My Vampire’s Temptation 10. Temptress in Blue
DemetriusIt was as if my mouth had a mind of its own. I was meant to turn off the charm, but instead I had actually turned it up a notch. What was with this word vomit I was experiencing and why could I not control myself when it came to this human woman? It was more than disturbing, and yet instead of distancing myself from her I had agreed to a date. Yes, I promised myself this would be the last night, but I had also done more than I thought I would have already. As expected, as soon as Xenia leaves, Avalon bombards me with questions, most of which I have no answers to. Her curious young mind is so excited to be involved in human matters. Even though she’s witnessed enough, I will not reveal the dark thoughts I harbor for Xenia to her, the things I think about doing to her if I ever had her alone. No one could ever know, partially for her own safety, yes, but also, I had a reputation to withhold. I could not be associated with the likes of a human in this way. That was yet another
My Vampire’s Temptation 11. A Painful Rejection
Demetrius“Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight? I’m not sure.” I smile unable to contain my words. I suppose the charm is turned up full throttle, but so be it. I’m not longer fighting it. Whatever happens, happens. One last night. Might as well swan dive headfirst. She blushes again averting my gaze, and I enjoy the way her warmed cheeks look. I love the fact that I throw her off a bit. I need to be in control. I need to hold the power. “You did. But thank you.”“Hmm. So, Xenia, tell me about yourself. As first dates go, I feel like I need to know more about you.” I sip on a glass of wine, and I have to admit I am intrigued. In all of our encounters, I still have yet to learn much about her.“Well, where to start?” She looks up to the left in contemplation tilting her head thoughtfully. “As you already know, I am recently single. I’m a full-time graduate student majoring in child psychology. I’m trained in martial arts and hand-to hand-combat.”Hmm. I am impressed. Beauty
My Vampire’s Temptation 12. A Store Run
XeniaI walk away without turning back as tears begin to blur my vision. This has to be a joke, a nightmare. There’s no way I let my guard down for someone to completely deceive me like this. Did Aiden put him up to this? I half expect someone to pop out with a candid camera, but it never happens. To make matters worse, he hasn’t even come after me. I mean, there was no calming me down now and I wouldn’t listen to anything he has to say. The damage has been done. But he was really just going to allow me to walk away all alone in the middle of the night like this? He drove me here. He knows I have no way home. I’m just in complete shock at his actions. The kiss we shared and the way he made me feel… I thought it was meaningful. Did something happen during our date or had he planned this all along? What had I done wrong? Now I’m analyzing every single thing. No. No. I can’t go there. It wasn’t me. He’s obviously just some sick, sadistic, asshat. Probably one of those predators that gets
My Vampire’s Temptation 13. Clash of the Exes
XeniaI’m sitting down at the table wondering what the hell I’m doing here. What happened to being done? What happened to being strong? The man across me is saying something. I know because his lips are moving, but the words don’t make it to my ears. I sip on my sweet tea while in deep thought staring off into the distance. Okay. So I never turn down a free meal, but what am I thinking? I’ve ignored Aiden for days now and because I happen to have a run-in with him, I allow him to take me out for lunch? I blame HIM, freaking Demetrius. If he wouldn’t have pulled the stunt he did that night, I probably wouldn’t be in this situation. But since he sent the message I ignored, I haven’t heard from him and I can’t lie, it hurts. Not that I was planning on responding if he did reach out, but I want to know that he’s at least bothered by this.How could he be so cold and heartless after the other side he’d shown me? I still can’t get over the fact that I don’t know what happened. That’s one o
My Vampire’s Temptation 14. A New Resolve
DemetriusI’m in another one of my moods again. After that interaction with her, I decide not to go home. I can’t go back to the house that she had just been in days before lying on my couch and in my guest room with her scent sprinkled all over the place like air freshener.I’m in my office back at the mansion of my coven sitting at my desk feeling like I never left intent on killing someone, and Aiden is at the top of my list. I mull over what’s happened the last few days still in a state of disbelief.The evening of our date when I attempted to command her and disappear from her life haunted me. The look in her eyes, the way I watched the desire and need for me change into pure hatred was burned into my mind. I never expected to feel this way. I had been preparing to separate from her, and yet when it happened, the way in which it happened was weighing on me. If I had felt darkness and despair before, it had now been intensified. I knew I could not follow her and pretend like nothi
My Vampire’s Temptation 15. A Mark
XeniaAfter tossing and turning in my bed for what felt like hours, I finally give up. My mind is all over the place. I can’t stop thinking about what happened earlier today.It’s so weird the Demetrius showed up when I was with Aiden. Had he heard what I said to him? I remembered I told Aiden I loved him, but I was about to let him know only as a person and not in that way and that’s when I realized Demetrius was there. It probably looked bad, but why do I even care? He’s the one that tried to play me, right? Maybe it’s best if he did hear it. Then why do I still feel bad? He followed me to the car and the way he pressed up against it made me want him. I hated that I felt that way. The look in his eyes and his words… I don’t know. It felt sincere, and the more I play it back, the more I’m starting to regret walking away from him. Maybe I should have let him explain. Maybe I should text him. What? No, I can’t. I won’t. And I’m sure after what I said, he won’t reach back out. I was
My Vampire’s Temptation 16. What I Want
DemetriusI’m having déjà vu as I rush through the streets with her in my passenger seat unconscious, except this time things are a little different. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t screwed up, she’d never be out there alone at this time of night. I was right. I had sent her over the edge, and I’m sure the little stunt I pulled earlier was the final push. Why else would she be involved in such risky behavior? Walking around alone in the middle of the night as if she had not been attacked just days prior? What was she thinking? I warned her. I told her to be more careful. Dammit. I’m blaming her when I just admitted this was my fault. “Fuck!” I yell slamming my hand against the steering wheel. An equal mix of anger and fear have begun to consume me. Her heart’s beating steadily. She’ll be okay. She’s already healed. That’s not the issue. It’s something else, something bad. So damn bad.I was on my way to her apartment willing to beg for her forgiveness with an overwhelming craving li
My Vampire’s Temptation 17. Turning Fantasy into Reality
DemetriusMy husky response throws her off, but my words have never been truer. I can’t think of anything I’ve ever wanted more. Her eyes widen and suddenly she pulls me down to her meeting my lips in a rough kiss. I’m not expecting the movement, but I react smoothly. There are no other lips I want to feel against mine. I lift her up swiftly sitting her down on top of the bar as she moans into my mouth. Her legs open wide and I’m in between them like it’s my favorite spot pulling her against me tightly. I’m already rock hard, but I can’t just ravage her. I want to take this slow and enjoy every second like it’s my last, because it might just be. My one and only…Her fingers move to my hair pulling tightly as if she doesn’t want to let me go, something she shouldn’t be worried about. I won’t be going anywhere until I have her writhing from pleasure and screaming my name. But first, she has too many clothes on and I need them gone. I need to see her.I pull back to remove her hoodie an
