Black Thorns - Book 1

Chapter 29

With my head feeling light and dizzy, slowly I awaken from my deep sleep. Letting my eyes flicker softly, only to have my senses hit with such a soft sweet scent dancing in the air. This aroma was so beautiful, I needed to know what it was from. Fully opening my eyes, I find myself gazing upon an unfamiliar ceiling above me.

Pushing my body to sit up, the thin bed sheet covering my form, slipped off my body and fell into my lap. Noticing my chest is fully bare, I glance further down my body and my face blushes as I am completely naked. However not only that, my body is also covered in many bite marks from fangs.

As that soft sweet scent hits my sense once again, I smile instantly as I raise my head. Not only am I naked in Drake's bed, covered in his bite marks. I am also completely surrounded by his beautiful black roses, everywhere I look I see a rose.

My heart races in my rib cage, I bonded myself to him for eternity. I am now and forever the mate to a pure blooded vampire. Running one of my hands through my golden blonde hair, my smile only grows bigger as I think of him and yesterday. He made love to me, and it was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life. Looking around the room filled with breathtaking black roses, there was no sign of Drake anywhere.

Crawling from his bed slowly, I notice my clothes are no were to be seen. So instead I pull the bed sheet from its place, and wrap it around my waist as I walk over to look out his bedroom window. Opening it, I felt a nice breeze hit my face. This place was oddly calming and relaxing. No matter how tall the trees are here to block out all sunlight around this cabin, such lovely breezes make their way through the trees here. Closing my eyes for a moment, just to enjoy this simple moment of the wind rustling my blond hair around my face.

Opening my eyes once more, I smile and pick up one of the many roses Drake my vampire left for me.

"Beautiful." Whispering softly I hold it in my fingers only to wince in slight pain. "Ouch." Taking the rose carefully into my other hand, I see my finger where the thorn pricked me. "Even something so beautiful can cause the slightest pain." I whisper as I stare upon the roses beautiful deep black petals.

"Erin!" Turning around in shock, I watch the bedroom door fly open as Drake stands there staring at me. His crimson eyes look me up and down before meeting my gaze. Standing where I stood, I was a blushing mess as he walked towards me. "You're hurt."

"What?"

Reaching out for me, he took my hand that held the gently bleeding finger from the thorn. "Allow me." He whispers as he puts his mouth over my finger, and gently sucks on it. Closing my eyes as he did this, I could feel his tongue gliding along the small cut. "There." Smiling he pulled away, to see the bleeding had stopped.

"Drake, they are all so beautiful." Smiling at him, I gesture to all the roses in his room.

"Not as beautiful as the sight before me." Raising his hand, he caressed my cheek softly. "To enter my own room, finding the man I love standing before the window. Wind blowing his beautiful hair around his face, wearing nothing but a bed sheet like this."

My cheeks burned a deep red. "I couldn't see my clothes." Whispering I watch Drake smile at me.

"Sorry, they are getting cleaned for you." His voice so deep and low like that, god I loved it. "How do you feel Erin?" He asked while taking my hand gently in his, as he led me back towards his bed to sit down.

"A little Dizzy, but maybe I am just hungry."

"Well you have been sleeping for two and a half days."

My green eyes opened wide. "Two and a half days! What happened to me Drake?"

"You bonded yourself to me." He cupped my face with his big warm hands. Leaning in he gently kissed my lips. "Remember when you cut my finger, how after drinking that small amount of blood, you grew slightly weak?"
