Chapter 187: New Relationship & New Family
Nadine was expecting Malachi to say any number of bad things, but the fact that he felt guilty around her was not among them.
"Guilty...? Why would you-"
"Nadine. Do you remember how we met?" he asked softly.
"In the gate?"
"Yes, but more specifically; What did you do when we first met?"
Finally, Nadine fell silent as she became unable to meet Malachi's gaze. "I..."
"Morgan is my mentor. You compelled him, made him kill two men, and held his life hostage until we promised not to hurt you."
Somehow, Nadine seemed to shrink lower and lower at Malachi's words.
Her actions from the past seemed like a lifetime ago, but they only went back by a couple of months.
"Like I said, Morgan is my mentor and somebody I idolized. I even told him that I killed you. How can I justify not only keeping you around, but falling in love with you? How can I ever face my friend again?"
Nadine clenched Malachi's shirt so tightly that one would have thought she was trying to squeeze the color off of it.
"I...know that my methods were extreme, but...You have to believe me, I wouldn't have used such extreme methods if I wasn't completely serious about you...I'm sorry that I hurt people but... I just wanted you to love me."
"Why would that matter to you..? You didn't even know me and I came to blow your home up and burn all of your friends away. Not exactly a cinderella story."
"Oh, I didn't like that movie."
"Focus, Nadine."
"Right, sorry."
Nadine took a small chance to be closer and rested her head on Malachi's shoulder.
"Human relationships are not like vampire ones... Sometimes, there is a moment where we see another person for the first time and we feel an immediate sort of 'spark'.
It's sorta rare, and it isn't even something that happens every hundred years or so, but when it does it is treated as a moment of unshakeable clarity and a godly sign.
When I saw you for the first time.. it did not matter that you were trying to kill me. I knew that you were fated to be my partner for all of eternity, and I would do whatever it take to stand by your side... even if it was wrong."
Nadine brought her slender hands up to Malachi's face and cupped his jaw in her palm lovingly.
"Because I love you... even if you don't love me. And there is nothing that I wouldn't do to be with you."
Pulling his face closer, Nadine prepared to bring her lips to his for the first time.
And for a moment, Mal nearly let her.
Her words, scent, and her sincerity were all so intoxicating that he very nearly gave in.
But at the last moment, he pulled his lips away from hers and lowered his head.
"I can't... I already have the girls and I'm still-"
"Oh! They said it's okay!"
"...What?"
"Well, just because you were ignoring me doesn't mean that they were. They thought that we might find ourselves in this kind of situation at some point so they gave me their permission. I even passed Anna's initiation!"
"Her what now..?"
"I let her punch me in the stomach as hard as she could without blocking at all and since I didn't cry she gave me her blessing!"
"Christ."
Nadine giggled happily as she nuzzled against Malachi like some kind of cat.
"Don't you see? This is just how deep my feelings for you go. Even if I had to be punched 1,000 times or be cut up and burned alive, I would do it without complaint if it brought me even a single step closer to you."
"...You're crazy."
"Fufufu~ Yes, I am... So since you know that, don't push me away this time, okay?"
Once again, Nadine brought her lips closer to Malachi's and just as she'd requested, he did not pull away from her this time.
Instead, he actually became somewhat of an aggressor.
After all, what man could hold back after hearing such kind and devoted words.
He had a lot of feelings about Nadine and despite the fact that they hadn't had the best meeting, she had always been kind to him and everyone that he valued, even when subjected to their scrutiny.
Besides... she took a full force punch to the stomach from Annalise.
She was the strongest physically out of everyone that Mal was dating, so it was a miracle Nadine didn't have a giant hole in her chest.
Suffering through a punishment like that deserved to be rewarded by a little more than just a kiss, no?
He could figure out all of the complicated things with Morgan later and apologize if he ever got the chance.
But for right now, this woman loved him and he was finally allowing himself to feel some things for her as well.
There are no things more important than that at the moment.
Malachi dropped his hands onto Nadine's plump thighs and gave them a firm squeeze as he lifted her up.
"Where are we going?"
"There are lots of empty bedrooms. Let's find one."
"T-Takes too long, just take me to the counter instead..!"
Nadine's request was less like a demand and more of a desperate plea.
And perhaps the husky way that she asked him so firmly was more than enough for him to sap away the small bit of rationale that he had.
Normally he wouldn't have indulged in something so intimate right in the open like this, but since he learned how to control sound waves he was feeling a bit more confident.
Placing Nadine on the counter at her request, he slowly bit her neck tenderly as he unbuttoned her dress and revealed her body to the room.
Malachi wasn't often someone who found himself speechless, but somehow the sight of Nadine's body had done just that.
She was gorgeous beyond belief, and her body fit his tastes on every possible degree.
She had a soft mature figure that was shockingly well maintained, with large breasts and pillowy thighs that spread out like dough on a baking sheet.
Her nipples were a tender and rosy pink, with the buds already stiffened from excitement over the present situation.
"Don't be shy, my love... I don't want to be the only one who gets undressed." She said sweetly.
"...How rude of me."
Malachi's new clothes were made from solidified darkness, meaning they could be taken on and off any time he wanted and any damage taken would be regenerated.
As such, he was easily able to take his clothes off with a thought.
And as Nadine watched the coverings that were hiding his body disappear, she slowly let her gaze drop farther and farther downward.
As her eyes finally traveled beneath his navel, she felt her eyes become glossy and excited as if she were met with an unimaginably delicious treat.
"I always wondered why the girls were screaming like that whenever I eavesdropped on you all."
"When you what??"
"Nothing, my darling~"
Nadine grabbed her beloved's member with her hand and licked her lips at the extraordinary thickness and length.
"I fantasized about this for so long but... it's still bigger than I thought it would be... I've never had anything like this before...!"
Nadine pulled her beloved's member closer to her entrance that was already slick beyond belief.
"I don't need any foreplay since I've already waited for so long so I don't want to wait any longer... Make me yours."
Malachi's violet eyes glowed visibly brighter as he wrapped his arms around Nadine's waist and pressed his lips against hers.
Pushing his hips forward, Malachi nearly let out an involuntary groan as he felt the pleasure of Nadine's flesh wrapping around him like she never wanted to let him go.
Sex with all of the girls felt different in a number of ways.
Sei was softer and her needs reflected that, so she had to be embraced with a gentle and loving touch.
Luna was more erotic. She had a number of egregious zones that she liked to have stimulated all at once to give her the strongest orgasm possible.
Anna was wilder. Sex with her was like a desperate battle where either of them were desperately trying to prove which of them loved the other one more through who could make the other one feel the best.
Bianca was more innocent since she had the least experience, but she was steadily scouring the internet for new things to try from ropes, to candle wax, and even vibrators.
And on the first few seconds of being inside Nadine, Malachi was coming to understand her as well.
The vampiress was a fervent romantic, with an obsession for him that traveled all the way to her bones.
He felt her get more and more excited the deeper she went into her and her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
"Aww, that's no fun. If you're quiet like this then I'll start to doubt myself. So you can be as loud as you want."
Malachi pushed the rest of himself inside of Nadine all at once, and elicited a loud and erotic moan from her that was like music to his ears.
He controlled the sound waves to stay only within the area so that nobody else in the house would be disturbed.
And he thought that his plan worked flawlessly, until his catlike eyes picked up a small amount of movement.
Looking up, he found his mother standing on the ceiling upside down, but she wasn't alone.
There were twenty or so odd women with fangs and talons who were dressed in black.
They had bloodied wings that were tattered like that of a bat, and their faces were a mix between frightening and beautiful.
"See girls? I told you all that your new baby brother was handsome."
