She smiled, realizing that she must have fallen asleep toward the end of the movie, and not wanting to disturb her, Nick had carried her upstairs to sleep. He must have taken the couch as usual. She was still wearing the sweatshirt and sweatpants she'd arrived in last night and discovered Nick had removed her shoes but left her socks on. Something had disturbed Natalie's sleep, causing her to wake. She thought it was a sound that had awakened her but she wasn't sure. Just then, her suspicion was confirmed. She heard a moan coming from downstairs. Concerned, Natalie rose. She padded out of the bedroom onto the balcony and looked down as Nick moaned again. Nick was lying on his back on the couch in his black silk pajamas. He was moving his hips slightly and moaning now and then. Natalie noticed the tenting of the silk material over Nick's crotch. Her mouth dropped open in surprise as she realized he was having an erotic dream. Feeling like a voyeur, but totally fascinated by the scene below her, Natalie sat down on the balcony by the railing to watch. She wondered what he was dreaming about, who he was dreaming about., Natalie thought sadly. Even if that was true, she still felt very aroused knowing that he was having a sexual dream. She had always wondered what Nick looked like nude. Sure, she'd seen various parts of him when she'd had to remove bullets that didn't pass through, but she'd never seen him without his pants or in a state of arousal like now. She'd also often thought about what it would be like to make love to him. He seemed like he would be very tender, loving and gentle. A perfect lover. Nick moaned loudly which snapped Natalie out of her reverie. She looked down and saw him writhing now on the couch. He moaned again and called out Natalie's name. she thought, putting her hand to her mouth, stunned. Suddenly, Nick's eyes flew open, glowing gold, and he growled. He didn't notice Natalie watching him. He inhaled deeply, closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. A smile appeared on his face. Nick then yawned, baring his fangs which were fully descended and wiggled his rear end on the couch. A contented "Mmmmmm" escaped his throat. Natalie was in total shock. She had no idea that Nick ever dreamed about her, let alone had sexual dreams about her. She always knew he had deep feelings for her, even loved her, but this ... this was a total surprise. Now very aroused, Natalie continued to watch Nick. Eyes still closed, Nick reached up and began unbuttoning his pajama top. He lightly ran his hands down over his chest, pushing the fabric aside, and then returned to his nipples. He traced his fingers around them and then rolled them between his thumbs and forefingers. They became instantly erect. He then ran his hands down his chest to his belly and rubbed it sensuously. Natalie was watching intently as she idly began fondling her own breasts through her sweatshirt. Her breathing and heart rate had increased but she remained silent. Nick ran his fingers along the waistband of his pajama bottoms, then undid the snap. He reached down to where the silk was tented over his crotch and undid the snap on his fly. Lifting his hips slightly, he tugged the bottoms down exposing himself. Natalie's eyes widened as Nick's partial erection came into view. she thought as she felt a warmth growing between her legs. Nick reached down with his left hand as he slightly parted his legs and placed that hand under his scrotum. He gently cupped it, lifted it slightly and began squeezing and kneading his testicles. With his right hand, he reached down toward his partial erection. With his forefinger and thumb, he gently rubbed and tugged at his foreskin. Nick sighed loudly and his erection became slightly firmer. It was then that he grasped his penis with his left hand and retracted his foreskin with his right. The exposed head of his penis had a slightly rosy cast to it. Returning his left hand to fondle his scrotum, Nick began to gently caress his glans. He trembled at the first touch, quickly became hard, moaned loudly and called out Natalie's name. Up on the balcony, Natalie was totally entranced as she watched Nick begin to pleasure himself. She was deeply moved by the tenderness with which he touched his own body. Seeing him become fully erect and hearing him call her name inflamed her passion. Natalie wanted him, wanted to caress him and have him penetrate and fill her. Feeling the growing wetness between her legs, she could no longer resist. She quietly removed her sweatpants and underwear. Sitting right at the balcony's edge, Natalie drew up her knees and spread her legs. With her right hand, she wound her finger in her pubic hair, stroked it and then began to gently rub her clitoris as she continued to watch Nick's every move. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She didn't think vampires, that Nick, would masturbate, although she couldn't imagine why he wouldn't. He was obviously a sensual being who had needs like everyone else. On the couch, Nick stopped caressing his glans which was now deep red in color and swollen with blood. His penis was standing straight up and fully erect as he wrapped his hand firmly around the center of the shaft. Natalie was in awe of its appearance and size. While Nick wasn't huge, he was a good seven inches long and quite thick. She thought he was just gorgeous and wished she was down there with him, her hand wrapped around his penis, her mouth surrounding and tasting him. She increased the intensity of her clitoral massage and inserted two fingers of her other hand into her vagina as she watched Nick begin to stroke himself. Natalie bit her lip to keep from moaning out loud. She didn't want him to know she was watching. Nick slowly stroked the length of his shaft as he moaned softly and his hips began slowly thrusting to the rhythm. He fantasized it was Natalie's hand that was stroking him, making his penis harden to the point where he felt it would burst. He imagined her enjoying watching him respond to her ministrations and that further aroused him. Nick increased the speed and pressure of his hand on his penis as he moved it closer to the head and made shorter strokes. His glans swelled further and the color deepened to purple. Nick snarled, brought his left wrist to his mouth and viciously bit into it, furiously sucking his blood. Suddenly, he released his wrist, grabbed the edge of the couch, threw his head back with a loud roar and cried out Natalie's name as his orgasm exploded within him. Nick's penis jerked in his hand as Natalie watched wide-eyed, breathing hard and rubbing her clitoris wildly. She saw him ejaculate a large amount of bloody semen that landed on his chest. He slowly milked the last drop of semen from his penis, shuddered and dropped his hand to his thigh. He let out a huge sigh, smiled and relaxed as his penis rapidly softened. Eyes still closed, Nick reached over to the coffee table where his hand contacted a box of tissues left there from watching the movie earlier. He pulled some out of the box. Just as he wiped the ejaculate from his chest with them, Natalie's orgasm washed over her like a tidal wave. She cried out his name in a loud, long moan. Nick was jolted out of his dreamy, post-orgasmic state by Natalie's cry. Sitting up, he looked in the direction of the sound to see Natalie with her knees up and legs spread wide as she continued to masturbate through her orgasm. Her eyes were closed. Nick stared at her with a stunned expression on his face, the scene registering on his mind in the form of a new erection. He thought she was gorgeous. "Natalie?" he called to her with great surprise. Natalie's hand abruptly stopped its motion and her eyes flew open. She looked down to see Nick sitting up on the couch, his pajama top hanging open, pajama bottoms down around his ankles and his penis erect again. He was staring at her, mouth open in shock. Natalie grabbed her underwear and sweatpants and covered herself as she scrambled to get to her feet. Tears formed in her eyes and she cried, "Oh, my God, no!" as humiliation made her face turn red. Getting to her feet, she ran for the bedroom as Nick shouted, "Nat! Wait!" He grabbed the waistband of his pajama bottoms and pulled them up as he stood, snapping the snap closed. Then he flew up to the bedroom door that had slammed shut just seconds before he got there. Nick could hear Natalie's heart pounding and hear her crying as he listened quietly. He tried the door. It was locked. He knocked gently. "Natalie? Please open the door." "No! Go away!" Natalie shouted between sobs. "Nat, please! Let me in. You didn't do anything for which you should feel ashamed," Nick pleaded. "Yes, I did! I made a total fool of myself. Now, please, leave me alone," Natalie begged him. "Nat, listen to me, please. I know you saw and heard what I did and that's why you were up here doing the same thing. Please, don't be ashamed. What you did was natural ... and so beautiful. Please, Nat, open the door and let me in. I love you and I know you love me. Please, don't shut me out," Nick tried reasoning with her, then waited patiently, listening. He could hear Natalie's heart rate slow and the sobbing stop. There was silence for several minutes, then he heard sock-covered footfalls approach the door and the lock click. The door opened slowly and Natalie peered out at him. He noticed she had put her sweatpants back on. Natalie looked at him and noticed his erection straining against the material of his pajama bottoms. Even with how she was feeling, she couldn't take her eyes off of it. Nick saw where her eyes were staring and looked down at himself, then up at her. "I'm sorry, Nat. I can't help it. You are just more beautiful than I ever imagined and ... I want you," he told her softly, love filling his eyes. Natalie blushed deeply and averted her eyes as she opened the door fully and motioned for him to enter. As he walked past her, Nick took her hand and led her to the bed. They sat down together. Natalie stared at her lap. "Nick, I'm so sorry I spied on you. I woke up and heard you moan. I walked out on the balcony to see what was wrong and discovered you were dreaming. It was obviously ... ummm ... an erotic dream. I ... I was ... I just couldn't take my eyes off of you. And, well, when you ... ummm ... I ..." Her voice trailed off as she began blushing deeply again. Nick cupped her chin with the palm of his hand and gently lifted her head till she was looking into his eyes. He smiled tenderly at her. "I'm so glad that you watched me and that you enjoyed what you saw. I'm so thrilled that I'm pleasing to you and that I arouse you so," he told her softly and leaned in to kiss her before she could say a word. It was a cherishing kiss. He withdrew slowly and she smiled at him. "You are the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. I couldn't take my eyes off of you, Nick. I wanted to be down there on the couch with you," she whispered in reply. She leaned forward and kissed him back, pushing his pajama top off as she did, then trailed her hands down over his chest, tickling his erect nipples, which elicited a low moan from him. She then withdrew. He smiled and reached up to place his hands upon her clothed breasts. Cupping and squeezing them gently, he asked, "May I?" Natalie nodded. Nick pulled her sweatshirt off over her head and tossed it on the floor. He gazed into her eyes. "Go ahead," she told him and he removed her bra, tossing it to join her sweatshirt on the floor. Nick smiled at her and cupped her bare breasts in his hands. "Beautiful ... just beautiful," he murmured lovingly as he leaned toward her. He reached out with his tongue to softly lick her right nipple. The cool touch of Nick's tongue made her gasp slightly and she tangled her fingers in his golden hair. She could feel her nipple harden as Nick's tongue alternately licked and teased it. It felt wonderful. Nick loved the taste and smell of her. She was truly intoxicating. Becoming lost in the heady scent, he began to suckle gently at her breast. Instinctively, Natalie wrapped her arms around him and held him to her. After a few minutes, he pulled back slightly and switched to her other breast. She lovingly stroked his hair as she moaned softly. Several minutes later, Nick pulled back slowly and smiled. As he sat back, his pajama bottoms slid over his erect penis, the silk caressing the head, causing him to shudder and moan out loud. Natalie had been watching the material slide over the huge bulge, when suddenly, Nick's penis popped out through the fly. Her eyes widened and she reached out to touch him for the first time. Her fingertip slid across his exposed glans which was slick and glistening from a small amount of seminal fluid ... further evidence of Nick's high state of arousal. It felt as soft as velvet. His penis twitched and Nick let out a long, low moan ending in a growl. Natalie looked up at him to find his eyes now golden. "Please. Let me remove your pants now," Nick pleaded with Natalie in a husky voice. "Only if you let me remove yours," she replied, giving him a lewd grin. "Deal," Nick said getting off the bed and standing up. Natalie did likewise and stood in front of him. He reached out and carefully pulled her sweatpants down as Natalie stared at his erection protruding through the fly of his pajama bottoms. It was pointing straight at her. She felt herself become wet in anticipation of what was about to transpire. Nick was surprised to discover she didn't have underwear on. His penis twitched when he finally saw her completely nude. Natalie stepped forward out of the pants heaped around her ankles. She bumped Nick's penis with her belly and his knees buckled slightly as he gasped. "Sorry," Natalie giggled as she backed up a bit. She gave the problem before her long consideration as Nick stood there with a worried look on his face. "Is something wrong, Nat?" he asked hesitantly. "Don't you like what you see now that you're up close?" "Nothing's wrong, Nick," she said, cupping his cheek in her hand. "And, yes, I love what I see. You're gorgeous. I've never known a man who was uncircumcised before. It's very attractive and I find it extremely erotic. I'm just trying to figure out how to get your bottoms off without hurting you. You're ... ummm ... obviously too hard to bend." "Uh, why don't you just undo the snap on the waistband and they'll just fall off," he chuckled with a crooked grin. Natalie blushed. "Uh, I guess I'm just a bit distracted," she laughed. Nick laughed, too, then she followed his suggestion. He moved up close to her, put his arms around her waist and rubbed his penis on her belly. "Feel good?" she whispered. "Yes," he whispered back, sighing deeply. "Come to bed." They laid down next to each other, Natalie on her back. Nick moved down the length of her body and sat facing her. "Nat, will you please draw your knees up and spread your legs for me?" She looked at him with surprise at his boldness but complied. She'd do anything for him. Moving between her legs, Nick laid on his belly. His golden eyes twinkled with love and joy as he smiled at her. He then ducked his head down to begin tenderly licking and kissing her inner thighs. "Mmmm," Natalie moaned. Slowly, Nick worked his way up toward her pubic area, then stopped. He lifted his head, then leaned on one elbow. "You are absolutely exquisite. Like the petals of a perfect pink rose," he purred, admiringly. She blushed. Reaching out, he stroked her pubic hair lightly with his fingertips, then progressed to lightly stroking her outer lips. She trembled slightly. He smiled at that. Gently, he took one of her inner lips between his thumb and forefinger and rubbed it gingerly, watching for her reaction. She moved her hips slightly and sighed. Releasing her, he reached a little higher and delicately tickled the hood covering her clitoris. Natalie gasped and jumped and Nick saw the opening of her vagina contract several times. The scent of her washed over him and he saw the glistening of her lubrication. He was totally spellbound. With tremendous care and tenderness, he retracted the little hood to expose her erect clitoris to his view. He was amazed by its beauty and how trusting she was to allow him to touch her in this manner. "You're just so beautiful. I love you, Natalie," he crooned softly and leaned in to place a kiss directly on her clitoris. Natalie moaned loudly at the contact and moved beneath him. Nick began to tease her clitoris with his tongue, then released the hood and began to lick Natalie in earnest, reveling in the sweet taste of her and the feel of her hardness against his tongue. Natalie shuddered, moaning with each lick, then she felt Nick stop. She groaned in protest. Nick replaced his tongue with his fingers, lightly touching her as he sat up. "Natalie?" he called softly to her. Opening her eyes, she looked at him to see he was fully vamped, his fangs glinting in the soft light. "I'm sorry, Nat, but I have to be careful. I don't want to hurt you." He eased a finger into her vagina as he continued, "I know you are ready but if I make love to you, I'll have to bite you ... but ... I have an idea." "What's that?" she asked between gasps as Nick moved his finger slowly in and out. "I'm going to concentrate solely on pleasuring you. I want this to be special. Trust me?" "Yes, I trust you." With that, Nick moved closer to her and placed his legs under her raised knees. Grasping his erect penis, he rubbed it against her vaginal opening. Feeling the cool hardness, Natalie lifted her head and opened her eyes in surprise. She started to protest but Nick silenced her. "Shhhh. It's okay. I'm fine. I can do this for you. Please, just lie back and enjoy it." He smiled broadly at her. She leaned back on the pillow again. In addition to his penis rubbing her, she now felt his fingers stroking her clitoris. It felt wonderful. She was drifting on a wave of pleasure when she felt a short thrust and heard Nick growl softly. He had penetrated her with the tip of his penis and began to thrust. Short, sharp thrusts and firm finger pressure elicited loud moans and grunts from her. She could hear his rapid, ragged breathing and it further aroused her. Natalie loved the feel of Nick's penis in her and felt the tension rising as wave after wave of pleasure washed over her. She began to thrust her hips toward Nick trying to bury him deeper inside of her. Gasping, she suddenly felt her orgasm explode and race through her body, shocking all her nerve endings. She screamed his name and grasped his ankles which were within her reach. Nick kept thrusting until he felt her grip on him relax. He pulled out gently, panting hard and laid down on top of her, wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her closed eyelids, her forehead, her cheeks, her neck and whispered over and over, "I love you, Natalie. You're so beautiful." Slowly, Natalie came back to her senses and felt Nick's lips nibbling at her ear. She also felt his engorged penis crushed into her abdomen, seminal fluid oozing out, and it saddened her. "Nick?" She reached up and caressed his back. He raised his head and looked at her questioningly. His eyes were still gold and his fangs still visible. "What about you, Nick? You're still extremely aroused. I want to make you feel as good as you made me feel." She wiggled her hips beneath him to emphasize her word 'aroused'. He gasped as the friction against his penis sent shocks through him. She felt his penis twitch. "I know you want to pleasure me but it's too dangerous. I'll bite you," Nick told her sadly. "What if I bring you a couple of bottles and you feed well first?" she asked, hopefully. Nick smiled at her. "It won't work, Nat. You don't understand. The hunger is a problem that's fairly easy enough to eliminate, but there's ... uh, more to it." He paused and she waited for him to continue. "You see, I have to bite. Biting is what triggers my orgasm. I can't ejaculate if I don't bite." "Well, why can't you let me pleasure you and when you reach the point when you're ready for release, bite your wrist like you did earlier? It certainly is a safe alternative, isn't it?" Nick grinned at her broadly. "It won't be as satisfying as biting you but it is definitely an acceptable, safe alternative and I guarantee you that I will enjoy whatever you do for me. Three things you must promise me, though. First, stay completely away from my face, my fangs. Second, don't mount me under any circumstances. And third, at no time pin down both my arms. Other than that, you can do whatever you wish. Promise?" "I promise. Can I kiss you now, before I begin to touch you?" "Yes," he replied with a smile as he rolled off of her onto his back. "Come here." He held his arms out to her. Carefully, she moved on top of him so as to avoid getting his penis near her vagina. She took his head in her hands and kissed him lightly on the lips. He kept his mouth tightly closed. She kissed him again and ran her tongue over his lips, then withdrew, frowning. Nick frowned back at her, then raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Oh, all right. But be careful." She grinned at him and not saying a word, leaned in to kiss him again. She ran her tongue over his lips and this time he parted them. Tentatively, she slid her tongue into his mouth and felt his move forward to entwine with hers. She then moved her tongue to cautiously caress each fang. She heard a low, rumbling growl and felt his penis twitch several times. She withdrew her tongue, kissed his lips and pulled away so she could look into his eyes. "Erogenous zone," he said with a sheepish grin. "Sorry. I didn't realize," she told him and then leaned in to nip, suck and lick his neck. He let out a moan that ended in a growl. Without lifting her head, Natalie stated, "*That* was intentional." "Mmmmm," Nick responded. She moved down to his chest and slid her hands over his creamy white skin. His light brown nipples were already hard as she began to suckle them. More growls rumbled through Nick's chest. She could feel his penis throb against her upper abdomen. She smiled to herself, knowing that she was bringing him pleasure. Natalie lifted herself slightly and slid further down on Nick's body. She positioned herself so that his penis was wedged between her breasts and then lowered her body again. Then she began to slide up and down Nick's body just enough to rub his penis with her breasts, simulating intercourse. Nick began panting and cried out several times as the sensations jolted him with each 'thrust'. He threw an arm across his forehead and bared his fangs. Natalie was watching him intently and told him, "Not yet, Nick. Hold on. Not yet." The only answer she received was a moan ending in a snarl. His eyes were tightly shut, his face twisted into a grimace. Natalie slowed her movements and then stopped. She didn't want him to orgasm until after she'd had time to closely examine him. She was very curious about his foreskin and she wanted to pleasure him in other ways, too. Nick's breathing slowed and she felt him relax beneath her. She moved further down his body until her head was even with his penis. Quietly, she visually examined it. The skin of his shaft was pale with a slight pinkish tint. The glans was beautifully shaped like an acorn, swollen and dark purple, the meatus gaping open at the tip. His foreskin was retracted in folds directly behind the glans. Nick's scrotum had tightly contracted his large testicles against his body. A moderate amount of curly golden hair surrounded the base of his penis and was lightly sprinkled over the skin of his scrotum. Natalie loved what she saw. He was very beautiful to her. Natalie's inactivity puzzled Nick. He propped himself up and opened his eyes to see what was going on. He saw her staring at his penis. "Nat? What's wrong?" "Not a thing, Gorgeous. I'm just admiring you." She leered at him wickedly. Nick's face colored slightly in a vampire version of a blush. "You can touch me, Nat. It's okay. In fact, I'd *love* for you to touch me." He leered back at her. "Oh, don't worry. I intend to touch you ... and more." She lowered her face to his scrotum as Nick watched and nudged it with her nose. She inhaled deeply, drinking in his clean, musky scent. Nudging him a little harder, she began to lick him, rolling his testicles around as she did so. Nick continued to watch as the warmth from Natalie's tongue spread through his pelvic area. She was gentle and it was very pleasurable. She licked her way up his scrotum to the base of his penis where she sucked gently on him, then stopped. Sitting up, she grasped his penis at the base and ran her tongue among the folds of his foreskin causing him to tremble, close his eyes and moan softly. "Nick?" He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Yeah?" he breathed, heavily. "Will it hurt you if I pull your foreskin over your glans?" He looked at her puzzled as to why she'd want to do that but said, "Uh, no. It's loose enough. You won't hurt me." "Okay, good," she replied, happily. Carefully, she grasped the ends of his foreskin and slowly and gently stretched it forward until it was completely smooth. The last third of his glans was still exposed. Nick growled as his foreskin moved over the sensitive surface but he did not take his eyes off of Natalie. She looked up at him to find his fangs bared and sheer lust in his eyes. She grasped the middle of his shaft and gently stroked it twice. Nick growled and snarled. "So, this is how you look when you're not erect?" she asked seriously. Nick could only nod in response. He put his wrist near his mouth to signal Natalie that he was wanting release. "Not yet. Hold out just a little bit longer, Nick. Please?" He nodded again. "Just lie back and relax, okay?" He did as she asked and closed his eyes. Natalie leaned forward and ran her tongue across the tip of his penis. Nick jumped, gasped, grasped the sheets of the bed and let out a sound like a howl. He panted hard as Natalie put her mouth over the head of his penis and ran the tip of her tongue under his foreskin. She loved the feel and taste of him, even the taste of his bloody semen that occasionally leaked out of him due to his extreme arousal. Nick was tossing his head from side to side and moaning loudly, occasionally growling. Natalie pushed his foreskin back and began to suck on him vigorously as she stroked his shaft. Nick began to thrust and grunted with every push of his hips. As she sucked on him, Natalie thrust her tongue back and forth over the top of his glans driving Nick wild. He began writhing and moaning continually. Removing her mouth from him, she quickly slid her hand up along his shaft so that her stroking would rub his foreskin over his glans. With her other hand, she cupped his scrotum and began gently kneading it. Nick's growling turned to whimpering and Natalie knew he had reached his limit. "Now, Nick! Let yourself go!" Natalie cried out, encouraging him to come. Nick pulled his wrist to his mouth, bared his fangs with a savage snarl and viciously tore into his wrist. He sucked down his blood for all he was worth. While Natalie was watching him, she felt Nick's penis spasm hard. At that very moment, he ripped his fangs from his wrist and let out a loud, unearthly roar as his orgasm thundered through his body. His ejaculation was so forceful that his semen was propelled the length of his torso, splattering across his left shoulder and the pillow and sheet beyond. As Natalie kept stroking him, Nick moaned and cried out as his penis spasmed twice more in rapid succession after the first spasm, ejaculating two smaller amounts of semen that landed on his belly. Reaching out, he grabbed Natalie by the forearms and pulled her up the length of his body, hugging her tightly to him. He buried his face in her neck and she could feel him kissing, nibbling and licking her. She wasn't afraid and hugged him to let him know. He responded with subdued little murmurs and lovingly caressed her back and hair. Five minutes later, Nick moved his head so his lips were near Natalie's ear and whispered, "That was the most incredible, fantastic, awesome lovemaking I've ever experienced in all my 800 years. Thank you, my beloved Natalie." Natalie lifted her head and looked into deep blue, smiling eyes that were filled with love. She kissed him ... a deep, cherishing kiss and returned his smile. "You're welcome, my precious knight. And thank you for the most wonderful, gentle lovemaking I've ever experienced." "So, I pleased you, did I?" Nick smirked. Natalie laughed and playfully slapped his chest. "Like you really need to ask!" Nick laughed softly and kissed her. They lay entwined together for a long while, just cuddling and kissing. Then Nick said, "I don't know about you, but I really need a shower. And the bed linens need changing. It seems I've made quite a mess." He had a sheepish look on his face. Natalie sat up and looked at herself. She had bloody streaks all over the front of her. "Hmmmm ... looks like I could use one, too." Nick sat up next to her and said, "You know, we really must do this again very soon." "Absolutely!" Natalie replied with a big grin and they went into the bathroom together to shower. The End
