☽Behind Closed Doors☾ Vampire! Itachi x OC

12 • Midnight Promise

(Luna's POV)

Today was the first day that Itachi was going to be tutoring me. As unhappy as Sasuke was with me, I was excited. So much so, that I had decided to wear something a bit brighter than Sasuke usually allowed. Twirling slightly, I gave myself a once over in the mirror and smiled. This is the first time in a while I've been excited.

Exiting my room, Sasuke took in my appearance, a scowl quickly finding its' way to his face.

"What the fuck is that?" He asked, looking up and down my figure.

"O-oh, well...I f-figured that the darker clothes a-are for your eyes only, since they are your favorite..."

He smirked, strolling up to me and snaking an arm around my waist. "Damn right they're for me and only me. Don't forget that bloodbag"

He gruffly pulled me into a heated kiss, squeezing my sides tightly and causing me to whimper. After several minutes of him aggressively locking lips with me, he pulled away, moving to attach to my neck. However, he was quickly interrupted by a knock on the door.

With wide eyes I glanced in the direction of the door before turning to Sasuke.

"Open the damn door already" He snapped, moving from me.

Letting out a small squeak, I nodded and scurried over to the door. Unlocking it, I gently pulled it open, my heart pounding against my ribs as I looked up to see Itachi.

"Itachi! What are you doing here?"

Sasuke perked up at the mention of his older brother, moving to me and wrapping an arm around my waist, his fingers digging in. I winced but managed to keep in the cry of pain as Itachi frowned.

"I thought I could come and pick you up. We have tutoring today, remember?"

I turned to Sasuke and visibly paled at his expression. His eyes were narrow and his nostrils flared, his fangs protruding from his taut lips ever so slightly. I looked between the two as Sasuke cleared his throat and turned to me, giving me a sickly sweet smile.

"Of course. I'll see you in a few hours babe" Pulling me into another heated, but infinitely shorter kiss, he released me.

Blinking rapidly, I blushed from embarrassment before exiting my dorm and walking with Itachi to his car. Any feelings I had of excitement were long gone and instead replaced by white, hot....fear. We walked in silence and I picked at my nails anxiously.

Once we were in the car, the silence remained and I silently thanked Itachi. I don't think I could handle any conversation right now. We were just going to be working on schoolwork, so I shouldn't have to worry about Sasuke getting too upset with me for talking to Itachi. After all, he did give me permission...even if it was begrudgingly.

Gnawing on my lip, I leaned my head against the window and watched the clouds as he drove. Anxiety continued coursing through my veins and discouraging thoughts plagued my brain. Letting out a sigh, I could see Itachi's reflection glance in my direction before turning back to the road.

The rest of the car ride remained in silence but as soon as we pulled into his driveway, I began to feel the nausea come bubbling up once more. My head spun as I got out of the car and I had to steady myself.

"Are you okay?"

I looked up to notice Itachi's figure approaching. Pushing myself from his car, I nodded, not meeting his gaze. I couldn't let him touch me, Sasuke would kill me.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine"

He frowned, but led me inside without pushing any further.

"Y-you...have a really nice house too" I looked around in awe.

Not only did he have an extremely nice car, but his house matched the bill. Just how much did college professors make?

Itachi chuckled, leading me to a dining room table and taking a seat. Following suit, I joined him and he let out a long, deep sigh before meeting my gaze. I began to fidget in my seat, quickly averting my eyes and picking at the hem of my skirt. There was that awful feeling again, my heart thudding against my chest. The feeling was intense and almost painful. Itachi cleared his throat and I glanced up to him, indicating that I was listening.

(Itachi's POV)

"I know you've been avoiding me. Contrary to what you might think, I'm not a total fool" I said, trying to sound playful, but I failed by the look on Luna's face. She still looked terrified.

I sighed, frowning. "Do you know why I'm tutoring you?"

She cocked her head to the side, a bewildered look evident on her face. "I-isn't it to help me get a better grade in your class...?"

"That too, but I needed an excuse to spend more time with you and get closer to you. Sasuke doesn't seem to like me getting too close to you"

Her cheeks flushed and she gulped. I could hear how hard her heart was pounding, causing my frown to only deepen.

"W-well, Sasuke is just...protective of me. He cares about me and doesn't want me getting hurt"

'Bullshit!' That's what I wanted to say but I held my tongue. I knew it wasn't my place to say anything and I still couldn't fathom how my younger brother could do such horrible things to her.

"I see" I trailed off, getting up from the table. "I'll be right back"

She nodded as I moved down the hallway and into one of the rooms. After I had retrieved some papers from my office, I sat back down at the table. However, instead of sitting down across from her as I was before, I sat next to her. Pulling out several sheets, I handed a few to her as she blushed, pulling away from me slightly.

"Well, you should be excited" She looked up, raising a brow "You get extra studying in with the teacher" Flashing a smile to her, she quickly looked back down

"Th-thank you Itachi, I appreciate the extra help"

I nodded, looking down to my lecture notes. "Anything for my favorite student"

As her cheeks flushed, I found it difficult to repress a chuckle.

(Luna's POV)

The next few hours flew by and it had started getting late. Once Itachi had dropped me off, I thanked him once more before retreating to my dorm. Immediately, Sasuke was standing directly in front of me.

"Bedroom. Now."

Even though my body, brain and heart protested, I dared not utter a word. I got up and followed behind him, knowing full and well what was about to happen.

For the next hour, he fed and had his way with me. Once he was finished with me, he discarded me like the trash I was. Cradling my bruised wrist, I watched as he went into the bathroom and waited for the shower to turn on before getting up.

I began to pick up my room, cleaning myself off in the process as I began to cry softly. I bit my lip harshly to keep the whimpers at bay.

'I wish you were here to help me Itachi...'
