Escaping the Hunters

Home

I woke up the next morning, shifted in bed when I realized that Zander wasn't with me and I sat up and pushed off all the blankets. I got to my feet and ran my hands through my hair, feeling it tangled and out of sorts. I looked for my bag and saw that it was on a vanity in the room. I went to pick something new to wear since the clothes I was wearing was all wrinkled from sleep.

I found a short green summer dress, and since it was still so hot at night, I slipped it on and set the clothes I had been wearing in a small pile. I kept my shoes and socks off and went in search for Zander.

I got downstairs quickly, finding the kitchen empty, I moved closer to the front of the house before I saw a note.

Went to find you more artistic instruments. Blood is in the fridge, as well as the dinner Rosie left us.

~Z

I smiled at the note, turned on my heel and went back to the kitchen and set to work on warming up the enchiladas. I was half way through my third one when Zander called my name from the front door.

"In the kitchen." I called out and moved to put his plate in the microwave. I hit the button to warm everything up. I had just turned to take another bite when he was in front of me, leaning down and giving me a bone melting kiss. I was pushed back until he lifted me onto the counter.

"What are you heating up?" He asked looking around when we heard the beeping.

"Your food." I said and licked my lips as he leaned in to give me another peck. "I am almost done." I told him when he went to grab his plate. I had put 4 on there knowing he was probably hungrier than I was.

"Go and see what's by the front door." He told me and rubbed my lower back when I just went to eat my food.

"I will wait for you." I told him and he shook his head, bringing my face to his with a simple tug of my arm and gave me a quick peck.

"Go." He whispered and I swallowed another bite before taking off into the foyer. Leaning against the wall near the door was three huge blank canvases, a wooden easel, there were three medium sizes and three small as well as four bags keeping them all upright.

I squatted and started to go through all the paints he bought. I had tears in my eyes as I got to the types of brushes. There were some kits so I would be able to blend the colors and a couple paint pallets a couple different sizes as well.

I heard Zander and I looked up from the floor to see him coming closer. He looked a bit worried and I wiped my face and smiled before sniffling. "It's too much." I told him and wiped my face again as I looked at it all. 

"It's what will make you happy. And I want you happy. I want you here Vivi. I want you to do what makes you happy. I want you to do the landscapes you are amazing at." He told me and I bit my lip and looked at all the colors before back up at him. "Come here." he held out his hands and I set mine in his. He pulled me up, grabbed my around my waist and lifted me higher so I could wrap my legs around his hips.

"Thank you." I whispered and held in a sob from out of nowhere and he leaned in again, snagging my lips and getting slightly rough with the kiss. I felt a rush of air around me and before I could pull away, Zander threw me onto his big bed.

"She's gone my love, what do you think about a little fun now?" He teased and I got to my knees, meeting him at the side of the bed.

"Is that all I am Zander?" I wanted to tease him. "A little bit of fun?" I asked and kissed the parts of his neck I could reach and he growled.

"You know that's not how I meant it." He told me and I felt his hands on my ass as he pulled me closer and I nipped over his collarbone. Before I realized what happened he had ripped the dress trying to get it off of me.

"What did you mean Zander?" I asked as he helped me get out of the now, torn, ruined dress.

"I love you Vivian." He looked over my face, waiting for my reaction.

"You do?" I asked on a whisper and he nodded. "Really? Not just saying that to get some?" I asked and he smirked before leaning in.

"I love you Vivi. I love that I can take care of you. I love that you don't really want gifts. I love that you are still covering yourself despite me loving you thoroughly." He leaned in, took my hands from my chest and I bit my lip and felt the blush n my cheeks and he laughed. "And I absolutely love that you are all mine." He scraped a fang over my n****e and I shuddered and grasped the back of his head and he chuckled before licking over the slight sting he left behind.

"You love me." I believed it. I smiled and ran my hands through his hair as he repeated the pain of the fang on my other n****e. "Zander... you love me." I whispered and he lifted his head, gave me a slow kiss, his fangs retreated.

"I do. With all my heart." He chuckled and kissed me again. 

"Really?" I watched him nod and I lifted our hands so he had one on my heart, the other around my waist keeping me closer. "Good, because I've loved you since you killed a man for touching me." I told him and he growled loudly. "I love you Zander." I whispered when he came in closer.

"Now, you want to be on top again, or do you want to try more?" He asked and I felt his hand caressing my ass and I gulped hard and thought about it.

"What's your favorite?" I asked and he smirked.

"Everything with you will be my favorite... but lets try this." He lifted me again, setting me on the bed on my knees and I watched him lay back and I waited for instructions, feeling slightly insecure. "Straddle my face love."

"How-" I yelped when the grabbed one leg, the other going around my hips and had me facing away from his body. I started to feel even more insecure as he made my arms reach forward on the bed, with his head between my thighs.

"You will tell me when you are about to cum." He ordered and I just nodded and gulped as his face went down, his eyes the only thing peeking out from the apex of my legs. I felt his tongue on my clit and I gasped and squeezed the mattress.

"Oh god." I moaned out as he kept licking. He hummed as his tongue licked over my slit and I started to pant. He did a long lick and I moaned and licked my lips because they seemed too dry. I was panting and moaning and when I looked back down to him, his eyes were watching me. I arched my hips and cursed. "f**k Zander... I'm going to cum." I whispered and grabbed his hair tightly and he made a sound before he somehow pushed two fingers inside me.

I screamed out his name as he curled his fingers and I knew he was trying to make it overwhelm me... and he was doing a great job at it. I collapsed forward, gasping and rubbing my clit against his tongue. "Fuck." I whispered over and over again as he kept up with the tongue swirls and his fingers curling. "Zander..."

"c*m baby. I wanna taste you." He growled out and I felt a fang over my thigh before his tongue was back on my clit. He sucked it into his mouth and I chanted his name and just let myself go like he had told me to do before. I felt utter ecstasy wash over me.

I was still grabbing the mattress when he pulled himself from under me. "Oh god." I muttered when I felt his c**k sliding between my p***y lips and I clenched and leaned down to rest my forehead.

"f*****g delicious. f*****g sexy." I felt him pushing in, I moaned and spread my legs a bit wider when he started out with shallow thrusts. "All mine." He pushed in hard, making me gasp at the intrusion but it felt so good. I moaned at the next hard thrust and started to feel him touching something deep inside and I started to push back on instinct to keep that feeling going.

"More Zander." I wanted to c*m again. I loved the feeling of him making me c*m. He tightened his hold on my hips, his thrusts got faster and harder. "Yes." I moaned out long and hard when he moved his hand around my right him, over my clit and he strummed it like a guitar and I screamed out again, cumming around his c**k and I stopped myself and bit the mattress.

"So f*****g tight love." I heard him as he pushed in deep. I felt his c**k twitching inside me, he was shooting his c*m into me again. He said last time that he should have pulled out, but honestly I didn't care.

I closed my eyes for a second, and when I opened them he was cradling me close. He hummed and I sighed. "I love you." I whispered and he ran his hands over my stomach, pulling me closer to his front and I turned.

"I love you more." He kissed my neck and I nuzzled my way into his chest. He hiked one of my legs over his hips and I licked my lips as he pulled me over him. "My personal blanket."

"Now what?" I asked him lifting my head and he smirked at me and ran a finger up and down my spine.

"Now we can shower, do it in the shower, we can go down and do it in the kitchen, and I can watch you paint a landscape and try really hard not to get paint everywhere... or, we can take a few more rounds here on the bed." He told me and I just hummed in thought. I really didn't want to leave the bed.

I moved the leg he hiked over his hips up a little more, straddling him and I laid fully on him. "How about a couple more rounds here in bed. And then we can do something fun tonight."

His eyes turned red and I wondered when and how dark they looked when they took on a red glow too. He took over at first, then I grabbed his hands and held them tight, too tight when I was cumming. Zander took hold of my hips as he came and kept himself inside again, rubbing my clit again and again making me scream out in utter bliss.

I let my body drape over his. Utterly spent after another 2 rounds and 4 orgasms I fell asleep.

I woke up to Zander kissing my neck, scraping a fang over my shoulder and I giggled when I felt the light tips of his fingers on my rib cage.

"You could always invite your friends here too Viv." He whispered and kissed my neck and licking me.

"What friends?" I knew the minute his lips left my skin that I made a mistake. My mind came back and I shut my eyes in realization of what I said.

"All or any of your friends." He said and I licked my lips, grabbed the sheet and sat up.

"I need to tell you something." I whispered and when he tried to pull me back down I moved and simply grabbed his hand.

"What is it Vivian?" He asked and tried to pull me back in.

"I've lied to you.... and it's not just about the fact I have money." I told him and his eyes turned a slight red color and I looked away.

"What did you lie about?"

"I was the one who was found and followed by the Hunters. I had gone out for food and when I came back the entire building I lived in was vacated and they were in my apartment so I turned around and kept walking. I had heard about the vamp club and I knew I would be safe there since the Hunters had never found it." I pulled away from him, moved to the other end of the bed and brought my knees up.

"Then why did you lie about a friend?" His voice was a low growl and I gulped.

"I needed a phone. Mine was dead. I needed to get in touch with a friend that had helped set me up in New York." I told him and I bit my lip. "I have no idea how they followed me to the club, none of the Hunters had found me-"

"They found something personal of yours. Something a witch could track you with." He growled and I gulped. "Which means they can track you here." He was out of bed and in his closet faster than I could watch and I felt a couple tears fall before I went to my bag and grabbed some clothes. I pulled on a grey maxi dress and shoved the clothes from before in its place before tossing out the sandals.

"I'll just go." I whispered as I zipped up the bag. I looked over the room that had brought me so much joy before I went to get my shoes on.

I was downstairs when I heard a door slam and I walked a bit faster. I got to the gate and was grateful that it was dark out. I used my vampire speed to get a headstart and pushed myself up and over the large gate. I landed a couple feet in the street and I got a look around to make sure no one saw that.

When I was sure what way to go, I took off walking. I got to the end of the block before I felt an arm around my waist and I gasped and pushed my head back to try and headbutt the man behind me and didn't come in contact with anything. "Let me go." I whispered and felt my fangs drop.

"I don't think so." I relaxed only slightly against Zander as he turned back towards his place and he set me down but grabbed my wrist. "Get back to the house Vivi." He growled out, his eyes a deep dark red and I just kept my eyes to the floor as we walked back.

The gate was open when we got there and I waited for him to open the front door before standing there. "I can go." I told him and he threw something and cursed a string of words together.

"And where would you go Vivian? Back to New York? Italy? They can find you anywhere!" He shouted at me and I winced. "You are staying here, we are going to kill enough of those Hunters to know that they should leave you alone." He hissed out and I just gulped hard.

"This is about me. They killed my brother, they want me Zander. You don't have to-"

"Like hell I don't! I told you that I loved you VIvian! Does that not mean anything to you!?" He shouted and came closer and I pulled back just slightly and made sure not to look up at him.

"I lied to you. I put you in danger. They just want me."

"They will not get you!" He shouted and I felt the tears starting again. I made a quick wipe of my cheek and went for the other but they just kept leaking out. Zander grabbed my chin, forced my head up, took my head in his hands and used his thumbs to wipe the tears streaming down.

"I lied to you." I whispered and he leaned in, putting his forehead on mine and he kissed my nose.

"I don't care." He told me, but deep down I knew he didn't mean that.

"Yes you do. I made a club in New York shut down, you killed a guy in Nashville." I said and looked back up to him, his eyes were back to normal and I wondered if he had really calmed down or if he had just made a decision about me.

"What I care about is you Viv. I care about your happiness and protection. If you don't have either one... I am a failure. You're going to be mine Vivian. I love you, and I will do everything in my power, I will kill the witch the HUnters have tracking you. I will kill every Hunter I ever come in contact with if it means they leave you alone."

"I lied to you Zander. When I met you, when that other girl came to the apartment you said something how you broke up with her because she lied to you about her intentions." I told him and he nodded.

"Are you saying you lied about loving me back Vivi? Or were you just lying about the Hunters?" He asked me and I gulped.

"I love you Zander. I do, but I can't put you in danger if they are only tracking me-" He grabbed my face, stopping me from talking and I felt the sobs coming up and he shook his head.

"I love you Vivian Dunnage. I love your hair. I love your body. I love your sense of humor. I love your talents. I love your past and I want to be apart of your present and future. But for that to happen we have to get help from a witch." He clenched his jaw and looked away. "I just don't trust any witch."

"What about the one in New Orleans. Bianca. Does she have anyone she trusts?" I asked and he seemed to think about it before he bent, threw me over his shoulder and ran up the stairs. "Put me down." I screeched when he started to take them two at a time. "You know this hurts right?" I asked as he got back to his room and he tossed me on the bed.

"Stay." He pointed at the bed and I tossed my shoes off and sat cross legged as he got on his phone and started to make calls. He was talking back and forth between Bianca and some guy named Jesse.

I watched him for two hours until he had Bianca on her way, Jesse promising to come as soon as he was out of a meeting. I was laying on his pillow and had pulled the blankets back up around me. He went into the bathroom, called my name and I pushed everything off of me and trotted into the bathroom. "Yes?"

"Come here." He told me as he turned on the shower. I walked towards the counter he told me would be mine and I leaned against it. "Get naked." He growled and I saw him taking off his shirt and all I could do was watch. He didn't like that. He clicked his tongue and walked closer to me, taking hold of the back of the dress, tugged and ripped the back seem. "Should have gotten naked." He laughed when I had to let the dress fall in pieces.

"It wasn't mine... but you have to be nicer to my clothes. I only have so many." I told him and he narrowed his eyes slightly before leaning in.

"Tomorrow, when Bianca comes, we will go out to the mall, and you can get whatever kind of wardrobe you like. You see the other half of the closet is empty." He nodded to the wall of nothing and I nodded but shrugged.
