All Chapters of Sold To The Cruel Vampire King: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Naomi PovMy heart raced as I followed Lucian out of my room. We climbed up the stairs and stopped when we came to a black door.I didn't know where the door led to, as I had never been to this part of the house, or should I say mansion."Make yourself comfortable," Lucian told me as he offered me a seat. I still wasn't used to this polite side of him, but I guess people change once you get to know them.I know I also wasn't behaving the way I did when I first got here. I'm calmer now and, dare I say, comfortable. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?I looked around and noticed the room looked like a study. There was a little collection of books on a small shelf in the corner of the room and I watched as Lucian pulled out the book he had taken away from me in the library, and placed it carefully next to a row of books. So he had been carrying it with him all day."Welcome to my study, Naomi," he stated, sitting on the office chair in the room.I smiled and sat more comfortably on the

Naomi PovI looked around me as I woke up. I almost panicked in the unfamiliar room until I remembered I was in Hawaii. I got up from bed excitedly, moving to the balcony as I took in the scenery.I had a nice view from up here, and I was thankful that Lucian got us this suite. I could see people wandering about, looking so tiny from high up. I would have loved to go down and play in the ocean, but Lucian was not back yet. Sighing, I detached myself from the balcony where I was viewing the water, suddenly hungry. Getting to the living room, I saw Lucian sitting on one of the sofas, busy typing on his phone and his gaze snapped at me as I came into view.He had ordered food for me, which I was thankful for and after eating, he gave me a package. Changing into the red bikini he got for me, I stood in front of the mirror admiring it. It was skimpy and scandalous, reminding me of the time I spent in Alex's cage before I was sold to Lucian, but instead of spiraling, it made me feel confi

Naomi PovI sobbed as Lucian left, trying not to get overwhelmed by the guilt I felt. It seemed I had undone weeks of progress by my actions.But I wanted to be sure. How can I trust that he had my best interest at heart if I don't ask? Standing up minutes after he left, I decided to go back to the hotel suite and wait for his arrival. I crouched down to pick up my sandals and the memory of how he held them for me earlier assaulted me. I sighed, berating myself for bringing up my doubts. I slumped on the sofa when I got inside, deciding to wait in the living room. I didn't want him to slip by, and I really wanted to apologize. Now that I was alone and with a clear mind, I thought back to everything that had transpired between us right from the moment we had boarded his private jet to this very moment. He had not even indicated that he wanted to drink my blood at all, and I knew that he had been holding back, because I could still remember that when he first bought me, he drank fr

Naomi PovI fled to my room, my heart thumping in my chest. When I was safely inside, I locked the door as an extra precaution and slumped down against it. Lucian's words kept repeating in my mind. I am a monster, Naomi. Don't think I'm not. The monster is still in me, trying to force its way out, and I'm doing my best to restrain it around you.Silent tears streamed down my cheek as my mind wandered. I knew. I knew he was trying. I saw changes in his behavior. His pained expression while he spoke those words was what pricked my heart.For the first time since the incident at the ball with Vladimir, Lucian looked so helpless. I could swear he was begging me with his eyes for help.A thought sprung into my mind as I stood up sharply and made my way to the bathroom. I needed a shower to wash away the sand from the beach. As the hot water cascaded down my skin, I was determined to help Lucian. I knew there would be times when he would grow weak from trying so hard to be better, and I p

Naomi PovI finally got out of bed the next day after Lucian had almost drained me of blood. I was still weak, but I could move around and the first thing I did when I got out of bed was to go see Emma.Lucian had refused to allow anyone in my room apart from himself, insisting he wanted me to get enough rest without disturbance. Little did he know that his presence always made me restless. But it wasn't because I was scared of him, no, he had proved on more than one occasion that he was a completely different person from the monster I thought he was. The reason I was so restless around him was because he had become so formal with me, keeping his distance as if he feared I would become terrified of him. The playful banter we had the first day at the hotel had long become a memory. It seemed so far away when, actually, it was just two days ago. Now, Lucian interacted with me the way a strict daughter would interact with a suicidal teenage girl. It was annoying, and although I have
