My Vampires

Chapter 33

As we listened to the church bells toll, Vlad asked me if I could tend to his wounds, so we went back to his castle.

Kira
"Sorry I took so long. I had to borrow the first-aid kit from Carlos."  "Also, Flynn gave me some suspicious medicine... Let me see."

Vlad
"Go ahead."

Vlad sat on the bed as I unbuttoned his shirt. I touched his skin, but I didn't see any wounds anywhere. They're all healed...He lied because he didn't want me to leave...

Kira
"You're so unfair."

Vlad
"I know."

Vlad chuckled that I'd fallen into his sweet trap and tugged me towards him. He pinned me down onto the bed, my back pressing against the soft sheets. As he looked down at me, he caressed my cheek as if he were touching something precious.

Vlad
"Kira..."  "I want you to know this is the kind of man you fell in love with."

He took off his shirt and I saw a painful looking scar right over his heart.  That's where he got stabbed by the spear... He noticed my gaze and guided my fingertips to the scar--the only scar on his entire body.

Vlad
"The man you fell in love with has a body like this. He's a different creature from you. But..."

He murmured, smiling as beautifully as a freshly bloomed rose.  His smile stole my heart, like it had so many times.

Vlad
"Kira, I can't let you go ever again. Because I waited for you for so long."

Kira
"Mm..."

He kissed me passionately, over and over again.  Our bodies melted together--I was so caught up in the moment I didn't even care about being shy.

Kira
"Ahh!"

I wrapped my arms around his neck with pleasure and he said in a voice as sweet as sugar...

Vlad
"Kira, look at me."

I slowly turned my gaze towards him. Soft moonlight lit up his face. He looked so happy and sad at the same time.  So many bittersweet emotions were on his face my heart thumped like mad.  This is love.  If this wasn't love, I didn't know what was. We had so much love in our eyes there were no words to describe it. Our bodies pressed against each other tightly.

Kira
"Mm, ahh...!""

I felt like I was drowning in pleasure, but Vlad held me tightly so I didn't get lost.

Vlad
"Kira..."

And he let me know with his whole body that he was the only one who could both break me and protect me. I felt bliss like I'd never experienced before.  And all I could think about was him.

When I woke up, I realized it was still nighttime. Vlad wasn't in bed. I looked around and saw him sitting in a chair gazing at something. He was staring at that faceless portrait-of me, from that snowy day. As the pale moonlight shone on his face, he looked so peaceful. I wondered if he was thinking about how long he'd searched for me. Hey, Vlad? I know that the dangerous side of you hasn't disappeared.  I might lose sight of you again someday. But...He suddenly glanced over at me, his crimson eyes softening with affection. I'll find you, over and over again. No matter what. I'll find your heart.

The day after Christmas, the snow stopped falling and things went back to normal. Or at least... I hoped they would.

Carlos
"How can we steal Kira away, Docteur?"

Flynn
"I don't want any trouble. Maybe we can just lock her up in the castle?"

When I woke up this morning, I went to go back home to mansion when Vlad gave me a puzzled look, and then this happened.  I have work to do at the mansion, I need to repay them for everything they've done to me. So I told them I have to go home. But before I knew it, the three of them were plotting how they could kidnap me. Normally you can't get them to agree on anything, but they're on the same page for this?!
