Christopher's pov “Here's the contract.” Theo gave it so I could give it a once over. “Of course, you can take it with you and read it so Dante here doesn't drown you with indentured servitude for the rest of your life,” he joked, and I rolled my eyes. “I grew up an only child. I can only do chores for one person, and unfortunately, that person is myself.” I grinned. I read through it and noticed very absurd benefits. At first, I thought it was weird, but when I saw the housing listed as one of the benefits, I knew it was Dante trying to pay for everything. It would have been cute but he was pushing too much. I'd told him I wanted to pay for where I lived but he'd still somehow insisted and still added it to my benefits. I found it annoying. He noticed my face and immediately knew what he'd done wrong. “Wait, no, Sunshine, the housing is part of our contracts, I promise.” I looked at him with a raised brow. “I promise. I didn't do it to be annoying” he hel
Dante's POV I guess it was about time he knew about Andre's club, not that I wanted him to know, but I didn't really have a choice if I wanted to take him with me. I knew he'd ask questions about Ashley's being there, but there was no way of hiding it without manipulating the truth, and I'd promised not to do that to him. "Wait, I have just one question. Does she know about vampires?" He asked looking very worried. "No, she doesn't. The club has a more private area for drinking and even if she's been drunk from I'm sure the vampire probably wiped the memory" I explained and he stared at me in shock. "How does she not even notice it," he asked, looking very confused. "Vampire hypnosis can be very strong. I haven't used it on you, but it can make you lose memories, and some of us can even replace the memories with fake ones." I explained pulling him in my arms. I didn't need him having a panic attack. "Every day, I hear a new thing about vampires, and I have to r
Christopher's POV Dante linked his fingers through mine pulling me even closer to him. He was visibly tensed even as he led me through the crowd to the booth Andre had prepared for us. I started to sit, but Dante grabbed my hand, stopped me, and pulled me onto his lap. I sat surprised and looked at him with a raised brow. "possessive much?" I grinned at him. "I'd just rather you sit here" he replied but held me right where I was. The whole club was filled with people drinking from other people and even in different stages of undress, having sex with each other. I could see why he'd be clingy. "So are you gonna feed now or what? How does it work?" I asked him but he just placed his finger on my lips. "Shhhh, I'm not feeding yet. I just want to hold you" he whispered in my ear as he kept looking around. Something was wrong. "Why are you being very vigilant?" I asked, and he sighed. "I'm just making sure that someone I don't want around you doesn't isn't in here" h
Dante's POV I pinned Jim against the wall kissing him. He was so beautiful it drove me crazy. Watching him watch me feed was the single most arousing thing I'd ever seen. The way he stared at me, open mouth, desperate. I could hear his heartbeat while drinking from her. It had taken me all I had not to just jump him immediately. I left the woman with Andre. He'd help the woman out. Right now I was more focused on getting home someway so I could ravish him. I pulled away from him and smiled. His eyes were closed and his ups puckered. He opened his eyes and smiled at me. When he did stuff like that, he was pushing my self-control, something I didn't have, something that was already being strained. I kissed him again, sighed, and pulled away. "Let's go home" I pulled him out of the club holding his hand as I walked out to the parking lot. "Should we get in the car or bolt for it?" I asked him as soon as we got to the car. "Well let's just drive home. No need
Christopher's pov Dante didn't say a word until we were in the house with the door shut. "They won't be coming here. They're not stupid enough to do that" he said as he set me down. "I need to make a call" he pulled out his phone and dialed a number in front of me. I was expecting him to maybe move away before making the call but he stood there. He trusted me enough to let me listen in on his conversation "Lucien what the hell is going on with the fucking Ace coven," he growled into his phone "I thought I told you to watch them so why are they stalking me and Christopher?" he sounded extremely angry. "I don't understand what you mean, sire? Is that your answer? "he shouted at the person on the other side. I couldn't help but feel bad for him. "let me make this clear: you figure out what they are doing, and you report immediately back to me," he ordered into the phone and hung up. He pocketed his phone before walking to me. He cupped my face and kissed me.
Dante's POV I pinned him, flipped him on his stomach, and pinned him down on the bed. He looked back and raised a brow at me but didn't say anything. I smirked and spread him, licking him slowly. He squirmed and then relaxed against my mouth. I squeezed him as softly. He was just so soft and pillowy. “Get on with it and stop being a tease” he shoved his ass into my face. I chuckled and pinned his head deep into the bed. “You like it when I tease you, so stay still” I growled into his ass. “Get the lube from my nightstand.” I let go of his head so he could reach for the nightstand. He handed the lube to me. I smeared it on my finger and slowly inserted it onto his ass. He moaned out loud shoving himself against me. I smiled pacing myself as I fingered him slowly. He writhed under me, moaning and begging in pleasure. I planned on making him cum with my fingers first before entering him, but I couldn't hold myself any longer. I squirted more life on m
Christopher's POV I was leaning against the wall, and the room was misty and had flower petals all over. Dante appeared through the mist walking towards me. He pinned me against the wall and wrapped his hand around my neck before leaning down to kiss me. I opened my mouth but couldn't say a word. I didn't even want to talk. He licked up my neck kissing my jaw. He reached his hands into my pants still kissing me. I moaned, and he pulled away, looking at me. He then opened his mouth and let his fangs descend. "I'm hungry. Feed me, baby," he said, and I nodded eagerly. He smiled and slowly bent over my neck. The moment his mouth wrapped around my neck and his fangs pressed against my skin, I jolted up from my sleep to the sound of my alarm ringing. Fuck I turned off the alarm and got out of bed to get dressed. It's been more than a week since the incident at the club and everything was going fine. There had not been any other incident since then. I wa
Dante's POV Something was up and I planned on knowing what and why. He was on me kissing me desperately. Not that I minded made me feel important to him and I liked that. It was a huge ego boost. I let him have his way, enjoying the way he desperately kissed me, fighting for dominance and chasing his pleasure. He thought he'd gotten away with answering my question but I wasn't about to let that happen. In as much as I enjoyed this, I had a feeling I'd enjoy knowing what was on his mind even more. I gripped his hair tightly pulling me away from him. "Wait, what are you doing?" he asked, trying to lean back in to kiss me. I held his head back preventing him from doing that. "Dante" he pouted I raised a brow at him. Did you really think that I'd let it go?" I asked him, and he tried to feign ignorance. "Let what go? I don't know what you're talking about." he leaned back down to kiss me, but I held him back. "You don't know what I'm talking about?" I asked
Ashley's pov I was shaking. Chris. Chris was in bed with Dante. He was being fucked by Dante. He wasn't even the one doing the fucking he was taking it up his ass. The way he had looked. The way he had begged. That was something I didn't even want to remember. When I came out of the house, Tim was nowhere to be found so I had to order an Uber home. The whole ride home, the image of them together kept playing in my head I had the diver stop so I could throw up by the road. I was sitting in Chris's apartment feeling disgusted after throwing up twice. My boyfriend was fucking his boss. This wasn't something I had ever expected to see. I mean why? Why me? My relationship was over. I had lost both men. My life was ruined. I was going back to live with my father. I was dating a fag. How did this happen? How had I not noticed it? I had no backup. The only way I could stay away from living with my dad was if I got married. Chris was my way out. How had I not noticed it?
Dante's POV Ashley had even more control over Christopher than I thought. She didn't have his heart but she had his empathy. Christopher was a good person. She had wiggled her way into his good graces. He couldn't even see it but Ashley was abusive. Even when she'd hurt him. He was still trying to make sure I didn't hurt her. This. If he left Ashley because he wanted to be with me, he would never leave her completely. I needed to ruin their relationship. If he broke things with her, he'd forever hold guilt and she would make sure to use it as a leverage against him. She had to leave him. She had tried to be with me and after that failed ran back to Christopher. Now all I had to do was show her that she had lost him. I watched their whole interaction through the camera in his room. He didn't want her anymore. If she left him he wouldn't feel any way about it. If she left him everything would be fine. He wouldn't have to feel guilt. I kissed his forehead. He was asleep and I ha
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
