"Aww, why did you stop playing?" Miss Elizabeth asked playfully, sitting down comfortably on the sofa. "I liked it. Play some more."
She gazed at the man in front of her and pursed her lips, finding his expression amusing. She loved to tease and Rose's grandpa was her favorite subject for that purpose.
"Tsk, as if I will entertain you," Rose's grandpa sneered and stood up, walking towards her. "Take off that thing from my neck and let's talk."
His muscular build was even more impressive when he was standing, being even taller than Ryan. Just as Miss Elizabeth, his skin was fair, showing no signs of aging as if he was still in his thirties.
Miss Elizabeth couldn't help but lick her lips when she ogled him up and down, finding him really handsome, wanting to brush her nails through his lush black hair. Unfortunately, the two of them could never be together.
Seeing him messing with his electric collar, Miss Elizabeth warned softly, "Arthur, you should be careful with it. What if it explodes by accident?"
Arthur's hands froze as he slowly lowered them and asked her instead, "Can you take it off? You already had your fun."
The collar on his neck was packed with explosives, enough to kill him. Even Pure Vampires couldn't survive if their head was in hundreds of pieces.
"I'm sorry, Arthur but I can't do that. You see, It's not like I hate you or anything. I just need you to stay out of my business for a few more days, that's all," Miss Elizabeth explained as she extended her hand to the elegant cabinet, pulling out a bottle of scotch. "How about a drink?"
"You lured me here, put that explosive scrap on my neck and now you keep me locked up? What exactly do you want?" Arthur asked coldly, glaring at her.
Miss Elizabeth poured herself a glass and looked at him while hovering the bottle over the second glass but he didn't say anything.
"I guess you don't want any," Miss Elizabeth muttered, putting the bottle away when Arthur stopped her, calling out, "Do you have vodka?"
She smirked and nodded, taking out another bottle of a transparent liquid and poured him half of the glass.
"Cheers."
They both took a gulp and Miss Elizabeth relaxed, loosening the lace that held the bottom of her dress together and sat on her side, displaying her round butt. Just as she thought, Arthur couldn't help but gaze at her legs, trying to peek through her skirt which made her laugh.
"Haha, to think that you still find me attractive after everything I have done to you," Miss Elizabeth said happily, feeling like to tease him. "Do you want to see more…?"
She reached out and untied the whole one side, showing her smooth thigh as she grazed it with her finger, traveling upwards towards her bottom. Arthur happened to be drinking and almost choked on his vodka.
Cough! Cough!
He looked away eventually and shook his head, "I'm sorry but I'm still not tired of living. Last time I almost died."
"Ah, I remember it like yesterday… You were so rough and passionate. No one else could choke me like you did," Miss Elizabeth recalled, closing her eyes as if trying to remember the whole scene. "We did it two nights straight without any breaks. Ah, I want to go back to that day and re-live it once again."
"That was two hundred years ago and I can promise you that it will never happen again," Arthur replied, putting down his glass. "I'm happy with my current wife so you can't seduce me."
"That's a shame…" Miss Elizabeth sighed softly. "I guess I will stay single until the day you finally embrace your love for me, ah…"
Arthur only rolled his eyes, not getting tricked by her, and called out, "Okay, stop changing the subject and tell me what you want. I'm done with your games."
"Hmm… What exactly do I want… That's a really good question," Miss Elizabeth wondered out loud. "Right now I want you to play me a song. Now sure what I will want later."
"Will you tell me if I play?" Arthur questioned, knowing full well she had the advantage but Miss Elizabeth only shrugged.
"We will see how well you play."

"Alright, I think that's all," Rose muttered as she looked at the full suitcase in front of her.
"Are you sure?" Ryan asked speechless, not understanding how women could have so many clothes.
He could fit in a backpack yet she probably needed a small truck.
"Ye, I think so. If there is anything missing, we can just buy it later," Rose replied casually.
"Then…" Ryan said as he stood up, walking up to her. "Does that mean we have some time to ourselves now?"
Before Rose could react, Ryan grabbed onto her body and hugged her from behind, sinking his face in her hair.
"Ah! Ryan!" Rose called out in warning but she didn't push him away, only holding onto his hands to control him.
"What…?" Ryan responded seductively, kissing her on the neck multiple times. "I was sitting patiently and didn't disturb you. Don't you think your boyfriend deserves a reward?"
"What kind of reward…?" Rose asked while leaning on his chest, not saying no.
Ryan considered it as a go signal and lifted her up in the air, gently throwing her on the bed. He quickly covered her, wrapping their hands together and whispered into her ear before proceeding further, "Like this…?"
"But there are other things we need to do before leaving…" Rose said weakly, despite her body screaming how much she wanted to play with him.
Her heartbeat increased and her legs tangled with his own. She breathed hot air into his neck, just an inch away from kissing him. He knew she wanted it just as much.
"What things?" Ryan questioned while looking into her eyes.
"I realized I forgot to pack my cosmetics and I'm still yet to change my clothes…" Rose explained but Ryan only smiled, giving her a sweet kiss. "Let me help you with that."
Rose seemed confused at first but then realized what he planned as he suddenly let go of her hands and grabbed the edge of her jumper, lifting it up.
"Ryan!"
His name got called but his head was already inside her jumper, working his way up as he stripped her. He left a trail of kisses behind him as he quickly reached her arms and smoothly took her jumper off, leaving her only in the underwear.
"Wait," Rose stopped him before he continued, catching his hands while he was creeping down towards her chest. "My parents can come in at any moment…"
As if she was a prophet, Ryan heard the office door opening downstairs and three pairs of footsteps walked out.
"Rose, Ryan! Are you done packing?" Dana called out loudly and even Rose heard her.
"We are almost done! Give us five minutes!" Rose shouted back while hugging into Ryan's chest as if trying to cover her naked body with his own.
Hearing no response, Rose sighed in relief, lifting herself up. She noticed his unsatisfied expression and promised after a soft caress on his cheek, "We will continue later at your place."
In response, Ryan brushed his fingers into her hair and pulled her for a deep kiss, making the best use of the last five minutes they had. She didn't resist at all, giving him this much leeway as payback for their unfinished moment.
Ryan took his sweet time before assuring her, "Don't worry, we have the whole eternity to enjoy ourselves. The last thing we lack is time."

At the same time, in one of the police stations, a person in black cloak entered through the entrance. The receptionist found it strange and called out to him, "Excuse me, Sir. You are in a Police Station."
The man reacted, turning to her and explained his matter in a youthful male voice, "I want you to find a person for me."
The receptionist found it weird and definitely didn't like the commanding tone of the man and warned, "Sir, please take off your hood when talking to an officer."
To his surprise, the man didn't react and instead continued, "His last name is Morgan and he lives in this city. He should be younger than twenty-five years old."
Only then did the man look up and displayed a pair of blood-red pupils as he added, "Find him for me now."
