(3rd person P.O.V)
“Erika!” Vanessa tackled her to the floor sobbing. It had been four days since Erika came back, and so far she had made a splendid recovery.
“V-Vanessa?”
“Oh, Erika! I thought you had died! How horrible! When we all heard the news we all came rushing over here as quickly as we could!” Erika sweatdropped at her friend.
“Vanessa I’m alright. Trust me, you can ask Logan.” Logan’s friends had come over with their brides to see how Erika was doing.
“Troublesome woman insisted on coming to see you, Erika, I couldn’t hold her back.” Vanessa glared at her mate and stuck out her tongue.
“Oh shut up Shika-kun! I was very worried about Erika! Anyways, the girls and I are here to steal you away for a bit.” At the word “steal” Logan tensed and traced behind his mate. “Oh come one Logan, a little girl talk isn’t gonna hurt her! Besides, she could use a break from you! I heard she hasn’t been alone for a second without you following behind her.”
“Haha! Come on teme! Michale and Dustin came to spar with us! Let’s leave the women here to talk about hair...and uh...nail polish and...umm the different shades of gray, I think there’s fifty of them.” Michale hit Jay upside the head.
“Moron.” Logan looked at Erika.
“I’ll be fine Logan-Kun, I’m with the girls.” She gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
“If you need anything love, just call me, I’ll be able to hear you.” He kissed Erika on the forehead and left with Jay and the others. It was just the four women alone in the lounge, resting on the comfortable pillows and sofas.
“So Erika, are you ready for the week of the red moon? It’s almost here,” Said Jessica.
“Red moon? You mean the week where I’ll be changed and claimed?”
“Yup! Knowing Logan, he’ll probably pounce you the first few minutes when the moon turns up!”
“Pounce me?” Vanessa and Jessica’s jaws dropped.
“You mean you don’t know?” Erika gave them a blank look. “Oh my gosh! We have to get you filled in pronto! You too Synthai since the red moon also affects Jay.” Synthia and Erika sat together looking at the other two.
“Well for starters, the red moon tends to have a certain effect on males. It sends their instincts on overdrive with lust and hormones making them want their mate. For us women, it has a different effect. It just enhances certain things like a scent, blood taste, skin texture is smoother, and we’re super fertile. So basically to our mates, we’re a walking piece of estrogen that can get preggo.” Jessica began to nod with everything Vanessa was saying.
“The guys will not, I repeat will NOT let you out of their sights for even a second. They will have a limitless supply of stamina and their only food will be from your neck. I’m not saying you’ll be at it for the full week nonstop, he will let you rest, but more than likely you won’t be out of the bedroom for that whole week. When Michale and I first experienced it, let me tell you, it was amazing! I mean yeah it was tiring, but man!” Jessica fanned herself.
“A heads up, Logan and Jay will probably let their instincts take over, so be ready to see full red eyes, long fangs, wings, the full nine yards. The worst thing you can do during this week, is touch, see, be seen, or talk to another male. Remember, their instincts are fully on at this point, and will see any other male as a threat and probably kill them. But like Jessica Said you probably won’t be outta the bedroom.“Erika and Synthai were blushing tomatoes at this point.
“Oh and don’t worry about them not satisfying you. They will come through! Yes, maybe they’ll be rough at first, but then they take things on the gentle side and treat you like a sex goddess.” Vanessa sighed. “I’m looking forward to it. Erika blushed. She was already comfortable with Logan, and she knew she belonged to him. She smiled. On the week of the red moon, she will show her Logan just how much she belongs to him and him only.
Everything Vanessa and Jessica had told Erika sank in. The girls had left hours ago with the guys and Logan got called along with Alex to go handle some paperwork with their father. Before he left, Logan made her promise him that she wouldn’t wander around the mansion and get herself in trouble. He left her with a passionate sweet kiss on the lips. Erika decided to visit the mansion’s library where she found a comfy sofa to sit in.
She twirled a piece of her pink hair between her fingers. The red moon was only a couple of days away. Five to be exact. According to Vanessa and Jessica, Logan and the others would become 6 ft. demonic lusty six-packed gorgeous Adonis males. Males who would rip the head off of any guy who would so much as glance at them. Erika squeezed her legs tighter to her chest. She had never seen him kill before, she didn’t want to. Erika had already seen the wreckage he had done in his room when he thought she had been dead. There was blood everywhere.
“Logan can be sweet...but there’s this whole other side of him that’s...primal, animalistic.” She closed her eyes. Deep down she knew he was a vampire, a person whose life depended on blood to survive. She knew that side of him would come out when it came time to claim her. Would he hurt her? Would he be patient enough with her? She was pure and untouched. She loved him, she knew that much and was more than willing to become completely. But there was still part of her that was... Erika shook her head.
“No, no matter what, Logan would never hurt me intentionally. He loves me...” She knew how Logan felt. He had shown her already with the way he treated her. She wanted to ask him about his feelings just to hear them for herself, but she never got the courage to. She felt that if she did, it would feel like a stab in his chest for doubting him. Erika sighed, getting tired of the thoughts in her head. “What should I do now?” Her eyes began to wander. Logan’s family was wealthy. The library was proof of that.
Large marble shelves were built right into the walls carrying thousands of books. They could be accessed by a cherry wood spiral staircase. Erika loved books. Growing up as a slave, books and reading material was a luxury. Anko would sometimes manage to get her hands on reading material and Erika would secretly take it to her cot to read.
“Anko...” Erika missed her friend. Anko was more than that, she practically raised Erika. She smiled as she remembered how much Anko loved sweet dumplings. They were given for dinner sometimes as a dessert. Erika felt a tear fall. “What am I getting sad about? Anko is fine. She’s probably laughing away eating her sweets...” She shook the tears away. She figured since she was there she might as well read something interesting right?
She grabbed a bunch of random books off the shelf and set them on a table next to her. She went through the titles, deciding which one seemed more interesting to read.
“Let’s see...Alice in the Country of Hearts? That seems good to read before bed. Hmm, what else? 50 Shades of Grey...?” She opened the cover and browsed a few pages. Erika’s eyes went wide and she blushed. “Why on earth would this be in such a lavish library?!” Erika felt the room heat up and shoved her red face in her hands. Peeking through her fingers she read the book a bit more. Looking around to see if anyone was looking, she carefully put the book under the Alice one. “It wouldn’t hurt to get a few pointers...right?
“Pervert...”
“Be quiet.” She tended to show up at the most awkward times.
“S&M pervert.”
“I’m tuning you out now.” Erika sighed, tucking the book good beneath the other one."I wonder if there’s one called ‘Sex With Vampires’. She giggled at her little joke, too distracted to notice the door open. Erika felt arms wrap around her waist behind her.
“I don’t think there’s a book called ‘Sex With Vampires’,” fangs nibbled her ears, “but if you need a preview of what’s to come in five days, I’d be more than willing to volunteer...“She felt soft kisses trail down her neck and a tongue lightly trace her pulse.
“S-Logan?” Erika felt her body become jelly in his arms.
“You’re annoying,” he whispered huskily in her ear.
“H-huh?”
“You were on my mind all day. It’s annoying how much you make me miss you.” He continued to trail kisses up and down her neck. “You have no idea how distracted I was because of you.” His kisses went to her collar bone. “It’s your fault, Erika, why I’m like this. I can’t stand the thought of being away from you. I can’t stand the thought of you going somewhere without me.” Erika leaned her back to his chest to give him more room. He gave a low growl, meaning he was pleased.
“I-I didn’t go anywhere, I’ I was j-just...just...just...”
“Just...?” His breath was hot on her neck. Erika closed her eyes tight as his hands went up and down her sides. Her breathing got heavier and she forgot how to finish the sentence. Logan’s fangs ached to sink into her neck and taste her cherry wine blood. His inner demon was roaring for him to take her and mark her neck. “Just what Erika...?”
She gulped. She hated his little teasing games.
“Just reading...Logan...” He stopped as her sweet voice Said his name. She had never said his name in such a wanting sexy
tone before. The very sound made his length ache. He traced her up against the wall and kissed her savagely. Her arms wrapped around his neck as his hands hoisted her legs around his waist. His fang nibbled her bottom lip, releasing a bead of blood that he sucked away. He ground his hips into hers.
“Logan.” There was that tone again. He did something he had never done before. He lifted her shirt without thinking and kissed her through the outside of her bra. Erika gasped she-she felt the cotton material lift from her skin and Logan kissed the top of her covered breasts. He looked at her, she noticed his eyes had gone red. Part of his demon had emerged.
“Erika...can I?” He wanted to take off her bra. His red eyes pierced her green ones. Part of her was against this embarrassing exposure to a man, but the other part Said this was a vampire who loved her and wanted to admire her. Plus, she didn’t think it was a wise idea to deny him with those mesmerizing eyes. Erika nodded.
Logan reached behind her to undo the clasps. He pulled the straps down her arms and let the bra fall to the floor. On instinct, Erika covered herself with her arms, her face flushing. Logan growled and pinned her arms above her head. He gazed at her perfectly round breasts. His mouth ached to latch on to one of her rosy nipples. Erika felt his gaze.
“You’re perfect. Too perfect for me. And you’re all mine...” Logan pressed kisses from her neck down to her left breast.
“You’re so beautiful Erika, you drive me mad at how beautiful you are.” He took in her nipple and began to suck lightly.
“Mmm, what did I do to deserve you?”
“Logan!” He smirked as he released her with a pop!
“Hn. I’m beginning to recognize that tone.” His mouth went back onto her breast and his hand massaged the other one. He squeezed her nipple between his thumb and forefinger. She squeezed her legs tighter around him, his arousal pressing against her. Erika brought his face to hers and kissed him. She unwrapped her legs from his waist to turn them around so he was against the wall.
“It’s not fair to be the only one in control Logan,” she thought. Erika still kissing him, trailed her hands down south to his thighs, his kisses getting harsher. She slowly moved upwards, her hand rubbing over his length. Logan let out a hiss as he closed his eyes tight. She pressed her breasts against his chest. It took everything in him not to rip off her clothes completely and take her over and over again.
“Logan!” It was Alex and Logan ignored him. He was probably gonna call him to say that his father needed him again. He didn’t want to leave his mate. Especially not for more paperwork. He began massaging her breasts again and kissing her neck.
“Mmmm...S-Logan, that sounds like you brother.”
“Ignore him,” he demanded.
“Logan, father needs us to continue with the meeting!” Erika knew it must be important. She sighed and pulled away. Logan growled at her slight distance and turned her around against the wall.
“I’m not leaving you again Erika, I’ve already met with my father and Alexander.” He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. She broke free from the kiss.
“Y-yes I know, but what if it’s important?”
“Screw them.” It was really hard to listen to reason while his hands were all over her. Erika knew she had to get him to listen. With a bit of strength, she pushed him away, grabbed her bra and shirt, and ran to the other side of the room, leaving a more than unhappy Logan. He traced to her in an instant. “Do you want me to leave?” He put his hands on her waist. She looked away in embarrassment.
“Well, no-”
“Then I’m staying with you.” He began to kiss her again. She grabbed his face in her hands and gave him a gentle kiss.
“Listen, Logan, I don’t want you to leave,” she hugged him and buried her face in his chest, “but I think your dad and Alex need you.” He smiled at her selflessness. He kissed the top of her head.
“Are you sure love?” He ran his hands up and down her smooth back. She sighed in comfort. She didn’t want him to leave. Not after what just happened.
“I’ll be fine Logan-Kun. I’ll just be here reading, I won’t go anywhere.” Her stomach growled and her face flushed. “Well, except maybe the kitchen.” Logan chuckled.
“Fine. Go get something to eat and come back here or to our room. I don’t want you wandering around, especially since you always seem to put yourself in some kind of danger when I’m not around.” Erika smiled. She thought it was sweet how he worried. Telling her where to go and where to be on the other hand, wasn’t so great for her. He helped her put on her bra and shirt. “I’ll be back in a while.” He kissed the top of her head and traced away.
“Wait...was he still...in the mood?” Erika just stood there dumbfounded.
Logan traced to Alex who did a double-take on his little brother’s appearance. His clothes were wrinkled, his hair was messy, and he dared not to look below the waist but it didn’t take him long to realize he was walking a bit strange.
“Hn, problem brother? Did I interrupt you and your mate on some pre-red moon activities?” Logan glared at his brother.
“Fuck off.” Alex chuckled.
“Foolish little brother. Father didn’t need us, I just can’t risk you losing control and hurting your mate before the claiming. Besides, I can’t have you getting any action when I’m not.” Alex laughed to himself. Logan was gonna be pissed...(Okay, Alexz is pure evil! XD)
Back at the library, Erika was munching on some cookies, pacing around the library admiring the selection of books. Now and then her mind would go back to earlier making her flush red at her actions. She put her hands to her face.
“What was I doing back there?! I-I was moaning, and biting and, and, I let him see me shirtless!” Without realizing it, Erika backed up to the marble shelf, knocking down a few books. “Great Erika, look what your panicky emotions did.” She began picking up the books but stopped when one caught her eye.
