Ivy continued walking. She knew that hadn't been just a figment of her imagination. They were watching her, she had known that for a long time. This had only just confirmed it.Act normal, Ivy. Nothing about this was strange at all. Nothing.By the time she got back to the table, Elsa was wearing Chris's jacket, leaving Chris in his light blue shirt."He is such a gentleman." She said, patting his shoulder lightly."Yeah." Ivy replied, taking her seat."Let's talk about your drawings again." Chris said with a slight smile."Elsa's singing inst--""It was when she was 16." Elsa slammed her wine glass on the table and everyone at the table looked at her, even Jett as he cursed inaudibly under his breath. "Oops, sorry." She giggled, her eyes twinkling with drunken happiness."Water, Elsa?" "No. As I was saying, it started with her first love. She was so cheesy." Elsa laughed, throwing her head back while Ivy's hand tightened around her wine glass, embarrassed. "She confessed her fee
"Wwwhat?" She slurred after a while of silence and Ivy froze, not breathing in nor out.Then Elsa's eyelids slid shut again. Till she started snoring lightly, indicating that she had fallen back asleep. For Ivy, silence reigned through the room except for her pondering heart and Elsa's light snoring.Had Elsa heard what she had said? How long had she been awake? What if she woke up in the morning and remembered? Elsa wasn't one to forget things that she did while she was drunk nor the words spoken to her!Had she just ruined it all for her best friend? What about their relationship? Would it stay the same after this? Intact or forever broken?Ivy immediately picked up her phone, tears streaming down her face, as she imagined how shattered Elsa would be in the morning. Her sight blurry as she went from one site to another, checking through expensive dresses and gifts that she might use as an apology come daybreak. She made her orders, her mind racing, her hands trembling as the thou
"Ciao Princess, I'm officially the girlfriend of a greek god."Ivy's heart exploded with happiness.Finally, her best friend was with the man she was in 'love' with. Then her heart dropped almost instantly.He was the same guy she couldn't get out of her head."I am so happy for you, Elsa. Congratulations, you got your man.""You make it sound like we are already getting married. Maybe we will. Anyways, I need to go now, Princess."She hung up, the line going dead, then a ding.A notification.Elsa posted a picture of her hand and someone's, definitely Christopher's, interlocked. She even updated her status to 'In a Relationship.'Tears welled up in her eyes looking at the pictures. She put the phone away, mumbling to herself over and over again."Elsa is happy which means you are happy."***If Ivy had thought that the events of last week was torture, than she certainly hadn't been ready for this one. Pictures!Pictures of interlock hands, legs, hands, shadows and tbe difference p
That and the two nights that followed, she had no crazy dreams of him nor nightmares of her marriage.She went to work as usual the next day, feeling refreshed and happy with herself.She scrolled through her phone to see if there are any movies she could see as a way to reward herself, maybe even go to a beach, a vacation or something.She was in the mood to meet new people.Then her phone rang.Elsa again."Hello, Spoilt Brat.""That is my line, you Dirty Thief." Elsa snapped back over that phone, Ivy let out a dramatic exasperated sigh."I thought I was a Princess.""Forget that. It's been two days since our last conversation. How are you even breathing without hearing from me?""Honestly," Ivy took in a deep breath, nodding lightly. "I think the air has been a little crazy.""Good because I don't understand how you can live without me for two whole days. You love me, remember?""I know, I know. You know what, I'm also wondering the same thing about you.""Oh, me? I've just--""Bee
Before she could protest again, she heard the shelve crashing to the floor and saw it falling above him, so that they were trapped between the shelf and the bed. "Oh my-- oh my--- your back!""Are you alright?" He asked, his face a little strained, all his focus on her.She nodded vigorously."We should be worried about you.""Me?" He asked, like as if that was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard."The shelf is on your back!""Oh. Yes. It is quite painful."Quite? How could he even forget he was carrying that king of heavy piece of wood, except if... Oh, goodness, he was dying, that is why he couldn't feel his back.If he eventually ends up dying then Elsa would kill her for it.The first guy she had ever liked and she had gone and done a mistake and killed him. Oh goodness, let Chris survive this. If there was any God up there. Please!"Don't forget to breathe," she said, her eyes on Chris. She needed to do her best to at least savage the situation. "In and out, in and out
It had been a little bit of a rushing mess after the shelf had been lifted off Chris back's. There was an ambulance, people running around to help and boom, the hospital."All clear." The doctor said to her, tucking one hand into her lab coat. "You can go home this evening.""It a whole fucking shelf, Doctor. I mean, you should have seen the shelf. Fucking huge!" Elsa turned to the doctor, her hand grazing Ivy's own affectionately. "Is it alright if we stay for longer, just to ensure that everything is really fine."The Doctor looked back at Elsa, a weary expression on her face, as if she was tired of life and everything in it."I feel fine," Ivy chirped in, noticing the tension."You are the injured one here, Princess, you don't get to judge." Then she looked back at the doctor. "So, can we? This is an expensive private hospital after all. Whatever the bill is, we'll pay it." Then her voice dropped to a low sympathy seeking tone. "I'm just so worried for my friend."The doctor let ou
She looked down at his lips instinctively, to see that they had been drawn up in a smirk.Memories flooded her brain at how they had felt against hers on two different occasions.Calm and assuring.Demanding and devouring.She pressed her lips together, her hand slipping off the edge of the pool as she pushed back slightly from him, swimming an inch away."Thank you for that too. It must have been really inappropriate and uncomfortable for you. I'm sure you did it only because you had no other choice.""Uncomfortable? Maybe. The shelf was really comfortable. I can think of other confort--""I'm talking about Elsa. I don't think she has to know."He furrowed his brows, "of course, she doesn't.""Thank you."Then she swam forward, further away from him, pulling herself out of the water."Goodnight."***The avoiding continued but it was getting harder and harder as time went on. Chris was getting better, so they all went to the Beach now and then. Although Jett was always on his phone
Pleasure.It was all she could feel, all her dazed mind could think about.Her silky red nightgown was all the way up her thighs, with him standing in-between her legs that were hooked by the ankles, around him. One hand was under her nightgown, caressing her arched bare back, while her fingers were driving through his already lose messy bun.She felt her nightgown slip down her shoulders a little, then his lips trailing kisses against the soft upper molds of her breasts.She threw her head back in pleasure, her purple hair dangling down her back, her grip against the counter's edge tightening, soft moans slipping through her lips.It wasn't until she felt his hand going up her inner thigh did she come to her senses.What was she doing?!Her eye lids flew open like a bolt of lighting, her hands dropped from his hair and rested on his chest instead as she pushed him away from her as much as her strength could.Seeing this, he took a step back while asking if he had done something wrong
Ivy woke up feeling just as ecstatic had she felt when she fell asleep. Everything was perfect except for two things.It was morning now, around 8am. Also, Chris was not by her side when she woke up. She hadn't even known when he left. "I had some matters of the House to attend to," his voice seeped out through the phone speaker that was pressed to her ears, as she prepared warm tea. "I stayed throughout the night though. Only left like an hour ago. Are you sure you are feeling okay, my love?""Ecstatic. 'Matters of the House, okay, okay.' You sound so ancient." She chuckled and could almost hear him do the same.The spoon she stirred in her tea clicked against the inside of the mug, and she took a sip."So when are we doing that again?""What?""Yeah, oh you have no idea how much I wish you were feeding from me right now. It just makes me feel so good."She took another sip, the warmness of the tea going through her on this cold morning, but she knew that wasn't the only reason she
She's was dozing off way too fast. Her eye lids that had long fluttered close, going still and stiff."Fuck. Fuck!" He cursed, holding her almost limp cold body in his arms as he attempted to lay her on the bed.He knew he should have stopped, he knew he should have stopped himself a long time ago. He had taken too much. The smile on her face was a plain show of the euphoria he had given her while feeding from her. There was no possible way she would have know that she was dying. She wouldn't even be able to sense it.He was quick to have her back against the soft bed and a part of his palm that he dugged his claws in pressed to her mouth, so that his blood trickled through her parted lips, into her mouth, and down her throat.She gulped almost too weakly, but that was adequate. His blood would find its way into her system and that should be enough.Hopefully.Then he pulled back, his claw pulling out of his palm, his skin sealing up, his blood drying up.His whole body tensed, his
An insatiable hunger. A need that heated her up to her very core.The emptiness in her almost made her weep. Her inside walls clenching around thin air was starting to ache badly, needing something more. Something thick, big and long, to go deep and fill her up. This hunger was strange, this hunger was good, this hunger was immerse, overpowering and welcomed.Back arched, and toes curling, she mumbled incoherent words to herself.This lustful need for him was taking over her and she was surrending fast, not fighting it at all, surrending completely.He was like a drug that she was totally addicted to.Hating his stillness, she moved up and down his hand, feeling it go slick and smooth against her heat, making her brain feel tiny shocks that felt electric.Fuck, she needed him!She suddenly felt like she was in a daze, then she felt her back being pressed against the bed with him over her, her lips sealed against him in a hungry kiss, her hands around his neck as her tongue explored
"I am not married, Ivy. Just like you." He murmured against her skin, making her tremble slightly.Just like her? What was that supposed to mean?His kisses on her neck was starting to be a little painful as she felt his fangs graze lightly against her skin, she gasped, before she felt his cold tongue flicked over it, relieving her pain immediately, replacing it with pleasure.Her body tensed at the memory of this warm wonderful feeling, her yearning mounted with each passing moment.He pulled her robe further down her shoulder, leaving the soft upper part of her breast slightly expose. He knelt in front of her, in-between her open legs, placing his harsh kiss like an arch over her exposed breast, leaving hickeys behind. She snaked her hand into his hair, holding tightly unto it, pulling with each turtorous kiss, while she looked down at him through eyelids that slid close anytime his lips made contact with her skin. She could feel herself go wet with anticipation, feeling pleasure
It all began that night. It was raining, really heavily. There was the thunder and lightening, the noise, the peace.Feeling unusually sleepy, Ivy had gone up early, had her bath and changed into her thick nightgown to help her stay warm. She had also ensured that the windows and doors were locked, the curtains pulled down.The room still felt a little cold but she like it. She hadn't settled into her bed though, instead she had eased into her dressing chair, texting back polite replies to her piling inbox.Then she heard it. A noise by her window.It was so silent, she could have missed it.At first she had just thought it was the wind but her mind went to what had happened to Elsa and she grew tensed.What if someone was out there, climbing up her window. What if the person was one of Chris's enemies and they had finally been able to get to her? What if they were here to kill her.Her throat choked with fear, it was getting rather difficult to breath now. With her hands hoverin
Flowers again. It's been three days after that whole incident. Things had been relatively back to normal, Koel had left the morning after, and this was the third time in a row that Chris was sending flowers to apologize. He said he would keep doing that till he was able to get off the House duties, then come to her and make all the lost moments up to her in a grand style.Today's bouquet of flowers was abundant.Red roses."Are you sure you don't want to come with us to Ubia?" Her Mother asked, rushing around the room. Her parents were going on a trip once again, only that this time it wasn't majorly for business. They planned to have fun along the way. Ivy was happy about that."Take this to the car," her Mother said to one of the helpers."I'm sure. I have things to do here."Ivy set the flowers aside and flopped on the sofa."Like what? Not go to work? Invite more men over who make great tea and call them 'just friends'? Get this unending roses delivered to your doorstep?"Well,
"There are no unwanted presence in the house, I did a quick check before coming down to the kitchen."Koel's voice snapped her out of her train of thoughts. He was seating by her dressing table, his arms folded across his chest. The light was still on, so she could see him perfectly."Nice. That is very normal. When did you get the gifts?""On our way here. The Sire had told me to."Ivy found herself smiling at that. Chris was always so thoughtful.She couldn't wait to get this contract holding her hostage to expire so that she could marry him. Then she remembered the complications of his world and she sighed."More tea?"She looked towards Koel who was already ready to pour her a cup of tea, and she sighed tiredly."You are going to drown me in tea."He stopped, then set back the jug on the table."If you don't want more tea, then is there something I can help you with? I have studied humans a lot. I can come in assistance."She sat up at the opportunity."Who is Chris's brother an
Whatever Ivy had seen when she got in definitely wasn't what she had expected.The light was on in the sitting room and everything seemed peaceful. Then a loud rattling from the kitchen. Ivy tensed up as she tiptoed closer to the kitchen, her heart thundering in her chest.'Let my parents be alright, let my parents be alright.' She mumbled continually to herself till she came to the open door."Careful, Maxwell. It's still hot." She heard her mother snap with urgency but she sounded nothing like she was in some sought of grave danger. "Ayyy, Romito. I was wondering when you'll get home." Her mother said, looking straight at her.She looked as firm as always, just that this time she had a pan in her hands, an apron on, and she seemed almost bubbly.Even now, she still looked like Ivy's elder sister by a couple of years and not her mum. She would have to find out the secret of eternal youth from her, it might come in handy some day."There you are," her Father said, turning away from
"I told her nothing, Sire." Ivy had never heard Elsa's voice tremble with so much fear in her life, except for the time when they had found her bleeding to death. Immediately, Elsa seemed to have come back to herself. She was no longer grunting in pain, she seemed normal now. "We have to go," Chris said to Ivy. When he turned to her, he no longer looked wild. He pressed a kiss against her lips, sending tingles down her veins, goosebumps lacing her skin. He pulled away, resting his forehead against her's, before he finally let her go. He turned to the Butler that was now by her side once again. He wasn't there before, he must have used his vampire speed. "Keep her save for me. Koel." "Yes, Sire." Without another word, he started walking towards Jett, towards the helicopter. This didn't feel good at all. It felt like some last goodbye scene right out of a movie and she didn't like it one bit. "See you soon, Princess." Elsa managed to give Ivy her signature carefree smile, b
