A/N: I don't own anything in the world/s of Christine Feehan and don't presume to. I got the chant for the Lifemate thing from the graphic novel 'Dark Hunger', not aware if it's shorter than in the novels or not, all mt copies mysteriously vanished a few apartment moves ago. Favorite chapter.
Dark Curiosity
Cole inhaled sharply as the soil parted away. He shook his head on instinct even though Leodan wasn't allowing a single particle to cling where it did not belong as they both stood to greet the growing night. Both Kail and Jenelle had already risen, Leodan had kept both him and Cole down to rest for a bit longer so his Lifemate could rise without distractions.
Tonight would be the most important between them. Leodan stroked Cole's face, willing away the tension he knew was growing in the other's gut. Their bond would be completed, Cole would be his and he would be forever in the blond's service. Always.
Leodan knew the house was empty and heavily guarded with enchantments placed by his hunting companions. They were probably not far off, guarding the area but giving them both space to enjoy their moment. He would have to thank them all for this gift of acceptance when time allowed.
But now?
He pulled Cole closer, the fingers of one hand threading through short blond hair. It wasn't hard to feel the uncertainty flared with the undercurrent of desire. His poor Lifemate, so afraid of this unknown, but wanting it all the same.
You fear again.
“I can't help it.” Cole buried his face in the other's chest as they stood barefoot in the dark basement on top of one of the three smaller and shallower 'plots' in the cement floor that were provided for guests of any kind. Across the large room was a bigger one that was deeper with ornate carvings along it's edge. The place where Kail and Jenelle had rested through the day.
Don't be afraid my Heart. We are meant for this. To be together. He tipped Cole's face up to meet his and offered a charming smile, one he hadn't been capable of in over two centuries. “And I will never hurt you.”
Cole sort of nodded and let himself be led out of the basement. In the kitchen they found a note laying innocently on the table.
The script was delicate and light, speaking of Jenelle's soft hand. It only had a few words written on it, but they were more than enough.
Last bedroom upstairs. Enjoy.
The blond felt his heart try to beat it's way out of his chest. Was this real?
Leodan only smiled and lifted Cole's hand to kiss the knuckles. My Heart, it is more than time. When we are truly one, you will understand. Our life together may know trials, but I will never regret you. He tugged on the other's hand and led him up the stairs, one slow step at a time. He could afford to be gentle and take their time. They were safe and watched over, he trusted his hunting partners and his brother.
At the door Cole stalled once but was again pulled close to the black-haired man. Leodan gently kissed over his face, reassuring him with soft words even as he tipped the waiting door open to allow them in.
Jenelle seemed to have gone to what lengths she could to prepare the space. Bottles of warm oils were on the nightstand, ready and waiting. The sheets on the bed were clean and soft, lit up by the dozen or so candles that sat burning along the walls. They filled the room with the warm scent of melting wax that would not overwhelm or distract.
Cole jumped slightly when the door clicked shut behind him and inhaled a little too sharply as strong hands landed on his shoulders to try and comfort him. A part of him knew he shouldn't be nervous, Leodan had never harmed him and he was keenly aware that the other man would never go out of his way to try and cause him injury. But still that anxiety lingered.
I have heard, the actual conversion, may hurt. Leodan turned them so they were facing each other again. You are on the edge, it will not take much, and I will be at your side until it is over.. only then will I join us together.
“What do you mean 'hurt'?” And here he'd just put himself at ease about Leodan never hurting him..
“When your blood has changed completely your body will not be able to tolerate the toxins you've ingested over your life. They must be expelled.” Leodan's hands tried to convey comfort when they tingled with other desires. “Don't be afraid.”
“You keep telling me that.” His voice was wary, that urge to run was building again.
“And you continue to not listen.” The taller man removed his shirt before he bent and kissed the other's soft lips, welcoming the taste of his beloved to help stave off the rage of need that was simmering deep inside. He heard keenly the steady beat of the blond's heart and let his mouth trail down to his neck, holding him closely as Cole's body relaxed against his will.
Smaller hands tightened on his arms as his fangs found soft flesh. A groan left the Carpathian as he again tasted his Lifemate's sweet blood, it wouldn't take much. He would quickly replace the few mouthfuls he took. But still, the sense on his tongue set him on fire.
He gently withdrew, still holding Cole as he tilted the man's head back, noting a slightly dazed look in those green eyes. With one single move he drew a line of blood across his chest. A gesture he had dreamed of making for so long that when it finally came he was almost unable to contain himself.
A hand led Cole to the new wound and he felt blood in his mouth. He lapped gently as it was offered, unable to fully explain the taste. It went on for several more seconds before his stomach cramped painfully and he tensed in Leodan's arms.
Don't fight it, it will pass. He was torn in his feelings, knowing all too well he had caused his Lifemate's pain. But it was necessary, he had to remember that.
Cole felt a painful burning spread out along his limbs, like something was being torn from every cell of his body. He didn't like this.. this wasn't part of the agreement.. His fingers twisted harder against Leodan't skin and a hurt sound left his throat as the fire raced along every nerve, picking up every last unnecessary particle and rushing it away in a hissing mist along his skin.
When it finally began to recede he was aware of cloth sliding off his skin, exposing his back and chest to the warm room. He was covered in sweat, and Leodan was using his shirt to wipe the fleeing remains of his old life from his body.
Oh god.. he could smell him.. the thick and purely masculine scent of the man who was tending to him so carefully.
I claim you as my Lifemate..
Leodan dropped the useless cloth and let his hands find Cole's skin again. His mind beginning the words needed to bind them at the deepest level.
I belong to you..
He did not relent his hold and pressed the blond toward the bed with steady footsteps feeling their desires grow stronger as the seconds passed.
I offer my life for you..
They found a kiss as the bed hit the back of Cole's legs, making him feel weak. Hands stroked down his back and all he could do was try to keep from passing out.
I give you my protection, my allegiance, my heart, my soul..
The touches grew bolder, mapping the smaller body with each stroke and pulling forth such lovely, barely contained shivers of pleasure.
And my body.
The kiss grew deeper and passion began to flare hotter from the earlier sparks. It was difficult to keep track of who's hands were now where.
I take into my keeping the same that is yours.
Leodan finally began to lower Cole to bed, breaking the kiss and letting his hands wander to the front of the smaller man's pants. He undid the button with the sound of a sharp inhale, he wasn't sure from which one of them.
Your life, happiness and welfare will be cherished and placed above my own for all time.
The taller man bent and lovingly kissed Cole's stomach, feeling soft fingers thread into his hair.
You are my Lifemate, bound to me for all eternity.
Cole was finally exposed to him, he slid the rest of that troublesome article of clothing away, leaving the blond naked under him. He still had no practice at pleasuring a male, but he had heard enough over his life about what a woman might be expected to do for her man. It seemed a little appropriate that he try it from that angle before delving into the recent knowledge he'd gained from that book.
Strong hands held his hips and the blond couldn't bear to open his eyes. Then he hissed as a wet heat trailed over his arousal. He felt his toes curl and stuttered out a cry as the sensation continued and Leodan gently used his mouth to explore him. It was so good it hurt and still the taller man continued, licking, inhaling, nibbling and breathing hotly on too sensitive skin. He seemed to be enjoying himself, reveling in the intimate taste as Cole's excitement grew.
Delicate fingers twisted in long hair and he felt like his whole body was going to fall apart. Wait.. not yet.. I'm.. I'm going to.. But Leodan didn't wait and didn't seem to care as he stopped playing around to finally take Cole completely into his mouth. Had he been a lesser sort of man he might have choked on the resulting orgasm, but instead he merely took it in stride, enjoying this new musky taste of his beloved.
Absolutely wonderful. Leodan lifted up with a deviant smile and regarded the body under him. Cole was panting but ultimately the most relaxed he'd ever seen the man. He received a garbled slur of thoughts in reply as the blond tried to right his mind.
It was quite a boost to his pride..
Now to go further and use that wonderful information he'd been able to glean from before. The black-haired man wished he had the book to consult again but, alas, it could not be. The precious tome was left behind so as not to draw attention to it's existence and his short comings when it came to his Light's pleasures.
Leodan reached to the nightstand for one of the bottles, it was scented lightly with a warm spice that offered comfort and added to the relaxed moment. One hand led down to Cole's hip, then up along his outer thigh to lift that leg at the knee to give him room. It seemed strange in a way, that a man's body could accommodate another this way and still deliver pleasure to both parties. He didn't understand it fully, but the mechanics fit their needs and Cole did not seem opposed to accepting him this way. Especially since his eyes had cleared again and he was now giving Leodan access to his body.
Warm oil spread over his fingers and he replaced the bottle before lowering his hand to stroke at the only entrance Cole's body afforded him. As the blond shifted in anticipation he pushed forward, following half-glimpsed advice that 'stretching' would help and could also be considered wonderful foreplay. Now.. about how to achieve both..
Cole twisted a bit at the new intrusion, finding it difficult to draw breath repeatedly. They were really going to do it, he felt like he'd been waiting for years for this. And then suddenly his thoughts were wiped clean as Leodan's fingers brushed delicately over a bright spot of pleasure. He felt his hips struggle to buck under a restraining hand and allowed himself to whine in frustration as the sensation didn't continue.
Of course it was the wicked chuckle from the taller man that got him the most. He was being played with and experimented on. And enjoying every second of it.. but he still wanted more.
Oh, you will have more. The fingers withdrew, cleaned off with a folded piece of white cloth next to the bottles. That hand then reached down and undid the front of his own pants, letting the last barrier fall away to the floor.
For a moment, Cole looked away, flushing brighter. Leodan was.. how to put this delicately? He was much.. much.. much larger than he had first thought. It wasn't truly a daunting size but his only comparison had been when he was as a young teen with another boy at his own age. Certainly not a full grown man..
A deep growl escaped Leodan and he pressed himself possessively against the smaller male, pinning him roughly. “I told you never to think of that..” he said, grinding them together to erase those images from his Lifemate's mind. He felt the thoughts dissolve in Cole's head and the blond reacted with a pleasured cry.. partially at the physical sensations.. mostly at the sheer dominance of the move.
Feeling those thoughts fading from his Lifemate's mind in the face of other pleasures, Leodan lifted enough to retrieve the bottle. There was more to do, more to enjoy..
Wait.. can I? Cole was moving with a little more clarity again and his hands were gently trying to pry the bottle from Leodan. It came loose with an appreciative sound from the bigger man and Cole quickly slicked a hand with the oil, flushing nervously as he set the bottle out of the way.
Then his hand reached down and he put his forehead to the other's shoulder. The back of his hand slid down Leodan's stomach and finally his fingers brushed against his hardness. He kissed the skin in front of him and felt arms slid solidly around him as wrapped those curious fingers around the prize he'd found and stroked.
Eventually another hand reach down and ended the quiet exploration. Need, pure and raw, was lit up in Leodan's eyes as he pinned the previously enjoyable hand above his head against the mattress. The other slid down Cole's body, pulling forth delicious shivers and sounds, to lift his leg back into a more accommodating position.
The shorter man's breath caught in his throat as the other's heat pressed at him, finally sliding in thick and hard. His back arched a bit, exposing his neck. He felt Leodan immediately take advantage of this, scraping fangs against flesh as he buried himself deeper. It hurt, twinging uncomfortably for a moment before their hips shifted, sending a blinding pleasure up his spine.
Quickly it all dissolved, leaving very few things for Cole to be aware of. His sight dimmed making the rush of their panting loud in his ears, along with the frantic beat of his own heart as the pace increased. One hand wrapped it's way long hair while the other scraped nails over skin in a desperate attempt to have something to hold onto to keep from falling. And then there was the pressure on his mind, the forceful and dominating presence of what he knew was the demon inside Leodan, reaching out, consuming those few frail thoughts of other men. It wouldn't allow them anymore..
And he couldn't think to hold onto them. Leo.. Their thrusts became rough, his body fighting to keep up but unable to find the exact friction needed. Oh.. please.. Leo..! A growl thundered out of the other, vibrating against his skin.. he was so close. Something hot wrapped around his own arousal and his eyes snapped open even though he could no longer make sense of the images in front of him. A scream ripped out of Cole's throat and darkness crashed..
