How Time Flies By

And so here you go faithful readers from both this site and fanfiction. The lemon in full and the suspense is over. Stay tuned for an epilogue though.


They returned to the mansion at quarter till midnight. Seras eyed her bag. “I hope I figure out how to get that thing on in fifteen minutes.”

“If anything it’ll be loads of fun to figure out the opposite I bet,” Integra laughed.

Seras flushed. That’s all Integra had been doing was laughing. “You find this entire thing hilarious, don’t you?”

“That Alucard wants to settle down? Yes. That I actually got you to buy lingerie? Yes. This whole thing is quite funny.”

Seras was about to open her mouth when Integra cut her off.

“But here is where I stop laughing and get serious. I want you to realize what this will mean.”

“What will mean? I already know it’s another relationship than we’re used to.”

“This will mean you’re giving up the one thing you’ve saved like I have these past three decades. It will mean the end of single life. It’s not like marriage with the fact you can get divorced. Seras, are you really ready for that?”

She didn’t even have to think. “That’s all I really ever wanted, to be honest. I wanted to be good enough in his eyes to have him accept me for who I was. It just took a lot longer, and in a different way than I wanted. As for the virginity, well it’s not really that sacred to me anymore. It’s like ‘Whoopdie-do, I’ve lasted thirty-something years in my vampiric life and am still pure in that aspect’. To be honest, it’s not that great.”

“Then go and prepare yourself. There is a reason why I ordered for no one to enter the dungeons for the next few days.”

Seras nodded and faded into her room, tossing the bag on her bed and taking out what they had bought. It took her the remaining amount of time to figure out how to put the gaudy garment on. Once she had, she looked down at herself and felt her face flushing with color. Integra and the sales girl had talked her into a black leather bustier, silk black panties, and to top it off, high-healed leather boots. She shrugged on the short and sheer black robe that they had also got and held it tightly around her form. It’s not that she hated it, to the contrary. She was just afraid of what Alucard would think. If her heart could beat, it’d be in her throat right now. Just what had he been up to all night?

/Seras, come to my chambers./

/Alright, just… don’t laugh./

/Why on earth would I laugh?/

/Promise you won’t./

/I promise, now show me what you’re afraid of./

Giving a big sigh and closing her eyes, she materialized into his room and waiting for the echoing laugher. Instead she was met with silence, which perked her curiosity over her fear, making her open an eye. What she saw almost made her jaw drop. While she was in lingerie, and he wasn’t laughing, he was in tight leather pants with nothing else but a pair of old boots, and she certainly wasn’t laughing. He had also placed long-stemmed candles and scented candles in any surface area that would emit enough light. His coffin, though, remained closed she noticed.

“So it seems we were both told to surprise,” she said with a small smile.

“Yes, it appears so.” He motioned for her to come closer and she did, reveling as he wrapped his arms around her. “Even though you told me yes, I want you to be absolutely sure with your choice.”

“Integra tried giving me the same speech. Yes, I’m sure. It’s really what I’ve wanted all along. Though being around that long I’m sure you know this.”

“It did come up in your mind from time to time when you were still a little weakling. But now you’ve grown up, and I know you’re ready.”

“Everyone’s asked me if I’m sure, but what about you?”

He gave her his full toothy grin. “Well really this was the plan the whole time. Do you really think I’d just make a midian at random, raise her, and shove her off to live a life as a lone vampire? Who do you take me for? I was just always disappointed you wouldn’t drink and wouldn’t grow up.”

“Like you said, I was younger and didn’t know your intentions. Now that I know, I’m more sure of my choice than ever before.” She stepped away a bit. “What do we have to do for this?”

He smiled. “Think I’m just going to rush into this? We have three days to ourselves now. And I have a surprise for you.”

“Better than seeing you half naked in skintight leather?”

This enticed a laugh from him, but not one she was used to. What was normally a harsh cackle was soft and … well just plain different! “Yes, even better. I took it upon myself to watch that little Ann Rice movie back from 2002, since I saw a variation of it in your mind. Very intriguing, meu soţie.”

“What about it? Queen of the Damned only had that interesting part in it.”

“Well yes, it was quite dull, but close your eyes and you’ll see.”

She did as she was told and once he was sure she couldn’t see a thing, he lead her into his normally unused bathroom. He had taken it upon himself to clean it as much as could be cleaned, and to fill the sunken in tub with blood from a source he wouldn’t name, and rose petals. Also to give some light, he had spared some more candles and lit the candelabra he had lying around. “So what’s this surprise?”

“In my bathroom.”

“You have a bathroom? I’ve never seen you bathe.”

“Well of course, you were always in your room. And it would have been awkward if you had seen me naked and wet.”

“So can I open my eyes?”

“Go for it.”

She did and had to close them again to make sure what she saw was right. It was like he had taken the vision straight from her mind. Then again, knowing him, he probably did.
“What do you think, meu soţie?”

“I think you should probably stay out of my head,” she laughed. “I never expected something like this.” She knelt down, feeling the blood to be warm, and not cold. “How did you get so much of it this warm?”

“Tricks of the trade that I will not share.” He eyed the back of the bustier and knelt down behind her. “Though to do this, we have to be naked.” Alucard felt her lose her balance. “Something throw you off?”

“Just all of this.”

“What about all this?” He heard a drop and looked to see a ripple in the blood were she hovered over it. “Seras?”

“It’s like I’m dreaming.” She let out a little laugh. “I mean, this is what I wanted… for well over thirty years. A few weeks after becoming a midian, I became attracted to you. It was hard not to, with all the time we spent together. I always wanted your acceptance, even to this extent. And now I have it within my grasp, and I’m having a hard time believing this is even real.”

“Meu iubire, this is all real. If you need a demonstration of how real, I’d be happy to prove it.” She continued looking down into the red liquid. “Seras, look at me.”

She finally did and he saw the red stain on her cheeks. It was hard to hold back and not lap it up. He couldn’t taste her blood, not yet. “Make me all yours.”

That was it. It was all he had been waiting for. He pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered, “Te iubesc, meu soţie.” Of course she wouldn’t know what it meant, but she didn’t need to know right now. “So, how do you get this thing off you?”

She laughed softly. “Honestly I don’t know. It was hard enough getting in.” She took the robe off and unlaced the back of the bustier. “I think that’s how it goes.”

Now Alucard started laughing as they struggled with her outfit. “That’s the last time I let Integra take you shopping. She buys the most complicated things ever.” After a bit of a fight, they finally got it off her.

Seras nibbled on her lip, realizing they were equally as bare now.

“Well I’d like to get in there before it gets cold, wouldn’t you?”

Nodding she stood, moving to slip the panties down, when he tugged down on the sides and pulled them off himself. Caught off guard yet again, she didn’t even realize the trail of kisses he planted down her leg as he unzipped one boot and then the other. She stepped out of them and stood in front of him, now completely naked.
“It is a perfect night, isn’t it, meu iubire?”

She nodded and he was amazed she still didn’t ask what it meant. He stood up before her and kicked off his boots, wincing as one crashed into something in his room.

“If William asks, a random cat got loose in the house.”

She laughed before smiling mischievously. “I can make it believable.”

“You make a lot of things believable.” He pulled her into a kiss, being sure to avoid nicking her skin with his fangs, feeling small tugs as she was determined to get him as derived of clothes as she was. Delaying her fun, he scooped her off her feet and plopped her in the tub of blood and roses. He had to sidestep as she tried swiping at him. “All in good time, meu iubire.” Though he had to admit, seeing her covered in the thick red liquid was more than he could bear. Stripping off the leather with a bit of difficulty, he tossed them into the pile of clothes and slipped in next to her, pinning her body to the bottom of the tub with his. “Now this is the last bit of information I know. The rest I’m assuming all goes into instinct. When I feed from you, if you feed from me, we bound our lives together.”

“What does that mean?”

“If you die, I will follow the moment you pass. This is only temporary, and from the first time I bite you only. You can deny this or accept it.”

“What would you do?”

“It is not up to me, Seras. But if you do, that means prepare to live a long life, because I am letting nothing get to you.”

“So if I accepted, you wouldn’t mind?”

His smile answered everything. “Are you ready?”

Seras nodded. He held her hand as he sunk his fangs into her neck. She grimaced for a second before that was knocked away by blinding passion. Now she knew what he had bucked from a few days before. She fought through the waves of bliss and clamped her fangs down on his neck. To her amazement, she felt something else. Something from the both of them. She moved a hand to his chest, and realization hit her. /Our hearts are beating in sync./

/That means… Seras, you always wanted to watch kids grow up, didn’t you?/

/Yes but… how is this possible?/

/From drinking the blood of each other at the same time, it must have triggered our organs to function. It may be just the one time, or any other time we do this./

/Why do you ask about kids right now?/

/If our organs work, we could reproduce./

/Do you really even want to? I never took you as the sort who would./

/You’re forgetting what position you’re in right now. You never would have thought me capable of something like this./

/True enough./ They broke apart, but instead of fading, the beats remained, still in sync. “That will be hard to get used to again, if it remains.”

“There will be a lot of things to get used to now, such as sharing my coffin.”

“I can live with that.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him down upon her to be closer. “Don’t tell me that was all.”

“If you can still feel that on your leg, no, it’s not all.”

Seras laughed. “Then you tell me, Alucard, what would you like to do?”

He raised a brow. “You really have to ask?” He picked up her form and sat her on the floor beside the tub, before standing himself between her legs. “This last part will hurt you, but I’m asking you to look past that for just a few minutes. It will not hurt long.”

She nodded, giving him the last confirmation he needed.

Before slipping in, he whispered once more, “Te iubesc, meu soţie. I love you, my wife.”

She was caught off guard long enough for the pain to enter her body and subside. She leaned forward and said right back, “I love you too, my husband.”

Hearing those words drove him over the edge far too fast and he had to pull himself out until just the tip stayed within her. “I don’t want this to go too fast. Give me a second.”

“I was going to ask what your words meant later when this was over.” She brushed a strand of hair from his face. “What is it, it’s beautiful.”

“It’s Romanian. I was from Transylvania, so you know.”

“I wasn’t sure on the tongue, but I know your past. I’ve had enough time to get to know Brom.”

“And what do you conclude?”

“That Dracula isn’t a monster. He’s a man capable of love if given the chance.” She put his chin in her hands, kissing him deeply and letting him slide back in.

/If you keep saying soft things like this, I won’t last very long./

/It would be a problem if you didn’t?/

/I want this to be enjoyable for you./

/I’m already happy enough where I am./

This urged him to move faster until he reached his climax, gritting his teeth as waves of pleasure coursed through him.

“Besides, I have you all to myself for three days and three nights. We have all the time in the world for doing whatever we want.”

“Well I know what I want.”

“Hm?”

He spread her legs farther apart and bent down in front of her, giving her one long and torturous lick with his serpentine tongue, causing her to cry out in pleasure. “To make you scream for me.” He licked at her folds over and over, wringing one cry from her after another, until she finally climaxed, screaming his name. “Yes, that is some stamina you have there.”

She held her weight up on her elbows. “I remember seeing something when I came in.”

“What is that?”

“Your coffin was closed. It usually isn’t.”

He leaned over her body and tapped her nose. “Observant, aren’t you. Yes, that’s one last surprise for you.” He lifted himself out of the tub to stand beside her, holding a hand out to help her up. Once she was up, he led her back into his room, seeing no horrible damage done by the rogue boot.

“Don’t tell me I have to close my eyes again.”

“Not this time.” He lifted the lid of his coffin and heard her gasp. “It’s not exactly sheets of silk and roses, but close enough, no?”

“How did you have the time to make these two things happen?”

“Don’t forget, the sun is still not lethal to me. I just tolerate it to do things that make you happy.”

“But you hate being in it.”

“Lately I’ve been finding myself making more and more exceptions to my own code of rules.” They laid in his coffin, this time with her on top of him.

Curiosity peaked her again. “How long do you think you can lay there unmoving?”

“If we stay like this, for the rest of the night.”

She grinned. “I didn’t say anything about me not moving.” She moved her hand up and down the slick flesh of him, making him grow hard in her hand.

“How is it you can do that in an instant?”

“I want to see if there’s something else I can do in an instant.” She positioned herself to where as soon as she slid onto him, she bit into his neck again.

It took every ounce of willpower he had to not buck against her body. She was testing his stamina and obedience, an instinct in vampire females. It didn’t help she had added drinking from him to the test. /That’s not fair. You know how that feels./

/That’s what I’m testing. How long you can withstand it./ She kept her fangs in this throat but continued moving, a little faster every time. In this unity, she could feel his pleasure and knew exactly what to do to heighten it.

/I correct myself,/ he projected through groans that grew louder, /this is highly unfair./

Taking this hints the unity gave, she brought him to a halt, right before he was about to climax.

“Seras…” he hissed.

“Mm I think I like being mated. I can get into your head and know exactly what you want.” She pulled almost all the way off before impaling herself on him, driving him over the edge again.

“As I said, highly unfair.” Alucard said as his unneeded breathing slowed to a stop, pulling her down to his side and allowing them to rest together. They listened to the foreign sounds of their still beating hearts.

“How long do you think they’ll keep going?”

“I’m guessing until either these three days are up, or we conceive.”

“Would you really be up to something like that? Being a father?”

“After being alive as many years as I have, you start to wish for certain things. I had thought conception to be impossible with dead organs.”

“If they’re dead, how did you-”

“A penis is a muscle, not an organ, that’s always worked fine. But yes, I would be. After I get some time with you to myself.”

“Well of course, having to tend to screams every five minutes would interrupt much.”

“I’d like to make you scream every five minutes, but I’m tired.”

Seras looked at him quizzically. “Tired after two times?”

“That, and don’t forget I’ve been up all day, and almost all night. I could use some rest, if that’s alright.”

“Yes, that’s fine,” she said as she smiled. “I’ll rest with you to get some stamina back.”

He nodded and pulled the lid to his coffin closed, sealing them in sweet darkness.

“Y’know, we sure did skip a lot of steps.”

“How do you mean?” he asked, stifling a yawn.

“Well usually there’s courting, then dating, then proposal, then marriage.”

“Human steps. But if you’re putting it in those terms, we went from meeting to marriage. So yeah, I suppose we did skip a lot of steps. And a lot of bases, if you’re going to throw those in.”

She lightly rapped his chest. “No matter. All that matters is where we are now, and where the future will take us.” She waited for a response, but got none. When she looked through the darkness, she saw him passed out cold. Seras remembered back to what he had said before. /Te iubesc, meu iubire./

/Te iubesc, meu soţie./
