Summary: This fanfic takes place in an AU during Chapters 10 – The Massacre and 11 – The Den, when Jax rescues Amy (MC) and Lily and takes them do the Shadow Den as his guests and he shows them how a good host he is. *wiggle eyebrows*
Author’s note: my submission for Choices Creates #65 – Non-canon couples by @clonedhayden! I loved how Lily fangirled so hard over Jax (me too, sis, me too!) and they shared so many things in common (starting by their love for trashy movies lol and especially after Lily chose to go with the Clanless in today’s chapter and now I won’t see my two favorite characters sigh), and I lived for that threesome scene, so… All characters belong to Pixelberry and some of the dialogues here are from the game. If you don’t want to see this kind of content in your dash, please, filter the tag “#Jax x Lily”. And no hate will be allowed towards my favorite bi mess nerdy best friend cinnamon roll girl!!!! And I’m laughing with this summary because it is so cheesy lol I can’t even stand myself sometimes
If someone had told Lily Spencer a week ago that she would have been almost killed by a vampire, then Turned into one by her best friend and roommate’s boss, and then be in a (vampire) themed masquerade ball, she would have definitely laughed on their face and asked “dude, what are you smoking? Because I need some of it”.
But that was exactly what happened. And now, she and Amy were just back to New York. One second they were dancing and having fun in that ridiculously fancy masquerade ball and the next… a bunch of vampire zombies came in attacking everyone. Adrian told them to flee and stay safe. Since their apartment wasn’t safe – she almost died there a couple of nights before – and with both Adrian and Kamilah out – they stayed with the other Clan leaders having an emergency reunion after the attack -, Amy called this “Clanless rebel leader guy” she knew whose name sounded like as if he was a videogame character, Jax with a ‘x’.
“This is the ‘safehouse’?” – Lily asked as both girls followed Jax’s directions to a run-down warehouse in Hoboken. – “Cuz, uh, it feels like sketch city.”
“This is the address he gave me. If he doesn’t show up in five minutes, we’re going back to the—“
Suddenly a shadow appeared next to Lily and Amy, startling them both. Lily hid behind her friend by instinct.
“Amy.” – the dark haired man said with a low, husky voice. He wore a leather jacket that fitted perfectly into his body.
Damn, he was hot!
“Jax!” – her friend shouted in response, a hand on her chest.
Lily felt Jax’s eyes looking curiously at her ripped gown.
“You’ve got a Clan it seems. So what do you need me for?” – he calmly said as he waved his hand towards the Brand Adrian gave her.
“Uh… it’s kind of a long story…”
“I’m immortal. I’ve got time.” – Jax crossed his arms above his chest, his muscles visibly flexing under his jacket. Hmm.
“We were at the Awakening Ball…”
“Pffft. Elitist wankery.”
“Ha!” – Lily couldn’t contain herself.
“Really, Lily?” – Amy glared at her.
“Sorry. I mean, it was fun, but at the same time I agree. Is that wrong?”
“Please, go on.” – Jax said to her best friend, after nodding at Lily in agreement.
“Well, a bunch of Ferals got in and started attacking everyone. The Council members fought back and killed them, but now tensions are running high while they try to figure out who let them in…”
“And unrest in the Council means unrest for the Clanless.” – Jax scowled. – “Come with me.”
He led them down a side alley where the walls were covered in old posters and ads. He stopped in front of an ancient poster for a movie titled ‘Blood Sacrifice: Dracula’s Revenge’.
“Oh man, this movie’s so good. The part where Dracula rips that dude’s throat out and uses it as a straw…”
“That’s my favorite part too. Always nice to meet a vampire with taste.” – Jax grinned at her and Lily felt her cheeks flushing. He was insanely hot and liked cheesy-looking horror movies full of unnecessary violence and bloodshed like her! Maybe that night wouldn’t end so bad after all. He hooked his hand behind the poster and slid it aside, revealing a ladder descending into darkness. – “After you.”
They took the ladder down into an abandoned subway tunnel. Famous last words. Now they were going to be killed there. To where was this dude taking them again?
“This is it?” – it was eerie and dimly lit, and their words echoed off the walls when they talked.
“Um… how well do you know this guy again, Amy?” – Lily nervously whispered to her friend. Jax gave them both an appraising look before continuing down the tunnel wordlessly. She and Amy shared a look, before following.
“How long ago were you Turned, Lily?” – he asked as they walked further and further.
“Not that long. A couple of days.”
“You seem like you’re adjusting well.”
“I’ve had a lot of help and support.” – she smiled, remembering Adrian’s warm welcome to his Clan and Kamilah helping her adjust with her new super sensitive senses and strength. With her new life, basically.
“Must be nice.”
“She was lucky to get a special approval after her Turning, because Adrian saved her life after she was attacked and left for dead…”
“I’m so grateful to him.”
“Screw the Council.” – Jax scowled.
“What?” – why he was so suddenly mad?
“Why should it be up to six vampires of a secret council to decide which of us lives or dies? Shouldn’t we all have that right?”
“Well…” – Lily didn’t think much about what it meant being a Clan vampire. She was just so excited and overwhelmed by her new life that she never thought about the other side. About what that meant to those who were Clanless. She didn’t even know about them, to be honest. But when Jax said it… – “Actually… yeah. It’s a bunch of bull, isn’t it?” – he took a deep breath.
“I’m glad for you. None of us deserves to die. I just hope you see the injustice of it.” – he said, much calmer.
She did.
Amy and Jax got into a discussion about the Clans and the Clanless, his people… Lily felt her head spinning with all the new information.
“So wait, let me get this straight. You’re like the hot, badass leader of the rebel vampires? That’s an actual thing that you are?” – she asked him.
“Clearly, I need to update my business cards.”
“Amy, why didn’t you tell me you had such interesting friends?” – Lily asked her friend, her eyes longing on that man walking in front of her, looking at him under a new light. Oh, he was so her type.
“Wild times, Lil. In our old lives, I would have just introduced you over drinks, not wandering through some deserted, old…” – Amy stopped short as Jax led them around a corner…
…To a vast, abandoned, Art-Deco style train station that’d been turned into a vibrant underground village.
“This is the Shadow Den.” – he gestured around them with a proud grin on his face.
“This place just went from creepy to amazing in two seconds flat.” – Lily said with her jaw dropped open. – “It’s like a Mediterranean village constructed by Imperator Furiosa!” – the 1920s Deco mosaic ceilings arched over shops, food stands, and elaborately decorated private quarters constructed from found objects… – “But what… what is it?”
“It’s our home.”
“I thought you said that you have to move constantly? This looks pretty darn settled.”
Jax started explaining to them about how the Clanless worked. It was far from ideal and Amy said that Adrian would want to help them if he knew how things were, but Jax didn’t want to risk the Council learning about the Shadow Den and he wouldn’t bet his people’s lives on ‘some CEO’s compassion’.
“So… is it cool if we hang out here? Just until it’s safe for us to go back up.” – Lily thought it was better ask him, since he felt all this hatred towards the whole Clan and Council thing.
“Yes. You’re under my protection and welcome to stay here as my guests. Let me show you around…”
He strided deeper into the Shadow Den and she and Amy walked down the main thoroughfare behind him. The residents came running up to him, hugging and greeting him like as if he was some kind of a rockstar. As if he was their God.
“Wow, he’s like the Clanless Beyoncé…And also, like, alarminglyhot.” – Lily murmured with dreamy eyes. Oh boy, she was crushing so hard on him. Amy shushed her. – “What?” – realisation hit her hard. – “Oh my God, did you…?”
“No!” – and then Jax suddenly turned back to them, interrupting their conversation.
“Lily. Have you fed recently?”
“Yeah, but I could eat…”
“We have plenty of blood in our feeding lounge.”
Those were the magic words. Lily suddenly felt her throat dry. She was so thirsty. She was so lost in her mind thinking about the sweet taste of blood, that she didn’t catch up Amy’s and Jax’s entire chat, just that he could cook something for her best friend.
“You’re good with a sword and you cook?” – what the hell? Where this man had been in her entire life?
“It’s not often I get to cook for guests, but I dabble. I’d like to think I’m pretty good.” – he grinned confidently before turning back to Amy.
“Bad. Ass.” – Lily mouthed to Amy over his shoulder. Her friend rolled her eyes, but she had a smile on her lips. Yep, she was totally fangirling and crushing on that hot cook rebel leader vampire. They both were.
“Or if you prefer, you can find some things to eat in the central square.”
“I’d love to.” – Lily saw a coyly smile on Amy’s face that she knew very well what it meant. Oh, her girl was getting laid. Hell yeah!
“Excellent! I hope my knife skills aren’t too rusty. That was a joke. I keep my knives sharpened and polished at all times.” – he said as if it wasn’t clear enough.
“I’m sure you do.” – Amy kept smiling at him.
“Lily, I’ll have someone show you to the feeding den.” – Jax said, gesturing to someone to approach them.
“Thanks! You two have fun.” – Lily winked at her best friend, who rolled her eyes again, before wrapping her in a hug.
“You’ll be okay?”
“Yeah, I think so. I’m getting the vibe these are my kind of people.”
And then, a vampire led her towards the center of the Den, into an elegantly canopied tent. But there was this ridiculously long line. The vampire told her to wait, although she didn’t want to. She was hungry to the point to starving, and that would be a problem. Kamilah told her about bloodlust and to be careful about it. She thought about asking as gently as possible to trade places with someone, but everyone glared uneasily and suspiciously at her. Lily didn’t blame them – she was an unknown vampire in their house – and didn’t have the guts to talk to anyone either, so she walked back to the central square.
Moments later, a dark haired figure in a leather jacket that she knew met up with her.
“Oh good, you’re here!” – she didn’t try to sound so excited to see Jax. He was alone. – “Where’s Amy?”
“Sleeping. It’s the dead of the night and she’s a human after all. Did you get to feed?”
“Not yet. I tried, but there was a long line, and I didn’t want to butt in… Plus, everyone was like glaring at me.”
“The residents here can be a bit hostile towards outsiders. I can go with you and make sure that they won’t attack you.”
“Oh, I don’t want to cause any problem—“
“It’s not problem at all. You’re hungry and deserves to feed too. And you’re a guest. Guests should always be a priority.” – and then he led her inside to the feeding lounge.
While Jax talked to someone, Lily took a good look around. The place was a room full of humans sitting quietly on couches and floor pillows, allowing themselves to be fed upon vampires. Her eyes instantly light up at all those exposed necks, at all that dripping blood. She licked her lips hungrily, feeling her tongue slightly touching her now extended fangs.
“Done. They’ll find you a donor soon. We just need to wait for a couple of minutes.” – Jax said, bringing her back to her senses.
“Thanks, I mean it. I can’t thank you enough for doing this for me and for Amy.”
“Please. As I told you before, you are my guests and I’ll personally make sure that you find your staying here as pleasurable as possible.”
Hmm, ‘pleasurable’. She knew damn well how he could please her…
“…I imagined the feeding lounge so different from this.” – she shook her head, dismissing those thoughts. That was not the time to be all horny too, she already was feeling hungry! – “I imagined it more like a dungeon where you kept people in cages or whatever.” – Jax laughed beside her.
“You watch too many movies.”
“I guess it is because of the videogames, actually.”
“Oh, I liked playing videogames too. I had a Nintendo Color TV-Game myself.” – her jaw dropped.
“Shut up! It was released in Japan only!” – he grinned at her.
“Another perk of being Japanese, I guess. Part of my family still lives there.”
“This is so cool!” – but before she could ask him which were his favorite animes and mangas, someone approached them saying that they found her a volunteer.
Jax guided her towards a couch, his large and rough hand on the small of her back.
“Uh, hey.” – Lily awkwardly waved to the young woman in front of her.
“Hello.” – she simply said, looking used to it. In fact, she was scrolling through her phone.
Her neck was totally exposed to Lily, but she couldn’t move a single muscle.
“Is there a problem?” – Jax asked beside her.
“Uh… actually, this is the first time that I feed on someone with so many people around… In Kamilah’s place the volunteers were each in one room… you know?”
“This is no problem. We have individual rooms for the shyer ones.” – he grinned at her, teasingly. – “I just never thought that you were one of them.”
“Shut up.” – she rolled her eyes, her cheeks flushing. – “Can we go there?”
“Of course. If it’s no problem for you too.” – he asked the girl in front of them, who simply shrugged and followed them towards an adjoining tent.
The rooms were separated by curtains, but Lily noticed that they probably were the only ones there, since the rest was in the main lounge.
The donor plopped down onto the couch comfortably. Lily sat by her side, her finger tracing her jugular.
“Do you know how to do this?” – Jax asked, watching her tensely. He decided to stay close, ready to stop her if necessary. He knew that recently Turned vampires didn’t know when to stop.
“I guess so…” – Lily murmured, her eyes already shining red and her fangs extended.
“Just go slow, Lily.” – he said, standing behind her.
And then, with a swift move, she sank her fangs into the girl’s neck, who gasped in shock, before moaning with delight.
Her blood was so sweet and delicious. Lily groaned against the woman’s neck, her eyes closed, taking in the sensation of the blood running down her throat. She held the donor closer, tightening the grip on her waist, and the girl moaned again, waves of pleasure hitting them both. It was so intoxicating, so delirious. She felt a shiver running throughout the girl’s body as her own body started feeling hotter and hotter.
“…Okay, that is enough.” – she felt Jax’s hand on her shoulder. Lily didn’t want to let her go, it felt so damn good… – “Lily.” – she heard his firm voice again.
Reluctantly, she pulled away from the girl and sealed the punctures in her neck. Lily’s tongue ran over her lips, caressing her own fangs, trying to taste any last drop of blood.
“Wow, that was… that was something else.” – Lily grinned at the girl.
“Yeah… It was.” – the volunteer had this look of total bliss on her face.
“Thanks for your donor.” – Jax told the stranger as a vampire came into the tent and walked the still looking blissed girl out of there, leaving Lily and Jax alone.
“Damn, that was so good!” – Lily squealed, slumping back down, her hands running over her thighs. She looked up to Jax, still standing up beside the couch. – “Thanks, Ja—“ – her voice died when her eyes locked with his, that were shining bright red.
Lily felt goosebumps all over her body by the way he hungrily glared to her. She could feel the electrified air between them.
“I’m impressed. You’re very good at feeding on people.” – he said, his voice low and husky. She giggled, but he kept saying: – “…I won’t say ‘no’ if you want to do it.”
Her heart leapt inside her chest, and her eyes faded to red again, her fangs back, arousal running throughout her body.
“Is Amy going to be okay with this?” – she asked as Jax sat beside her.
“Why shouldn’t she? I care about her, but it’s not like we’re exclusive or something. This is just the second time we met each other.”
“Yeah, but you already fucked.” – Jax chuckled.
“The flesh is weak, the tensions are high and we should relax, don’t you think? Plus, she never mentioned it, but I know she has feelings towards Adrian Raines. The way she talks about him is much more than just a ‘professional admiration’.” – it was Lily’s turn to laugh. Jax was right, Amy was so into her boss.
She couldn’t blame her best friend, thought. Adrian was a super kind and nice dude and he was her Maker, so she would always have a special connection with him, but… Lily never had the hots for the crazy rich CEOs… and she was as horny as scared of Kamilah. That woman was something out of this world and so out of her league.
But Jax… Jax was totally her type. She would never be able to deny him.
Without saying anything else, Jax leaned in and kissed her lips. Lily felt his fangs brushing on her mouth as they kissed each other urgently and passionately, none of them thinking anymore, just being led by their own lust.
She slid his jacket off his shoulders and Jax tugged of his shirt too. Her hands immediately started caressing his strong chest and powerful arms. With her ultra sensitive senses, she could feel every scar on his smooth skin, his smell enveloping her, his heart beating fast and heavy on his chest.
“Wow, you’re just… wow.” – Jax chuckled with her remark.
“You’re too. But I guess I feel a little undressed now.” – he pointed to the fancy gown she still was wearing.
“Oh, I might need some help getting off of it… will you help me?”
“It’d be my pleasure.” – Jax grinned, his fangs exposed. Lily turned her back to him.
He slowly undid the fastenings of her dress, his hands caressing the soft skin of her back and his fangs gently scraping her neck, clearly teasing her.
God, she wanted him so bad. She was so hungry for him.
As soon as Lily was free from her dress, she impatiently discarded the rest of her clothes, under Jax’s gaze.
“Now, you’re overdressed.” – she said, before leaning in and meeting his lips in a lustful kiss. He kissed her back with the same intensity while he tugged off his pants and boxer briefs in one swift move.
She suddenly shoved him and Jax chuckled softly when he felt his back hitting the couch beneath him. Lily climbed on top of him, her hands clinging onto his broad shoulders, her tongue trancing from his collarbone to his jugular.
“I want you. Now.” – she purred, practically ordering him.
She saw the glance of Jax’s smile before he slid inside her. Lily groaned with the sensation of him filling her, her nails digging into the flesh of his chest.
“So good…” – he murmured, his rough hands around her waist, holding her tight as he thrusted in her. Lily moaned as she rode him.
The sensation of him all around her was so overwhelming. She wanted more. So much more.
She sank her fangs into his neck, sucking his blood. He gasped under her, but melt into it, the sharp pain quickly turning into something much more pleasurable. Lily moaned again. Somehow, it felt even better than that girl’s blood. It felt as dense as a full bodied red wine. So, so good.
“I’m not food, Lily.” – Jax said, although he didn’t sound angry at her.
“Oh shut up. I know you’re enjoying it as much as I am.” – she whispered when she finally pulled out of his neck, licking the blood dripping from her lips.
He grinned at her and pulled her face against his, his fangs deliciously biting her lower lip and he tasted his own blood. She moaned when his hips started pushing assertively forward at her, faster and deeper, bringing her close to the edge. Lily moaned louder and louder until those hallucinating waves of pleasure hit both of them as they came almost at the same time.
Lily laid on top of him, both of them panting, their skins hot and sweaty against each other. She could feel his heart pounding under her fingers, her head resting on his shoulders. His neck was already completely healed.
“Wow.” – she murmured and he chuckled underneath her.
“I’m pretty sure everyone heard your moans from the feeding lounge. And they know that it wasn’t just because of the feeding.” – he said, twirling her purple hair around his fingers.
“Let them hear. This was just…”
“‘Wow’?” – Jax finished her phrase, chuckling again. She felt his other hand running up and down her back.
“This too. But mostly, hot and incredible. Like you.”
“You flatter me.” – he pulled her chin towards his and kissed her tenderly, but passionately. – “But as I said, the satisfaction of my guests is my priority.” – he smirked at her, and Lily giggled.
“You’re a very damn good host, Jax.” – they stayed like that in each other’s arms for a few more minutes, until he finally sighed.
“As much as I wished I could stay here the whole day, I need to take care of some things and do my errands.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t want to take more of your time, hot-badass-rebel-leader.” – she said as they sat on the couch. He grinned at her before starting dressing himself up. She did as well.
“Ugh, is there any place where I can find new clothes? Corsets are awesome, but also, I like breathing.” – she asked as he helped her with the fastenings of her gown.
“Oh, I know the right place.” – he found a pen and draw a map on the palm of her hand. It tickled. – “Look for ‘Elena’. You should take Amy there too.”
“Alright, thanks!”
“I wish I could go with you.” – his dark eyes searched hers. – “Please, be careful. If my people find out that you’re a Clan vampire…” – she nodded at him, brushing her thumb on his worried face.
“I will. Thank you for your help, Jax. And for everything. And for this warm welcome.” – she mischievously smiled at him.
He grinned back at her and they walked out of the tent. Lily felt the vampires and humans eyes all over them as they walked back to the central square of the Shadow Den. Oh, they had definitely heard them.
And she didn’t give a fuck.
Jax gave her the directions to his private quarters and winked at her before going to do whatever he needed to do. As she walked there, she looked around the Den, the vampires laughing and talking to each other and the kids were playing. She got this feeling of a real community, where everyone got each other’s backs, where everyone was as important as the other. They were her kind of people and although she’s been there less than a day, she felt like the Clanless was where she belonged.
But she would think more about it later.
Lily found a peacefully asleep and naked Amy on Jax’s mattress.
“Amy, wake up!” – she plopped down next to her, startling her best friend.
“Lily!” – Amy squealed wide awake as Lily tossed her clothes at her.
“Let’s get us free from these clothes! I’m starting to feel my lungs aching inside this corset!” – her friend rolled her eyes.
“You’re so dramatic, Lil.” – Amy started to dress herself. – “Did you get to feed?”
“Oh yeah, I’m satisfied. There was this long line, but Jax helped me as a guest.”
“Jax is a great host, isn’t he?” – Amy said, with a dreamy smile on her face.
“Oh, the best.” – Lily agreed, grinning mischievously.
