In the morning, I woke up, stretching and yawning. I realized I was in the arms of Alexander, which caused me to blush a bit and snuggle back. The vampire gave a little 'hm?' noise and slowly began to wake up himself.At the moment, I wasn't sure when he came to it entirely, since my back was facing him. However, when I felt him remove his arm and sit up, I knew he was fully awake. I did the same, sitting up, stretching, and looking at him with a smile. "Thanks for staying with me," I said."Of course. You were comfortable. No reason for me to leave," he said with a slight smile.I let out a comfortable sigh, glancing toward the window and seeing a glow from the blocked curtains. Checking my phone, I realized it was midday. I wondered how long I slept, though I supposed it wasn't too important. As long as I felt rested and got some energy back, I would be alright. Speaking of which, my stomach grumbled loudly, causing me to blush."I'll get ahold of Nick now," he said, grabb
A few days later, Nicholas, Alexander, and I were sitting in my room. By now I'd set up a small table and had a few cushioned chairs to go along with it, so we were settled in and deep in a discussion on how the new plan was going.Nicholas wore a contemplative, regretful frown, no doubt a bit down since he had to play the trickery card on someone he really was hoping may be innocent in this. I wasn't sure about Misty, but she worked with Remus, who I had a really bad feeling about. My instincts constantly screamed he was a true danger. Nicholas cleared his throat, ready to talk about what he'd learned. "So, yes, Misty was excited about my interest in the damn cult," he growled, resigned.His shoulders slumped, and Alexander shot him a sympathetic, but knowing glance. He was probably resisting the chance to pull an 'I told you so.' The powerful vampire motioned for the coven master to continue.Nicholas said, "I couldn't help but ask her about the morality of the situation. I
Honestly, this entire thing was a mistake. I stood there, staring at my sister as gobs of saliva dripped from her maw. Her bat-like ears were drawn back, and her lips were peeled enough so that I could see her dagger-like fangs. After a long pause, she let out a screech of aggression, slamming against the chain-like fence again and again.I gasped, taking a step back but holding my resolve for now. At this point, I was livid, reminded of my mission and how Nicholas caused this. I wanted to be pissed at him for what he did to Lucy, but I knew the intent wasn't malicious or intentional. Still…A hand fell on my shoulder, one of which I tried to shrug away. A growl in my ear, something familiar that sent shivers cascading down my spine, caused me to freeze.Alexander said, "Your entire demeanor is off. Are you able to get a hold of yourself or should we leave the room?"I snorted, staring my sister down before examining the room once more. The place was just as we left it. S
We'd made progress over the past couple of weeks, but it wasn't enough.I sat there at my desk, the soon-to-be-setting sun blocked by thick black curtains as usual. My eyelids were heavy, though I kept rubbing them to stay awake. Stress radiated off me in waves.My shoulders slumped as I hunched over my laptop, typing away. The flurry of letters in front of me, notes from my research, may not be helpful in any capacity. I let out a soft groan, reaching up to hold my head.By now, we should be farther. In fact, I'd hoped we'd find the cure at this point because the cultists were definitely going to make their move on me soon. I'd been able to paint myself as completely oblivious on the outside, wearing the persona of a human here in the mansion just wanting to have fun. Too much longer, and that would backfire on me. A knock came on the door, causing me to sigh. "Come in," I said, hoping it wasn't Misty. Thankfully, my visitor happened to be Alexander. As I turned my body to lo
The next few days were filled with sex, given we wanted to stick together and not be suspicious. Not to mention, we knew the cultists would be making their move soon, something that caused intense worry within me. Given the entire ordeal was quite dazzling, I didn't mind.One thing I did note, though, was the looks Remus and Misty gave me. I had a feeling they were preparing to pounce, but when, I had no idea. At the moment, morning had arrived, and I was munching on some cereal in the dining room. A book was open in front of me, nothing to do with research since I didn't want anyone looking over my shoulder and finding out what I was doing. That's when a hand fell on my shoulder, and a whisper sounded in my ear. Misty said, "Hey there, doll. You're looking gorgeous today, and smell very delicious. How about you join me and Remus for a little bit of fun?"I froze, gulping and wetting my lips. Before I could protest, she wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on my sho
The next day, I woke up in the afternoon. Last night had been for research, and thankfully after the less-than-savory experience with Remus, I was able to relax a little. Alexander and Nicholas fawned over me a little, concerned after I explained not feeling comfortable around him. I was treated to plenty of kisses, though not sex, as I honestly needed a break at that point. My body and mind were tired from handling that tense interaction. At the moment, I was chewing on a sandwich, browsing the web for anything that could be useful. We were so damn close, I could feel it. I hadn't tried to talk to Lucy since that incident that caused a breakdown.Though I suggested doing so again, Nick had firmly emphasized I should avoid doing so. It would only make me upset and distract from actually helping. If I wallowed in misery, he said, I wasn't going to be able to focus as easily on the subject at hand. Still, time was running out, and fast. I suspected the uptick in interest Remus wa
Nothing incredibly exciting happened at the lab, so after checking in with Nicholas, we returned to my room to discuss progress. I was still a little bit on edge after the ordeal with Remus, so Alexander undoubtedly sensed I needed some rest from the stress. The vampire lay in bed with me at the moment, not making any sexual moves. Right now was the time for relaxation and discussion, not lust. In fact, Alexander muttered, "Let me give you a massage. No, it won't lead to me fucking you, by the way. Unless you beg me."That notion sent my heart fluttering and shivers down my spine. I was sure Alexander would get me to beg him for more pleasure at some point. The memory of Nicholas doing so was delicious, after all. Granted, that wasn't happening right now. I laughed and blushed, turning toward him and giving him a smile. "I'll beg you. Just not this time," I said shyly.He winked at me and made a 'turn around' motion, which I obliged. I sat up, removed my shirt, and laid down
I tossed and turned during the nap I tried getting in. Remus left shortly after hovering just a bit longer to annoy the hell out of Alex. The protective vampire remained there after Remus walked away. Alexander held me close during my unproductive attempt to sleep. When I squirmed and moved a bit, he pulled me closer. It limited my restlessness, but not entirely. I got maybe an hour of sleep in before opening my eyes and letting out a groan. "Can't sleep?" Alexander muttered. Then, he paused and chuckled. "Nevermind, that was a rather stupid question." This gave me a laugh, allowing me to relax a little bit.The vampire asked, "Would you like another massage? Could calm your nerves." I pondered this, rotating so that I was facing him, and slowly nodded. "Sure. If you want to initiate anything, you don't need to hold back this time," I said in a light tone. My voice wasn't exactly sultry right now, because stress still dripped in my words.Still, if he wanted to have some fun,
