The Vampire's Love: You Are My Destiny

Chapter 17~ Blossoming Feelings

The next day.

Laura woke up to a beautiful morning, her head was resting on Luke's chiseled chest. She smiled a bit and was tempted to run her fingers on his muscled chest.

Luke stirred in his sleep and felt Laura's fingers caressing his chest. He captured her hand and brought it to his mouth, he planted a kiss on her palm which brought a smile to Laura's lips. "Good morning, sweetheart," he whispered and bestowed her a quick kiss on the lips.

Laura smiled. "Good morning," she replied to his greetings. Things have escalated fast between them, no courtship and no first hello...but they are already intimate with each other. In just one night, she was able to experience the intimate moments that only lovers and legit couples would do. On the other hand, she was glad he was her first in everything. It made her first time memorable, something that she also enjoyed doing.

He looked deeply into her eyes. "No regrets?"

Laura smiled. "No regrets... as long you send me home tomorrow," she said. Giving herself to him last night so that she can go home and save her family, justifies her actions, she has no regrets of what transpired between them last night.

"Alright, I won't back out on my words. I'll send you home tomorrow," he replied. He planted a loving kiss on her forehead. "I'll go to the bathroom," he said and rose naked from the bed, flaunting his muscled body for her to see, then he went inside the bathroom.

Laura blushed crimson red upon seeing all of him and hides under the cover. "Oh My God, his body is perfect in so many ways," she thought to herself. Luke is tall, dark, and handsome. He was the epitome of masculinity, he is every woman's wild dream.

But she can't hold on to him. She doesn't want to add another problem to her already problematic life. She will just consider Luke a sweet interlude in her life. They probably will never see each other again after the vampires take her away. So, why bother thinking about him?

But why does she felt sadness with their impending parting? C-could it be that hear heart was yearning to get to know him better? She would like to spend more time with him. Does she had taken a liking to him?

No! It's impossible!

But she didn't feel any repulsion towards his kisses and his touches, and she even enjoyed it tremendously when their body joined together. It only means one thing... a big part of her likes him. That part of her was craving for his passionate kisses and smoldering touches that can bring her subconscious to a higher level.

Sighing, she got up from the bed and wrapped a towel on her nakedness. She will use the bathroom after he gets out. She walked towards the window and opened it wide, allowing the fresh air to circulate the entire room.

The door to the bathroom opened. Luke came out with only the towel wrapped around his waist. He walked to her side in big stride and embrace her from behind, he lowered his mouth and showered her neck with sweet kisses.

"Stop kissing me, I smell bad and I'm dirty, I haven't had a bath yet," she scolded him.

"Nah, you smell nice, sweetheart. I love you," he whispered.

Laura giggled. "Let go of me, I want to take my bath now," she said.

"I wanna go inside the bathroom with you, let's bath together," he winked naughtily at her.

Laura broke into a giggle, she understood so well what that naughty wink means. "No way! I will never be able to finish my bath!" she refused his suggestion.

"Alright." He let go of her. "By the way...let's have breakfast in the dining hall after you are done bathing," he informed her.

"A-are you going out today?" she asked.

"No. I will stay here in the house the whole day and the whole night. This will be our last day together so we might as well make it memorable so that our memories could last a lifetime," he said.

"Okay." Laura smiled, she picked up the black dress and entered the bathroom.

Luke exited the bedroom and went to the kitchen, he instructed the servant to prepare the breakfast in the dining hall. Then he went back to the bedroom to wait for Laura to finish her bath.

It's hard to describe the happiness he felt when he was under the sheet with her, it's beyond words. She will always be his everything. He will always cherish these wonderful memories with her. His biggest regret now is that he wish he acted sooner.

But it's too late now...

The reality is much more complicated than he anticipated.

He had to let her go hoping that in the future when their path will cross again, maybe they will have a future together. And he was hoping deep inside his heart that she will never forget about him...because he will never forget everything about her.

A few minutes later, Laura exited the bathroom wearing the long black dress he had given her. A smile of appreciation appeared on his lips. She looks beautiful and eternal in the black dress. His perfect bride!

"Come here, let me comb your hair," he beckoned her.

Laura smiled and picked up the comb and handed it to him. She sat on the chair facing the mirror, he went to her side and began combing her hair. She likes the way he was combing her hair, it feels so nice. No guy has ever comb her hair before.

Finished combing her hair, Luke put the comb down on the table. "Let's go to the dining hall... sweetheart... 'coz I'm starving," he said. He reached for her hand and intertwined it with hers.

Laura smiled and rose from the chair.

The couple exited the bedroom going to the dining hall downstairs.

The dining hall consisted of one long oval table with eight chairs surrounding it and a beautiful chandelier hanging in the ceiling.

Luke seated Laura beside him. "Let's eat, sweetheart," he said smiling at her. He planted a kiss on her forehead before putting food on her plate.

Laura smiled. Luke is very affectionate, his actions speak volumes. She likes his extra sweet attitude towards her, she feels so special and very much loved by him.

"Eat a lot, sweetheart," he said while putting a serving of delicious chicken dish on her plate.

The couple eats in silence and occasionally stares meaningfully at each other.

Thirty minutes later. They have finished eating their breakfast.

"Where do you want to go next?" he asked her.

"To the garden. Can we have lunch in the flower garden? I love that place so much!" she said.

"Sure, we will have our lunch there," he said, very much willing to grant all her request. "After lunch, we will go to the stable and ride horses," he offered.

Laura smiled brightly. "I love that! I love horseback riding!" she enthused.

Luke pinched her cheek lovingly. "I love you, Laura," he whispered.

Laura smiled sweetly at him. "I love you, Luke. I meant it," she spoke sincerely, looking deeply into his eyes, braving to admit the wonderful feelings that were growing rapidly in her heart for him.

Luke was feeling overjoyed with her confession and embraced her tightly, knocking her breath away, then he showered her face with feathery kisses.

Laura giggled beneath his kisses. She likes and appreciates his display of affection so much.
