Little one, he called me, as he greeted me while stroking his fingers on my hair down to my neck and gripping his fingers tightly on my neck before placing a tender kiss on my lips. Good morning, my sunshine, he said. I hope you slept well last night because today, I will be leaving for work as I have lots of things to do today, so I just wanted to let you know.

Firstly, let's go shower together and have breakfast before I leave for work today, he said. He took my hands in his and walked us to the bathroom, and when we got there, he ran me a bath, and we both brushed our teeth with our toothbrushes and exited the bathroom. When I got out, I saw him bringing out dresses for me to try on, and when I wore the dress he liked, I wore it without question.

After breakfast, Dracula left me in the room with my own thoughts. But before he left, he kissed me like I was going to die soon, and I urged him that I would be fine all by myself and that he didn't need to worry about me. Grudgingly, he left me without forgetting to leave someone behind to be stationed at the front door and gave me his phone to use and while away time.

Alone in my thoughts, I wondered why he wanted something to do with me, as I wasn't good enough for him. He was a really handsome man who was breathtaking for his age. I was still frightened of him and wanted an escape route from all this chaos surrounding me. It was like a wailing storm that needed a break from all that was happening.

I wondered why such a powerful man like him would end up with such a weakling like me. Just like what my mother would tell me, all the day without giving me a break, that was happening in my life. I remember how devastated I would be and cry when no one was around.

But here, he showed me how much care and support he had and gave them to me without asking for a return of his favours. It felt too good to be true, and I had this hope that it was just my brain playing tricks on me and he genuinely cared about me and wanted to be with me.

********************************************
I felt a tap on my body and heard a voice calling out to me. And when I opened my eyes, I realised that I had fallen asleep while deep in thoughts, seeing the thoughts of the man who made me question my own thoughts. So, I bravely asked him,

What do you want from me, please?

He looked at me strangely, like I had grown three heads.
Excuse me, he said. Do you always think that my helping you needs something from you?
Yes, I need something from you, he said.

And when he did, my heart skipped a beat, as I was afraid of the situation about to commence and finding out the hard truth that would hurt me more.

That's not what I am really thinking, honey, he said. As he stared into my eyes and came closer, wrapping his fingers around mine.

What I want from you, little girl, he said as he stroked my chest region, still talking.

It is you, darling, he said completing  his sentence. I freaking want you, babe. You're my beating heart for my dead soul. I love you, and I don't need you to tell me that you love me yet, and I am not asking you now for sure. What I want is for you to know and understand how deeply I feel for you, my love.

But I want us to take things slow. Like, get to know each other, understand each other's personalities, weaknesses, strengths, and differences, and find a compromising solution to resolve our differences.

I am going to make you fall in love with me, one day and that's for sure, little one, and daddy here is going to spoil you with all his love, he said, before pecking my forehead with a kiss.

See, I am not asking you to officially be my girlfriend or whatever the heck you mortals say or call it, but we are destined to be with each other just like the goddess has ordained us to be. I will always protect you, Chloe Well. Until I die in this world, I will protect you and never let you go, if it means losing my life to protect you, at all cost, my baby, stroking his forehead with me and pecking my little nose.

I will never let a strand of hair fall off from your head and never want to see you hurt in whatever way deemed fit, because you are mine to love, cherish, and fuck, little one. If it means that I should kill a person to understand or pass a message across vividly, I would do that. I am a bad man and I would deny one bit, but my love for you, drives me crazy when I think about you, little one. Just keep that in mind next time you have a doubt about me, love.

So what do you want to eat? he asked, changing the topic. I can ask the cooks to make something for you. Name anything, and it will be prepared for you immediately, he commanded.

Mmmmh, I would love to have pizza for dinner with some sodas or water if that's fine, I told him.

Are you sure? he asked me. Is that enough for you, or do you want me to order extras just in case?

No, I told him. I am okay with what I asked you to order, and thank you. I told him honestly.

You're welcome, he said, pecking the sides of my mouth.

He brought his phone and began ordering immediately, and before thirty minutes, the orders were delivered, and he went downstairs to get them. When he came up, he told me, Baby, it is time for you to come eat.

And I began eating as he watched me, smiling like I was the only girl in the world for him, and I blushed sheepishly as he stared at me.

After I was done eating, I asked him if he had eaten his already or had someone else give him blood to drink.

No, I haven't yet, he told me. I just wanted to make sure that you had your dinner before going to bed, and when you do that, I will have my meal later.

Would you mind taking some of my blood? I asked him.

No, little one, I can do that, later but not now, he said. You need your rest, and when you have fully recovered, maybe you can ask me this question, and then, I might agree with you. But for now, you need your body to fully recover and rest before stressing it.

I pouted at his statement, and he leaned in, pecked my lips, and chuckled.

Such a sexy cutie, little one. Daddy can't wait to show you his surprises and what he has in store for you. Until then, be a good girl and rest well, baby girl, or else you will be punished, because daddy is going to drain you with all he has planned in mind for you, he said. And I shivered from all that he said to me.

He cleared the tables, undressed, and got in bed with me, cuddling with me until I yawned, falling asleep afterwards.
