If it wasn't her blood, he had no desire for it. Emily had come to the understanding that even the undead, had desires and cravings. For her, it was the way he had come to crave the richness of her blood and the cold but satisfactory feeling it brought her.
View MoreRoman was distraught.And confused.He didn't know why he had the urge to protect or explain anything to Emily. But he found himself doing it.Pointing at Mary, he turned furiously and said, "I think you should keep your distance.""Wow!!" She replied, surprised etched in her voice, "Never thought I'd see the day when Roman chased me out of his house because of a woman."Trust Mary to exaggerate things. He scoffed, he wasn't bothered by how she took or interpreted the statement he just made. He didn't care either."Must be your lucky day then." Roman replied, "And just so you know, I like my sanity and peace. And you're the polar opposite of what those two things represent.""I really wish I could cheer for you, but I can't." She replied bitterly and snickered, "But it's just so funny. Does she know who you are? No, what you are?""This has nothing to do with Emily." Roma growled."Does she know you're a dead man with a heart that doesn't bleed?"Stop!" Roman warned."Does she know wh
Mary was one of the persistent people Roman had a fling with and who kept coming back, despite the fact that she knew what Romans reply would be and the last time he'd seen her was five months ago.Throwing her legs apart, she climbed him and brought her hands around his neck, whispering, "Didn't you miss me too?""I did not." Roman replied blatantly."Still as straightforward as ever." She said, unhooking her bra."This is not gonna work." Roman told her."Just play with me." She retorted, bringing his hands to her boobs. "In those few months I was away, all I could ever think of was you."Roman snorted. Hearing those words from her made him want to burst out laughing. Roman couldn't believe that he'd once had a thing for her.She wasn't the type to think about someone that wasn't herself.He couldn't deny that she had a fine, firm and round breast and that the way her nipples poked through the fabric of his shirt almost made him feel aroused.Pulling away his hands, Roman said, "Yo
"How did it go?" Lark asked the moment Roman stepped into the study.Shrugging, Roman replied, "I didn't get a chance to explain it to her.""Oh!" Lark looked taken aback, "You chickened out?""Hahaha." Roman replied in mock sarcasm, "Very funny Lark. Don't say whatever it is you're planning on saying."Lark grinned. "I wanted to say she has you riled up, it's the first time I'd ever see you so .. so.." Staring daggers at him, Roman dared him with the look in his eyes to complete his statement."Okay, I won't say it." Lark shrugged, lifting both hands in the air in absolute surrender."I thought you didn't value your head." Roman mocked, grinning."Let's be honest, Roman." Lark replied with a serious expression on his face, "She has to know that you're going to be draining out her entire blood and infusing yours. She has to know that there are consequences and what they could be.""You can go tell her yourself." Roman nudged him on, "She might listen to you.""No please." Lark declin
" Sit." Roman said to Emily, nodding in the direction of an empty chair. "It's going to be a lengthy discussion."Gazing around, Emily yawned. It was a spacious room with sparse decorations. A few wall arts, flowers and dim lighting, just like the rest of the rooms.A chandelier hung from the ceiling circled around by artificial flowers. There were two cushions sitting opposite each other and a polished mahogany wood book holder.Everything about it screamed private and smelled manly.Hands folded underneath her breast, Emily took calculated steps towards the direction Roman was seated, an art catching her attention.It was the picture of a naked woman, lying softly on a rug with one leg crossed atop the other. In between her toes, she held a glass, filled with red wine.Emily sighed again. She had an uneasy feeling when she came across photos of nude women, they tended to remind her that she was a lady herself. Today, the feeling was different.It was Embarrassment and a racing heart.
The atmosphere between them was awkward. Emily could feel it. And she was sure those around her could too.It was unnerving, the way his friend, what was his name again? Emily thought, had his eyes on her that she could barely eat in comfort.Lauren did justice to the word when she had said he had saved her a tray of food.It was indeed a tray filled with food that contained calories which she feared that she might never be able to burn out within a month's time.When she had looked from him to the tray of food and back, he'd simply shrugged and truth be told, that was the only time she had maintained eye contact with him for longer than two seconds."Okay, what's this awkwardness I sense between the both of you?" The friend asked.Emily scoffed, delving energetically into her meal."Normally, you'd be shading each other or chewing Roman off with the words of your mouth, did my dear friend find a way to humble you?" He asked.Exasperated, Emily sighed, ready to lash out at him, "Luke-
"Wake up!" Lauren sauntered into the room and threw open the blinds, "Oh migos!" She gasped, catching sight of the blood stained bedding. "What happened Emily? There's blood on the sheets!""I, uh-" Emily's eyes fluttered open immediately, "I-"Your dress, there's blood stains all over. I'll call the doctor." Lauren said frantically."It's okay." Emily bit down on her lips, debating on telling Lauren the truth or not. True, the white sheets were stained with blood and also was a part of the gown she wore. Drifting her mind back to the way Roman had torn it off her body, she blushed. "I fell and slipped last night due to the darkness of the room. But I'm fine now."Lauren looked like she didn't buy the lie but nodded to it anyway. "You're an early riser, so when I didn't see you down by this time, I wondered what happened and if Ruthven had managed to kidnap you through this tight security and from under our noses."Emily laughed at the very idea of Laurens thought. "I can't begin to
At first, the kiss was light and feathery and calculating. It felt like Roman was testing the waters and at the same time, giving her ample amount of time to change her mind.He'd had every intention of turning down her request but when she kissed him, everything failed to make sense. Blood rushed to his head and he couldn't fathom what was going on anymore.He knew it was wrong to get intimate with her, but with every kiss they shared, he found that he couldn't resist her. Instead, he craved for more and more."Emily!" Roman growled, "Are you sure about this?"Not answering, Emily shoved his head closer to hers and deepened the kiss. She didn't know what she was doing but it felt right and she wanted to savour the moment.Tearing his lips away, Roman shoved Emily into the bed and got atop of her. Holding steady her gaze, he tore open her gown, using his hands to trace the cleavage that divided her breast. Going down, down, down and down till his he had his mouth in close proximity wi
Fingering the lapis lazuli around Emily's neck, Roman brushed strands of hair from off her face. Her face had gone from pale to adding a little bit of color and warmth.Stirring in her sleep, Emily grunted and sat up almost without warning. Not wanting to be caught, Roman pulled his hands off from the jewelry around her neck swiftly and helped her position her back comfortably against the headrest."What happened?" Emily groaned, feeling the pang of headache and massaging the sides of her head with her hands. "Where's Lauren?" She asked again, faintly, her eyes scanning the entire room."You fainted." Roman stood up and tucked his hands in his pocket. "Lauren is fine. You should worry more about yourself.""Two people are dead because of me." Emily said quietly. "First it was Peter. Now, it's your driver, Brook."Roman sighed. Did she really think Brook was dead."Sssshhhhh." He whispered, "The doctor's order amongst others is that you rest more.""I can't!" Emily retorted, turning
True to Lauren's words, they were being followed.Five black sedans sped heatedly on their trail, each over taking the other. It looked like they were playing a hide and seek game, or the first to catch.Driving with the instinct to survive, Brook kept the car at a steady sixty. Power line poles flashed past, the tires sang, the motor hummed.Onlookers ran to the road pavement for safety, baffled at the scenario. Narrowly escaping and bumping into another vehicle, Brook swirled the car, almost running into a mother with a baby carrier at the zebra crossing.Emily screaming, afraid that they might have killed a mother and her baby. Peeking through one eyes and seeing that they had narrowly avoided running the woman over, She sighed in relief."How long till we get to the penthouse?" Emily asked Lauren."We're almost the- oh fuck!" Lauren left her statement uncompleted, noticing that one of the black sedans was now at par with them. "Brook, watch out!!" Lauren screamed, when she saw th
The bell from the catholic church just by the corner of fourth street rang, signaling the beginning of the catholic mass. This was the only reason most people hated the neighborhood. The annoying sound of the bell. Somehow it got linked to every mishap that took place in the hood. For some, it was a nuisance and for others, it served as an alarm. Arousing them from their deep sleep, or mishap, while some, it brought them to terms with reality.The occupants of the single room, just adjacent to the church, belonged to the last group. Emily Sue with a sad and faraway look in her eyes sat quietly on a double sized bed, her hands supporting her head which was bent, on both sides.Her nose and eyes were red and puffy, you could see that she'd be crying. Litters of used tissue lay scattered on the floor of the tiny room she shared with her roommate.Not because she couldn't afford a better living space, but because she didn't think she would live long enough to enjoy such luxury, so, inst...
