My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 26 We're Going to London
-Arabella-Ronan is not in the house when I wake up, so I eat and wander around the house for a bit until I see a van stopping in the driveway through the window.Blanca walks down the path right in time to greet the driver, and he goes to the back of the truck and lets two more guys out. They start lowering enormous boxes and hauling them toward the library.I realize it's what Ronan had me order for the room behind the bookcase. They don't even look at me as they keep hauling boxes, until they finally bring in the polished wooden desk and set it down behind the couch, which is pretty much the only place it fit.Blanca thanks them and lets them out, and turns to me once she closes the door."I'm not going to unpack all of that. I came here to escape the attendants from the other house, and suddenly there's more work to do here! And where are all of those things going to fit, anyway?!" She keeps on complaining as she disappears into the kitchen, making me chuckle.
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 27 Her Happiness Become My Priority
-Ronan-Ara looks on edge this morning, and I can perceive something along the lines of discomfort and apprehensiveness through the stone on my watch. I don't know why she seems to be dreading the trip to London, but this time, I think I won't ask. I'm actually eager to be away from the house for a while, even if having a bachelor party on top of the looming date of the vampire council isn't exactly encouraging.Especially if Desmond will be involved. When we're about to arrive at the airport, I remember that I've gotten her something and never gave it to her."I have a gift for you," I say, and her head turns in my direction expectantly. I pull out the phone from my pocket and place it in her hand. "Let's just say that I forgot this was lying around, and that I have no idea where it went." "What…what do you mean?" "You can use it to talk to your sister. Don't let anyone know, and don't use it in front of me unless I tell you that you can. I left the charger
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 28 Everything Is Not Fine
-Arabella-It's late in the evening when we arrive in London, and the ten-hour flight was made infinitely better because Jay and his master happened to be there.Ronan's friend holed himself up in one of the bedrooms at the back of the plane, and Jay and I were able to talk freely. His relationship with Gabriel, however, only makes me sad. They get along so well that it's hard to picture them as a master-attendant relationship. It's not that I can presume to want something similar with Ronan, but at the same time, it gives me…nostalgia? Even though that's not possible, given that I never met Ronan before he picked me, I feel this yearning that I can't quite explain. A limo is already waiting for us outside the airport after we get off the plane, and Alexandros seems even less pleased when Ronan tells him that he invited Gabriel to stay over at his manor. Everything seems like an affront to the plans he has made for Ronan's bachelor party."I planned for a night at
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 29 Guess What I Want
-Ronan-I know Alex will be pissed that I've left once he realizes that I'm gone, but I don't care. The party was a drag anyway, with old and boring vampires and an abundance of attendants and escorts. Through the watch, I still feel Arabella in anguish, and I stupidly forgot to check the number for the phone I gave her, so I can't just call.I step out of the black cab, paying double for the man's trouble, and run into the manor."Sir! Are you all right?" Julia greets me. I haven't seen her in ages, but I don't have time to catch up now."Where is my attendant? Did she arrive?" I ask urgently."Yes, she settled into your bedroom. I apologize if that wasn't proper. I don't know if you keep the same protocol as Mr. Desmond or your parents." She keeps talking, but I'm already halfway up the stairs."Thank you!" I shout out, taking the final climb to the third floor and slamming my room's door open.Ara is sitting at the foot of the bed, crying. She's stil
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 30 A Day Tour in London
-Arabella-When I wake up Ronan isn't in the bedroom, every inch of my body is sore and the skin on my bottom burns. Memories flow back to me and I immediately blush with embarrassment at the thought of what we did last night. It wasn't the first time we had sex, but this time…was more than exhilarating. I was so turned on by him that he could have tied me up and played with every inch of my skin and I would have loved it.It was like I was possessed by my desire for him. For his body, for all of him.I realize he must have moved me at some point in the night, because the last thing I remember is collapsing on the bed, spent. As mind-blowing as last night was, it left me exhausted.This is so messed up, and I feel terrible for attacking him the way I did. If we didn't end up having sex, I would have committed the worst mistake of my life. I can't admit it to him or to anyone, but now I know for sure that I've fallen in love with Ronan, and there's nothing I c
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 31 I Would Have Kissed Her
-Ronan-I am being torn in two.One part of me wants to get away from Ara, because if that call hadn't interrupted us back at the clock tower, I would have kissed her. And that would have been the end of me. She might not understand the significance of a kiss for vampires, but if she knows that I have only ever kissed one other person before, she will get an idea of how important it is.The other part of me doesn't want to be away from her.I haven't had such a fun day in ages. Decades, really.Her awe and curiosity about everything was contagious, and I found myself thinking of the same old monuments and places from different perspectives I had never imagined based on her questions and comments. I've lived for a long time, and a human, of all people, is the one who has me seeing things differently. We turn toward the road that leads to the manor, and I already see from afar that giving Gabriel free rein of the party may not have been the best id
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 32: The Hunt
-Arabella-The elation I felt all day dies when I see Stella with Ronan in his room. When I exit the bathroom again, though, everyone is thankfully gone.I can't help but feel a little angry that he didn't tell me she was coming. Something else happened while I locked myself up in the bathroom, because all the suitcases and bags that Stella's attendant had in her hands aren't there anymore.I get dressed and put on some light makeup, and by the time I'm done, it seems like the party has started. When I open the door, I can hear the faint beat of music and the general murmurs of people.Jay is leaving his room when I go to the second floor, and he greets me with a hug."Did you have fun today?" he asks me cheerfully, and I nod. "Good. And we're going to have even more fun tonight. I've asked Gabriel to set up a section for attendants. We can dance and do what we want there, away from the vampires." "That sounds amazing," I say. He winks at me and takes my a
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 33 The Kiss
-Ronan-I knew Alex would have us play The Hunt at some point in the night, but I don't like this twist he has put on the game. I could have stopped it, but before I ruined everyone's night the event had begun, and I found myself rushing forward along with the others. When they signaled that the hunt had begun, I had rushed toward the garden, knowing that was where Ara had been before. With my sight impaired by the blindfold, all I could rely on was her smell, and I could faintly distinguish it, along with Jay's scent. I followed the faint trace to the forest, in the direction of the gardening shed, but something is clearly masking Ara's scent, possibly something she has drunk. Alcohol gets into the bloodstream and is also released through the pores, so right now, I could be following any other attendant's trace. I know this forest well, having spent years playing here when I was young and hunting when I grew older. That helps with finding my way, but not in loc

My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 48 Who You Belong To
-Ronan-I don't rest at all on the flight from London. I am taken directly to her safe house, hungry to lay eyes on her again, to smell her scent again, to feel her warmth again. The door to the house is open and a man's voice is trailing from inside. I tune my ears and listen to every word of Tommy's declaration. My first impulse is to enter and rip his head off, but I calm myself trying to wait for Ara's response. I want Ara for myself but know that us being together as a real couple is impossible. I let out a breath of relief when I don't hear the same feeling reciprocated. A bit of hope springs in my chest. I enter the house and round the corner, then I see her in his arms. Heat rushes through my body. Jealousy burns every cell of mine, especially when I realize, despite how much I want to deny it, that they look perfect together.I don't want to admit it, but my rational mind reminds me once again that she would be better off living her remaining days with him in the human wor
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 47 Give It Another Chance
-Arabella-Three days later I am settled in a safehouse in Savannah. I am not able to leave or contact anyone until the head security guard gets a message from Ronan that it is okay for me to see my sister. I am enjoying the little bit of fresh air that Ronan's security team allows me at the safehouse. When I was on the flight back to the States, this is not at all what I imagined my situation would be. It's not ideal losing my freedom, but for the time being, at least I know that my baby and I are safe. Trying to stay positive, I take in the beauty that surrounds me. The sky is a deep, vibrant blue, and the sun radiates with a warmth that promises a beautiful day ahead. The trees rustle slightly in the breeze, and I feel a sense of peace that I haven't felt in a long time. I look out further and can see the Savannah River, which glimmers in the sunlight. Despite the uncertainty of my current situation, I'm grateful for the beauty that Mother Nature has given me. "Ara!"Suddenly,
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 46 The Wedding Is Off
-Arabella-It is a red eye flight from London to Savannah. I am the only passenger, of course; the private aircraft feels way too big than when we all flew to London together, even though it's the same plane. The city lights below me start to get farther away. I lean back against the plush comfort of one of the seats, or the spacious beds to be precious, and finally get the chance to process everything that has occurred.I was abducted by one of the Stewart brothers, and saved and freed by another. Too many things have happened. The past few months of my life feels longer than the twenty some years I lived before. Fate seems to like to play tricks on me. Growing up, I've been taught that vampires are worthless, they are nothing but lazy, filthy leeches. Yet, when no one else in the human society spared me or my family a single drop of pity, it was vampires who offered me a contract that paid off our debt.I spent the better part of my life looking down upon the blood monsters until
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 45: The Wedding Is Off
-Ronan-I am getting ready to put an end to a long day of work. All I want to do is relax and spend time with Ara. I put my watch on my wrist, feeling the reassuring presence of the gemstone inside. Human emotions are strange, I think as I feel the smooth surface of the watch.I feel the kaleidoscoping changes in Ara's emotions. She goes from feelings of sadness to excitement. I like the feeling her excitement gives me, and realize it is because she is coming to see me. A small smile crosses my face as I put a quick end to my workday and started to hurry to the restaurant.But then her emotions drastically change again, and this time they are filled with fear. I feel her panic, sending a horrible chill through my own system that I'm not there with her. Two faces come to mind. Only Desmond and Stella could be responsible. My cell phone rings. It's my driver."What happened?""I'm so sorry, Mr. Stewart. They blocked the road, there were two vans...""Where is Ara?" I interrupt him. "T
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 44: Date Night
-Arabella-We lay in the dark, my head on the pillows, Grace's on my shoulder. I stare out the window looking at the twinkling stars of London as we reminisce about our hometown of Savannah, Georgia. Our conversation always centers around Dad and all the wonderful things he did for us even though he was a busy man, working hard to support the family and our mother's spending habits. From the corner of my eye, I can see Grace's face light up.Suddenly, something occurs to her. "You know, I always wondered how Daddy and Mother ever fell in love with each other."I laugh softly in the dark. "They must have been different people back then. People have a tendency to change over time."My thoughts ebb away, and I am taken back to a time when Dad was still with us. I remember the summers we spent in the garden, with him teaching us how to grow vegetables and herbs. I remember the days spent running around the woods, climbing trees, and building forts. I remember the
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 43 Tell Her How I Feel
-Ronan-I was elated all throughout the flight, only to return to chaos unfolding at the manor. What the hell is Stella doing here, anyway? And why is she holding Ara like this? "Let her go," I say in a low voice, trying to contain the anger surging through me.Stella's hand is still pulling at Ara's hair, though the two are no longer struggling, as if my presence has frozen them in place."And please explain what the hell you're doing here, attacking my attendant." "Desmond texted to tell you we were coming," Stella says, slowly removing her hand from Ara's hair.Ara pulls away immediately and runs off in the direction of my room. I want to run after her so badly, but I have to deal with Stella first. I take it she hasn't seen Ara's sister yet, because that would have been the first thing she said once I barged in on them. "She was being insolent again," Stella says. She's still heaving, as if whatever had gone on between her and Ara before I arrive
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 42 All of You Will Die
-Arabella-"Mr. Stewart has given me clear instructions not to let anyone besides his attendant in his room. If you'd like, I can set you up in another bedroom," Julia says in a stoic voice. "He doesn't want to be disturbed." I can tell she's trying very hard not to snap, with her shoulders all tensed up. I've never seen Stella act so viciously toward another vampire, but I guess she's used to having servants and others scramble to please her all the time, and she's not happy with Julia's reticence to do as she wants. Stella's head snaps in Julia's direction, and she takes a few quick steps toward her.Without stopping, she slaps the woman's cheek so hard that Julia stumbles and almost falls over. If it weren't for the mahogany table in the center of the foyer, she would have landed on the floor.She stares at Stella with her mouth hanging open. "I am going to be your mistress, and the first thing I'm going to do once I run this manor is to fire you if you ca
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 41 You Really Do Love Her
-Ronan-"What do you mean?" I ask Carlota.She gestures for me to follow her to another courtyard, one that is slightly elevated and has an amazing view of the enormous forest surrounding her compound.I was planning on leaving, but it seems she's not done with the conversation yet. "I spend most of my time around humans lately, for obvious reasons," she continues, leaning on the balcony and looking out at the horizon. "As vampires, we've never taken love or feelings too seriously because we take life for granted. We know we have years, decades, ages. Humans don't have that luxury, so each moment shared with their loved ones is immensely more important and valuable."I'm not too sure where she's going with this, but it's making me feel…uncomfortable."If you love someone else, don't marry Stella," she says after a pause, point-blank. "I can't drop all the responsibilities I have toward my family," I counter. I came to ask her for help figuring out Ste
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 40 He Doesn't Deserve You
-Arabella-"I'm not a child," Grace says to Gabriel, crossing her arms. "I turn eighteen in two months.""I meant no disrespect." Gabriel bows his head and smiles at her.?Grace flinches slightly at the sight of his fangs, but keeps her composure and turns back to me.?"Did you really not know I was coming? I thought you asked your vampire to set this up. A travel agency called me, and they had first class tickets and everything set up," she says.?"No, I didn't. It must have been Ronan." Unexpectedly, her words make my heart ache.?Ronan isn't MY vampire. He can't be.?Moreover, those guys who have been threatening me wouldn't organize a trip for Grace, would they??The only thing that makes sense is that Ronan wanted to get her somewhere safe, and that meant bringing her to me.This is also an outright violation of the attendant agency rules, and it warms my heart to think that Ronan would go to such lengths to help my little sister.?"How is M
