2020-07-14 14:58:28Trisha didn't want to wake up at this point. She just wanted to stay in her dream world with Kanda where she was safe, warm, wanted. Everything was perfect there. The waking world? Not so much.
A soft cough at the foot of her bed made her sit up and rub her sleep blurred eyes. The sun was just rising up at this point, its weak rays barely highlighted the figure at the end of her bed. Her kitten didn't attack this one. If anything he was rubbing against him? "Nakuni?" Trisha called as she yawned. Who else would Claw approve of?
"Sorry, I thought you might already be up." Ryan's soft voice filtered to her ears and Trisha grabbed the covers and pulled them to her neck.
Strange, why was she so conscious with Ryan but would have been okay if it had been Nakuni?
"I wasn't able to find Nakuni, so I came to get you myself." As he spoke he cradled the kitten and pet it with a single finger down its spine. It lifted against the contact purring all the w

"Are you ready?" Trisha's voice bubbled with the laughter she tried to contain.Ryan was slumped on the couch, his entire body pressed into it as if he could get away. She repeated her question and the man swallowed before nodding. "I'm ready.""Good, we'll go with something a bit old fashioned. It won't be as gory as some of the newer things I could show you. We'll just start easing you in at first."Trisha announced with a grin. She took a seat far on the other side of the couch and messed with the controller that Ryan had given her.It didn't take her long to figure it out and scroll through the movies available. Being rich was like living in an entirely different world.He had so much available at his fingertips, and it looked like he never took advantage of it. She entered the movie she was looking for and smiled as she pushed the play button."I'm going to ask again," Ryan whispered. "Are you sure that there's n

Trisha stretched out as the last movie played. "It's getting late. We've been watching stuff all day.""I told you I would," Ryan whispered. His voice was even shakier now. The couch had nearly swallowed him with as much force as he pushed himself back into the softness."You really pushed yourself too hard," Kanda commented with a grin."Kanda, you need to go home," Ryan ground out between his teeth. "Trisha won't be playing your game tonight.""Hey!" Trisha objected. She instantly felt regret for feeling sorry for him at all. "You're not trying to get me to see your creepy relatives again, are you?""No," Ryan shook his head. "But I need to sleep soon. I have an important job tomorrow."Trisha stayed silent as she thought about what he said. "Why do you need to tell me that? I can just stay up and pull an all-nighter. There's a lot that Kanda and I need to do in-game."Ryan sat up and brushed himself off. "Because I can'

Ryan frowned and looked off to the side and over the balcony. "You're not exactly asking for the easiest thing, are you?""I felt like they would devour me," Trisha replied. "I didn't feel safe, at all.""I won't leave your side if you have to do anything else with them, deal?""No," Trisha shook her head as she stared up at him.The man's eyes had narrowed the tiniest bit but he just nodded. "To have you completely removed from them is going to strip you of the reason for being here. How can you pretend to be my wife if you're not there with me?""You can just tell them I'm sick, or even tell them I'm pregnant or something," she replied. "I just refuse to be near them, ever."Ryan sighed and a weak smile flickered on his lips. "You win. I'll figure out a solution, somehow."Trisha grinned. "That settles it then, thank you."He nodded and they moved forward once more. It was several hundred more yards before they go

Reality crashed over Trisha like a tidal wave and she took a step backward as her hands went to her lips. "Oh my God," she gasped. "I mean, I-" she shook her head. "I didn't mean that I don't know why I said that."Ryan held a hand up. "You don't have to explain." His eyes were studying her as the heat flooded through her system.What was wrong with her? Why would she ever admit that!? It made no sense."It was just a dream," his voice was like steel as if that was the end of it. "You don't need to get worked up over a dream."Ryan smiled at her, but there was a strain to it and his hand that rested on the chair was white with tension."I must be more tired than I thought," Trisha sighed. "Maybe I should just go to bed and give this up. I'm logging in so late anyway. They might have taken off without me." She reached out to turn off her monitor.Ryan's hand covered hers. "No," he rebuked. "This is only once a year, isn't it? Play, I wa

Trisha's every move was automatic as Ryan's words echoed through her head. He wanted to do that again? Her lips still burned from the brief contact that they'd had with us. When had this started? Ryan hadn't shown much interest in her until now.Though he had tried to cook for her once. True, it ended in failure. But it was an attempt none the less. And he'd tried to make up for his nasty relatives by doing anything she wanted, despite him being not okay with the choice of events."Congratulations."Ryan's smooth voice was in her ear and she swallowed. "For what?" her words were a weak whisper."You beat it."The haze surrounding her dissipated and she stared at her screen and the victory screen. The items that magically appeared in her inventory. "We really did it?"Funny, she couldn't remember even fighting it. Ryan had been on her mind the entire time. Why was such a handsome actor doing this to her? Was she about to end

Kanda was on the bed, strapped down with leather restraints. His blonde bangs hung in front of his eyes as he smiled at her. "Hey," he greeted. "I thought you'd be later. This is early for you."Trisha swallowed hard. He was talking so easily despite being completely naked. She couldn't take her eyes off his bobbing dick. "I got tired early."He smirked. "Or did you just want to see me early? Were you having a bad day?"Trisha shook her head. "No, not really. Just a weird one. But we don't have to talk about that."She licked her lips. "You were serious before? About me being in control this time?" She bit her lip as she stared at him. She knew exactly what she wanted and there would be no hesitation in it.If anything Kanda's grin grew. "Have I lied to you yet?""No," Trisha whispered. "I'm always worried every time that I close my eyes. What am I going to do if I sleep and you're not there?"She was an addict, she knew that. B

Trisha closed her eyes but try as she might she could not get back to sleep and to Kanda's side again."You look like you're having trouble getting back to sleep. I'm sorry I woke you."Trisha's eyes popped open and Ryan's dark eyes were practically in front of her."What are you doing?" Trisha demanded. I thought you were going back to bed."Ryan looked away from her. "I wanted to watch over you and make sure you got some rest yourself." His nostrils flared again. "Are you okay?" He repeated.Trisha sat up with a deep sigh. The urge to assault him had faded with the message from Logan. The message she still hadn't replied to."No, I just can't sleep now. You should go to bed though."He continued to stare at her, his eye focused on her lips. "I won't lie, I still want to kiss you."The arousal that had clouded her mind was gone now. "I'm sorry, but I can't.""Because you don't know me well enough?" he

"Let me make sure I understand you. You want me to cut your hair?" Trisha demanded as she stared at their clasped hands."That's right," Logan repeated. He glanced behind her at the door. "Was I interrupting something?""No," Trisha was quick to reply. "You weren't interrupting anything. But I don't understand. Logan, isn't your hair one of your trademarks? What makes you such a distinctive model?""You mean besides my abs?" He teased. His smile turned somber. "I've given i a lot of thought. We've been on two different dates now that this monstrosity has stopped us from being together. I've told you, I really like you. I'm not lying. You're not like any of the other women I've ever dated. You're real.""As opposed to being a toy?" Trisha teased."I'm being serious here. I want to spend more time with you, and if cutting my hair allows me to do that then that's what I'll do.""But why me?" Trisha shook her head at him. "I don't kn

Trisha's fingers flew over the keyboard as she nibbled on her lip. She paused to take a sip of her water before getting back to work. A step behind her made her freeze and glance over her shoulder. Ryan smiled down at her. "What's up?" she asked."You've been working hard here. We haven't seen you in a while."Trisha chuckled. "You know how Rachel is. I need to finish this coding for her before I can come downstairs. It's the least I can do for everything she's done for us."Ryan wriggled the fingers on his robotic arm in perfect mimicry as if he'd never had his arm ripped off, to begin with. "True, but you still deserve a break."Trisha rolled her neck from side to side. "I think you're right. Is Nakuni finished with lunch?"Ryan nodded. "Part of the reason I came to get you. I wanted to escort you down." He smiled. "Any chance to get to spend some time with you."Trisha's smile widened. "Which is why I'm working so hard. We almost have it

Trisha was stripped bare to Nakuni's ravenous gaze. There was no turning back now, and even if Vanku, or hell, if any of the others walked in, Trisha wouldn't stop. Not until she fucked him.The shifter stripped himself faster than he'd even done to her. Trisha's eyes were glued to his massive dick that bobbed as if acknowledging her gaze and she licked her lips."You're not getting a taste of that, not yet," Nakuni whispered. "I'm too far gone for foreplay, all I want to do is bury myself inside you. I want to feel your walls flutter against and clench me," he growled.Trisha nodded. She wanted that too. "Wait," she whispered as she frowned."What?" he questioned a bit his edge fading away by concern. "Are you too tired?" he bit his lip hard. "It'll be hard but I can stop if I have to."Hard, ha. "No," she answered with a shake of her head. "But, protection?"Nakuni tilted his head to the side with a grunt. "No cubs yet?" he que
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The First Visit
A thousand years. Trisha tried to wrap her mind around the words but no matter how she fit them together, they didn't make sense. "Why would you do that?""I repay my debts. I admit I was not aware of the Council's other doings. And why they were stupid enough to bring them here, I am not sure. My guess is it was those children of Westworth's. Those twins never did have brains. You eliminated a threat to the Assembly."The vials. Trisha sat up and her body didn't scream at her for doing so. Vanku moved back as she did so. Vanku's eyes focused on hers, a challenge in their depths.And the pieces fell into place."It wasn't them being stupid," Trisha whispered. "They were going to attack you guys, that's why they brought it here."Vanku smiled, this time her teeth were kept hidden. "Yes, good job, Trisha. I admit I didn't think your kind were capable of critical thought. It's likely they were taking advantage of the situation.""I'm not going
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Life
An ear-splitting roar forced Trisha's eyes open. A jaguar bounded down the stairs and following him was a bear, a lamia, wolves, demons, and things that Trisha couldn't even comprehend.She was dropped to the ground like a sack of garbage as the vampires turned to confront the swarm.Jace writhed this way and that, easily looping around Raphael's leg and squeezing it until the vampire was forced to stay still. Jace smirked. "I'm not your death today.""I am," Kanda promised and the demon launched himself at the vampire as Jace let him go. The two tumbled into the dirt on the ground and Trisha could only watch.Liliana laughed as Ryan teetered toward her. "Did you really think there were just two of us here?" she demanded and she snapped her fingers. From all sides, the vampires flowed in as if just waiting for the signal.The fighters were swarmed in seconds. Kanda rolled by Trisha with Raphael on top and Trisha reached out for him, but her a

Trisha didn't speak to anyone else until she was alone with Ryan. The pack had given him his own house as he recovered. As she entered, his eyes were on her."It was about what we expected, wasn't it?" he asked. What was left of his arm was in a sling and the stench of burned flesh lingered in the air."They're making you leave with the others," Trisha answered. "All of the Council has to leave, so after all this, you're just back at square one again."Ryan shrugged. "But you're safe, and you'll be safe. That's all I care about. I know that asking you to help me in the first place was selfish, and I ask for your forgiveness."Trisha didn't answer. His words had a tone of finality to them. A sense that she couldn't push aside. "They're going to kill you, aren't they?" she whispered the words.Would Liliana allow that? The crazy vampire was obsessed with him, there was no way she'd let him die, was there?"We shouldn't talk about t

"We have to talk."Trisha never liked hearing those words. Considering they came from Vanku, she liked them even less. Especially considering they were directed to her. "Are you sure?" she asked.The dragon nodded her scales clinking as she did so. "You will come with me now. There has been a severe accusation." Her eyes flickered over the group. "I can not deny there has been an attack.""I told you," Sofia piped from the side. "You can smell it too.""Yes, vampires did attack this group. I will talk to the main human, alone. The rest of you may go.""I'm not leaving her alone," Logan growled out. "Not with you."Vanku snorted and a plume of smoke trickled from her nose. "I am the Assembly leader. Are you seriously insinuating that I can not be trusted?""Not with a human," Nakuni answered from his place on Mark's back. "Your hatred for them is known.""Why wouldn't I despise the race that has driven mine to the br
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Impending Doom
Logan moved like a bullet train. Trisha sensed the world flickering around her as he raced but she couldn't pull herself out of her spiral.Was she about to lose Ryan? Lose him before she could even truly get to know him?No.Logan slowed down and her head shot up. She prepared herself to yell at her husband, but the words died like ash on her tongue.Jace was in front of them. The lamia grunted and flicked a hand in greeting. Blood streaked all over his body and his tail was wrapped around Ryan's arm. A giant puddle of blood pooled under the two."Is he?" Trisha whispered not able to force the words.Jace rolled his eyes. "No, but you guys got here too late for the battle. The cowards ran off." He smirked. "Those that survived anyway."Sofia snarled. "What? They attacked you and then left? I hate vampires," she shook her head with a snort and a roll of her eyes."What are you doing here?" Kanda demanded. He h

The rest of the meeting was a blur for Trisha.Did Vanku talk more?She couldn't be sure.The only thing that Trisha did know was that she would not let Ryan be taken from her. She hadn't been able to spend as much time with him as some of the others, but that was something she planned to remedy and him being somewhere overseas wasn't part of those plans.She'd do whatever it took to save him."Very well, human, you've said your piece, and I have said mine. I am leaving now to talk to the wolf pack leader. I expect you to be gone by the time I return. I will not tolerate humans being around me longer than I have to endure."Vanku's eyes slid past her and the dragon clicked once more as she walked away from the group. The other Assembly members besides Sofia filed after her and ascended the creaky steps."I'll take you guys back to your house," Sofia offered, soft so Vanku didn't pick up the conversation. "Besides, I wanted to ta
My Pretend Marriage to the Vampire Billionaire The Assembly's Ruling
"We find that the Council is not at fault for any of these transgressions. There is no proof besides what out demon swears they have found, but as we know they can't always be trusted. And so, I will rule in favor of the Council. You may leave, Madam Westworth, we will handle matters from here."What? How could any of this be possible? Trisha wanted to throw something at the smirking monarch of a woman. Why didn't they believe Sofia? And if she had more secret help, why hadn't they shown themselves? She knew better than to talk though."I believe I'll stay here and witness the punishment for these barbarians. It is my right." Westworth replied with a sly smile."No," Vanku responded with a click that confused Trisha. Had she made that sloshy snap sound with her mouth? How?"What?" Westworth demanded. "You're going against the rules. The Assembly does have to abide by them.""The rules only state that I would find if your words involving your organi
