13. Nightmares

I feel again Firius his fangs going into my inner thigh and scream.

Waking up with a sore throat and sweating all over my body. I looked again into the room still shaking with fear. I hear knocks on the door and Xandros stepping in the room coming to me and sitting on the bed. I look at him with still not could on controlling my breathing he takes my hand and he comforts me. He takes me into his arms and promised me to never let this happen to me again. Too scared to kick him out of my room I enjoyed his embrace that not felt warm but not cold either it felt weird but pleasant to have this strong vampire with me.

"Stay with me please?" I ask him desperate for a good night of sleep after all those nightmares I had for almost a month.

He is going to sit on the couch at the fireplace and look at me till I fell asleep again.

That morning I wake up in between strong man arms and when I look at who they are I see a man laying spooning with me and he looked so peacefully next to me. Now I can look at him closer he looked so young and broken. Now It looked like I could see the real Xandros behind the vampire. He suddenly smiled.

"Cara, I am already awake," he told me with a flirty smile on his mouth that made me feel relaxed and not that tense anymore with him, maybe he can be fun and loveable, or maybe it's all a part of a game. They like so much playing with us it could be he is playing all the time with me and my feelings.

The first time he had bite me after Firious I was so scared but he was so nice and soft with me that the fear of him bitting me was gone.

We are still laying in bed looking at each other. His black hair where I wanted to put my hand in his hair and flatten it back down. His hard Cheek I wanted to feel and his lips I wanted to taste. What am I doing! Am I really thinking of Xandros his lip.

He is still looking at me and holding me into his arms. We both wouldn't move it felt too great to go out of bed. He looked at my lips and I feel myself getting warm inside. Then It happened he kissed me. We are kissing! I am kissing that horrible vampire that had taken me from my husband and let me do this game! I am turning insane!

I push him away after I felt him bite my lip what was starting to bleed. Running into the bathroom I close myself in. Letting out the breath I was holding. I feel bad about our kiss it wasn't what I wanted! Or was it? My mind is doing tricks with me. How could I feel something for him or for any vampire? My bond was great with Kado but Kado is gone and I miss him and our talks.

Later I go downstairs to get some food I was so hungry. At the dinner table, I look straight to Xandros that is back looking at me. I feel still the attraction pulling us to each other but I tried to hide it and take some food off the table.

"Blood moon is going to appear in two days, be prepared." He told me like I was going to a salon or something. But no I will go again in this kind of game where I could be killed.

"Xandros I'm not ready! I told Cozious and I tell you I can't do it!" Desperate I try to get out of this game.

"That doesn't matter what Hurius think. The selection is anonymous. It could be your teaming up with another vampire." He didn't care! He kissed me and he doesn't care if I would die.

Angry I walk back to the training room to throw some knives at a target that is on the wall. When I throw again a knife I almost hit Xandros who was standing really close to the target.

"What do you want!" I yell throwing another knife into the middle of the target where the red dot is placed. Xandros applause for me, which is weird to do.

"That was a great throw. I want you in our bitingroom after you are done here." He commanded me not even ask like the barbarian he is.

"I was motivated," He know exactly what I meant by that, he looked hurt what I know is only fake because he can't feel.

He walks away and I keep on throwing knives into the wall. My clothes ate wet from the sweat I had from all the throwing. My top sticks to my body and my tight yoga pants would I have to peel off my legs. I was going to my room to take a shower when that giant vampire takes me to the room Xandros was waiting for me. He pushed me in and I see Xandros sitting on the red couch.

"I smell! I wanted to take a shower, is that too much to ask?" I am so frustrated with him. Why not wait ten minutes what does ten minutes wait do to him he is 500 years old.

"I don't care! I want your blood to know." He stands up and takes me with him to the couch taking me on his lap and I feel his fangs going into my flesh. It felt even more excited now I was on his lap. I was moving because the feeling of him drinking at me made me so excited.

He was growling and trying to stop me from moving. He takes his fangs out of me sooner than he ever had done.

"Stop it, Cara! Or you have to feel the

consequences of your actions of still moving on me." He said it with a voice I had never heard of him. I don't know if I want to know what consequences he meant. Before he could say a thing again he bite me again but lower. It felt even tenser him bitting my shoulder. What is wrong with me. He had pushed me on the sofa and put his hands on my hips to not move for him. He is still sucking the blood out of my shoulder after he had sucked my neck.

Then it made me shiver. I don't know if I like him doing this to me. It felt too. Sensual to intense with him.
