This chapter has a lot of fluff, and I finally got to the sex! *pops confetti* Yay!
It was my mum's birthday the day after I got the last chapter out, and my best friend's birthday the day after that, so I haven't had much time to write. I'll do my best to get this one out quickly.
Review:
DRAGOREX: Yeah, sorry. I just know that I'm not particularly good at writing battle or fight scenes, mainly since I don't know much about them. I tried to...artfully write my way around it, but apparently I didn't do a very good job, haha.

Luckily, Alucard's portal had gotten the three of them back to their hotel without any unwanted Parisians' attentions. Their bloodied, torn and filthy clothes would've made quite the scene as they entered the lavish hotel. Dawn had been breaking as they finally finished up at the warehouse, covering the traces of what was left of the vampire, as well as their own. By the end of it, they were all in need of a good shower. Well, Seras and Pip were. Alucard just seemed to think himself clean. Seras had a quick shower and dressed before going to sleep almost immediately.

Pip tried to get to sleep, but was only tossing and turning. Eventually, he decided to get dressed and go out. He found it too difficult to get to sleep while the sun was still up. Just as he had been about to leave, his phone rang. A few friends of his had seen him around the city yesterday and were asking if he wanted to catch up. He agreed, eager to see his old friends.
"Alucard, I'll be out all day."
Alucard didn't look up from the book he was reading as he sat on the bed, but nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
Taking that as a green light, he left, closing the door quietly behind him.
Alucard sighed and put the book on his bedside table, removing his glasses, "Finally, that noisy mercenary has gone, I might be able to get some sleep now."
He laid down, getting comfortable, and drifted into an easy sleep.

***

Alucard yawned and checked the time. The clock on the wall read '3:15'. It was only afternoon... what was he to do to pass the time? He was awake now and he wasn't going back to sleep.
Well, there was something he could do...
He looked down at his draculina, who had found him in sleep. She was lying on her side, curled up to him, her tiny hands clutching the front of his shirt, as if seeking comfort. Her forehead was just touching his shoulder. Their legs were overlapping, but she wasn't the only one that had been reaching for him, his arms were sitting loosely around her waist.
He tried to move his arms away, but was amused by the small noise of irritation that she made, snuggling closer to him.
"Police Girl, what are you doing?"
Seras awoke with a start. "What am I...?"
She realised that they were very close and sat up, moving away from him.
"I didn't say to stop."
Her face coloured, and she frowned, "I can't be blamed for what I do in my sleep."
"Well, you were certainly trying to cuddle up to someone in your dream. Out of curiosity, who was it?"
The pink in her face changed to a flaming red, "U-um...n-n-no one."
"No one? I don't like when people lie, I trust you, but maybe I should have a look at your dream, just to check."
She looked mortified, "N-no! I'll tell you, j-just don't...ahem...look at my dream."
He nodded.
"It was..." she rolled her eyes. "Do I really have to tell you? It's just...dumb and embarrassing."
Alucard grinned, that was all the answer he needed, but he still wanted to hear her say it, "No, you're right. It's cruel of me to ask you to say it. I'll just have to have a look at your mind."
"No! Okay, okay! Just don't look into my head." She sighed and pouted, "I was dreaming about you, okay? Make fun of me all you like, I don't care."
"I know."
"You knew?!" She pushed him down and hit him weakly. She was angry, but not quite so angry that she was actually going to try and hurt him, even though she knew he wouldn't feel it.
"Of course I knew. You blush quite a lot when you get around me and your dreams are quite amusing. It was very..." he searched for the right word, "I suppose you could say that it was...cute, the way that you cuddled up to me in your sleep."
She scowled, "Don't patronise me!" she slapped him hard across the face. He laughed and flipped them so that she was underneath him.
"Care to give that another try?"
She kicked her legs, trying to get him in a sensitive area, but he managed to avoid it every time.
"Tsk, tsk, didn't anyone ever tell you that that's bad manners?" He leaned his face down until their noses were touching. She frowned and poked her tongue out at him.
"You are in a bad mood today, aren't you?"
Hoping to catch him by surprise, she flipped them back over so that she was back on top. She straddled him, trying to keep him in place and show him that she could be in control as well.
"Not so tough now, are we, Master?"
"I'm perfectly happy here, not a bad view."
She blushed furiously as she realised that in their current position, he could see right up her skirt. Her hands quickly went to hold it down and hide her underwear from him view. He took that opportunity to put her back underneath him, sitting quite comfortably between her legs.
"Although, I like it better this way."
"Hey! Why do you get to be on top?"
He laughed, "Because I like to be dominant, but I also happen to know from some of those dreams of yours that you like it like this," he grinned wickedly as she looked away, trying to hide her bright-red face, confirming the truth of what he'd said.
"I-I d-don't know wh-what y-you mean."
"No? And I guess you don't like it when I do... this?" he moved closer and nipped her ear, making her shiver.
"N-no! I don't- Nnngh..." she clapped her hand over her mouth as he licked and sucked at her ear and then neck.
"Don't cover your mouth, I enjoy the noises you make."
She shook her head vigorously.
"I suppose I'll just have to make you make those noises loud enough that I can hear them through your hands."
He phased her out of her shirt, "Yes, I definitely like this view best."
She squeaked and her hands went to cover her chest.
"Embarrassed? Already? But we have so much further to go... Unless you want me to stop?"
She paused, biting her lip. "I-I don't know."
"How about I keep going until you tell me to stop?" She simply nodded and slowly pulled her hands away from her chest.

Seras was very timid about her first time, but Alucard knew he was making progress. He just had to put her at ease.
Going back to her neck, he began sucking gently, leaving hickeys leading down her throat and over her chest. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sheets clutched tightly in her hands.
She moaned as he got to her breasts, taking the pink nub in his mouth and swirling his tongue over it.
"Nn... M-master..." her breathing hitched.
His hand went down to lightly stroke her inner thigh as he continued giving attention to her breasts.

Seras shivered at his warmth of his gloved hand moving sensually up and down her thigh and hip. She could also feel something...large and hard rubbing against her between her parted legs, and she didn't exactly dislike it. Good lord, that was going to... how would it even fit? She pushed the concern to the back of her mind, they would cross that bridge when they came to it. His lips drew away from her nipple and, feeling bold, she grabbed his face wth both hands and pulled him into a deep kiss. With a bit less confidence, she tentatively began unbuttoning his shirt, pulling it over his shoulders. As he settled back in place, she noticed that he'd gotten rid of a few other pieces of clothing, the only remaining clothes they'd been wearing. She should've been very distressed and shy that she was completely naked with her Master, but for some reason, she didn't mind, she was... excited.
He pulled away from their kiss, "Are you certain that you want this? I won't bed an unwilling woman."
She nodded firmly, "I'm certain."
He positioned himself at her wet heat. "Since this is your first time, it's going to hurt a bit."
She nodded again and braced herself, taking a deep breath. He pushed into her slowly, letting her get used to his girth.

Seras' breathing was heavy as she grew accustomed to having Alucard inside her. Alucard was watching her face carefully, so she murmered, "Move."
"With pleasure." He drew back and slammed his hips back into hers, breaking her barrier with one thrust. She cried out, her eyes shut tight. He paused for a moment to make sure she was alright, before she took over and began bucking her hips against his.
"Impatient, Seras?"
Her only response was soft moan. Hoping to incite more from her, he moved in time with her again, speeding up until she was screaming and moaning his name.

Before long, she felt the same thing she had when they had almost had sex the last time, and climax crashed over her. Alucard finished not long after her and they collapsed in the sheets together, Seras panting. She rolled over, stretching and caught sight of herself in the large mirror, hickeys dotted all over her throat and chest. Distressed, she turned to him, "Alucard, you left hickeys all over me! What if people see, and think I've been doing indecent things?!"
Her innocence astounded him.
"You have been doing 'indecent things'," he replied dryly. "Besides, I hope that people do see, so that they know to keep their hands off you," he put his arms around her waist and nipped her bare shoulder playfully, "because you're all mine, and now everyone else knows it too."
"Right... I suppose."
He frowned, "Seras? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she sighed, "I just... I don't want to make this more than it is."
"This?"
"I know that I'm just a...a cheap fuck...you were probably just using me but-"
He interjected quickly, "Seras, you don't-"
"It's okay, you don't have to defend yourself. I know you wouldn't ever feel strongly about such a weak vampire. You said it yourself that I'm pathetic, but that's alright. Really. You're my Master and you obviously see me as just a possession... so-"
"Shut up for a moment Seras!" He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her. "When I asked if you were willing, you said yes. Did you only say it because you felt obliged to?"
"Well, no but-"
"Don't insult me by accusing me of caring so little for my fledgling that I would only use her for sex! I felt drawn to you from the moment I met you, even when you were human. That's why I turned you! I don't create fledglings out of every second human I meet, you're the only I've ever had. I haven't regretted it yet, and the longer I've known you, the more confident I've grown in my decision. I'm sorry for calling you pathetic, I try to push you in your vampire training because I know how much potential you have. You are not a possession, although I do get possessive and jealous where you're concerned, you're mine, in the same way that I...am yours. You awaken...strong emotions in me that I thought had been long dead and withered. You will make a marvellous draculina and do me proud."
Seras blinked, startled at his outburst.
"S-so you're saying... th-that you love me?" her voice softened to a whisper at the end, not wanting to think too much of what he'd said.
He gulped, "Yes. That's what I'm saying."
She brightened, "I love you too."
Alucard smiled and planted a chaste kiss on her forehead, laying back down on the bed. Seras followed suit, laying next to him and resting her head against his chest. He stroked her hair gently, perfectly content for the first time in quite a while and they both drifted off to sleep.

***

Pip crept in a few hours later, knowing that if he woke the two vampires, his life might well be in danger. He closed the door behind him and was met with the sight of Seras and Alucard curled up together, Alucard with his arm around her protectively and Seras smiling in her sleep. That was when he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he wasn't the one for Seras. She would never have smiled that way for him, Alucard was the person that would make her happy, not him. Surprisingly, he was okay with that. As long as she was happy. He smiled, feeling bittersweet and went off to bed.

-a week earlier-

Sir Integra nodded to herself and spoke into the phone, "Yes, that's right, I want to make the reservations? Yes, a king-sized bed and one single in the adjoining room. Yes, thank you. Alright, goodbye."
She hung up the phone and sighed, "Now hopefully those two will stop checking eachother out like infatuated teenagers and figure out where they stand with one another already."
Walter stood at the doorway, having overheard her talking to herself.
"With all due respect, Sir Integra, is it really your place to meddle in Alucard and Miss Victoria's affairs?"
"Would you rather deal with mopey Alucard in a few weeks when he finally realises on his own that he's in love with her?" she shot back.
Walter had nothing to say to that.
"Exactly. This way, it'll be all over faster, whether or not it works out between them. I wonder if they're going to use the condoms I packed in their bag..."

And that's the end of this story. I'm really truly sorry if the sex was awful. It felt like it took forever to write even though I wrote most of it today in an hour or so. You can review and tell me what you thought, or if you thought I needed to improve on anything, you can review for that too. Integra's a bit OOC in this, but I thought it might need a hint of humour to close the story. Since they obviously didn't use the condoms that Integra packed for them, I'll leave what happens next up to your imaginations. Okay, bye!
