Chapter 83: Family

Charlotte’s pov

Was it a mistake?

Was it all because of the wine I had?

I looked at him, “goodnight” I said before running out.

I could hear him chuckle as I was leaving, what the hell just happened?

I got to the room I am sharing with May, and she was sleeping like a log.

I wish I could do the same, I have been having trouble sleeping lately.

I got into the bed, he is a great cook and I feel so alive while I am with him.

He challenges me, somehow when I am with him I feel really bold.

Like I could handle anything life throws at me? what is wrong with me?

I am Logan’s mate, to break the curse I will need to mate with him.

I cant be falling in love with someone else, its just not right on my part.

I was just caught up in the moment.

I have had a crush on the guy since I was 16 years old.

And he is so romantic, doing all those things and just being so cute around me.

I have heard so many things about Sebastian,

how he is ruthless and cold, but I have never seen that side of him.

He is so vulnerable with me, so kind and open that I cant help but feel special when he is around me.

But I am not Scarlet, but Scarlet said that I am her and so did mother.

And the fact that ever since I met that woman I call her mother even in my own thoughts.

As if it’s the most natural thing in the world, which means that I could be Scarlet.

Maybe it’s time I believed that as well, I mean if I have Scarlet’s memories then I am her right?

The wine helped putting me to sleep or I would have started overthinking the whole night.

The next morning when I woke up I got ready and went downstairs.

“Morning, you sure slept in today. You don’t have any issues sleeping here?” Alexa asked.

“Not really, I slept like a baby” I said, and she smiled.

“You said that as Logan’s place as well, I am glad you feel safe enough to sleep like a baby” Alexa said, and I nodded.

“Sister can you call the Vampire King here?

I think its time we talk about different ways we can try to get your memories back” David said, and I nodded.

“Sir slept in his office I think, that’s where he sleeps most of the time” Mark said, and I nodded.

I got up and went to Sebastian’s office, I knocked but he didn’t answer so I opened the door.

I found him sleeping on the couch, I walked towards him to wake him up.

But he seemed to be sleeping so peacefully, how can someone look hot and cute at the same time?

I placed my hand on his face, he leaned into my touch and smiled in his sleep.

I noticed his lips, they look so good, I got closer and then stopped.

What the hell was I about to do? Was I going to kiss him again?

I noticed how his lips formed into a smile and he opened his eyes.

“Did you drink wine so early this morning even today?” he asked me.

Before I could place any distance between us he pulled me on top of him and didn’t let go.

I looked at him, I bet I look like a red tomato at this moment.

“I asked, you were about to kiss me again. Was that going to be a mistake too?” he asked me.

“I wasn’t, I just wanted to wake you up” I said, and he smiled.

He kissed my forehead, “good morning” he said and then pulled me into a hug.

I could feel every part of him, every single part of him.

His hard muscles under his clothing and there was something hard as well.

This made my face turn even redder, “what is wrong? Are you okay? You seemed flustered” he said.

“This is what being close to you does to me, you are the reason so you should feel what you are doing?” he said.

We stayed like that for some time, “I love your scent” he said sniffing me.

I actually enjoyed being in his arms, they are so firm and so safe.

Even the way he was holding me, as if he didn’t want to let go of me.

As if he is scared that I would disappear, “now back to the important matter” he said, and I nodded.

“What is it?” I asked him and he smiled.

“You kissed me yesterday” he said, and I looked down at this.

He placed his hand under my chin, “look at me, I like seeing that cute blush on your face” he said.

“I told you that it was a mistake okay” I said, and he nodded.

“But I am angry at that mistake, I am a firm believing in getting back” he said and then I sighed before looking at him.

“What do you want then?” I asked him and he smirked this time and I regretted asking him this question.

He sat up and wrapped my legs around him, he pulled me even closer as if that was even possible.

“I believe in an eye for an eye, a kiss for a kiss” he said, and I didn’t know what to say.

“You kissed me; don’t you think it’s fair that I kiss you as well?” he asked me.

“But you kissed me back yesterday, I mean I only initiated it, but you took charge and kissed me like some professional kisser” I said which made him chuckle.

“I just kissed you back, I am a man after all, and a hot cute girl was throwing herself at me” he said, and I gasped at this.

“Did you say throwing herself on you?” I asked him.

“Enough” he said and then placed his lips on mine.

He didn’t wait for me to respond; his kiss was demanding and so passionate.

I found myself responding to it.

I found myself liking every second of it and even moving my hands to his hair.

His hands were all over my body, touching me, I felt his hand under my shirt.

I wanted more, I want more from this man, I want him to touch me like this forever.

I want to be in his arms like this forever, this passionate love that threatens to consume me.

I want all of him, and I could feel that he wanted me too.

He wanted all of me when I started grinding on him I heard him groan.

“You will be the death of me do you know that?” he whispered in between the kisses.

When he pulled away I couldn’t breathe, my lungs were desperately asking for oxygen.

He was also struggling as well, he made sure to make the kiss as long as he could.

“That was more than one kiss” I said, and he smiled.

“No that counts as one kiss” he said, as I was trying to get off him he stopped me.

“Please stay like that for some time” he said and then closed his eyes and rested his head on the couch.

“Tell me about yourself” I said, for some reason I am suddenly curious about him.

All these years while he was looking for me who stayed by his side?

Where is his family because I have never heard anyone mention them.

“What do you want to know?” he asked me, and I thought about how to phrase these questions.

I know more than anyone that when it comes to asking about family one needs to be careful.

Family can be a very sensitive issue to talk about for some people.

“What about your family, do you still have any family?” I asked him and he nodded.

“Yes, I have a mother, father, little sister and brother” he said, and I was actually shocked.

“Really you do? Where are they now?” I asked him and he pointed down.

“They are in a special dungeon that I had made for them, actually only my father and mother” he said, and I looked at him confused.

“You see my parents were happy with my change, after I met you I changed.

The same way you changed after you met me, your mother wasn’t happy so neither were my parents” he said and then paused.

“After that our thinking was different,

they didn’t like the way I did so, and I also didn’t like the way they did things.

They started wars for fun and power, I wanted to keep our dream alive” he said, and I smiled.

“Our dream” I repeated those words, and he kissed my forehead and nodded.

“They got out of control a few centuries after you were cursed,

and they even tried getting rid of every witch in the world.

That way you wouldn’t be reincarnated, and I could go back to being their puppet” he added.

“What made you want to take a huge step?” I asked him.

“Everything, I started gaining power in secret, but I knew that being Vampire King wouldn’t be enough to stop them.

So, I had them locked up in a dungeon, my younger brother who has the same morals as they escaped, his name is Lucas Thorne” he said.

“I bet your brother hates you wherever he is” I said, and he nodded.

“Hate doesn’t even begin to describe how he feels, he has been hunting you down for centuries as well. I think he has managed to kill you a couple of times” he replied.

“He sounds like a real dick” I said which made him chuckle.

“A dangerous dick” he said, there was a knock on the door and Mark came in. “

Ohhh sorry” he bowed his head.

“its okay Mark, what is wrong?” Sebastian asked him.

“Its Mr Lucas sir, he has been spotted and you wont like who he met up with” he said.

“Who did he meet up with?” I asked Mark.
