SIENNA
I smiled in my sleep, turning on my side and clutching the pillow to my body. I moaned softly, a headache settling at the sides of my head, earning a low whimper from me. I exhaled, not wanting to move an inch from my bed. I was so tired. I could barely feel my legs. I struggled to keep my heavy eyelids open, but then, the moment I remembered I had work to do, that was enough motivation for my eyes to snap open, meeting with an overly bright room that had me squinting my eyes at the sensitivity of the light.Once I had adjusted my eyes to the light, my eyes darted to the grey walls of the room and I furrowed my brows.When did I change the paint in my room?My eyes wouldn't stop wandering around the ridiculously large room and I sat up, pain shooting through my body, eliciting a soft groan from me. There was nothing in this room that reminded me of my room. Everything in here was so strange, and I really didn't like this awful, awful feeling I was getting. I tried to remember how I got here, but my brain couldn't come up with anything. It didn't sit well with me.I was as blank as a white sheet.I tried to move from the spot I was seated on but I couldn't, the soreness between my legs wouldn't allow me to."You are up,"With a speed so deadly, so shocking, I whipped my head in the direction of that masculine voice, my gaze landing on an attractive male that kept himself busy with doing his cuffs. He was dressed in a crisp white shirt that was tucked in grey slacks. His messy brown hair fell over his face. Then, he raised his head, and those amber eyes locked with mine, sending a wave of shock washing over me. A light gasp escaped me."Well, hello there, handsome,""I want you out of these clothes,"There were a lot of giggles and gruff voices, giggles I recognized to be mine, but didn't sound like me because I would never sound like that on a normal day. I sounded drunk."Fuck!" I shouted, memories hitting me all at once. I tried to keep up but I just couldn't. It was all happening so fast. Crap, Alcohol was a total bitch."We had sex, didn't we?" I turned to him, cocking my head to the side. The corner of his lips twitched in a breathtaking smirk, and I found myself biting down on my lip. At least he is hot. That should count for something."I have told you," He strode over to where I sat, his eyes darkening in anger, and something akin to an emotion I couldn't comprehend. He seemed irritated. His hands dropped to my side, and he released a breath that fanned my face and left my nipples hard, straining against the material of the body cover."Stop biting your lip," He growled."I'm sorry," I muttered in a small voice that had me cringing in embarrassment. It didn't seem like it belonged to me."You look even more stunning in the morning. If it weren't for the fact that I was late for work, I wouldn't hesitate to take you on this bed, again. Also, I take it that you are still sore from last night." He smirked at me and stared at my lips before dropping a soft kiss on them. I clasped my legs together, suppressing the urge to moan and deepen the kiss. My eyes did a slow crawl over his shirt that clung to his firm and taut muscles, which suddenly made me jealous of the shirt."Get dressed. I got you new clothes. I will drop you off." He ordered me. I got up from the bed, wrapping the covers around my body and I headed into the bathroom to take my bath. True to his words, I found a red dress and a pair of undies in the bathroom. My cheeks reddened in embarrassment, wondering how he knew my size so quickly. I got out of the bathroom and met him seated on the couch. His head shot up from the phone in his hands when he heard the door creak and his cold eyes took me in demurely. I felt conscious under his gaze and I looked away.I picked up my heels that were on the floor, strapped them on, and grabbed my purse. Thank goodness I didn't take any work files home yesterday. I could show up at work looking like this."Come on," He nudged his head in the direction of the door, and I stepped out with him trailing behind me.Perv. I knew he was checking out my ass ✰✰✰✰✰Something is wrong.Something is wrong and I couldn't shake it off. The route we were taking was the same route that led to my workplace. And last I checked, I didn't tell him where I was going. I couldn't keep track of the number of times I had shifted uncomfortably in my seat, while he kept glancing at me through the corner of his eyes and that even kept me more on edge than I was.My breath seized when we drove into Blackwell, and his car came to a stop. The doors clicked, signaling it was unlocked already."Come on, I don't want to keep you waiting. I just want to quickly address something here before I go drop you off." He uttered softly, his amber eyes fixated on me. I let out a shaky breath, my lips quivering softly. I couldn't find my words, so I nodded. He got out of the car, while I sat in the passenger's corner, frozen. I didn't realize he had opened the door for me, waiting for me to step out. He held out his hand, and I took it, stepping out.He didn't let me go, he held my hand as we strutted into the building. The guard standing by the doorpost opened the door for him, bowing his head. The moment we stepped into the firm, it was as though royalty just stepped into the room. They couldn't even look him in the eye. Everyone had their heads bowed, and my heart kept thudding loudly against my chest. With every step we took, he held on to me even tighter. With every step we took, it felt like my heart would burst out through my chest.We stepped into the elevator, and on cue, he pulled me to his side by the waist, burying his head in the crook of my neck area sniffing me in, for a very long time. It was as though he wanted to pull me into himself. The Elevator doors opened, and one of the workers came into view, his mouth hanging in the air. I heard a low animalistic growl exit his lips, more like he wanted to scare him off. He retracted his gaze from us, quickly, bowing his head in respect.We pranced out of the elevator and were currently on the last floor, where the workers scrambled to their seats, bowing their heads. I barely had the chance to come back from that, when I heard Evan's voice."Mr. Blackwell," He spoke.I think I died right on the spot.Mr. Blackwell…Mr. Blackwell…Mr. Blackwell…."Welcome back, Boss." Evan bowed his head and I let out a harsh breath, stepping out of his arms, and staggering backwards with blurry eyes. My chest constricted in pain, and all I wanted to do was rip it out of my chest and stomp it until I couldn't feel this terrible heartache anymore.My clutch met the floor with a loud clanging sound that gained the attention of everyone, and my jaw dropped to the floor. I wheezed, holding onto the table behind me for support.I think…I think I just slept with my boss.SIENNAJust when I thought I could finally move past everything that happened at my last workplace. That silver lining, that light at the end of the tunnel that just assured me that everything was going to be fine, when I was finally piecing my life back together, history just had to repeat itself in the worst way possible. I didn't understand, I couldn't comprehend the reason it had to be me every damn time. Was there something I did to the universe that made it hate me so much and always want to punish me for every wrongdoing? Why couldn't I just be happy and live a life without problems? Why do things have to go from bad to worse? After the horrible revelation, I couldn't stand there for one more second and have everyone look at me the way they stared at me like I had grown two heads, so I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Out of Blackwell. Out of his life.And since then, I have been hiding in the confines of my room because I didn't even know how to face him. Ever si
KENZOThe thick red liquid rolled down my throat, not in the least quenching the ache that settled around my fangs. That was it. The third glass of blood I would be taking today, yet, I was still so hungry. I growled, throwing the glass at my wall, causing it to shatter in the process. I undid my cuffs and brushed my fingers through my hair, a light scoff leaving my lips. I was hungry, cranky, and irritated. My overly sensitive hearing couldn't refrain from picking up on the thudding of heartbeats and the seamless flow of blood through the veins of every human that surrounded the entire building.Coming back to this company after five decades surely wasn't what I had expected. I didn't expect holding onto my restraint to become this hard. It was taking so much restraint for me not to get up from where I sat and burst through those doors, sinking my fangs into any human I find on the way. My fangs hurt, my head pounded so terribly and my eyes burned with so much intensity, the veins be
KENZOI have always loved being alone. But right now, sitting in the darkness and staring into space didn't seem to do it for me. I was very restless as my sharp, enhanced vision moved around my chambers. I wasn't sure of the last time I made use of the lights in this room. It's been decades, even. There was something about the darkness that appealed to me in ways I couldn't understand. First, there was this air of superiority and regality it just brings along with it and the fact that terrible, terrible things are being done in the dark, makes it even more beguiling. Secondly, this one was my favorite, the fact that I get to torture my prey however I want, being in the dark with something that was enough to make fear crawl up your spine, chasing and taunting them to the ends of the earth until they finally lose the only they had left. Their sanity.It was hands down the most inciting sport. It was a part of being a vampire that I loved so much. It brings me so much joy, when I see t
SIENNA"And I was like, bitch, Hol'up! I am here to see my man and your sorry ass is not going to stop me!" Alyssa ranted, fuming as though smoke were coming out of her ears, as she kept me updated about the latest news at her fiancé's office. She had gone to say hello to him at the office, and his assistant, the one with the big ass? Yeah, she told her that he was in a meeting."Who the hell does she think she is? Her ass isn't bigger than mine! She probably did the surgery so it could appear bigger. Ugh! I hate that lady." She huffed, and I turned to her, taking off my sports bra and leaving me naked, as I took my phone, sauntering into the bathroom."Are you even listening?" She queried, and I sighed."If I wasn't listening, I wouldn't take my phone into the bathroom." I reminded her and found a suitable spot to place my phone, before getting under the shower. I switched it on and allowed water to soothe my nerves. It wasn't the time to stay for long hours under the shower, so I to
KENZOI pulled her to myself, sinking my fangs into her neck and draining her of her blood. Yeah, she was definitely a screamer. She wouldn't stop screaming when I was feeding on her. But as I said, that was the fun part. The part where they scream and thrash around when I am trying to feed on them. It makes me feel like I am doing my job very well. She was very tasty. I didn't know when I ripped her head off her neck. Well, her head wasn't that strong anyway. I shrugged casually and let her drop to the floor. I tend to rip people's heads off, whenever I feed. Blood was the one thing I could never get enough of and when I feel even a drop on my fangs, soothing it's ache. I lost total control and just fed until they were dead.It was really rare for me to snatch, eat and erase. In the sense that, I would compel them to do my bidding and then, let them go after I was done. It was something I seldom did. I growled and walked past the numerous dead bodies in my chambers, kicking them off,
KENZOGoing back to Blackwell meant one thing. Insane bloodlust that felt as though it was about to drive me crazy. I have never had to struggle with my restraint this much, not like I have ever needed to but I was done allowing someone else to run my company for me. Blackwell belonged to me. I owned every bit of it and I wanted my company back. I wasn't just going to run off into the clouds because I was struggling with my thirst. After all, I have only been here for a few weeks and I was trying to adjust to the human world. Again. So, I guess it would take time. I am the world's deadliest creature and all I have is nothing but time. I was sure as hell ready to wait.The gates were pulled open and my chauffeur drove into the compound. I felt a smile form on my lips. Blackwell was one of my biggest achievements and it brings me so much joy that I was the owner of the company that produced the most bought wines in the market. Building this company about a century ago came from my love
SIENNATonight, I wasn't going to be Sienna Rebecca Dowling. I was going to be an entirely different girl that just wants to let loose and have fun, drink herself into a stupor, and just…live. I have burdened myself so much in the past few years, struggling to make ends meet as a fresh graduate, who had to put food on the table for her family, with bills lining up to pay. I have had to do away with distractions because I knew they just wouldn't get me anywhere. I have had to channel the anger of working for everything I have into getting a better life for myself, into getting that life that I deserve.In the process, I rarely have time for myself. I seldom had time to go out and mingle with people, to date men, to get my heart broken. To live. Not like I was interested in being with anyone for now. I just couldn't see myself getting into a relationship, after what went down at the company I did my internship, years ago. I worked with a young boss, whom I dared say was really good look
SIENNAI didn't know how we left the lounge and found ourselves in a room. We could barely get our hands off each other on our way here. Not that I cared. All I wanted from this man was for him to slam me against the wall and fuck me so hard until I was rid of all my senses.He kicked the door open, kicking it shut with his hands wrapped around my waist, our lips locked in a searing kiss that made my legs want to fail me. And just like I had wanted, just like my body yearned, he slammed my back against the wall, showering feathery kisses across the skin of my neck. My fingers worked through his buttons, shattering a few in the process as I got him out of that hideous shirt.I let out a soft gasp after pulling away from his lips, taking in the sight of his ripped body with no fat surrounding them. He wasn't a giant but he had mouthwatering muscles and flawless skin. He leaned in, breathing on my face and opening up my pores in the process. "You have no idea how badly I want you out o
