46: Tresspasser
When we arrived at the cafeteria, my eyes went to a certain direction at once—at the exact spot where the Rellis always can be seen at this time. I gasped and felt the urge to stop and turn back. But when I felt Carter's hand on mine, holding it gently, guiding me towards his family, the urge to stop and walk away vanished. If he is this serious with me, then it is fair to show how serious I am about him, right?
"Trust me, everything's going to be all right," Carter whispered gently before we finally reached his siblings' table.
"Hello, Eve!" Emery chirped and I was surprised when she stood up and offered me her hand. "I'm Emery," she said with her very soft and feminine voice. But although she is kind of cute in terms of appearance, her blank amber eyes told me how lethal she could be if she wants to.
"Hi," I said in a little voice and reached for her hand even though I hesitated at first. Like Carter's, her skin wasn

"Who are you?" I asked, I made sure that my voice was loud enough for someone on the other side to hear me. However, a few seconds passed and I didn't hear any response at all. It added to the tension I'm feeling."Whoever you are, let me remind you that you are trespassing on the house of this town's mayor. And a cop is also staying in this house. I will give you a chance to leave, but if you won't, I will have no choice but to report you to the authority. So get out of my Mom's house now," I said, unleashing the full authority in my voice."Hmm... so you are the mayor's daughter. Everleigh Delluci, right?" It was a man's voice, no doubt. Only that, it was not familiar to me in any way so I got no idea who is he. But I guess he came here for one thing: its either he is a thief or he is here to do damages because he has a grudge over Mom or something. That is really one of the downsides when you are in politics. You will always have ha

"Give me a second. I will just lock the doors downstairs," Carter said after he had calmed.I nodded and he moved so fast like light. Before I made my way to the bed—just two second had passed—he was already back on my side."That was quiet quick," I mumbled as I sat on the bed. I tapped the space beside me, gesturing him to sit."With you not in my sight... it makes me uncomfortable. You attract dangers and that what's I'm worried about," he said and sat next to me.I chuckled. "Well, that is me. I got used to it anyway, so you don't have to worry too much.""How can I stop worrying too much when the types of dangers you attract are too dangerous for you? Just like earlier..." His eyes turned dark again which means that he is mad again. "What happened makes me want to stay wherever you are always to watch over you. I... don't know what would I do if something bad happens to you, Eve. Do you understand that?"His voice was deep a
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 49: Poor and Powerless
To hear it from Carter himself that it wasn't stated in their rules that it is forbidden for a vampire to have a relationship with a woman gave me relief. I may be in love with him deeply but I will not want him to break their rules for me and be given a death sentence later on. Harming Carter in any way is the least thing I would want. I would rather die than be the reason of his death."If what this vampire is doing is against your rules, then why is your government not doing anything?" I asked, my fingers playing on the pillow on my lap."I think the news hadn't reached them yet. But my father already submitted a report earlier this morning, so they would probably work on it soon." His voice then went lower. "Don't you mind if I stay here? You know, I will be just around the corner... to watch you, to guard you. I really can't have my peace of mind if you stay here alone, especially when there is a creature hunting people at night."

I smiled and closed the gap between us. His hands were immediately on my waist the moment my lips touched his. However, he held me not to pull me, but to held me in place with amazing control."I'm sorry," I muttered after the kiss that took only several seconds. "I couldn't help.""That was my line," he said and before I could react, he attacked me with gentle kisses.His breathing was hot and every flick of his tongue on mine keeps me from wanting more. I could no longer hold my sanity. I was so lost at his passionate kisses that the next thing I knew, I was already straddling on him, my arms around his nape as our kiss went deeper."Eve..." he mumbled so huskily as his lips traced my jaw down to my throat. I closed my eyes at the sensations. His lips was warm yet wetting my skin at the same time."You are such a very beautiful temptation. I badly want to devour you but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able t
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 51: Mafia Vampire
My lips was apart but I couldn't say anything. It wasn't because I found it creepy, but it's because I'm embarrassed thinking about how bad things he had seen. I'm really not the type of sleeper who is very elegant when sleeping, you know. I often move around my bed and sometimes, I even fall on the floor. And there are also times that I sleeptalk which is really embarrassing for him to witness."I never touched you, though," he added when he noticed my silence.I shook my head, my eyes looking down at the pillow in my lap. I couldn't dare look at him."That's not it, Carter. What have you seen while I'm sleeping? Tell me honestly. Were there nights that you were around and I fell on my bed? I sleeptalk? I keep on rolling like I'm dancing on the bed?"There was silence.I was curious as to why he wasn't saying anything so I had no choice but to look at him. The corners of his lips were up and I could sense that he
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 52: Not Convicted
"They were not convicted maybe because they were innocent. Don't judge people without knowing them deeply, Jax. Carter is a good person and so as his family. You are the wrong between us because I'm sure I am not dating the wrong guy." "Damn, Eve. I know you are such a risk-taker, all right. But will you please listen to me even just for this once?" "I will only listen you to if you are reasonable enough, Jax. But how can I believe you if you do not have proofs on hand for all your baseless accusations? You are the one that should stop this, Jax. I will not buy anything that you say about Carter. He and his family doesn't deserve all the bad things you used to describe them." I don't like anyone even my friend talking bad about Carter. I understand that he looks really dangerous and snob but it doesn't mean that they will just judge him just like that. "If you have nothing good to say, then I need to go. I still have classes," I said firmly and was ab
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 53: Using a Chopper
Mom and Felix was still not home and so as Tessa, so I have no choice but to make my own breakfast. Carter went with me to the kitchen. I just got a bowl and a box of cereals and had some milk."That is only your breakfast? I don't eat human food but I had lived long enough to know some things about your kind. Don't you think that is just too light for a meal?" Carter expressed his opinion about my bowl of cereal."What is wrong with my breakfast? This is light but nutritious. I don't like heavy breakfast at all. I'm used to this so this would do. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with this."I sat on the high chair in front of the counter top. Carter just stood beside me.I suddenly remembered something."By the way, Irish will go out with Peter this night to watch movie outside Lynnwood. She invited us. It is not a bad idea.""If you want to go, then I will go with you," he said right away as
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 54: Jump on the Cliff
"Don't tell me you have a chopper at your house's backyard?" I asked while grinning."We don't, but I can buy one. I also knows how to fly one, even a plane," he said plainly, without a hint of arrogance but any human man who would hear it would surely be hit by insecurity."Is there even something that you can't do?" I think it is also a perk of being alive for centuries. You can try out everything without worrying about time."Actually, there is."My eyes narrowed. "What?" Because for me, it seems like there is nothing he can't do. Every time I look at him, he always give me the impression of someone who is capable of doing anything that he would want. He has the air that screams power and authority as though he is invincible. That is why to hear him say himself that there is something that he is not capable of doing, it sounds very new and I can't help but be somehow astonished."I can't stop loving you."The wind blew my hair. Half of hi
