Dante's pov “Lucien, I need you to do something for me.” I sat on my office chair and looked up at him. I knew he was irritated that I had employed a human knowing the risks it brought. I had stayed back before the meeting to ensure I gave him a heads-up. Yes, he could smell the human, but he thought they were some partner of sorts. I didn't want him to be ambushed. The first question he asked was if Christopher knew we were vampires. I told him no and he felt relief He'd been very skeptical and skittish but receptive to Christopher. Now I was about to ask him the biggest favor of all time. “What's it, sire?” asked. “Could you help me look after the human? He's a new addition to the team and I want him protected.” He looked at me, visibly taken aback. “Why me, there could be anyone. I mean he's human any average vampire could be a good enough protection so why did I need to protect him” He asked, making a good point. I couldn't admit my selfish reasons though. “W
Christopher's POV It was almost afternoon and I had just finished my classes for the day. I walked out and got a text from Tim telling me he was waiting for me in the parking lot. I was disappointed. I was hoping Dante would pick me up himself. But Tim was here instead. I entered the car and hid my disappointment. “Can we stop at a Chick-fil-A drive-through to get breakfast?” I told him and he nodded at me. We got breakfast and drove to the house. …….. When we got there. I tried to look for Dante subtly. I couldn't find Dante, so I settled in and had my breakfast. Soon after, Alvin arrived, and we got busy. I tried not to think of Dante. I mean we weren't anything. We were just people who found each other attractive. I sank into my work forgetting he existed. Hours later there was a knock on the door connecting both our offices. Alvin and I looked up to see Dante had stuck his head into our office. “Hey Boss man” Alvin grinned at him. “Hey Alvin, keeping busy, I s
Dante's povHe clenched under me moaning and trying to muffle his cries. I sucked on his balls, leaving his dick unattended. He was leaking in precum all over himself. He was so close I could tell from the way he was shaking and vibrating under me. He reached his hand to touch himself but I caught it. “No touching sunshine, you're going to come from your ass alone” I pulled his hand to his back pinning it there as I continued to rub his prostrate. “Please, Dante, please,” he moaned softly, trying to get any friction he could. I increased the pressure and speed, and he began to moan, bucking under my hand. His ass chasing my fingers with each thrust. I felt his ass clench, and he stiffen as he began to cum. I didn't stop continuing to stroke him as he came hard spilling over my desk. I continued to milk his prostate until I'd milked every last drop. He couldn't steady himself so I had to hold him so he did slip down the floor. I slowly removed my finger from his ass, and he cl
Christopher's pov I got into my house and waited for her. She should be here any moment now. I decided to order takeout for us to have dinner. I placed an order for Indian food and waited There was a knock on my door. I walked to it and opened the door for her to walk in. "Hey baby" she kissed me and walked inside. She was in a good mood. "Babe, I've got new" she grinned. "I just came back from a meeting with the dean. He said that I could graduate with the others if I made up for it on time." She smiled at me excitedly. "I went to him with the information and my text exchange with Ashley when I told her to cover for me, and she agreed, and he's agreed to let me redo the month I missed." She grinned at me. "oh my god, babe, that's great news." I pulled her into a hug, spinning her around. We kissed and then the intercom buzzed. My takeout was here. I buzzed the guy in and turned back to her. "I ordered take out for us, I got Indian I got mild the way you like it" "I don
Dante's POV I pulled up into my driveway and he got out of the car. I drove to park it in my garage. He was so cute when he blushed. If I was being honest I didn't know when I kissed him. I couldn't call it jealousy. I wasn't jealous of the girl I didn't think she was worth my jealousy. To me, Christopher was mine already, so I saw her as a pesky pest. Why was she lying to him, and more importantly, why was he so ready to believe those lies? There was no way her dean would let her graduate after missing classes unless she pulled some strings, and from what I saw. I think she may have called in favors. The question was who did she call and how dangerous was the favor? I didn't care for her but I needed to know so I could protect Christopher from whatever repercussions that came with being attached to her. Just then my phone rang. I checked the caller ID and it was Andre. Just the person I was looking for. "Hey man" he called from the other side in a cheery tone. "H
Christopher's POV I sat in my office bored. Alvin had already gone for the day, and I was all alone in the house except for Kerion and his wife, who I rarely saw. Dante had gone on a last-minute business trip, and so the house was empty. I didn't know I'd miss him until I did. He was not going to be back till next tomorrow, and that was the day of the gala, so I wouldn't be seeing him till then. I was so nervous about that too. I'd researched the gala and It was a big deal. A huge deal. Dante had told me it was just a fundraiser, but it was much more than that. It was like a party for all the super-rich people around the New York area and even super-rich people outside. They hosted it to show off wealth and network. If Dante hadn't told me that we needed business I'd never have agreed to go with him. I prided myself in my ability to work dinner or maybe some dinner party my dad has with his fellow accountant friends, even dinner party with clients, but this was something I'd ne
Dante's POV I stared at him eating with a smile. I loved seeing him for anything. Being away from him had been hard. He wasn't in my office where I could stare at him or kiss him. Since I could have him now. All I wanted to do was keep it that way with him always close by. I'd stayed for some days before I couldn't help it anymore. I wanted him too bad to care so I took the first opportunity out of there. I had canceled a meeting because I wanted to come back to him. I'd missed him so much, I might have pissed off some Victorian vampire that was supposed to meet with me, but it was worth it. On the plane, I'd lied to myself, telling myself I just wasn't comfortable in London and it had nothing to do with him, but I'd all be jumped out of the plane to get here faster. When Tim had come to pick me up, I hadn't planned to come straight to Christopher's place. It had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. I'd entered the car, and the smell was all over it. Tim had just drop
Christopher's POV I woke up in the morning to an empty bed and a note on my pillow. Morning sunshine, I have to go home early so nobody sees me sneaking out. I made breakfast for you it's in your fridge. Take your time and rest. I'll come pick you up for work by 11 am. I smiled at the note and checked the time. It was just seven in the morning. I wished he was here in bed but I understood why he had to leave. He did it for me. Some people in my apartment building knew Ashley was my girlfriend, and if they saw us going out together, it'd cause a lot of trouble for me. I was worried about that but not for the reasons I thought would worry me and that shocked me. I didn't mind Ashley seeing us. What I was scared of was my parents. I didn't want my dad to know about this job or my mum. They'd be heartbroken. They were the reason I was still with Ashley. They'd probably disown me if they knew about Dante and me that was my fear. I walked out of bed and put on my pant
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
