The Vampire Next Door

Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten

Paige sat in silence with him for a long time, but it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence and she wasn’t even worried that he was going to attack her again. He was just lying there on her bed looking relaxed like he didn’t have a care in the world, the more she thought about it the more she realised he probably didn’t have a care in the world.

“What do you want from me?” she finally asked breaking the silence.

Seth looked up thrown by her question, he’d been asking himself the same thing over and over again. What did he want from her because he had already set it in his mind that he wasn’t going to claim her and apart from bringing her the holy water he had no other reason to be there.

“I don’t want anything from you,” he said looking straight at her.

She didn’t believe him, she found it strange that a vampire wouldn’t attack a human and after so many opportunities to kill her he still hadn’t.

“I don’t believe you,” she told him staring back at him.

She wasn’t backing down, she wanted to know why he had spared her life time and time again, she needed to know why he had kissed her.

“You want the truth?” he asked flashing her his fangs, “I want you to hate me, despise what I am, you should fear me but you don’t.”

“How can I fear you when you keep kissing me like that,” she whispered, her cheeks flushing at the thought of his soft lips on hers again.

He laughed and shook his head, “If you could see into my mind for one day then believe me you wouldn’t want me to kiss you, if you could see what I have done.”

She had already thought about that, she had seen it in that dream that he had killed and she knew he had killed many, but she still found him attractive.

She changed the subject quickly not liking the way he was looking at her,“I meant to ask you, if you translated that page for me?”

“I couldn’t but Marcus can read Latin, so I woke him up.”

Paige frowned at him, “What do you mean you woke him up?”

“He had been asleep since the early nineteenth century. Now that’s a sight that would have given you nightmares.” He told her harshly.

That was another thing that pissed him off, he’d woken Marcus when he had managed to avoid it for so long and now he was going to be stuck with him for who knew how long all because of her.

“Who is he?” she asked, she assumed he was a vampire but knew nothing else.

“He made me what I am,” he spat.

For the second time that morning it had him thinking about the past, something he hadn’t done for a very long time. He had never talked about it before but now within the space of a few hours it was all being dragged back up.

“Oh,” was all she said, she watched him as he seemed to become annoyed with her and decided to leave it.

He read her thoughts again and was irritated to know that she found Marcus attractive, and that was something that didn’t sit well with him.

“Don’t be allured by his beauty, that vampire is evil through and through,” he said his voice rising.

If there was one thing he knew for certain is was not to trust Marcus, he would never risk leaving them alone, part of him believed he wouldn’t hurt her, but the other part of him was convinced he would.

“Does the same go for you?” she asked.

He moved so quickly she didn’t see him and her hair was moved to the side and his mouth was on her neck, she was waiting for him to bite her, for the sharp sting of his fangs but it didn’t come.

“I’m much worse,” he whispered, sending shivers down her spine.

Seth couldn’t keep his hands off her, being in the same room and not touching her was too much to ask, it was the reason he didn’t want to be stuck in the same house as her, he knew he was going to lose his resolve.

“Do you want this?” he whispered huskily, his warm breath fanning against her neck.

All she could do was nod, not even knowing what it was he was asking her. He turned her around to face him, his blue eyes piercing through her, she could see the desire there, the way his eyes lazily trailed from her face downwards then back again, before he flashed her a smile that shattered her heart.

His lips slammed against hers, and he kissed her so hungrily that she thought her heart was going to burst out of her chest, the fierceness behind that kiss was overwhelming and had her moaning into it.

 The sound of her soft moans nearly pushed him over the edge he was so tempted to bite her that it made his fangs throb with the need to be in her neck.

“I’m not doing this, I can’t,” he hissed pushing her away.

She was furious to be pushed away again, he was driving her wild, she knew that he wanted her, he was never going to kill her, and she wanted him just as much. She was so dazzled by him that the thought of what he was capable of didn’t even cross her mind.

“Fine, there is someone else just dying to have me!” she screamed in frustration.

She regretted her words the second they left her mouth as his eyes widened in anger and his fist flew into her mirror shattering it.

“Who?” he roared.

Paige was trying to work out the distance between her and the door but as if he had just sensed what she was going to do he was in front of it.

“Tell me who?” he demanded angrily.

“Why what business is it of yours!” she shouted.

Seth growled and bared his fangs at her again, he moved from the door and grabbed her pinning her against the wall. He could feel her heart pounding, as she pushed her little hands against his chest trying to push him away.

“Everything you do is my business, everything you think is my business, you belong to me and you will do well to remember that before you go jumping into bed with anyone!” he warned.

“I don’t belong to anyone!”

Why did he say that she wondered looking at him in confusion, why did he think he had some sort of a claim over her life. So he had kissed her, attacked her, blew her mind into oblivion but that did not mean he owned her and she was damn sure she was going to prove that to him.
