Vampiress

Them

"What the f**k are you doing?" Darius shouted at us both. Like we were two human teenagers caught having s*x by our parents.

"Well we were about to fuck." I said dryly, "before you interrupted us."

"You know why we are here," Darius said to Jesse, "you know what Father is trying to do. Maybe you could not ruin his plans and keep your d**k in your pants for a few weeks. Or maybe just take it elsewhere."

A dark look crossed over Jesse's face and he said "All is fair in love and war."

What the f**k were they on about?

Well I decided to ask.

"What the f**k are you two on about?"

"Cylena, we can't tell you yet. But I will tell you soon." Jesse replied.

"You can not tell her!" Darius said aggressively while taking a step forward.

"Why not?" I asked

"Because our father made us swear not to tell." Darius said matter of factly.

"You know Darius, for such a big bad Vampire, you come across as a little bitch." I snarled

"I just don't have time for confrontation about this. Just do what he says and we won't have to create unnecessary drama."

I looked him over and fixed my hair and walked out. Whatever was going on between these brothers was not worth a quick f**k.

*************

I woke up in the morning alone in my bed, thankfully. Thinking of last night I cringed inside. How could I have lost control where I nearly had s*x with someone. Not just any someone, the Counts son. Well, one of them. I found my thoughts drifting to Darius and how different we were. I was carefree and lively and he was serious and abiding by the rules.

Not bad traits to have

I sat thinking about him a while longer before I got out of bed and headed downstairs for breakfast. While picking on my human food, all I could think about was how I wanted a hunt. A part of the Ceremony was us buying a few humans who were the biggest criminals and letting them loose in the forest. And then, we hunt them. I could not wait for fresh blood. So I decided to leave my eggs and toast and I settled for a large glass of chilled blood. I took the glass with me when I went back upstairs for a shower. I got undressed and looked at myself before stepping into the hell hot water I was running. There were bruises on my thighs. Bruises in the shape of fingers. I laughed quietly to myself AT myself and my lack of thinking before I do something. I stepped into the shower and let the hot water run down my body. Through my hair and down my face. While soaking up all the heat I wondered who was going to try and court me this year. Even though we live in a modern society, courting was still a big thing. It shows how serious a man is but just like the old days of courting, our days were numbered. In those days, by 17 you were considered old and running out of time. But with us? We also had a time limit. We needed to be locked in The Book by a certain age or we would be burned at the stake. The Council couldn't have rogue Vampires running around causing havoc. We needed to settle down. A lot of people managed to find their way around that and buy themselves more time by coupling up with another. But even then, you only had a few years.

I got out the shower and brushed through my wet hair with my fingers. Slipping on my gown I headed out the bathroom to my bedroom.

"Morning beautiful." I heard Jesse say. I turned around to see him in his grey sweatpants and tight shirt leaning against his bedroom door.

"Morning Jesse." I smiled at him. He made my insides flip. Something about him made me want to rip my robe off and have my way with him in the middle of the hallway.

He looked me up and down and smirked before going back into his room, like he knew what I was thinking seconds before.

I put on a sundress and went back out and as I closed my door behind me Darius was closing his door behind him. I decided to pretend I didnt even see him.

"Morning, Cylena." He said seriously.

"Good morning." I replied and carried on walking.

"Wait."

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry about last night."

"You don't have to be. I found it cute."

And for the first time, he cracked a small smile. But I honestly thought his entire face was going to fall off when he done that.

"You think I'm -"

"Miss Cylena, your father requests your audience immediately in his office." One of my fathers bodyguards had said.

"We will finish this conversation later." I said smiling. As I walked towards my dads office I realized what a good mood I just got in. No idea why.

I knocked on the door and my father told me to come in. As I entered and closed the door behind me, I realized the entire Council and The f*****g Count was sitting at the boardroom table.

"Cylena," my father started, "sit down. We need to talk."

Fuck.
