All Chapters of Bloodbound Desires: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Fuck! I'm going to be late again!" I exclaimed, frustration dripping from my words like the sweat trickling down my forehead. My heart pounded like a drum, each pedal stroke a desperate plea to defy time itself. The city streets morphed into a chaotic kaleidoscope of lights and sounds, blurring together in a disorienting frenzy.Tonight, the stakes were higher than ever, and the weight of responsibility bore down on me with an unforgiving force. The club where I toiled tirelessly was undergoing a profound transformation, its ownership changing hands. Robert, the previous owner, had shockingly decided to sell it. The club, once a cherished family heirloom, was being passed on like an abandoned relic.I couldn't help but reminisce about the days when Robert's brother reigned supreme over the club, exuding a passion and dedication that filled the air like a contagious energy. But with his untimely demise, Robert's love for the club seemed to wither away alongside his sibling. A profound

As I stood outside the office, a cocktail in hand, I hesitated before knocking on the door. “Come in!”The voice inside had already called me in, indicating that my new boss was well aware of my presence. It was no surprise, really, considering there were cameras everywhere. Feeling a mix of anxiety and anticipation, I glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby and finally entered the room.Closing the door gently behind me, I found myself in a dimly lit space. The darkness was suffocating, triggering my claustrophobia and causing me to tremble. Just as I began to struggle with my discomfort, a voice broke the silence and a light flickered on in the corner of the room, revealing my boss sitting in a chair."Do I make you nervous?" he asked, his voice cutting through the tension. I couldn't see his face clearly yet, but the sound of his words sent shivers down my spine."No, it's not you. I've always had a touch of claustrophobia since I was a child. No idea why," I rambled, r

"Eva, why are you sitting here in the dark?" Nora's voice broke through the silence, bringing me back to reality."Not in the dark. I'm watching Game Night to cheer myself up," I replied, my voice lacking enthusiasm. Nora settled down next to me, and I glanced at her, trying to figure out the time. It must be early since she usually left around eight in the evening. We often locked up together, and on Saturdays, we sometimes wouldn't get back home until six in the morning. But with the sun still hidden, it had to be much earlier than that.She grabbed my spoon and started devouring my precious tub of Haagen-Dazs. Normally, that would have bothered me, especially since it was the last one, but after the night I had, I felt numb, devoid of any emotions."So, what gives? Why did Haagen-Dazs come out, and why did that one movie you hate become the answer to your prayers?" she asked, nudging me gently.“Yeah, you’re right this is supposed to be eaten on special occasions. The price is near

“What the fuck!”Nora handed me my paycheck last night, and I couldn't believe I hadn't checked it until now. I’d been working half the time I usually do, and it's making me question who's really in charge of the schedule. Xavier and I had to talk, because he’d overpaid me, I could take it. God knows I needed it, but I knew if I did, and they found out that, then I would lose my job.Honesty was the best policy, even if I was tempted to keep quiet, I couldn’t afford to lose this job until my exam results are out, until I can officially call myself a graduate.As I swung open the club door, Xavier stood there, catching me completely off guard. I thought I was the only one opening up. My heart skipped a beat as our eyes locked, his intense gaze piercing my soul, only for him to quickly avert his eyes. It's like he's an enigma, a ghost in the night. Everyone says it, and it's true - you never hear him coming or going. Some say it's creepy, but Nora and I find it sexy. Sebastian claims i

"Nora!" I yelled, trying to catch my breath as I joined her at the bustling bar. It was as if Xavier not confirming anything about our relationship made me feel at ease. He didn’t want to label it, and I didn’t want a label. Never in my life had I felt this way, I’d often demanded, wanted them to make it official, but with Xavier everything was different. Especially the way he made me feel from the waist downward.“Oh, there you are," she responded with her eyes twinkling. I fumbled with my skirt, attempting to straighten it. Whenever he approached us at the bar, he'd either playfully smack my butt or request someone to summon his "woman" and fetch him a drink.Xavier had a primal air about him, a presence that sent shivers down everyone's spine. There were rumors circulating, ridiculous tales of him being a vampire, which supposedly explained his nocturnal nature. After all, he worked in a club—nighttime was his domain.It was crazy the way everyone behaved around him. Scared but t
