My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 38 We Might Have a Way Out
-Arabella-Ronan is gone for three seemingly endless days before he calls Gabriel to tell him that he wants us at the manor in the afternoon. It's lunchtime, and the three of us are out on the patio. I've been an anxious mess these past few days, and they keep trying to cheer me up by telling me stories about the early days of their romance. "I think I realized I was in love with him when I started to like cleaning his house," Jay says, sipping on some juice. "Like, it was my task as an attendant, but I enjoyed seeing his face light up when he came home and found everything clean and orderly.""And all these years you had me thinking that it was my butt you liked," Gabriel says, pretending to look offended. "It's a decent butt." Jay shrugs, and Gabriel throws a balled-up napkin at him. "But what I liked was seeing you happy." Even though I enjoy hearing their stories, the affection they have for each other tugs at my heart. I miss Ronan, and the more I think
My Vampire Master: A Contract of Blood and Lust Chapter 39 So You Are in Love
-Ronan-I've spent the past two days in Rome, making calls and talking to old acquaintances. Italian vampires are part of the underworld of the underworld, and they know pretty much everyone's business.My Italian contacts don't seem to know much about Desmond's latest antics, though they make it clear that his existence is only tolerated because he's Carlota's husband. And regardless of what the rest of the vampire world thinks, Carlota is still like royalty to them. She reigns supreme in Italy, so I know she'll be able to get more information than I could possibly hope to obtain. There's also a small chance that I'm wrong about Desmond and Stella plotting together. However, I don't have any enemies except possibly my brother and my future wife. Carlota lives two hours away from Rome in a small castle that's surrounded by armed guards around the clock. I've only been here once, ages ago, before her wedding to Desmond. She's made this place her fortress, where sh
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
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 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 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 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 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 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
