Mine, Immaculate Dream
by Shelia
Dec. 1999
************
He could sense her before he saw the car. Lightly falling snow eddied gently around Nick as he stood on the roof of his warehouse. The wind
flirted with his blond curls and he absently brushed back a stray lock that tickled his cheek. Nick looked down at the street as he heard the familiar
cadence of her car's motor, and soon after he could distinguish her lights turning down the road towards him.
In the myriad sounds and flavors of the night, Natalie was a chord that had captured his attention from the very first. Even before he had opened his
eyes, her heartbeat had imprinted on his memory, awakening the beast on an instinctual level. Nick had fought against the growing demand to possess
this aura that soothed and excited him so. And when she touched him, her fingers sent burning vibrations through him, paralyzing him, stunning him
with the intensity.
Nick smiled as he remembered his confusion, the beast's confusion. The sensations were something beyond hunger, beyond lust. This was something
more than prey. LaCroix could have told him, if he had cared to listen. LaCroix could have told him if...
"Father, forgive me," Nick entreated silently, along the link that was no more. Longing and regret intermingled, tempting Nick once again to
question his motives, question his existence... but only momentarily, for the heartbeat, the song he heard, beckoned him from beyond any attempts to
bury it beneath bitterness and repentance.
He watched, silent, motionless as Natalie parked and stepped out of her car. A sudden turning of the wind crowned her auburn hair with a
shimmering diadem of snow. Natalie hurried to the door and quickly punched in the alarm code, pulling her long camel coat tighter around her as she
waited for the code to cycle through.
"Natalie," he breathed softly. There was no way she could have heard him, but she looked up suddenly. Nick could hear her heartbeat quicken and her
small gasp as she noted the shadowed figure looking down at her. He smiled wolfishly, his eyes abruptly flaring crimson, as an updraft brought her
scent to him.
There was no denying he wanted her. A low growl escaped him and Nick struggled against the desire to jump from the roof top and alight behind
her. In a heartbeat she could be in his arms. Thoughts of her radiating warmth pressed against him, thoughts of her glowing fervency under him
danced provocatively through his mind.
He loved her. Nick had tried to fool himself for a long time, gallantly, mindlessly trying to ignore the hunger in his soul, stubbornly denying what
Natalie wordlessly told him every moment they were together.
She didn't fear him.
An instant after she walked through the door Nick jumped. He landed directly on the spot she had stood, and he could sense her warmth lingering
around him. Nick closed his eyes, relishing the way Natalie's scent seemed to envelop him in the chill air. Her incomparable redolence excited both
man and beast. The dull throb of his fangs and the awakening arousal in his groin urged him to follow her. Instead he looked up, and in an
eyeblink was back on the roof. He stood at the edge of a skylight, waiting for Natalie to appear below him in the candlelit loft.
***********
Natalie shrugged out of her coat as she rode the elevator up. She shivered, and not just from the lingering chill. Below, outside, while she
was waiting for the security system to disengage, the air seemed to whisper her name. She had looked up, startled at the trace sensation of Nick's
voice. Through the blowing snow Nat was pretty sure that she had seen a shadowy figure looking down upon her.
Natalie couldn't control the way her body reacted to thoughts of Nick, let alone her body's reactions to his actual presence. She smiled as the
elevator stopped. Truth be known she didn't want her reactions to stop.
Her continual state of helpless arousal around him made her more aware of herself, made her feel more alive.
Opening the lift door Natalie noted that several candelabra were lit, and the fireplace glowed invitingly. Hanging her coat on the convenient tree
she made her way through the shadows over to the fireplace.
"Nick," she called holding her hands out to the fire, warming them. Natalie glanced around her. Several overstuffed pillows invitingly
littered the rug before the fireplace and she once again wondered at Nick's plans for the evening.
Conflicting schedules had prevented them from getting together for the last couple of weeks. Nick had suggested nothing to her the last time they had
talked, but the brooding intensity in the way he had looked at her, coupled with the message waiting on her answering machine when she awoke this
afternoon couldn't help but to rouse curiosity and darkened desires within
her. Sitting down to remove her boots, she called out again, "Nick!"
***********
Nick watched as Natalie called again as she sat down in the chair. The firelight gilded her chestnut hair with golden strands. It tumbled over
her shoulders as Natalie reached down to undo her boots. She kicked them off, and by the time she was ready to stand back up and call for Nick
again, there was a whoosh of displaced air and he appeared in front of her.
Standing, Natalie smiled at the flakes of snow melting in his hair. He looked boyish and innocent. But Nick was neither innocent, nor a boy.
"What were you doing on the roof with no coat? It's freezing out there!" Natalie reached up to brush some of the rapidly melting snow off the front
of his silk shirt and he caught her hand before she could touch him.
He closed his eyes and brought her fingers to his lips. Their warmth seared his mouth and Nick had to fight to keep his fangs from dropping.
Nick opened his eyes, clear and brilliant, brilliant blue and smiled, an enchanting picture of innocent turpitude, before answering. "Thinking."
"Thinking about what?" Nat asked. The touch of his cool lips against her fingers caused an ember of desire to flare suddenly. Natalie looked away,
embarrassed, helpless against the heat smoldering in her belly.
"About you. About me." Nick paused, and his voice lowered as he continued.
"About us," he confessed.
Natalie gazed into the fire, "What about 'us'?" she whispered.

Immaculate Dream (02/02)
***********
Nick took hold of her upper arms and turned her to face him. His eyes were still blue, still brilliant, still innocently clear.
He reached up, and Natalie closed her eyes, relishing the feel of his fingers, cool and firm against her cheek. Nick's hands carefully cradled
her face, and Natalie's mouth parted slightly as he ran his thumb lightly over her bottom lip.
"I love you," Nick said.
Natalie's eyes flew open. Nick drew her face towards him, leaning in for a kiss. The hands that held her seemed to tremble as he hesitated, then his
cool lips were against hers, skillfully teasing them open.
Nick sucked gently on her lower lip before slipping his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her sweet warmth. Natalie's tongue danced with his briefly,
then explored, the tip of her tongue brushing across his eyeteeth. Nick groaned and stepped back from her, breaking the kiss.
Nick smiled, then reflexively snarled, as his fangs dropped with aching speed. His eyes gleamed ferally, golden amber as he took Nat's hand in his
own. He continued to look into her eyes, a small moan escaping him as he pressed her hand to his confined arousal.
"I want you!" Nick's voice was a rumbling growl and it seemed to vibrate through her, stirring flames of desire, making her sharply aware of the
instinctive reactions of her body. Natalie gasped as Nick turned her -- with a sudden, breath-stealing motion -- pulling her flush against him.
"Stay with me tonight..." he whispered.
Natalie shivered as she felt his lips touching the skin behind her ear, the lightest of kisses as his tongue traced boldly along the curve of her neck.
"Tomorrow..." Nick continued, and Natalie trembled as she felt his fangs through his lips as he finished his entreaty against the hollow of her
throat.
"Forever."
Nick toyed with the small pearled buttons lining the front of her sweater before unfastening the bottom two. Kissing her name against her neck, Nick
explored the warmth of her stomach, fingertips caressing in lazy circles as his lips traveled down her throat. The fingers of one hand journeyed down
her suede-covered thigh before reversing direction, joining its twin under
the soft ivory cashmere of Natalie's sweater.
A low growl escaped him, and pearl buttons flew across the room as the soft material ripped. He cupped her breasts, roughly pulling her back against
him. Nick pinched her lace-entrapped nipples before ripping the flimsy material aside, grinning at her soft moan as he lifted her breasts in his
hands, kneading and caressing their delicate weight.
Natalie moaned again, this time in protest, as the cool electricity of Nick's caresses deserted the aching points of her breasts. The fastenings
of her skirt were no match for vampiric strength, and Natalie shivered as smooth cognac suede slid over her hips and pooled at her feet.
One hand returned to tease at her erect nipple, the other toying with the material at her hip. The filmy lace that covered her was easily torn aside.
Nick slid his fingers over her mound, through her damp curls, cupping her sex.
Natalie bit her lip and moaned as she pushed into his cool hand. Nick laughed, delighted at her responses.
"Ma Natalie, belle sensuelle," Nick whispered against her jawline between small kisses and licks to the warm flesh. He trailed the sensitive tips of
his fangs down the length of her throat, soft growling moans escaping him. Nick shuddered as he fought the beast's demands for immediate
gratification.
Natalie wiggled in his arms, again moving her hips in a mute plea. She was more responsive than he had dared to dream, or to hope. His cock ached and
he rubbed himself against her warm backside. He knew he wouldn't be able to resist tasting her pleasure much longer. Growling his increasing
excitement, Nick pushed his fingers through her heated folds.
He wanted to be inside her when he tasted her blood, but she had to be ready for him. The musk of Natalie's arousal filled his senses, and her
slick heat coated his fingers as Nick gently explored her soft warmth.
Natalie gasped and squirmed, encouraging his deeper exploration. She began to tremble as he delicately stroked her clitoris.
Nick threw his head back, breaking away from her. Natalie cried out in protest and her knees buckled as Nick released her, only to turn her, and
with dizzying speed, lower her to the cushion-strewn rug. He kicked off his shoes, and it took only a moment to unfasten and push the jeans from
his hips. In his haste he levitated slightly, pushing his briefs down along with his jeans, letting them drop to the floor.
Nick started unbuttoning his shirt, growling his impatience as the first button had the misfortune to catch. Nick's buttons joined Natalie's in
their exploration of the candlelit loft, as Nick easily ripped the shirt from him, dropping to his knees between Natalie's opened legs. Nick leaned
over her, dropping a kiss on her belly before pulling her towards him, causing the pillow under her lower body to turn, elevating her hips,
opening her legs wider. Supporting himself over her with his left arm, his right hand curved down her body, resting under her left leg as he lifted
it. His manhood brushed against her trembling thigh as he hooked her leg around his hips.
He pushed into her slick heat, growling harshly as Natalie gasped and tightened convulsively around him. Natalie's nails dug into his biceps as
she clutched at his arms, sensing the advancing waves of pleasure that threatened to drown her. She looked up at Nick wildly, her breath ragged,
gasping, trembling at the sensations spiking through her. Nick smiled down
at her, his fangs glinting viciously in the firelight.
The sensuous feel of him sliding into her, cool, thick, drove her to heights unimagined. "Nick," she moaned as he completed his thrust.
Natalie arched her back, opening herself to the submission of her body, overwhelmed and empowered by the pleasure arcing through her. Every nerve
sparked, freezing her on the periphery of perfect pleasure.
"Yes," Nick coaxed as he placed kisses along her breast, "Come to me beloved." He suckled at one hardened nipple and Natalie gasped as Nick's
fangs scratched, then dug into the tender flesh of her breast. Her fingers tightened in his hair as the Nick's fangs pierced the delicate skin.
Natalie cried out at the pleasurable pain.
The flavor of Natalie burst upon his tongue and Nick growled harshly as he suckled. His hands tightened, bruisingly cruel at her waist as he
withdrew, only to thrust deeper, harder.
"Give yourself to me!" Nick demanded as he kissed and nipped a trail up to the curve of Natalie's neck.
"Nick," Natalie managed to moan softly. "Yes! Take me! Take me now!"
Nick threw his head back, exclaiming his possession, then swiftly struck, sinking his fangs deeply into her arched neck. Crimson pleasure flooded
him and Nick roared his joy. He jerked his head, ripping the wounds on her neck further as her bright intensity blinded him. He greedily drank her
pleasure, her pain, her hopes, her loves, her fears, all that was Natalie
surging through him in an intoxicating, orgasmic rush, triggering his physical release.
Caught in a maelstrom of sensation Natalie could only gasp as nearly eight centuries of images crashed over her. The pleasure arcing through her was
beyond anything she had ever experienced before. Natalie was buffeted as the colors of emotions, the flavors of sounds tossed her through a frantic
amaranthine eternity.
It was only the love she could taste that kept her from fearing the slowing pulse of black that began to dominate. Even though her senses were fading,
Natalie could feel him withdraw from her. She could taste her blood on his lips as he kissed her softly, the vibration of his voice echoing faintly.
"Forever," Nick promised, and all faded to black.
***********
Epilogue: Sometime later, upstairs.
Nick cradled Natalie in his left arm. Carefully he stroked the marks on her breast, before continuing his caress down her waist. Nick frowned
slightly -- he hadn't meant to be so rough. The bruises at her hips were slowing fading. Those, and the ragged wounds at her neck, would completely
heal after first feeding. He grinned as he continued to caress her cooling skin. She would be ravenous, and aggressive as the vampire awoke within
her. Nick could feel the nexus between them forming, growing stronger moment by moment.
The bottles of bloodwine he had brought upstairs wouldn't satisfy her for long. He smiled in anticipation of submitting to her, letting Natalie take
him, reveling in her new found strength, her new found hungers. An ardent growl escaped him, and his manhood stirred at the thought of her fangs deep
in his throat. Nick shook his head, smiling at his impatience. Soon she would awaken and they could explore the possibilities of forever.
But for now, he would have to wait.
