[Completed] Riley Hayes | A Vampire Novel - Book I

Chapter 9 - forbidden love

"Put more force behind that kick, Riley!" Jackson screamed to motivate me to push myself more.

"Yes, sir!" I replied and took a deep breath before putting everything behind my kick. I released a controlled scream as I did, sometimes the sounds made you perform better.

"Good! Again." Jackson complimented me and then looked at the others training alongside me. He was such a good fighter and trainer, he had it all to be a fit leader. He was strict but loving and always kept in mind each individual's strengths and weaknesses.

We trained five days a week like this to maintain our body structure, but also improve it alongside our skills. I was a good fighter, balanced in close combat as well as ranged combat. I was lean and fast, quick on my feet, and quick to decide.

After training, I met up with my boyfriend Ryan. "Hey babe, how was training?" He kissed me on my lips and I lovingly wrapped my arms around him. His hair was a dirty blond color and I loved to swipe my hand through it as I kissed him.

He had trained as well but he follows a different strict training schedule to prepare him for leadership. "Good, yours?" I smirked and kissed him again, the fluttery feelings in my belly still very prominent even after two years of being with him.

He smiled, his gorgeous white teeth showing. His green orbs sparkled when he looked at me. But today I saw something cheeky in them. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a wrapping of something.

I curiously looked at it and then it dawned on me... A condom. I looked at him, excitement filling my body. "How? Where... Where did you find this?" I asked him holding onto it excitedly.

He grinned and told me his father found them on a mission, he distributed it around so those longing for contact didn't have the risk of pregnancy and he gave Ryan one as well. Though Jackson is very prominent about Ryan and I starting a family, he understands and respects that no matter how much I want it. I'm not ready yet, maybe a year or two or so from now on.

We were giggling while we ran to his house, well our accommodations were more like rooms but at least we call it home. His house because his father was his leader was in a district that had larger housing spaces.

We were already kissing and undressing each other the moment we walked in and closed the door. We had done his part many times though penetration never happened.

"Are you really ready, Riley?" He asked through his kisses.

"Riley?" I nodded but was someone at the door? Did I hear someone call for me?

"Riley!"

"Wake up!"

I sat up and was met with an angry-looking Leuca, though that wasn't surprising. I was having such a lovely dream, a wonderful memory of my first time with the man I loved. But no, it was ruined by the man I loathed. "What?" Now I was moody. I missed Ryan.

"Why. Are. You. In. My. Bed!" He asked and yelled at the same time, did he have to pause between words? Also, added dramatic effect? So many drama queens around here.

"Because. I. Was. Tired." I replied, also adding pauses in between to taunt him.

He grumbled, almost growled even. "Do not mock me, bunny! You know very well my bed is off-limits." He grabbed my wrist and tugged me to the side. If it wasn't for my balance I would've fallen onto the floor.

"Yeah yeah, bad Riley." I glanced at the time, huh, I slept for such a long time!

Oh, we have dinner then because it is nearly six o'clock. "Is it dinner time?" I asked.
