All Chapters of Forbidden Thirst (Crimson Shadows Book #1): Chapter 61 - Chapter 66

I fix for a moment the cars parked below and rub my hands together. I slowly make the power inside me rise, containing it in order to prepare myself. If Draven hears about it, I'm dead meat! As for Lucian, he'll have all eternity to suffer his wrath.I close my eyes and focus on a car with increased attention. I try to move it but only manage to make it shake on the spot. I realize that it's extremely difficult to try this kind of magic trick at such a distance and on such a heavy object. I try again but it still doesn't work, I sigh."If you get annoyed, it won't work at all. Be patient.""It's so frustrating to know that I'm capable of it but that my power doesn't obey me.""The more you train, the easier it'll get, you have to give yourself time." For once, I don't listen. A bit annoyed, I concentrate again.Only, instead of being calm and posed as Draven advised me, I let myself be overwhelmed by my emotions. I'm soon invaded by a great force, whirling in me as if ready to fight.

"Still, I don't think it's necessary for you to forbid us from seeing each other. We're not kids!""Yet you both behave like one.""That's not fair! I made a mistake, one little mistake! I think your punishment is cruel!""Oh yeah? Tell that to the poor man you nearly killed last night!""Yes, but I didn't!""You were lucky, it could have been much worse, I had to use my power on him to cover you and protect the family! So, until I can trust you again, you don't see each other outside the manor and that's final!" With these words, he gets up and leaves the room without a goodbye.I feel terrible. My stomach is in knots again. I'm not sure I eat anything."Don't fret Celeste... He just needs a bit of time, you really scared him!""I didn't want to... I didn't see him coming and...""I know, you'd never do anything to hurt anyone intentionally and slip-ups happen, we've all been there. Now, eat up!""I don't feel like it...""I told you human food wasn't good!" Laura forces a smile out

Next minute, we're immersed in the Manor's pool, just under my window. When I emerge, still hanging onto his neck, I try to catch my breath."I'm going to kill you!""Come on, little thing. Admit that you loved it, I can feel the excitement vibrating inside of you." We stare at each other lovingly for a long while in silence staying perfectly still. I reach out and touch his cheek. I'm worried that it's all just a dream. But no, he's really here in front of me."I missed you so much...""We shouldn't... Draven is going to kill us.""No he won't! Come here..." He suddenly draws me against him and keeps me nestled in the hollow of his arm. I am happier than I've ever been.I move away slightly and plunge my eyes into his. His eyes are gentle. I can read all the tenderness he has for me. I embrace him and lay a gentle kiss on his mouth. He slides his tongue over my lips. I sigh with pleasure. Each touch brings my body a little closer to burning point.I arch my back pressing myself again
