The vampires tutor

Lesson 9.

The ride back to the house was short as I rode as fast as possible; the look in Elex's eyes was foreign to me and it scared me. He is acting like someone who I've never met; which is frustrating sense I felt as though I did know him, I know his family's secret, I know what he likes and dislikes, I know what drives him crazy, yet now... it all feels like lies. 

The Elex I know would never go out of his way to hurt me, to scare me like he did today at the market. He would speak kindly to me and respected me as a woman. 

As I rush into the house, my hands shake violently as they touch my neck where his fangs dug themselves in deeply; the feeling of his hot breath and tongue on my skin makes goosebumps break out a crossed my whole body. Though he didn't drink any blood I feel light headed and dizzy, as though he has taken something from me. 

"Ronnie, is that you dear?" My mother calls from the kitchen as I am about to go up the stairs. 

"Yes." 

"Clean up for super, we have guests coming over." 

My body tenses. 

"Who?"

"Jane and her children, They are bringing some apple pies. They are your favorite right?" 

The sound of pans being pulled out from the cabinet break me from my frozen state and I right the best I can, "That's right." 

As I hurry up the stairs and into my room. Once the door is closed I lean back against it, sliding to the floor with my hand on my heart. 

The image of the Elex and I in the apple orchard on his property, comes to mind and I hold back the tears that it brings to my eyes.

 It's such a sweet memory to me. 

____Flash Back____

Elex walks in front of me carrying the picnic basket, every once in a while glance back at me with a true smile that lights up his whole face, his hair looking like golden wheat in the sun as it shines down on us. 

We walk through rows and rows of tree's, their lush red, green, and yellow apples bump and ready to be picked. Elex turned half way to me and reached out a hand to me; I looked at him and wondered if I should take his hand, but that answer was so easy to make. 

I took it and he lead me over a small bridge that was over a small stream; the sound of frogs and buzzes make a low under sound to the sound of the water going over the rocks. 

Under a large oak tree, Elex laid down the blanket and held my hand the whole time I sat down; my eyes never leaving his as he gave me a sweet smile. He joined me and pulled out a glass bottle of apple juice and cheese, bread, nuts, and what looked like some type of flower. 

I reached out and picked up one of the small pink and white flowers, "What is this?" 

"A honey- suckle." He gently took it from me and pulled off one of the petals, then held it up to my lips, slowly wiping it along my bottom lip. 

When he pulls it away, I can smell a sweet scent and I suck my lip in between my teeth. The taste of a light honey filled my mouth and I closed my eyes. 

"Mmmm." When I opened my eyes, Elex was looking at my lips with dark eyes, his hands tight on his lap. 

I grab another and get on my knees, so that I am closer to him; lifting the petal to his lips, I do what he did to me. I watch as his eyes lock with mine as I pull the petal away, his eyes never leave mine, but my eyes wonder to his lips as his tongue gracefully slides along his bottom lip. 

I feel my body heat up and find myself gulping. 

"Little rabbit." His voice shakes me to the bones and my eyes fly back to his eye, which are not full of amusement. 

"Y-yes?" I stutter with burning blush. 

"Do you want to know what is sweeter than honey-suckles?" 

With little thought, I nod. 

Elex reaches into the basket and pulls out a glass, along with a covered pastry. I watch closely as he pores some apple juice into the glass. 

He takes a few sips then pulls me closer to him, my mouth almost touching his; my heartbeat in my ears. His lips cover mine just barely and I feel a cool liquid splash against my tongue and I let out a soft moan as I just barely feel the hot touch of his tongue on mine as the cool juice lights up my mouth with a excellent taste.  

Once I've swallowed, Elex pulls away and I sign. 

But before I can complain; he takes the pastry and bites into it, letting it flake against his lips, the smell of cinnamon and apples with sugar tempting me. 

I lean in and Elex closes his eyes, I slowly touch his lips with the tip of my tongue, getting the flakes; then lean in more opening my mouth as he gives me the bite of the pastry that was in between his teeth.

His arms snake around my waist and I hurry and chew the pastry; Elex pulls me down onto of his and I lean up a little with my hands on either side of his head. 

The sun light coming through the tree branches, making a beautiful pattern dance a crossed his face and neck, my arms looking the same as my hair falls off my shoulders to waterfall around our faces. 

"You're so beautiful." he whispers. 

A smile breaks out on my face. 

"So are you, Mr. Fox." 

____ End of Flash Back____

"Ronnie, are guests are almost here!" My mother yells up the stairs. 

Quickly, I rub the tears away from my face and get into a deep red dress, while cleaning up my neck and covering the bite marks with some powder. Just to make sure, I put on a black choker with a ruby pendent. Fixing my hair into lose curls, I leave my room and slowly walk down the stairs just in time to see our help opening the door. 

My eyes instantly connecting with Elex's.
