All Chapters of Aphrodite: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

When my eyes snapped open, I found myself laying in Master Abigor's bed. My eyes looked up at the chandelier above my head as the memories from last night hit me as hard as a stone being hurled at my head. I brought my hand shakily to my neck, remembering the searing pain as Master Abigor bit me. As my finger ran along my skin, I felt a very distinct marking and that is when I knew that it had not been a dream. I had been awake...Master Abigor was truly a vampire as I had stated. At the sudden realization my heart began to race and my eyes widened but I was unable to move my body. I wanted to sit up and run out of here, to never return to this monster. He seemed to hear the chaos that had been in my mind because he appeared and I simply looked at him with wide eyes, "my Aphrodite," he so smoothly praised my name on his tongue. It was shocking how such a beautiful man could be such a monster. I

The world looked different as I stepped out into the garden and shielded my eyes from the bright sun with my hands. "Will it hurt?" I asked Abigor as I let him rest his head on my bosom. The action, strangely, made me feel at ease. It calmed me down after all the fright I had felt. "Death...hurts, a lot," he responded and the vibrations that came from his speaking shook me to the very core. I was still unable to move but at this point, I realized that moving was futile because even if he had not done anything to my body, I would have been frozen in place. This time as I looked at the flowers, I willed myself to feel. I pressed my hand to my chest, soothed by the sound of my beating heart that banged against my chest. I sought solace in the simple action as I took in a deep breath and for

 I stood in the centre of Abigor's bedroom chambers. There was a blanket laying on the floor, and atop the blanket was a variety of food choices and drinks. The entire room was dark and the only light that illuminated the room and allowed me to see the person in the room with me were the candles that were in a circle around the blanket. I should be sitting on the floor, dining with Abigor. Yet Abigor was circling me slowly. I could feel the heat of his gaze as he looked me up and down from every angle. I wore a white silk dress, one that was the definition of temptation. I know not what came over to warrant such actions but I enjoyed when I brought a reaction out of him. It brought a smile to my face to know that a simple woman such as myself could have such an effect on a vampire.&nb

The home was abuzz. The most abuzz it has been my entire life. The servants were running around, shouting to each other in excitement and it brought a smile to my face because every person was happy for this union. There were no longer moments of silence. The once always silent home, was now a home buzzing with joy. I walked into Master Abigor's quarters, headed for his office. When I reached the big oak doors, I pushed them open before I entered the room. My eyes immediately connected with Master Abigor's who was sitting behind his desk. I closed the doors behind me and walked towards him. I smiled at him and he returned the smile with a confident smirk, "to what do I owe the pleasure of such a meeting?" he asked me as he put his feather down and rolled up the scroll that he was writing on. By the time I had reached his table he had already stood up and stood in front of me. He took my hands into his and leaned do

I laid my head on his chest, my heart thumped against my ribs, my ears had a constant ring and my mouth was dry. We were finally alone. The sun had set and the guests had left. It had been a beautiful day, one that ended far too quickly for my liking. I wished I could have spent the rest of eternity in that moment with Abigor. As we swayed together to the music being played by my very own teachers. I could still hear how beautifully the strings of the violin had been pulled as he and I danced together. I heard the ooh's and ahh's from our exclusive audience. We only had the wealthiest and the most powerful attend. It had truly been an event for the books. But now, it was time for me to meet my end. Abigor held onto me just as tightly and we silently stood in embrace, refusing to let the other go. It felt like we had been standing this way for hours since the balls of my feet felt as though they
