I House Dead Roses

Chapter 5: Forget it

I tried to roll on the other side of my bed, but I was blocked a wall. I put my hands on it, and felt a bump on it. I used my finger to run over it multiple times. I heard a low growl come from beside me, and it made me open my eyes. I looked to where my finger was and it was on a...nipple?

My eyes traveled up to be met with Fate's bluish gray eyes. His features were hard. I gulped before pulling my hand away. I forgot he had slept with me last night. I backed up slowly from him, and onto the floor.

"Want to explain why you were rubbing me there?" He asked huskily. I blushed and looked away. I thought he was the wall. That would sound really stupid. Why would I be rubbing a wall? What the fuck, why would a wall be in the middle of my bed?

"I'm sorry. I forgot you slept here last night." I mumbled. Fate threw the covers from his body. He was only wearing boxers. My eyes roamed over his body. I was staring at his abs, then my eyes traveled down to the bulge in his boxers. My eyes widened as I blushed and turned away.

Another growl escaped his lips. He started to get out of bed walking towards me. I scooted back into a wall. Why couldn't I just keep my hands and eyes to myself. I closed my eyes tightly. 

 I could hear his feet as they approached me. He pulled me up to my feet. "Look at me." He said. I didn't even move. He scares me. The vampires in the books I read aren't the same as the real ones.

"Look at me!" He growled. I slowly turned my head towards him, and opened my eyes. His eyes were crimson again, but this time I didn't feel like I was going to faint. I was lost in them, wondering where they came from, how he got them to do that. He bared his fangs at me. My eyes looked toward his perfect teeth, then to the sharpest ones. 

I lifted my hand toward his face slowly. It made him pause for a moment. I touched his fangs, they were so sharp they cut me. I brought my bleeding finger to my mouth. He grabbed my wrist towards him, leaving my bloody finger inches from his lips.

He licked my finger leaving a shiver in my spine. The wound instantly healed. He looked toward my face, then brought his lips to mine. I was in shock, then started to move my lips against his in sync. His fang grazed my lower lip, and as I gasped he took the chance to slip his tongue inside. 

He explored my mouth, then the baby started crying. We quickly broke away from each other. I looked away blushing. His feet padded away from me. The baby was silenced, then I looked up. Fate was staring at me with curiosity.

"Don't touch me ever again. Riley." He said in a warning tone. That's the first time he's ever said my full name. That was also the first time I've ever had a kiss like that. I just watched his back as he left me in my room alone.

I went into the bathroom connected to my room. I took a shower, then put on black underwear and a bra to match, a gray tank-top, with black shorts. I brushed my hair into a messy bun. I picked up the baby, then went downstairs. 

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple. I was about to take a bite when I felt like someone was watching me. I turned around and walked into Fate. I almost fell, but he caught me. I was up against his chest. 

The baby was in his other hand, of course hanging by his head. "Did you forget your no touching rule, or did that only apply to me?" I asked him. He let me go and I took two steps back. I looked at the baby in his hand. 

"Seriously? I told you to stop holding him like that." I told him, crossing my arms. Fate stuck his tongue out at me. I realized it was in my mouth just moments ago. I felt my cheeks burn. Fate just rolled his eyes at me.

"I'll hold this thing any way I want to hold it. It's not real." He said arrogantly. Wow, so he does know it's not alive. I stared at him for a moment, then got an idea. "We should name him." I said quietly.
