Virgin Blood

Chapter Two

I woke up to a faint light that seemed to be coming from a nearby window. I slowly sat up and looked around the room I was in. When had I even fallen asleep? I pulled the dark red silk sheets closer to my chest. Blood red, oh the irony of these, at least they weren't white.

A knock came at the door before opening. Master Alexander stepped into the room and smiled at me. "Good morning, my dear Isabelle, have you slept well?"

"I suppose I did. I don't recall falling asleep." I replied as he scanned my naked shoulders and down the length of the sheet.

"You fell asleep on the couch while we were on your way back. I was kissing you and my sister was touching you. After a while we noticed your eyes drooping and we allowed you to sleep the rest of the way."

I nodded, "And then you brought me in her and stripped me of the rest of my clothing?"

Alexander smirked. "They were dirty and you didn't need them anymore."

I looked towards the window, blackout curtains lined it thoroughly. "I thought vampires slept during the day."

"We can't go out in direct sunlight during the day. But we do sleep just like regular humans would." He replied. I nodded, "Belle, drop the sheet, please."

He came over to the bedside and sat down next to me after a brief stare down. "Drop the sheet, Belle."

I instinctively pulled it closer. "But..." It was cold in the room and I was already very exposed. I knew I didn't have much of a choice though. He was being pleasant but I knew he didn't have to.

Alexander stepped up to the bed and sat down on the edge. "Isabelle, I'm going to see every inch of your body within the next two hours, so please, let me just be clear about this. I'm asking for your benefit. I'm going to get my way anyhow."

I pulled at the sheet and he watched as my fingers lifted and grasped at the edge of the sheets. I blushed. I looked down at the sheet as I felt it rubbing against my body.

"Take my hands." Alexander held his hands out to me right in front of the sheet. "Just reach out and put your hands in mine. Just look at me, I'm trying not to frighten you or intimidate you. I want your trust, my dear."

I looked again at the window and back at him, "What happens if you get are touched by sunlight?" I asked. "Do you burst into flames?"

He continued to hold his hands out to me, and in good faith, I took one hand and placed it into his. He wrapped his fingers around my hand. "No, it's more like a melting sensation. Takes a minute though. Like, if we walked in front of a window it would be a tingly, sensation."

I nodded. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Let's go get breakfast." I quickly let go of the sheet with my other hand and took his. He smiled at me and pulled me out from under the sheet entirely and over his body. "You truly are beautiful."

He stood up with no effort holding me against him. I was completely undressed as he carried me to the bathroom. "Take a shower and put the robe on. Then come downstairs. Hurry. We'll be waiting."

Downstairs, Catherine and Alexander were sitting a large table. There was a plate full of breakfast food sitting across from Catherine and next to Alexander. Neither one of them had looked up as I walked in. The short white robe that he had left for me, left me very self-conscious of the fact that everyone could probably see my ass.
