Occult section - Private
Simon pulled open the door to the Nachton city's library entrance and shook off the light snow that was falling outside. At around 2am, their city library was probably the only one its size that was open 24 hours a day.
He ran his fingers through his hair and stomped his feet on the floor mat. The snow had just started coming down in Nachton. Winter had given Fall the boot and dusted the city with its white fluffiness. It made the night brighter, as if almost daylight.
He bypassed the main floor and climbed the spiral staircase to the floors above. References, periodicals....occult. Reaching the next landing he walked off towards the section littered with goth looking children. The book stacks were centered around a computer bay filled with brand new Imacs in different colors. He walked past them and towards the back, to the famed occult section.
Simon passed more darkly dressed teenagers with dyed black hair, but none looked up at him. How ironic, he thought. They were searching for that night life, the cursed vampire and they only had to look up to see one pass by. He grabbed a random book from a high shelf and kept walking. He cradled it as he strolled to the very back towards the private booths. They were lined up for private research, none too private but sound proof. Stopping in the middle, Simon walked down towards the right, looking in.
Each room had interesting occupants. Two dark haired boys bent over a large book. The next had a red head older woman reading a romance novel hidden within the old testament. The next he slowed down and leaned against the window.
[Knock knock.]
The sole occupant looked up. Simon smiled softly at the little blonde reading her very large black book. She lifted her hand and crooked her finger at him, beckoning him in.
He was more than happy to oblige.
She just wanted to fuck him retarded, but she was willing to hold off for the sake of love.
He opened the door and quietly sat down across from her at the rounded corner, ergonomically sound table. She leaned in close and rested her chin on her hands.
[So, me, you and a sound proof room.] Carol wiggled her eyebrows at him.
[In my time women usually let me make the first move.]
Simon gave her a full grin. God he adored this woman already. How could he have missed seeing her these past three years. He reached out and moved her hair out of her eyes, running a finger over her blushed cheekbone. He tucked his hand under her chin and pulled a hand back. He slowly laced his fingers with hers without breaking eye contact.
He smelled like sandalwood almost. A rough, musky smell, probably from the snow outside. She looked him over, his slightly wet hair sticking up in places to his mouth which was nestled softly in a happy grin, back up to his hazel eyes. Carol sighed softly at the look he was giving her. She could die right now and be alright with it.
[Are you waiting to make your first move on me, Simon?]
He considered her question and kept his gaze with her blue eyes.
[Only all my life, Carol.]
If stolen moments were all they could have, he could live with that now. He waited this long, he could wait a little longer.
In the quiet recesses of her mind, she whispered, 'I love this man'. Pulling back, she cupped his face with her hands. She rubbed her nose softly against his.
[You're killing me, Smalls. Make a move already before I eat you alive.]
If he lived a thousand more lifetimes, he would never forget this moment. He watched her open her mouth and her tongue darted out to lick her rose colored lips. He felt her breasts press against him as she sighed deeply. He pulled her closer, wanting to feel every inch of her body against him. But when she whispered quietly in his head and rubbed that nose against his, he became undone.
His fingers gripped her clothes as he closed the gap between then. Carol's fingers dug into his hair as they pressed their lips together. Their tongues wasted no time discovering each other and their first kiss after the train yard was electric. He could not get enough of her lips. Bringing his right hand up her back, he pulled her even closer, devouring her lips.
He brought his left hand up and cupped her face, putting an agressive spin on their kiss. There was nothing polite about this kiss. It was a repressed kiss. A 'haven't eaten in weeks' kiss. Toe curling, bottom lip sucking, wet and deep tongue kiss. There were laws against this kiss.
Simon leaned into her now, almost pushing her back against the table when suddenly Carol moaned softly into their kiss.
The moment his tongue dipped into her mouth, she lost all thought, sensibility and damn near her motor functions. The want in his kiss was tangible. She could taste the desire on his lips and it burned like fire. His hand came up and tangled itself into her hair, keeping her lips close, barely giving her time to breath. When she did, she let loose a soft moan which seemed to put him over the edge where she had gone just a moment before.
Carol tried to focus. They were in a sound proof room with a large picture window for anyone to come by and seem them. At least, that was the thought she was trying to form when he stood up with her.
Suddenly she was against the wall and being pressed deeply into it by Simon. She wrapped a petite leg around his and grabbed him around the neck, holding onto dear life. Not that she needed to, he held her easily up and could for hours. He pushed her dress up, just high enough to be able to plant himself in between her legs as he reached around and cupped her ass. Carol reached down and grabbed the lapels of his jacket and pulled him foward.
Suddenly her tongue raked across a fang and her world split into a thousand pieces.
[Simon...Simon, Simon, Simon.] Her mind moaned to him. [Do it, Simon. Please.]
Simon really did want to talk to her, to get to know her better. To maybe discuss books but taking her in the sound proof reading room had just suddenly interjected itself into his plan. He felt her tongue touch his fang and he felt that tell tale niggling in the back of his mind, forcing its way to the surface.
She asked him to. Hell, she begged him to bite her. He pulled his lips away and left a trail of wet kisses down her throat. His fangs started to throb almost painfully when she begged him please to do it.
He dropped her. Not totally, but he set her down on her feet and did something so painful and so difficult, that he was surprise he actually managed to do it.
Simon pulled away from her, looking down at the ground and taking three steps back.
'Carol,' he said out loud. 'I...can't.' He rubbed the back of his neck slowly and then looked up at her.
She really didn't. He was a vampire. They bite.
'I thought...'. Oh hell, what did she think?
Carol straightened her dress and then leaned up against the wall. He stood there, looking pained again. A drastic difference from the man who was kissing her senseless a few moments ago.
So, he didn't want to bite her. Why? This meant he wouldn't be feeding from her at all. No familiar bond, but then they already have a bond. The emotional, spirtual one that some vampires get.
[Well Simon, please tell me why.]
He closed the gap and leaned against the wall next to her, looking down at her. 'I can't because I love you.' He shrugged, not sure how to explain it. 'The urge was there, of course, but Carol I don't want you tethered by that kind of control.'
Quietly he added, [If you're with me, it's because you love me, not because you're wallowing in the euphora of being bitten. You were Ellis familiar, but I don't see you that way. You're the woman I love, a human companion.]
He looked up at her and smirked. Grinning, she nudged him.
[I understand Simon. That means more to me than you realize and I'm alright with it, but if you NEED me,] she shrugged, [I'm here.]
She reached up and caressed his cheek softly. He leaned into it again and closed his eyes. 'Ok you've ruined the hot, sexual moment with love.' She stepped into his arms and laughed into his chest. She turned and looked out the window. Caution crept back into their world and they looked at each other briefly.
[Should probably keep it on the up and up now, ya think? Or maybe we can go somewhere else?]
Simon opened the door for her and they walked out of the sound proof room.
