IV.
The violence that ensues is nothing less than extraordinary. The guy in the hoodie must be more than human, but less than vampire. He tries to even that playing field with a gun, but John takes it from him with a twist of his wrist, throwing it in the water. There is a blur of kicks and blows that make you wince. In the end it becomes a one sided knife fight, the blade flashing silver in the street light. John stays ahead of it, but barely, and you scream as he takes a slash across his ribcage. But before you can do something stupid, like try to rush in to help, someone grabs you from behind.
You scream and struggle. You're not a frickin' ninja like John, but you know some basic self-defense. This is made extra difficult because this guy is strong. He picks you up and carries you a few yards like you weigh nothing (which is definitely not the case) before you manage to kick him in the kneecap, making him falter. Then you hit him over the head with the thing you happen to have in your hand: the bag containing your new little book.
He flinches, but this guy is nuts. He grabs you again and starts dragging you away. "John!" you scream, struggling for your life, turning just in time to see your vampire has his own opponent in a lethal hold, and has turned the knife on him. It's incredible that the guy is able to match John's strength, even for a short amount of time, but it's inevitable as the tip of the blade slips into the attacker's neck.
John drops him to come to your aid. Your attacker tries to outrun him while hauling you, but when John catches up it's like being hit by a vengeful hurricane. When he drops you to the hard pavement you watch with fascinated horror as John precisely and methodically breaks the guy's arm—then his neck.
"Are you alright?" your savior demands, scooping you up from the cold ground.
"I think so?" you answer, definitely in shock, but so relieved to find yourself in the shelter of John's strong arms. "Are you?" His face is bruised and cut, and you saw that guy make contact at least once with the knife.
"Yeah." He pulls you along with an arm around your waist, practically carrying you in his haste despite the fact that he's limping.
"Wait!" you hiss, trying to look at him, certain now that he is hurt. "Let me see."
"Not now. I'm fine."
You're afraid he's lying, but you let him speed you along. Near your building he takes you in his arms. "Hold on." You don't get much time to obey before it feels like the earth has dropped out from under you. Gravity means fuck all, and a few seconds later the two of you are on your fire escape. You don't even have time to scream. "Did you just fly?"
"Jumped."
The lock on your window means very little to strength like John's, and in no time the two of you are back in your apartment. In the middle of your living room John looks you over, checking for wounds. You might have some bruises, but you're otherwise unscathed. He, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky.
"Honey, you're bleeding. Come here." You pull him into your tiny bathroom, parting his jacket to look at the now ruined cashmere sweater, boldly pulling it up to reveal his bare torso. "Oh, God." A deep cut slashes across his ribs and abdomen.
"It's not as bad as it looks," he assures you, but there are tears welling in your eyes anyway, a tide of panic rising in your chest. He lets you strip him down, pushing his jacket from his shoulders and gingerly slipping the turtleneck over his head. The cut is deep, but not bleeding much. The advantages of a heart that does not often beat…
"Jesus. Do you need stitches?" You cannot hide the alarm in your voice.
"No. It's healing." You can't see it in real time, but you suppose you'll take his word for it.
"Let me clean you up, at least." He doesn't argue. Maybe he likes being fussed over, though the sight of the tears running down your cheeks tears his heart to shreds.
"Please don't cry," he implores you, cupping your cheeks in those big hands. You realize that he's the one who's hurt, but he's here comforting you, and you know you have to get your shit together. He gets hurt like this all the time. You're going to have to get used it. You're going to have to handle it better.
"I'm sorry," you apologize. "I just…I care about you."
He pays you a winsome smile that squeezes your heart in a fist. He's not used to having someone who worries about him. It's been a very long time.
"Can I bandage it for you?"
"If it will make you feel better."
"It will." Doing something about it will help. And maybe…covering it up, for your own sanity.
"Who were those guys?" you ask as you finish cleaning his wound, proud of yourself that your hands have mostly stopped shaking.
"Thralls. Vampire servants." You kinda figured that, from the whole human but strong as fuck thing.
"But…whose?"
"Not sure," he tells you grimly. There are so many people in this city who would like to carve off a piece of him, for so many reasons. Money. Clout. Revenge. Orders. Maybe he should have kept one of the attackers alive for questioning…but he'd always been bad at that.
"This is pretty normal for you, huh?"
"Afraid so."
He's sorry you had to see it though. And the thought of you in extra danger because of him churns him up inside, an uncomfortable medley of guilt and fear.
It's been a long time since he's had a weakness, too.
Even though the wound really does seem to be diminishing already, he lets you wrap his bare torso with gauze. Now that you've taken it down a notch, this becomes a distracting task indeed. He leans on the bathroom sink and lets you have your way with him, quietly watching you from behind the curtain of his hair. You can't help but notice in the mirror the tattoos that span his muscled shoulders, fierce creatures and religious iconography that is marred by the evidence of the violent life he's led. A scar bisects the cross tattoo on his arm, and he closes his eyes as you trace it lightly.
"You should eat something," you say quietly, pulling the scarf from your neck to clear the way. You swear you are offering this out of the selfless desire to help him heal, and not because the sight of his powerful body stirs up a heady, dizzying cocktail of desire within you.
Ri-ight.
"Later," he assures you, capturing your wandering hand to kiss your knuckles. "But it's too soon for you."
"I'll be fine, John."
"No." He's firm in this, and you sense there is no room for argument in that steadfast tone—or so he thinks.
Why does that curl your toes in your boots? It's nice that he worries about your red blood cell count. No one else ever has.
"Let's rest," he suggests. "Show me your new book."
"Okay." He doesn't know you well enough yet, to know the matter isn't totally settled.
But you make a nest of pillows against your headboard, and watch as he gingerly lays himself down, betraying that he might be a little more sore than he's letting on. "Is this…ok?" he asks belatedly, looking down at his shirtless state.
You regard him with great amusement, your hands on your hips. This heartbreakingly handsome man who you cherish, in your bed, half naked? What ever shall you do?
"We're not in a Victorian mini-series, John," you tease him.
He narrows his dark eyes at you, though the corners of his mouth curl slightly. Oh. That look does something unmentionable to you…
It occurs to you that he's probably from a time when such a thing would have been a problem. At least, if a man finds himself with a woman he respects as a lady. Wow, you are so not used to that. Who says chivalry is dead? "How old are you?"
"Old enough," he evades with a smirk, amused by your clumsy interrogation. "Come here." He pats the bed beside him, and for a few moments you are overcome, your heart glowing for this battered man stretched out on your covers. Your dark knight, your hero. Because you don't know why yet, but that man on the waterfront wasn't trying to rob you, or hurt you—he was trying to take you, and John didn't let that happen. Women go missing in this city all the time, and whatever that was about…it gives you chills.
"I'll be right back," you tell John, disappearing into the bathroom for a minute. When you come back out you're wearing your favorite soft nightie with lace trim. It's not new, or terribly revealing, or even real silk, but the warm way he looks at you makes you feel like the most desirable woman in the world.
"You're not going to succumb to the vapors, are you?" you tease him, approaching the bed.
"I might," he answers with that slight smile, holding out his hand to you.
You crawl into bed with him, settling into the pillows with your new book in hand. You snuggle together with his head on your shoulder as you carefully unwrap the paper containing your purchase. Your heart falls when you see the front cover torn in the corner at the spine. "Oh no."
It must have been damaged in the melee. You vaguely remember using it to hit your attempted kidnapper—it's all a blur in your memory, really. It all happened so fast.
"It's okay, y/n. I'll fix it for you."
"You can do that?"
"It's a hobby of mine."
You look at him from so close, and you just know. Like a puzzle piece locking into place; a certainty that is inevitable and inexorable—you are falling in love with this man. It feels like the most natural thing in the world to lean in, and touch your lips to his.
The kiss is soft and achingly sweet, as the two of you breathe each other in. Tentatively you offer the tip of your tongue, and it deepens into something heady, intoxicating, thrilling. His long fingers tangle in your hair—he is like a drug, even without his vampire powers curling through your bones and into your loins—you're not sure you were in complete control of your body, when you tease the tip of his razor-sharp fang with your tongue, hard. Blood fills his mouth in a coppery rush, and the growl he offers you sends gooseflesh marching across your spine.
"Naughty girl." You're pretty sure he is smiling against your mouth as he says this.
You giggle, and it sounds a little evil even to you. "Yeah. Don't waste it."
He grumbles in answer before rolling to pin you with a devouring kiss, sucking on your tongue, chasing the taste of your life inside your mouth. He doesn't need all the mind-melting vampire blood magic to seduce you. His arms around you and his big body over yours, pressing you into the mattress, are more than enough to inspire your total submission, spreading your legs in invitation without a single inhibition.
Until you run greedy hands down his sides, and your lust-addled brain remembers oh yeah, he's really fucking injured. "John…maybe you're…too hurt to be doing this," you pant between kisses, trying to remember how words work while his soft mouth is upon your neck.
"Said no man, ever," he huffs with muted laughter, his lips trailing your collarbone.
"John…" Wow. You're really bad at this nurse thing. Because even with that tiny amount of blood spilled into his mouth, the tingling warmth of John's magic spreads across your skin, curling and pulsing in the cradle of your hips, and any sense you had is gone.
"Do you want me to stop?" he asks your breastbone, planting a slow wet kiss just over your heart. You can't help but squirm beneath him, rolling your hips against his, rewarded with the sweet friction of what promises to be a very nice surprise for you in John Wick's pants.
"No…" you sigh, entirely too honest in the grip of your need. "You promise you're ok?"
"I promise, y/n."
The truth is that John would have to be on the edge of true death, to keep him from you. You've bewitched him tonight with your concern and your soft touch, doing your best to make him whole with that silly gauze bandage. The care and tenderness you've shown him tonight have been like a slow-twisting dagger in his heart. It's been so long, and his resolve is a frayed cord with a single thread remaining. Maybe he is a monster, but once he was a man…and he needs you.
John closes his eyes as you stroke the soft scruff of his beard, running your fingers through his hair. When you pull him to kiss your lips again he moans into your mouth like a man tasting his last meal, his weight settling down on you again. He drives you mad with slow, deep kisses that melt you to the bone. Clothes become annoyances that are pushed away. Skin on skin is the only cure for what ails you. He is patient and methodical, until you are nothing but a creature filled with mewling need beneath his soft lips and voracious mouth, begging for the mercy of his manhood sheathed inside you.
He makes love to you in this same way, watching your reactions to every touch like he is catalogueing them all for use against you later. His body inside yours is like the missing part of yourself you've needed your entire adult life to be whole. He is magic, and only part of it is the blood pleasure that flows over your skin each new time you prick your tongue on his fang.
"Stop hurting yourself," he scolds, greedily lapping at the blood that wells upon your tongue all the while.
"Nothing hurts now, John," you assure him, and you mean it. Tomorrow might be another matter…but you'll cross that bridge when you get to it. For now, with his cock brimming inside you and his mouth on yours, you feel invincible. You break to pieces while looking up into those glowing amber eyes, your release a golden rush that bows your spine. He follows you with a deep thrust and his face buried in your neck; you do not feel his fangs in your skin, only the surge of blood pleasure that consumes you both, heady and cloying as a hit of forbidden opium in your veins. Somehow, through sheer will alone he forces himself to stop after a few swallows, kissing you with lips that taste of pennies, groaning into your mouth like a beast deeply sated.
"Y/n…" His deep voice is all gravel as he shifts to rest his head upon your chest, lulled by the sound of your pounding heart. You run fingers through the silk of his hair, catching your breath, savoring the impossible sweetness of laying tangled on your soft bed with this man.
Later, you wake from your post-coital daze when you feel him stirring about the room. You open your eyes to find him dressing once more, donning that turtleneck with the new peep hole. "Where are you going?"
"Got to ask some questions."
"Hmmph," you pout, taking his hand to guide it to your breast. "Or…you could stay here and fuck me silly again."
This wins you that reserved smile that never fails to tie up your heartstrings, his eyes dark and glittering once more as he rolls your nipple between his fingers, making you squirm.
"I'd like to," he assures you, then guides your hand under his shirt. The bandages are gone, and his taut flesh is smooth and whole once more. After feeding his skin is even warm, and you lift your eyebrows with surprise.
"That was fast."
"Yeah."
You don't really understand that such a wound dealt with a silver blade would usually take a night, sometimes two, to heal. It would definitely leave a scar. This is something…unique, between the two of you. Something maybe even sacred, and he should probably ask Winston about that too.
"I'll see you soon, y/n," he tells you, leaning down for a kiss that only leaves you wanting more. He chuckles when you tug at his lapels, stealing another smooch, then another. He definitely leans into the last one, which is somewhat gratifying, if you have to let him go.
"Very soon?"
"Promise." He takes a step before half-turning back. "Maybe stay inside at night, until I figure this out, ok?"
Your feeling of invincibility dampers slightly at hearing this caution. But then, he can't watch over you all the time…
"Okay."
"That's my good girl." You're rewarded with one more kiss before he is sweeping out the door like a dark dream, and you watch him go with an uncomfortable medley of adoration and trepidation warring in your heart.
