Le Frère de Sang

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL DISCLAIMER - I do not own any of the characters used.

NOTES ON THE CHAPTER - This chapter is all about Harry’s relationship with Asher. So yes, once again I have written an INTIMATE SCENE and this is definitely creeping over the GRAPHIC borderline.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’d just got back from school, a late exam that hadn’t finished until seven, having started at five. It was already getting dark outside and I had to get ready to see Asher. I called out a greeting to Richard and moved into my room. There was an owl waiting patiently on my bed with a letter in his talons.

“Hey. What’ve you got for me?” I took it from him and immediately after taking the letter the owl flew away. I guess he wasn’t hungry. I tore open the envelope.

“Oh Merlin!” I stared at the letter in my hand in dismay. It was from Gringotts. They were informing me, very kindly, that the Ministry of Magic had decided to contest who Blaise’s vaults would go to. They wanted to seize control of the vaults for themselves and were claiming that because I was of no relation to Blaise that I couldn’t be the benefactor in the division of the assets. Since Blaise was too young to have written a proper will he’d just informed Gringotts, both in writing and vocally, that in the case of his death every thing he owned was to go to me. I did the same but left everything to him. I’d have to change that now, since Blaise wasn’t here anymore.

There is to be a court hearing to decide who should benefit from Mr B Zabini’s vaults shall be held on the 9th of September.

I had to be there. I’d have finished my exams by then but the new term would have started. It was in a week and a half. I’d have to leave in a week to give my self some time to get adjusted to the time difference somewhat and it would take a day to get though, despite gaining a day travelling there. I had to be at the court hearing. They couldn’t seize his vaults! It was wrong!

“Harry? You okay? I can smell salt water.” I jerked around and looked at the door where Richard just entered the room. He looked me over and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“I have to get back to England. The ministry are trying to steal Blaise’s things. I have to be at that hearing! That can’t take his things for themselves. It’s wrong.”

“When is the hearing?”

“9th of September.”

“You’ll miss school.”

“I know but that isn’t as important as this. I have to be there Richard.” Richard nodded in understanding and crossed his arms looking at them for a while before meeting my eyes.

“I won’t be able to go with you. But you shouldn’t have to go alone. The vampires won’t be able to go, the hearing is during the day time so they won’t be able to support you or comfort you.”

“I could ask Nathaniel if he’d go with me…is there a full moon around that time?”

“The full moon is August 20th and then September 19th.”

“So if Nathaniel goes then we have to come back before the 19th. That’s fine we can do that and if the hearing goes on for longer than expected I’ll just have to stay in England and Nathaniel will have to come back to St Louis.”

“Sounds okay. I’ll look at plane times for you. Why don’t you go and see Nathaniel?”

“I can’t. I have to feed Asher now. I’ll have to see Nathaniel tomorrow.” Richard nodded.

“You’d better eat something yourself while you’re out. We’ve got nothing in the house.”

“Right. I’ll pick something up from the store or something. I’d better get changed…no there’s no time. I’ll have to shower when I’m there. Bugger…I’ll see you later Richard.”

“Take care.” I nodded and pulled my magic to me. I apparated to just outside the local store and nipped in for something to eat. I bought a sandwich and a tooth brush and toothpaste. I also bought a bar of chocolate, despite American chocolate not tasting as nice as English chocolate. I ate the sandwich on the way and scoffed the chocolate bar quickly.

I walked through the entrance to the Circus and then found the familiar route to my rooms. I went straight to the bathroom and pulled the tooth brush and tooth paste out of it’s packet. I drank water from the tap before I set about cleaning my teeth. I could have used magic but cleaning my teeth was something to take my mind off everything. I spat out the toothpaste and moved to the shower when my watch beeped. It was sunset, Asher would be waking up.

“Urgh! Why is time always against me?!” I left my rooms and walked to Asher’s. I knocked on the door and he opened it almost immediately.

“Ah mon Harry, good evening.” I couldn’t be angry at Asher so I smiled. He must have sensed something off about me because he pulled me against him and into a hug. “What is the matter?”

“Just stress.” I confessed. He shut the door and pulled my gently towards the bed. “I was hoping for a shower before coming to see you but I ran out of time.”

“Ah well perhaps you would like a shower now? Come, let us shower. It will relax you and make you feel better.”

“Uh…okay?” I just went along with it. Asher dragged me into his bathroom and I noticed his shower was a lot larger than mine. That and he had a large bathtub as the central feature in the bathroom.

“Bath or shower, mon beau?”

“Uh…shower.” Asher nodded and turned on the spray. He set out two towels, surely I wouldn’t need two? I was about to say so when Asher stripped off his top. Oh! Blood rushed to my face. Then some of it ran south.

“Come, you cannot shower in your clothes.” Asher’s bright eyes were laughing at me slightly. Butterflies danced wildly in my stomach and I felt my heartrate pick up. Asher’s smile faded slightly. He reached out for me, not removing any more clothes. “If you don’t want to shower with me you do not have to.”

“No! No I’ll shower with you it’s just…” I didn’t know how to continue so I just hung my head. Asher’s hands ran over my shoulders and down my arms. I looked up at him.

“I can smell your nerves mon beau. Do not push yourself if you are not ready.” I growled.

“I want to shower with you it’s just…no I don’t want to think about it. Can I tell you later? Make me forget it for now?”

“As you wish.” I sighed in relief and reached up to pull Asher into a kiss. He went with hardly any struggle. I wrapped one hand around his shoulders and with my other hand I started undoing his trousers. I’d throw myself into this with Asher. I’d throw myself and thoroughly immerse myself in him. I didn’t want to think about Blaise’s hearing. I didn’t want to think about Micah ignoring me. I didn’t want to think about anything but Asher.

I pulled back from the kiss and pulled my shirt over my head before undoing my trousers. Asher pushed his trousers down and stepped from them. Except for his underwear he was nude. I turned around, I didn’t want to look yet, I’d lose my nerve. I faced the shower and slipped off my underwear, my heart beat spiking. I stepped into the shower and the hot spray hit my skin.

“Asher…” I looked back being careful not to look down and I saw my beautiful vampire waiting there. I didn’t want to see whether his underwear was off or not so I stared at his eyes and held my hand out. “Aren’t you going to shower with me?”

“You’d like me to?”

“Yes. Come in. Shower with me. Please?” Asher nodded and stepped into the shower. I saw his body in all its glory. His unmarred side was almost ethereal, his scarred side a deep contrast but it didn’t change anything about him. He was beautiful. His body was well muscled, his stomach strong and his chest chiselled to perfection. He looked like the perfect Roman god only in flesh and blood. I leaned forwards and kissed his sternum. As I pulled back I made the mistake of looking down. I snapped my gaze away quickly and pressed my cheek against his chest while looking to the side.

He was flaccid but that didn’t matter. He was long and reasonably thick. He was thicker and slightly longer than me. There was no way something like that could fit inside a male human body and not hurt. I shuddered slightly and gripped Asher more. Asher leaned his head down and I could feel a slight smile against my head.

“Tell me what’s wrong?”

“No. Not yet. I want you to make me forget everything.” I looked up at Asher’s eyes and tried to plead with him silently. He sighed. “Please! I just want to lose myself with you and not worry about anything else.”

“Then stop thinking.” He leaned down and kissed me. He started off slowly then invaded my mouth with his tongue, holding me tightly to him. Water from the shower sprayed down us, soaking us completely. Asher slipped one of his hands around to my chest and toyed with one of my nipples. Pleasure spiked through me and I could feel myself getting aroused. I pressed into him a little harder and he undulated his hips against me. He wasn’t hardening though.

I pulled out of the kiss and looked up at him. He was pale and his skin was cold. I pushed my hands up and tangled them in his wet hair. I tugged him down till his face was in my neck. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and held him tight.

“Harry?”

“Eat. It’s not fun if you are hungry.”

“You want me to feed in the shower?” He asked and I could feel him run a finger over my neck, just above the pulse. He moved my hair out of the way and it slopped against my back.

“What? You can’t bite in the shower?” Asher laughed against my neck and I felt his tongue and lips tease my skin. One of his hands moved down my chest getting closer and closer to my arousal. I shuddered and gripped him harder. I half wanted him to touch me and half didn’t. But I didn’t protest. He gripped me and stroked me gently. I moaned and buried my face in his shoulder, shutting my eyes tight.

“I can do more than bite in the shower.” And he bit down. I jerked at the immediate pain and then pleasure overwhelmed me. It rushed through my veins and filled me with the ever ferocious burning. I let myself go, let myself be consumed by the flaming tornado. Just like with dancing I released all inhibitions. I moved my hips to meet Asher’s strokes, I soothed down Asher’s back with one hand and let my other hand play with his nipple. He moaned around the bite and it sent vibrations through my body. My magic slipped from my core and rejoiced in my body. I came, shuddering hard.

“Divine.” Asher mumbled before continuing to drink. I could feel him awakening against my thigh. Fear crept through me before pleasure took its place again. I gripped the hand Asher was pumping me with and pulled it off me. I put it around my waist and pushed my hips forwards so our arousals touched each other. The sensation made me cry out and grip Asher tightly. He pulled away from my neck. I looked up at him, water dripping over my face and obscuring my vision.

He leaned down and kissed me. I could taste myself in his mouth. I would call my magic to clean the taste away but it was so busy rejoicing through my body that it didn’t want to do anything else. Asher’s hands held me against him and we undulated out hips gently. I was so hard now I was almost too sensitive there.

“Asher!” I whined when he pulled away and he chuckled before swallowing any other sounds I had. He kissed his way down my chest and I watched him go. He settled on the floor of the shower, kneeling. He was almost eyelevel with my arousal. I gasped in shock, he couldn’t possibly mean to…

“Ooooh…” I moaned, closing my eyes and shuddering. He’d taken me in his mouth and was sucking and licking me. It felt so good. I shuddered and tried to inch backwards. It wasn’t clean…

“Asher…please…not that…” He pulled away immediately and I slid to my knees too. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and kissed him hard. “It’s unclean…you can’t…not there…”

“We are in a shower.”

“I know but I…” I shook my head. I kissed him lightly again and pulled him up to his feet. “Not that…it’s unclean…anything else.”

“As you like.” He smiled at me, reassuring me. I relaxed against him and pressed myself to his chest. He hugged me close.

“I’m sorry I’m such a bloody wimp.”

“It’s to be expected.” He tried to reassure and I shook my head against him.

“Not it isn’t! God! I bet nobody else is like me. No wonder you turn to others instead of me…” His hands stilled against me and gripped my shoulders. He pushed me away and from the serious look in his eye he was going to say something, argue against my words. “I’m sorry! I just…I want to loose myself in you and I can’t because I’m scared of it all and you deserve more than this! Why can’t I just…let go and do it! Everyone else my age are! Blaise did, thousands of times before he was my age. Why can’t I do this with you even though I like you so much!”

“Shh. You need to relax. Lets get you cleaned up. Let me do everything, I don’t want you to touch anything. Don’t touch me, don’t touch yourself. Don’t touch anything. Let me take care of you.” I nodded and wiped my eyes, tears had streamed down my eyes. I wiped them away and Asher grabbed my hands. “I said you aren’t to touch yourself. Keep your hands by your sides. Will you do as I like?”

“Yes.” I sniffed then scrunched my nose up. Water had shot up my nose. Asher reached for the shampoo. I moved my hand to my face to squeeze my nose. He caught my hand again.

“What did I say?”

“Not to touch myself.”

“Well I’m changing it. You aren’t allowed to move. Your hands are to stay by your side. You aren’t allowed to move.” I sighed and nodded allowing my hand to fall to my side again. Asher smiled and kissed my forehead. “Thank you.”

He lifted the shampoo and poured some into his hand. He put the shampoo back and hen raised both hands to my head. His hands pushed through my hair, rubbing the shampoo into me hair and into my scalp. My breathing hitched and I closed my eyes leaning my head back slightly. He tsked but didn’t say anything. Lips pressed to my cheek and then withdrew. He kept rubbing, giving my head a massage then he withdrew his hands. I heard a clunk and then the shower spray was pouring directly onto my head and my hair. Asher ran a hand through my hair again clearing away the soap and rinsing my hair. When he finished that he put the shower head back.

“Keep your eyes closed.” I made an affirmative sound and I hear the pop of a bottle opening. Then the lid was shut and two hands were on my chest. I tensed and lips pressed against my ear lobe. “Trust me.”

“I do trust you…”

“Then don’t move, just feel.” His hands moved and I could feel him rubbing something over me. His hands slid all over my chest, over my shoulders and up my neck before retreating down one of my arms and then the next rubbing all the time. Then the hands moved around my back, he didn’t miss an inch. He pressed his chest against mine so he could rub a little harder on my back and I moaned at the feeling. His hands dug into the muscles of my back and kneaded them free of knots. I moved my head to bury it into his neck and sighed. It felt so nice.

Then his hands moved lower. They moved over my ass and cupped my butt. I tensed but Asher didn’t stop. He rubbed my skin and slid a hand down between my ass cheeks before moving his body away from mine. His hands slipped around to my hips before retreating completely. I opened my eyes and I saw Asher pouring more shower gel into his hands.

“Close your eyes. It’s easier to feel with your eyes shut.” Asher pressed his chest back into mine and kissed me gently on my lips. I shut my eyes. He ended the kiss after a few teasing licks to my lips. His hands slipped back onto my back and rubbed circles moving lower and lower until he was back with his hands on my butt. I sighed and tried very hard not to open my mouth and ask him to stop. He washed each cheek then swipped his fingers between them several times before sliding his hands forwards and washing my front. One hand cupped my balls, massaging gently with his thumbs. The other hand washed over the rest of my skin and rubbed my arousal. I gasped and panted as he worked me till I was nearly unbearably hard.

“Asher…” Lips pressed against mine again but they were not there long because next thing I knew I could feel Asher’s breath on my arousal again and his hands were working down my legs. He washed my knees and I couldn’t help but giggle at the tickling sensation that rushed through me as Asher washed the backs of my knees. When he got to my feet he guided my hands to his shoulders and got me to hold him while I lifted one leg.

When I was completely clean I heard him take control of the shower head again and lift it from it’s cradle. He held it over my shoulders and rinsed me down completely. The water splashing my arousal made me moan. When Asher pulled my butt cheeks apart and let the spray hit me there I gasped and groaned. He ran his hands over every part of me again then put the shower head back. He slid a hand onto my cheek and tilted my face up then kissed me gently.

“Mmm.” I sighed. I opened my eyes when he pulled away and I flicked my eyes over him. I smiled. “Can I wash you?”

“You can do anything you like.” I smiled and leaned up to kiss him again. Then I moved him under the spray. I grabbed the shampoo and started washing his hair. His hair was beautiful. I rinsed the shampoo out and kissed his neck while I got the shower gel into my hand. I started just like he started. I washed his neck, shoulders and chest first and worked my way down each of his arms. I stood close to clean his back but I didn’t give him the same massage he gave me. I did give him an apologetic lick to his very clean nipple though.

I poured a little more shower gel into my hands and reached behind him again. I ran my hands over his butt and my hands trembled slightly. I wouldn’t stop though. He’d done it for me and I was nothing if not noble, I’d return the favour. I leaned my head up to look at him and Asher craned forwards to kiss me gently. I let my hands continue. I only let my hand pass once between his buttocks though. Then I moved my hands around to his front. I moved to put my hands on him and pulled my hands against my stomach.

Strong, gentle hands took my hands and moved them gently. I watched Asher move my hands back towards his arousal. He pressed my hands to just below his belly button and then made them draw circles on his skin. When my hands were almost touching his arousal I tried to stop the movement. He paused but only briefly. Only enough for me to take a breath. Then he moved my hands again. He moved one hand to his balls and wrapped the other hand around his arousal.

I took another deep breath and allowed Asher to guide my hand up and down his arousal while his other hand encouraged me to gently touch his balls. Then his hands slipped away and he groaned slightly. I watched his expression. His eyes were half lidded, he was still watching me but his focus seemed slightly blurred. I massaged carefully and pumped him while washing him. I watched my hands again. He was clean. I moved my hands a little further down ad began washing his legs. He groaned slightly.

“I take it I was clean?” I laughed ever so slightly and he smiled at me. I washed his left thigh, then his right thigh, right shin, left shin and then I worked on his feet. Once I was done I stood up and pulled the shower head down. I rinsed of his body and when I was rinsing his legs down I glanced at his arousal which was right next to my face. Could I? Could I take that in my mouth like he did to me? It was clean…I just washed it. Could I? I don’t know what to do but it couldn’t be that hard could it? Take it in my mouth and suck…being careful not to bite…

I leaned forwards and it got closer…I couldn’t. I pushed my head into his hip instead and his hand smoothed my hair.

“I need to condition your hair.” Asher said gently and slid a hand under my arm to help me stand up. I stood and looked at him apologetically. He just kissed me. Then he took the shower head off me and hung it back up so the spray was falling over him again. He reached for the conditioner and poured a generous amount into the palm of his hand. He rubbed it into the ends of my hair first then worked his way up.

“Don’t do the top of my head? Or my hair gets very greasy.” Asher nodded and rinsed his hands off before we swapped places under the spray. I reached for the conditioner and started rubbing it into his hair as he washed the conditioner out of my hair. When he stepped under the spray for me to begin to clean the conditioner out of his hair I stepped up and pressed my body to his. He looked at me and I pushed a hand through his hair pulling him down for a kiss.

We kissed and I slid my hands through his slippery hair. He put his hands on my hips and licked my lips, my mouth and my tongue.

“I believe we are finished here, Mon beau.” I opened my eyes and looked at him. Did we have to be finished in the shower? He smiled as I looked regretfully at the shower.

“Come. Allow me to dry you.” I nodded and let him take my by the hand and lead me out of the shower. He wrapped one towel around his waist while he wrapped the other around mine. He led me into the main bedroom and then turned to me. He kissed me and pulled the towel off my waist and began smoothing it over my body. I pulled his off him too and tried to dry him off but I became impatient. I threw the towel away and blasted my magic at him getting rid of the moisture. He gasped and pulled back from the kiss.

“That is cheating.” I shrugged then grinned at him.

“I guess I’m just lucky you don’t punish cheaters like Micah does.” Asher raised an eyebrow but I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him into another kiss. He wrapped me up in his arms again and I tugged him towards the bed. I didn’t want it to stop but I needed to sit down. When I reached the bed I dried myself off with magic and sat down. Asher stopped the kiss and looked around at the bed.

“Don’t stop!” I demanded and pulled him into another kiss. He pulled back.

“I wasn’t planning on stopping.” He grabbed my knees and yanked them upwards. I fell backwards onto the bed and felt Asher lean between my legs, his arousal once again touching mine. He leaned over me and kissed me again before leaning down and licking my nipple, occasionally nipping it and sucking on it.

I gasped and muttered before pushing myself further onto the bed. I tugged Asher with me and eventually made it so my head was on the pillow. He rolled me onto my side and rolled so he was facing me and reached into the drawer on the bedside table. He pulled out a small tube. I stared at it then at him.

“How’re you going to use that?”

“Would you trust me enough to wait and see?” I took another glance at the tube then nodded. Asher grinned, a large fang filled grin. “You honour me.”

He leaned forwards and kissed me again. I felt him put the tube into the hand that was between us while his other hand smoothed down my side and down my leg. He lifted my left and draped it over his thigh before pushing his body forwards. I gasped into the kiss, we were pressed against each other again and our arousals were squashed together comfortably.

I could feel Asher doing something with his hands but his tongue kept my mouth occupied and it’s so hard to think when his tongue does that. He shifted so he was leaning up on his elbow but didn’t break the kiss. His body twisted slightly so it was over mine but we were still on our sides. I felt one of his hands trail behind me and then fingers slipped between my buttocks. I gasped into his mouth as his fingers brushed my hole before one pressed in.

“Ngh!” I whimpered into his mouth as his finger pressed further and further in. His mouth moved off me and he looked at me. I squirmed uncomfortably on his finger but couldn’t get it out of me with that movement alone. The finger hooked slightly and I sucked in breath. Then it straightened and pulled out slightly. I released a slow breath as it moved out of me. Then it moved back in and I gulped in breath again. It pulled out, pushed in, pulled out, pushed in and pulled out again. It nearly completely left my body before a second finger joined it.

“Asher!” I whined to him and wiggled. He didn’t stop his movements, just leaned down and kissed my neck. The hand that was trapped between us grasped my erection and his and pumped us. I moved into it, away from the fingers but they followed. “Asher st-AH!”

Pleasure shot through me. I jerked forwards into Asher’s hands and tensed up completely. The pleasure rippled through my entire being sending stars into the corners of my eyes. Asher pulled back and looked down at me with twinkles in his eyes.

“That would be your prostate.”

“My…AH!” His fingers moved again and more pleasure shot through me. I whimpered and pulled him into a kiss. Every time he hit my prostate I groaned and bucked into him. Asher released my arousal and rolled us over so he was on top with his fingers still lodged inside me. I threw my head from side to side, pleasure ripped through me and burst from my mouth.

“I’m adding another finger.” I nodded, not really hearing what he was saying. Then his fingers were going and I whimpered and tried to see what had happened. Asher had the tube in his hand again and was pouring whatever was in the tube onto his fingers. The liquid coated his fingers and he moved his hand back around. I watched him and then felt his fingers pushing between my buttocks. I raised my hips and he slid his fingers back inside me again. One finger first then quickly a second then a third.

“Uh…that doesn’t feel so good…” I moaned and squeezed my eyes shut. Asher took away the third finger and I breathed a sigh of relief. He flexed his fingers within me, hooking them and twisting them. Then the third one tried again to slip inside me. “Ah!”

Asher leaned down and kissed me, our arousals rubbed against each other and Asher began to rock our bodies. The friction was wonderful against my arousal and I could feel the pleasure building. Then he hit my prostate and the world filled with stars. Pleasure burst out of me and with it went my magic.

-

Asher lay down next to me on the bed and I pushed myself against him, cuddling into his gentle heat. He hugged me to his chest and kissed the top of my head. I waved a shaky hand between us and cleaned us of the mess we’d made. My ass felt slightly uncomfortable and tingly but I didn’t mind because it had felt good.

“Will you tell me what had you so upset?” I sighed and shifted against Asher. My hyper-sensitized skin reminded me that I was naked. I sat up and brought my knees to my chest. Asher sat up too and kissed my temple. I sighed and looked over at him, still hugging my knees close.

“I have to go back to England for a while. The ministry is trying to take control of Blaise’s vaults. I have to go back and stop them.”

“I see. When is this?”

“The court hearing is on the 9th of September. I’ll have to go a few days before then to try to adjust to the time difference. Richard suggested taking someone with me. You and Jean-Claude can’t go because you have your duties and the hearing would be during the day and you die at sunrise. Richard can’t go because he has school. I was going to ask Nathaniel tomorrow.” Asher nodded and wrapped his arms around my chest.

“I do not know whether Anita will allow her favourite to go all the way to England.”

“I know but I have to try. Other wise I’ll have to go alone.”

“Will you come back?” I jerked around, shocked at Asher’s words.

“Of course! I love y…it here.” Oh my god. I bit my tongue and looked away very quickly.

“Harry?” Oh my god…I can’t believe I nearly said that! How bloody stupid! I moved to get off the bed. It had just rolled off my tongue…or started to before I caught myself. What the bloody hell was I thinking?! Obviously, that was the problem, I wasn’t thinking! I put my feet on the floor and pushed myself onto my feet.

Hands grabbed my waist and I was tugged back. Fell backwards and slid across the sheets until I hit Asher’s chest. I gripped his arms tightly, disorientated for a moment, before trying to push his hands off me.

“Let me go Asher.”

“No. I will not let you turn away from this now. I am happy to know you will be returning to me, to St Louis.” I sighed and relaxed slightly. His arms tightened briefly around me then he let go and I pushed myself upright. He was watching me closely for a while.

“I will come back. I promise.” I gave him a small smile and he nodded. I leaned forwards and kissed him lightly on the lips before kissing just above where his pulse would have been on his neck. He held me to him for a moment before drawing me back to lie on the bed.

“Will you come and see me before you leave?”

“Of course. I wouldn’t just up and leave without telling you.”

“Good.”

Notes: Thank you all so much for reviewing. There was one slightly negative review - the person dislikes the 1st person point of view and therefore won't read the story. I'm glad you all seem to be enjoying it. I've decided I need to work some more on chapter 23 but again you have updates for the next few days that will be fast in coming. Enjoy! And, if you have any stories you can recommend I read please please recommend them.
