Dante's POV I smiled closing the camera app on my phone watching him excitedly wait for me at the top of the stairs was funny and attractive. I walked into the house and stood at the bottom of the stairs staring at him at the top. He was grinning at me. I couldn't help myself and sped up the stairs. One second we were multiple flights of stairs apart and another he was in my arms. I was gentle so I didn't hurt his arm cradling him in my arm, pulling him into a hug. "I missed you." whispered into my neck clinging to me. "I wasn't even for two days" I joked and he just mumbled holding me. I smiled pulling him even closer. I pulled away and placed my forehead against his. "I missed you too" I whispered and kissed him softly. I cradled his face in my arm softly. "I kept thinking of you," I said truthfully leaning in to kiss him again. He had a look in his eyes. It was a look of pure adoration and I knew if I could see my face, it mirrored the same look. H
Christopher povI opened my eyes in the dark room and looked to my side. Dante wasn't in bed. He had left was it morning yet? It would have been nice to wake up next to him. I checked the time and it was just some minutes past 2am. Why did he leave? He'd been acting strangely of late and he had never left me in bed and disappeared to his room. Was he there? I stood up and walked naked out of my room. There was nobody in the house aside from me and Dante. That was if he was in the house. A thought crossed my mind. What if he'd gone to Andre's to feed? I mean he bit me but didn't drink. So maybe he'd gone to feed but why didn't he tell me? I stood outside my door. Maybe he didn't want to wake me. Or maybe he was tired of dealing with me and wanted to taste something different. Something like Athena. The voice was back again. No, he would never. He loves..... The voice mocked me. "Are you sure he loves you, has he ever told you? Or did you assume you
Dante's POV I should have realized he was having these feelings earlier on. I shouldn't have let things go this far. I had woken up and went to the crypt to feed my guest so he would stay alive. Kerion had found a human and kept them in a room for me. I couldn't let the human stay on the grounds overnight so I had to leave my bed with Christopher to get it done with.I had slit the human's wrist slightly and let a few drops of blood get into the boy's mouth before sending them off with Kerion who was going to see to it that they went home safe and their memory was wiped and finishing up with the guest. I had to go shower before I could get back in bed with Christopher. I couldn't tell him about the guest yet. I would be even more careful with everything. The most important person to me was him and keeping him safe for myself was more important to me than anything else.Now at least he knew how I felt about him. That would help clear his doubts. We woke up in the morning tangled
Ashley's POV I couldn't help but bite my smile. He had asked his driver to take me shopping. Just like those rich men did to women they were interested in. He'd given his card to his driver because he didn't trust me yet which was fair. I mean when you want to take a woman shopping you first of all hold the card but after she proves that she's the type of girl you want you give her the card. It was a black card. It was limitless. It was a test. He was into me and wanted to test me so he gave me the card to see if I could pass. Now with rich men especially men like Dante, you'd think that not spending his money was what he wanted but it was the exact opposite. He wanted you to spend his money. He wasn't interested in how much you spent but with what you spent it on. I needed to make good purchases. If I picked a good restaurant and bought things that were up to his standard he would show more interest in me. Rich men wanted good trophies wives. Wives that could hold their own in
Christopher's POV“Chris, I don't want to sound weird, but I think your boss likes me” Ashley spouted out of nowhere while dressing my wound. I did my best not to burst out laughing. “And why would that be?” I asked her “Well, he's just been really, how do I put it? Attentive” she said as started wrapping up the wound. “Hmm, I don't know. He's a pretty nice guy so maybe that's it” I said looking at her. “You won't understand. You're a man. You don't get it. She has the look” she insisted and I just nodded along. The bandage around my chest was coming out today. It wound had closed up nicely and I was better now. I couldn't wait to dunk into the water. I looked down at the pale patch of hairless skin on my chest. I'm shaving my whole chest off to match. It wasn't that I was hair it was that the contrast between the colors made it look very weird. I heard a knock on the door and looked up. It was Kerion. “The Sire is asking for you, Miss” Kerion spoke to Ashley. “Oh ok, I'll
Dante's POV I tried my best for Ashley and me not to cross parts aside from when I was getting rid of her but she was beginning to pop up in my office to ask me random questions about Christopher that she could ask him. She was also trying to get me to spend time with her like inviting me to different random outings that I had to reject. Today, she rejected the card her excuse she had packed lunch. She wanted to spend more time with me. It was obvious and also really embarrassing. Her thoughts also didn't help. I could read them and they were very disturbing I found them funny. She was going to make lunch for me. She'd packed extra so she was going come hand them over to me in my office and then wait for me to react to them and strike up a conversation with me because in her words. “I was too busy to take her on a proper date and need her to nudge me a little bit”She was fully convinced that I was in love with her or at least into her. Well, I was going to have to beat her to
Ashley's POV It's been a week since the afternoon lunch with Dante, I wasn't able to see him again. He was avoiding me. I knew we had a connection. There was so much chemistry while we were cooking. I mean we even had a moment to get her over sharing food then Chris had gone and interrupted the moment with jealous outbursts. Even he had seen our chemistry together. Chris who didn't believe Dante liked me had seen just how good we were together. That proved I hadn't imagined things. I was right. Dante liked me but he had backed off. He was the kind of guy that didn't like to chase. In his mind, he's done enough chasing and it was my turn to compliment that effort. To be fair, he had done enough chasing. The card, the nice words, giving me his personal driver, letting me go shopping with his money, and to crow it all the very intimate cooking time with him in the presence of my boyfriend. What else did I want him to do to prove to me that he wanted me? It was my turn to make the
Christopher povAshley walked into my room with tears in her eyes. She closed the door behind her and I stopped what I was doing“What's wrong Ash?” I asked her concerned. She burst into tears and ran into my arms “I'm so sorry” she cried shaking. “What's wrong?” I asked her. “I should have said yes. You might lose your job” she sobbedWhat?That didn't even make sense. “Said yes to what? How does that affect my job?” I asked her even more confused now than ever. “I..” she started but started sobbing again. “What's wrong, Ash” I pulled her away and asked “Tell me, I won't be mad,” I said even though I didn't even know what she meant. I mean what would she do that could make me mad? “Dante” she burst out again crying. Dante?Did he tell her to break up with me? I mean he wouldn't though. What did he say to the poor girl? “What did he say,” I asked stroking her hair. “Do” she cried again sobbing more. Do? Did the Fucking vampire threaten her. Oh god, Dante. I mean let me
Christopher's POV I opened my eyes to see my stuff packed up into boxes and Dante sitting beside my bed. "Hey" and mumbled out rubbing my eyes as I tried to figure out what was going on. When my brain finally registered the packed bags I turned to Dante with a confused look on my face. "What is going on" I asked pointing to the backed bags. "Hey Sunshine, I'm sorry about that. I decided to plan a trip for when you wake up to cheer you up" he said leaning in to kiss me on the forehead. "wait whaT?" I asked in a mixture of shock and happiness. "I have everything planned out so you don't have to even lift a finger" he leaned down and kissed me again. "Just come and let me take care of you" he said and he nodded. Why not I mean I just broke up with my girlfriend of years. Plus it was vacation with Dante. it was special already because of that and we weren't going under covers and fake IDs or work ID right? Just two guys who like each other having fun together
Dantes pov I pulled him into a hug as he sobbed mourning the end of their relationship. I expected her to break but not this fast. The death of her father must have speedrailed it faster than I thought. The win still tasted as spectacular as I expected. I just had to make sure I helped him through whatever feelings he was having. He was mine forever and I planned to savour that. For as long as I could. “I should have known” he cried into my shoulder and I stroked his hair. “You cared for her. There was no way of knowing” I whispered against his hair. “But I should have known. I mean she was using. She killed our child using and it took me this to get it to Fucking settle” he was blaming himself somehow as I had expected. “You are not an all-knowing human. There was no way for you to expect someone you've loved for years to become someone you couldn't recognize” I wasn't letting him get eaten up by guilt that wasn't his to bear. “But …” he started to speak and I pulled
Ashley's pov I was home in my room on my bed. How did that happen? I remembered passing out but that was about it. My clothes were not touched and I didn't feel any type of way. Who had brought me home? Kerion? I knew he had feelings for me and he'd probably followed me to make sure I was alright, saw me passed out, and then took me home. That was really kind of him. I stood up from my bed and stumbled into the kitchen. It was a mess. Had he tried to make something for me? I opened the cupboard and pulled out my tin of pills. I popped a few into my hand. My head was pounding. I took them all using a bottle of water to chase them. There were bottles of empty beer on the floor. What did he do in my house? did he drink all night worried I would not wake up. And then leave when his wife called him and threatened him to come home? Poor man. What a fool I smiled as the drugs set in. I would use him to destroy Dante's life. I searched
Christopher's POV He kissed me and then pulled away and smiled at me. "You taste as delicious as ever" he spoke through the phone before bringing it down and cutting the call. He placed his phone down and took mine from my hand while maintaining eye contact with me. He cupped the back of my head pulling on my hair so my neck was exposed. He sucked on my neck and I moaned. "I missed you so much" he moaned into my neck and I rolled my eyes. "We just came back from a sex-crazed stay at a hotel and we had crazy people sex," I said and he looked up from my neck fucking pouting. "I can't help it. You are addictive" he whined against me. I mean this ancient vampire of a man whined. Now he looked cute but it was funny to see a grown "evil vampire" pout about me being addictive "how addictive am I?" I asked and he smiled kissing me as he unbuttoned my shirt. "So damn addictive I find myself craving you every second of the day" he whispered into my ear and then k
Dante's POV I tried not to laugh after her as she almost ran out of my office. The feeling of victory was not only glorious but very welcomed. I knew he was her father the moment I caught his scent when he was following us after our hospital visit. I also knew he was taking pictures almost immediately. So I decided to bait him. I did almost risque poses with Christopher that could be a show of affection but it could also pass as something entirely different. Letting him follow us all day. I baited him to the store I chose and kissed Christopher just outside the door that it was a partial picture. I walked in with him and kissed Christopher again so he would try to come in to take his picture again. That was when I then took Christopher to the VIP room. Giving instructions to the staff to hold him wasn't Difficult and immediately they did, I went back created a diversion of sorts, and went out to him I questioned him, took the pictures and cameras from him
Ashley's POV I tried his number one more time and It didn't go through. Where was he? I called him again and it went to voicemail "Dad, where the fuck are you?" I shouted and then tossed my phone on the bed. Something was wrong. I could feel it in my bones. I didn't know what it was. I got a text from Kerion a few days ago asking me not to come over as Dante and Chris weren't home and we're going to get his cast removed. I tried to call him but he didn't answer my call but that was fair. I mean he probably was with his wife and couldn't have her suspecting us. It didn't make it better but it was understandable. My dad though. There was something wrong. After I had received the text from Kerion, I told my dad about it and he decided to follow them I told him to just get pictures of them together for me. I was going to use them to blackmail Dante and then destroy them and split the money with my dad. It was my way of showing Dante that I knew his game a
Christopher's POV I smiled putting on the first suit. I walked out and stood in front of Dante looking awkward. "What do you think? I asked him standing in front of him. He gestured me to turn and I did. I felt him behind me pressed against my back and his arms wrapped around my waist. "you look good in this" he smiled kissing me on the back of my neck. I smiled and turned wrapping my hands around his neck. I felt his hard dick pressed against me. "You are one horny sleaze bag," I said pressing against him and he smiled grazing his thumb on my lips and looking at me with those eyes that screamed sex. "if you keep staring at me that way I'll have no option but to bend you over right now and have my way with you" he smiled down and me and then bent down to kiss me. My stomach pitted and warm heat traveled to my groin. He slipped his tongue in my mouth and then pulled away but not before drawing on my lips with his teeth. I licked his lips and looked down at
Dante's POV "Hey sleepy head wake up" Christopher kissed me on the forehead and I opened my eyes. I wasn't sleeping but I wanted him to enjoy the experience of waking a partner up so I let him believe that I was. I smiled pulled him down on me and kissed him. He smiled and straddled me placing his forehead against mine. "So what are you up to today" he asked smiling as he kissed me on the lips again. "We are going to get the cast off remember," I said and he nodded with a sigh. "I don't like hospitals" he mumbled. Well if he didn't like hospitals I could get a doctor to come see him and get it off in the house. It would even be better. That way he didn't have to go out and put himself in the line of danger. I reached for my phone but he slapped my hand. "I knew you'd do something crazy like Fucking order a doctor to the house. I just don't like the hospital. It doesn't mean I hate it or I'm repulsed by it. It sure as hell doesn't mean I want you ordering a
Ashley's POV Tim was driving me home. I refused but he practically forced me into the car and drove me to my apartment. I couldn't say a word and let him drop me off. Dante probably told him to not take me to Chris's place so now I was back to my own house. I sighed and made my way up and into my room hiding from all the people I was owing. I got paid but I didn't want to use the money to pay for my old debts. I just wanted to buy new stuff. I had an image to uphold and I needed to look the part. I wasn't the hottest girl in nursing school for no reason. I was practically a goddess around here. I sighed and sat in front of my vanity staring at myself in the mirror. Why did Dante have to be Fucking gay? He could have been my ticket to the life I deserve. We would have been perfect together. Him that rich billionaire husband and me the perfect trophy wife. I had done my research about him and he was seeing a mystery woman at one point. Was that true or
