"No bloody way?!" Kat repeated again. Confusion evident in her voice.
"Yeah. That was all he said." Lyra replied as she tugged at the pillow on her queen sized bed, she leaned against the headboard.
This wasn't the first time she didn't get the job, but it was usually during the interview, or after. But this– this wasn't any of that. He looked like he'd seen a ghost. And the next thing was 'no bloody way.'
He felt familiar to her being in an unfamiliar way. She couldn't help but wonder if they'd met before. Could he have been a displeased customer? She highly doubted that.
"That's weird. And you've never met before? " Kat asked again.
"No. We've never. Not that I recall." Lyra sighed, raking her fingers through her hair. Today was a total waste of effort.
"What are you going to do now?"
There was nothing Lyra could do. At first she'd thought
Marcellus Marcellus had his black silk robe and black pants on. A smile crept up to his lips as he tugged the cigarette between them, nesting his glass of liquor on the table beside the couch he sat on. He recklessly swung his other arm behind his head.Lyra, as she'd called her name said nothing after he'd given her a three–day offer. She merely just walked away. But he was confident—too confident to say the least. He could tell she found his offer irresistible, he saw desperation in her eyes when he'd gazed into it.He saw hesitation and restraint in them, but he was sure she would break and would come running back to him in the next three days. Either of them had what the other wanted; she wanted a job, he wanted her blood. It was a win–win situation for both of them, even though she knew nothing of his intentions towards her.He couldn't help the smug smiles that found thei
LyraJan. 09.2021She'd accepted.Lyra found his offer too irresistible and too good to be true, but she couldn't turn it down. At the dawn of the third day, she'd mailed her response and he'd sent his manager to come pick her the fourth.She was desperate.She could only assume he also was if he'd decided to pay such a huge sum of money for just a mere secretary at the expense of her living with him.Of course she'd tried to figure out why she had to live with him. But she could find no suitable explanation or reason. He probably could eventually turn out to be a serial killer or a sick psychotic maniac who found pleasure in luring women to his house by flaunting his wealth in their faces.Kat was totally against the idea. But after Shannon had assured her multiple times over the last tw
MarcellusThat particular scent drove him straight to the kitchen. She was here, her blonde hair was up in a messy ponytail. But his brother also had the audacity to make steak in his kitchen without his permission."I don't remember asking you to cook for me. Angel. Just because I let you stay, doesn't mean I have given you access to my house." Marcellus scowled.Why couldn't Angelus just stay where he'd put him? After Angelus had bugged him too much last night and wouldn't go away, he had no choice but to agree to him staying at his place. They might have been a twin, but they were only similar in appearance. Their personalities was far more different.For one, Marcellus had always thought Angelus to be lousy and ridiculous. Marcellus had to hold back a scoff, he'd been at the doorway for a while watching the way the new woman gawked at Angelus' body and also the way Angelus'
LyraLyra fumed for an unknown reason as Marcellus dragged Shannon out of the room, not even acknowledging her presence in one bit. Leaving her with his twin. Well, from the little she'd noticed, Angel was carefree and easy going. His name surely did reflect in his personality—Angel. They were completely non identical. Their faces and body size—height included, was exactly the same.The only visible difference was that Angelus had freckles and dimples when he smiled. But there was no way to know if Marcel had dimples since she hadn't seen him smile.She had to settle herself in, and begin with work. She couldn't wait to start working again. She'd been lazing around for far too long."So sugarplum, how did you get caught up with a lunatic like Marcel?" Angel asked, placing a fine chinaware on the table.From the delicate patterns on it, Lyra could
Marcellus "What?! " Marcellus turned back, gazing at her. Unsure of what she meant.Lyra hastily dropped down the bed, walking towards him."It was you. A year ago, you saved me." She spoke again her voice quivering.Marcellus' eyes bulged wide open in surprise. That was impossible! There was no way she would remember! He...he compelled her. Noone could resist compulsion. Except they were a bloody werewolf!! But she wasn't, she was just a human—wasn't she? He blurred towards her, wrapping his fingers around her neck.Lyra gasped as their skin touched, his cold ones sending shivers down her spine. Marcellus pushed her against the wall. Her pulse leaped and her heart hammered frantically at her chest.The crimson in his eyes seemed to burn brightly from confusion, his fangs popped out on their own and a vein of worry and dismay protruded f
LyraThe door to Marcellus room opened and Shannon led in two young females who seemed to be in their twenties. They had a white see through robe on that revealed everything underneath. Lyra watched bewildered as they trooped in."They're here," Shannon acknowledged Lyra with a smile before turning to Marcellus who was now sitting on the black leather couch in his room."Danny and Melanie at your service, your Lordship." The two girls curtesied happily.Marcellus hummed before gesturing with his hand, pointing to the space beside him. Shannon seeing this as her cue to leave walked back out of the room.The two girls shrugged down their robes, leaving them unclad. Their porcelain skin glowed and something behind their necks caught Lyra's attention as they wiggled their hips toward him.The reddish–pink welts behind their neck had a name which
Lyra. Jan. 10.2021"Sit, and don't make me say it again." He grounded out. His voice reeked of dominance holding a certain threat behind them. With that, Lyra sat mute. Only watching and listening. Marcellus gently tugged Melanie's hair off her neck and she tilted it to a side. He inhaled, his muscles rippled under tension and a vein popped out of his neck when he gritted his teeth. He sniffed her scent, the tip of his nose nuzzled her neck. With a grunt he lifted his lips to it. His already visible fangs tore through her skin instantly and Lyra nearly screamed in horror. But she stomached the nausea that had began to build inside of her as Marcellus continued to draw her blood into his mouth. His arms curled around her in a vice–grip and his eyes settled on Lyra's, cold and devoid of any emotions. A hard knock j
Marcellus Jan. 12. 2021Marcellus walked over to Angelus' suite in his home. Four robed girls followed him and he signaled them to wait outside as he pushed the doors open.The room was dark. Only a few candlelights lit the room. It was a typical example of an uncivilized vampire's habitat. But even in the dimness of the room, their eyes met and Angelus yanked the bedsheets off himself.One day he was going to taunt him with this, seeing how they'd all thought he needed to evolve. But now, he'd evolved a lot. Today wasn't the day for taunting, there were other wicked things he'd had in mind.Angelus climbed down the bed when Marcellus approached. He groaned before sitting at the edge of the bed."Why are you in my room at this hour? It's just five in the morning.""We need to talk.""About
