134 Cravings

Yurik's POV:

I laid down in a large bed, looking up at the ceiling as I curled up in my fuzzy pajamas and flipped my hair out of my face. "You can sleep there tonight. I'll sleep on the couch," my uncle said calmly, looking at me from where he stood near one of his little dragon's nests where she was resting. "Don't leave this room, no matter what," he warned and then walked over to the couch, laying down on it then shut his eyes. I frowned and glanced at him then sighed. Why did my mother send me here of all places? He's so irresponsible and he hangs out with naked men. I didn't need to meet him. I closed my eyes and curled up to the pillow before I shifted uneasily, rubbing where that naked guy bit me. It felt so strange... but so good at the same time. I hid my face into the pillow and hugged it tightly before I opened my eyes and sat up slowly, looking towards the door. Maybe I can get answers out of him if I go down there.... He might tell me why he did that to me. I bit my bottom lip nervously then looked over at my uncle, seeing he was practically almost knocked out. I got up and walked over slowly, sneaking my hand into his pocket where his keys were and then managed to slip them out as he shifted away from me and groaned. I pulled back quickly, holding the keys so they wouldn't jingle then sighed in relief as I saw him still sleeping. I snuck over to the door then left, going to the nearby elevators and found the button for the floor that Caspian was on and hit it.

I walked up to the door that hid him behind it and fiddled with the keys, looking for the one my uncle had used earlier and tsked before I tried a few keys.

"You're not Dmitri," I heard a girl say as she walked up. "Who are you?" I tensed and looked towards her.

"Uhhhhmmmm.... I'm Yurik," I told her and then bit my bottom lip. "I'm Dmitri's nephew."

"What're you doing?" She asked me quickly and crossed her arms. "Behind that door is a rare species that doesn't need to be bothered by anyone but your Uncle until it's sold." I frowned at her. Sold?

"You mean Caspian? I want to ask him some questions," I told her quickly and looked her over. "I was down here earlier with my uncle. He said something funny to me." She nodded as she looked me over.

"It's about time for his medication, you should wait until he takes it unless you want to end up dead or worse." She walked up to me and looked me over. "What did he tell you?"

"Uhmm..." I frowned at her. "Who are you?" I asked her quickly, starting to get uneasy with her being so close to me.

"Vikkie. I'm an assistant of your Uncle's. You look clueless of what's going on. Has Dmitri told you anything about what's happening here?"

"No, not really. I think he mentioned something to Caspian about being bought," I muttered and looked her over. "Why are you medicating him? Is he sick or something? You should really put some clothes on him or something." She laughed then.

"Alright..." She motioned for me to follow her. "Come this way and we'll sit down and I'll tell you a few things about your Uncle's line of work and what it all means, especially for Caspian. By the time I get done, they'll be down to give him his meds. We have enough time." She lead me around the corner to a sitting area where she sat down on a couch and crossed her legs. I frowned and sat down across from her then.

"So... is this supposed to be some sort of buying and selling place? Like... you sell people?" I asked and looked her over, shifting in my seat. He did mention that Caspian would be bought by somebody....

"Yes. This is a resistance post. Your Uncle runs it. We collect species and sell them off. This floor is made specifically to hold the rarest species. He has two months to sell Caspian. In the meantime, he'll do paperwork on him, prepare him, and make him known to buys before auctioning him off on a specific date he sets. He'll do this with sub species as well that are on other floors. He has one month for them. I'm an assistant that helps to make sure he meets his quota." I frowned at her then.

"Isn't it wrong to sell people?" I asked her quickly, looking her over. "That's horrible."

"We're part of the resistance darling. It's not wrong in our eyes. Your Uncle doesn't see it as wrong either. Pretty soon, the resistance will take over anyways. Silas has already gotten to the top of the resistance. I'm sure he'll kill off the bloody council and begin setting rules of his own to go along with what the resistance wants. Soon.... it won't be wrong to anyone. I heard he's been persuading his family." I frowned at her and then looked away.

"I want to see Caspian," I muttered to her. "He has questions to answer for me." I reached my hand up to where he had bit me earlier then rubbed it a bit.

"I told you, you have to wait. I don't want you to get hurt. Your uncle would never forgive me if I allowed it." The elevator dinged and opened before I heard someone rolling a cart out along with three other different footsteps from people coming towards the door. She stood up and looked me over.

"I think you should sit here for this." She started around the corner then. I frowned and got up quickly.

"Why's there a cart? He doesn't have to take that much, does he?" I asked her worriedly.

"Yes," she told me. "He's a big fish." She walked up to the guys waiting calmly. She looked me over. "Wait where I told you to." I caught a few needles lying on the cart. I frowned then and looked at the needles then at her.

"What kind of medications?" I asked her suspiciously, getting a bad feeling about the whole thing.

"Well," she sighed out. "Caspian is in his mating season," she told me as she walked up. The guys in lab coats looked annoyed then by the chit chat. "He's got to take meds to keep himself calmed down. He also has a lot of... anger.... issues right now and we're giving him meds to help calm him down.... then there are a few more to help him adjust to his new surroundings. After all... we took him from an ecosystem into a non-existing one where he's trapped in a small space of water. There's a couple of more meds but you don't need to know anymore." I frowned at her and shook my head.

"I want to talk to him beforehand. It's really important," I told her quickly. "I don't want him loopy on drugs when I try to talk to him. He needs a clear mind for it."

"He's not clear though. He's mad right now and he won't be himself because he'll be horny and other things- desperate for open water and moonlight. Besides.... Leeches are dusk beings. They don't stay awake forever. They only stay up between the early hours of dusk and then they're terribly tired for the rest of the time. He's going to be tired to go along with the rest of his urges." I shook my head again.

"No, I have to talk to him first," I told her and frowned. "He said something to me, and I want to know what he meant. It's important! Please? I will be fine."

"I really insist you don't go in there until we take care of him... but if it's truly important and you're absolutely it can't wait and risks your life, then we'll let you ask him with the door open... but you can't cross over into the room and if he comes after you- us- we'll have to take action and you can forget about asking him before we drug him." I bit my bottom lip and looked her over before I nodded and pulled out my keys, heading towards the room again.

"Okay," I mumbled to her. This can't be right, drugging him like that.... I messed with the keys before I got up to the door and started to try them out again till I found the right one and got the door open, peering inside. "Caspian," I called hesitantly, looking towards the tub. "Don't get up. I wanted to ask you a few questions, and this woman said she'll drug you if you get up." Caspian raised up from the water to look towards the door. His skin had turned a gray color and his eyes was pitch black. He looked us over before raising up a little in the water but froze as he looked at a doctor. I could hear one taking out a weapon. I widened my eyes and looked towards them before I went in quickly and slammed the door shut. WHAT THE HELL?! I thought they were just going to give him some meds! What's up with the weapon?! I locked it quickly and pushed my body weight up against the door as my heart raced in my chest.

"NO! Someone call Dmitri now!" I heard Vikkie yelling as she slammed her first up against the door. "Open this door now," she hissed. Caspian chuckled darkly as he looked me over and reached out for me.

"Come here," he ordered. I frowned his way.

"No way. You'll pull me into the water again," I told him then looked back towards the door. "Do they hurt you?" I asked him quickly, a bit worried. "They had a weapon...."

"No, they don't hurt me. They're more afraid I'll hurt them." He made a motion with his hand for me to come closer. I frowned at him then.

"Why'd they have a weapon then?" I asked him and relaxed slightly. He looked at me with a pissed look.

"Don't ask me to waste my breath. You should know." He leaned against the tub then before getting out quickly and started for me. I yelped and looked at him with wide eyes.

"H-hey," I whispered then frowned. "Stay over there," I told him quickly.

"No," he told me as he walked up. My eyes wondered downwards subconsciously to his aroused manhood. "I won't. If you won't come to me then I have to come to you." I widened my eyes slightly and quickly pulled my gaze up nervously before I started to unlock the door.

"My uncle told you no," I whispered and tensed.

"Why would we listen to him?" He asked and moved quickly to be in front of me and grabbed the key from my hand, breaking it. I widened my eyes then backed up against the door in fear, freaking out.

"Why'd you break the key?! That was how I get out!"

"So you'd have no where to go from me," he husked out before grabbing my shirt and ripped it straight off of me. "I've been waiting for this." I yelped then quickly slipped past him, making a break for it.

"That was my shirt!" I told him and blushed, rushing to the other side of the tub to put it between us. He followed after me and pushed me into the tub before I could get around it. He got in with me and grabbed my pants, shoving them down with my boxers.

"You don't need it." I widened my eyes then quickly yanked my boxers back up.

"You're not supposed to be doing that," I told him quickly and frowned. "Friends don't do that."

"It's ok. We're more than friends. You're my mate now. You're going to take me throughout my mating season and then some. You're going to be aquatic soon too."

"What?" I asked him quickly and held onto my boxers incase he went for them again. "I'm not like you. I'm a land vampire. I don't even swim."

"You will now," he purred out in amusement and leaned in, stealing a kiss from me. I felt my lips tingle as his hands ran across my sides and pulled me to where he quickly turned me around and he trailed kisses down to my neck in the process. He grabbed my hands and placed them against the side of the tub. "Hold that," he purred into my ear. I blushed and squirmed in the water, letting go of the sides of the tub then moved away from him.

"Why did my lips tingle?" I asked him quickly and rubbed my lips as I turned to face him in the tub. "You stole my first kiss!" I frowned at him as I looked him over.

"I just told you, you're my mate. That means you're going to be tuned into every contact of our skin and then some. You'll crave me soon if you don't tend to my needs right away... and trust me.... you don't want to face the craving."

"C-craving?" I asked him and bit my bottom lip, sinking into the water a little in nervousness. "What needs?"

"Sexual," he purred. "Don't you understand?" I blushed and then shrunk down into the water a little more.

"W-well... I've never had... sex... and mom told me that I should only do that if I found someone I'm going to spend the rest of my life with," I murmured and looked away from him shyly.

"That's a terrible thing for her to tell you. If you only had one person then you wouldn't know if you sucked or not." He chuckled and closed the distance between us as his fingers ripped my boxers off. I yelped then quickly sat on the edge of the tub to get away from him.

"Hey! I'm not going to have sex with you," I told him quickly. "I don't want to give that to you and then have you ditch me or have sex with someone else too. I don't even know you that well!" He glared me down then pushed me off the edge of the tub.

"Then go away," he hissed. "I don't want a mate that doesn't want me sexually." I frowned at him as I fell into the floor then bit my bottom lip before I sat up and looked away from him, feeling an aching in my chest as a lump formed in my throat.

"You didn't have to push me," I mumbled and then got to my feet and stumbled towards the door, my legs feeling weak.

"Yes I did." He hissed angrily and I heard him come after me then. I yelped and looked back at him before I started to tremble.

"C-Caspian," I whispered and stopped dead in my tracks. He got to me and grabbed me before yanking me towards the door.

"Open this," he told me. I widened my eyes then.

"I-I can't. You broke the key," I reminded him and then looked up at him before I felt my heart racing. I hid my face into him quickly then in fear. He's so angry.... He pushed me away and started to bang on the door with his fists. I stumbled back then frowned at him before I rubbed my arms and looked away from him. "I'm cold," I whispered, shivering slightly from the wet water and the air in the room. He turned back to face me then.

"I can warm you up," he purred out. "Get in the water." I looked at him curiously then and bit my bottom lip, doing as I was told.

"Okay," I mumbled innocently then got in before I sunk down to my chin and brought my knees close to my chest as I watched him. He looks a little happier.... He got in the water with me and brought me into his lap then before adjusting us to where we were in the position before where he hovered over my back.

"Trust me," he whispered into my ear. I blushed quickly, realizing what he meant then looked back at him.

"W-wait...." I told him then bit my bottom lip. I looked him over then tensed. "If I let you do this...." I mumbled nervously, my heart racing, "you have to promise me that you'll only do this with me and you'll stay with me." I can't believe I'm offering this, but I don't want to see him angry like that again.....

"I wasn't-" He smirked then as he looked me over. "Oh yeah.... I promise we'll stay together. It'll just be us like this." He leaned in towards my neck and kissed it. "You're such a good little mate." I blushed then and moaned slightly at him kissing my neck, a shiver running through me.

"Y-you mean it? You won't do this with anyone else?" I asked him softly, starting to relax against him as I leaned up against him and found myself kissing his cheek instinctively.

"As long as you promise to keep me satisfied," he purred out. I blushed and nodded slightly.

"I'll try as long as you don't break your promise to me," I mumbled and then nipped at his ear, my body instinctively wanting to give in to him already. He smirked and nodded before moving us under the water, I could feel him guiding himself to me. Water rushed over our heads as he submerged us. He suddenly was yanked off of me by a group of hands and I was tugged out.

"Did we get him just in time!? I'm so sorry Dmitri!" I heard Vikkie say quickly. I heard Caspian groan and struggle. I widened my eyes and tensed up, seeing my uncle giving us both a pissed look.

"You didn't know Vikkie," he hissed then glared me down. "I thought I told you to stay in the room Yurik! He could've taken your virginity! That was irresponsible of you! He marked you, and you knew he did! If we were one minute later, you'd be his little playtoy!" He grabbed me then and glared at me then shook his head. "I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on you," he told me then looked at Caspian. "And you, you knew I told you no earlier. He's only eighteen. He hasn't lived much yet. He's only been here for one night too! If you really want to be his loving mate, then you're going to have to prove it to me Caspian. You're going to have to show me just how much you want him to be your mate- and I don't mean for just this mating season, I mean for the rest of your damn life! You have one month to show me that because he goes home in a month, and if you can't prove it to me, then there's no way in hell I'm going to buy you and let you ask for his hand in matehood the right way." Caspian raised an eyebrow and struggled in the doctor's arms.

"You're not his parents and he's old enough to choose what he wants for himself!" Caspian hissed out. "Tell him, Yurik. Tell him your mine now." I blushed and then looked up at Dmitri.

"U-uncle... he promised me he'd never cheat on me," I whispered to him. He glared at me then before he looked at Caspian.

"How do you know you can trust him that easily. It's his mating season," he hissed out to me. "You've only known him for a night!" Caspian growled towards my uncle then.

"Don't yell at him. We made up our minds. As long as he satisfies my needs, I'd never cheat on him." Vikkie looked us over and then giggled as she caught on to something.

"OMG he's talking," she whispered. Dmitri frowned and looked at her then looked back at Caspian, studying him before he tensed slightly.

"You swear it on your life?" He asked Caspian, looking him over. "I'll only buy you from the resistance if you promise to love him... and he wants you in return. You're a shit ton of money, and I'm not going to let my nephew get hurt because he got used by a leech vampire."

"I meant what I said," Caspian hissed through his teeth. "If he satisfies me then we'll have no problems." Dmitri looked him over and then sighed.

"Let him go. We'll only give him some small pills to allow him to keep calm. We won't inject him with the drugs over there," he told the doctors. "Caspian, you better be worth it, and you better love him or else I'll sell you right back to the resistance," he warned, looking Caspian in the eyes. "And I mean love. You better love him instead of just keeping him around for sex."

"We'll have plenty of time for love," Caspian said calmly. The doctors let him go and backed up a few inches. He playfully acted like he was going to go after them and they backed up quickly. I bit my bottom lip as I watched Caspian then blushed.

"Okay... I'll buy you in a month then," my uncle whispered and winced. "There goes my paycheck for the next couple of months. Vikkie, have him moved upstairs near my room where he can rest. I'll pay up soon, but we'll consider him bought anyways. The next one that comes our way won't be so lucky." He looked at me then before he frowned. "You're still in trouble," he told me and crossed his arms. I held up my hands and then bit my bottom lip before I rushed over to Caspian.

"I was wanting to ask him questions," I told him innocently then looked up at Caspian, a small purr bubbling up inside me. I tensed then and blushed before I walked up to the tub and snatched my pants and boxers out, putting them back on as my face reddened. I can't believe I forgot about my clothes....

"What were they by the way?" Caspian asked softly to me.

"Alright, take your pills," one of the doctors said and handed a few to Caspian. He frowned as she waved her hand at him. He took the pills from her and swallowed them.

"I guess I'll go see about that room," Vilkkie said calmly. "Then I'll come back to get Caspian." She walked away then. I looked up at Caspian then blushed.

"W-well... I was wondering what you meant when you said I was yours... and I wanted to ask you what you meant by saying I will end up craving you and then that thing where you said the mark can't be removed because ours can if another vampire comes along and marks the same person. It gets replaced by the new one.... Yours doesn't do that?" I asked him and bit my bottom lip nervously as I leaned up against the tub slightly for support. My uncle looked us over before he looked to the doctors.

"Let's go talk about a medication plan for him outside the room. We'll leave the door open," he suggested then gestured for them to follow him as he purred and walked out of the room with them, leaving just us to talk. The doctors left the room with the cart.

"My mark can't be replaced. I can mark as many as I want but it will never fade. Because of this, by the full moon, you will begin to experience what mature lovers want. You'll have hot cravings and urges to have sex with me. This is all because of the bite that felt really good I made on you. I'm a different type of vampire from you. I've adapted to a water life. This mark you have will help me find you better under water as well. It ensures no one will rape you or steal your mark where I'm from. We respect markings... Oh and because I've marked you... You no longer have powerful enough venom to mark someone. My mark took care of that. You're completely mine. If you do mark someone it will smell like me and it gives me rights to sexual love them too, so don't stick your fangs in places they don't belong." I widened my eyes slightly and blushed as I soaked that all in then rubbed my arm.

"So I can't mark you back?" I whispered, looking up into his eyes. "That's sad.... I want you to be mine too if you are going to be my mate for life."

"Sorry, but I have a terribly powerful mark. It ensures the dominate stay dominate." He laughed a little darkly towards me. I frowned then walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him for warmth and sighed.

"I guess it's okay.... I will just make you keep something of mine with you," I murmured then hid my face into his chest with a small purr before I kissed it.

"What would I possibly want to keep of yours on me" He asked and wrapped his moist arms around me before falling into me and let out a tired sigh. I laughed then looked up at him before I stole a small kiss from his lips.

"Well, I have this little bracelet," I whispered to him then showed him. "You could wear it as my mark. It's not like I'm putting clothes on you, and it's pretty...." I looked at the black cord bracelet that had a translucent blue bead on it that looked like the sea merged with the sky held in place by tiny knots on either side of it. I slipped it off my wrist then onto his before I kissed him. "It's the color of my eyes~" I told him and laughed a little.

"Grrr.... fine," he mumbled. "But when it breaks off," he sighed out and started for the tub of the water and got into it. I looked at him and followed him slowly before I purred slightly then knelt down beside the tub.

"I don't think it'll break off, and if it does, I can make a new one," I told him and watched him curiously. He leaned up against the edge of the tub before falling into it completely as he shut his eyes. I frowned at him then stood up and looked him over. "Well... they did say you fall asleep quickly," I murmured then started to walk away in disappointment towards the door. "Uncle! He fell asleep!" I called out and crossed my arms.

"That's fine, it's getting about his sleeping hours anyways," one of the doctors told me. I walked out and sighed before I looked at my uncle.

"So are you moving him upstairs?" I asked him and glanced behind me.

"Yeah, he'll be in the room right next to us for now," he told me and looked me over. "Go get settled in upstairs and don't let me catch you checking out anything else here. It's for your own safety." I frowned and walked past him. Great, what am I? A child?

I stirred in my sleep then opened my eyes slowly as the sun went down. My uncle was already up, filling out paperwork at the couch with that dragon on the back of the couch. I glanced up at him then sat up slowly, my stomach growling. "I'm hungry," I told him and swung my feet off the bed as I got up.

"There's a bottle over there.... I had it brought up for you. I also put your clothes up for you and got you settled," he told me calmly, not looking up as he frowned over the papers. I tsked then grabbed the bottle off the nightstand and started to drink it as I headed for the closet. I was going to get my stuff put up tonight. I bet he can't sleep well if he's already up and doing all this work. I walked into the closet and saw my clothes hanging up on one side, waiting for me. I smirked as I spotted my Yuri on Ice shirt with Yurio on the front of it and grabbed it.

"Looks like I'm going to be sporting this shirt today," I purred happily then grabbed a pair of jeans and got dressed. I walked out and looked at him, seeing he was still embedded in his work and I frowned at him. Well... if he's not going to pay me much attention, I'll go see if Caspian is up here or not. I snuck out slowly, sipping on my blood then walked over to the room nearby and opened it up, poking my head in to see if he was in here. He was leaned over a water bed, watching as three people was settling up a pool of water for him. The bed had purple sheets on it with a zebra printed blanket laying on top of him. He was hugging up to a matching pillow. He looked almost like an average vampire now, the way his skin tone was pale and white. His hair was drying and I couldn't find his gills on his neck. Even his eyes were that pretty blue. I blushed as I saw him then looked towards the people setting up his pool then snuck in quietly to watch, standing by the door as I shut it as softly as possible and took a sip of my blood. I sat down on the floor and leaned my back up against the door, looking the men over. He'll be happier with that pool than with that tub he was in earlier.... His eyes shot over to me then and he gave a smile as he reached out for me. I blushed again and felt my heart race as I got up and walked over to him cautiously. I sat down on the edge of the bed then purred to him as I downed the rest of my blood and sat it on his nightstand. "Hey," I mumbled to him shyly, fidgeting. He yanked me down into his arms and purred happily before kissing my neck.

"Hello," he purred out softly. The people setting up the pool glanced over. I laughed at the feeling of his lips against my skin then relaxed in his arms before I gave him a small kiss on the cheek and curled up to him through the blanket.

"So you're getting a pool? That's good. I bet you like that," I told him and nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck, breathing in his intoxicating scent and had to hold back a small moan.

"They told me I needed to stay out of the way and I've been waiting patiently here," he told me as his fingers ran across the silk purple sheets. I glanced at his fingers then pulled back from his neck to look him in the eyes.

"Are they almost done?" I asked curiously then glanced back at the men working on his pool. They were still laying it out and fooling with the tools. He shrugged.

"I'm not sure." He told me.

"No... they're not," I mumbled to him then returned my attention back to him. I ran my fingers through his hair curiously then smiled. "My uncle was too busy with paperwork so I thought I would come and see you." I purred then leaned in towards his lips before I paused and blushed, going for his cheek instead. He quickly stole a kiss from me and laughed.

"We have enough time to mate then before he catches us," he whispered and yanked me under the covers. I yelped and then went to move away from him.

"H-hey! There are other people in the room!" I told him and blushed.

"So?" He asked and looked amused. "I'm sure they don't care."

"M-my kind don't... do it in front of others," I whispered to him and bit my bottom lip nervously.

"Why not? You all breathe the same air, don't you? Why not show the true feeling you have for someone as well? It'll show them more that you're mine."

"Well, we um... we don't do it in front of others because we believe that it's something that's supposed to be private and intimate," I mumbled to him. "We kiss in front of others though.... We wear clothes too because we don't want to show ourselves to anyone but our lovers." And it's embarrassing to be naked!

"That's silly," he purred. "You're very silly. We were born without clothes, we don't truly need them." I blushed then.

"They keep us warm too," I told him and then rubbed his cheek. "We have special clothes for each season to suit the temperature and to stay cool or warm."

"We don't," he purred. "Our mates and our bodies keep us warm." He looked my face over. "But this is really comfortable," he told me as he reached past me and rubbed the blanket. I laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, I like beds too," I purred to him then looked him in the eyes before I gave him a small kiss on the lips, trying it out again. He purred and wrapped me up in his arms, crawling on top of me then looked my clothes over with a frown.

"I don't like this," he told me. "They keep our bodies from being closer." I blushed and watched him before I pulled my shirt up a little to tease him with my bare skin.

"Well... I guess it'd be alright if you took my shirt off for now," I purred to him.

"What about the rest of it?" He asked and yanked my shirt off quickly. I tensed as I lost my shirt and looked towards it then at him.

"If you really want, you can strip me to my boxers but no more," I mumbled to him, getting a little shy. He yanked down my pants and boxers then and smirked. I yelped then reached for my boxers quickly. "Not in front of them," I begged him quickly and felt my heart racing as my face heated up. I kissed him quickly to distract him, pulling my boxers back up my legs. I leaned in towards his ear then and gently kissed near it before I looked at his ear and blushed. Maybe he'd like it if I showed him some affection? He might be more pleased.... I leaned in towards his ear slowly then kissed his earlobe before I started to gently suck on it for him, wondering if he liked it. His hands ran down to my boxers again and yanked them off again, throwing them across the room. He got between my legs then and laid down, purring as he kissed my neck. I gasped and let out a small moan as he kissed my neck then felt my heart racing. "Caspian~" I moaned then kissed his neck quickly, sucking on his skin again. He purred before resting his head on my chest and went back to watching his pool get built. I paused and watched him then looked over to the people and purred softly as I relaxed under him and started to play with his hair. As I kept playing with it, it dried quicker into natural curls. I widened my eyes slightly then curled it around my fingers and kissed the top of his head before I laughed and moved my hands to his back, absentmindedly trailing them along his spine. He grabbed my hand quickly and rubbed his thumb against it. I purred and watched him before I started to sit up against the headboard. He frowned and yanked me back down so he could keep his head on my chest. I yelped then blushed at him before I kissed the top of his head and closed my eyes to take a small nap while I waited for them to finish his pool or for my uncle to find me.

I felt him move off me suddenly, waking me from my sleep and heard a splash as he got into water. I frowned and opened my eyes, sitting up on the bed then glanced over to the pool with a small whine. He totally ditched me! I sunk down on the water bed then into the warmth from where I had been laying and started to glance around for my clothes, wondering where they got off to. The people were just leaving as I glanced around. He watched me and smirked before reaching out for me. I blushed and looked at him before I got to my feet and started for where I spotted my boxers, wanting to get covered up again.

"Don't do that," he told me quickly. I paused then looked at him.

"Why?" I asked him innocently and picked them up off the floor.

"Because then you'll hide yourself from me and I don't like that." I bit my bottom lip before I nodded slowly.

"Okay, I won't put them back on until I leave," I told him softly then dropped my boxers. He smirked and reached out for me.

"Come in," he told me. I looked towards his hand then smiled softly before I walked over to him then reached up for his hand. He yanked me in quickly and moved to where we were spooning under water. I laughed and looked behind me at him before I kissed his cheek softly.

"You're just a cuddle bug," I purred at him and smiled happily. He leaned in and bit down into my shoulder again. I yelped as I felt his fangs sink in then squirmed. "O-ouch!" He injected me with his venom again and purred in amusement. I melted against him and moaned loudly, leaning back into him as I tilted my head, exposing my neck. I could feel him moving around then as he submerged us under water and I could feel him leaving my neck and aligning to enter me. I widened my eyes slightly and looked over my shoulder at him before I blushed and then squirmed again. Underwater? Why underwater? He held me to him quickly and gave my neck a kiss. I relaxed a little as he kissed my neck and moaned before I went to turn around in his arms. He stopped me quickly and let out a small growl near my ear, it traveled through the water and sent a shiver down my spine. I tensed and widened my eyes as I looked back at him then shrunk against him, trembling. I could feel him pushing me up against the bottom of the pool then. I blushed then squirmed again, feeling uneasy about being underwater where I couldn't breath if I wanted to. I reached back for him and caught some of his hair in my grip then gave it a slight tug and bit my bottom lip. I let go and then hesitantly reached downwards, trailing my fingers down his stomach. I could hear my heart racing in my chest. He grabbed my hands quickly and pushed them down against the bottom of the pool. He bit me again and injected me with his venom. I gasped then gagged as water flooded into my mouth and started to struggle in discomfort as my lungs started to fill up with water. Oh... my... lord! It burns! I yanked away from him and quickly swam up to the surface, coughing up the water that entered my lungs as I broke the surface then gasped for air, wanting to fill my lungs back up with it even if I didn't need it. He surfaced and gave me an upset look.

"What's the matter with you?" He asked and wrapped me up in his arms. "You don't even need air." I looked towards him then wrapped my arms around him, kissing his cheek.

"I got water in my lungs," I whispered to him. "It hurt.... They weren't built to hold water."

"You silly, don't breath under water until you adapt to it." He yanked me under then and got back between my legs. I widened my eyes then blushed before I leaned in and pressed my lips against his before I purred and relaxed. He breathed into my mouth then. I moaned slightly then pulled back from the kiss, looking him in the eyes before I purred and nuzzled my head into his neck and moved my legs around his waist for him, wanting to please him. I adjusted myself on him then rubbed his back, running my fingers down his spine before I grazed my hand over his butt curiously. He grabbed my hands and flipped me then as he leaned back into my neck and spread my legs again, I could feel him brushing against my body. I blushed and then glanced back at him shyly as I felt his body against mine and moaned a bit from it then moved my back up against his chest, pressing my body up into his as I started to feel a little funny downstairs. He purred towards me, the sound running through the water towards me. I felt him adjusting again, pressing against my entrance to take my innocence from me. I blushed a deep shade of red and squirmed a bit uneasily as I felt a tension building up in my lower stomach and moaned. He guided himself then into taking my innocence- spending a good three hours with me in his pool- not getting caught by my uncle.

I fell weakly against the bottom of the pool and trembled, exhausted as my whole body felt amazing but tired at the same time. I glanced up at Caspian and then reached for him, blinking slowly. I could hear someone knocking on the door then, making me tense up. He surfaced then and yanked me with him before resting against the pool wall and made me lay up against him.

"Yes?" He asked. I purred and leaned in towards him, my fangs instinctively exposing.

"I'm tired," I mumbled to him, leaning in towards his neck as my hunger spiked. I scrapped my fangs against his neck then bit in gently, starting to drink his blood as I wrapped my arms around him. The door busted open then and my uncle walked in then froze, looking us over.

"Did you... Yurik! Get away from him! Your mother is going to be so angry if you two had sex!" He hissed at us and started for us both. Caspian wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"This is my mate," he hissed out.

"You didn't get his mother's permission," Dmitri growled out towards Caspian. I blushed and shrunk against him.

"Uncle, I want to be with Caspian. I'm his," I told him quickly then kissed Caspian on the lips in front of my uncle.

"I don't need permission from anyone. He's mine and that's final." Caspian kissed my forehead then. My uncle looked the two of us over before he sighed.

"Fine... but what's your plan for living with him? He can't live underwater like you, and you won't be happy on land," he told Caspian then walked up to the pool.

"He can adapt," Caspian said quickly. "I'll teach him."

"He'll be able to breath under water? You'll feed him what he needs too?" He asked him calmly, looking at him as he stopped right by the pool.

"Eventually... A few hundred years... If he starts now." He submerged my head then. I widened my eyes and started to struggle, not liking the sudden change.

"You'll have to stay nearby," he told him then looked him over. "Alright, I'll let you keep him. I'll talk to his mother about this... and he can start sleeping in here if you promise to behave."

"I don't know what you mean by behave," Caspian said and smirked. He let my head go then. I resurfaced quickly then growled at him, exposing my fangs at him.

"I mean don't fight those who work here," he told him calmly. "You'll have to be respectful, and if you have problems, I want you to come tell me about them."

"What's respectful?" He asked and frowned. "Why can't I fight the others?"

"Because you'll hurt them, and then I'll have to spend more money that this place has to offer them treatment," he told him then smirked. "Just don't fight them and you can have little Yurik in your room for as long as you want and as long as he's okay with it." I blushed then and looked at Caspian before I gave him a pleading look.

"Please? I want to stay in here with you," I told him quickly and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I want to be yours...." I need to be his. He frowned but nodded.

"I'll see about doing that," he whispered. Dmitri smirked then and looked him over.

"Glad to see we're on the same page then. You'll be able to move around a lot more... and if you slip up a few times, I won't punish you until you do it a fourth time," he told him. I purred in delight then kissed Caspian deeply, desiring his attention again. Caspian purred and sunk down in the water with me, submerging us as his fingers ran across my side. I moaned and then leaned into the kiss more, licking his bottom lip as I moved one of my legs up his slowly towards his hip. I felt the water swirl a bit before my uncle whistled and started to leave us, a small current circling in the pool but not strong enough to force us to move. Caspian smiled and reached out to the current, running his hand against it. I looked at the current then at him before I gave a huge smile and held out my hand to him. So my uncle can do that too, huh? Mom did say I reminded her a lot of my uncle.... I purred then made a small group of bubbles appear in the palm of my hand and watched him. He looked towards my hand and grabbed at the bubbles in my hand, giving them a curious look. I let him take them, keeping them formed then purred at him before I made my uncle's current pick up a little to please him, making it stronger. He pushed away and started to swim against it then. I swam up to the surface and laughed before I sat on the edge of the tub, dangling my legs in as I made the current stronger for him to give him a work out if he wanted to swim against it.

"There you go," I purred to him then lightly kicked my feet as I concentrated the current towards the bottom and kept the top calm for me. He swam against it, looking pleased by the water moving against his body. I purred and watched him swimming, studying his movements before I got down from the pool and stumbled towards the bathroom to go take a shower while he swam. I cut the water on to warm then looked the soaps over, organizing them the way I liked it in my shower back home then turned the shower head on. I heard him walk in then slowly as he looked over the bathroom.

"What is this?" He asked me. I paused then turned to him.

"It's a bathroom. We use it to... pee and stuff," I told him then pointed to the toilet. "That's where you do that kind of thing.... The sink is for washing your hands." I gestured to it then and showed him, cutting the sink on then off. "And the shower is for getting clean," I purred, adjusting the water and then climbed into it and moaned as the warm water hit my sore body. He got in with me and touched the water.

"It's so hot," he told me and yanked back. I looked at him then kissed him before I shut the curtain.

"Well, we can adjust it," I told him and gave a small smirk before I cut it down to luke warm for him. "Is that better?" He nodded and looked the bottles over before pointing to them.

"What are they?"

"Soaps," I told him and grabbed the shampoo to show him and squeezed some out into my hands before I shampooed my hair and rinsed it out. I gave him a small smile and laughed before I went to shampoo his hair. "This one is for your hair and makes it smell better." He leaned in towards my hair and smelled it. He let out a small gasp. I paused and watched him before I purred and gave him a kiss, starting to rub it into his hair too. He leaned down to my neck and kissed me there before running his fingers across my chest. I blushed then rinsed his hair out, taking care not to get it in his eyes then grabbed the conditioner and put some in his hair then in mine. "This is conditioner. It makes your hair soft," I whispered to him then wrapped my arms around him. "We have to let it sit in our hair though." He leaned his head into the water and rinsed it out quickly, rubbing some of it onto my chest. I gasped and frowned at him. "Hey, we're supposed to make that stay in our hair for a few minutes," I told him then started to rub at my chest to get it off. He looked at me and frowned.

"I don't like it's texture." I watched him then gave a small smile.

"Okay, I guess it's alright. You don't have to," I told him then rinsed it out myself and grabbed the body soap then a wash cloth to clean him up. I got some soap on it then looked towards him, starting to rub his shoulders with it and bit my bottom lip. He watched me curiously and smelled the cloth.

"I like that," he told me. I laughed then.

"This is body soap," I purred to him. "It makes our skin smell good and it makes it clean," I told him then kissed his lips before I moved to his arms and then his chest. "After this, I can show you what lotion is~ It makes the skin softer and nicer to touch." He smiled and gave my cheek a kiss before grabbing the cloth and rubbed it against his body. I let him and watched as he caught on then grabbed my own and started to clean myself up. He took his time in washing his body, way longer than I do. I laughed and rinsed myself off when I finished then rinsed the wash cloth before I hung it up then gave him a kiss and purred. "I'll wait outside the shower for you," I told him softly then climbed out, grabbing a towel nearby to dry off and wrapped it around my waist. I grabbed the comb on the counter and started to do my hair, brushing it back from my face and then started to hunt for a bottle of lotion. I found one under the sink then purred, pulling it out and started to put the rose scented lotion on my hands and some on my arms. He finished up and followed my movements with the wash cloth before getting out soaking wet and walked up to me, looking the bottle of lotion over before smelling my arms. I laughed then grabbed another towel and started to pat him dry a bit but left him somewhat wet so he wouldn't get angry and then put some lotion into his hands and started to rub it into his skin. "See~ It smells good," I told him then smelled his hands before I gave them a small kiss then walked past him to turn the shower off. I heard him turn the sink on then and started to rub the lotion off. I frowned and turned to look at him. "You don't like it? Does the texture upset you?" I asked him and walked up to him, wrapping my arms around him from behind as I leaned my cheek against his back.

"Bad texture," he told me and rubbed it off before looking at a towel and got the rest off on it. He looked at the sink drain and leaned in towards it, looking down into it. I watched him curiously then laughed.

"It keeps the sink from overflowing," I whispered to him then kissed his cheek. "The water is taken elsewhere to be cleaned somehow." I smiled then started to massage his shoulders with a purr. He looked up into the mirror then and looked at it then tilted his head before reaching out and jumped back as he touched it. I laughed and shook my head. "That's called a mirror. You use it to see yourself, but you can't touch yourself in it. It's a reflection- only an image of you."

"That's me?" He asked and pointed at himself in the mirror. He leaned in closer to the mirror and smelled it.

"Yeah, it's you," I told him then stepped out from behind him. "See, I'm in it too, but you can't touch me there because it's fake. It's just there to show you what you look like." He pulled away from the mirror and frowned. He pulled me out of the bathroom quickly and shut the door. I frowned at him then. "What's the matter? You don't like it?" I asked him softly. He shut the bathroom door....

"I don't want them to come in here while we're sleeping. We should board the door up." He looked around the room then. "They might kill us and become us." I laughed then and shook my head.

"No silly, they're fake~" I told him. "They're not real. They're just images. Anything shiny normally does that. Water will show you yourself sometimes too if it's calm enough to reflect the light perfectly," I purred then kissed his cheek. "It's nothing to be afraid of. They can't hurt us. They're just there- little reflections of us. They don't think, or say anything. They just move when we move because that's what a mirror does. It creates little images of us that do what we do, but it can't do anything to us because it's not real. It's like... a magic trick that can't hurt you." He looked the door over and stepped away from it before shaking his head.

"I don't understand," he told me. I nodded.

"It's okay. You didn't grow up with it," I whispered. "We can cover the mirrors up for you with paper so you don't have to see it if you're afraid of it."

"Get rid of it," he told me quickly. "I don't want it near us." I frowned but nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell them to get rid of the mirrors," I whispered then kissed his lips. "They won't be in there after tomorrow night." I unwrapped the towel from my waist then and dropped it before I purred to him. "You're safe though, I promise." He grabbed my hand and took me to the door to go into the hall.

"Open this," he told me. I blushed then.

"U-uhmm... I'm naked though. Let me get some clothes on," I told him then ran over to my boxers, slipping them up my legs then got my shirt and pants on before I returned to him and grabbed the door handle, twisting it open and pushed it for him so it'd open. He pulled me out into the hall and started far away from the bedroom. I widened my eyes then. "Is this about the mirrors?" I asked him softly. He nodded as he yanked me along. He looked over his shoulder at me and then behind us. I paused then and frowned. "I'll remove them then," I told him softly then pulled away, going back to the bedroom quickly. "It shouldn't be that hard. We'll put them out into the hall and someone will take them away from us."

"Don't let the image side up so they can slip through," he told me and walked after me. He grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. I purred to him and gave him a huge smile. This is kinda sweet. I'm able to do something for him. I laughed then nodded, taking him back inside then went to the bathroom, going inside and looked the mirrors over before I climbed up onto the counters and started to remove the mirrors carefully, getting them both then got down with them and walked out, going to the hall and set them outside the way he wanted and walked in, shutting the door behind me.

"There we go. No more mirrors," I told him and smirked a bit. He watched the hall door carefully and sat down on the edge of the water bed before shifting slowly to lay down in it and watched the door. I walked over and frowned before I climbed into the bed. Maybe I should try to take his mind off it. "Caspian," I mumbled softly then moved on top of him, straddling his body before I leaned in and kissed his lips deeply, making it passionate to try to take his mind off his fear of the mirrors. He pulled back from the kiss and kept his eyes on the door. I frowned at him then. "Cassy," I whispered then leaned in towards his ear before I started to suck on it. He held me closer then. I could hear his heart pounding in his chest. I licked his neck then and purred loudly to him, trying to calm him down before I started to kiss down his neck and his chest slowly, giving a small moan every few kisses. I could hear his stomach grumble a little as he leaned in towards my neck hungrily. I laughed then, looking up at him before I tilted my head for him and ran my fingers through his hair encouragingly. "Come here Caspian," I whispered to him. He bit down into my neck hungrily and started to drink my blood. I clung to him and then moaned softly at his bit, relaxing this time and didn't freak out. I kissed his cheek quickly and held onto him. "Caspian~" I purred happily.

He licked my skin as he pulled back and gave a tired look to me already. I frowned at him as I saw the look he was giving me then kissed his lips quickly. No fair... how come he only stays up so long.... It's only a few hours till dawn. I trailed my fingers down his sides, hoping to keep him awake. He groaned as he tried to keep his eyes open, struggling. I frowned then went towards his manhood, giving it a squeeze as I blushed a bit. His eyes came open then as he widened them. He gasped and reached down to my hand. I felt my heart racing as I watched his reaction then kissed his lips before I gave him another squeeze, starting to rub his manhood to wake him up enough to stay with me till dawn. He gasped and looked towards his pool of water, moving to go for it with me. I yelped and blushed before I held him down on the bed, knowing he'd try to take me again in the water... or pass out. I leaned in and gave him another kiss on his lips as I squeezed him again. He squirmed under me a little before settling and grew still. I paused and looked into his eyes curiously before I started to pull off my shirt and pants for him, leaving my boxers on though. I leaned down and kissed his stomach before I ran my fingers along his manhood and purred to him. He gave me a small smile before looking towards the water again.

"Yurik," He whispered. I looked up at him then and laughed.

"What?" I asked him softly then moved my head down to his thighs and kissed the inside of one.

"I need the water," he told me and sat up quickly. I sat up then and frowned at him.

"Do you really have to go to sleep?" I asked him and gave him a disappointed look. "I know what you'll do as soon as you're in it."

"I'm desperately tired," he complained and fell backwards. He rubbed at his eyes and looked stressed. I sighed and then pulled away from him.

"Okay... you can go to sleep," I mumbled to him then brought my knees to my chest. "I'll sleep here on the bed when it's time for me to sleep." His eyes fell heavy then and he curled up into a ball. I frowned at him before I scooped him up and started to carry him towards his pool and placed him in it so he could rest in a more natural way for him and rubbed his head before I pulled away and went over to the bed with a frown. Ditched... again. He stretched out in the pool of water then. I could hear someone coming towards the door then and knocked on it lightly. I paused then went over to the door curiously. "Who is it?" I called, my hand on the doorknob.

"Vikkie. I brought him his meds and a nice meal. Am I too late?" She asked.

"He's passing out, but he fed from me," I said as I opened the door and looked out to her.

"Hey," she gave me a huge smile as she had a tray in her hands. She looked towards the mirror then. "What's up with that thing being out here?" She asked curiously. "We need to get these pills in his system. Think we can wake him up for it?" I glanced back at him then at her.

"Maybe... but I don't think he needs any pills. He's been really calm," I told her and smiled softly. "He's afraid of the mirrors though, so I took them out of the room. He thinks that the reflections will come out of the mirror to kill us and replace us like doppelgangers." She busted out laughing then and handed me the tray before walking in.

"Doppelgangers?" She asked and walked up to the pool of water and looked in towards him. She sighed. "Well.... Make sure he takes those pills when he wakes up then. If you have any trouble, you tell your Uncle." She walked up to me and patted my cheek. "Have his supper." I nodded and purred to her.

"Thanks," I told her then looked her over before I took the tray over to my bed. "I'll enjoy it." She left me alone then. The plate consisted of a seafood salad with some fruits. I looked it over before I frowned and then sat down, starting to eat it. I should find out what his favorite meal is before too long.... When I finished getting the plate clean, I laid down on the bed and set the tray aside and curled up to Caspian's faint scent with a purr, cuddling the pillow he was holding earlier as I drifted off to sleep early.
