A Vampires Slave

Chapter 15

Iris's pov

I watched as Claude finished his paper work. The last few days have been a mess. He's been trying to give me relentless attention while preparing for the ball.

I tried to ensure him that he was fine, that I was fine. But he wouldn't hear of it. I couldn't help but enjoy our time together. Until today..

"Claude! Baby!"

My ear bled just by the sound of the bird woman's voice. Sarah runs up to Claude practically throwing her boney chest in his face. "Oh how I've miss you!" She whines.

I roll my eyes at her as Claude tries to pry her off. "What is is Sarah. I'm busy." He growls, not bothering to look at her.

I cover my mouth with my hand trying to hid the smile that tugs at the corner of my lips as Sarah's face falls.

She walks over and yanks the papers off his desk and glares at him. "The ball is coming up and you haven't even shown interested in making sure our outfits match for the evening! I am you date after all!"

Claude looks up and I can see the irritation in his crimson eyes as he glares at her. "I don't give a fuck what you wear, you are no longer my date. I am going alone with my pet of course." He shrugs standing from his desk.

"If you excuse me I have things to do since you so rudely Barged into my office." He starts motioning me to follow. As we exit I can't help but extend my middle finger proudly at the bones women before chasing after Claude.

I follow him down the halls towards the ballroom before he drops me off with a kiss on the forehead.

"Please behave for your instructor. I do not want to have to pay another man to keep quiet." Claude sighs. I can't help but roll my eyes as I agree to behave.

I watch him disappear down the hall before I push the doors open and begin my dance lessons. The lesson took much longer than normal due to the fact my instructor kept getting calls from other clients.

Once he was gone I waiting in the middle of the ballroom for Claude as I practiced my dance moves. I was In my own little world of music before I felt someone's hands wrap around my waist. I froze.

"Your dancing is improving so much my little flower."

Clauses smooth voice washes over me as I lean into him. Enjoying this. This time. We gently swayed back and fourth for god knows how long before he stepped back, clearing his throat.

"I have a surprise for you."
