The Dark Before the Dawn (Closed for Gladiator)

[The_gladiator]

He knew he would have a difficult time describing how her mouth felt on him. He was good with words, but this defied description. He tightened his grip in her hair, his body threatening to buck his hips and force himself deeper into her waiting, willing mouth. He barely held onto the reigns of his control.

She pleasured him how she seemingly did everything, with great skill and confidence. This was her appeal to him, the self confidence that without a doubt told him how much she wanted this and was enjoying it. He could have let her do this for as long as she would, until he exploded in her hot mouth, but Nicholas would never have it said that he was a selfish lover. She had requested him to be inside her, and he wanted that too. He wanted to plant himself so deep in her that she was truly his at least for that moment.

“Next time I will finish in your pretty mouth.” He said softly, giving the first hint that he intended this to happen again. “For now you have asked me to be inside you, a request that I will gladly fulfill for you.” He said gently urging her up so she laid atop him his lips finding hers again, kissing her with almost brutal force. He could feel her wetness sliding over him, but their heights were too different for her to ride him while he was kissing her so he pulled away and stood her still in his arms. “I will not have your back on the concrete, so we shall get creative with our positions. With that he lifted her onto the counter with a sink behind the bar. His hands spread her knees as he stepped between them, already taking his shaft into his hand beginning to tease her sex with the tip of himself.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory loved giving Nicholas head, and the only thing that ever could have gotten her to stop was the promise of having him fulfill her every need at that time. Quickly enough, he had her up in his strong arms.

She could feel the muscles corded there, against her thighs, as he lifted her, and ran her arms down them. She loved every inch of his body. It reminded her of steel. So strong and safe.

She continued to kiss him deeply, whimpering when he pulled away. Then he had the tip of his cock pressing against her wet heat and she moaned, opening her legs wider, silently begging him for more. When she felt him press slowly into her, she thought it might be her undoing. Her entire body quivered in longing for more and her hands scratched lightly at his back and shoulders. Her head was thrown back in ecstasy as he pressed into her, then she leaned forward, kissing him deeply and locking her legs around his waist.

"Please Nicholas" she whimpered. "Give me all of you".

 

[The_gladiator]

He did not have long to regret that he had stopped her from pleasuring him, for he was soon sinking into a new heat, just as hot and welcoming. She was incredibly wet as he started to slide into her. The wetness easing his way for she was incredibly tight. He returned her kisses, bending over her as he pressed his hips forward.

His strong hands slid up and down her back. One slid to her hair taking control of the kiss, demanding submission, the other slid down to grip one of her firm ass cheeks holding her still as he pressed until he was fully inside her. He stopped there for a long moment letting her body adjust to his girth before he began to move. He fucked how he did everything, with grace and strength. He was a predator and she would know he was claiming her. His strokes were smooth and long, continuous but yet not hurried. He had always believed there was a difference between hard and fast fucking. There still could be force yet movement slow enough that she would feel every inch sliding in and out of her. She was his and soon she would learn that.

Yes she might have a boyfriend, but that was of no consequence to him. If he even let the bastard live, he would not be a problem much longer. He had not expected her to give herself to him so quickly, but he would treasure this moment like the gift it was.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory felt him slide completely in and had never felt more satisfied in her life. She fit around him like a glove, and he filled her completely. She shuddered in ecstasy as he began to move within her. The way he fucked her was forceful, and yet tender.

His hand was in her hair, pulling slightly, controlling her movement, and she was more than willing to submit to him. She loved the way he took over, demanded what he wanted, and yet she never felt threatened.

Thoughts of Curt were nowhere near her mind at that point in time. She didnt know it yet, but she was becoming his, mind and body. She was already growing attached, semi-dependent on him, at least mentally.

His strokes became more powerful, and she felt her body quivering in delight. "Nicholas.." she whimpered, her lips still plastered to his.

She felt as if she might explode from the pleasure

 

[The_gladiator]

He pulled her still closer, pounding into her still deeper wanting her to feel even more. He wanted to claim her, make her his, bond them together, feel her feeding from him, but it was too soon, she woulda not be ready yet. He had to live in the moment.

He kissed her again and again before pulling back to get a different angle as he began to pick up his pace, his eyes locking with hers deep penetrating, wanting to shower her his pleasure, wanted to see her pleasure as she went over the edge. His gaze practically dared her to look away so intense was it. "Give yourself to me, cum for me." He ordered, tone implacable giving her no option but to obey him. He wanted to watch her cum apart at his command.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

When Nicholas pulled away and looked into her eyes, it was almost Rory's undoing. His gaze was so fierce, his eyes smoldering like blue flames. The new position called him to go even deeper than before and Rory's body convulsed at the pleasure. She was holding out, trying to wait for him.

But then his eyes locked with hers, and he directed her to cum. There was no denying that command. The dominance in his voice, the way he said it as if it was expected, there was no resisting it. Her world shattered into a million pieces as her body gave over to what it was longing so desperately for. She felt herself clamp down upon his hard cock, trying to milk him for everything he was worth.

Her fingers scratched uselessly at his body, trying to find something to grab ahold of, to ground her body, as she felt like she was flying away and pure bliss. It was uselss, though. There was no holding herself down. She flew in ecstasy, screaming softly, the orgasm more powerful than any she had ever felt before.

 

[The_gladiator]

Nicholas watched her body come apart for him. It was poetry in motion, the notes of her pleasure filling the air in soft screams. It pleased him that she would obey him even in this. She seemed to feed off him, in a feedback loop of pleasure.

She scored her pleasure on his body, tattooing her joy in small scratches as she struggled to find something to hold onto to hold her back. He merely continued to move, not allowing her relief from the waves of pleasure.

His own control lasted through her orgasm, though it was an effort. As she started to come down he let his control go. He finally gave into the milking fire of her pussy. His hands held her still, where he wanted her. One hand on her hip pulling her into his final thrusts as the waves started. The other hand buried deep in the waterfall of her hair, not allowing her to turn away, wanting her to see him come apart for her, to see what pleasure her body gave him.

As his body finished emptying himself inside her, as far and deep as he could get he lowered his mouth to hers taking her mouth again in a surprisingly gentle kiss, no longer so aggressive, sated.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory had never felt so utterly sated. She wasn't sure she could move even if she tried. But then Nicholas grasped her hip and her hair, and he began to empty himself into her. Rory couldn't hold back the moan of pleasure at the feeling of him coming apart inside of her.

The force that he came with was just as intense as the way that he had fucked her. He held her firmly as he continued to thrust within her as he reached his orgasm.

Then, when he was finally done, he reached down and kissed her, more gently than he had ever kissed her before. Her mind was still reeling from her mind-blowing orgasm, and she was still breathing heavy. Her eyes sought his, and she smiled slowly up at him.

"Wow..." she murmured softly, then laughed at how that one word was not nearly strong enough to explain what she was feeling.

 

[The_gladiator]

His laugh was low and wicked as all she could say was wow. "You little one are something special." He said softly reaching to the sink beside her. Producing a clean towel he wet it and gently began to clean her, hands gentle between her legs as he lifted her down when he was done. He had made no move to dress until he was finished taking care of her. He displayed no modestyy.

He finally bent to hand her her clothes. "Was that my bonus for helping to clean up?" He teased a twinkle in his eyes as he began to pull on his own clothes.

He swept her into his arms again, just because he could, just to touch her.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory was astounded when he began to clean her, after they were finished. No man had ever done anything of the sort for her. It was such a tender, intimate thing to do.

"I was thinking it was more MY bonus" she said giggling as he sat her back on her feet. His arms encircled her once more, pulling her close to him and she sighed. It felt so right to be in his arms like that.

She felt exhausted, physically and emotionally. She was completely drained from everything she had experienced that night, paired with the fact that she had just had the most mind-blowing sex of her life.

 

[The_gladiator]

He could sense her tiredness. She had been through so much. He couldn’t help but to chuckle about her claim that that was her bonus. “Marcus would certainly prefer that to actually spending the money he promised.” He rubbed her back as he spoke, “I’ll make sure he doesn’t weasel out of his promises though. He wanted to tell her if she was his money would no longer be a problem for her. However, he didn’t think this was the time or place to make such an offer, or demand.

He began to guide her from the room, his eyes resting on the counter briefly, a slight smile on his face. Yes indeed, he would never look at that bar the same way again. He wordlessly steered her to an elevator. Once inside he hit a button and the car began to drop. He was unsure what to say, normally words came to him easily he normally did everything with supreme confidence, however even he had to admit there was a touch of awkwardness creeping in. He finally broke the silence. “You are sore, I can see the limp in how you walk, you have been on your feet for hours, and I will draw you a bath.” The words were more than an offer, but not quite an order. He drew her protectively under his arm. He was not ready to let her go, not ready to let her get lost in her thoughts and possibly regret what they had just done.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory laughed quietly when he mentioned not letting Marcus slip out of giving her her money. It seemed like exactly something Marcus would try to do. He was such a slimeball. She didn't deny being extremely tired. What was the point in denying it? She was sure he could tell the truth even if she did try to lie.

Laurie followed willingly, not sure where they were going, but not sure that she even cared. The went down an elevator, and he mentioned drawing her a bath so she could rest her ankle. This piqued her interest a little bit. She glanced over at him and gave him a gentle smile.

"where are we going? " she asked him. Obviously he was not planning on her going back to her trailer with Curt. The idea of him drawing her a bath there, in front of her boyfriend, was enough to make her giggle. She explained to Nicholas what her thoughts had been, when he gave her an odd look for laughing over nothing.

 

[The_gladiator]

She abruptly giggled and he looked a bit puzzled, inwardly hoping she wasn’t mocking his request to draw her a bath. When she explained he too smiled, “Yes, I am pretty sure he would not be so pleased with that, even if I would find humor in it.” His expression sobered, “No, I will see Curt once I have finished taking care of you and see you to sleep.” His words were matter of fact, implacable the tone suggesting that this would happen, no matter what she thought about it. “If he is not stupid, I will let him live. If he gives me too much trouble, well, I have heard rumors that hogs will eat anything.” This last was a sort of joke, but yet there was an undertone that suggested there might be more truth to it than not.

Before she could answer they arrived at the floor he had chosen. He led her through a hallway that looked like it had come straight out of a nicely appointed hotel. He did not explain that since they were vampires they would build their penthouse underground, figuring that the room would speak for itself when they got there.

He placed his palm to a scanner beside the door, punching in a combination. He then reached to open the heavy Oak door, gesturing her to enter the room ahead of him. He moved past her to go to the bathroom to begin drawing her a bath.

The room he left her in was an open entryway, with a high ceiling and open feel. To her left was a small kitchenette, in front of her an open living room, with a large television. The television looked as if no one used it, judging by the slight layer of dust on it. However it was the only dusty place that she could see. The stereo system beside the television on the other hand looked spotless and used often enough. There was a guitar laid out on a foot stool for a large arm chair. That was the one thing in the room that seemed out of place. Everything else was neat and tidy; it sat in bold defiance of the order.

Nicholas had headed forward and then to the right, passing through the large bedroom, with its large king sized bed and ceiling mosaic which was painted like the night sky. He had passed through into the bathroom with its marble interior, sunken in tub, and extra-large shower stall beside. There were two doors in the room, one leading to a closet, the other to where the toilet was. Vampires did not have such needs, so it was present for guests but unobtrusive.

Nicholas was bent over the tub, working with the curving spout to get the right temperature for the tub. He reflected that he usually found the room to be too much for his typical taste, but now that he had company, he was suddenly grateful for the luxury, he wanted to pamper her, because it was clear that it wasn’t something she’d ever experienced, or at least not experienced often.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory was startled at Nicholas's words. She had heard him say before that they would handle Curt, but she had thought that they had been joking. Or rather, she had been afraid to get her hopes up. She wasn't exactly sure what he meant by handling him... But in her mind he deserved whatever he had coming to him.

She followed Nicholas out of the elevator, an into an incredibly lush, luxurious, apartment. She noticed immediately that there were no windows, so they must be underground. She smiled to herself. She had so much to learn! She stifled yet another giggle. This one was borderline hysterical. What was she thinking!? Entering into this world that she had no idea about. What was she getting herself into?

Her eyes traveled to where Nicholas had went through a door and into what looked like the most amazing bathroom she had ever seen. She could see the bathroom was through the bedroom, and her eyes locked on the humongous king size bed. She didn't know which one sounded better, bed or the relaxing bath that he was drawing.

He was bent over the bathtub, obviously getting it just perfect for her. She smiled. He was what she was thinking about when she was considering entering this world. Nothing short of Nicholas would get her to do this, but there was just something about him that she couldn't help but be infatuated with. And she felt blessed to have him show the same amount, or at least what she hoped was the same amount, of attraction back to her. She briefly wondered, why her? But pushed away the thought. It didnt matter.

Slowly she walked into the bathroom and hovered in the doorway, smiling at the care Nicolas was taking with the bath. "This is incredible" she said softly. "This is just yours? Or do others live here?"

 

[The_gladiator]

Nicholas looked up at her soft words, tinged with that hint of wonder. He shrugged. “It came to me when I bought the club.” He said for the first time revealing what she may have guessed, that he had hinted at, that he in fact was the owner, not just merely an employee. “It seems a bit much for just me, I use very little of it.”

He rose, the temperature just so, and let it continue to fill as he walked towards her. “I lived on the move for most of my existence, both with the band and otherwise.” There it was the first reminder that he was not exactly alive, hence his using existence rather than life to describe his time. “I have slept in caves, and in the lap of luxury.” He was unsure why he was telling her so much about his life, but it just seemed right. “I offered it to Byron and Melany, but half of the time they don’t even share a bed, and I didn’t want this to just be a pleasure palace for Byron’s conquests.” A slight chuckle at that, and his lieutenant’s strange relationship with his human servant. “His criteria for a partner truly are willing.” Even as he spoke he was undressing her, helping her back out of her clothing. He couldn’t keep his eyes off of her. Even though he had just had her he still found himself drawn to her, wanting more, wanting her all over again.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory found herself listening intently as Nicholas explained the play said he called him currently. He was the owner of the club. She was surprised at this news, even though she had thought that he was something more than a band member, she had not known that he owned the club completely.

She smiled at his joke about Byron. Then he was stripping her clothes off of her, so that she did not have to do a single thing. His touch was tender, his gaze intimate. She allowed herself to be stripped, a big change from earlier in the night.

Soon enough she stood before him in no clothes at all, and she felt her cheeks go pink. It was a lot different to be caught up in the moment of passion, or to be dancing to music, and stripping. But now, she stood before him, and felt as if he could see through to her soul.

She took a step closer to him and laid her hand on his chest like she had done many times before. She looked up at him from beneath her lashes and smiled.

"You never told me that you owned the club" she said, no accusation in her tone, just curiosity. Her hands went down and grasped the bottom hem of his shirt and she slowly lifted it.

"You'll join me, right?"

 

[The_gladiator]

He allowed her to lift his shirt as he watched her. Her hands looked good against his skin, caressing his body.

"I try to keep a low profile." He explained, "It sometimes is safer for all." His eyes studied her face. He didn't need to explain then how he had gotten her hired. "A lot of people assume that Jacob Louis is the owner, and he is in part an owner, but he mainly only gets involved if there's a major problem during the day."

He allowed her to undress him smiling, silently agreeing to her half request, half demand that he join her, greatful for the invitation, he did not want to impose everything on her.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory continued to undress Nicholas... her fingertrips touching every part of his body that she revealed. She marveled over how utterly flawless his body was. She knew many women who would be jealous of a body like this... and even more who would kill to be with a man like him.

After he was completely naked, she smiled, and gingerly stepped into the huge tub. The temperature was absolutely perfect. Hot enough to soothe, but not hot enough to burn. Immediately her sore muscles relaxed and she sighed, closing her eyes.

The water lapped enticingly right at her perky nipples. "Coming in?" She asked coyly, peeking up through one eye. She wondered briefly if he ever got sore muscles, while she watched him get in.

"Can i ask some... erm... stupid questions?" She finally said, giving voice to her curiosity.

"I obviously know what you eat... but what about other... um... human functions? Sleeping? Do you get fatigued?"

 

[The_gladiator]

he watched her get into the water, watched the way it lapped at her nipples. He in that moment was greatful that he had only went with bath salts, rather than bubbles, he wouldn't want anything to spoil that perfect view. He sank into the water. His own mass causing the water level to rise enough that it covered her breasts, and she would need to lean back to expose them again.

He reached out to take her hand in his, compelled to touch her. It was all he could do not to sweep her into his arms, seat her on his lap, she needed to relax first, allow the water to soothe tired muscles. He looked down at their fingers twined together as he seemed to consider her questions. "I can sleep like a human, although it is not the rest my people need. If I have not eaten enough yes of course I can be tired. I can lose my temper and display all such emotions, of course." he considered her, "I rise earlier than many of my kind, and do not sleep as soon after dawn as some." This was of course due to his power level, although he often did not fight the demands of his body and would allow himself to sleep the sleep of vampire kind at the same time as his other people, hiding his power levels. "Being underground helps with that."

After another pause he responded, "Fatigue doesn't work exactly the same way but as you saw with Byron, we can be injured and not at full strength."

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory took in everything that he was saying, listening carefully, trying her best to learn his ways. It was a whole new world for her, and she felt like she had so much to learn. He had taken her hand in his as he talked, and she smiled at the comfortable feeling that it gave her.

They sat in the quiet for a while, enjoying the warm water, the Epsom salt working It's Magic on her sore body. She was starting to feel as good as new.

Eventually she spoke... "So you mean to tell me that I just fucked my boss back there on the bar? Did I at least earn a promotion??" She laughed, showing him that she was just teasing with him.

"I've never felt so relaxed in my life" she said with a soft smile.

 

[The_gladiator]

He actually laughed at her words, finally giving in and letting more of his guard down. “What, being lover to the boss isn’t enough promotion for you?” he asked, tugging her hand until she was under his shoulder, his arm lifting to slide around her shoulders. “I know a few that have been trying for months to be where you sit now.” He let his cheek rest on the top of her head for a moment. “I might be able to make you a bar tender, so you have to work right there and always remember that moment when you came apart in my arms.” His sudden grin was wicked. “All the others would be able to smell your constant arousal.” Was he actually teasing her?

“I too feel much more relaxed than is normal for me. Apparently you are dangerous to a man’s inhibitions and good sense. Do you know how many lectures I’ve given Marcus about “relating” so intimately with employees?” he chuckled, “Won’t that bastard love to have the last laugh on that one?” As he spoke he pulled her legs into his lap with his free hand, turning her in the water so his arm was still around her but she was more at a right angle to him, her full right breast pressed to his chest. His right hand dropped to her ankle and gently began to massage it beneath the water. As he touched her, he made no effort to hide the renewed erection pressing to the outside of her thigh. There was nowhere to hide it in the water, and he bore no shame for his desire for her, considering it one of the highest compliments he could pay her, wanting her again so soon after they had been together, showing her how much he wanted her.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory smiled as he commented on her being a bartender. "I wouldn't want them to all be distracted by the smell of my arousal" she commented, thinking that he probably wasn't far from the truth. Already, the thought of it was causing her nipples to grow hard with want.

He shifted their positions and began to massage her ankle, making her moan softly in pleasure. She rested her head on his strong chest. The thought of other's wanting to be in her position was enough to cause a surge of jealousy to sweep through her. She had never been a jealous person before, but something about Nicholas brought out that reaction in her.

She could feel his erection pressing against her and smiled to herself. Already he was ready for round two... which was just fine with her. She wiggled her hips a bit, causing her thigh to rub against him, allowing her fingertips to trail slowly down from his hair to his neck, and shoulders, a not so subtle hint that she was ready as well.

 

[The_gladiator]

He caught the sudden flash of jealousy in her eyes but said nothing. If her presence in his tub was not evidence enough that he desired her, not the others, he was unsure how to convince her. He merely kept massaging her leg, moving to a lighter stroke, gently teasing up the smoothness of her inner leg, until his hand passed her knee, fingertips tracing circles on her inner thigh.

She rested her head on his chest for a moment until she became aware of his desire, and she moved her leg, gently rubbing her smooth skin over the sensitive underside of his shaft. In response he slid his hand up to cup the warmth of her mound, fingers gently exploring. even as he touched her he could feel her fingertips touching, exploring him, a silent invitation.

He dipped his head to capture her mouth in a deep kiss even as his fingertips continued to explore her center.

 

[isolemnlyswear89]

Rory felt him stroke his way up her inner thigh, until his fingers were brushing her mound, and she moaned again, louder this time. She reached out and began to stroke him with her hand softly, moving from the base of his shaft to the head of it, her touch feather light, almost tickling.

She felt his fingers begin to probe her softly, and opened her legs up wider to give him better access. The kiss he gave her was hot and filled with desire, erasing any jealous feelings she may have been having. It was evident that he wanted her, and nobody else.

She wrapped her hand completely around his hard length and began to stroke, slowly, up and down. He was already rock hard. She ran her fingertips down and lightly brushed against his balls, unsure if that would please him or not, gauging his response, before moving back up to his straining cock.

Their tongues tangled, and she slowly turned in his arms, swinging her legs over so that she was straddling him now, his cock teasing her hot center. She leaned in and kissed him again, deeper this time, while still stroking him with her hand between her legs. She gyrated her hips slowly, letting his cock brush ever so slightly against her pussy, smiling, enjoying the teasing moment.

 

[The_gladiator]

The hint of jealousy was swept away by the possessiveness of his kiss, demanding, wanting her. He gasped into the kiss as he felt her hand brush feather light over his erection, barely touching him more than the water did.

He let out a low moan as her hand moved down to cup his balls. She was rewarded by another gasp as she stroked him more fully this time.

Dark eyes watched her as she shifted positions so she was straddling him. Her hand never stopping its movement on him even as his tip brushed at her sex. He bent his head to her left breast, drawing the nipple into his mouth, tongue swirling, teeth scraping. He wanted her, and it was quickly growing clear that she wanted him as much.

“Do it.” He urged in a low tone, rolling his eyes up to meet hers even as he continued to tease her breasts. Two words, but a request, an order, a demand, a plea, all in those two words. He wanted her to take that next step. He could have dropped a hand to line himself up, could have tugged her down onto his cock, but he wanted this, wanted herself to give herself to him, take that step.

He had slid his hands to her bottom when she had turned so the only thing touching her core was the head of him, teasing, so close.
