Darkest Memories

by April Hackett

Chapter 8


 

After a couple hours of sleep, Nicholas began to slowly awaken. Feeling groggy and light  headed, he carefully opened his eyes. Easing up onto his elbows, he slowly looked around  the darkened room. <This is my room> he thought, frowning. Looking down at himself,  he noticed the feel of the linen against his skin and realized he was lying in bed, naked.  Raising one hand to his forehead, Nicholas absent-mindedly wiped at the blood sweat that  was beading there. "What....?" he whispered as he tried to pull his thoughts together.

Suddenly, the events of the last few hours hit him, making him sit up and grab his head in  pain. "Noooo....." Nicholas moaned softly as he shook his head slightly. Feeling another  vampire near and hearing a soft rustling sound in the room, he jerked his head up, losing  control as the vampire took over. Golden eyes stared at the spot where the noise came  from, as a rumbling, low growl began to pour past the white exposed fangs.

LaCroix had been sitting in a chair in the corner of the room, waiting for Nicholas to  regain consciousness. He stood up at the first sign that his son was waking up. LaCroix  was worried about the state of his son's mind. <Had the recapture pushed Nicholas too  far?>.

Moving quietly, LaCroix walked toward the bed until Nicholas, all reason buried under the  fire of the vampire, snarled a warning at him. Slowing his approach toward the bed,  LaCroix made soothing noises and sent calming thoughts down the link to his son, trying  to pacify his nervous, bewildered child. Slowing again when he noticed the muscles  tensing on his son, LaCroix tried to ease up to the bed, only to have Nicholas slide out the  other side, growling softly. <This is wonderful> LaCroix complained to himself, <I have  to catch him before I can help him.> Nicholas continued to back away from LaCroix. He  didn't know why, he just instinctively realized the elder vampire was stronger than he was  and more dangerous.

LaCroix slowly began removing his clothing as he maneuvered his son into a corner. Still  not sensing any recognition from Nicholas, LaCroix decided to use the direct approach in  handing his son.

Priming himself for the coming confrontation, LaCroix let the change wash over him,  looking out of gold colored eyes at the younger vampire crouching in front of him.  Moving faster than the eye could follow, LaCroix rushed Nicholas, attempting to bowl  him over. Slipping by, Nicholas moved down the wall-- feeling for a way out of the room  but never taking his eyes from his opponent. LaCroix followed, trying to pin his son  against the wall, but only got a handful of blond hair and a bite on the forearm for his  trouble.

Watching Nicholas carefully glide across the room away from him, LaCroix had an idea  to trap his confused child against the bed, which was where he wanted him anyway.  Sliding a little to his right, he watched the younger vampire step to his left and back.  Moving a little more to the right, Nicholas retreated again. <Good, now for the finish of  this little chase> LaCroix smiled victoriously, thoroughly enjoying the spontaneous hunt.

As Nicholas stepped up to go around the bed, LaCroix rushed his son, tackling him back  onto the bed. Flailing limbs pushed and clawed at the body on top of him until LaCroix  could pin his son's arms behind his back. Using his left hand to hold Nicholas's wrists,  LaCroix leaned back on his left elbow, grinning at the snarling, struggling body under him.  Being careful not to get within range of his child's bared fangs, the elder vampire brought  his free hand up to Nicholas's hair and brushed it back out of his son's eyes. Gently  stroking the side of Nicholas's face, LaCroix had to jerk his hand back as the wild creature  under him tried to bite him again.

 Moving his hand down to Nicholas's chest, LaCroix started slowly stroking the pale skin  under him, while he began to assert his will on the wounded mind. Working to soothe both  mind and body, LaCroix stroked and patted and whispered to the man who meant more to  him than he wanted to admit, even to himself. After what seemed like hours, he felt the  body of his son slowly begin to relax. Testing the link, LaCroix felt the fire of the vampire  melting away, and the thoughts of his son beginning to come through. Looking into the  handsome pale face, LaCroix saw Nicholas's blue eyes staring back at him. Reaching  down to wipe away a tear that was beginning to run from his son's eye, LaCroix released a  sigh of relief and smiled reassuringly at his child. Slowly he released Nicholas's wrists and  rolled his leg off his son's body.

"What happened LaCroix?" Nicholas asked hesitantly.

"You lost your way for a while, Nicholas. But it's over now." LaCroix replied with a  light smile.

"I don't remember anything clearly after those men shot Janette. What happened?"

"It doesn't matter now, everything is taken care of." LaCroix told him, trying to soothe the  worry that appeared in his son's face.

"LaCroix..... I need to know what happened." Nicholas's worry turned to dread. What  could he have done?

"Nicholas, you did what you had to while protecting Janette. As far as I can see, you did  nothing wrong." He wanted to try and prevent his child from falling into a pit of guilt over  his actions during the attack. LaCroix lightly started rubbing his son's chest again,  resuming his efforts to calm him. He wasn't finished with the repair to Nicholas's memory.  <I also need to feed Nicholas> LaCroix thought with a slight smile. Of course, he needed  to get Nicholas distracted away from these questions to do that. Sooo.... a little romp in  the hay might be in order so to speak.

"LaCroix... ahhh," what started as a question quickly turned into a moan as LaCroix  moved from rubbing Nicholas's chest to licking and pinching his nipples. Since he needed  to get his son's lust flowing, LaCroix picked up the pace a little. While he continued to  lick his son's nipples, he lightly stroked his fingertips down the center of Nicholas's belly to  his groin. Feeling the limp cock, he began to lay feather touches down each of the  younger vampire's thighs and back up again. Drawing patterns with his fingers on his  child's skin, LaCroix felt the embers of lust flaring up as Nicholas began breathing harder.

Picking the semi-soft cock up off Nicholas's stomach, LaCroix stroked it gently a few  times as he leaned over and kissed the partially opened lips. Feeling the hesitation in the  return kiss, LaCroix leaned down and tried the kiss again. This time there was passion  behind the kiss, with his son slipping his tongue between his lips and lightly brushing  against his sire's lips. Opening his mouth, their tongues met and dove deep into each  others' mouths. Breaking from the kiss, LaCroix leaned down to lightly kiss along  Nicholas's jaw. Moving down his throat, while stroking his hand up and down the lean  body, drew a deep vocal groan from his son. Tilting his head back, Nicholas closed his  eyes, dug his fingers into the linen and lay there thoroughly engulfed in the feelings  LaCroix was drawing out of his body.

Now that he had Nicholas's attention, LaCroix wanted to enjoy himself. Leaning down,  he grabbed a quick kiss, then started placing kisses down his son's chest until he arrived at  his groin. Lying his upper body across Nicholas's waist, LaCroix directed his attention to  the hardening cock in front of him. Taking it into his mouth, he slowly stroked up and  down the shaft, changing the rhythm as he applied varying amounts of suction. Feeling his  son squirm under him, he moved his left arm onto his child's lower chest, holding him still,  and continued to suck and stroke until he felt the shaft lengthen and harden.

When Nicholas's hand began lightly stroking his master's back and hip, LaCroix turned  back to kiss that beautiful mouth again. As the kiss became more demanding, Nicholas  threw his arms around LaCroix's neck, holding them together. After what seemed like an  eternity, both men broke the embrace, panting heavily. Feeling his son's sexual need and  knowing his own, LaCroix moved between those nicely muscled thighs, balancing on one  hand while positioning his cock with the other, and steadily pushed.

As his shaft slid inside his lustful child, LaCroix leaned down on his elbows and kissed  and licked his way to Nicholas's throat. While he thrust slowly, he felt his son's arms  around his neck again. LaCroix nibbled around the area under his lover's ear until the  feelings of the bloodlust overcame him and he bit into the soft throat. As LaCroix slowly  fed, he gently thrust his hips in time with the mental pushes of his mind, dulling the  memories and the pain of the last several months. Feeling Nicholas trying to resist the  mental pressure, the elder vampire bowed his back a little and reached between them,  stroking the swollen gland that had laid momentarily ignored. With the added stimulation,  Nicholas became swept up into the bloodlust as well and bit into his master's throat  seeking release, needing the blood. While both of them were riding the high of ecstasy  and the closeness of the blood between them, LaCroix continued pressing through the  link, trying to soothe the worst of Nicholas's memories. As he slowly withdrew from his  son's mind, he knew for the problem to be corrected it would take several sessions, but for  now, it was a start.

With the last of the spasms from their ejaculations waning, Nicholas dropped his hands  from LaCroix's shoulders to his own chest and smiled faintly. Laying down next to his  son, the elder vampire kissed him gently on the forehead, then after pulling up the  blankets, wrapped his Nicholas into a protective embrace. Listening to his son drift off to  sleep, LaCroix knew that once this crisis was over, their relationship would probably  return to the sparring and fighting of old, but for now, he was going to enjoy every minute  while it lasted. To have his son close again, to be needed again, <Ahhhh, it is glorious!!>
