With Megan at my side, we cautiously checked each room on the second floor of the house. It was only my second time going through it so thoroughly. My first time being with Evan just hours earlier when he selected his rooms.
Megan found it odd that I would rent a house and not do an in-depth exploration of all of its charms. Perhaps, it was. Besides the fact that the place gave me an eerie feeling – which I attributed to its size verses occupants- it was more time constraints than lack of interest that kept me from checking out the house, room by room. There always seemed to be something pulling on my time and then, when there wasn’t, I was so tired that all I wanted to do was to find my bed and sleep in it.
I found the house a pleasure to explore, even if it was to search for invaders. The architecture was interesting, and the house was in excellent condition; especially for a building that was an easy century old.
<The following morning Evan appeared at the breakfast table with his apologies for letting the werewolf get the better of him. Megan and I held our breath as we waited for him to say more about what happened afterward, but he left it at the apology.Max was generous with his acceptance of the fact that the intruder turning into a werewolf took us all by surprise. He kept insisting that it was impressive how valiantly Evan fought to begin with, considering the fact that one bite would have killed him.Angela joined us shortly after the conversation shifted to Megan’s kidnapping. Her assurance that Evan wouldn’t remember anything was validated when he showed surprise at learning that the werewolf had made off with her. He was even more surprised to learn that they’d snuck into the house and kidnapped me from my bed. As was Angela, who’d slept soundly through the entire ordeal. When I told her that they’d gagged m
It took Max and his men about twenty minutes to reach us. I used that time to help Megan find something to wear since her nightgown had been torn from her body and to tend to her wound on her head as best as I could. She said that the damage was done while the werewolf carried her out of the window. She hit her head on the frame and ripped open her stitches. Although a terrible thing, it was better than having her tell me that they’d beat her on top of the rape.She surprised me when she told me that she was aware of the beastly side of a vampire. She admitted, though, that she’d never seen it. Nor did she expect I ever would. Her heartfelt apologies brought tears to my eyes.I felt like a baby crying about what happened to me when she’d been kidnapped, repeatedly raped, and was now on her way to werewolfism. Yet, she was keeping her composure. When I asked her how she was able to hold it together so wel
My legs finally failed me, and I slid to the floor. I could see a small pool of blood forming from the bite between my legs while a heavier trail of blood from my neck flowed over my breasts.“Where did he bite you?” she asked with a harsh tone that I chose to ignore.I pointed to my breast, neck, and crotch and she rolled her eyes. “It figures.”She picked me up and carried me to my office as if I weighed nothing. As she laid me down on the examination table, she said, “I’m going to have to heal the wounds with my saliva. Believe me, this will be harder on me than on you.”She buried her mouth over the wound on my neck first, since it was losing the most blood. Then, she moved to the wound in my crotch and worked her saliva over it in a way that I found soothing and comforting. When she was satisfied that there was no sign of his attack, she moved to my breast and did the
The next few weeks were relatively uneventful. Max started an investigation to find the intruder and whoever tampered with our wine bottles. Was it the same person? Or, were separate people out to get us. That being the big question, the even bigger question was … why?I spent my days tending to patients, researching werewolfism, and learning simple magic from Megan. She proved to be a superb assistant in the lab. At times, Evan would join us as well. I began to notice a closeness forming between them that warmed my heart. I’d grown to appreciate and like my introverted boarder. It was nice to see him smiling so much. It was also wonderful to see how happy Megan was. I couldn’t be certain – and I certainly wasn’t going to mention it unless she brought it up – but I was sure that I’d heard her sneaking up to his apartment on more than one occasion on nights that I could
The following morning, I crawled from my bed with the worst headache that I could remember having. My first thought was that I should have had white wine because it contained fewer tannins. Not only did my head ache, but every muscle in my body felt like it had been abused. I found a note from Max on the nightstand saying that he’d been called in to work at pre-dawn and that he would check on me at lunch time.Alone and feeling like crap, I staggered to the bathroom and looked at the tub. Had I taken that bath the night before? I just couldn’t remember. I felt like I needed to cleanse myself - especially my female area – but I didn’t dare wash off the potion. I settled for washing my important parts at the sink.I found some over the counter headache tablets in my medicine cabinet and popped two into my mouth. At the absence of a glass, I leaned over and drank directly from the faucet while I washe
We went to three upscale jewelry stores before we found a ring that we both agreed on. Either Max took Megan’s teasing to heart or he was just a very generous man because the ring he insisted upon getting me was a lot bigger than the modest one I’d chosen and ridiculously expensive. He claimed that diamonds never lost their value, so it was not just a symbol of our love and commitment, it was an investment. I didn’t know how I felt about carrying the responsibility of such an investment on my finger day in and day out, but there was no changing his mind.My romantic man paid for the ring and then got down on one knee before everyone in the store and formally proposed to me. It was touchingly romantic.It was early afternoon, so we decided to take a stroll down through the shopping district and window shop.Max wanted to go wild and purchase things for our new life together, but I wasn’t ready to look at china
