Erna opened her eyes, blinked as soon as she felt the sunlight sneaking in through the slits of the curtains in the room that made her had to squint her eyes to block the dazzling sunlight from hitting her eyes. She awoke, confused to find that she was no longer in her bedroom. Nor was she in her boyfriend's bedroom ...
Made her remember one thing that managed to provoke her tears back. She sobbed, remembering the time Alec had died in front of her while trying to save her. Her hands could not feel the warmth he always gave her when she realized the body of the man she loved turned cold. The face her boyfriend made was in agony from the pain from the many wounds the man had received from their assailant turned calm, expressionless, like falling into a long sleep, but neither breath nor heartbeat could she feel from the man. The dead man who was trying to save her from …
From what? She only remembered that they were attacked by unknown people, but she did not kno
Stephen did not know what the urge had driven him to kiss Nikki's tiny lips. He did not know. It was as if his body was moving on its own as soon as he saw the woman's expression that looked very cute in his eyes. The woman also did not refuse his kiss, giving him a signal to continue the kiss until he broke the fortress he had made every time he met Nikki. The impulse from his heart led him to carry the tiny body in both hands and continue their session in his room. He swallowed many times in the morning when he looked at Nikki's back facing him without wearing any clothes under the blanket covering her body. He could even clearly see the kiss marks he had left on her body, creating a feeling of happiness and relief knowing that Nikki did not mind what they were doing at all. The time they spent last night, he had to admit, had a different sensation than all the women he had been with fo
Theodore tucked the last black coat into a large dark green suitcase, collecting it along with the suit he had also bought when he was shopping with Erick a few days ago before their date plans were delayed due to an unexpected visitor; Nicholas Southampton. Heaving a sigh of relief, he closed his briefcase while wiping the sweat off his forehead and temples with the back of his right hand. He now felt satisfied with admiring his own success. The feelings he was currently feeling were mixed. Anxious, but at the same time, he felt excited as well, remembering that it would be his first trip to Spain, his boyfriend's country of birth that he has been dreaming of visiting for a long time with the man he had loved for so many years. From the time he was born until now, he had never dared to set foot out of the Waterford city area as his father always forbade him to do so, saying that he was n
If he were, to be honest, this time really was not the right time to do what humans generally call it as a 'recreation' in the midst of an increasingly precarious situation. Spain was indeed a beautiful country, with Madrid city, Barcelona city, as well as Catalonia city which have been the cities of his dreams since he found out about Erick's home country. After his father was brought by Pedrosa's elders to be tried for all his crimes together and almost sacrificed all the vampire groups who joined Pedrosa's group to William Schneider (according to Erick's narrative, who asked him not to ask again about Phillip forever), everyone who used to underestimate him immediately turned to respect him. Changing their attitude one hundred and eighty degrees, hailing him as a hero to a degree that made him feel a little uneasy. He was used to receiving insults and insults, experienced in accepting negative experiences and attitudes from everyone, b
It was indeed, a pretty weird atmosphere. Karl sat in the chair opposite Stephen with his long legs crossed, his hands resting on his right knee, waiting for Stephen to explain to him his sudden change of attitude towards him. In front of him, who had lived for hundreds of years and seen the many dispositions of everyone based on his experience, the man was clearly hiding something from him. Even the message he had sent to Stephen was only read by the man. The familiar thing he did, reminded him of the way he had tried to avoid him when he first reunited with Nikki after twelve years. The problem was, he did not understand what the man was hiding from him, so he let the awkward atmosphere continue. And now, he was waiting for him to explain to himself the reason behind his annoying attitude to him. “Hello, Boss! Sorry, I'm la
“I-ignore? W-who?" the man dodged, avoiding eye contact with him. He got up from his chair re-emitting his dragon aura, gathering it into a strand of plant roots that moved along his palm that did not intercept the man's hand like a heartbeat, then brought it closer to the man until it hit the man's temple a little. “Once again you dodged my question and you will leave me with no options but to read your mind and force you to look at your own memories. How about that? Do you want to answer my question now or let me read your memories?” The man stared alternately between him and his hand. The reaction of the man's frozen body was enough to give him information that the man was considering his words. After a few minutes later, the man took a deep breath, giving up. "Look
Veronica’s feelings were clearly not in a good state right now. She woke with her eyes half-closed, hoping that she would find Stephen lying beside her. Either with a calm face and still sleeping with his peaceful face, or waking up with a gentle smile painted on the man's face, greeted her warmly like the warm morning sun, which slipped in through the gap in the curtained window of Stephen's room where they spent the night together. Pain hit her body quickly, but it was even more painful when she woke up to find that she had not found Stephen beside her as she had hoped. Empty. Not even a trace of the man's whereabouts was there, apart from the traces the man had left on her body. She struggled to get off the bed, dragging her body to grab her clothes that lay on the floor and put them on, ignoring the pain that hit her whole body, especially the lower part. Then she grabbed her crutches
"It's not ‘I bet you must be pretty hungry'. But I'm really, really hungry. Did I not talk to you clearly earlier?" she said, puffing her cheeks. The two men fell silent at his words, looking at each other with a look she did not understand. All of a sudden, they were facing each other together with sly faces. "Rock, scissors, paper! Three times!" The two of them said it at the same time, successfully making her flinch. They did it three times, and Stephen came out victorious while her boyfriend crouched down and ruffled his hair in frustration. Before she could understand what they were doing to make such a bet, Stephen had approached her, asking her to rest her hands on his shoulders. And in an instant, she was in the man's arms, on crutches that Stephen carried without any hassle. "I'll go first with her. I'll wait in the
In the afternoon, she was surprised by an incoming call from Erna. Stephen had gone out with Karl on some unknown business after breakfast as they had left her in a hurry. Since Karl had made it clear that he was not going to let her be clueless, she did not have to worry about what they were doing since her boyfriend would definitely tell her later. She believed in Karl and could hold her word as he always kept everything he said. So there should not be any problems. But Stephen? She had no idea. The man was a different story. She was not even sure after overhearing the man's blatant confession to Karl when he got cornered by Karl's question, and when he had told her himself in front of her that he would seriously pursue her. The point, as Dania said a few months ago, as people with bad boy personalities like Stephen were mostly the type who every word out from their mouth could not be t
