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

Chapter 19 - Clingy Witchy

"Riley..."

"Riley."

"Riley!" I groaned, couldn't they keep their mouth shut? It was early and I needed to sleep.

"Wake up, we'll be leaving in an hour."

Leave?

I shot up in bed and looked at Leuca, who of course was already dressed perfectly. His hair was already styled into a quiff. He was wearing a black suit today, it was as if it was hugging him. That's how perfect it fitted him. And even a black-tie!

He smirked as I was eyeing him and the memories of last night flashed into my mind. I barely remembered what happened, but like a foggy dream, it was in my mind. I couldn't get my moans out of my head. "Go shower and get dressed properly today," Leuca ordered me and even had the nerves to pull the covers off me.

It was getting colder outside so I wanted the warmth of the covers back. I hastily got out of bed and ran into the bathroom. I had avoided eye contact with Leuca during this, why was my heart beating so fast? I shouldn't be embarrassed! I couldn't do anything about it, I wasn't in control.

I took a warm shower while my mind played the events of yesterday over and over again. My body had been longing for that bloodsucker and I can remember me kissing his first. I slapped both my hands onto my cheeks to get this out of my head, it was nothing, nothing really bad happened.

I dried myself and wrapped the long towel around myself. I walked out of the bathroom and into the closet, still avoiding eye contact. I couldn't help it.

He had told me to dress properly, which I didn't know what he considered properly. I frankly barely cared. I did take clothes from my side of the closet now.

I took a nude-colored sweater with puffy sleeves and a black a-line skirt, it was pretty short though. But most of it was, in Leuca's eyes I was a doll for him to present.

Jeans? Sweatpants? Nah, he would tear it right off of me. Normally I'd wear leggings and a basic shirt, everything right but stretchy so I could move around during missions.

It was getting colder outside hence why I wore the thick wooly sweater.

Normal sneakers? Nah, not feminine enough in his eyes so everything had heels. I took a chunky leathery-looking heel. The heel itself was quite high but very chunky so it would be comfortable to walk in.

I walked back out of the closet and was surprised to see Beth standing in the middle of the room, waiting on me. Leuca nowhere in sight. "The master requested me to do your hair and such." She gestured to the chair waiting for my ass to sit on it.

Do my hair and such? It was fine like this! Sure, maybe a bit messy but it was clean. I couldn't object because then she would be the one facing the consequences. Leuca knew exactly how to get me to behave in these moments.

So with a deep sigh, I sat down and felt her tug at the messy bun I had. "Jeez, do you even brush your hair?" She cursed at me.

I hummed, "I did it yesterday!"

"You have long and thick hair, you idiot, you need to brush it every morning and evening and take care of it. Some of these knots are not from one day of not brushing!" I felt her pick at my hair and sometimes tug at it. My head was sensitive...

I kept my mouth shut as she started brushing the ends out and working her way up. She also grabbed a comb and a pair of scissors. If anyone had many skills it was that woman, I mean she was a doctor, a superb maid, and now a hairdresser as well? Damn girl.

She was just trimming my ends and then she grabbed a different tool. She saw me looking skeptical at it, "just a flat iron, I'll use it to curl your hair a bit. I don't have much time, I also still have to do your makeup so look in front." She grabbed my head and forced me to look straight ahead.
