Forbidden Thirst (Crimson Shadows Book #1) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Getting up to the Uni went well. As soon as I got off the bus, Sarah rushed over to me."So how did the revising go yesterday?""Good. Peter really helped me!"I'm a good liar. I give her one of my magnificent I smiles."Great. At least, there's something positive about the Bathorys.""Sarah...""Ok, ok!”A guy almost crushes into us, carrying flyers. Immediately, he puts one in our hands and leaves without a word. I look at Sarah, a little bewildered, but she's already focused on reading it."We absolutely must go!""Uh... Where?" She shows me the flyer she's holding in her hands."They're organizing a party on campus!" I take a closer look."It's a fraternity party.""Yeah, Logan's, but we don't care, there's always a lot of people at these parties, there's a little chance of bumping into him.""I don't know. Generally, things get out of hand at that kind of party.""You have my word! If it's a crap, we won't stay!" Her good mood wins me over."Ok, sounds good! You win, I'll go with

I move back a little, in order to keep a clear head."Hum... It's the one in which there are all the personal stories.""Myeah... Nothing very exciting.""I'm interested in what these girls felt... I feel the same. This inner energy that is continually swirling deep inside me is quite frightening.Since yesterday, I feel it's struggling to take possession of me.""Really?""Yes... It's both frightening and exhilarating."Am I really having a normal conversation with Lucian? The Lucian?Mmh... Like when you make love for the first time?" I'm sure I've just gone as red as a beetroot."You know... When that desire rises in you, addictive and uncontrollable...""You can't compare sex to magic!" He tries to pull the book out of my hands, but I cling to it like a lifebuoy. I'm not really used to the charming and malicious Lucian yet. I think I preferred the old one! At least I could tell him to get lost without feeling guilty. The new one is more endearing and makes my body shudder. And it'

This morning, I feel like my head's caught in a vice. I drag my feet, so much so that I will not be late for class. I rush to the dining room and, like the day before, grab a fruit before running out. I hurry to the bus stop and arrive just in time to see it pass right under my nose. Great! That's a good start!Instead of waiting around for another twenty minutes or so on a bench. I decide to walk on campus. Once there, I rush to my first class as fast as possible, but I arrive late anyway.I try to slip unnoticed up to my place next to Sarah. Unsuccessfully! I catch the teacher's disapproving glance. Oh shit!"Well then, what happened to you? I waited for you this morning.""I know, sorry, I didn't wake up.""Did you do some wild things with your body last night?"My heart pounds gently when I think back to my evening with Lucian. A slow smile illuminates my face. Why does thinking about it makes me feel so cheerful, all of a sudden? Maybe because I had a great time...Sarah's still

I turn off her lamp and leave the room on tiptoe. In the corridor, I hear a soft Melody on piano. I walk past Peter's half-open door.He's sitting in front of the piano. His fingers sliding nimbly across the keys as if caressing them. I stand and watch him calmly. He possesses that mysterious and a slightly of the wall charm that artists often have. Sometimes, Peter seems to carry the weight of the world on his rounded shoulders.When he notices my presence, he stops playing."Oh sorry... Perhaps I'm disturbing you...""Not at all. You look tired, not too difficult with Laura?""Oh, I can see that you've good hearing!""What do you think: I'm a musician and a vampire, that helps!" I laugh openly and lean against the door. If I'd known that I'd be laughing with vampires, I'd have made an appointment with a psychiatrist!"Can I ask you something?""Yes?""How was it with the other nannies? Were there any problems?""No one has lasted more than a week, before you. Laura can't stand stran

We follow in Lucian's footsteps, guided by the sounds of the party. The students chatter mixed with the music. In the end, we overtake him and get to the door just as it opens. We come face to face with a young man who's already a little tipsy."Oh hello girls. We were waiting for you."He leans against the doorframe to let us pass, wanting to appear sexy, but he burps loudly and breaks the spell. Before I go through the door, I turn around. Lucian still in the landing. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to come in. Is he going to stay outside on the look out? This is quite ridiculous. The student stares at him for a moment and then addresses him mockingly."What are you waiting for, you counting the stars man? Come in, come in, the party's inside." Poor thing. You don't know who you're inviting in.Once inside. I see the room is crowded. We reach the bar, where a pile of goblets filled with various and unknown beverages are waiting on the counter. I grab one in passing and follow Sarah
