The Vampires Pet

Chapter 27: The client

I crossed my arms as if that could somehow protect me from feeling anything for him. I didn’t realise I was so quiet on the drive until he glanced over at me and said, “are you ok?”

“I’m fine,” I replied.

He was quiet, and then he said in a softer tone, “I am sorry for abandoning you, I know my promise probably doesn’t mean much now, but I swear I will not close the bond again, and I will make sure to visit you every so often.”

“I don’t need you to do that, I’m over it now,” I replied calmly, not letting anything show in my voice.

It was about an hour’s drive, and then we arrived at the clients home. Stepping out of the car, I wrapped my black coat around myself more tightly, it was bitterly cold as winter was setting in again. Her house looked nice and simple, painted cream, and it had a small front garden filled with flowers.

I let Amdis lead the way and he knocked on the door. I almost dropped my jaw looking at her, she was absolutely beautiful, she could easily be mistaken for a supernatural. She had white blonde hair with soft lilac highlights running through it, her hair was long, shiny and had soft curls. Her face looked flawless, her makeup was perfect, she had a shimmery silver eyeshadow with a Smokey cat eye, she had high cheekbones that her contour emphasised even more, and she was wearing a warm golden brown lipstick.

She was almost six feet tall and had long slender legs, she wore skinny jeans that hugged them tightly, showing off her perfect butt, she wore black high heeled sandals too and a baby blue vest top that showed off her very big b.reasts, she was wearing a cream cardigan over it, the buttons undone, and the shoulder parts had fallen to her arms sexily.

I peeked a glance at Amdis but I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, he had his cold and professional face on, I did, however, catch him looking at her cleavage, but I couldn’t be sure if he was checking her out or if he was just hungry and saw a vein pulsing or something, you really couldn’t tell with Amdis.

“Hello, are you the guards?” She asked in a feminine and husky voice.

“Yes, my lady,” Amdis confirmed.

Smiling, she said, “come in.”

I walked in, but she hadn’t said his name, so he still stood at the door. “You have to invite me by my name, my lady,” he said.

“Oh I’m sorry, come in, Amdis, isn’t it?”

He bowed to her, saying, “yes,” and then he walked in.

Her home was small and cute, the flooring was all a warm brown wood lino, the same as her kitchen table and chairs, she had a lot of plants around the home and most of the rooms were painted white. Everything was perfectly clean and pretty, giving me Bohemian vibes.

After our introductions she left us while she went back to her office room as she said she was working from home today.

While Amdis checked the place out to make sure it was all safe, I got distracted by the pretty white cat that came padding over to me. “Aw, hello,” I cooed. I let the cat sniff me first and when he rubbed his head against my hand, I stroked his soft fur, he was so cute and friendly.

Amdis sighed when he saw me and gently pulled me by the arm to stand up again. “I know you love cats, but you are on a job right now, you cannot afford to be distracted.”

“I have you to help out.”

“You should still take the job seriously, you cannot just be slack about it and expect me to do everything.”

He was right, so I nodded and helped him check out the home.

I played with the cat again while Amdis did his creepy thing of just standing by the window and looking out, still as a statue.

When the lady, who I now knew was called Anne, came back out and offered us to eat dinner with her, Amdis politely declined but said, “Rochelle shall eat with you, if that is ok, I don’t think she has eaten today.”

I glared at him, but he didn’t look at me.

Anne was nice and easy to talk to, we talked about her job and her cat while we ate a lasagna she had made from scratch. She laughed as she was telling me a funny joke about her cat, I learned he was called Sammy. I noticed Amdis looking at her while she laughed, and I knew he found her attractive.

I tried not to care, but that was impossible. I helped her clear up and when it was getting late, she said goodnight to us and went to bed.

Our job was to stay up and keep watch.

Amdis looked at me and said, “you should get some rest, I don’t need to sleep, and it doesn’t need the two of us to keep watch.”

“I’m not tired yet.”

“Rochelle,” he warned.

“Nope, you don’t get to boss me around when you’ve been absent from my life.”

He took a breath to calm himself and gave a nod. “Very well.”

“You aren’t going to start dating her, are you?” I asked. I had a tendency to ask the most awkward things.

He rose an eyebrow and replied, “why would you think that?”

“She’s supermodel hot, and I saw you checking her out over dinner.”

He grew slightly flustered and said, “she is beautiful, but I was not checking her out.”

“Yes you were, I saw you.”

“I don’t date my clients.”

“You went on a date with me once.”

“That is different, you are also my pet, we had a less formal relationship.”

“Hardly,” I scoffed.

“I have no intentions of dating her.”

“You can still be attracted to her, though.”

He broke eye contact, looking down at the floor and taking a deep breath he looked back up at me and said, “she is attractive, I have seen many beautiful and attractive people in my lifetime, but I was not lusting over her.”

The way he said ‘her’ made me ask, “why does it sound like you weren’t lusting over her, but you were something else?”

He looked almost ashamed and admitted, “I was lusting over her blood, I have not fed for many weeks, and I am more hungry than usual.”

I looked at him in surprise, and then I noticed just how pale he looked. I went over to him and touched his arm, and he felt almost ice cold to the touch.

“Are you struggling around me too?” I asked nervously.

“No, you are my pet and I would never hurt you or do anything against your will.”

“But you would a stranger?”

He turned away from me to look back out the window and said, “our bond makes it so that I care for you, even at my worst it would make it so that you would be the last person I would choose to feed on no matter how hungry and out of control I became.”

Huh, I didn’t know that. I stepped closer towards him and asked, “why haven’t you fed for so long?”

“I have been busy.”

“You could easily spare ten minutes to feed, why haven’t you really? You have like hundreds of girlfriends to choose from.”

He gave a soft laugh and replied, “I am no longer dating anyone.”

I grew excited at that thought and had to try really hard to control my heart rate, or he would hear it. “Why not?”

“I lost interest in them.”

“So you can’t feed on anyone now?”

He turned to look at me again and said, “of course I can, it just means I have to go to clubs where donors offer their blood.”

“Ok, so go and feed then.”

“I shall soon.”

“Amdis, you are always looking after me, and now it’s my turn to look after you, I’m telling you to go and feed, you need to be at your full strength.”

“I am not in the mood for intimacy.”

“Aren’t you like some incubus demon? Shouldn’t you always be in the mood?”

He gave me a dirty look and replied, “do not call me a demon, and no, I do not have to always be in the mood, feeding usually brings it on, and I really cannot be bothered right now.”

He was being weird, and I didn’t know why and doubted he would open up and tell me, so I left him alone.

I sat down on the nice cream sofa and must have fallen asleep because I swear when I next blinked it was morning.

Anne came down looking as perfect as ever, she had her lovely long hair all piled up into a sexy and messy bun. “Morning guys, I have to go into work today.”

Amdis nodded, “we shall come with you but stay at a distance, it is best if it looks like you are alone, he will be more likely to show himself if he thinks you are.”

She nodded nervously, slipped her shoes on and grabbed her house keys. “Let’s go.”

It was cold out and Amdis saw my coat half zipped. Turning to me, he zipped it up to my chin and I grumbled, “stop babying me.”

“You need to stay warm, you are human and can become sick.”

When he started clipping the buttons closed too, I slapped his hands away from me making Anne giggle at us. When we looked at her, she laughed, “I’m sorry, you two just make a really cute couple.”

I blushed when she said that, while Amdis became more cold and blank faced.

We let Anne walk ahead of us so it looked like she was walking alone, and then Amdis took my hand and put it through his arm. When I looked up at him, he said, “Hold on to my arm, we need to blend in and look like a normal couple.”

I did as he said and ok, I enjoyed it a little even though I really tried not to. “You need to feed later, holding your arm is actually making me feel colder,” I whispered.

“My apologies, I will feed tonight.”

“Good boy,” I smiled sarcastically.

He gave me a really dirty look for that, and I wisely didn’t laugh out loud.
