Chapter Four

Sherl tried to open her eyes. She groaned as she felt the aching all over her body. She reached down and pressed a hand between her legs. It felt as if the pain would never go away. Tears came into her eyes as she remembered what she had been through. She wished she had never woken up.

A light flicked off in the bathroom. She saw Nick emerge into the bedroom. He approached her.

"Get the fuck away from me!" she cried and scurried to the far corner of the bed, covering her nudity with the sheet.

"Sherl, I'm sorry," Nick said with a sincere look in his eye.

"Leave me alone!" she cried. Nick moved to her side of the bed. He wrapped his arms around her struggling body. He hushed her until she calmed down. Her body shook as she wept.

"I'm so sorry about what he did to you," Nick said, nuzzling his nose into her hair.

"You didn't do anything to stop it. You helped him," she whimpered.

"I know. I don't have the courage to stand up to him. He does the same thing to me," Nick whispered.

"Why do you let him?" Sherl cried softy.

"I don't know. All I can say is that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I let him rape you. I'm sorry I raped you. We violated you in the worst possible way," Nick said as tears came to his eyes. Sherl didn't reply. Her sobs eventually subsided.

She wiped the tears from her face, "You know the worst part about it," she said. " I was a virgin. I've never been with a man before."

"Oh God," Nick said. His body shook with his cries of shame.

"Nothing can be done about that now," she said. She unwrapped herself from Nick's embrace and lay back down. She ran her hands over her body, feeling the wounds Kevin had left. Streaks of dry blood remained on her skin. The gold chains still encircled her body. She got up to go to the bathroom. Her knees buckled under her from weakness. Nick picked her up and laid her back on the bed.

"Let me help you,' he said. Sherl looked into his eyes. She could only find sorrow and sincerity. She realized that Nick might be her only saving grace in this horrible ordeal. She nodded and Nick went into the bathroom to draw a bath. He came back as the tub filled and removed the delicate chains from her. He put one arm under her knees and one under her shoulders. He carried her into the bathroom and placed her gently in the tub. The herbal aroma of the bath filled her senses and she closed her eyes, enjoying the heat of the bath. Nick washed the blood from her body. She winced every time he brushed a bite mark. He ran the sponge up her calf and over her knee. He stopped at her thigh.

Sherl nodded an approval and Nick brushed the sponge lightly between her legs. She let out a cry since even the slightest touch enflamed her bruised flesh.

"Why is he letting you do this?" she asked.

"Because he thinks I'm fucking your brains out right now," Nick said, matter of factly.

"That's a lovely way to put it," Sherl said. It was the first time she had been able to laugh in ages.

"Seriously, though. Sherl I'm going to try to help you and maybe help myself also," Nick said. She just gave him a curious look.

"Kevin plans on killing you," Nick said.

Tears welled up in Sherl's eyes, "Why didn't he just do it last night?"

"I'm not going to let him. I'm going to get both of us out of here," Nick said.

"I have ways of making you recover. I think Howie was trying to tell me last night that it was possible for me to leave Kevin," Nick said. Sherl only nodded. She didn't know what to say. She knew nick was her only hope.

"What do we do?" she asked.

"We have a few hours before sundown. I cannot leave before then. Meanwhile, I'm going to make you well," Nick said. He pulled a towel down and helped Sherl out of the tub. He dried her off softly and helped he back into the bedroom.

"Nick? How are you going to make me well?" she asked, afraid of the answer.

"You have to drink from me," Nick said quietly. Sherl's eyes widened.

"Don't make me a vampire, please. I'd rather die," Sherl cried.

"No, that is not how a vampire is made. My blood will be enough to strengthen you," nick said.

"Okay," Sherl said, her voice shaking.

"First, let's heal these wounds, "He said. "Trust me." Sherl nodded.

Nick forced his fangs to emerge and bit into his tongue. He tasted his blood, sweet and cold. He started at her shoulder. Touching the blood to the wound, he let it seep in. The bite mark slowly disappeared. He continued this along her body until she was fully healed.

Nick looked up into her eyes. He wanted to kiss her badly. Moving to get closer to her, he accidentally brushed his hand against her center. She winced in pain. He had forgotten about the thrashing that Kevin had given her.

"Do you want me too?" Nick asked in a whisper.

Sherl thought about it for a moment. "Yes," she answered. Nick drew her knees up and spread her thighs open. Her opening was delicate like a rose. He bent down and dipped his tongue into her. She drew in a sharp breath. He only wanted to heal her. He nudged his lips against the soft folds of flesh and attempted to lick away the pain. Nick wrapped his arms around her thighs as she tangled her fingers into his hair.

Nick knew she was healed but he didn't move from his place. He pushed his tongue against her clitoris. He felt his manhood rise. When she gave no protest, he took the tiny bud between his lips and gently sucked on it. He heard soft whimpers escape her lips. His bloodlust mounted as he continued sucking and licking at her.

Nick let out a groan and moved up her body. She shivered at touch of his cold skin. Even though his eyes almost shone yellow and she could see the curl of his white fangs, she wasn't afraid. "Sherl, let me show you what it's supposed to be like. Let me show you how it is with a man and not a monster," he whispered.

"But you're not a man," she whispered back.

"That doesn't matter," he said giving her a deep kiss. He moaned when he felt her gentle fingers caress him. He laid his cock between her legs and slid it up and down against her hot little center. Nick took hold of his manhood and pushed the head against her. It became wet from the moisture that was beginning to seep out of her.

"Not yet," he said and moved down to suckle on her breasts. He buried his face between their sweet warmth. He massaged her nipples with his tongue until her whimpers became moans of pleasure. The hairs on the back of her neck rose as his fingers petted the bare skin between her legs. His fingertip found her clitoris again. He rolled it between his thumb and forefinger, sending shock waves through her body.

"Nick, please," she begged.

"Shhh," he said, laying a finger to her lips. "You'll never have to beg me for anything." He plunged into her searing heat. He withdrew almost all the way and plunged into her again. Kevin was right about one thing, Nick's size was impressive and he filled her completely. Every time he buried himself inside her, Sherl could feel it all the way to the pit of her stomach. She wrapped her legs around Nick, pulling him closer to her body.

Nick loved every minute when he was with a woman. He felt a need to protect her, surround her. His arms entwined around her waist, embracing her as he came into her. It was an eruption, a release of his pent up frustration with what he had become. Sherl could feel him thumping inside her.

Knowing she had not climaxed yet, Nick continued to rock against her. He reached down to fondle her and bring her to orgasm. Her nether lips swelled and pulsated along his shaft that was still hard. Nick couldn't believe it as the knot in his balls tightened again. Sherl felt the same sensation building somewhere inside her. A tidal wave was coming and it would break any minute. Nick gave one final desperate push and ground his torso into hers. He let out a cry as he spent into her for a second time. His orgasm was intensified as her sheath rippled along his length and her body shook under him. Sherl tried to catch her breath as the waves throttled her body. She flushed and broke out into a light sweat. She gasped for breath as every ounce of energy left her body.
