Vampires Don't Give Love Bites Part Twenty Nine
The scent of sage and lavender hung thick in the air as Lily stirred a bubbling cauldron, her mother's quiet chanting a soothing backdrop to the morning's work. Sunlight streamed through the shop's front windows, catching motes of herb dust that danced like fairy lights.A jingle of bells announced another customer. Lily looked up to see a burly man with wild hair and amber eyes scanning the shelves nervously."Can I help you?" she asked, setting aside her wooden spoon.The shifter approached the counter, glancing furtively over his shoulder. "I need more of that protection balm," he muttered. "The strong stuff."Lily nodded knowingly. "Of course. I just finished a fresh batch this morning."As she reached for a jar on a high shelf, the shop door opened again. A familiar presence sent a shiver down her spine. Caspian strode in, all dark grace and wicked charm. His silver eyes locked onto Lily, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. He gave her a deliberate wink that made her he

The key scraped in the lock as Lily pushed open the door to her flat, the familiar scent of home washing over her. She flicked on the lights, casting a warm glow over the cozy space filled with an eclectic mix of modern furnishings and mystical artifacts."Living room's that way," she said, gesturing vaguely as she made her way to the kitchen. "Make yourselves comfortable. Or as comfortable as you can, given the circumstances. Don’t kill each other whilst my back is turned."Lily's hands trembled slightly as she reached for the whiskey bottle, the weight of the impending conversation settling in her chest. She paused, eyeing the amber liquid before grabbing the entire bottle and three glasses."Screw it," she muttered under her breath. "We're going to need more than just a splash each."As she entered the living room, she found Caspian and her mother seated at opposite ends of the sofa, the tension between them palpable. Caspian's silver eyes flickered to her, a mix of concern and cur

Lily's mother leaned forward, her eyes holding a mixture of pride and sorrow. "There's more," she said, her voice dropping to a near whisper. "While vampires are technically immortal and quite difficult to kill, Lily and I... well, we’re almost impossible to kill."The words sent a shiver down Lily's spine. She'd always known she was different, but hearing it stated so plainly made her feel suddenly alien, even in her own skin. She watched Caspian's face carefully, searching for any sign of fear or revulsion."It's one of the curses of our bloodline," her mother continued, her fingers tracing the rim of her whiskey glass. "There's a strong chance she would outlive you, Caspian."Lily's breath caught in her throat. She hadn't allowed herself to think that far ahead, to imagine a future where she might have to watch Caspian fade away while she remained eternally youthful. The weight of potential loss settled heavily on her chest.Her mother's face fell, a shadow of old pain crossing her

"There are other things too," she continued, her voice husky. "We can…""Astral projection," her mother interjected smoothly, her tone matter-of-fact. "The ability to separate our consciousness from our physical bodies and travel great distances."Lily blinked, momentarily thrown off balance. She'd almost forgotten that particular skill. "Right," she nodded, shooting her mother a grateful look. "And we can manipulate energy fields, create protective barriers…""And heal," her mother added softly. "Both ourselves and others, to an extent."The weight of these revelations hung heavy in the air, thick with unspoken implications. Lily could feel Caspian's gaze on her, intense and searching. She wondered what he was thinking, whether these truths would change how he saw her. The vulnerability of the moment was almost overwhelming, a stark contrast to her usual guarded demeanor. Lily's mother leaned forward, her eyes glinting with a mixture of pride and concern. "These abilities are extrao

"The next topic," her mother continued, her voice dropping to a near whisper, "is Gideon."Lily's breath caught in her throat at the mention of that name. Images flashed through her mind: piercing green eyes, a relentless pursuit, the constant fear of being hunted. She unconsciously leaned closer to Caspian, seeking comfort in his solid presence."Who is this Gideon? Other than a hunter?" Caspian asked, his arm tightening protectively around Lily.Lily closed her eyes, steeling herself. When she opened them, her gaze met her mother's, a silent communication passing between them. It was time to reveal another dangerous piece of her past, one that could change everything. Lily took a deep breath, the scent of old books and lingering magic filling her lungs. She turned to face Caspian, her fingers tracing nervous patterns on the worn leather of the armchair."Gideon Thorne," she began, her voice low and laced with a mix of regret and apprehension, "is a vampire I was... involved with wh

Lily's mother pursed her lips, her brow furrowing with concern. The room seemed to darken, shadows creeping in at the edges as she spoke the words Lily had been dreading to hear:"If he's here, we can assume he wants to force Lily into a bond again."A chill ran down Lily's spine, icy tendrils of fear gripping her heart. The warmth of Caspian's arms around her suddenly felt like a fragile shield against the looming threat. She closed her eyes, inhaling his comforting scent of sandalwood and spice, trying to ground herself in the present moment."No," Lily whispered, her voice barely audible. "I won't let him."But even as the words left her lips, doubt gnawed at her. Memories of Gideon's relentless pursuit flooded her mind - his obsessive determination, the predatory glint in his eyes. She shuddered, remembering how close he'd come to succeeding last time.Caspian's grip tightened protectively. "I won't let him near you," he growled, a dangerous edge to his voice. Lily's mother sighe

Lily's mother cleared her throat softly, drawing their attention back to her. Her eyes, so like Lily's own, held a mixture of concern and resignation as she spoke."From what Lily has told me," she began, her voice measured and careful, "I believe it is very likely you two are destined mates."The words hung in the air, heavy with implication. Lily felt her breath catch in her throat, her heart thundering against her ribcage. She glanced at Caspian, searching his face for a reaction.His expression was inscrutable, but his hand tightened almost imperceptibly around hers. Lily could feel the tension radiating off him in waves, could almost taste the conflicting emotions swirling beneath his carefully controlled exterior."Destined mates," Caspian repeated, his voice low and thoughtful. "I've heard whispers of such bonds, but I never..." He trailed off, his gaze locked with Lily's.Her mother's voice cut through her jumbled thoughts. "It's rare, but not unheard of. It’s been centuries s

"Well, well," her mother said, her eyes twinkling. "It seems you've let go of your reservations, haven't you, dear?"Heat rushed to Lily's cheeks as she nodded, acutely aware of Caspian's hand still resting on her knee. She glanced at him, noticing the confusion etched on his handsome features."What do you mean?" Caspian asked, his brow furrowed.Lily's mother settled into her armchair, her gaze moving between the two of them. "The reason Lily smelled so strongly of you earlier, Caspian, isn't just because you marked her. You've claimed her, instinctively, when you stopped fighting the bond."Lily felt a tremor run through Caspian's body, his grip on her knee tightening ever so slightly. She placed her hand over his, offering silent reassurance."And now," her mother continued, her voice soft but intent, "Lily has stopped fighting it too. She's claimed you in return."The air in the room seemed to thicken, charged with an electric tension that made Lily's skin prickle. She turned to

The soft glow of pre-dawn light filtered through the curtains, casting shadows across Lily's sleeping form. She stirred, her eyelids fluttering open as the insistent beeping of her alarm pierced the quiet. With a groan, she reached out to silence it, her fingers brushing against cool skin."Good morning, little witch," Caspian murmured, his silver eyes gleaming in the dim light. Lily shivered, memories of the night before flooding back. "Is it morning already?" she asked, her voice husky with sleep."I'm afraid so," he replied, running a hand through his tousled dark hair. "Time waits for no one, not even us."She sighed, reluctantly pushing herself up. "I suppose I should get ready for work." As Lily swung her legs over the side of the bed, Caspian's hand caught her wrist. "Allow me to make you coffee while you shower," he offered, his thumb tracing circles on her skin. A small smile tugged at Lily's lips. "How domestic of you," she teased.Caspian's eyes flashed with amusement. "

Before she could prepare herself, he plunged two fingers deep inside her. Lily's back bowed off the bed, a strangled cry escaping her lips as pleasure crashed through her body. Caspian's fingers curled forward, seeking out every sensitive spot within her velvety depths."Oh," Lily gasped, her hands fisting in the sheets. Her mind reeled, caught between the physical sensations and the lingering fantasies Caspian had woven.He worked his fingers with expert precision, alternating between slow, teasing strokes and quick, targeted movements. Each touch sent sparks of pleasure coursing through Lily's body, building a delicious tension in her core.Lily's eyes fluttered closed, overwhelmed by the onslaught of sensations. "Caspian," she moaned, her hips rocking against his hand. "Please...""Please what?" he asked, his tone both playful and demanding. "Tell me what you want, Lily. Let me hear those desires you've been holding back."She whimpered, caught between embarrassment and desperate n

He rolled to her side, his arms encircling her and drawing her close against his chest. Lily nestled into his embrace, her heart still racing, her breath coming in quick, shallow pants."Are you alright?" Caspian murmured, his fingers tracing lazy patterns along her spine.Lily nodded, unable to find her voice for a moment. When she finally spoke, her words were tinged with awe. "That was... I don't even have words for what that was."A low chuckle rumbled through Caspian's chest.As the afterglow settled over them, Lily found herself battling a mixture of emotions. Contentment warred with caution, desire with doubt. She'd allowed herself to be utterly vulnerable with Caspian, and while the experience had been transcendent, a part of her wondered if she'd crossed a line she could never uncross.Lily turned in Caspian's arms, her emerald eyes searching his face. The silver of his irises seemed to shimmer in the dim light, and she found herself momentarily lost in their depths. She swal

As the tremors of her climax subsided, Lily felt Caspian's lips begin their sensual journey back up her body. His silver eyes gleamed with predatory satisfaction as he traced a path along her heated skin, pausing to nip at the curve of her hip, the dip of her waist, the swell of her breast. Each touch sent aftershocks coursing through her, stoking the embers of her desire.When his mouth finally crashed into hers, Lily tasted the tangy sweetness of her own arousal on his tongue. The flavor was intoxicating, a heady reminder of the intimacy they'd just shared. She moaned softly into the kiss, her fingers threading through his dark locks."Mmm," Caspian hummed against her lips, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down her spine. "You taste amazing, Lilith. Like nectar and sin."Lily pulled back slightly, her emerald eyes searching his face. "I can taste myself on you," she whispered, a mix of embarrassment and arousal colouring her cheeks.Caspian's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Caspian rose from the bath, water cascading down his muscular form as he lifted Lilith effortlessly. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, her core pressed against his taut abdomen. Their lips remained locked in a passionate dance as he carried her towards the bedroom, leaving a trail of water droplets in their wake.Lily's heart raced, a mix of anticipation and nerves coursing through her veins. She broke the kiss, gasping for air, and buried her face in the crook of Caspian's neck. His scent enveloped her – a heady mixture of sandalwood and something uniquely him."Caspian," she breathed, her voice trembling slightly. "I've never...”He paused at the threshold of her bedroom, his silver eyes softening as they met her emerald gaze. "We'll go slow," he promised, his voice a velvet caress. "If at any point you want to stop, just say the word."Lily nodded, her fingers tracing the strong line of his jaw. "I trust you," she repeated, the words carrying more weight than she'd a

Slowly, Lily's eyes opened, her gaze immediately drawn to Caspian's face. Her breath caught in her throat as she met his intense stare. There was something different, something... primal in his expression. It was then that she noticed them - gleaming white fangs extending past his lips, sharp and dangerous. A thrill of fear and excitement shot through her, making her heart race anew."Caspian?" she whispered, her voice a mixture of awe and uncertainty. Her fingers trembled as she reached up to trace his jawline, torn between the urge to pull away and the desire to lean in closer.Caspian's eyes fell closed, his breathing still heavy as he pulled Lily tight against him. She nestled her head on his chest, feeling the rise and fall of each breath, listening to the thundering of his heart. The warm water lapped gently around them, creating a cocoon of intimacy."You smell amazing," Caspian murmured, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through his chest. His fingers tangled in her damp h

Caspian trailed one long finger up the side of her neck, his touch feather-light yet electrifying. Lily found herself instinctively tilting her head, offering him greater access. Her pulse quickened, and she knew he could sense it."Oh, Caspian," she breathed, her voice barely audible over the gentle lapping of the water. Her mind raced, torn between desire and the lingering echoes of their earlier conversation. The weight of her past, of their future, seemed to hover just beyond the steamy air of the bathroom.He hummed against her skin, the vibration sending shivers down her spine. "Yes, my dear?"Lily hesitated, caught between voicing her swirling thoughts and surrendering to the moment. The scent of sandalwood and something uniquely Caspian enveloped her, clouding her senses. She closed her eyes, focusing on the feel of his solid presence behind her, anchoring her to the present.Lily's resolve crumbled. The need that had been simmering beneath the surface all evening suddenly bla

The water lapped gently around them, creating a soothing rhythm that seemed to sync with their heartbeats. Caspian's fingers traced lazy patterns on her skin, sending shivers down her spine despite the warmth of the bath."Is that so?" he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear. "And here I thought you were just using me as a comfortable backrest."Lily chuckled, the sound rich and genuine. She tilted her head back, resting it on his shoulder to look up at him. "Well, you are rather comfortable. But I suppose the company isn't half bad either."Her emerald eyes locked with his, a spark of mischief dancing in their depths. The tension between them crackled, electric and alive, but there was no rush, no urgency. For once, Lily felt no need to be on guard, to analyze every word and gesture."Tell me something, Caspian," she said softly, her fingers intertwining with his beneath the water. "In all your years, have you ever felt... at peace like this?"The question hung in the air, we

The door clicked shut, leaving Lily and Caspian alone in the softly lit living room. Shadows danced across the walls, cast by flickering candles that filled the air with the heady scent of jasmine and vanilla. Lily exhaled slowly, her shoulders relaxing as she turned to face Caspian."I have to admit," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, "I did not expect my mother to take my relationship with a vampire this well." A wry smile played at the corners of her lips.Caspian's silver eyes gleamed in the dim light as he moved closer, his movements fluid and predatory. "Are you disappointed?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his smooth voice. "Did you hope for more drama?"Lily felt a shiver run down her spine as he approached, her skin tingling with awareness. She shook her head, red curls bouncing. "No, not disappointed. Just... surprised." Her gaze fell to his lips, then quickly darted away. "I've spent so long being cautious, always looking over my shoulder. It's strange to have s
