The Vampire’s Servant novel Chapter 87

Wednesday, the fae kids mostly left me alone. Some of the bigger ones glared at me. Gray told me they were trolls. Like real trolls and they tended to be jerks as part of their nature. They probably didn’t like that we went over their heads to Maeve.

The fae girl from the bus approached me at lunch and apologized. She said she hadn’t written any of the notes, but the others found out about me from her and she felt badly. I explained to her what a dhampyr was and that I was no threat to them. Like them I was born the way I was born. She seemed really nice and accepted my invitation to sit with us.

On Thursday, I turned in a bunch of my late work and met with Mr. Moxon. I had been having small flashbacks on Wednesday, but I was using his techniques to help get me grounded so I wouldn’t panic again. It was helping me to get back to normal after them.

I was riding the bus home with Sean Friday afternoon. He was talking to me about our plans for Saturday. He seemed really excited. I was excited, too. I had played golf on my game systems before, but Sean said this was different.

“So, we’ll meet up at the place for lunch. Then we can start playing. There’s an arcade inside where they have the restaurant. Maybe we can play some video games after.” He suggested.

“That sounds like fun!” I grinned.

“How are things going with you and Gray?” Sean asked.

“Good, I guess. We work on our homework together and get to see each other at school. He wants to take me out bowling after you and I finish playing. I’ve never been bowling before.” I said.

“I wish I could go, too.”

“He invited a few of his friends and their girlfriends. It’s like a couples thing. Maybe we can get a group together some other time.” I offered.

“That sounds good. Maybe you, me, Gray, Terry, Elle, Harmony, Val, and Cam.”

“I love that idea! I’ll tell Gray when I talk to him tonight. We could all have so much fun together.” I smiled.

There were so few times where I got to just have fun anymore. It felt like my whole life was taken up by lessons. I started getting up with Gray to train. It was actually a great way to get moving in the morning. I’d go to school, do homework after, then dinner, and lessons with Marius that went until my bedtime.

I was learning more about boundaries with Gray and Victor too. Victor told me he had only meant to guide me and didn’t realize it was coming off as him acting like a parent. I apologized again for acting up.

We all acknowledged that I was still trying to figure a lot out. I worked to reign in my bratty behavior. It was hard, but they were patient with me. Sometimes I would play with my imagination while they were getting ready for bed. It led to some really intense encounters after.

Gray was talking a lot more in the bedroom. He said really dirty things. Just thinking about it would make me press my thighs together to quell the desire that overcame me. I couldn’t wait to finally have him the way I’d been imagining.

I said goodbye to Sean when he got up at his stop. He smiled and said that he couldn’t wait for tomorrow. I couldn’t either. A whole day where I just got to play sounded nice.

Gray met me at the bus stop and walked me back to where his truck was parked.

“Are you excited for tomorrow?” He asked.

“So excited! There’s an arcade there, Sean says we can play video games. And I can’t wait to spend some more time with your friends. They seem really nice at lunch.” I replied.

“That’s only two of them. My other friend, Mike, goes to the pack school with his mate. They got a little carried away a few months ago and marked each other, so they had to transfer.” Gray told me.

“When will you mark me?” I asked.

“The day after graduation. The night of graduation. As soon as I don’t have to worry about you getting questioned about your mark.”

“Will it hurt?”

“I’ll do everything I can to make sure it doesn’t. I’ll do it while we’re making love. Right as you orgasm. I’ve talked to a few people, they said it makes it hurt much less. I don’t want to hurt you at all, but I want you marked as mine.” He said.

“I want that, too.” I answered quietly.

He parked in his usual spot, unbuckled my seatbelt, and pulled me into his lap. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and kissed him softly on his cheeks, chin, and lips. His hand went up my skirt and rested on my hip. I sighed contentedly at the feeling of his warm hand on my bare skin.

“I love you, Echo Nightshade. I can’t wait until you’re finally mine forever.” Gray murmured.

“I love you, too, Grayson Padua. I promise to love you forever.” I whispered.

“Good. I’ll only accept forever love. When did you want to start having kids, by the way? Most wolves start right away. I’ll wait as long as you want.”

I thought about it. I wanted my first baby to be with Victor. He lost so much and I wanted to give him the family he missed out on having. I didn’t know when I would be ready for that. Certainly not within the next year. I had a lot of learning to do before I tried to start a family.

“A couple years, at least. Would you be mad at me if I said I wanted my first baby to be with Victor?” I asked.

“That depends. Why do you want your first baby with Victor? Is it because you still love him more than me?”

“No. Victor had a family before he was turned. He lost them all before he died. I want him to have a baby to love. I know he would love your babies too, but having a baby with him is something I really want.” I admitted.

“I wouldn’t get mad. I can’t imagine what it must have been like losing everyone he loved. We’ll raise our family all together. Our kids will be sisters and brothers. How many babies do you want?” He asked.

I giggled. “Is it really time to be talking about this? Shouldn’t we wait for Victor before we talk about how we grow our family?”
