Nico's POV:Khloe slowly set her hand in mine, apparently unsure of what to initially think about what we were going to do.She looked unsurprisingly nervous and red-faced, probably worried already that she was going to mess up.Well of course she was, No one could expect her to be automatically good at something that they've never done before, not to mention how difficult those heals are going to be.I gestured her to step forward, having her close the distance between us a bit.Her eyes followed my hand as I guided her own to my shoulder, before placing my own on her waist.The later action made her stiffen and made her nervousness even more evident.I tr

Khloe's POV:Nico and I walked side by side down the long hallway leading to the ballroom that I didn't even know existed.No leash, no collar. We just walked together with some more vampires that were making their way to the ball.Nico's black suit was differing from all the other varying shades of navy and grey that all of the other vampires were wearing.And well, as far as I had seen so far, I was very overdressed as a pet.I inched closer to Nico as we walked, trying to ignore the other glances from both Vampires and pets.I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about tonight. I already knew that I couldn't jus

Khloe's POV:I tended to stay near the table of food whenever I wasn't dancing with someone.And luckily the boy from earlier, Marcus tended to stay around me as well and had offered me all of the dances we had so far.Which honestly I was grateful for, he was easy to talk to as we got to know each other more and saved me the stress of choosing a partner for each dance.I would try to initiate small talk with some of the other slaves and pets whenever Marcus would, but since socializing wasn't exactly my strong point, I just went with the next best thing.Food.And well, why wouldn't I when all of it was so deliciou

Nico's POV:I let my fingers trail aimlessly against her back as I recalled what had happened that day."The funny thing is, I didn't go into that Pet Store expecting to leave with a pet," I admitted.Khloe's head tilted up a bit more to meet my eyes, one of her brows raised."Really?" She asked.I nodded."Really. I had no interest in looking for another pet until after the blood moon, and the truth is, I had gone into the store to look for another pet for Xander since I thought that he would be needing another one pretty soon."I paused for a moment, trying to recall the exact moment when I had changed my mind. I remember it being a fairly quick decision.

Khloe's POV:I tugged the brush through my hair as carefully as possible, working out the many tangles that had formed throughout the day.I usually brush through my hair after I get out of the shower, but Nico was adamant on coming into the bathroom as soon as I turned the shower off this morning, barely giving me time to put some clothes on.From then on I guess I just got distracted and forgot.I sighed as the brush caught on yet another large tangle.Turning my head towards where Nico was, I began to gently brush it out.He's been a bit off ever since this morning. Ever since his nightmare.He still hadn't offered to talk about it, and I'm pretty sure t
