Taking tiny sips of the specially formulated wine for vampire's, which he had made himself for vampire's like him who didn't feast on human blood, Roman dwelt on the recent incident.The vampire's wine in his hands tasted differently today, and he blamed it on the woman in his guest bedroom. Now that he had caught on to fresh blood, he was afraid his desires would never die down until he once again had a taste of real blood."Dammit!" He swore out loudly, causing a few of his subordinates to look in his direction, "Why did she have to drop that glass?""You don't look okay," His best friend and partner, Lark, looked at him curiously. "Why are you pissed?""Nothing." Roman shrugged, "I just feel that I have a lot of problems going on around me that I can't find a solution to."Lark nodded in understanding. It was a problem when you were below class. It also became a problem when you belonged to class, especially for a sourdre de sang.Lark wondered how Roman had done it though. Being a
"Aiiiiii Shh." Roman grabbed his forehead in total amusement. "You need to stop making a caricature of yourself."Emily couldn't believe he had used the word 'caricature,' on her. Smiling sweetly, she gave him a piercing look."Tell me where my dam**n phone is or I'll show you what a real caricature of oneself looks like." She seethed."In Damians name, woman!! You curse too much!!" Roman was beyond frustrated now, "How can you even be called a lady?"Lark nodded in agreement. "Well, if you just tell me where my fuc**ken phone is, I wouldn't cuss at you." Truly, she only used curse words when she was in a fixed and tight position. Especially one like this where she stood alone against two strange men, who towered above her both in height and width.Even with the distance between them, Emily was sure that if the one in gray hair decided on it, he would have her crushed below him.How could he be built so sturdily?"You could ask nicely." The lanky one advised.Emily gave him her full
"Emily is gonna go berserk when she wakes up. She's gonna want to know everything!" Lauren complained bitterly.She would rather do nothing but sit in a particular spot for an hour trying to plan out the perfect answer for Emily when she woke up.This was all Roman's fault. He hadn't bothered to tell her anything even when he knew she was filing a missing person report to every Media. If only he'd let her know!!If he wasn't her boss, Lauren would have, for sure, used a cord to wipe him on his neck, but he was her boss and even wiping or doing anything to hurt him was useless, because Roman was immune.It was the way he acted so unconcerned that pained her the most. He and those his longs would just go about his daily duties like he hadn't just started world war two while she was supposed to keep up with him. The stiletto she wore was hurting already and all Lauren wanted to do was tell him to stop walking, instead, she struggled to keep up pace with him. Staring at the back of his h
"It happened so fast." Emily paused for a few seconds, "I was almost done for the day, and then this man came..""He asked me if he could come in, even after I had asked him in and that was when I recalled what you had said. Lauren, I ran inside as fast as I could and shut the door firmly but when I got into my workspace, he was there. Sitting on my chair so comfortably."The scene she had witnessed kept replaying in her head and wouldn't stop. And there was the guilt she felt that kept tugging at her heart.If she hadn't ordered pizza. Only if she hadn't." …..the next thing I know, Peter is dead, and I was all scrunched up in a corner, waiting for him to snap my head off but I woke up and found myself in Transylvania. How could so much happen in one night?" Emily asked, curiosity laced in her tone. "All I can think of now is what he had thought or had he any thoughts?"Lauren had urged her to use the bathroom immediately when she opened her eyes. She said it would help in calming d
"Lauren told me you are a doctor." Emily eyed him skeptically. "She said you could give me a cure for cancer and that's the only way I would accept your offer.""She did? You must really be close to each other." Roman smiled with an upturned lips."We are!" Emily said in a high pitched tone that didn't come out right.Roman sauntered over to a table and sat halfway on it. "We're not fighting. There's no need to raise your voice.""Sorry." She replied, "I didn't mean to sound like that."He shrugged.She wasn't the most beautiful, but she had this aura about her that appealed to him. Her gait was defiant and the way she squared her shoulders and stood up straight, told him so many things about her.She was defiant.He hadn't gone too close to her yet but he was sure he towered over her by a little inches. Where he was muscular she was very tiny.Roman sighed."So what's the deal?" Emily asked, sounding impatient.It was like she couldn't wait to get out of his sight or for him to get
"Such an egoist!" Emily muttered under her breath."I heard you!" Roman smirked." If you didn't, you would be surprised." Emily shrugged, "because it was meant to be heard."Roman scoffed and began walking in the opposite direction towards the exit "So when do we start?" Emily asked, causing him to halt."I'm ready, even now." Roman replied."I don't have my tools." Emily raised her brows, "And we need an empty room.""You can use my office, and about the tools;" Roman told her, "just say the words and they'd be available at your disposal."Emily's brows rose a bit higher questioningly, but she chose to say nothing. "Let me know when you're up to it." Roman told her.The earlier she attended to him, the more advantageous it was for her. First, she would get a cure which excited her, even by barely thinking about it and second, she would get out of here and resume her normal life. She was certain that the whole office was worried about her."What do you say about this afternoon?" Sh
Painful groans could be heard from the dark alley as two young men pummel blows with their hands and ferocious kicks with their legs at the man lying helplessly on the floor.The young man on the floor hugged his tummy tightly to protect it from the legs that threw kicks at it even though it was visibly useless.His nose was broken and his lips cut, as he continuously spat out blood. "I'm sorry!" He pleaded in what was an almost inaudible voice."What are you sorry for?" An entirely different voice asked authoritatively.It was a lady.She was dressed in an all black attire with leather pants and a fancy denim jacket. She wore a cowboy's hat that was tipped forward, over her head, carefully hiding her face.Her boots spotted six inch long heels and she held a cane in her hand which she swung.On hearing the voice, the victim groupled at her feet, his hands still supporting his left ribs."Ms. Rose." He said weakly, trying to hold onto her feets as the blows continued coming in."Stop!
Grabbing a drink from a tray as it passed by him, Roman maneuvered through the crowd of bodies that were either grinding or rocking against each other to get to Rose.It was an uneasy feeling; one of the reasons he hated public gatherings. There was always a mix of Cologne that was too harsh and strong, body odors and the conversations he felt were unnecessary.Not that all the conversations were unnecessary, but some. People always wanted to know how you were doing, if you're a woman, the number of ladies in your harem and if you had any new additions. And there were those that just needed updates about your life.All those weren't conversations that tripped him. He preferred to talk about things that mattered and were important."Sorry." He apologized to the lady he bumped into but she just smiled and winked at him invitingly.Roman grinned back at her. It wasn't an acknowledgement of her enticing offer or anything, it was his way of saying he wasn't interested in her Nicely.Lost i
