Chained To A Vampire (ON HOLD)

Chapter Four

I cant help but watch as Sapphire turns and heads into the bathroom, the last fortnight has been rough on her, her once vibrant hair lays limp and lifeless, hastily pulled into a ponytail, her clothes are worn but she is still the epitome of beauty in my eyes, heading out the door i come chest to chest with Byron.

"Is she in there?"

"Yes and no you're not talking to her, shes ready to bolt as it is."

"My brother needs her."

"Alex can wait, whats another day? Give me time." 

"Byron chill out would you. Here you go Paul." Dylan announces, walking down the corridor, handing me 3 bags, Byron steps back with a huff, Dylan slings his arm over his shoulder, leading him away reluctantly.

"Thank you Dylan."

"Keep Sapphire close Paul."

"I plan to." I reply, smiling as i head back into the room,  hearing the water running from the bathroom i place 2 of the bags down before knocking on the bathroom door holding the other bag.

"Yes?" I hear her muffled voice call.

"I've got you some clothes." I reply through the door.

"Bring them in." I know its completely innocent but i cant stop my body's natural reaction, slipping through the door i try my best to keep my eyes down but they are traitorous and i cant help but look at her figure through the opaque shower door, it only provides us with an enticing blur of her body, her head is tilted back, her back arched, my hands itch to follow those curves.

"Place them by the sink." She says, dragging me away from my thoughts, quickly putting the bag by the sink i leave, closing the door gently, trying to control my desire to go in there and ravish her body, pacing the room i try to get my urges under control, my fangs have extended i know because i taste my blood on my tongue where they have sunk into my lip. After what feels like an eternity Sapphire steps out of the bathroom rubbing her hair with a towel and my jaw drops to the floor looking at her in the soft coral cotton shorts and grey vest top, her brilliant gaze jumps to mine and i swear my heart stops.

"I ... uh ... im ... going to have a shower." I stammer, causing a beautiful smile to light up her face, grabbing one of the other bags i head into the bathroom, shutting the door before leaning my head against the wood, her scent cocooning me in the small room, stripping i step into the shower, turning it to cold, trying to calm my body but i know that while she is near my body is always going to feel out of control and restless. The water cascading down my back feels like fingers caressing my skin, not helping my emotions, leaning my forehead against the cold tiles I try a few deep breaths to get myself under control. Finally after many minutes I feel some sembelence of control back into my body, turning off the shower I wrap a towel round my waist, grabbing a pair of sweats and a t-shirt from the bag, drying myself quickly I slip the clothes on, rubbing my hair until it stands on edge before smoothing some back down again. The mirror reflects my face, my eyes seem to be glowing, my fangs have descended and my skin looks slightly flushed. Draping the towel over the rail I head back into the livingroom and stop dead in my tracks.

"What?" Sapphire remarks, mouth full of food, glaring at me, I can't stop the laugh bubbling up which makes her glare more. For some reason the sight of her stuffing her face with food gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing I've provided for her, in a way, makes me smile more.

"Nothing." I reply quickly, heading across and dropping onto the sofa next to her as she sits cross legged, fingers covered in sauce from the hot wings, her lips painted a dark pink from the sauce, she looks at me suspiciously before turning her attention back to ravishing her food.
