Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 193

Blake

Life has been problematic since we came home from hell...

"Blake... BLAKE!"

I sigh as I hear Leo screaming from the other room. He keeps calling for me every few seconds, asking for something, like a helpless, needy child. And like the sucker I am, I'm running to tend to his needs every time he calls me. What can I say? I feel bad for the guy.

Leo has had a fever ever since we came from hell. But shit... How did I get stuck playing nurse for Nora's mate?! f**k my life, honestly.

"BLAKE!"

"Ugh! I am coming!" I stride into the room where Leo is lying down. For a powerful Alpha, Leo sure is being a baby!

I see him sprawled across the bed, arms and legs spread to his sides. He doesn't look all that sick. The last time I checked, he was just running a temperature. So how bad can it be? "What do you need now?" I grunt.

"Hot... I am so hot. I can't seem to calm down since we got back. My body is on fire, and I can't take it!" Leo's voice sounds hoarse.

My stomach churns in anxiety.

Despite Leo being annoying, I do feel terrible for the guy. Leo is part wolf, part angel, so he can't withstand the heat of hell, which is probably why he got sick.

"Does it hurt a lot?" I ask, letting my eyes roam over his face. He is drenched in a cold sweat. "Do you need something?"

Leo meets my eyes, panting while looking like he might explode from the heat any second. Since Nora went out to hunt with the pack, I'm the one who got stuck with taking care of him.

"I need you to help me heal. I don't know how but please take care of me. Make me better. Ugh, my head is throbbing too!" Leo groans.

"I can draw you an ice bath. That might help," I suggest. That should bring his fever down. I hope?

Leo doesn't answer. He is delirious with a fever. I touch his skin and gasp when it feels like touching molten hot lava. He is way past a normal fever. It's like his skin is on fire.

"Alright, that's it! I am dipping you in ice water." I hurry to the bathroom and then fill the tub with water.

Ice. I'm going to need lots of ice.

I focus hard and create some out of thin air. Being a water fairy has its perks. I fill the entire tub, hoping it's going to save Leo. Nora would kill me if he died on me.

"There we go..." I mumble to myself as I rise to my full height. "Now it's time to get the alpha idiot."

I enter the bedroom and find Leo in the same position on the beat. Legs and arms akimbo. I can't believe what I'm about to do, but it can't be freaking helped.

"Whoa, man... What are you doing?" Leo weakly protests as I lift him up and fling him over my shoulder. He is heavy, but I'm built and larger than him. I can handle it. "Where are you taking me?" "Shhh... This will help."

Without wasting another second talking, I carry Leo to the bathroom, then drop him in the tub.

Leo yelps as the cold water stab his skin. "AAH! It is cold!"

"Yes, it is, genius. Ice will bring your fever down!"

Leo is still crying like a child. "f**k, I'm going to freeze to death!"

"No, you won't!"

"Yes, I will!"

"Man up, Alpha! I thought you were hot?" I scold Leo. I've nearly had enough of his whining. When is Nora coming back?

"There is another way to make me heal faster," Leo mumbles.

"What's that?"

"Blood."

I take a deep breath. I heard a rumor that Angels sometimes drink blood for healing purposes. So it's actually true?

"So... Um... You want me to let you drink my blood?" I hesitantly ask. This seems a little intimate. Shouldn't he be drinking from Nora since they are mates?

"I know what you are thinking. I should drink from Nora because she is my mate. That's what you're thinking, right?" Leo smiles.

I look at him with surprise. "How did you guess?"

"It's written all over your face. Just let me have a sip, Blake. Nora won't mind if it's for my health." Leo pouts, and I find myself nodding my head.

"Alright, buddy. Just one sip."

I flip out a claw, cut my arm deep enough to draw blood, then offer my arm to Leo. Leo does not hesitate. He covers my wound with his mouth and starts sucking my blood.

A tingly feeling spreads from my arm and travels to my toes. I hate to admit it, but this feels pleasant.

Leo leans back after he is done drinking and closes his eyes. I touch his body. Still hot.

"That didn't work at all. You are still boiling hot." I tell him.

"Yes, I am hot, aren't I? And so are you, Blake."

Uh...okay?

"You are such a fine man, Blake. And did I mention hot? And so strong. No wonder Nora didn't want to leave you for me and decided to keep us both. She is an intelligent woman. Our little duchess is smart." Leo looks like his head is in the clouds. "Alright, buddy. You are rambling now. How about getting some more sleep?" I let out a nervous laugh. Is this a*****e hitting on me now? What am I supposed to do about that?

"Thank you so much for carrying me when we were in hell and helping Nora and me. I had no idea you had such strong, muscular arms," Leo bats his eyelashes.

Alright, he is definitely flirting with me now. There is this big dumb smile on his face, and his green, emerald eyes twinkle.

"No problem."

"You're such a fine fairy Blake."

"Thanks a lot, man." I laugh as I start to find this amusing. Leo is pretty funny when he is delirious with a fever.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're beautiful? F**k... Man... If I weren't mated to Nora, I would ask you to marry me. Hell, I bet I can still ask. Nora wouldn't mind, right? You should be my wife," Leo murmurs. "Dude, what are you saying?" I chuckle. This is getting out of control. I didn't even know Leo was into men! How delirious is he on this fever?

"I am saying you are pretty. You are fine with those ice blue eyes and dark hair like Celine Dion."

"Wait..." I blink repeatedly. "Isn't that woman a blonde, though?"

"f**k, if I know! The point is your beauty intrigues me. And you are a great friend. The bestest!" Leo looks at me like he is in love with me.

I stare right back at him and swallow thickly.

Dammit, why is my heart fluttering? Leo is just being a dumbass because he is sick, so I shouldn't take him seriously. And yet, I kind of want to hug him. I mean, he is kind of adorable!?

"Come here, you big i***t!" I chuckle. I try to pull him out of the bathtub, but he grabs my biceps.

"What on earth is going on here?"

I'm startled to hear our mate's voice, but I also let out a sigh of relief. Nora is back home!

I clear my throat and avoid her eyes. How much did she hear? "Control your mate, Nora. He is acting crazy."

Nora looks at me and smiles. Her eyes glint under the lights, and her lips curl into a small smile. "Looks like you have everything under control already, Blake."

"Not true! Leo is a complete mess, and he is acting like he is in love with me!" I hope I sound desperate enough for Nora to save me from Leo. She should be the one caring for him.

"I am in love, Nora. No one can stop me from loving this beautiful man. Not even you, Nora. But I love you too, Nora, don't worry. I won't leave you for Blake!" Leo leans back and closes his eyes after making his announcement.

I kind of want the ground to swallow me whole.

"Eh... I'm confused." Nora looks at him, then at me.

"I told you, Nora. He is crazy! I let him drink some of my blood, and now he is acting weird."

Nora giggles, then freeze when she sees I'm not smiling. "You, poor baby. You let him drink from you? Well, that was a dumb mistake because it creates a special bond. Didn't Leo say something like that? Anyway, he will probably love you forever now." "What? Bond?" I am devastated. Last time I checked, I'm not into men. So what am I going to do about this?!

"Anyway, you need to get him out of the tub and put him back in bed. Think you can handle it?" Nora winks at me suggestively.

I sighed. "Alright..." I pout and mutter. "Leo better not try anything funny."

Nora giggles again, and I look at Leo. He has his eyes closed as if he has already fallen asleep.

I grab him with both of my arms, nearly hugging him. Then I lift him off the tub. Water drips down on the floor, but I pay no attention. I have a bigger problem to worry about now.

"Ah, yes, carry me to bed, my prince," Leo mutters against my shoulder, and Nora laughs out loud behind me.

"Don't encourage him!" I bark at Nora. She is not helping the damn situation at all!

"You better quit it, Leo. I am not kidding!" I lean down to warn Leo, but he suddenly grabs my neck and pulls me down.

I gasp as our lips touch.

Are we... Are we kissing?!

I feel Leo's warm tongue slithering into my parted mouth, but I don't attempt to stop him. I am too stunned to push him off, too shocked to say a word of protest.

The alpha's tongue is boiling hot, probably because of his high fever, but it doesn't bother me. I am too busy tasting him, and he doesn't taste bad.

"Wow, just wow! Keep doing that!"

I hear Nora's voice, and my heart does a little dance inside my chest. Is she mad? Why isn't she pulling me off of Leo?

Leo opens his eyes and lightly pushes me away. "Mmm... You aren't half bad, but Nora is better."

What the hell...

Should I be offended or relieved that he prefers Nora more?!

I look back at Nora. "This isn't what it looks like!" I declare in panic.

Nora is standing there with a big smile on her face when she should look angry at me. Is she... Is she amused?!

"That was quite a show, boys!" Nora breathes.

"Ahh... I mean. Like I said before, Leo is delirious with a fever. He probably kissed me because he confused me as you or something," I say lamely.

"Pretty sure I heard him say your name the whole time." Nora is smirking. Why does she look so entertained? Her eyes are gleaming, and she gives me a cute smile. "Do you mind doing it again?" I stare at her without blinking. "Do what?!"

"Kiss Leo. I forgot to hit the record button the first time."

I am horrified. "You were going to record me?!"

"Of course! I wish you could see yourselves kissing. Mmm... So glad I picked you both to be my mate. I make great decisions." Nora blushes while her eyes appear to be glittering.

I glare at her. Just great... What kind of fantasy is cooking in that pretty little head of hers?
