“Excuse me, Miss Cait, Mistress Heather is here to see you, ” Dayana informed an hour after Noman reluctantly left. He and Amanda had discussed about many things while he stayed. One of which included his first party in the castle where he mysteriously fell into an inebriated state with unexplained bruises on his wrist and chest. They had deduced that it was because of a vampire, but couldn’t be sure then.
Another was the murder case and how long it will be resolved. They both knew she couldn’t stay in the castle anymore longer. Her life was at stake even if the Master promised she’d be safe. To solve the case would be the best chance she’d get in leaving.
The third topic they discussed was the real attack Amanda experienced two nights ago. Noman knew it was just caused by a drunkard. She had to explain that it was a vampire attack and make him feel less...scared with it just as she was trying to be. Aside
Amanda used all of her strength as Cord continued his onslaught. She tried pushing him away, his face the first target and then his chest with both a failure.He reigned over her. Cord chained her wrists with only one hand, pressed them in between their chests while the other grabbed her head to keep it from moving.He didn’t encounter any difficulty with these, unlike Amanda who was slowly losing hope.Mouth on mouth, she couldn’t clearly breathe enough to shout the word stop. A couple of letters managed to escape:“Co-”“Cor--”“--rd”But never his full name.How could such a kiss from an enemy feel like this? she thought. The wanton. The craze. The hotness of it. Her one-kiss experience with Matteo could never compare to it. Cord’s kiss was just so, so sweetly c
Amanda lifted a brow. “You are joking right?” she said, casting him a look of disbelief. If she weren’t in a house full of vampires, she would have thought this as the most incredulous information she had received.“No, I am not Cait, ” Matteo answered, raising the crystalline white rose to prove his point and to add to his claim of being a mage, he changed the shape of the long-stemmed rose.From his right palm, there appeared a soft yellow-bluish light. It enveloped the whole rose and in a blink of an eye, it changed into a ring - a jaw-dropping one complete with diamonds on its band and in the center, the crystal white rose.Amanda’s jaw didn’t drop however. She controlled herself from doing it and instead stepped back, acting unconcerned with the tantalizing object that may or may not be an engagement ring to seal her mother’s promise.“All th
POV: Amanda I felt him tug the front zipper of my blouse. I didn’t stop him. Well, what for when I myself yearned for us to be one. Maybe it’ll be a wrong move in the end, but heck, I couldn’t care less of the consequences after. Aside from Cord’s presence making me feel complete, his touch and kisses were just too good to pass. Too delicious not to taste. Though I’m inexperienced with the desires of the body, yes, I knew that my body wanted him. Not any other man, but only him. I’m probably the craziest witch right now for allowing the master of vampires to bed me, but to hell be it. My decision was already cemented and threaded in every fiber of my being. Our status as enemies all but set aside. My blouse finally opened, showing the valley of my breasts quaking for him. My lacy brassiere had the color of black and yellow. I highly doubt he could see, but by the looks of the upward curve of his mouth, I knew then he w
“Gross.”Calvin cringed as he watched the Vitalis Master walk into his throne after he materialized in the middle of the hall. He expected the same stony face from Cord even at five in the morning. Never had he thought that this would meet him: Cord, in his usual sharp eyes and dapper clothes, but his aura was a little...lighter and he had an interesting grin on his face.“You look disgustingly happy this early morning, Cord. What happened huh? You got a boner?” Calvin inquired once the Vitalis Master sat with his back too relaxed.Cord shot him a glare and as if he had just noticed the change within himself, he straightened from his seat and squared his shoulders.“Hell, Calvin. Please don’t break my good mood,” he growled low.“Tsk. You did get a boner,” Calvin muttered to himself, grinning widely. He sat on the sofa down th
~ Rexcord ~“Mmmh,” Amanda answered and I took it as a yes.Without delay, I claimed her mouth, ravished her lips that was craving for my attention. Our tongues danced, twisted and curled against each other like what Mother Nature designed.No hesitation. No awkwardness. Nothing.Boldly, she inserted her hands in between us to palm my chest and probably to feel if I had a heartbeat hiding there.Unfortunately, there was none. That faint muscle working last night had died the moment I regained my blindness. A rather surprising development that needed answers, I know, but for now, I’ll have to defer asking it.I had a more pressing matter to do and that was to give her my birthday gift. What that would be depends if she’ll spread her legs.I hope she’ll spread her le
Castle Vitalis, Province of Liège, Belgium(Year 1012)“Don’t...you...touch me,” a woman sitting in a cushioned chair stated. It was with so much disgust that the man standing in her front gave out a pained expression.“Léa...” He reached again, aiming to touch her shuddering shoulders but stopped when she yelled.“I said don’t touch me!” Her eyes bore a look of hate, of anger and disappointment to the man who just betrayed her trust. “Don’t you dare put your filthy, adulterous hand on me!”Tears rolled down from her eyes and probably the millionth time that night after hearing of her husband’s illicit affair from a family friend.“I made a mistake.” The man knelt in front of her, scooping up her trembling hands and kissing it so
Birthdays.Birthdays, being a joyous occasion, should be celebrated with a smile, but to Amanda, it never came.Well, it did, when Arissa, Dayana, Lady Granger and Sir Jerome greeted her a ‘happy birthday’ later that evening, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. It was dull. Incomplete. Lifeless.She managed to thank them one by one, putting a face that masked the disturbance in her heart; showing as if she was excited for the coming visit of her friends, Noman and Matteo, and a group dinner with Pamela and Heather. And somehow, she seemed to fool them.She had mauled on the facts after her little quarrel - or if it was even called one - with Cord from morning ’til afternoon. Mauled on it over and over again, but as a result, it only gave herself a headache and another batch of questions.Who was the witch that cursed his family? That cursed him?&n
Castle Vitalis Garden PondFive days agoA crack of lightning appeared some distance away from where Amanda stood. It was so strong and loud, but it didn’t divert her focus on the man that continued to close in on her.Steady were his footsteps, simply bidding his time, just like some sick old lion stalking its prey. But to Amanda it was an advantage. It gave her an enough time to plan her escape. It gave her the time to evoke the witch blood within her.Her mother always told her that their kind had natural abilities. Powers that they can use even though they haven’t reached their twenty-fifth birthdays yet. Unfortunately, her mother didn’t get the chance to teach her how to summon it. A sure disadvantage indeed.Though Amanda still doubted she had an ability, it was her best choice to fight off the man who certainly eyed her l
