The Bride In Black

Part 20

I waited for a little while, unable to stop my curiosity wandering around the room looking at the records, the books, all the various little nicknacks and such. I found myself heading upstairs to the upper level I sat at the desk and flipped through the beautiful art book, looking at motorbike sketches, and beautiful watercolour landscapes, until I found one near the end of the used pages a beautiful sketch that had slightly been coloured with watercolours but clearly unfinished it was... me. 

"Y/n?" he asks as he came back into the room

"Ohh hello" I smiled

"Aww what are you doing up there?" he chuckled putting some wine on the table and heading up to be on the same level as me "ohh you found that"

"Did you draw this?"

"I did. I couldn't sleep the other night so I came up here and... drew the most beautiful girl in the world" 

"Your far too sweet to me" I blushed "you drew me far too beautiful"

"Well, that's now I see you" he smiled "Come on," he cooed offering his hand and I smiled taking his hand as we headed down to the love seat by the fire, he poured us each a glass and set his arm on the back of the love seat, I smiled and had a sip it was very nice even if tasted a little funny. 

we chatted about little things, books and such watching the fire 

"so, are you going to stay tonight?"

"so long as its not a problem"

"Not at all my darling, what about tomorrow night?"

"We'll see thomas"

"Alright," he smirked stroking my cheek "Even if I only get to see your beautiful face one more day" 

"Your too sweet to me" I blushed "Its getting late I should get back to my room" I said glancing at the grandfather clock about to reach ten o'clock 

"You should, this place seems to spook you at night" he chuckled "just five our minuets" He pleads fixing my hair 

"Alright," I smiled "But not to long, I need to get something from the kitchens too. Perhaps you'd like to join me tonight I've never seen you eat anything"

"I prefer to eat, later in the night often times the three of us will go to the, kitchens. about midnight and eat"

"so you don't eat all day?"

"Then feast after dark"

"That can't be... heathly" 

"Well it works" He shrugs "Maybe tomorrow you and I can have a nice dinner together" 

"That sounds nice" I smiled moving to rest my head on his shoulder 

"Humm, May I my darling?" he asks running his thumb gently across my bottom lip I blushed but nodded taking his hand, he smiled kissing m hand before pulling my head up to be close enough to his own for him to press his lips against my own, but this kiss... was different from earlier.

it began the same, slow, gentle, his same taste even if we both had a slight taste of the wine on our lips, there was much more passion in this kiss then  earlier or this was just more upfront, his lips softly moving against my own so I smiled into the kiss and matched his movements, he rested his hand on my jaw stroking my cheek as we kissed his other hand playing with my fingers, he began to push me a little becoming much more passionate kissing with more force moving his hand from my face to my own wrapping it around his neck, I blushed a little but wrapped my arms around his neck playing with the little fluffy hairs at the back of his head which seemed to fuel him more, tightening his grip on me almost digging his nails into my hip making me gasp, which was enough for him to turn our kisses into much hotter open mouth kisses at times slipping his tongue into my mouth, I blushed hard but matched him turning out little kisses into an intense make out, I did my best to keep calm, keep my breaths steady and my heart from beating out my chest, which wasn't helped when he gripped me a little tighter so much it almost hurt and pushed me down to lay on the sofa with him hovering over me his knee between my legs our chests touching his hand that was playing with my fingers all but pinned my arm to the sofa, I didn't stop him, or deny him. Honestly as thrilled this was to happen as I imagine he was. He pulled away letting me catch my breath but he kissed down my jaw and down my neck picking a spot close to the crook of my neck where he sucked and bit un doubt leaving a hiki but he was biting me so hard 

"ahhh! thomas!" I complained as he was slightly hurting me not hard enough to draw blood but harder then I'd like "That hurts" 

"Just a taste" he growled in a hushed whisper 

"Thomas!" I heard from the door no doubt his mother banging on the wooden door He pulled back from my neck looming over me like a fox to a little bunny, seeming angry I could have sworn I saw his choolclate eyes flash red "Is everything alright?" 

"Fine mother, I was just about to take y/n up to her room" He sighed 

The door opened and thomas put some space between us letting me sit up taking his glass and downing the rest of its contents, his mother rushed in looking us both over, 

"Martin!" she yelled and soon enough he arrived "Escort miss y/n to her bedroom for the night"

"I was going-" Thomas began

"enough" she demanded which silenced him "Take her. I need a word with my son"

"Come miss" Martin told me, I didn't want to go but I noticed a fear on martins face so I followed him the moment I was outside of the room the doors slammed shut with an ominous bang "Its best not to argue with the lady of the house" he says as we walked 

"I thought thomas was the lord of the house?" I asked

"He is. after his father... past. he became lord of the manor but she is still the lady of the house, above him you see being the elder. You would be wise not to question her." 

I nodded a little nervous following him back to my room.
