Jake could say he'd never entered a vampire's den like the one Lux took him to. When she first brought up the idea, he wasn't thrilled. The idea of going to a place filled with vampires and their human blood bags did not seem like a safe and sound idea. Lux assured him he wouldn't have time to get bored and that she would protect him. He listened, but he still was not convinced to go until, finally, he saw Lux in her short little red sequin dress. That dress was diabolical. It was hugging the vampire in all of her right curves; it squeezed her breasts and hugged her ass. It had a nice cleavage that enticed whoever was staring at it but did not reveal enough for their liking. Her feet were in black stilettos, and her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. Her lips were painted red, her eyeshadow had gold accents, and she wore gold earrings. When she stepped out of the bathroom, his jaw dropped to the floor, and suddenly, going out with her did not sound so bad. Vampires be damned.
She led the way into the club, her arm wrapped around his as she showed him around. It was a gentleman's club, the kind Jake had never visited but had heard about. A place where rich and elegant people would indulge in pleasures most average Joes could never dream of. It was the same principle, with waiters waltzing around with drinks for the human guests and blood bags. Vampires were drinking directly from the source, fangs deep into their human blood bags' necks and eyes alight with burning lust and pleasure. Others were dancing; most were chatting. There was a live band playing some jazz, but Jake did not pay a lot of attention to the music. Instead, he looked at Lux. She stood out with her vibrant red hair that crowned her beautiful face, her sexy red dress, and her seductive smile. Gosh, she was hot!
She introduced him as her esteemed guest, not to be mistaken for a blood bag. She then explained that her intention was to hear the latest gossip and gather intel about the whereabouts of Frederic and his henchman Alan. Last time she went there, her favourite and most loyal blood bag, Kelly, had informed her that Frederic was watching her from afar. He wanted to know what Lux was searching for, and his sudden interest had put the vampire in an uneasy position. So it was the only logical move Lux could make. She had just gotten the biggest lead from the Hermit vampire, and she needed to know if that visit had made the rounds. She called Kelly on her way to Montana to inform her that she would no longer use her as her bloodbag unless there was an emergency, and upon her return to New-York, she would pay a visit to the club and would need her information.
"It's been a hot minute, Lux. I have missed you so much." A beautiful blonde woman welcomed Lux and Jake. She was wearing an elegant knee-length thin-strapped black dress and a pair of high heels. Her hair was tied in a messy bun that let some blonde strands of hair tickle her nose. She smiled warmly at the pair and crossed her arms above her chest.
"As you can see, I have been quite busy." -Kelly took them to their booth. Lux sat next to Jake, and Kelly sat across the booth.- "I haven't completely lost interest in this place. As discussed over the phone, I would like to hear the latest gossip. Jake, I would have to pretend to drink from her so it would not raise suspicion." He nodded, and he watched Lux stand up and sit next to Kelly. She grabbed her, tilted her head, and placed it in such a way that people could believe she was actually biting Kelly. "When I went to Montana, did anyone try to find out my whereabouts?" Kelly nodded.
"Yes. Frederic and Alan came over two days after you left. They started to ask around about you to the usual patrons of the club. Alan came to me, and he used your vampire magic on me. I told him what I knew, which was the only thing you told me: you were curious about the history of your people."
"Mmh, I see." Lux felt relieved to know that her plan worked because she did not tell Kelly about her plans. She had already noticed that Frederic had followed her weeks ago, so she would not be surprised to see that he had followed through with surveillance once she came back. She did not want to risk Kelly's life by giving her too much information in case her enemies would want to compel her to speak.- "No need to tell me what you told them. I can already imagine. Did they speak of any plans they had for me?"
"Not really. They are very careful. I managed to pick up the fact that they were frustrated with you because they tried to tail you in Montana, but you lost them. They also were upset about your curiosity and refusal to believe the stories in your temples and mausoleums."
"They are upset I want to explore? What is it if not the behaviour of a guilty party?" She scoffed and pulled away from Kelly. Her warm hand cupped her cheek, and she smiled at her friend. Kelly gave her a longing look, already disheartened that she no longer could be Lux's blood bag. She pouted, but Lux chuckled. "You don't have to answer this question, Kells. I know the answer. How about I go to the bar and fetch you something to drink for both of you?"
They nodded, and Lux left for the bar counter. Kelly sighed and crossed her legs together while staring at Jake. The blonde studied the dark and handsome man in front of her. She stopped at his intense green eyes, the thick eyebrows, the sharp jaw, and strong chin. She looked at his built, big, burly man, with a confident gaze and a confident way to carry himself. He looked good with Lux; she could not deny it. And perhaps there was more between them than Lux said.
"She's never done that before, you know? Bring a guest here?"
"I guess that she really wanted to show me around," Jake said with a disarming smile. Kelly blushed and cleared her throat once again. "You sound like you miss being her blood bag?"
"Yeah... Kinda... Lux is different from the other vampires. If you look around, you will see that they don't really take care of their blood bag. They take it, and it's painful, and they discard us like we're nothing but food to them. I am not naive. I know that they think they are above us, and that we are just pets to them. Lux... Lux never treated me like food or a pet. She treated me as a person. She saw my humanity, and instead of being disgusted, she respected it. She always tries to make it pleasant for me, and it is. Once she bites, she always soothes. Today feels strange, but I welcome it even more because I am now just her friend."
"I see. You're giving up on quite the high for your friendship with Lux, mmhh?" Kelly nodded.
"She saved my life. She took great care of me, Jake. Now I see that she's taking great care of you."
" She is. Since we came here, everyone is looking at her. Does it happen often?"
He asked, watching as Lux went to the bar. She looked in control, incredibly sexy, and very attentive to her surroundings. Indeed, he noticed that all the vampires that were sitting in their booths were staring at her, studying her every move and taking notes of what she was doing, something that Lux had surely already noticed too. His attention was caught by Kelly again; she clearly was nervous with Jake around, mostly because he did not look like the type of human who was into becoming a blood bag. He was not seeking the thrill of being bitten, the pleasure that came from it after the intense seconds of pain. Kelly narrowed her gaze and replied in a soft voice.
"Every time Lux sets foot here. They treat her like she's the odd one, but I also caught the lustful gaze of some of them. She does not pay them any mind. I asked her if it had anything to do with the fact that she's an Adora, but she told me that it had much more to do with the way she looked. It's disgusting, but I can't do anything but support her." She sighed and gave him a soft smile. "It's been a while since I have seen her smile like that. So you really must be treating her well."
"To the best of my abilities. She doesn't really need me to do much but be there for her. Fortunately for me, I can do that." He joked and then watched Lux walk back to their booth with two drinks. One was Irish Bourbon she gave Jake, and the other was a Cosmo. She sat on Jake's lap and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, her face fixed on Kelly. "Did you get what you were looking for?"
"I did. I came here to be seen. I want them to think that I am back to my usual business." She rubbed her nose to his and gave him a big smile- " So how about I focus on you?"
"And what about Kelly?"
"I am leaving. I'll leave you two alone so you can enjoy the evening." -She stood up and grabbed her bag.- "Lux, please... Don't be a stranger, okay?" The redhead smiled and watched her friend leave.
"You are taking this in stride, puppy." -She mused and flashed her teeth. He licked his bottom lip and put his right hand on her waist and the other hand laid on her knee. The singer noticed that Lux was unlike any vampire he had ever met. She was warm, and if he had not known she was a vampire, he could have been fooled. Her body pressed against his and her hands stroked his shoulders. "I'm grateful that you came with me."
"I wouldn't have left you alone, especially if you were walking into a trap." He ran his large hand over her back, up and down just tobring her some comfort while the other hand stayed on her knee. "I noticed that you're being watched."
"I like to think that it is because of my astonishing beauty. They can't really get their eyes off me, much like you. But do you know what they do not have that you do?" -He hummed negatively- "They do not have me. They have never tasted me. They have never touched me but here you are, touching my knee, allowing me to run my teeth against your skin, like the good puppy you are."
Lux nibbled on his neck. Her head disappeared against the crook of his neck. Jake grunted when he felt her fingers sink into his scalp. She was careful not to draw blood because she did not want the other vapires to notice Jake's delicious blood. She could not anticipate their reactions but given their savage nature, they would attack him. They would try to turn him into their personal blood bag or even worse, they would try to kill him. She did not want to risk it and did not want to ruin the moment she was sharing with Jake. He swallowed hard when the redhead licked his jugular.
The hand that was not lost into his scalp dropped until she slid it under his t-shirt. She stroked his chest, her nails gently scratched his skin, teasing a harder scratch that would not come. Her teeth pressed against his skin, teasing a bite that did not come. She had noticed Alan, at the corner. He had been there from the beginning, keeping an eye on her from the moment she set foot in club. He had noticed Jake, and the way they were close to each other. That gave him a pang of jealousy in his heart and made him growl. Lux smirked, delighted to eliecit such bad reactions but focused her attention on Jake.
"Madam..." He shifted on the chair, his voice slowly becoming hot and bothered. She put on a show, he could tell by the way she touched him, painfully slow, painfully intense. She wanted to reward him for coming with her and it was working on the Winchester. She still kept in mind that she was in the presence of the vampire society and could not wild out like she usually did. "I think you would be more interested in leaving this place so we can continue this....unf..."
"Wiser words had not been spoken. I got what I wanted, we dont' need to linger any more here." -She then pressed her lips to his ear and whispered, her voice hot and bothered- "I want to ravish you, my dear puppy. Seeing all the debauchery in the club turned me on. Could you tell?"
"Yes... I could smell you when you were sitting on my lap. I could hear it in your voice and I can fucking feel it right now. I will serve you, madam, like a starved animal because I am hungry. So fucking hungry." He groaned and gently smacked her ass. "Come on, madam. Let's go home."
