills, I can buy her half of the Café, but I think it will be good for her to work.”

I sigh, “I'm not sure how I feel about that. Let me think about it ok? And Noah I want it in writing that I will be paying for half the bills and rent to stay here.”
