Forced Affection

‘Where are we going?’ I finally mumble. I was afraid of Leo’s response.
‘We are going to my apartment-Lucas will go to see Craig. I’m going to drop you off and then go to the house to calm the old man down’ Leo says in his bored tone-which I knew he was only using to try and cover up his fear.
‘How long will you be?’ I asked as I grabbed the door handle for my life as he took a corner too fast-but still he made it look easy. I guess that was a perk to having super human reflexes.
‘I don’t know, however long it takes to deal with Craig enough so he doesn’t want you killed’ Leo replied not even glancing at me.
‘Great so I guess this is goodbye forever’ I mutter under my breath. Leo chuckled to himself.
‘Really Cortez? I can hear you, so please stop mumbling under your breath’ he smiled as he spoke to me.
‘Will I be safe by myself here?’ I ask as Leo pulls into the car park and kills the engine.
‘Of course, besides Drew is on his way’ Leo says as Drew pulls up on Leo’s red Ducati next to us.
‘Oh, I’m being babysat’ I sigh as I walk towards the elevator.
‘I’m going to check the block, check word on the street and get some food. I’ll be back in 15 for the baby sitting duties’ Drew replied smirking as he walked the opposite direction from the elevator. Leo shook his head, mumbled something in audible under his breath and followed me.
‘Well?’ he asked me as we got in the elevator and he pressed the top floor. We weren’t stopping in for mail this time.
‘Well what?’ I asked as I leant on the wall.
‘Anything you want to say to me’ he asked me standing on the other side of the elevator.
‘They’re dead. I helped stop the rebellion and now my brother can wake up’ I whispered wishing he couldn’t hear me.
‘I want this kept the biggest secret ever. I want none of it linked back to you or me’ Leo replied ignoring the emotion in my voice as he went all business like on me.
‘Yeah wouldn’t want it getting back to us so close to your birthday’ I mutter as I emphasis on ‘us’ but still focus on the buttons on the elevator and not look at him.
‘Exactly Cortez. That is the only thing I care about after all’ Leo snaps as the elevator doors opened and he made his way straight out to the door and opened his apartment. I followed him silently, not daring to sigh or even breathe for that matter.
‘You need to breathe’ he snapped walking away from me. I took a deep breath and walk over to the balcony. I stare out into the night sky and wished I felt differently. I thought killing the ones responsible would make me feel better. Apparently it doesn’t.
I thought telling Leo I love him would make it easier for us-it didn’t. There was still the thought of everything this marriage was supposed to be for. I was to marry him before his birthday-which was a month away. I was to be part of him getting his full power. I was to help him destroy the world we knew.
I was suppose to kill the man I love.
I lean my forehead on the cold window and think about everything. The cold window was inviting and I just wished I could run. I wanted to get away from everything-but knew I couldn’t, not now. I was too far in.
The wedding would be soon. I knew my mother and Arianna had already planned most of it. They had organised nearly everything. All I needed was to get my dress fitted-I didn’t even bother choosing one; my mother did. I hadn’t planned anything and I knew that this time in 3 weeks I would be Mrs. Hallie Parker. I felt sick.
That was all Leo needed to gain control. The sickness increased and a wave of nausea hit me.
‘You know, not everything is about my birthday. There isn’t a time line of BB-before birthday and AB after birthday. Nothing will change’ Leo snaps at me as he walks into the room and glares at me. The nausea is over powering. I turn and run out of the room, I push past Leo and race to the toilet.
‘Hallie’ Leo calls after me as I reach the toilet and vomit in the porcelain bowl. I kneel on the ground in front of the toilet and dry reach again-the nausea feeling is still there and I can’t get rid of it. I was helping to destroy the world.
‘What’s wrong?’ Leo gasps as he pulls the hair back from my face and looks at me sitting on the floor.
‘What’s wrong? Really? Are you fucking serious Leo? What isn’t wrong? Everything is fucking wrong’ I can’t help but cry as the nausea feeling is back and I lean over the toilet bowl and vomit up what feels like the last of the contents in my stomach.
‘Hallie, I love you’ Leo says as if it is suppose to make everything better.
‘So, love doesn’t fucking conquer all. It hasn’t changed anything at all’ I cry as I try to stand up and fall immediately. Leo grabs me and holds me.
‘You’re wrong. Love has changed everything’ he says to me. I shake my head in disagreement.
‘No it hasn’t, one of our destinies is still going to come true. You either die or get all your powers’ I say coldly as I stare at Leo with no emotion in my expression. I push Leo off me and walk to the basin. I grab the spare tooth brush and brush my teeth wanting to get the sick taste out of my mouth.
‘You’re still wrong. Neither is going to happen like that. I’m not planning on ruining the world Hallie’ Leo said shocked at me.
‘You can’t lie to me Parker. My love for you doesn’t make a difference. You still want the power’ I say as I leave the bathroom and walk out into the lounge hoping Drew would hurry up and arrive so Leo would leave.
‘I might want power but I need you’ Leo whispers behind me. I shiver because I know how close he is behind me.
‘Please don’t. You can’t promise me you won’t change when you get the power’ I say not looking at him.
‘Why not?’ Leo questions as I feel his hand move to my arm, I could also hear the anger in his voice.
Before I could respond I hear the door open and close as Drew walks in. Clearly our discussion has finished.
‘Nobody knows anything. I think you should get to your old man before he kills Lucas though’ Drew says as he makes himself comfortable on the couch and turns on the television.
‘I will’ Leo says as he brushes past me and goes to the door.
‘Do you want anything?’ he asks me bored as he reaches the door.
‘Just some clothes’ I reply coldly as I stare at him. There was no way my love for him could change what he wanted and what he was going after.
Leo didn’t say anything he just glanced at Drew nodded and left. I sighed and hit the table. Apparently Leo had it replaced since the last time I was here.
‘Want anything?’ Drew said indicating to the food.
‘No. I’m going to bed’ I say as I turn and make my way to Leo’s room.
I walk in and I’m met by an overwhelming smell of Leo. This room was a perfect fit for him and it felt more like home for me than anywhere else in the world. I sighed and felt a tear run down my face. Why was this so hard?
I walked over to the bed and began removing my clothes. I was down to my underwear and bras. I turned around walked to the dresser and opened a draw to find an old black singlet of Leo’s. I didn’t hesitate as I removed my bra and put it on over top of my bare skin. Making my way to the bed I climbed in Leo’s normal side and made myself comfortable, before crying myself to sleep.

The door slammed closed and I awoke to the bang. I opened my eyes to see all the lights turned off and Leo walking from the door towards the bed. I could tell he didn’t care about the noise and my sleep was clearly the last thing on his mind. He took off his shirt and threw it to the dresser. He flung his shoes off and one hit the dresser the other hit the wall. He shook his head as he took off his watch and slammed it down on the bench. I sighed and tried to keep my heart rate normal-I didn’t want him to know I was awake. I heard the bedroom door open.
‘I’m taking your bike, bring it back tomorrow’ Drew said to Leo.
‘Whatever’ Leo said bored and pissed off. Drew closed the door silently and Leo walked to the bathroom. I heard something smash and him swear. I closed my eyes. It must not have gone well. I heard the tap running and could see him walk back out to the bedroom. He dropped his pants to stand there in just boxer shorts, brushing his teeth. His phone began to ring. I heard him sigh as he left it to ring and walk back to the bathroom. He walked back out turning off the light and closing the door. His phone began to ring again. He picked it up and checked the caller.
‘Fuck off’ he snapped as he put the phone down and made it to the side of the bed. He sat on the other side and I now regretted taking his side of his bed. Sure I had wanted to piss him off before, but now I wish I hadn’t. The phone sat on the bedside table and it was silent. Leo sighed and grabbed the pillow that was sitting there he picked it up and threw it. Ok sure it was soft and only a pillow but I knew it wasn’t a good sign. The phone began to ring again. I heard Leo growl but nonetheless pick it up.
‘You made it clear I had no authority anymore. Deal with it yourself’ Leo snapped as he didn’t bother waiting for a response. He closed the phone and threw it at the wall. This was not good. The phone was clearly broken, I wish I could just fall back to sleep but I was too afraid to leave Leo like this. But I didn’t want to deal with him directly. He stood up and punched the dresser. I heard the draw crack and I knew it had broken.
‘You done?’ I couldn’t help but ask as I rolled over to look at him.
‘Wondered how fucking long it would take for you to open your mouth’ Leo snapped with his back still facing me.
‘And I wonder how long this temper tantrum will last?’ I mutter as I sit up. I knew I was playing with fire.
‘Fuck you Cortez’ he snaps as I see him hold too tightly onto the frame of the dresser. It naturally begins to crumble under his strength.
‘Oh stop it’ I say as I crawl over to the side of the bed closer to him.
‘You know how I said I would warn you every fucking time I wanted to kill you’ Leo snapped as I stood behind him. I felt my heart rate increase. I knew I could put up a good fight-but I wouldn’t win.
‘Vaguely’ I reply begin a smartarse trying to relax my heart rate.
‘Yeah well this is it. I’m telling you Hallie fuck off’ Leo snapped as he turned around and glared at me.
‘Oh wow. You’re serious. Guess it didn’t go well with daddy’ I mock. I couldn’t help it. I was angry as well and I wanted to yell at him-but most of all I wanted to see how far I could push him-I didn’t think he would hurt me.
‘I’m warning you, drop it’ he snarled at me. I had never seen him look so angry and I couldn’t help but be turned on by it. I knew it was the inappropriate response-I should have been scared. But I was far from it.
‘Why? Let me guess, daddy yelled at you. He is upset and disappointed’ I tried as I got closer to him. He closed his eyes and I knew he was going to break at any moment.
‘Oh it was the disappointment. That’s what hurt the most didn’t it. Oh poor baby’ I continue to mock as I pout in front of him. He took a deep breath.
‘Hallie. Stop it’ Leo snarled as he grabbed my arm and pushed me out of the way.
‘Oh Parker, I didn’t realise it hurt so much. Are you sure you are going to be ok? Should I ring Drew-get your boyfriend back here?’ I shout at him as he walks towards the door. I couldn’t let him leave. He would cause more trouble if he left this house, hell even if he left this room.
‘Weak!’ I yell after him. I take a step towards the bed and knew that was enough. In a split second I was pushed up against the glass door that led to the balcony.
‘Got your attention’ I mumble as Leo snarls at me and I begin to generally fear for my life-now I’m thinking I would be safer back with Drachen.
Leo takes a deep breath and opens his mouth but doesn’t say anything. He closes it and then growls ‘I’m not weak’ he snaps.
‘Love fucked you up good’ I mutter as I lean closer and I can feel his grip getting tighter around my arms. Yep this was it. Leo glared at me but didn’t say anything. I smirked and knew I had the upper hand. It was my turn. I leant up and kissed him.
It was unspoken. Nothing had to be said. Leo let go of my arms and pushed me up against the window. It was hectic, my heart was racing and forced up against the cold window. He didn’t bother saying anything or hesitating. I could tell it was the anger and adrenaline that was the desire behind his moment. I was being fuelled by lust and nothing more. In a moment I pulled back to breath Leo pulled the singlet off of me. He pushed me back up against the window as his lips came crashing down on me. I could feel his fangs brush against my lips and I knew he was more than excited.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. With one move he placed his hand under my bum and pulled me up onto him. My legs wrapped around his groin and I could feel him getting harder. My bare boobs and erect nipples rubbed against his chest. His spare hand was behind my neck as he held my entire weight effortlessly. He led a row of kisses from my lip to my chest. With a kiss on the boob I sighed and moaned pushing my body closer to him.
He knew this was it. I felt him grow hard on my leg. It was bigger than I expected-I mean I had heard of the stories and knew about the rumours but I thought that’s all they were-rumours.
Leo pulled me away from the window and carried me to the bed, still wrapped around his waist. He placed me down on the bed and let go of me. Pulling off my underwear he dropped them onto the floor. He kissed my foot and led a trail of kisses up to my very much naked region that was not use to this attention. I took a deep breath and held my breath. With a kiss on the inside of my thigh I moaned and arched my back. Smirking, Leo looked up at me and pulled off his own boxers. Climbing above me I felt it hit my leg but was too nervous to pay too much attention to it.
‘Breathe’ Leo muttered into my ear as he kissed my neck. His hot breath on my neck sent a shiver down my spine and I felt his lips smirk. With one hand he caressed my left boob and played with my nipple. I finally let go of the breath and arched my back closer to him as I bite my lip.
With one glance down I felt the knob of his erect penis touch my entrance. I bite my lip as he slowly pushed into me. I gasped out loud and cringed. Leo smirked and kissed my neck again. My hands went to his back and I felt my finger nails dig into his skin. I arched my back and felt my boobs rub against him. He pushed further into me and I moaned, it was a very tight fit and I knew he wasn’t all the way in.
‘Oh god’ I moan.
‘Leo will be fine’ Leo mutters as he pulls out of me and pushes back in slowly. I smile to myself and realise I would have to choose my words more carefully. He thrusts into me again and I know he went further I let out a small cry of pain and he kisses me. I feel both his arms wrap around me as he thrusts again. I moan and know the pain was being over powered by the pleasure. Again he thrust and I bite my lip.
‘Breathe’ Leo whispers in my ear as I realise I was holding my breath. I smirk and begin to breathe easier.
‘Faster’ I mutter as Leo thrusts again, he doesn’t listen to me. He doesn’t go any faster, he just keeps it slowly going at a steady rhythmic pattern.
‘Leo’ I moan as he pushes into me again, further. I knew that was all the way in. I felt his thighs up against mine and he began to thrust in and out, keeping it at a slow but a steady rate. I moan again and grind my hips up against him.
He pulls me closer and kisses me on the lips. Faster he begins to thrust. I take a deep breath and hold it. I arch my back and bite my lip. The pleasure was over powering and I knew I was getting treated well. Leo thrust harder and I moaned, remembering I had to breathe. His breathing got faster as he quickened the pace.
I moaned and leant up to him I kissed him and wrapped one leg around him as the pleasure was at an all time high. Leo moaned and and kissed my neck.
‘Fuck’ he muttered as he moved faster.
‘Harder’ I managed to moan as he thrust into me over and over again. I arched my back and grinded against him.
‘Oh god’ I moaned louder than I realised.
Leo was going faster and harder, his mouth kissing my shoulder but I knew he was getting ready to blow.
‘Fuck’ he grunted again as he kept thrusting getting faster.
‘Oh god’ I almost shout with an almighty thrust. Moving my hips I knew it wasn’t long until I was going to have my first orgasm from sex.
‘OHHH...’ I began as Leo covered my mouth and I realised I had been saying god-which was probably hurting him a fair bit.
‘FUCK’ I moan loudly as Leo kisses down on my shoulder and I feel his teeth graze my bare skin. I trusted him and knew he wouldn’t bite. I arch my back into him from complete and utter pleasure ecstasy. I feel him blow and thrust into me a couple more times.
I moan so loudly and take a deep breath as we both fall onto the bed. Covered in sweat I had no idea how much of a workout it had been for us, well for me-I knew it had been for him.
Leo’s body was still on top of me as he took a deep breath and kissed my shoulder. I finally had enough energy to move.
‘God’ I moan as he pulls out of me.
‘You have got to learn a new word’ he mutters ‘If he knew what you were doing before marriage you’d be screwed’ Leo says as he rolls over and lies next to me. Entirely naked I didn’t even worry lying next to him. He gently rubbed my stomach and kissed me on the lips.
‘Whatever, what about you?’ I smile as I look up at him and his kisses me on the forehead.
‘Please, I’m already going to hell’ he says as he smiles at me. It was his joking smile he tried to use but it was the serious I’m already fucked smile that he couldn’t hide from me.
I didn’t know what to say and knew that if I had the energy I would have initiated round 2 to stop him from feeling bad but already I was beginning to hurt. First time kills.
‘I have scratch marks down my back’ he mutters as he rolls onto his stomach and lies flat.
‘Wow, you do. Whoops-I um got a bit carried away’ I smile as I run my finger along the scratch marks and kiss his back. ‘Doubt it is your worst sexually induced injury though’ I joke as I lay my head on his back. Ok there might have been a hint of sarcasm.
‘You’re wrong. It is. Do you have any idea how gentle I had to be for you?’ he questioned as he rolled onto his back and moved up the bed to lie on the pillow. He pulled me up next to him as I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead.
I didn’t have to say anything, I knew how much he would of had to control his lust and hold back-even in the moment of extacsy. I could handle a lot, but that was not something-a vampire caught up on lust could have been much worse for me. I guess I should be happy this was our first time and Leo was the perfect gentleman (in a way). I smiled to myself as I moved closer to him. All previous emotions of anger forgotten, the fact I was nearly killed today forgotten and the want to find out what happened with his father was also forgotten to the best of my ability.
‘I’m the only one you have ever been with. And I will keep it that way. You’re mine. I love you’ he said as he pulled me closer.
‘I love you too’ I say as I kiss his chest and drift into an exhausted sleep. I’d be happy to keep it that way forever as well was my last thought but refused to speak it. I was scared, already I’d given so much of myself to Leo, I couldn’t face to tell him that I would be with him forever and even if that meant destroying the world, because I love him-more than anything else. And that itself was the devil’s curse.
