Chris' POV It was Monday. The day I'd been dreading. I'd spent the weekend antagonizing myself. I'd lie to Ashley to avoid her. I told her I had an important test coming up and I needed to read so she wouldn't come over. She didn't really trust what I said but she agreed to let me have my space to read. I knew it was only a matter of time but I felt immense guilt. I'd let a man kiss me, I'd let a man blow me. Not just any man but my boss. The all mighty powerful Dante Abyss. I couldn't believe it. I'd been the one to kiss him even. Well, I'd had so much to drink. I wouldn't do this sober. He probably wouldn't too. Alcohol and everything just made us weaker and looser. The image of his mouth on my dick flashed in my mind, and my pants stirred. I immediately schooled my brain. I needed to get my life sorted fast before I ruined it. I put on a casual loose sweater and some beige pants, combed my hair, and put on my glasses. I grabbed my bag and walked out of my apartment
Dante's pov As he got into my car I smelt someone on him. A woman. I felt the rage build in me. His girlfriend. What was her name again? Ashley. He hadn't broken up with her. Did he think this was a once in a lifetime occurrence? Did he think he'd pretend to forget and I'd let him off the hook. Well he was thinking wrong. I was a vampire. A beast of desire. I didn't care for human rules. I didn't care for human desires. He was mine and I'd have him. I planned on being subtle but he seemed to not be getting the point fast enough so I decided to amp the charm. I'd make sure he didn't go back home to her. I'd woo him over like I didn't my men and women. It was time to haunt like the predator I was. I leaned into his neck. He stiffened. I sniffed his neck. “You smell different” I smiled at him and he gulped. I rubbed my nose at his nape and then licked the place, skirting my tongue on his pulse feeling the warmth on my tongue. I could almost taste him. He gasped out loud clut
Christopher’s POV It was late when I finished typing and I couldn't go home late at night. Dante had gone for a meeting and was yet to come back. He had just popped his head into my office and said he was going to a meeting and that he'd order dinner for me if I wasn't done yet and asked me to text him what I wanted to eat He'd then texted me mid my working and told me he'd ordered dinner for me. I'd protested but I seemed to notice that protest didn't work with Dante. It was better to let him do what he wanted to with his money. The food came ten minutes later with a note that said Eat well for me Sunshine I'd spent a long time thinking about what had happened so I couldn't focus on working, which made me finish up late. I decided to go take a break in the jacuzzi since no one was around and I needed to clear my head. I turned off the light but left the jacuzzi light running set at blue, so the whole room was dark save for the mild blue light emanating in front of th
Dante's POVI waved some takeaway plates in front of him. He looked like a nerdy deer caught in front of a headlight. I loved distracted Christopher as much as I loved focused Christopher. As I learnt different parts of him, I couldn't help but enjoy all those parts. Last night, I met freaky Christopher, or at least saw him. When I entered the movie room, I knew he was there. I heard his panic in the corner, his thoughts basically harassing me. When he'd decided not to come out from where he stood, I'd decided to pretend I didn't know he was there. I faced him because come on. I'm a Cruel man. I wouldn't miss the opportunity to stress him out. I wanted him to wonder if I could see him or not. His thoughts had surprised me though. The way he longed. His desire was heavy in the air. So I decided to give him a show. Make the night a little fun. It started as a show for him but it was the best hand job I'd ever given myself in my centuries of life. The way his breath had hitched, his
Christopher's povAs I listened to the professor blab on my brain was tuned out. I'd already been taught what he was teaching now by Alvin. Alvin's method was genius and honestly more efficient. I was thinking about my dinner later this evening with Dante. My class ended in an hour and he'd come pick me up and then we'll go buy clothes for the dinner. He kept trying to convince me that the dinner wasn't a big deal, but deep down, I knew I needed to be impressive. I'd slept at his place last night because I was too busy trying to finish up my work so I'd be free today. He'd driven me home himself early this morning to get my stuff for school. I'd dressed at his place and then drove up after telling me to be ready for pickup at a particular time. As the class ended, I began to walk outside when my professor called to me. “Christopher, can you stay behind?”“Christopher, you've been distracted lately” my professor explained with concern as the hall emptied. “I….” I stuttered not k
Dante's pov We were in the car driving to the dinner. I could sense Christopher's nerves. He looked perfectly fine. You would never tell if you didn't know what to look for, but if you didn't, you'd notice him slightly tapping his feet. I wanted him to calm down so I extended my arm over and held his hand. His palm was sweaty, another sign. I held it all the way to the dinner as he calmed down. When we got there, he took a deep breath and I extended my hands to him. “You can hold me., I said and he shook his head. “I'll be fine”I was a little disappointed. I wanted him to hold my hands but I understood why he wouldn't want to. We came on time. I wasn't a fan of lateness and if I walked in there and they weren't waiting already, that'd count against them. We walked to the assigned table and they were already waiting for us. They stood up as I walked with Christopher. He looked fine. Anyone seeing him wouldn't even notice how desperate he wanted to please me. How much he wanted
Christopher's POV I leaned against the door and took a deep breath. I needed to collect myself before I walked into the house.The kissI don't know how I looked, but I knew I looked like someone whose world was blown away. Dante was a drug and I was getting addicted. I took more deep breaths, grounding myself and waiting for my hard-on to disappear.After a while I steadied myself, smoothing my hoodie and using my key to open the door. I walked in to see my mom and Ashley in my kitchen making dinner.“Oh, hi honey,” my mom walked to me and hugged me. “Hi mum, what're you doing here?” I asked, looking at the two of them. “Oh, nothing; I was just passing by and decided to come to check in on my baby boy,” she waved to me, walking back to the kitchen area. Ashley walked to me, wrapped her arm around me, and leaned to kiss me. I pulled her into a hug. I couldn't do it. I didn't want her kissing away Dante from my lips. I know I'm crazy, you don't need to tell me. She noticed it
Dante's povThe moment he entered the car, I knew something was off. He seemed distant. He didn't want to talk to me and I knew it was probably because of his last night. I read his thoughts and he was telling himself to get self control and act right. I'd planned to take him for breakfast so I asked him. “Hey have you had breakfast” looking over at him while driving. “Yes, I've had breakfast and I brought my packed lunch so I don't need it thank you” His answer was short and very hostile. He didn't need to respond that way but I understood. I'd let it slide. Once we got home, he got out and rushed to the office. I chuckled in my car. If only the sweet boy knew. I am a predator. I love to chase. This! Whatever it was only made me even more happy. I already had him baited; he was just struggling and I knew just how to keep him as mine. ………As I worked in my office at home, trying to finish up going through the contract Theo had sent over for the Camila investments, I thought
Christopher's POV I tried not to lose my mind or get paranoid. I waited for him to leave the house before walking out of the room. He'd done something to me. I knew that. I'd fallen asleep and I knew it had something to do with him telling me to sleep. It was a spell of some sort. I didn't know how to feel about it. On the one hand, I needed sleep, and this was a much-needed rest, but on the other hand, he'd violated my bodily autonomy. He'd made me fall asleep without my consent and that wasn't something I was happy with. I needed it though. To remind me of the kind of person he was. or the kind of monster he was. Well, there was nothing I could do. I wasn't dead yet, so all I could do was keep my guard up and hope. The house was empty but it looked so well taken care of. I walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge and pantry. It was well stocked. I picked up an apple and bit into it. I heard the front door open and footsteps. He walked into the kitchen and smiled
Dante's POV I sat in the back seat of the car waiting for him to come out of his faculty. I would have gone to bring him myself, but his annoyed text this morning told me to stay in my car and wait if I wanted him to come with me. I smiled, remembering his response this morning after I texted to tell him not to worry about packing his clothes, as I had Kerion pack his clothes at my house for the trip. He had responded with a middle finger and hadn't said anything else only sending me his class schedule for the day after I asked him when would be right to pick him up. When I texted him that I was in his school and was coming to pick him up. He'd responded with a hasty text telling me to stay in my car and he'd come meet me. Of course, I was curious and wanted to see why he was trying to hide me, but I more than ever wanted him to be happy and comfortable enough to be mine forever, so I let him win this one. Plus, if he spent too much time around someone or if he smelt
Christophers POV "Hey guys, it's time to let him be" his voice cut through the crowd of staff I was talking to. They scurried away and he walked to me. "Hey, Sunshine." he smiled that devilish, annoying smile, and it infuriated me. "Don't call me that," I chided him, walking away, and he just chuckled, causing my brain to grate more. How dare he? He knew that I didn't want to be known as his fuck body or some person that has slept their way to be with him, but he kept doing it. The members of staff who heard him would probably think I had gotten my position bent over. I'd worked hard for this position. I was risking my life for this position and I'd never let him make all my hard work and dedication be tied to his dick. I don't care if he's Count Dracula himself. I got back to the car and took my position in the back seat before Dante and Alvin. They came in and I kept silent till we got to the office and I got back to work. ......... A few days later
Dante's POV The meeting was over, and everyone was flocking to Christopher. I stood in the background watching them as they fawned over him. They kept asking him questions about himself. He was the first human most of them had real proximity to apart from feeding and occasionally work meets. Vampires, though social creatures, like to keep to themselves for many reasons, with privacy as one of them, so most of us rarely interact with humans socially, especially younger vampires. Lucien had stormed off immediately after the meeting. He still wasn't a fan of the human but I couldn't force him to become one. For someone who's lived in seclusion apart from humans, I could understand why. I smiled as Christopher tried his best to hide his very obvious nervousness around them. He was really brave. For someone who had just learned his boss was a blood-sucking monster and his coworkers were monsters, too, he was doing his best to be calm about it. His thoughts, though,
Chris's POV I stormed upstairs to go shower as embarrassment filled me. I shut the door to my room. I thought Alvin wasn't a vampire. Did I miss that? How did he notice that I smelt of garlic too? Was the smell making them uncomfortable? I stripped and walked into the shower to wash the smell off. Maybe I was wrong in my assessment and maybe Alvin was a vampire too. I had to wash so they didn't suspect that I knew, but at least it had helped me figure out that Alvin and Dante were both vampires. But then Tim didn't say anything about the smell and I could have sworn he was a vampire. If the smell had made Dante and Alvin uncomfortable then why hadn't it done the same to Tim? I dried my body and walked to the room the get changed. I picked up my old discarded clothes and sniffed it. It smelt strongly on rank garlic. I didn't know it smelt this bad. I layered it on so my nose got used to the smell and now after showering and being away from these clothes, I could sme
Dante's POV It was Monday already, and Tim was on his way to pick him up. He hadn't gone anywhere and spent most of his weekend in his house with his druggie girlfriend. Did he tell her about what he saw? I wanted to know. I'd just have to wait and see how everything goes. I don't think he did, though; he didn't seem like he would. I wanted to pick him up myself but decided against it so he could gather himself. I mean, we were supposed to still be angry with each other, and I wanted him to think about how he wanted to act and get his act together. Tim pulled into my driveway, and he got down from the car, leaving Tin to go park the car. I watched him from my office window as he took in a deep breath before walking to the door. I heard him knock, and Kerion opened the door for him. Then his footsteps began to walk down the hallway to his office. I waited till he was settled in before making my move. I popped my head into his office. The office reaked of garlic.
Chris's pov "Holy shit," I set my phone back on my nightstand after sending a text to Tim, Dante, and Alvin about my missing work. I lied to them, but I mean, what was I supposed to do? Go there without a definite plan and let my vampire boss know I know he's a vampire?I can't believe it still. If I had drank even a sip of alcohol last night, I'd have blamed it on it, but I hadn't. I'd gone to his place very sober, so I knew it wasn't an illusion and I wasn't imagining things. I came back home shaking and had knocked myself out with some sleeping gummies so I didn't have to think too much about it. Now I was awake, and I knew I had to face it head-on. Alvin had sent me a text telling me to take my time and get well. I'd lied to him that I had food poisoning from a bad takeout I ate. I mean I had to lie. I couldn't just say. Hey, so our boss is a vampire and I saw him drinking from a random woman last night. Wait, if vampires existed, I knew that there was no way in hell Dante
Dante's POV I stepped away from the human and hypnotized them to fall asleep. I took out my phone and texted Kerion to come take the person away and walked up to my room to shower. I didn't need her. The only reason I'd brought her home with me was him. When I got into the car from the airport, it smelled of him, and I couldn't help but feel hungry. It was a hunger for him but I stopped by Andre's and picked up a human to get the edge off. Drink away that nagging feeling. Imagine my surprise when he came to my house to look for me. I smiled as the water washed down my body. I couldn't help it. He'd seen me. He'd seen me drink from a human and I let him. I knew when he got to my house, I sensed him, and I could have pulled away or hidden the human, but I let him come. Maybe something in me wanted him to see me as I was and he had. From his thoughts, he wanted to be with me; he liked me. Maybe I should have just hidden the human and pretended but I wanted him to kno
Chris' POV It's been days since he stormed off. He went on a business trip and has not yet come back. He was coming back today and I felt a sense of dread wash over me. I missed him. I didn't know why, but his being gone for those number of days made me paranoid. At first, I thought I was going to be fine. I thought it was great he was ignoring me, but then I started to lose my shit. I kept pacing about worrying about him. I think I pushed him this time. He's never been this angry with me since I met him. I felt awful. I realized that even if we didn't have a sexual relationship, I'd come to see him as a friend and I hated the way we were. There wasn't a way to fix things, though, or at least I thought so. He was hurt. I didn't want to fix things. Or did I? I didn't know. I was so confused. For one, I know It's wrong to be with him, but I still somehow wanted to. I was being stubborn. I needed to ground myself and figure myself out. He was coming back this
