Chapter 31: Moving In With Him

Verena Layton“Verena…”“Verena…”“Poor bird…”“Will your boyfriend come to save you?”“Your man killed our boss!”“Don’t you dare to touch her!”“You are too smart for your own good, little human. I am sorry.”My eyes flash open. Unfamiliar ceiling. Unfamiliar colours. “Rena? You are awake!?” Julia’s voice reverberates. I blink, staring at the ceiling. All I remember I was kidnapped while returning from my part-time job. The doomed warehouse. How am I hearing my bestie’s voice?“Verena?” Lorcan’s deep voice this time. “Are you alright?”Am I hearing things?I turn my head to the side to find a worried Julia, sitting on my right and a concerned Lorcan crouching on my left. “Make a way, idiots.” Orlo pushes past Lorcan and Julia, shoving them out of their way like tearing a loaf of bread you would like to share with your sibling. “Verena, how are you feeling?” He sits beside me with his usual grin. “If you are wondering where these wonderful but good-for-nothing pastel walls are fr

Chapter 32: Drunk

Verena Layton“Son of a bit- no.” I do not say bad words.I shake my head, sitting in the drawing room. I am sitting on a cloud. Kidding. I am sitting on a royal fluffy mattress. I don't know where he bought this level of fluff thing, but it definitely doesn't seem ordinary. At a certain point, I was convinced that he had robbed some 18th-century palace and bought this exquisite thing here. I look up. The TV's big screen is displaying a romantic scene from a romantic drama series I am binge-watching. I sigh. Romantic. Dreamy. And everything I expect in my dry arse love life. But don’t get any. I empty another can of booze straight into my stomach. This jerk isn’t making it easy for me to cope with his behaviour swings. Ever since I arrived here, he has kept avoiding me like the plague. We never had a proper conversation after that night. Whenever I go to catch him, he is either busy or absent from home. I don’t know what is keeping him so busy that he cannot bother to return hom

Chapter 33: She Likes Me

Lorcan JudsonMy breathing hitches. Her sweet scent hits my nose, assaulting my senses even before the booze’s smell could reach me. Alluring. I tasted her blood once, and I was almost out of control. I won’t make the same mistake twice. I cannot afford it. Because if I sink my fangs into her delicate neck for the second time, I won’t be able to go back. I won’t be able to let her go.I won’t be able to control myself. I won’t be able to pretend that this is nothing but ‘repayment’. “Lorcan!” Her lips quiver invitingly. “What is it?” I cradle her face gently, afraid she might cry if I reject her in this state. “Why do you always do that?” She leans in. Don’t. Don’t come this close to me. I am on the verge of giving in. I don’t know if I will sink my fangs into her neck or capture her lips. “Do what?” My voice comes out strained instead of controlled. “Pull me closer and then push me away?” A shudder passes through my spine as her thumbs move in circles at my nape. My fingers

Chapter 34: Confession

Verena LaytonThe blinding lights force me to open my eyes. Is it morning already? I groggily prop myself on my elbows. No sooner have I tried to sit than a splitting headache attacks me. Gosh! It hurts. I clutch my head and sit up. What the heck did I do last night to suffer this pain? Wait! Suddenly, a series of events from last night flashes in my mind like a movie. My headache is forgotten for a moment; my hand flies to my mouth. “I fucking confessed to Lorcan and kissed him!!!” “You did.” I freeze. That voice. The voice that I want to hear the least now. My head slowly swivels at the source of the sound. My breathing hitches at the sight that welcomes me. Lorcan is sitting in my room, reading a book. His hair is mussed and down, unlike his usual updo. He looks…handsome and approachable. “W-what are you doing here-ugh!” A searing flash of pain shoots through my head. “Easy there, woman.” Lorcan uncovers a bowl, and a pleasant aroma of soup fills the air. “Freshen up and ha

Chapter 35: Late Night Walk

Lorcan Judson“Wait.” Julia rubs the corners of her eyes, distressed. “So, you are telling me, Lorcan, and you are…a couple now?” She spits the last words like venom.“Yes.” Verena grins goofily, circling her small hand around my biceps. “Oh, my God! This is bomb news!” Amara claps her hands loudly. “That's a news brother.” Orlo grins; his hand rests around Amara’s shoulders. “All the best, you two.” Dylan blesses like an old soul.Since the kidnapping incident, our dynamics have changed a huge deal. Verena and I became a couple. Orlo and Amara, though, keep saying that they are best friends. I can clearly smell situationship between them. Dylan and Julia strangely seem to get along, though Julia shows open hatred towards us vampire brothers. “Come on now.” Verena nudges her best friend. “Smile a bit, will you? It's my first relationship after all. “And that too with a Judson.” Julia rolls her eyes before glaring at me. “You have my word, Julia Boone. If she gets hurt because of

Chapter 36: He is a VAMPIRE!

Verena LaytonI sit on the couch in the drawing room, munching on chips. Something is greatly wrong in my love life. Lorcan is an absolute Prince Charming. He brings me flowers every day, treats me like a delicate princess, and showers me with unconditional love. He eagerly ticks off my bucket list. But. He won't touch me!All we do is kiss. He never runs his hand above my waist or below it. His lips never travel to my neck or below. For example, yesterday, he was literally devouring me. Kissing me like I am his oxygen, running his big, rough hands around my waist, pressing me into him pleasantly. I lowered my inhibitions and let him take the next step. But he stopped just before his lips could end up on the sensitive spot on my neck. He pulled away and smiled at me warmly. Kissing me goodnight, he spooned me and cuddled me. That was all! I was aroused as hell, and he couldn't even tell that! It's as if he knowingly keeps his distance in this particular matter. But what hits m

Chapter 37: Drinking Her Bl00d

Lorcan Judson“No!” Those words roll off my tongue before my mind can process her words. “Never. I can never harm you.” A serene smile blooms on her face. No! Don’t smile at me like that! I cannot take it. My fangs are aching for your blood. I can feel them grazing on my lower lip. I stumble back, desperately trying to keep distance between us. “Please go.” I clutch my chest hard, my nails digging in. Even the pain isn’t helping. She stands up and takes long strides. “What are you-”She pushes me to the floor by my shoulders and straddles me, planting her knees on either side of me. My breath hitches. Too close. Too damn close. Her sweet scent is making me go dizzy. Bite her. Bite her. Have a taste.You have tasted her blood before.You need it again.BITE HER!I dig my nails on my thighs. I cannot hold her. If I touch her, I am doomed. I will drag her down with me, and I will never do that. “Lorcan, I am giving you permission to drink my blood.” Verena’s soft touch on my chee

Chapter 38: First Time (18+)

Lorcan Judson“Verena…” I take a deep breath. “See, my love, we are gonna take a cold shower, hm?”“Why?” Her brows scrunch up adorably. Her arms snake around my nape. “Lorcan…” She straddles me even more, pressing herself completely against me. “Kiss me.”“You aren't in your right mind.” I hold her elbows firmly, trying to pull her back. But surprisingly, she has a much stronger hold for a woman for her build. “I am in my right mind.” She pulls me closer, her lips hovering over mine. Her thumb brushes over my lips. “Your lips are soft. I want to kiss them.”That last sentence sucked the air out of my system. She is effortlessly flirtatious and definitely sexy. “Don't,” I warn. “Why?” She pouts, pulling away enough to see my face. “Can't I even kiss my own boyfriend? Who are you to stop me?”CRACKThe wall of my patience finally cracks. I pull her into a kiss. She hums into the kiss, and my wall of patience breaks completely. My hand travels to her lower back and pulls in even mo

Chapter 39: Conversations

Verena LaytonMy eyes open at the waft of eggs and bread. I have always been a huge fan of eggs. No matter what style it's cooked- steamed, boiled, fried, omurice, egg soup, anything; any egg dish is fine. My body sits up in an autopilot mode.Lorcan is cooking for me? It smells so good. I slide out of bed as usual. But what isn't usual is that I collapse on the floor as soon as my feet touch the floor like a mermaid!“Damn!” I groan.The door slams, and Lorcan rushes in. “Verena? What are you doing on the floor?” He crouches in front of me. “I was trying to get up, but my legs are all jelly!” “My bad.” He lifts me in his arms and places me back on the bed. “I was too rough on you yesterday. How are you feeling, my love?” He sits beside me. “Too sore?”“A bit sore.” I sigh. “But I cannot deny it felt amazing.” I grin, wrapping my arms around his waist.“Is that so?” A soft smile plays on his lips as he kisses the top of my nose softly. “Let's get you refreshed.”Before I can say

Chapter 40: Epilogue

Lorcan JudsonI fix my tie for the umpteenth time. “Brother, you look good.” Orlo rolls his eyes.“To think the first one among us to be married is Lorcan!” Dylan grins, sitting on the couch. “You look good, Lorcan. Your wife will love this.”“You sure?” I look at my reflection in the mirror again.“Why are you so nervous?” Orlo smirks. “It's not like you haven't dated her, or it's the first time you are seeing her.” “To think our crown prince will be this nervous on this wedding day.” Dylan nudges the younger one. “I am not nervous.” I lie blatantly. To be honest, I am nervous. My inner self is trembling like an autumn leaf. Finally, I am going to become her husband, and she will be my wife. Forever. Just that mere thought runs a thrill through my body. It has been 2 years since Verena and I started dating. Oh! Flash news: three of us aren’t bachelors anymore. I am getting married to Verena. Julia and Dylan officially declared they are a couple, and so did Orlo and Amara. We al
