My Vampire’s Temptation 20. 99 Problems
DemetriusEven though I assumed as much, the words still sting. I stand at her door after I walked out leaning my head against it contemplating if I should go back in and try to explain further, but then I hear what she said. She hates me. I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve completely disrupted her life. She’s right, it was selfish of me to take a piece of her only to reveal all of this after. I just wanted the experience to be innocent without any of the overbearing negativity of the truth. I wanted it to be special, to mean something. And to me it did… it still does. I thought so for her as well, but that may be ruined now. Being with her had been better than I ever could have imagined, and I don’t regret it at all. I will accept the egomaniacal aspect of my actions. But knowing how she feels about me now, it bothers me, and I can feel the anger brewing inside again. This cursed life I’m forced to live once again has intruded upon any sort of complacency I felt. In that time that I was
My Vampire’s Temptation 21. Xenia Phone Home
Demetrius“What do you mean she has not eaten?” I narrow my eyes to the guard assigned to Xenia’s room. Three days have passed since I brought her here and I’m being told she has refused her food for a third day in a row. Does she mean to starve herself? How far would she go? I would force the food down her throat if I had to. As harsh as it sounded, I couldn’t allow her to hurt herself.“She still will not eat. She is very stubborn.” This much I knew to be true. I waved him off signaling him to leave us. As hard as it’s been, I have decided to give her some space in hopes she would settle down, but it seems my attempts to weigh her down have been wasted. She is indeed a feisty one. As expected, Father accepted Avalon’s request concerning Xenia. Although he was a little surprised to know we had a new human in our presence, he was pleased to learn about her specialty and agreed with me that the dual option of providing therapy or education sessions to Avalon while also being a “blood
My Vampire’s Temptation 22. Adding to my Collection
Unknown VampireEverything on my desk goes flying off to the side and into the wall. I clear it that way, of course, but I want to do so much more. I want to maim and kill. I’m in a rage like no other, because something has been taken from me, and I want it back. My woman. My human. My property. MINE. The thoughts of a spoiled child run through my head, but I’m uncaring. Who dare interfere with my plans? Although, I have somewhat of an idea... I scold myself for not taking her then and there. Admittedly, I had been thrown off by her sudden presence at that time. I’ve had a watchful eye on her for days and planned to take her at the most opportune time, but never had I expected for her to come to me so willingly, a sign that she was meant for me. After my soldier’s failed attempt to take her days prior, I realized if you want something done, you must do it yourself. Useless fools.The moment my eyes fell on her, I knew she was a trophy that would need to be on my shelf, a dazzling add
My Vampire’s Temptation 23. A Strange Therapy Session
XeniaI thought Aiden had me feeling low before, but being here, I have never felt so empty and depressed. I can’t stop replaying everything over and over again in my head. Just last week everything was fine. I was getting back on top of things, focusing on my degree, feeling better. My life wasn’t in complete shambles like it is now. I’m trying to come to terms with my situation, but it’s hard when it has been completely uprooted in such a way. I feel like I’m on the brink of insanity. I’m not sure what I was expecting from him, but I can’t seem to get past his treachery. I had started to develop feelings for this man, and it hurts to find out he is nowhere near the person who I thought he was. He’s not even a person…What was I thinking letting my guard down like that right after a breakup? I’m beating myself up for missing the signs, but I know it’s not really my fault. It’s like he knew everything I wanted in a man, bottled it all up and spread it over him. He was master of decep
My Vampire’s Temptation 24. Unexpected Ally
Demetrius“It’s been a while. Good to have you back, Demetrius. Are you back, back, though?”I turn my head staring off to the side of the room as I sit behind my desk conversing with two of the coven vampires that are actually tolerable, Hendrix and Yuno. I have known them for many years, and they have always proven to be loyal. If ever I was to ascend taking Father’s position, they would be under my command as trusted advisers. But for now, I think of them more as friends when they’re not pushing my limits and pissing me off. They had been away on assignment soon after I left the coven, so when they got back, it had surprised them to know I had returned already. Yeah, me too. I sigh deeply wanting to divert the question as I have many other things on my mind, my recent interaction with Xenia at the forefront of my issues.“I’m not sure. My father has all these plans mapped out for me. Do I not have a say-so in my own life? It’s not up for debate. I will. Honestly, I don’t know what
My Vampire’s Temptation 25. A Good Kind of Trouble
Xenia“Hey, Xenia!” I jerk my head in the direction of my name being called as the blond woman strides over to me. Isabel, one of the other human women that provide ‘services’ greets me with a warm smile. I’ve only been here for a total of four days, I think, and surprisingly it seems like I’ve made a friend. Isabel has been genuinely kind to me from the second day, and has given me the runaround of how everything works. It’s odd to think that women, human women just like me, choose to be here to provide their blood and have sex with the vampires. Apparently, there’s some men here too that do the same, but I’ve yet to see them. They receive a hefty income for doing it. And according to Isabel, sex with vampires was really hot, and far exceeded that of a regular person. I guess I can’t object to that bit of information… The room is pretty similar to a classroom setting. The building is separate from the mansion that I have been staying in, but it’s within walking distance. It’s like a
My Vampire’s Temptation 26. Backed Against the Wall
DemetriusI never understand why people flock to these campuses like sheep to a slaughter. Yes, there are some degrees and educations that are of importance; doctors, attorneys, educators themselves, but wasting time and money on a meaningless degree was beyond what I could comprehend. Humans were such ignorant creatures.My lovely Xenia didn’t fall in that category, of course. She was intelligent, beautiful, and strong, an all-around great woman, and it’s because of that that I find myself in this precarious situation.She had revealed to Avalon how upset she was that being unable to attend school would mean she wouldn’t obtain her degree. Everything she’d worked so hard for was being taken from her. And being as though I had no idea how long I would need to keep her hidden, that would be indefinitely. So, against my better judgement I decided to take it upon myself to do some… persuading.“You must be Mr. Escoffier. Right this way.” I eye the woman who greeted me excitedly, not missi
My Vampire’s Temptation 27. A Fun Night Out
XeniaShaky fingers trail down my chest against my laced see-through shirt as I glance to the side. I tug at the hem of my leather mini skirt while giving myself a once over. Okay. Admittedly, my ass looks good in this skirt, but now I’m thinking maybe staying inside wouldn’t be so bad after all. But Demetrius said he was going to be out and about, and I’m wondering where the hell to. That kind of annoys me. He can come and go as he pleases, but I’m expected to stay in like a child on punishment? No. That doesn’t really work for me. And it’s that thought that pushes me over the edge and makes me stick with the decision. I’m going out, and I’m going to have fun.With vampires… “Damn, girl. You look good!” Isabel’s words make me blush now that I’m under the scrutiny of gazes from others. “This is Hendrix, Yuno, and you know Celine, right? Guys, this is Xenia. She’s new.” She’s said new like I’m a thing and not a person making me tense. I climb inside the back of the bla
