He took some out and began placing them on the shelves, bending and stretching at his task. He had a nice back, broad shoulders and muscles that could be seen clearly under his light blue T-shirt. Daisy watched for a minute, fascinated. "Like what you see?" he asked without turning around. She jumped at the sound of his voice. "Well, you're the only thing in the room that's moving, you know?" she said by way of explanation. He turned around to look at her, books in either hand, a small grin on his face. "Of course, what was I thinking?" he asked rhetorically. "And look. We're both adults here, hm?" He looked carefully at her. "The couch we just brought up here cost fifty dollars at the second-hand store, and has to be at least thirty years old. I don't want to sleep on it, and I don't think you're going to want to sleep on it, either." She shook her head. "So the bed is nice and big," he continued. "I think we can manage, don't you? We can share the bed." He watched her for her reaction. "I give you my word this is not going to be a problem for me. At all. Is this going to be a problem for you?" She looked at him. "Really? At all?" She recovered from the unintentional meaning of his words quickly. "No, it won't be a problem for me, either," she said firmly. "We can share the bed."

"I, Bella Colburn, rej-" In an instant, Lucian slammed his fist through the wall next to Bella's head. Her knees gave out from the surprise and sheer terror that ripped through her body.

"Say those words again and I will find everyone you've ever cared about and rip their hearts out right in front of you before locking you in the cellar with their dead bodies."

I shrugged, staring at the light purple tile he spat on, "Kay but was there really a need to spit on my floor? this is a candy shop you know. Cant have bloody spit in the chocolate." If looks could kill I would be melted into a rainbow puddle. He jumped behind the counter and stormed into the back room, "tell anyone here and I'll fucking kill you."

[He walked, strolling confidently across the room, looking at me as if I was a piece of meat. I knew that look well, too well. I could feel his breath on my neck. He brought his hands onto my body, running through my arms slowly, approvingly smiling at what he had found. I tried to calm myself down but his actions weren't helping. He leaned down to my ear and whispered, "Take off your clothes."] Warning: This story contains DARK THEMES. Read at your own risk.
