Part 10 (2/2)

Liza had not wanted to leave Lucian's side, but she needed to finish this. This vampire, covered in an aura so dark she was feeling sick just being near him, had to die. She drew her swords using them to cut off the dress, which almost broke her heart but she couldn't fight in a ball gown. Then she saved Dominick from a nasty severed limb before taking over the fight with Morvan and his two Lieutenants.

”Now” She roared She moved with all the speed she was capable of, concentrating on removing the two Lieutenants who were tethered to Morvan, healing him when he was injured. She heard Lucian roar for them to stop fighting her slayers and protect her, she smiled. She concentrated on one of the demons while still fending off Morvan and the other lieutenant. She made quick work of beheading the first one, and was gleeful when she heard Morvan's roar of rage.

”What's the matter Morvan? Did I break your dark bond?” She asked laughing wickedly.

”You will pay for that human. You dare to attack me here in front of the vampires. They will kill you.” He growled, angrily.

”No they won't Morvan. Even in your culture attempting to kill your king is punishable by death. Of course, if you actually managed to kill him then you could be King, but you I am not sad to say will be dead before that can happen. Your dark Jinn will be captured and you will die. So it's a win, win for me.” Liza told him still only fending off his blows and moving after the other lieutenant.

Suddenly she felt the power shoved at her through the bond. Lucian was trying to open the bond so he could send her more power. She pushed it back barely dodging a blow from the lieutenant she was fighting. d.a.m.n it. This was distracting her.

Stop, heal.

Take what I am willing to give you, kitten. Your mine. I will help you in any way I am able. If this is all you will allow then it is what I will give. Came his gruff reply I love you too, Lucian. But right now it is distracting me. I am not used to you sharing your strength and it's distracting.

She barely caught the blade coming towards her with her own. It sliced across her face.

”Liza” Lucian roared.

Sighing, she sent him a.s.surance. I'm fine, my love. Relax.

Fine, be careful. We have a lot to talk about. I a.s.sume this is what Vladimir really wanted you to tell me. We will be having that conversation. Do not think dying will get you out of it.

Laughing, she swung at the second lieutenant taking his head.

Fine, let me work. I have an evil vampire to kill. Now, stop distracting me.

She cheekily told him. She felt the light tap of his hand on her a.s.s, which startled her. Making her laugh again. Only then she was too aware of the vampire charging at her in rage. She had broken the dark spell by killing his lieutenants. Morvan was enraged, and although he was enraged he still did not become sloppy. He was still really good. A few thousand years of experience would do that.

Liza was driven back in seconds. She panted, getting tired. He was d.a.m.ned good. She just had to find the weakness. She continued to fight watching for the opening. Only she was surprised by his turning to smoke and coming up behind her. Vampires couldn't carry solid mater with them when they did that, but he had. That was when she realized it was a ruse. s.h.i.+t, she thought turning just in time to stop his blow. Only she tripped over the fallen lieutenant, falling to her back. She caught his sword in the cross of her own blades, but his blade inched towards her neck as he pushed more of his weight down on it.

She saw Lucian and Dominick try to come to her aid. Mina attempted to blink, but Morvan had created some type of barrier that stopped them all. She looked at Lucian. Her heart in her throat. She knew what she had to do now would either save her, or get her killed. Opening the bond completely she whispered to her lover.

I love you, if I die lead my people. They will need you. Jayne and Mina can help.

No, Liza. You cannot! He roared inside her head.

To Mina and Jayne she sent her last request. Protect my mate.

She heard their screams of denial, but cut off the bond she needed to finish this. Using every bit of strength inside her, she thrust her swords upward towards him. He was so sure that he had defeated her that he was not prepared for the force of her shove. He stumbled back a step, and she brought both swords out slicing his throat in two places. He went down, screaming out his rage as he fell to the ground. He was bleeding out, his dark spell fell and the barrier was gone. She put her swords away, and Lucian had scooped her into his arms.

She looked up at him reaching to touch his face she whispered. ”I lov-” before darkness claimed her.

Chapter 21.

Liza awakened slowly. She felt rather than saw Lucian near her. She had allowed the bond free she remembered in the last few moments of that fight with Morvan. She had known that it would only be seconds after that move that she would pa.s.s out. She had gambled and from the anger she felt from Lucian he was not happy about that.

Indeed, I am not.

Lucian's response made her s.h.i.+ver slightly, rage filling every word. She sighed, looking at him hovering over her on the bed. She could feel him settle on her his leg slipping between hers. She realized something else as she lay there beneath him. He had stripped her.

I bathed you too.

”How long was I out?” She asked aloud, not wanting to augured with him in her head.

”Two days.” He growled, before his mouth crashed down on hers. His hands were suddenly everywhere all at once. Making her moan. Her hands rose to his shoulders holding onto him. His tongue tangled with hers, his hands sliding around to cup her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

Mine.

He thought, caressing her. She moaned as his mouth moved down her neck seeking her breast. His mouth enclosed her nipple making her cry out in pleasure. He sucked hard, his mouth pulling at her tight peak. She arched towards him her hands sliding down his shoulders to his chest. She brushed his nipples, feeling the almost visceral reaction he had to her hands sliding over his body.

It was almost unbearable that every caress was felt as an echo. Each time she moved her hands on him or he moved his on her, the sensations echoed making them both almost mindless with the need filling them. So this was what enticed vampires to mate, she thought.

His seeking mouth found her other breast and she lost track of her thoughts. His hard member caressed her wet curls. She felt his tip at her entrance. She mewled with pleasure and he surged inside, making them both cry out. She wondered if anyone had ever died from too much pleasure. His body moving inside her with their bond open was like nirvana. It was such an intense pleasure that she could not see how it would get any better.

He pulled back looking into her eyes. ”Never again, promise me that you will never do that again.” He demanded.

She shook her head, wrapping her legs around him. Needing him to move faster inside her welcoming body. He knew and picked up his pace. Then slowed as she neared her o.r.g.a.s.m.

”Please...” She begged.

”No, promise.” He demanded. Still moving but not nearly fast enough. She growled in displeasure. She bit his shoulder, hard. Drawing blood. Which made him roar and pick up the pace his own mouth biting down on her shoulder. A frenzy of need filled them both making him move inside her with furious hard strokes that quickly brought her to a roaring climax. He collapsed seconds later onto the bed next to her, after his own climax.

He moved slow separating their bodies after a few moments. Pulling her to him tightly.

”You have to promise. I cannot bear to lose you.” He whispered into her hair. She sighed, looking at him.

”I will promise to be careful, but I can't promise not to fight again, Lucian. It is necessary to the whole world's survival.” Liza looked at him in anguish. She wanted to give him anything that would make him happy, but she couldn't promise never to fight another dangerous demon coated in darkness.

I liked it better when I thought you were human, and needed protection from the world, kitten. He whispered to her intimately.

I know. She whispered back.

”I also know that this is who I am. I am a slayer. I was trained from the time I was one till now. I am a slayer. I am the last of the first slayers line.”

”You are connected to them all. I can feel them through the bond too you know.” He informed her.

”Yes,” She held her breath hoping he would not reject her because of that bond.
