A Vampires Lover - COMPLETE

Chapter Four

"Byron ..." I whisper, not believing my own eyes as he stands a foot away from me, looking the same as he did when I left, the guilt of leaving after I snapped at him starts eating away at me again, my anger disipates like the mist in the early morning. His purple gaze burns into mine, my lungs and heart burst into action again, leaving me breathless, ripping my arm from his grip I step back, trying to guard my traitorous heart.

"Lara ..." Byron starts, taking a step towards me, I hastily press my palm against his chest, halting his advance, but as my palm spreads over his torso I realise I made a mistake touching him, his muscles flex naturally under my touch. His cool hand spreads over mine, my gaze held captive by him, part of me wants to run away and the other part wants to run into his arms.

"I cant do this." Pulling my hand from him I turn and race away, brushing past Kurt as I hurry back into the club. Pushing my way through the throng of party goers, my palms sweaty, my heart racing, stumbling out of the door the cool night air hits me, I breath in great lungfuls of fresh air, trying to clear my head. Why here? Why now? Racing to my car I quickly slip inside, banging my head on the steering wheel, starting the engine I calm my nerves, driving off without looking back at the club, all the way home I continuously glance in the rear view mirrors but no-one follows me. Pulling into the garage I switch off the engine and sit with my forehead resting on the steering wheel, shaking my head I climb out of the car and head into the house, Yasmin and Max are arguing in the livingroom over their game, taking a deep breath to compose myself I poke my head round the door.

"Hey guys."

"Jesus christ Lara, you scared me!" Max jumps, facing me for a moment before looking back at the screen.

"You okay Lara?" Yasmin asks, her eyes glued to the screen.

"Yeah, im okay, just got a bit of a headache so going to head to bed." The lie tasted bitter on my tongue.

"Love you."

"Love you too sweetie, good night. Good night Max."

"See you in the morning." Trudging up the stairs, my heart hurting again even as I tell it to shut up and it is for the best. Closing my door behind me I walk to the balcony doors, throwing them open and stepping out into the cool air, it whips my hair around my face before I manage to hook it behind my ear, leaning on the railings I take a deep breath of the crisp night air. The cold wood stealing the warmth from my arms and fingers, goosebumps racing across my bare skin.

"Why now." I whisper into the swirling winds. Suddenly strong arms cage me against the rails, cool hands resting either side of mine as soft lips press against my exposed skin causing goosebumps of a different kind.

"Because I missed you." His voice whispers over my skin, his lips gliding over my ear, hanging my head, my body and heart coming alive with his touch. How am I meant to fight this? I can never escape him, my body yearns for him with a need only he has caused.

"Byron, you have no right." My whisper almost gets lost in the wind, he releases me briefly, only to spin me around, my gaze flying up to his, even with my heels on I still have to look up at him, his gaze is so intense that it takes my breath away.

"I have every right." Before I can protest his soft lips slam against mine, stealing my breath, my eyes flutter shut, his arms sweep around me, caging me against his body, my arms helplessly wrap around his neck, losing myself in the touch I have yearned for, for a year and more. His mouth dominates mine, demanding more and more, all I can do is helplessly submit and obey his will. After what seems like an eternity he breaks away from the kiss, my lungs pull in the air swirling around us, sense slams back to me. Pushing his chest harshly I push past him, back into my bedroom, my heart hammering in my chest, reaching the centre of the room I spin, pointing my finger accusingly at Byron who has stepped into the room, the balcony doors behind him, wide open.
