Author's Note: Welp, my main laptop died and left me with a secondary laptop. Unfortunately that means I get to rewrite this chapter from scratch. Thankfully I was only two pages in.
Chapter Nineteen: Ragged FangsThe first thing Max became aware of was a pair of arms wrapped around her tightly. Opening her eyes as confusion began to fill her, the soldier paused a moment to take stock of her situation. It was then that the memories of what happened yesterday came back in a flood and she started to struggle to free herself from the person holding her. A person that she had a fair suspicion was Alucard. All this served in achieving was the arms around her tightening as a nose burrowed itself in her dark hair. “Do not be ashamed,” he rumbled softly, his voice shockingly gentle as she turned in his embrace to look at him.To be honest, under her embarrassment and panic, Maxine was surprisingly okay with what had happened between them. She felt so at ease around him, so at home, that it was hard for her to actually be all that upset. What caused her distress was the fact she had only know him a total of eight days. “Why shouldn't I be?! I've only known you a short time and I let you…,” she began, finding herself unable to continue as just what occurred set in. Her face went a deep shade of red as the soldier once again struggled to get out of the vampire's tight hold, only earning a soft but authoritative growl that effectively stopped all movement.
His bare hands were clasped tightly on the small of her back as he stared into her emerald eyes. Then one of his hands was coming up to cup her cheek, a callused thumb brushing her soft skin. “I am aware of how fast this has all gone, for both of us. Yet I would be willing to give this situation an exception, wouldn't you agree,” he rumbled, keeping his sunset colored eyes locked on hers. His words seemed to calm her considerably as she thought on them. The vampire had a point after all. Despite the fact they had been around eachother barely more than a week, Max found herself instinctually feeling as if she had known him for decades.
Releasing a sigh, Maxine could only silently admit defeat. With everything that happened, everything her memories had shown her, the female now knew for sure she and Alucard were simply meant to be. While she was lost in her thoughts, the nosferatu met her lips in a gentle but passionate kiss, completely taking the warrior by surprise. Then she relaxed into the embrace, her arms coming up to wrap around his strong, pale neck. A sudden knock on the door broke the moment like a delicate thread, causing Alucard to dissolve out from under her and appear next to her bed. His trademark hat, goggles and gloves were back in their proper place and he had his head tilted quizzically.
Coming to the realization that this was her room and she should answer the door, Maxine called out, “Come in!” As soon as the words finished leaving her mouth, Integra burst in with a furious but worried look on her tan face. The fact that she was only in pajamas in front of her boss dawned on Max and she pulled the sheets up to her chin, earning an amused look from the creature beside her.
“Ms. Stone, are you well?” the flaxen haired femme hissed, a smoking cigarillo clamped between her teeth. Then she was moving towards the pair, keeping her icy gaze on he powerful male.
“I can assure you she is very well. In fact, last night what came out of her mouth was highly positive,” Alucard purred, only smirking when his mistress shot him a withering glare.
“I don't recall asking you, vile creature,” she spat before turning her attention back to the blushing soldier.
“I'm fine,” Max squeaked, avoiding the older female's pointed gaze.
“If you're fine, why in the seven Hells did Walter come running into my office in an absolute panic? All he told me was that he had smelled blood and that I should not come in here. Care to explain?” hissed the imposing commander, her glasses flashing and hiding her expression from the flustered woman.
“I… he… we… don't make me say it,” the soldier stammered helplessly, unable to meet the heiress' gaze. As she finished speaking, realization came onto Integra's face; only serving to deepen the black haired woman's embarrassment.
“We are consenting adults my master, surely it is not that big a deal,” Alucard purred, sounding all too proud of himself as he grinned at the two females. This made Maxine shoot him an embarrassed, exasperated glare. This was already hard enough without the smirking demon implying they had actually went all the way.
“Am I to assume you and my servant have consummated your odd relationship?” the silver haired femme asked, giving Alucard a glare that could melt steel. 'Just fucking kill me now,' the warrior thought to herself miserably as she heartily wished she could just melt into the sheets and simply disappear.
“He… I… we haven't gone that far,” she whispered in a small, weak voice, staring down at the sheets over her lap.
“Indeed, though I suppose you would be able to call what happened sexual in nature,” the demon rumbled, earning an irritated, mortified swat from Max. He only chuckled in response, his smirk widening as Integra outright glowered at him over her glasses. Then she was turning back to the bedridden woman, an exasperated concern on her noble face.
“I wish you luck Max, you're certainly going to need it,” the Hellsing heir sighed, clasping Max's hands briefly in her gloved ones. Then the imposing female was getting to her feet, giving the nosferatu in front of her a severe glare.
“While I realize she is your soulmate, if you do anything to hurt her I will personally mount your head on a pike outside my mansion. A tactic with which you're familiar,” she hissed, poking the vampire's unmoving chest with a leather covered finger. Then she gave Maxine a nod, turned on her heel and left the pair alone.
Once alone with Alucard, Max burrowed herself under the sheets with an embarrassed groan. Right now she seethed with both anger and deep shame. The situation had already been uncomfortable and Alucard had only served in making it worse. Unfortunately she was only given a few moments of solitude before the sheets were ripped away from her and she was faced with said vampire giving her a worried look. “Why the hell did you say those things?” the soldier found herself practically whining and hated herself for it.
“They're true are they not? Besides, I did not hear you complaining last night. In fact, all I recall hearing from your lips is cries of pleasure along with my name,” he purred, his concern replaced with a grin as he crawled onto the bed. He hovered over her, his long bangs hanging in his face as his goggles, hat and gloves once again disappeared.
His rumbled words made a flood of desire and embarrassment fill her and she found herself backing away from him until her back hit the headboard. Alucard merely gazed down at her with lust as well as amused affection before he leaned forward and gave her the sweetest kiss she had ever felt. The simple kiss was full of love, protection and just a gentle happiness. When he pulled away a few moments later, it took everything inside of her not to follow his lips for more. She had never felt anything like it and it filled her with the warm feeling of being cherished. “I am afraid I have neglected to see to your care once again, though my blood will have staved off starvation. Stay in bed while I summon Walter,” Alucard announced, cupping her cheek as he rested his forehead against hers. Then he was pulling away and getting to his feet.
Then the overly tall male was striding to the door as his gloves reappeared on his hands. “Alucard, you don't need to do that. I can go to the kitchen for my own food now. After all, your blood has restored me to full strength and our activities last night effectively ended my period,” Maxine protested, moving to get out of bed before she was stopped by a low warning growl. Looking up, she saw the nosferatu staring at her with a stern, commanding look. Making a small noise, the frightened woman sank into the bed; causing the vampire to relax only slightly.
Giving the warrior one last stern look, Alucard swung open the door and called for Walter. To Maxine's shock, the butler showed up within seconds, giving the vampire a wary glance before giving her a look full of relief. “Ms. Stone, I am relieved to see you in one piece,” the retired warrior sighed, cautiously coming into the room to approach the bed.
“As I told you Walter, I would never harm my intended,” Alucard sighed, sounding unphased by the servant's disbelief. Max, on the other hand, didn't feel as nonchalant. So far, both Integra and Walter had been concerned that the vampire would hurt her; a fact that honestly offended her just a bit. Despite how he had treated her in the beginning, he had never once tried to harm her. It was almost as if the pair didn't see him as any more than a mindless beast that was unable to control himself.
“Of course he didn't hurt me! He isn't some monster with no intelligence or conscience,” Maxine replied with a bit more venom than she meant to. After everything she remembered as well as what Alucard had told her a couple days ago, Maxine found herself feeling rather protective of the vampire.
“Ms. Stone, with all due respect, you haven't been around Alucard nearly long enough to know just what he's capable of. He may seem in complete control but his demon is always close to the surface, all it takes is a little push,” the butler relied, unruffled by her anger or the annoyed look Alucard had.
“Just because his demon is always there doesn't mean he doesn't have control while in that state! Even when he has complete freedom over his powers, he has shown nothing more than the utmost restraint around those he works with! Surely you can agree that he hasn't ever hurt any under Hellsing's command nor has he shown signs of trying,” the fuming woman replied, doing her level best to keep a tight rein on her temper. Did no one in this manor actually trust Alucard? The thought made her both sad and extremely furious. Her words seemed to throw Walter off balance and he seemed to think, his brow crinkling in concentration.
“I do believe you are right Ms. Stone. While he has intimidated several of our staff and even injured a few, he has never actually killed one; though I'm sure he could have easily. I do believe I owe you both an apology for my unwarranted assumption,” Walter replied, sounding apologetic as he bowed to them both.
“You are forgiven old friend. I cannot blame you for making assumptions with the scene you stumbled onto yesterday,” Alucard replied, sounding completely unbothered. There was even an amused smile on his face as he smirked down at the aged servant. Then Walter's gaze turned to Max and she only gave him a small smile. She still didn't like the assumptions he and Integra had jumped to but she had to admit she also couldn't truly blame them. As much as she hated to admit it, she could see why they had initially panicked. Alucard was a vampire, a creature that thrived on sucking blood from people. It was a pretty safe assumption that the scent of said bodily fluid would have meant something bad.
“Now, Ms. Stone you must be hungry. I will go fetch you some breakfast,” the butler declared before simply turning and leaving the room. As soon as they were alone, Alucard was removing his hat, goggles and gloves; bending down to cup her face in his hands and resting his forehead against hers. Pleasure radiated from the dark creature as a deep purr rumbled from his chest, his burning eyes locked with hers.
“You defended me,” he rumbled just before planting a passionate, loving kiss on her lips, his tongue begging for entrance. Entrance that she gave willingly, a soft moan leaving her as her tongue tangled with his. His hands burrowed themselves in her black hair and her arms came up to wrap around his neck. Then he was breaking the kiss with a deep growl that made heat pool in her lower belly. The nosferatu's entire body shook as he closed his eyes to regain some semblance of control over himself, a fact that only made the fire of desire within her burn brighter.
“Of course I defended you! After regaining some of my memories and knowing that most of the book Dracula probably happened, I find the idea they see you as nothing more than a mindless beast honestly offensive,” she replied, a bit of anger slipping into her breathless voice as she gazed up at the vampire that was practically on the bed with her. Three more words danced behind her lips almost teasingly, frankly terrifying her with their very nearness. Yes she felt complete around him, yes she felt more at peace around him than she had in her entire life, yes she felt as if she had finally found her missing piece but she simply couldn't bring herself to say those last three words. Not after only knowing the nosferatu for eight days. She barely knew him while feeling like she knew everything about him, something that was extremely disorienting for the soldier.
Her impassioned words only caused another shudder to run through the powerful being, a low, rolling noise bubbling up from his chest as he began to place gentle kisses on her lips. Then, with a possessive sounding noise, the King of Shadows began to move his lips from hers, trailing them down to her neck and giving the soft skin a very gentle nip. The fact that a vampire was nibbling her neck caused a small surge of instinctual fear that was quickly replaced by electric desire that made her core clench in a pleasurable way. As if smelling this, which Max was sure he did, Alucard released a noise that made the burning, pulsing feeling within her to begin to tighten. Then he gave her neck a much firmer nip as one of his hands came up to give her clothed breast a gentle grope.
The clawed appendage massaged at her globe of flesh firmly as his tongue laved slowly over her pulse point. Another low, growling noise left the crimson clad demon as he oh so carefully scrapped her flesh with his razor sharp fangs. Gasping, Max arched into him as the coil within her tightened steadily; filling her with an aching, nagging need. A whimper left her unconsciously as her hands found his lengthening locks and buried themselves in them. Panting softly, the female found herself tensing and relaxing as the dark creature lingered at her jugular.
Then he was pulling himself away from her, every bit of his powerful body shaking as he stared at her with an outright ravenous gaze. His fangs had lengthened to poke past his lower lip and inky black filled his eyes. His butt length hair now floated behind him as if it had a life of it's own as the nosferatu struggled to control himself. Hunger and a terrifying need was on his noble face as he curled his hands into tight shaking fists. Before she could open her mouth to ask what was wrong, there was another knock on her door.
Making sure that Alucard had replaced his gloves at least, Maxine called out for her visitor to enter. As the door opened, Walter halted at the entrance with a silver tray in his gloved hands. His blue eyes fixed on the stiff vampire, as if sensing the thick tension in the room. Turning his gaze back to the pajama clad warrior, the butler slowly and cautiously entered the room; setting the tray at the end of the bed. With one final look at Alucard, the retired fighter simply turned and left; shutting the door behind himself.
As soon as he was gone, the imposing creature took the tray of food as his gloves disappeared once more. His shark-like gaze looked over the food assessingly before he lowered his nose and inhaled deeply. Max watched this with a mixture of exasperation and a bit of appreciation. She knew him looking for poison in the food that Walter brought her was useless but it touched her that he felt the need to make sure she was safe. Once he was seemingly satisfied, the tall being sat on her bed and held out a piece of bacon for her to eat. Rolling her eyes but knowing better than to argue, Maxine simply took the food.
A soon as she had swallowed the last bite of food, she found her lips once again captured in a passionate embrace. Alucard let out a raspy sigh as his arms wrapped around her, his tongue insistently lapping at her lips until she opened to him. Then his tongue took her mouth possessively as a hand came up to cradle the back of Max's head. He sighed into her mouth, the sound full of painful longing as his tongue lovingly swiped along hers. His claws prickled on her scalp as he slowly pulled back, his tongue lingering in her mouth as if reluctant to leave. Crimson eyes met emerald ones as the former Prince put enough distance between them to look her in the eye properly. His bare hands both came to cradle her face as the once again shuddering male took deep breaths. “My dearest Max, what you do to me,” he husked out, his voice slightly unsteady as he straightened and put some distance between them.
Low rumbles continually left the dark creature as his hands clenched and released spastically. He seemed to be trying to regain some control of his instincts as well as his rather obvious need for her. Seeing him so distressed, Max was on her feet and heading to him; pulling him into a tight hug as she rested her check against his unmoving chest. Faintly, she could hear his heart still beating and she smiled as she wrapped her arms loosely around him. Thankfully her hug had the intended effect and the nosferatu was wrapping his arms around her as he relaxed significantly. “You haven't eaten in a while either,” she sighed, looking up at him but not letting him go.
“I do not require as much blood as a normal vampire. I am in no danger, I assure you. Besides, I ate yesterday,” he purred, looking down at her with pure love and appreciation. Max only looked up at him while biting her lip before tilting her head to the side and exposing her neck in offering.
Alucard went absolutely stiff before his nose burrowed itself in the crook of her neck. His hands twitched on her back as he licked over her pulse slowly, almost sensually; causing Maxine to shudder slightly as fear and arousal mixed within her. “Are you sure?” he practically snarled against her skin, his voice sounding demonic and feral.
“I trust you Alucard,” she replied in a breathless voice, her heart practically pounding out of her chest when he scraped his fangs along her jugular.
“Relax,” he rasped quietly, his voice soothing her as he used some of his powers to force her body to comply.
“Fucking vampires,” she replied, sounding amused as she closed her eyes. Alucard chuckled briefly against her as he stroked his tongue over her a few more times. Then he was sinking his fangs into her with a growling hiss and her world exploded into pain and pleasure. Her breath caught in her throat from the intensity of the sensations. Every pull of her blood felt like a touch right on her needy pearl, drawing a throaty moan from her lips as she practically melted into his strong arms.
The vampire only purred softly, holding her tight against him as he continued to feed. As he slowly drew her life fluid from her, she felt the coil within her tightening and tensing at an alarmingly fast rate. Then, with no warning, she tipped over the edge with a gasp of the dark being's name. Alucard only growled possessively against her before slowly withdrawing his fangs and licking over the puncture wounds to heal them. “I did not take much. Your strength will return in a few hours,” he assured, scooping her into his arms and carrying her to her bed to lay her down.
Once the soldier was safely on the bed, yet another knock came from the door; drawing an irritated noise from the weakened female and causing Alucard to replace his gloves and goggles. Right now all she wanted was a good nap and a bath later. “Since when am I so popular,” she sighed before calling out for the visitor to enter. To her surprise, Integra entered the room for the second time that day.
“Ms. Stone, Alucard I am afraid I have need of your services,” the commander hissed, urgency in her blue eyes. Before Maxine could even form a response, Alucard was standing in front of the bed to glower at his mistress.
“No,” he bit out, his gruff tone holding a note of finality as he glared down at the heiress of Hellsing with challenge in his blazing eyes as he pulled down his goggles.
