Dante's POVA week laterI had a surprise planned for him. I couldn't wait for him to see it. It had taken me a week to have this ready for him.I had kept it a secret so it would be a surprise for him. Ever since my random proposal in the club, he's been slightly distant.I saw him space off whenever he was alone. He'd fade off into a world only he inhabited. I felt guilt.I should never have brought up marriage. I don't even know why I did that.I mean, I wasn't even a fan of marriage myself. It was just something that I blurted out loud without thinking.I was just in the moment, and staring at his beautiful face had me wanting to keep it as mine forever.It was a combination of a lot of things that I now deeply regret because whatever it was, I now regretted it deeply.God.Dante Abyss.You've wanted this your whole life. You've waited for centuries to have it. You better not fucking ruin it.I had been working from home and staying with Christopher since he turned, because I knew
Christopher's POV"Let's go home," he whispered against my lips, and I smiled."Which of the homes? We were living in the penthouse before that was cut short, and now we're back in the manor," I whispered, and he chuckled, resting his forehead against mine."Well, you became a vampire, so everything changed," he responded, tracing his finger along my jawline.I pouted at him."I really enjoyed staying at the penthouse," I whispered, and he smiled."Really?" he asked as his fingers traced down to my collar."Yeah, I mean, I love the manor, don't get me wrong. I love the manor when it's filled with people. It's like this huge family home. I enjoy that, but I like the penthouse because it's more personal, more private. I can see you," I explained and frowned slightly."We have to stay away from the sunlight because of your sensitivity to the sun, and the manor provides that protection. The penthouse is more windows than anything." He sounded like he was mad at himself and the house for b
Dante's POVTrying to trick me into bringing my guard down was a new one I didn't expect him to do that. He was very stubborn in his desire not to lose to me, and I liked it.I also liked the way he was pressed face-first against the wall as punishment for trying to cheat.“Dante,” he called to me, and I just bent further into him, bringing my face to his shoulder so I could whisper in his ear.“What’s wrong, Sunshine? Do you want this?” I asked, pressing my crotch harder into him.He gasped and swallowed but didn’t say anything.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let go of me,” he protested, and I just chuckled.“I don’t know… Don’t you think it’s already too late for that?” I asked, pressing harder into him.I let my other hand the one not holding his hands together wander.I slipped it into his shirt and trailed my way up until my hand came out the other side.I grabbed his chin and turned it to face me before planting a kiss on him.He whimpered as I pulled away and made my
Christopher's POV He pulled away from the kiss with a proud, smug smile on his face. I gave him a suspicious look. "Why do I feel like you did that on purpose?" I asked him, and he burst out laughing. He tugged me by my shirt, pulling me into the hallway that led to the back alley. "So what if I did that on purpose? What are you going to do to me?" he asked with a very smug smile, pushing me against the wall and pressing his body against mine. "I don't know," I bit my lips, and he smiled. "You don't?" he asked, and I gave him a look as he traced his fingers across my lips. "Hmm, let me think," he whispered, pressing harder into me. I was soon squished between the wall and his solid body. He leaned in, pressing his forehead against mine and looking into my eyes. I smiled at him, unable to keep it together, and he smiled back. "You know we haven't gotten someone for you to feed from," I whispered. "Yeah. I was scouting for someone, but I couldn't find any. Maybe we'll go into t
Dante's POV I walked back into the club and made my way to the bartender. I didn't like leaving Christopher alone in the alleyway, but I also knew he wouldn't leave those two women there on their own. He could take care of himself against most humans now. It would take a lot to kill him, and that gave me a sense of relief, knowing I could leave him on his own and not have to fear losing him forever. I slid into my stool at the bar and signaled to the bartender. He walked over and leaned over the bar. "There are two unconscious women in the alley with Christopher. He drank a little too much and their memories are wiped. Get them back home and clean everything up," I instructed him, and he nodded. He reached for the landline behind him to make a call, and soon a group of vampires were making their way to the alley. I looked around the bar. I was hungry myself. I hadn't been able to get my usual sips from Christopher, and I didn’t drink much from the human women either. I needed
Christopher's POVI moved toward the bar with a proud smile on my face. I slid onto a stool at the bar and waited.Dante slid beside me and placed his arm on the bar, turning to me."Cheeky little brat," he whispered, and I bit down my smile, looking away."Come on, look at me," he whispered to me, and I turned, rolling my eyes at him. He gave me a look, smiling at my lips.I licked them and held his gaze. He held mine too, and the room seemed to thicken and grow calmer.The air was electrifying, anticipating more."So, what do you want to order?" the bartender interrupted us, and we both looked to him."I'll have a whiskey sour," Dante said, placing both hands on the counter."And you, sir?" the bartender turned to me, and I smiled."I'll have a water," I said, and Dante chuckled beside me.The bartender gave me a look and moved away."Water?" Dante asked with a raised brow, mocking."I don't want to taste whatever that was again," I responded, remembering how the Coke had tasted. It
