Vampires Don't Give Love Bites Part Sixteen
As they kissed, Caspian's hand trailed down her side, leaving a trail of fire in its wake. Lily arched into his touch, craving more. Her magic crackled beneath her skin, reaching out to twine with the dark energy emanating from him."Goddess," Lily gasped as they broke apart for air. "What are you doing to me?"Caspian's silver eyes gleamed with desire and something darker. "Nothing you don't want, little witch," he murmured, his voice rough with need. "Tell me to stop and I will."But Lily knew she couldn't. Every fiber of her being cried out for more. She pulled him back down, kissing him fiercely."Don't you dare stop," she growled against his lips.A low, predatory chuckle rumbled through Caspian's chest. "Not until I've tasted every inch of you."Lily's breath caught in her throat, anticipation coiling low in her belly. This was madness, she knew. But as Caspian's lips found that sensitive spot on her neck, she found she didn't care. For this moment, at least, she would let herse

The aroma of fresh-brewed coffee enveloped Lily as she pushed open the door of her favorite café, the little bell tinkling overhead. She inhaled deeply, savouring the rich scent that promised to chase away the lingering drowsiness from her late night with Caspian. As she waited in line, she caught sight of her reflection in the polished espresso machine - her fiery hair slightly mussed, a faint purple mark just visible above her collar. Heat rose to her cheeks."The usual, Lily?" asked the barista, eyeing her curiously."Yes, please," Lily replied, her voice raspier than normal. She cleared her throat. "Extra shot today."As she waited for her drink, Lily felt the weight of stares on her back. She turned, catching the gaze of an elderly woman who quickly averted her eyes. A young man openly gaped before his companion elbowed him.Lily's brow furrowed. What was going on? She discreetly sniffed her shirt. No, she didn't smell like a vampire anymore. She'd showered thoroughly before leav

Lily's hands moved with practiced precision as she reached for a new vial. The glass was cool against her fingertips as she lifted it, the contents swirling with an ethereal blue glow that cast dancing shadows across her workspace.Caspian leaned in closer, his presence a palpable force at her back. The scent of him - leather, spice, and something darker - enveloped her, making it hard to concentrate. "And what's this?" he asked, his breath ghosting across her ear. "Something more... potent, perhaps?"Lily suppressed a shiver, willing her voice to remain steady. "This," she said, holding the vial up to the light, "is for healing. Serious cuts, open wounds, that sort of thing."The liquid seemed to pulse with an inner light, reacting to her touch. Lily found herself mesmerized by its swirling depths, memories of past healings flickering through her mind."Fascinating," Caspian murmured. His hand brushed against hers as he reached for the vial, and Lily felt a jolt of electricity at th

Lily exhaled slowly, focusing on the task at hand. The air was thick with the scent of herbs and magic, mingling with Caspian's intoxicating presence. She reached for a vial of shimmering yellow liquid, carefully measuring it into smaller containers."What's that one for?" Caspian asked, his curiosity evident despite his restraints."It's a mood enhancer," Lily replied, her voice steadier now. "Helps with anxiety, depression... general emotional balance.”"Fascinating," he murmured. "And does it work on vampires?"Lily paused, considering. "I'm... not sure. We don't typically get on with your kind so I also don’t cater to vampires."As she corked the last vial, her phone suddenly erupted with a shrill ring. Lily's heart leapt into her throat as she recognized Elena's ringtone."Shit," she hissed, fumbling for her phone. Her eyes locked with Caspian's, a silent warning. "Not. A. Sound," she mouthed, her finger hovering over the answer button.Caspian's lips curved into a wicked smile,

Caspian's eyes widened, genuine surprise flickering across his features. The ropes binding him creaked again as he shifted, leaning even closer to Lily."How are you only two centuries younger than me?" he asked, his voice a mixture of awe and disbelief.Lily felt a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. She turned away from him, busying herself with arranging vials on the shelf, but her words carried clearly over her shoulder."Like I said, there's a lot you won't know about Winters witches."The air in the small shop seemed to thicken, heavy with unspoken secrets and simmering tension. Lily could feel Caspian's gaze burning into her back, and could almost taste his curiosity on her tongue. It mingled with the earthy scent of herbs and the metallic tang of magic that perpetually hung in the air.She debated how much to reveal. The Winters family had guarded their secrets for centuries, passing them down from mother to daughter in whispered incantations and ancient grimoires. But s

The sudden, shrill ring of Lily's phone shattered the moment. She cursed, recognizing her mother's ringtone. Her heart raced as she fumbled for the device, shooting Caspian a warning glance."Not a sound," she hissed, before answering with forced calm. "Mother?"The tension in her mother's voice was palpable, even through the phone. "Lily, thank the goddess. Are you alright?"Lily's brow furrowed. "I'm fine. What's wrong?"A pause, pregnant with dread. "Gideon Thorne has been spotted near your shop."The blood drained from Lily's face. Her fingers tightened on the phone as if it were a lifeline. "Are you sure?" she whispered, though she already knew the answer."Yes, earlier today. A reliable source confirmed it.""Shit," Lily breathed, then louder, "Fucking hell!""Lilith Winters!" her mother admonished. "Language!"A hysterical laugh bubbled up in Lily's throat. "I'm sorry, but I think I'm allowed to swear when a hunter who's had it in for me for two centuries suddenly shows up agai

Lily could feel the tension radiating off him in waves, his protective instincts warring with his desire to respect her wishes. She knew this wasn't easy for him, centuries of ingrained behavior fighting against this new, vulnerable connection between them.Without a word, she stepped forward, closing the distance between them. Her arms slipped around his waist as she pressed her cheek against his chest, inhaling his intoxicating scent.His body was rigid for a moment, surprise evident in the slight catch of his breath. Then, slowly, his arms encircled her, one hand splaying across her lower back while the other cradled the nape of her neck.Lily closed her eyes, savouring the feeling of safety and warmth that enveloped her. It was a stark contrast to the danger that lurked just beyond their embrace, a moment of peace in the eye of the storm. Lily murmured against his chest, her voice muffled by the soft fabric of his shirt, "I should go see my mother, prove I'm okay." She pulled bac

Lily's fingers trembled slightly as she finished applying the balm. She took a deep breath, inhaling the artificial scent that now clung to her skin. It felt wrong, like a betrayal of her true self."I know," she sighed, meeting Caspian's troubled gaze. "It's shit, but it's necessary. This way, I can pretend I've just been working on masking spells all day, or even that I’m using it to hide my scent from Gideon."She moved to the cracked mirror hanging on the wall, studying her reflection. The woman staring back at her looked the same, but Lily felt profoundly changed. Her voice lowered to a whisper, almost as if she were speaking to herself. "Assuming I'm back at my flat tomorrow night, I'll shower it off then."Caspian stepped closer, his cool presence at her back both comforting and unnerving. "And if you're not?" he asked, his breath tickling her ear.Lily's eyes met his in the mirror, a spark of defiance flaring in their emerald depths. "Then we'll cross that bridge when we come

He looked up at her, his eyes glinting with a predatory hunger that reminded her of what he truly was. His fingers toyed with the edge of her thong, the delicate lace a flimsy barrier between them."Yes, my little witch?" he purred, his breath cool against her heated skin.Lily struggled to form coherent thoughts, caught between the intoxicating sensations he was evoking and the nagging voice in the back of her mind reminding her of the enormity of their union - witch and vampire, destined mates defying centuries of animosity."I..." she began, but words failed her as Caspian's fingers slipped beneath the lace.His touch was feather-light, gentle despite his obvious strength.

Under her breath, she murmured words in an ancient tongue, her voice barely audible but thrumming with power. The air seemed to thicken, shimmering faintly in the dim light of the room. Caspian felt a prickle along his skin, the hair on his arms standing on end as Lily's magic unfurled around them.Damien shifted uneasily, his curiosity getting the better of him. "What exactly are you…"Before he could finish, Lily shot him a pointed glance over her shoulder. The intensity in her green eyes was enough to make even the vampire take a step back. Damien's mouth snapped shut, his question dying on his lips.Caspian couldn't help but feel a surge of pride mixed with desire.

The crystal chandelier cast dancing shadows across the opulent living room as Caspian sank into a plush velvet armchair, his long fingers curling around a cut-crystal tumbler of aged whiskey. The amber liquid glowed in the dim light, mesmerising as he swirled it gently. Lily perched on the arm of his chair, her bright blue dress a vivid splash of colour against the room's rich, dark tones.Damien sprawled across the leather sofa opposite them, legs stretched out languidly. "So," he drawled, "how exactly did you two lovebirds discover you were 'destined mates'?" His lips quirked in a smirk. "I have to admit, I'm dying to know the details."Caspian's silver eyes flicked to Lily, a silent question. She gave a slight nod."It was rather unexpected…" Caspian began, his smooth voice filling the room. He trail

"Actually," Caspian said, his voice low and smooth, "I was thinking we might all head back to our place." He turned to Lily, silver eyes searching her face. "It's just Damien and I there. You're more than welcome to join us, if you'd prefer not to go home."Lily's mind raced, weighing the implications. The thought of seeing Caspian's home, of spending the night surrounded by his scent, was intoxicating. And yet, a small voice in the back of her mind whispered caution.She smiled, pushing aside her reservations. "That sounds good," she said, her voice huskier than she'd intended.Damien's eyebrows shot up, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "Well, well," he drawled, leaning in conspiratorially. "Far be it from me to stand in the way of young love. Or old love, as the case may be." He winked at Caspi

As Elena and Fern disappeared into the crowd, Lily couldn't shake the feeling that she'd just set something dangerous in motion. The weight of her decision settled on her shoulders like a heavy cloak, and she prayed to whatever forces were listening that her trust hadn't been misplaced.Caspian's silver eyes flickered with concern as he studied Lily's face. His thumb traced soothing circles on her palm, the cool touch a stark contrast to the heat of anxiety coursing through her veins. He leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, "What's done is done, love. We'll face whatever comes together."His words, laced with centuries of wisdom and unwavering support, calmed the storm brewing inside her. Lily nodded, allowing herself to relax into his embrace for a moment before turning her attention to Damien.

She cleared her throat, searching for a way to redirect the conversation. "So, Damien," she said, infusing her voice with a lightness she didn't feel, "Caspian tells me you have quite the talent for...mixology. Any cocktails you'd recommend?"Damien's eyes glinted with sudden mischief, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Oh, I thought you'd never ask," he purred, rubbing his hands together with exaggerated glee. "I'll be right back."Before anyone could protest, he vanished into the pulsing crowd of the bar. The heavy bass thrummed through Lily's bones, matching the quickening of her pulse. She cast a questioning glance at Caspian, who merely shrugged, a mix of amusement and wariness in his eyes.Moments later, Damien reappeared, his arms laden with an assortment of bottles, their glass surfaces catching the low light of the bar. A cocktail shaker dangled precariously from his fingers, and a stack of glasses balanced in the crook of his elbow.As he

The tension at the table was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. Lily could feel the waves of disapproval radiating from Elena, contrasting sharply with Caspian's quiet support. The air felt heavy, charged with unspoken words and centuries of ingrained animosity.Suddenly, Fern's gentle voice cut through the suffocating atmosphere. "I may not fully understand it," she said, her warm brown eyes flickering between Lily and Caspian, "but I believe in it. And I'm happy for you both."Lily felt a rush of gratitude towards her friend, her chest tightening with emotion. Fern's acceptance, so freely given, was like a balm to her frayed nerves.Fern's lips quirked into a mischievous smile. "I promise I'll try not to hiss at Caspian too loudly in public," she added with a wink.

Elena's gaze flickered between them, her lips pressed into a thin line. The tension at the table was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. Lily's mind raced, torn between the desire to defend her choices and the fear of losing one of her oldest friends."You don't know what you're getting into," Elena whispered, her voice barely audible over the pulsing beat of the music. There was something in her eyes – was it concern? Or something darker?Lily shrugged, the movement causing her bright blue dress to shimmer under the bar's moody lighting. "Life is unpredictable," she said. The words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken implications.Elena's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flickering in their depths. She leaned forward, her raven hair cascading over her shoulders like a curtain of shadow. "Does he know

Beside her, Fern's eyes darted between the vampires, her fingers twitching as if ready to cast a protective spell at any moment.Caspian's arm tightened around Lily's waist. "Elena, Fern," he nodded, his voice carefully neutral. "Allow me to properly introduce you to my brother, Damien."Damien stepped forward, extending a hand. "A pleasure," he said smoothly.Elena's eyes raked over him appreciatively, the hostility in her gaze dimming slightly. "Charmed," she replied, her fingertips lingering on his palm.Fern hung back, her gentle features twisted with barely concealed revulsion. Lily's heart ached for her friend, knowing the internal st
