Then he took a step.And my body was non-plussed to move. He rejected you, my mind screamed. He threw you off like the little whore he always claimed you to be."If you come near me, I will kill you", I shrieked.Jacob paused in his advance, just one more foot away from the bed as a new scent filled the room. I took in the scent, filling my lungs with what smelt like a beautiful combo of Jacob's dark chocolate exuberance and something more delicious, something I couldn't place. What was that?Jacob growled, low and deep, and my eyes snapped up to his. With his eyes closed, he looked like he was fighting an internal conflict.What was that all about?His eyes suddenly flew open and I gasped at the sight. It was pure black now and his hands were twitching at his sides, uncontrollably."Jacob", I called wearily, subtly shifting to the other end of the bed. If it came to the case of me running, I needed to have easy access to delude myself that I could run from a vampire."You don't k
The scent, the strong scent.Was that what it had been?"What do you mean?", I insisted, my eyes narrowing on Claude.Sydney sighed and my gaze snapped to hers.What were they going at?"I meant I made a mistake", Claude said briskly, his face morphing into a frown. "A silly one, albeit".Sydney mumbled something under her breath and stared blankly into space.Something had passed between themThey were evidently hiding something and I was going to find out by hook or by shit.I sat back, still watching the two of them.The car rolled to a stop and Sydney popped out of the door, her hair swinging with her hips as we walked out of the underground lot."We have three hours max before Jacob is done with his meeting with the council members", Claude checked his watch, as we followed him into the elevator.I cracked my fingers against my hands.I could do this.Three hours to debug a virus ridden flash. I could do that, I squirmed on the inside.I could most definitely not do that.It was
"Dalia", Sydney called, walking in front of me as her voice registered in the back of my mind.Her scent cut in with the scent wafting in from the door, confusing my nose.What was her problem?I needed what the guy had.I felt myself rise from the desk chair, the strong scent calling to me. I hissed at Sydney, my mind and body locked in on the lull by the door."Dalia", Claude's sharp tone registered in the back of my mind and my eyes snapped up to him. "Snap out of it".What?I frowned as a sharp pain registered on my palms, I found my hands clenched together, my nails biting into the flesh of my skin.I looked up at Claude, my eyes wide in confusion.What had just happened?The door closed with a shut and Vivo was looking at me with a narrowed gaze, even Sydney was frowning.When did I stand up?The last thing I could remember was Sydney asking a question about controllers and she was seated then.I was seated for that matter, so why was I standing and why was Sydney looking conf
My head was a million pieces apart. That's how it felt.The pain was unbearable. At this rate, it was bordering on abnormal.And then a voice echoed in my head, soothing and lyrical."Sleep, mo ghaoil" .My eyes flashed open and I stared into Jacob's eyes in place of the beautiful night sky. He was up in my face, breathing softly, his eyes watching me intensely.His lips looked soft and inviting, plump and beautiful, pulling me to it.Then the pain registered.I screamed, feeling my back arch in pain. What the actual helllllMy body was dividing into two, my bones and my muscles petrified to stone. I screamed again, unable to hold it back. Was this how it was?"Breathe", Jacob's voice pierced the cocoon of pain warping around my head. "Breathe, Dalia''.Breathe?Breathe?I was doing just that.I clenched my eyes in pain, twisting in my body and gritting my teeth as my body was torn limb by limb, like I was being excarnated."It will pass if you don't fight it", Jacob spoke and my h
Jacob's povI didn't need to be told twice.I flashed to her side, unfolding her and placing her in my arms. Her body seemed so fragile and small. She let out another shriek in pain and my insides coiled, a grimace molding over my face. Sacha was by my side in a heartbeat, her face tightened at Dalia's pain.It seemed like I wasn't the only one that she had affected.They were going to ride me for the decision that I had made.I was going to ride myself for the decision too.But that was implying that she meant something to me.And she did not. Or so I tried to tell myself.Dalia squirmed in my arms, her body arching and twisting in pain. I heard the sound of a bone snap and my face blanched.Fuck.It had begun.There was no time again."Hold still, mo ghaoil", I whispered in her ear, doing well to mask the panic that had creeped up my bones to the pesky organ.Dalia turned, her eyes clenched from the pain. Her skin was clammy, damp with moisture like before and her temperature had
Jacob's povHer hands gripped my shoulders and I tilted my head a bit, to give her better access to the artery on my neck.Dalia moaned and my body hummed with approval.FuckkkShe positioned herself a little bit above my hard as a rock cock, and with a shift of her panties and a little inch down, I could be buried deep inside her.Just thinking about that had my eyes rolling in the back of my head and my fangs elongating in desire.The smell of sex filled the air and Dalia continued to feed from my neck, sucking in great sips.She moaned again and ground on my midsection, her pussy rubbing against the button of my slacks. I gripped her legs on both sides of her body, trying to get her to keep still and not incite what she most definitely wouldn't be able to handle.The things from my neck abruptly stopped and she raised her head, her gaze flashing to mine.Her lips were tinged blood red and her fangs were still out.She looked beautiful, so ethereal, my heart thrummed in my chest an
Claude stared at me, a grin expanding his lips. Sydney stared, her eyes glinting with amusement."We are definitely going out to celebrate this", he hollered, clapping his hands in his air, his body vibrating with excitement."Welcome to the fun side", Sydney gleamed, her fangs exposing with her smile.My eyes lit up at Claude's previous statement, and my gaze snapped to his. "I thought we were banned from leaving the mansion".Claude tsked, his blonde locs glinting in the light, "You were banned. We were not". "There's a huge difference".I frowned, slumping back against the pillows.They had come in less than a minute after I exited the bathroom, and here we were.Or here I was.Wondering if Jacob had been really serious when he gave off that rule and what was the worst that could happen if I disobeyed?I needed to see my friends. And no force in this world was going to stop meNot even the broody, confusing vampire that I was half in love with."You're free to go wherever you wa
I threw out every single skimpy cloth in the wardrobe, looking for a sultry dress that would pull in the big fish. I was done being sober and puppy eyed.He was getting engaged!!He had his dick inside me just the previous night and now he was engaged.I didn't want to believe if it was true or not.You know whatScrew himScrew the son of a mother…I trailed off, dragging in a deep breath to stave off my anger.There was no point wasting my emotions on an emotionless man.He could be holding me against my will, but that didn't mean he was going to have free will concerning my body ever againI was done. My heart could take no more.Engaged.He was going to regret this, I vowed. At least I knew the power my body held over him. The intense chemistry didn't only affect me. I was going to use that, I was going to milk it and I was going to make him regret ever demeaning me."We're angry", Sydney's voice came from behind me. "Finally", her eyes lit up as I turned to face her. A twis
Epilogue.I sensed her before she came into the bedroom, the door opened and her eyes focused on me like I was her next meal and she intended to ravish me. My sex grew hard from the look in her eyes and the fact that she was finally mine all mine.She closed the door softly behind her and walked like a cat to the feet of my bed. I laid there watching her with heated eyes following every movement the I realized I would give my heart for this woman. She had healed quite nicely in two weeks. The scar on her heart had almost faded and she was glowing. Thanks to the vampire blood running in her veins. Dalia tugged on her robe and dropped it to the ground and my mouth watered. She was wearing nothing underneath. The glorious swell of her breast rose with each of her rapid breaths. “What’s the matter?”, I teased and brought out my hard as a dumbbell cock. My tip was already glistened with prec*m from anticipation. “You can’t stop now”.Dalia’s eyes heated and I think she darted out her
Sacha’s povThey were gone. Like their physical bodies were still intact but they were so still like they had moved to another dimension and left their bodies. I would never fully understand the ways of those folks and I wouldn’t start now because they were pressing issues to be attended to. My best friend was lying lifeless on the floor with a dagger protruding from her chest. I refused to believe she was dead. Dalia couldn’t be dead. No one was appearing out of the shadows. Kane’s mum and what I guessed to be the other chick’s mum laid side by side each other. Dead, unmoving, no more coming back to this world. I didn’t even know what to do. I wanted to run to Dalia’s side but I was so scared that someone was going to come out of the shadows and slice my neck next.I looked at Kane and he didn’t even seem like he was aware of his surroundings. The other girl who I think was Lanie had been mumbling something ever since her mum had been offed and she was still mumbling the same
I stared wide eyed at the figure that loomed over with a dagger in her hand. Her dark hair was flowing down her face and her lips were blood red like she had just finished a blood feast. Her eyes were empty big black balls and I felt the cold she was emanating all the way up to my veins. She wanted me to kill Jacob.She wanted me to kill Jacob to live.I screamed but I couldn’t scream out because of the cloth tied against my mouth.“Go on. Take it”, She nudged the dagger towards me. I started down at the dagger and wondered if this was the infamous blade made from the things Jacob told me a while ago.“Your time is ticking”, the evil woman said and the blade clattered to the floor and out of nowhere a clock started ticking loudly. Like a countdown to a huge bomb.Instead this time, I didn’t know how long I had or what was going to happen to me if I refused to do what she said.My eyes went to Jacob whose face was cleared from every emotion. He wasn’t even looking at me but I unders
This had to end. The damage was already enough, the casualties, the people being locked up in their houses from the fear of what was going. From the panel board, I could see Leon and his team had already arrived at the garden center to help rescue the injured. What exactly did Adriana want? For Jacob to concede the city to her?“She knows St. Laurent is in the city council building”, the vampire that had been put in charge of babysitting me alongside Sydney spoke up.My eyes widened. Jacob was at the city building? He was at the very place 200 bots surrounded at the moment?“What?”, I croaked out. “Why?” “I thought he evacuated along with everyone”“Indirectly this is a fight for his city. You didn’t expect him to cower and hide at the face of his mother”, Sydney retorted, throwing her hair back as she watched the screen with searching eyes. I hadn’t even known when she had appeared.“But he can’t seriously think of facing her alone. See the army she has amassed. This doesn’t even
I ran without looking back, the guards overlooking the place were probably slacking or the cloak I was wearing possessed some kind of ethereal power. The woman had ordered me to close the door behind me and not look back, saying everything was written out in the letter.Hoping the letter was in the envelope, I held it tightly to my chest as I sneaked out from a heavy iron backdoor that was already open.I had a feeling it was the woman’s doing.I walked for a mile or two, seeing nothing but grass all aroundWhere the fuck was I?Now was the time to try that little trick I had been taught once upon a time.I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath in turn as I imagined my room in Jacob’s historical mansion. The blood red curtains appeared in my mind, or were they lavender colored?The fuck? This wasn’t going to work.I imagined the strategy room where we had stayed the last time to plan, the long table and the oak wood chairs. The wind whooshed through my ears and suddenly five sets o
Jacob's POVGreen eyes stared at me, his eyebrows quirked up in askance but I hadn't been paying attention.My mind was far away from here, my lungs felt tight with every passing minute. Questions swarm through my head, as I stared into space. What was happening to her at the moment? I knew she couldn't be dead because the bond still felt strong but the worry gnawed at me from within."Boss", Sydney voiced and my eyes snapped to hers. "We are awaiting your instructions".My head went blank for a second as I tried to rehash what Leon had said from where he seated opposite.Seeming to know I hadn't heard him, Leon repeated, his green eyes focused and mean, "Words on the street says a number of trucks had been seen moving into the city".I nodded, finally understanding. My birthgiver hadn't been building her soldiers in my city, she'd been transporting them in, right under my nose.I had given her that power.I had given her the power to bring me to my knees and she knew it. My lungs
InterludeHi, my loves. Merry Christmas. Happy new year. Happy new months… I suck…I know. I terribly suck for leaving you all hanging.Well, the past months have been my absolute worst. I've been through things and came out even when I thought I couldn't.Enough of the sob story…blahhThe good news is I'm back…And so is Jacob and Dalia. And…..drumroll please…. Leon and Sacha.Takeover III came to, my head pounding like a mega steel drum.Fuck, this kidnapping shit never gets old, does it?I blink, the lights like sears piercing through my corneas. My eyes adjusted quickly and I found out my hands were tightly cinched behind me.I looked around nervously, my heart rate tripling and sweat rolling like a snail down my back. The memories came back and I tried to swallow my fear. Michael, Adriana, there were a lot of people with me on their shit list, even though I had done absolutely nothing to deserve being on there.A noise sounded outside the small room and I closed my eyes immedi
No, I shook my head rapidly, my eyes still wide with shock. It wasn't possible.Michael smiled and walked into the house, his eyes scanning the place.Sacha, the thought flickered in my head. Sacha was in the kitchen. He was going to see her if she stepped out."How've you been, darling. Did you miss me?" Michael asked, tilting his head a bit as his cold and callous eyes met with mineHow had I never noticed this before?How had I not noticed the cold and calculating nature behind his eyes?"What do you want?", I managed to ask even as my head was going haywire with what to do. "A lot of things, sweet cheeks", He answered and Sacha chose that horrible moment to step out. Her eyes were wide and there was a butcher knife in her clenched fists."Get out", she seethed and the tension in the air grew more rigid.No, I screamed in my head. Michael was dangerous, surely she was bluffing about confronting him with a butcher knife.I stepped in front of her as Michael's smile grew and his fan
I kissed him like my life depended on it... because maybe it did.Jacob hefted me up and my body folded around his, my legs wrapped around his waist and my body melted into him.This was what I had always wanted."We can't do this here", Jacob mumbled at me but kept on nibbling on my mouth.I pulled away, feeling elated as I searched his eyes."You can drop me now", I murmured, looking anywhere but at his mouth."You feel so comfortable right here", He smiled and my heart melted."Sydney and Claude will be back any moment and we still have the Dick situation", I said level headedly Jacob sighed and placed me carefully on my feet. "Come home with me"."No", I stated immediately and watched his head tilt in confusion."No?"I nodded, trying to hide my smile. I took a step back to at least find a breathing space from his magnetic presence."What do you mean, no?""You hurt me more than a couple of times", I answered matter of factly. "Don't you think I'd be stupid if I don't let you wor
