I could not believe it, I looked round at everyone then at the stage I could see Claudine’s angry face. She stormed off the stage angrily and no one seemed to have noticed.“Let the dance begin”The host said and the music started again.Lucian looked at me as if asking for my permission, slowly I held unto his shoulders while he wrapped his hands around my waist and slowly we moved in accordance to the music. I avoided eye contact with him, the closeness was enough to make me shy. I kept shifting my gaze from the ceiling to the crowd then the stage. “Look at me Emma”Lucian said in a soft tone. I looked to my left before shifting my gaze to him then our eyes locked. Looking at him now it was impossible to look away. The air was getting tense but it was not long before I got lost in his eyes. It felt like everyone began to vanish and it was only us left in the hall because right now he was all I saw.His eyes, his lips, his beautiful body, he is just perfect.Earlier today I could no

I got to the room and saw Lucian crouched down Infront of my drawer."What are you doing there, one moment I am gone and the next moment you are going through my things""I am not going through your things"He answered without looking away from the drawer."Then what, cause that is what it looks like"He closes the drawer and opens another"I wanted to bring out my clothes but i mistook your drawer for mine""Yeah likely excuse"I crossed my hands and rolled my eyes. He pulled out some things from the drawer, closed it and straighten up before turning to face me. He looked at me for a moment too long then he just walked past me."Not an excuse"He finally said when he had gotten to the door of the bathroom, he walked in and closed the door. I heard the water of the shower come on before I moved again. Maybe he did not like the bathtub. Still with crossed hands I walked to my vanity and looked at the mirror. The way he looked at me, i could not tell what he was thinking cause i could

Chapter 27He placed little kisses in my neck making a trail and when he had gotten to a spot and placed a kiss I curled, that was my soft spot. He must have noticed this cause he stopped placing kisses and nibbled on that area, licking and sucking. I held unto his shirt tightly. Could there be anything that would bring greater pleasure than this but I wanted more, more. He drew back and I drew him back by the collar. I did not even want a little bit of a break from this. ~•Lucian’s POV•~I drew back to catch a breath and give Emma the chance to do so. I was already feeling the real me come to life, my canines had elongated at this point and my animal instincts were taking over and I had no intentions to tame them more over I had no intentions to stop them. Oh how long have I longed for Emma, to taste her and feel her close. Don’t do anything when I can not control my self I warned her but she didn’t listen. Good thing she did not cause I would have don

“Sorry sir but the Ink well you describe has just been sold but I have others that may interest you “The old shop keeper said“No sir , I want the ones with the inscriptions I described ““I can always have the words inscribed on another one”“No, it is alright sir”I walked to the door and stopped then I walked back to the counter.“May I get the name or address of the person that you sold it too?”I did not want to sound like a creep.“Do not get me wrong, I just want to find who ever it is and know if I can pass them an offer in exchange of the Ink Well “The shop keeper narrowed his gaze.“Sorry but I am afraid I can not give out such information. Do you need it perhaps for any specific reason for it is only just an ink well “He said. Something about the way he said it almost made me believe he knew about the Ink well’s power. I looked at his hand that was placed on the counter. His wrist had a mark on it. They were two triangles drawn to form a star. I could tell that I have se

I woke up and every where was very bright. It took a while before the events of last night flooded my head and the first thing I thought was “where was Lucian”. I looked round my room to check if he was on the chair he usually sat but he was not there. I tried paying attention to listen and know if he was in the shower but he was not there also. The curtains had been drawn open and my bed side lamp has been turned off, that only meant he had woken up so he was probably in the parlor or some place else within the house. Last night was magnificent. I had never felt that way before. The image of us kissing brought shock waves to my tummy. He did things to me that I could not explain. I have always scolded myself each time I thought of unholy things about Lucian, asking my self where are my principles yet yesterday I tossed those same principles in the bin and I did not even care. I knew I had wanted him and he apparently did the same.Don’t do anything when I can not control my selfAt

The waitress brought our food in no time. I had pancakes and coffee and Lucian waffles, bacon, eggs and tea instead. When we were done eating I signaled a waitress for our bill and she said the meal was on the house, because Lucian was Mr. Pines Field.“Such a nice privilege do you not agree”I asked him when we had left the café.“I suppose”His reply was short and he did not say a thing after that. As we passed, people who knew him waved and it kind of felt awkward because that meant all these people witnessed us kiss.“Where are we going now?”I heard Lucian ask, waking me up from my thoughts.“Grocery shopping, have you forgotten?”I answered.“And after that?, any personal plans for today?”“Actually, now that you have mentioned it yes. I planned on getting my nails done today. A manicure and pedicure session and maybe get my brows trimmed. I also planned a full spa day”I answered and looked over at him.“Why did you ask any ways?”I asked him. Cause it was sort of weird that h

We walked to her porch and getting to the door I knocked. “Some one is home, I can hear the sounds made by her Tv. She must be inside “He said after a minute of knocking without getting any response.“But she is not responding “Which was bad, she would not leave her TV on but why would she not be responding if she was home.“That could only mean something is indeed wrong”“Then what should we do?”I asked unsure. I was starting to get scared.“We help ourselves in”“Would that not be wrong, breaking in”“Not when the life of some one is in danger”“May be in danger”I corrected him. We could be wrong about this. Maybe she simply forgot to turn off her TV. We were talking about an old woman here.“Maybe we should just call the police if we think anything is wrong. That is the most reasonable thing to do”I suggested“Why call the police when we are here already “Before I could contest he turned the knob and it opened freely. The door was not even locked then he entered inside while

Lucian was right. It was not my fault she was not my fault Mrs. Clara was in that condition. It was an accident and we actually saved her life. Despite knowing this I could not stop wishing I came earlier. We were finally leaving the hospital after much signing of documents. They said visiting hours were long over and we could not see her but we could come back tomorrow. When we got outside it was very dark. I was not expecting it to be this dark because inside the hospital was very bright and it was impossible to see outside the hospital from where we were.Outside was dead silent and apart from the hospital staff moving around there was no one else to be seen.We walked down the street to board a taxi but there was no moving vehicle, I could not even see any head light from an approaching vehicle.“I guess we are walking home”Lucian said.“It is a very long distance, I am too weak I do not think I can”I told him. I have been up all day and the hospital kept me busy too. I have al

EMMA’S POV Ever since that day that Lucien had hung out my dirty linen for me to see, used my heart to play a game of ping pong, I couldn’t stand the sight of him.I was repulsed staying in the same space next to him, he didn’t get to treat me like that, didn’t get to say a whole lot of mean things and expect me to still be cordial with him.I mean hello, you do not get to do that.So that is why I have been ignoring him ever since then, focused entirely on my book, that seemed to confuse me a whole lot, and that stinging pain, and metal colliding with fresh was more prominent after every word I wrote.I didn’t know how to explain it, I didn’t know who to ask.I mean I could easily ask Lucien but then my ego would not let me.Right now I was on my way to the antique shop, after impolitely declining Lucien’s offer to accompany me.I didn’t necessarily want to be drawn to his bad energy.Because that was what he was a ticking time bomb that was waiting patiently to detonate taking ev

LUCIEN’S POV It took a while before she responded to my kisses, and when she did.It was blissful, I nibbled, sucked, and teased her bottom lip which elicited a soft moan from her. Her soft moan turning me on.The kiss went from slow and steady to needy, and a little bit aggressive, my hand found the curves at her back, groping softly, and her hand running through the roots of my hair.This action seemed to stir the wolf in me, begging to be let out more than ever, I was having a hard time keeping it under a leash.I didn’t want to hurt her like this, and for a moment, I wished I was human. Wished that I could give her my all without afraid of a beast letting loose.Sensing my urge to pull back off she pulled me back in, one of her legs wrapping around my waist, as I teased her with my already growing bulge.This seemed to be doing the trick as she became a quivering mess pleading with me in small breathes not to stop.Letting out a small growl, I started to feel the changes, my

LUCIEN'S POVIgnoring Emma was the most stupid decision that I had made in my entire life, I had to ensure that I was out of here before she could suspect anything.And I knew nothing could ever get past Emma.She was too smart for her own good, I had woken up earlier than her this morning, made breakfast quietly so I wouldn’t have to hold a conversation with her if she woke up.If I needed to avoid her, I had to be out of here, so I had taken my time to know all the nooks and cranny of pine field. I even saw the antique shop where Emma got the Inkwell, the shopkeeper engrossed in whatever it was he was doing. I wasn’t exactly surprised when I got home, and Emma had tried engaging me in small talks, conversation that I didn’t want to be in, so I had given her one excuse of going to take a shower, shower that ended up taking hours to finish.Honestly trying to avoid Emma, the clothes she had on was messing with my head, turning me into a complete recluse, and she didn’t even notice

I didn’t know how it got from this to this over night. I mean we had cuddled over night. Spent the whole night trying to talk everything out.I mean we even cuddled, and now he would not even look at me. The moment I knew something was wrong was when I woke up to an empty bed. The sheets still smelling strongly of his scent.But there was no Lucien. And I didn’t know what to make of that. There had been lots of heightened emotions last night. Sexual tension enveloping us like a blanket, for a moment I had hoped the cuddles would have led to something else, I mean I would have been down for it.Down for anything as long as it was with Lucien Blacthorne.But that was not the issue here. The issue was Lucien had been ignoring me ever since this morning. Speaking of which, I didn’t even see him, I have looked for him everywhere. And I mean everywhere. I just couldn’t place it. It felt like he was close by, yet far What was worse was that I could feel him, sense him, and even smel

LUCIEN’S POVEver since this morning, Emma had been ignoring me although I deserved the cold shoulders, but it still hurt. I kept on stealing glances at her during our ride home this morning, but I couldn’t get a read of her emotions. She seemed closed off, and upset I just wanted her to smile at me again. I almost died of a heart attack when I finally heard her speak, but her words weren’t directed at me, But the driver.And I wished she would at least talk to me, I wanted her to hear me out so bad. Not even when I offered her my hand to take, her icy reply when I told her we had gotten home made me recoil.Uneasiness overtook me.I let her have her space after I asked her if she needed anything; she didn’t want me around her anyway, so I sat in the living room staring at her as she wrote, her face Devoid of any emotion. But I could tell she was at peace, at least before she wrote whatever made her heart rate rise a whole lot.She didn’t even speak to me on our way to the hos

EMMA’S POVThe ride home was filled with silence, except for the soft purring of the Ac that seemed to fuel my irritation. I was not in the right frame of mind to hold a decent conversation with Lucien.The ride home seemed to drag on, and I couldn’t help but curse my bad luck.His actions lately seemed to drive me over the edge, and his words hitting the appropriate places like a stray bullet.And it definitely seemed to hit its mark.I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I was his roommate, considering what we have been through together.I just didn’t get it. Get the fact that I was unlovable, and it broke me. It broke through my resolve, and there was nothing I could do about it. I definitely didn’t know what I did wrong or where everything went wrong.His indifference fuelling my irritation, I definitely didn’t want to be around him at this point, not until I would be able to exorcise myself of the feeling I had for him.I knew it would take a while before that co

Why would Lucian introduce me as a room mate. Was that what he actually saw me as? Just a room mate.I looked at him but I noticed he was avoiding my gaze. He did not want to look at me, either that or he did not have the guts to look at me after what he just said.“Ohh, just a room mate “The Emma next door said and I saw her smile, a sly smile.I kept quiet and drew my food closer and started eating. I was not in the mood to talk to any of them.“Pardon my presence at your table, I was just hoping to eat with Lucian. Are you okay with my presence here?”She was directing her question to me.Why was she asking me this. Was she not already on our table?I lifted my head and I made eye contact with her. I wanted to tell her that if she really wanted to eat with Lucian so bad why don’t the both of them just get a table else where and leave me alone. After Few seconds of not responding to her request I spoke.“You are already here are you not? Do you not think it would be rude to tell

Opening the door to our room and discovering Emma was already awake. The curtains were open, the bed was laid but she was not in the room I also did not hear water running from the bathroom so where could she be. I went to the kitchen but she was not there either. Where was she? Did she leave to find me?I stepped out of the kitchen and turned around just to find Emma in the room wearing the dress she wore yesterday. That means she has taken a shower. How long did I spend in Emma’s room?“Good morning”She greeted“Morning”I said“Take your bath, get dressed, so we can go eat. I am hungry”She did not even ask me where I had been.I just nooded and did as she said.We got to the diner after ten. It was full, fuller than last night. The look of the bar was different, the music genre too was different.“What are you having?”Emma asked.“I don’t know”I replied.“What of you, what are you getting?I asked her.“Custard, custard and toast “Ohhkay then, I would have the same”She look

She was making a great deal of noise and hermovements were causing a lot of discomfort. What was making her to scream even. I grabbed her hands that was around my neck and drew them apart before letting it go then she fell to the bed. I turned to face her and she got up from a lying position and was now knelling on the bed.“What is the problem, I do not know why you are yelling”“There”She said pointing her fingers in a direction. I turned to follow her direction. She seemed to be pointing at the bathroom door.“There is a rat, a really big rat. I saw it and I have been trying to get it out but it is not working. “A Rat?”I asked her despite hearing every thing she just said. So it was a rat that led to all these damages, messes, destruction and noise. I mean look at the room. She broke a lamp all because of a single rat“Yes. I am afraid of those things. They carry diseases.”She said curling up her toes in disgust.I sighed quietly for only me to hear. This was ridiculous. And
