ICY - Chapter 17 - Counting Down the Seconds
Minutes earlier...
Under the Master’s order, Jerome fetched the Vitalis doctor again from her laboratory. Mera immediately knew why. The odd couple were going to New Zealand by tomorrow and most likely, her Master was getting impatient with the cure of his so-called attacks.
Truth be told, she was working like crazy to find it, but it wasn’t just that easy. She needed both Science and Medicine to come up with an answer, and even that not-so-common Metaphysics too. They were vampires after all. Everything was out-of-the-ordinary for them.
If she were to be honest with herself, she’d say Cord had given her another absurd task along with one other previously requested. It was to find a cure for their curse without requiring Amanda’s blood sacrifice. She hadn’t gone far into her research with that one. It was a challenge and one that she was willing to take. After all

Amanda and Cord’s plane landed twenty-five hours after at the Wellington International Airport. It was an arduous flight, one that he definitely disliked but being at the Premium Class of the plane at least lessened the stress of flying.The last time Cord was in New Zealand, it was over seven hundred years ago via a galleon ship. He was on a rampage then. He stepped out of the ship with all the crew and passengers sucked of blood. Mera, Calvin and Pamela were with him to handle the damage.It was the one story he disliked to share when Amanda asked, wanting to kill time during their flight.Once they arrived, they headed straight to Heather’s pre-booked hotel, the Wellington Best Point Hotel. It was the one nearest to Amanda’s house, at least a thirty-five minute walk.After check-in, Amanda met Noman at a cafe near her house some time past ten in the morning with her luggage in to

“What?” Amanda’s step-father unconsciously stood up from the table with his mouth agape. He glanced at Noman who bobbed his head confirming the news and then he looked back at Amanda, his brows knotting.A moment of silence filled the dining room. Amanda waited for her step-father to speak, to finish processing the life-changing news that she had ever so gently bombarded. She already knew he’d support whatever decision she chose. It was just a matter of soaking it all in.“You should tell your mother about your decision, Caitlin. I bet she’ll feel lonely when you leave,” was her step-father’s calm words, breaking the silence.She watched him claim his seat again and drink the ready glass of water near his plate.“She’ll always be in my heart, Dad,” she stated, touching his free hand, “and also, I can always come visit anytime if
I THIRST FOR YOU ICY - Chapter 20 - Crave for You
Cord grabbed a nearby chair and steadied himself as his muscles undulated painfully under his skin. Despite burying them deeply inside his mind, visions of his transformation into a dark one and his rampage in the past started appearing along with the seizures.It started off as a single memory of when he was once human. He was sleeping soundly, in the realm of dreams when midnight hit the clock. In his thirtieth birthday the curse would begin, that was what the witch, Eloise, said and indeed, it happened.First, Cord’s mesmerizing bluish-green eyes had changed into obsidian. He groaned, clawing his naked chest as he felt his insides tearing him up apart. His skin, already a pale complexion, turned even paler, all manner of color drained from its pigments.Second, his human heart stopped beating. He could feel the fibers shrinking, tightening until it lay dead like a stone.In int

Under the moonlit night, Cord watched over Amanda as she slept. The door to the bedroom was open, but he didn’t enter. Instead, he decided to stay on the balcony, observing a reasonable distance away from her.He had cooled down the heat in his body in a mountain some kilometers of distance away from the O’Malley house. He had punched a lot of trees, kicked a number of boulders into pieces, and even resorted to using his hands, beating his erection to the point where all his pent-up sexual tension was released.Once done, he was back to having a clearer mind, but he knew he couldn’t fool himself. He still wanted her and that want was ever a burning flame.Until he’d find a solution to his problem, he’ll have to continue drawing a line between the two of them. Amanda’s safety was his top priority after all.When morning came, he waited for her to wake up before he e

As expected, the door to Cord’s suite was locked, but Amanda wasn’t concerned. She rummaged through her sling clutch bag and looked for the card key, silently thanking herself she didn’t leave it on the table earlier. She found it seconds later, the extra one she took after they checked in the other day. She held it against the automatic lock and after a beep, the door opened.What greeted her when she entered the room was Cord, on his knees, his elbows and forehead touching the foot of the bed. If anything, it looked like he was praying, but Amanda knew better. He was in pain and possibly even in the middle of fighting his dark side from emerging.She heard him grunt and groan, saw him heave and clench his fists to the point that his knuckles turned white. His profile was a picture of agony and torture, and her heart sank for him.Why didn’t he tell her he was suffering all this time? Here she wa

Three consecutive knocks on the thick door informed Amanda that Noman had arrived. She opened it without delay and led him inside. She studied the reaction on his face when he entered, expecting it to be priceless.It was.“What did you do to Master Vitalis?” Noman turned around and shot her a stunned look. The cracked wall was screaming for his attention and it was enough for him to tell there was fighting earlier.Amanda managed to act coyly before answering, “I may have used my powers on him, Dom.”“What?” he blurted out. “Why?” Then, labile as he was with his mood, a grin formed on his lips then. “Did you use your powers to do kinky stuff?”“What? No!” Amanda cried out, feeling suddenly embarrassed, but his teasing was a good distraction to lessen the grave mood in the room.“La

Amanda didn’t take Matteo’s offer to drive her to the restaurant. Instead, she asked her step-father if she could borrow a car from the large garage they had in the building. Mr. Arnold allowed it and gave her the only car exempted in the contract: a red Camarro that had been his first automobile when he established the Company. It had sentimental value.With a grin, Amanda took the keys from the front desk and drove it out of the building like a professional race car driver she was. The restaurant Matteo picked was located a few miles away from the office. It was mostly surrounded with lush green trees and had a breathtaking view of the city.When she arrived at the entrance, a valet took her keys and drove the car out into the parking lot. Matteo was already waiting in the foyer when Amanda waltzed in. He had two sparkling wine in hand, the first one he offered to her accompanied with a dashing grin.&ldquo

“Where am I?” Blinking a few times, Amanda took in every detail of the room: the light fixtures, the color of the walls, the furniture and the carpet. Indeed, she wasn’t in Cord’s hotel room or even in her own bedroom and this brought her pulse working double time.She sat up straight, frowning, immediately knowing what this exactly meant.“Oh no, ” she said, clenching her teeth. “Matteo just wasted what little trust I have for him.”Luckily, he had the sense to leave her clutch bag on a bedside table. She rushed to take it and pulled out her cell phone from the secret chamber.“No signal, great, ” she huffed after unlocking her phone screen. Calling Noman now would have been a good idea. Not like he could save her from being imprisoned inside a house again, but calling him about the status of the Vitalis Master would have been vital. The ti
