My breath caught in my lungs. He was breathtakingly G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. Tight lines traced his abdomen as water droplets rolled over his smooth caramel skin. Eyes in the fullest shade of lust and in the clearest hue of ice blue stared back, simultaneously displaying a smirk playing at the corner of his soft lips. What was he thinking about in this instant? Was he fighting the impulse to do something he longed to accomplish a long time ago? But this wasn't the best of times to do anything reckless. He NEEDED to stop looking at me like that. I promised myself. No, I swore myself... I had to stay away from him. I HAD to. For my internal fight, for my honor.-- ~So this is what I knew. My parents had signed me off to a royal vampire who apparently was related to THE vampire prince, without my knowledge or permission. In exchange, my parents would become filthy rich for the rest of their lives. That wasn't what I wanted, that wasn't... FAIR. I had to retaliate quick. I had to make the royal vampire regret ever THINKING of MAKING that contract. I HAD to be difficult, especially if he wanted me by his side as if I was some good little dog that obeyed. You see that was the goal. That was the ULTIMATE goal. There was just one tiny whiny problem... the royal vampire was just really good looking. Absolutely soul melting. So, what's so horrible about Candice's situation? It seems like this vampire purchase has some HIDDEN CLAUSES. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **NOT EDITED!!!!!
