A Vampire's Promise

Touch was the first one of my senses that came back to me as I woke up. The fabulous, smooth silk material was beneath my fingers before my eyes even registered where I was. I felt the material beneath my cheek and groaned at the feeling.The second thing I realized when I opened my eyes, was that I was in a room, presumably one of the rooms from the hotel from the familiar interior. I had spent many hours in these sorts of rooms cleaning up after guests to not recognize it when I saw it.However, the main object of the room, and the only thing that was not familiar to me, was the handsome man sitting in a black leather chair next to my bed. His legs were spread apart, and his forearms rested against his thighs.His head was slightly bent up as he looked at me from his hunched position. Every caliber of my being screamed at me to flee. He was looking at me like I might do just that too. Green eyes stared down at me with a predatory gaze, and dark black hair fell on his forehead a

I woke up not three hours later due to noises coming from outside of my bedroom. It sounded like chattering and then shuffling. Just as I sat up, they disappeared. A part of me wondered if it was Sol making noises in the kitchen. I was surprised to see a human woman. She was ransacking the cupboards with a piece of bread in her mouth, and we both froze as we saw each other."Um, hello?" the brown-haired woman greeted me as her equally hazel eyes gave a cautious look. The woman was beautiful, no doubt, and made me fidget slightly in her gaze. Sol had mentioned his family could visit, but this woman in front of me was definitely human. "Hello…" I replied cautiously. "Who… Who are you?" Was she a woman Sol had brought here for the night? Thinking of it, I suddenly felt irritable and restless."Hahaha, I could ask you the same question." The woman laughed as she walked toward the counter in the middle of the kitchen and sat on top with food in her hands. "It isn't like Sol to hav

Grocery shopping with a pure-blooded vampire was a strange and kind of interesting experience. My hands were settled on my hips as I stared at Sol, who was currently scanning each ingredient printed on the packaging of the products. He touched everything I placed into the grocery cart, from vegetables to canned goods, as though it were the first time he had been to the store. "Not that one," he told me as he took a sweet melon from my hands and replaced it with a smaller one. "It doesn't smell fresh. It might as well be categorized as the undead."Although I couldn't begrudge him when selecting the fruits, he had helped me pick out the freshest ones due to his enhanced sense of smell."Fine." I furrowed my eyebrows at him but took his preferred choice anyway. I had protested as we walked on, but he only winked at me and tapped his nose. I rolled my eyes because I didn't understand the meaning of his action but let it go.I admitted pure-blooded vampires' sense of smell was

Mia's POVSol and I sat in comfortable silence for a while. Sol tapped away at his laptop, and I had busied myself with preparing my dinner. The silence wasn't broken until I stopped sorting out the minced meat and turned around to face Sol."Do you think there will be more hunters?" I asked him cautiously. I noticed Sol staring at his screen for a moment before looking at me. The look in my eyes must have given him some hints to how I felt because the next thing he did was power down his screen and put down the device."Are you worried?" he asked, and I nodded my head. "It just seemed like..." I shook my head since I tried to wrap my thoughts around the situation. "He just came out of nowhere, you know?"When I turned my head to meet Sol's gaze, I realized he didn't have the same thought as I did."Honestly, I knew his presence before he showed up." I was shocked by his words. He sighed and stood up. "I didn't know that man in particular, but I was aware the local orga

Mia's POV"You should leave," I whispered to Sol as I eyed the clock on my nightstand. The two of us were still laying entangled in my bed. It had been about an hour after he had come. "Five more minutes," Sol grumbled as he tightened his grip around my waist. "I remembered you have some business things to deal with. When?" I asked him when he didn't respond to me. He only grunted in response. When I pinched his side, he rolled over slightly and answered."I can move my plan to later or even tomorrow," he told me immediately. I felt his arms tighten around me. I huffed a laugh at his antics. I felt the way he brought his nose to my neck and listened to the pulse beating there. "You have to go," I told him as I pushed his head away. "You can't ignore your responsibilities." "I think it would be irresponsible of me to leave you alone, you know, in your stricken state," Sol said softly. I only rolled my eyes at him."My stricken state?" I mocked his answer by repeating i
