A Vampire's Reward

He was on the sofa with his back against the arm and his legs stretched out under a thick blanket. His long hair gleamed, as it trailed down over his shoulders and his color looked almost normal. I had no trouble picturing him dressed like one of his ancestors that came before him, astride on a horse with the wind pulling his hair away from his face.

For the first time in a very long time I felt a tug of desire in my gut, and truthfully, it made me angry. Because, I can see myself as the young maiden, waiting for his return, knowing that when he does great pleasure would be found once again in his arms.

I growled low in my throat and thought no one could hear me, but someone did. Levi. As Rose chatted on he turned his head toward me and it was all I could do not to gasp as those piercing dark eyes landed on me. I couldn't help but return his stare; feeling like I was sinking into a black ocean that was filled with knowledge beyond their years.

"Well there you are, dear, come meet our guest." Rose waved me over toward the sofa. I hesitated for a moment. Fought the urge to run which increased my anger because since my turning I had never run from any mortal, much less a mortal man.

I circled around to the front of the sofa and Rose put her arm around me. "Marina, I want you to meet Mr. Levi "Tansy" Greer. Levi, this is Marina Wilder."

He raised his hand out to me and I took it carefully with mine. Sparks seemed to fly when we touched but neither of us pulled away. For the longest time we just looked at each other. I was like we were in a battle of wills to see who would give in and look away first.

"Welcome to my home, Mr. Greer. I'm glad to see you awake this evening. How are you feeling?"

He rubbed his thumb over my skin. "Thank you, Ms. Wilder for bringing me here. Most of all thank you for saving my life. I wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for you." His caress burned mewith their warmth. "And as for how I feel, I'm so much better, especially since I'm now warm and dry."

"I'm very glad to hear that, Mr. Greer."

"Please call me Levi, Ms. Wilder."

I swallowed a little to loud but finally answer, "As long as you call me Marina, Levi."

Silence filled the air as I looked down at our hands that were still locked together. His complexion was so dark against my pale skin. His fingers so much bigger then my own, but surprisingly he had a soft touch. I glanced back up at those dark eyes and my nipples tighten into hard pebbles and desire pooled between my legs.

"Thank you, Marina." His husky voice said my name and caused me to shiver.

I jerked my hand away from his. I don't know who I'm angrier with, him or me. "Is there someone we can call for you like a wife, parents or maybe a girlfriend?"

I saw him try to fight a grin but he soon lost the battle, which irked me even more that he knew he got to me a moment ago. "No, everyone I know doesn't have a phone. Even if they did the only one I would care about calling would be my grandmother."

"Are you from around here or are you on vacation, Levi?" Chad asked.

"I moved here back in the spring and been living with my grandmother over in Cherokee ever since." Not once did he look away from me as he replied.

"So what happen? Did you go on a hike and get lost?" I asked, sitting down in a wooden rocker next to Rose.

"Well I was on a vision quest, not a hike, and I was on my way back to my grandmother's when the storm hit. It's to early in the year for a storm like that. All I thought we would get was a light dusting of snow, so instead of finding shelter I kept on walking. Then I got wet and so cold that I couldn't keep going. Somehow I lucked upon that cave, but we see what that did for me."

Chad poked at the logs in the fireplace and then turned around. "I've heard of that term vision quest before but don't know exactly what it means, Levi. Can you tell us?"

"A vision quest is a journey for the body and spirit. There is a lot of preparation that goes into a quest with a guide or mentor helping you before hand such as cleansing of the body inside and out, special diets and spiritual training, but this is only a small part of what takes place."

Levi ran his fingers through this hair and took a breath, "Now if this person has a certain job like medicine man or warrior, then certain test are given and they must be passed before any quest is taken. Once all the preparations are done you may begin your journey, usually somewhere remote, the farther from civilization the better really."

He sighed as he shook his head. "Where I went wrong at was by not following the rules exactly when I started my quest or I would have never ended up lost in that storm. You're suppose to take your mentor or guide with you and I didn't. I knew it was dangerous to go alone but I didn't listen and so that's how I ended up in that cave."

Rose fluffed a pillow behind her back as she asked, "Since you were on your way back to your grandmother's I take it that you found what you were looking for?"

He looked at her for a long time before answering. "Yes Rose, but you know I didn't understand what my visions and dreams were trying to tell me. What they showed me I didn't think it was possible much less real."

He turned his head slightly and looked at me, "It wasn't until Marina found me, Rose, that I knew the spirits had not lead me astray with what I was shown."

"I know it may be to personal son, but what was it you went looking for?" Chad asked quietly.

"Well sir, my mother died when I was very young, I was told I was only a year old when it happen and I was never able to find out the reason behind the middle name she gave me."

"You see my mother was part Hopi and my father part Cherokee. When I was born my mother gave me the Hopi name of Tansy. For the longest time I only knew of Tansy as the name of a flowering herb. Well last year I was finally able to find someone who knew the Hopi meaning. That meaning has been gnawing at me continuously and eventually led me to go on a vision quest."

He stopped speaking and looked at me again and I swear the hair on my neck stood up. With a voice barely above a whisper I found myself asking, "What does Tansy mean?"

His eyes filled with a strange light. "In Hopi, Marina, it means, immortality."

The trees shot by with blinding speed as I sprinted through the forest. Small limbs and branches broke off, scratching and cutting my skin through my clothes as I left a trail of debris behind me. I wished I could feel the pain of those scrapes then maybe that would take my mind off Levi.

Why would his mother give him a name that means immortality? I know only that Native Americans sometimes name their children certain things because of signs or visions that they had on the day of a child's birth. Did one of his parents have a vision, or was it a family elder who saw something in Levi when he was born?

And what about the vision quest Levi took and the answers he was shown? He told Rose he didn't understand them till he met me. I feared that he knew exactly what type of monster I am, especially with the way he stared at me when he told us the meaning of his name.

I stopped on the edge of a rocky ledge and stared down into the deep ravine below. A black bear walked by the stream and I watched as he tried to catch fish with his mouth. I fingered my necklace that held Dante's and mine wedding rings and tilted my head to the night sky to stare at a moon so bright it nearly blocked out the stars.

I longed for Dante to be here with me.

This was our favorite place to come to almost every night. We would sit here, his arms around me, my head resting on his shoulder and gaze at the stars. He would tell me stories about his long vampire life that happened before he met me. On some nights, though, we never said a word to each other. Those were some of the best nights of my life. He'd make such tender love to me here. Never in a rush, always caressing every inch of my body again and again till my cries echoed through out the woods.

Before tonight Dante had been the only man to fill my thoughts. But now Levi was on my mind and no matter how I tried, I can't push him from there. I'm so drawn to him, like there is something in his soul calling to me. And I feel like he can see into my soulless body, seeing exactly what I am and everything I've done.

There are millions of reasons why I shouldn't think about Levi besides the guilt and disloyalty I feel toward Dante's memory. The biggest reason deals with him being a mortal. With all the immortals that I know in this world my feelings had to come back to life for a mortal.

I made my way back to the cabin, snow softly crunching under my feet. I can't let him find out that I'm a vampire. No matter what his name means or what vision he saw during his quest, giving him, a mortal, that information would put my undead life in danger.

By the time I returned all the lights were off. I entered through the kitchen door and tried to be quiet and not wake anyone, especially if Levi was still on the sofa instead of moving into the guestroom.

Once inside I saw that the fire still burned in the living room fireplace. Carefully I walk over to the sofa and found Levi lying there with the blanket down around his hips. His chest was bare and so smooth; his muscles so well defined that my fingers ache to touch him.

I stood there and watched him sleep, matching my breathing to his and listened to the strong beat of his heart inside my head. My eyes scanned and found the vein in his neck throbbing softly, making my mouth water with the need to taste him.

I sat down in the chair I had used last night and leaned my head back. All my senses were focused on him and I remembered the vision that came to me earlier that evening of him being an Indian warrior of old.

I let myself slip into the fantasy and found myself standing in a village as my warrior rode up on his horse with his black hair blowing behind him in the wind. His dark skin was covered in sweat and glistened in the hot afternoon sun. Just looking at him made my breasts swell and heat pool between my legs.

He stopped the horse beside me, leaned down and pulled me up to sit in front of him. He wrapped me in his arms as his hands took hold of the horse's mane and started us off into the forest. His scent was strong and filled my lungs. I turned my head to look at him and found his dark eyes staring at me. Slowly one of his hands slid into my hair and held my head in place as his lips touch mine. His kiss were soft at first, coaxing my lips apart with the tip of his tongue. He barely pushed inside before pulling back then in again, this time deeper, running the tip over the roof of my mouth. My tongue followed his retreat and pushed into his mouth. He moaned deep and sucked at my tongue as the proof of his need hardened against my bottom.

The horse continued to stroll through the forest, having been this route numerous times before he took us to our spot by the waterfalls. My warrior moved off the horse then put his hands around my waist and slid me down along the front of his body. I gasped as my breasts rub against his chest; the thin material of my dress couldn't hide the effect he had on my nipples as they hardened.

His callused roughened hands cupped my face and he kissed me again. That time his need was even greater as he plunged his tongue between my lips and rubbed his growing bulge against my belly. His dark eyes sparkled with heat as he stepped back, breathing harsh as he watched me slip from my clothes. My nipples hardened more as his eyes go to my breasts. His soft murmurs of love and affection told me how much he had missed me while away on the hunt.

Once undressed I stood in front of him a moment before I turned and slipped into the water. After quickly diving under I surfaced, turning to watch him remove his clothing. His chest was so big and strong and his shoulders so broad. His body was so sleek as it narrowed down toward his hips, leading my eyes to his cock that was heavy with need. He walked into the water and swam out toward me and then disappeared. He brushed his body against me under the surface before rising in front of me.

He pulled me close and moved my breasts over his slick chest while his mouth glided over my neck to my shoulder. His hot tongue licked drops of water from my skin as his mouth moved down onto my breast. I moaned when his wet lips closed around my nipple. He sucked it deep into his mouth and the sharp tugging sensation of his lips seemed to be pulling all the way from between my legs and out through my nipple.

My legs circled around his hips in the water and my hands went to his head holding him in place. His big hands moved down to my bottom and pull me closer, his long legs allowing him to support us both. He ground my sex against him under the water and my moan echoed around the small waterfall. Panting with hunger, I pulled his mouth from my nipple and without one word he walked out of the water and dropped to his knees laying us down on a soft bed of grass.

His eyes took on a fierce look as he held himself over me, rubbing his cock between my legs and growing harder with each movement. Whimpers of need came from inside me then turn into a sharp cry as he slammed in hard and deep, taking me roughly and making every inch fill me. He pulled back slowly, leaving only the head inside before plunging deep once again. Over and over he kept up the fast and slow movement of his cock as my cries echoed far into the distance.

His movements became fast and hot as he hooked my legs over his arms, going deeper inside me, feeling like he was reaching up into my womb with every thrust. My body was wide open and unable to do anything but take what the savage beast inside him gave. I craved what this warrior does to me. He was the only one who could take me and claim me that way.

I cried out sharply as he pushed my legs back even farther against my chest. His balls slapped out the rhythm of his thrust on my bottom. I lifted my head up and look down watching his cock pump into me, so slick with my juices. My sex clung tight to him, fighting his withdrawal only to stretch and swallow him whole once again.

My moan pulled me out of the fantasy and back into reality. I kept my eyes closed as I worked my hand, that had somehow found its way inside my pants, over my wet pussy, pushing a finger between the swollen lips and stroking my pulsing clit. I moaned again when I found the right stroke that would take me over the edge. My body slid lower in the chair as I spread my legs wider, slipping two fingers over my engorged clit, stroking faster. My sensitive hearing picked up the sound of them on my wet skin. I can't stop the hungry groan that left my throat or the shiver that went through me from the ache in my teeth as they extend.

"So close," I moaned, slipping the two fingers down and pressing them inside me as my thumb takes their place on my clit.

I heard a deep groan, but it wasn't mine. My hand froze in place it leaving my fingers deep inside me. I opened my eyes to find Levi awake and watching me. The moon and the glow of the fireplace provided enough light for him to see what I'm doing.

"Levi," His name sounded so husky from my desire filled voice. He moaned again and that's when I noticed that I'm not the only one playing. He had his blanket thrown over the back of sofa and his boxers were in the floor. And there he was, naked, hard, and stroking the biggest cock I'd ever seen.

"You're so beautiful, Marina. Please don't stop. Let me see you come." He whispered, slowly running his hand over the long length of his cock.

My pussy squeezed my fingers hard as I watched him. My breath caught in my throat when I slid them free and removed my hand from my jeans. I stood up and never took my eyes off of him. He never once stopped stroking his cock as he kept his gaze on me.

I pulled my shirt up over my head and dropped it to the floor. Quickly I removed my bra and kicked off my shoes. Levi mumbled something unintelligible and quickly removed his hand from his shaft, leaving his cock to twitch in the air.

Juices flooded my panties when I slid my pants down my legs. I smelt my own scent in the air mixing with the scent of aroused male. Finally I pulled my panties off, ready to drop them onto the floor when he asked, "May I Marina?"

Hand shaking, I tossed them over to him, and then watched as he brought the crotch up to his face and inhaled. "Mm, you smell so good."

I sat back down as desire weakened my legs. Once settled in, I positioned my legs wide enough to put one over each arm of the chair.

I ran my hands down over my throat to my breasts and squeezed them gently before circling my nipples with my fingers. Leaving my left hand to caress my breasts, I moved my right hand to my pussy and rubbed over its slick folds.

Careful to keep my face in the shadows, so Levi doesn't see my canines, I bring my wet fingers to my mouth, sucking loud enough for him to hear. He brought my panties to his mouth and I saw his tongue slide out and lick the crotch, and we both moaned.

I pushed those two fingers back up inside me hard and began to work them back and forth. My hips pushed and lifted up to meet each plunge. The wet sounds kept getting louder and louder the harder I pumped. I watched and listened as Levi stuffed the crotch of my panties into his mouth and began sucking as he pumped his cock, working himself in the same slow rhythm as my fingers that filled me.

Each suckle of his mouth on my panties made my clit swell and throb that much more as thoughts of Levi sucking my cunt filled my head. I used the fingers on my other hand to rub over my clit, finding it so hot and hard with my fingertips. No way could I hold out any longer. I found the right speed and worked my clit faster, pushing my fingers into my tightening hole harder.

Levi rolled his heavy balls with his free hand while pumping his thick cock faster; his hand making slapping sounds from the pounding he was giving it. Then he wrapped both hands around that thick shaft, thrusting his hips into the air, fucking his hands and all I could think of was how much that I wanted him inside me.

"Levi," I grunted out his name as my body bowed from the chair, fingers plunging into my contracting cunt as tidal waves of pleasure washed over me.

"Marina," he groaned out hard. His hips jackknifed up off the couch as the first rope of white cum shot all the way to his chin. The next one was just as strong as it landed on his chest.

"Yes," I hissed between clenched teeth, my muscles contracting with each shot of cum from his cock.

My orgasm began to subside and my teeth slowly retracted. Levi's chest heaved from the power of his orgasm. I removed my legs from the arms of the chair and went to him. I straddled his body and sat my weight his thighs, reaching out to take his hands one by one. My eyes locked with his as I slowly licked and sucked the drops of cum that had ran down them into my mouth. On my knees, I leaned forward and licked the cream off the underside of his chin. "Mm, I love your taste, Levi and think I need more."

I cleaned the rest of Levi's cum from his chest and belly, taking my time and savoring his flavor. My lips at last reached his cock and found that he ass hard once again with a drop of pre-cum already on the tip. I stroked his cock with a tight hand and saw another drop rise to the surface. I swirled my tongue around the head before sucking it into my mouth. He gasped and I felt him tremble as I moved my lips down his cock, not stopping till his balls touch my chin.

Levi's cock slid deep into my throat as he fucked my mouth, stroking all the way in and pulling out till only the head popped was in my mouth. I made my throat vacuum tight around him, loving the sounds he made as he pumped in and out so much that my pussy throbbed with need.
