VAMPIRE AND THE MODEST VIOLET

PART 17

SHEHNAAZ**********

The morning light streamed into the room, making me open my eyes forcefully. I hadn't wanted the night to end. Sidharth's presence last night calmed me down and helped me to sleep for a while. I had thought he was going to stay till morning but since he's not here, I guess he has some important things to do.

I stood up from the bed and walked into my closet. It was empty and I remembered I'd packed up all of my things yesterday because I'll have to go back with Sidharth soon. I walked into the bathroom to get cleaned up and also get ready for my lunch with Shefali.

As I stepped to the front of the mirror, I saw my reflection; my hair was scattered and I could see some bite marks in my body. I blushed as the memories of the previous night came rushing back.

Sidharth gently placed a kiss on my shoulder and that made it known that running isn't part of the options. I turned to face him , waiting for the courage to come so I could tell him everything.

But I couldn't. I kept mute !

"Are you ok , baby ?" He had asked me.

"No I'm fine. I want to tell you everything so bad that it hurt but I can't bring myself to do that because I'm scared that you might......."I stopped as a tear rolled out of my eyes.

Sidharth placed his lips on my cheek, stopping the tear from staining my eyes. He kissed both cheeks before he took hold of my palm.

"I might do what?" He asked, urging me to say it.

"Hate me" I whispered, loud enough for him to hear even though I wished he didn't.

He pulled me into his body and wrapped his hand around my body.

"I can never hate you, Shehnaaz. You mean the world to me and hating you is the last thing I'll ever do"

"How can you express so much emotion for someone you just met a while ago?"

He released my body and stared into my eyes making butterflies flutter in my stomach. I quickly looked away when the sudden urge to kiss him overshadowed me. He pulled my face back so I could look at him.

"You are not someone I just met. You're someone I've been waiting for my entire life. Why should I waste time declaring my feelings?"

"How do you know I'm your soulmate?" I asked him.

"Its called MATE and I've been dreaming about you for years" he replied.

"MATE . Is that why I feel this way?" I repeated slowly, trying to get the correct pronunciation of the word.

"Yes Love and you know unknowingly sealed the bond when you fed yourself from my blood the last time " He raised my hand to his lips and kissed it.

I giggled like a child.

"All I ask is just for you to open up to me. I want to know evey lart of your life as much as I want to kiss every inch of your body. I want to worship your emotions and feelings as much as I want to worship that sweetness between your legs. You're mine Shehnaaz and I want you to accept me that way" His words made me breathless. I could envision him doing as he had said.

I raised my legs from underneath him and wrapped them around his waist while shifting my body so close to him. Too close if I have to say. I looked into his eyes as the desire you kiss him came to my mind. My lips hovered close to his as I was expecting him yo take the lead.
