A Vampires Lover - COMPLETE

Chapter Ten

Byrons POV

I feel the moment the sun sets, my limbs suddenly gaining full control back, the numbness that had frozen my body thaws leaving tingles spreading through my veins, a smile creeps across my face, my life has a purpose now, to court Lara the way she deserves. To put aside my selfish needs and concentrate on her happiness. The figure in the bed opposite mine groans and sits up, his fingers running through his messy blonde hair.

"Did it go well?" Alex asks, stretching his muscles, his bright blue eyes holding mine.

"She has offered me a chance. I will not screw it up this time." I push myself upright, feeling my muscles stretch delightfully.

"I will believe it when I see it, no offence brother but your history suggests that you will screw it up somehow."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Brother." Alex mock salutes, grinning from ear to ear.

"Thats what brothers are for." Grabbing the pillow from behind me I throw it at Alex, who promptly catches it, launching it back with precision and speed, a quick flick of my hand has the pillow falling harmlessly to the floor.

"Youre a jerk." I retort, standing slowly, stretching my limbs, Alex mirrors my movement.

"But you love me. So are we going to Lara's soon?" Just hearing her name causes a huge smile to spread across my face, my heart warming to the thought of seeing her again, my fingers itch to run through her hair, to caress her face, to look into her beautiful emerald eyes and hold her in my embrace.

"Yes, you have 30 minutes. Get ready. You look a state." I cant help but tease Alex, his eyes going as wide as saucers before he disappears into the bathroom, slamming the door shut. In 20 minutes we are both ready and heading down to the foyer, the human receptionist cannot take her eyes off of Alex, his blonde hair and perfect blue eyes always catches the attention of any female. For once I am glad of my natural power seeping from my pores, clouding the air around me. The only one who has been able to come close to me, withstanding the power is Lara, she managed without realising, she astounds me at ever turn her life throws at her. I bought her as a shy but fiery 19 year old girl, one completely naive to the world around her. But now she has grown into a beautiful, powerful woman who will fight for and protect anyone she calls her family. An admiral trait.

"Byron? Are you paying attention?" I suddenly snap out of my musing at Alex's frustrated tone. My feet moving of their own accord, walking beside my brother.

"Sorry, you were saying?" I notice out of the corner of my eye that Alex smirks before trying to straighten his face.

"I was just saying that you should be proud of Lara, she almost held her own against me but then I have an unfair advantage. She looked like a fearsome warrior, a beautiful one at that." I cant stop my fist when it plows into Alex's face, his head snapping to the side.

"I havent forgotten or forgiven you for kissing her. Dont make it worse for yourself." I growl at Alex but he just responds by laughing, massaging his jaw as we resume walking to the car.

"Look im sorry brother. Lets call it even now." Alex jokes as we reach the car, he slips into the drivers seat as I climb into the passenger seat beside him, the leather protesting under our weights. The engine purrs to life as Alex twists his wrist, he starts driving towards Lara's as I mess around with the radio, trying to find a station that we will both like, not an easy task. Finally we settle on a station as we both relax back in the seats in a comfortable silence, I feel better after hitting him for kissing Lara, the journey to Lara's is short and as her decent size house comes into view I cant help but smile as it is the house I always envisioned Lara living in. Alex parks the car, my hand rests on the door handle, suddenly nervous, Alex nudges my shoulder playfully.
