I rolled in my sleep and collided with a body. My heart jumped in my chest I ran my hands up the chest clumsily and felt the topless form.
The flesh felt warm but I supposed it was because I was colder than him.
My hands ran up his muscled chest and I found one of his nipples in the dark. I ran my thumb over it.
I moved my hands up to his neck and I pulled myself in the direction of the lips I knew were there.
I froze when my lips met the persons. I felt the course hair of a beard and backed away quickly falling onto the floor. My head fell back and hit the floor. My vision spun but I concentrated and muttered quietly
"Léoht"
A ball of light appeared in the air and I almost screamed when I saw the man sitting on my bed. Iōannēs was sitting there topless. He smiled at me and I rushed quickly to my drawer and put on the first pair of boxers I could lay my hands on.
I turned around and glared at him, my anger exploded out
"What the hell are you doing here? Why the fuck would you sit next to me, while I'm sleeping. naked. And when I tried to kiss you why did you let me? I thought you were Louis"
He was next to me in a second and I skidded back into the chest of drawers. He slowly advanced and I felt my heart beat faster.
"I am here because you interest me. Before I was interested in Louis but now..."he trailed off and moved his hand onto my chest. I froze at his touch. His skin is warm almost human. He leaned forward and I almost whimpered in fear as he ran his nose along my collar bone inhaling deeply.
I put my hands against his chest and shoved with all of my strength, it did nothing. if Louis was able to overpower me, Iōannēs at over 10 times his age was even more capable of doing so.
Iōannēs moved up my neck and I froze expecting him to bite me. I whimpered as he kissed my neck. My fear quickly subsided replaced with anger. I pushed against Iōannēs' chest again but this time I channelled power into one word
"Ríche"
Iōannēs flew backwards and collided against the wall of my room with a resounding thud. He laughed loudly and I was considering hitting him again but I restrained myself.
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, I knew that all it would take would be a little push to make you use magic"
My anger peaked again and I summoned all of my strength and spun together a complex spell which I chanted while Iōannēs was getting up
"Ic bebod þik innan þæs ágennama sylfum á sé sy fremung bæc mín ansíen"
his smile vanished and mine grew.
My window flew open and Iōannēs began to be dragged across the room and towards the window. He was trying to move towards me but my magic held strong and soon he was braced up against the window frame. He winked at me then said
"Amazing"
then he went flying out of the window and collided with the ground below.
I felt my spell take its toll on me. My knees buckled as my energy was depleted from my use of magic. I was glad that I was unconscious before I hit the floor I didn't want to have to deal with the pain of it.

And Now
****
God knows how many hours later, I slowly slipped back into consciousness. I felt a slight burn in my arse thanks to my activities with Louis the night before. I sighed quietly half asleep on the floor.
I felt a cool hand against my back and tensed immediately. then half shouted with my eyes still closed
"Iōannēs get the fuck away from me"
The hand moved to the back of my neck. I would have flipped over and punched if had had the strength. I heard a familiar voice in my ear. Louis.
"I am not Iōannēs but I did see what you did to him last night. You could have easily given in and become his but you fought back. That was all I needed. It showed me that I am best for you. If you are not mine then Iōannēs would move in and sweep you away"
I pushed up off the floor rolled over and slumped back against it. I felt completely drained. My muscles hurt as if I had gone on a 3 mile run.
I opened my eyes groggily and saw that the sun was just beginning to rise and I saw Louis' face.
He looked completely different from the night before. Before his face had looked blank and expressionless, but now I saw a smile on him and the glint in his eye.
He slowly pulled me up and I saw him move his wrist towards my lips. The blood slowly trickling out glistened dully in the sunlight filtering through the window. He placed it against my mouth. I opened my lips and drew small amounts of the blood into my body. The flavour exploded over my tongue and it set to work in my body.
After the first few mouthfuls I felt my energy levels begin to rise among other things. Soon I found myself able to secure his wrist to my mouth. I began to draw out the blood more quickly and felt all of my muscle aches vanish. I pushed his wrist away from my mouth and slowly licked the blood off my lips relishing the taste.
"Thanks"
I muttered to Louis.
I sprang to my feet feeling full of energy and restless.
