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

Chapter 28 - Chocolate galore

I have been back at Leuca's side for four weeks now. Have things changed? Surely yes.

He was treating me slightly better, I wasn't collared regularly anymore. Only if we went out or if vampires visited for business.

I could go outside whenever I liked, yes with Christina at my side and only in the garden but it was more freedom than he had ever given me.

We had sex almost every day, no complaints on my part. He was getting rougher with the day though. Again, no complaints. He had teased me about liking being roughly handled and I wouldn't admit it being true... But it was true. Though sometimes I wanted soft and cuddles as well.

Life was peaceful again... I even saw Amalia often as we had a talk or had lunch together. She always listened to me and slowly was getting more cheery every day.

Beth still is the same, just like the other servants around here... Only today something was different from the moment I woke up for Wyatt had come in our room with a letter from Althea.

She wanted to check up on Amalia and would come to visit today. I read the note as well and glared at Leuca, "don't you dare let her sit on your lap and stuff." I pouted just thinking about it.

Leuca was sighing before muttering under his breath, "that persistent woman."

Wyatt chuckled in the background while jokingly calling me clingy. Leuca had widened eyes and seemed surprised, "don't be a jealous bunny, I wouldn't bed her if that is what you're concerned about." He bit my lower lips and then placed a soft kiss on my lips.

I withdrew my lips and looked away, "you better not, I will not let you touch me for a year." I warned him, I'm not someone you can fuck every day and then go on to the next. Nope, wrong girl.

He chuckled again, "I like your jealousy but it isn't needed. I'm having away too much fun with you to throw that away."

I huffed and started my day by showering and dressing so I could have dinner downstairs in the kitchen and keep Anthony and Liana some company in the kitchen. The others were quite shy and didn't talk much so I haven't become friends with them.

I approached the kitchen door and heard people raising their voices but trying to be careful inside the kitchen. If I could hear you then every vampire on the premises can too, you dumb wits.

I opened the door and immediately found out why they were fighting. "Riley Hayes..." The blond girl I thought I had hit hard enough to Mars stood in the kitchen. Huh, hadn't seen her for weeks so I had assumed she was either transferred or dead. Why wasn't she? Why did Leuca keep her around?

Don't tell me.

God, that man is giving me headaches!

Anthony stood between us in a second, "Elaine, I told you... She could come in any minute now, the master does not like it if she isn't fed properly so please just go back to your quarters..."

Elaine had her arms crossed and was staring daggers at me. I guess she still is quite angry at me. Maybe I shattered her knee... Busted her lip... Broken her nose if I remember correctly. "Your nose is crooked, Elaine." I taunted them over Anthony's shoulder.

"God, here we go," Anthony mutters under his breath.

It was as if a bomb exploded in Elaine's head, she started cussing and screaming at me. She tried to lunge herself at me and like, does she want me to try to set her nose straight by breaking it again because I will if she continues this ridiculous behavior. "It's all you! It's your fault everything is your fucking fault, Riley! I was his favorite! Me!"
