Sallack chuckles, bending down and placing a delicate kiss to my lips.
“That’s what I was going to say,” He says humorously as I laugh along with him. I feel so safe in his arms, as if no one could ever hurt me.
“I'll see you tonight beautiful. I have loads to do otherwise I would come join you.”
“Nu that’s fine, I’ll see you a bit later.” I kiss his lips again, pulling back to turn around as he lets a small growl escape.
I smile up at him with a wink, turning and walking down the small corridor. He does it again, just as I get to the entrance he takes me by the waist and spins me around to face him.
“One more kiss!” He tells me before taking my lips in a beautiful, yet hungry kiss. Kill me now!
I make my way back to Den at the bar with a huge smile on my face, from Sallack’s mind-blowing kisses. He is talking to the new bar man, as I walk over they both look over to me smiling.
“Hey Zara this is Dom, Dom, and Zara.”
I put my hand out to greet him and he takes it in both of his large hands and kisses it saying,
“Welcome to Nickel Zara, it nice to meet you.”
“Thank you, nice to meet you to Dom.” I say, but quickly pressing my lips together as I don’t want to get caught staring at him open mouthed.
Dom is another stunningly handsome man, with dirty blond hair, little over 6 foot and the sexiest dimples when he smiles. I look away quickly before he catches my gaze lingering. Dom grins at Den and gets back to making the other customers drinks as Den nudges me with a twinkle in his eye.
“Zara are you blushing? You’ve been doing that a lot in the last 24 hours,” He says chuckling.
If only he knew the other reason for my blushing, I will tell him about kissing Sallack later, I just want to keep this my little secret a little longer.
“Uh I know it’s so embarrassing, why the hell is everyone so good looking around here it’s ridiculous, we should have moved here years ago,” I say with a wink.
We both burst into laughter because he knows I’m not like that. I have only ever had one lover, a boyfriend of 2 years after school, he was only a distraction from the heartache of never having Den want me how I wanted him to, he never loved me, and it was only when I found him with another girl, that we broke up and neither of us really upset.
I have had boyfriends but I have never really felt the butterflies like you’re meant to feel when you’re attracted to someone, so any relationship I was in never got serious.
Den and I look at the paper together. While he rings around, I get talking to Dom, getting to know him a little. I find out that he works in the club also, which is great I get a good vibe from him, so I will look forward to work even more now.
After 15 minutes, Den comes back over with news.
“Let's get going, I have managed to get us a viewing on a house just up the road in an hour, it’s a 3 bedroom house, it sounds real good to. Might want to put something else on your feet.” We both look down at my 3-inch heels.
“Yeah, good idea ok I’ll be back in a sec.”
I meet Den outside of the bar. The day is wonderful, clear blue sky and fresh air. I’m actually looking forward to the walk. We talk all the way up to the entrance of the house; it has only taken 35 minutes to walk from the bar, with the directions that Dom kindly gave us. We walk up to the house, and it’s lovely, more than I expected. It is a two-story brick building with white window frames and front door, large porch with a swinging chair. To top it all off, the house is positioned in what looks like a football pitch with enormous trees surrounding the back of the property. I’m blown away and I we’ve not even seen the inside.
“Look at this place, how perfect is this Zara?”
“It is perfect, do you think it we be able to afford it?”
“Uh hu, yeah we will. It’s within our price range; I have already asked the prices and everything else we need to know about costs babe.”
“No way really there must be something wrong with it?”
As we are still looking in amazement, a small red car pulls up. The woman that steps out to meet us has the most beautiful long glossy black hair, big brown eyes, and a body like sin. I sneak a look at Den to see his face, yes; he is smiling like a 5 year old that has been given a bowl of sweets.
“Hello there, Den and Zara Carter?” She says politely smiling at us both.
I always feel weird when someone says our surnames when we are together, as it makes us look like we are married or that we are brother and sister, but really we just automatically got our adoptive parents surnames when we went to live with them.
“Yes. Thank you for agreeing to show us the house at short notice Sarah.”
“Oh no problem the house was my grandparents, I hope you will like it. Shall we?”
We follow her up to the front door while she gets the correct key in the lock.
“I hope not to sound rude but why don’t you live in the house, it is beautiful?” I ask curiously.
“Oh no that’s fine, when I mate…married my husband we moved into his home. This house was left to me by my grandparents. It is a very lovely house let me show you around.”
Poor Den looks taken back by the husband remark, if I was to tell the truth so am I a bit, she seems so nice it would have been lovely to see Den date someone decent.
We step in the hallway with a kitchen to the right, with a big solid wood table surrounded by 4 chairs in the middle, white surfaces and a big 6-ring cooker. Wow, it is so clean and bright. The living room is as clean as the kitchen, with red and gold wallpaper and brown couches and a huge window. The bedrooms have double beds and plain walls, two rooms are on suite, they are on the top floor, and then the third bedroom is on the ground floor to the back of the house.
Perfect, just perfect. I need to know the catch, because there definitely is one.
“It’s amazing. What do you think Den?”
“It is. Are you leaving everything here?” He asks her as we both look over to Sarah awaiting her answer. God that would be amazing not having to worry about buying furniture.
“Yes everything is here for you to use if needed, But…” Oh here we go with the ‘but’, please do not be to bigger ‘but’ I silently pray to God it is not something like; share with her 16-year brother or even worse sister!
“…We would like you to maintain the grass and flowers out the front and any odd jobs you find if you would manage them yourself as my husband is very busy with his work as am I.”
“Oh no that’s perfectly fine; we would have done that anyway. We will respect your house as if it were our own.”
Sarah is very happy to let us rent the house from her; we end up sitting on the porch for over two hours just chatting. We arrange to meet with her and her husband Merik at the bar Monday afternoon to sign the agreement and transfer the deposit, also first 2 months rent. Sarah very kindly agrees to let us move in on the Monday, telling us that ‘friends of Sallack are friends of mine’ and offers us a ride back to the bar, which we accept graciously. We thank Sarah for the ride and watch her pull away.
“This feels unreal; I don’t think I have ever felt so happy,”
I mean it, I really feel like this is the place for us. This is what we have been searching for, for what feels like forever.
“I know babe, we deserve this ok. We can start to be really happy and have a home.”
“Thank you for this, always being there with me, loving and taking care of me.”
“You do the same for me babe. I fucking love you Zara.”
Den pulls me by the waist to stand in front of him, resting his chin on the top of my head while we stand in the sun, feeling the warm ray’s heat us lovingly. Letting the last 24 hours catch up with us.
Walking though the entrance of the bar, Sallack is standing over to the right side of the bar, surrounded by what looks like 10 men, all looking dark dangerous and so HOT. Definitely something in the water, or all related to Sallack?
>
Sallack looks me straight in the eye mid conversation; he is so gorgeous, I’m sure he has got better looking since I last saw him? I smile at him adding a playful wink, making him smile widely in return, this is when the rest of the men all look behind them straight at me and Den. I smile to them to and quickly turn on my heel to face Den out of being embarrassed, being looked upon by so many good-looking men has made me feel like a school girl. He gives the men a nod of the head and takes my hand leading us to the bar to get drinks.
Sallack leaves with his friends soon after Den and I sit down, but not before kissing my cheek and telling me, he will see me later. It pisses Den off, by the low growl he sends our way, but me, well I wanted a proper kiss with him, one like earlier would have been perfect. Really, I’m just over the moon that I even caught his eye.
We spend a few hours surrounded by the locals, answering there questions, which I think they were only making us talk so much because they like our accent. We excuse ourselves, heading up to our room. Den flops on his bed, so I go to sit next to him. I love being so close to someone without it needing to be sexual. Even though Den is one of the sexiest people I know, it’s just that we don’t see each other that way, well he never saw me in that way.
When I was 16 I had the biggest crush on Den, but he never knew, and I never told him, there was no point. He loves me but he will never be in love with me, I didn’t want to make him feel guilty for refusing me and ruining our friendship. So instead of telling him I was madly in love with him, I watched him sleep around with hundreds of girls, and be the player he is. However, that’s a pain long gone now, Kind of!
Den pulls me over so that I’m laying directly on top him; he holds my face in his hands, his brilliant green eyes locking with mine.
“It's been a good day hasn’t it beautiful?”
“It has been perfect, I’m so happy Den. This feels so right,”
I lay my head on his chest and snuggle in to him, he tenses and growls a little and then I feel his hardness.
“Sorry Zara can’t help it I’m a man after all, and it’s been a while?”
“Ha, what it’s been like, 4 days!”
I know that because I had to listen to him make a girl scream out orgasms all night long on the night before we left England.
“Oh it won’t be that long I have already had 3 offers since arriving.”
“Shut up!” I say laughing at the proud expression on his face.
I slip off his body and cuddle into his side. I want to tell Den about my kiss with Sallack, he is my best friend after all, but Den doesn’t like it when men take an interest in me. He says they are only after one thing! I get that’s the way for some people, like Den for instance, he’s a total man whore. There is something different about Sallack, I trust him completely and I feel like he is the one I have been looking for.
“Hey Den, I kissed Sallack earlier!” I say with excitement.
“Oh you little hussy,” He says teasingly whilst poking my ribs.
“What do you think of him Den?” I ask, wanting to hear Den tell me the truth.
“He seems ok I guess, just don’t go rushing into things!” He says with a serious tone, and a gentle growl.
“Cool, cos I have a date with him tonight.”
“Wow he was quick!”
I laugh at Den’s shocked face, while I see his mind working over time.
I snuggle into his side as I shut my eyes and concentrate on Den’s breathing I slip into a blissful sleep, Dreaming of Sallack.
Chapter 4
When I awake later that night from my nap, the time on the mini clock next to Den’s bed is flashing 7:52. Oh, thank Goddess I haven’t over sleep and missed my date with Sallack. Sitting up I look around the dark room best I can for Den, he must have gone back down to the bar. I lay back on the bed just for a moment, trying to find energy to get in the shower and changed, when I feel a shiver all over my body and my heart starts pounding in my chest.
“My beautiful little one, are you well this evening?” The stranger from the first night sits on the bed beside me, looking dangerous but so sexy. Why am I not freaking out that this man is in our bedroom on Den’s bed? With me? Not to mention he is a VAMPIRE!
“Your safe love, relax.”
I nod my reply as I’m not sure I can manage to move my mouth.
“Can I kiss you?” He asks with a devilish grin.
He has kissed me before! Why have I only just remembered; did he make me forget, is that even possible?
“Yes I made you forget me little one.”
“Um, do you know what I’m thinking?”
However, as I say it I swallow the lump in my throat! Not really wanting to hear the truth.
“You’re safe with me I promise.” He grins down at me showing his fangs!
“Why are you here?” I ask sounding nervous.
“Shh, little one let me taste you.”
Oh shit he wants to suck me dry, I need to get away, ASAP!
“Don’t come near me! Just cos you’re good looking, doesn’t mean I will let you drain me!”
“Love, I would never hurt you, I promise you this. I just want a kiss.”
“You said taste, and you have fangs, you’re a Vampire!”
He looks at me questionably. I just can’t help but think of how much I do want to kiss him. Everything about him calls to me.
“I want to taste your mouth, no biting I promise.”
I gaze into his ocean blue eyes, transfixed by the beauty of him; every sensible reason telling me to run out screaming is now overpowered by my desire. How can I find strength to resist him when his nearness alone drives me to distraction? Leaning forward just as he does, our lips touch as I feel the fire in my stomach, not butterflies, fire. A feeling of pure ecstasy tingles in my blood, as my heart beats dangerously fast. I have never shared a kiss filled with so much sexual desire. He pulls me up by my waist to sit on his lap, our thighs touching. I automatically tug my fingers though his hair, pulling him in closer, needing more of him, wanting all of him. He pulls away first as a feeling of loneliness creeps in.
“I have to go, I will see you soon little one.”
“Why are you leaving now?”
“Look at me love, lie down and shut your eyes for me?”
I nod and layback down on the bed, feeling empty knowing that he’s going to make me forget, but feeling terrible for kisses two men on the same day. Nevertheless, I won’t regret it, ever.
“Why can’t I remember you this time?”
“Now is not the time my love, soon I promise.” He reply’s sadly.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Yes little one.”
“What is your name?”
“Ah love. This is the question you would ask a Vampire; his name? My name is Parrise. What is yours little one?” He pronounces it Pa-Reese.
“Zara,” I tell him. My voice betraying me, as it comes out more as a moan.
His fingers stroke my cheek, gliding down my neck then in between my breasts. My hearts pounding, I want more. I have never wanted anything so desperately then what I do now.
“When I’m gone, clear me from your mind, forget my name, my face, my touch,” He tells me as his cool fingers travel down my stomach getting lower and lower. I nod my head ‘yes’, feeling his lips on my forehead.
The sound of a key in the door makes me jump up in shock. Den flicks the lights on, as my hands automatically cover my eyes from its harshness of the contrast from dark to light.
“What is that discussing smell? It’s as if someone has died.”
“Oh yeah thanks, nice to see you to. I was going to get a shower!”
“I didn’t mean you, it’s sort of gone now anyway ….weird. What are you doing?”
“I just woke up.” I say confused by his question.
“You wanna come down with me?”
“Yeah sure I’m just going to get a quick shower I’ll be down in 20” I reassure him with a smil
e.
“Nu its ok, I’ll wait here for you. Go on,” He slaps my bum to get me moving to the bathroom. I must have had a fantastic dream, I feel so aroused!
Out of the shower, I walk over to my side of the room to find something to wear. I pick out skinny black jeans that hug my butt and pink strapless top, matched with black wedges. Once dressed and my makeup is applied I give Den a nudge as he’s got his eyes shut, half asleep.
“Ok that was quick…oh you look sexy as hell.”
“Umm so do you,” I tell him eyeing him head to toe.
Den has on dark blue jeans, a tight white shirt and brown soft leather shoes. I have the hottest best friend.
“Come on lets go. Sallack waiting for you and a table of woman are waiting for me!” He says as he humps the air.
“You are such a whore!” I say as I move quickly past him, swinging open the bedroom door, hoping he doesn’t catch me!
“Wahhh Den!” I scream as I he lifts me over his shoulder and lays both of his big warm hands on my butt while running down the stairs.
“Oh I’ll show you whore. Is this wall is looking good to you baby?”
“NO!”
He lifts me up against the wall; waiting for someone to walk past us, as we are next to the bathrooms it won’t be long!
“Ok, I won’t say it again, promise!”
“Uh can you hear that? Some ones coming, game on baby!” He says with a wide grin.
Den starts humping me, while throwing his head back making out as if he is having an orgasm. What makes it worse is whoever is seeing this must really thing we are up to something, as Den is so large they can’t see much of me squashed into the wall laughing hard.
“Thanks babe,” He says loudly as he kisses my lips, letting me down gently.
An old woman is standing watching with her mouth wide open. I’m going to kill Den; He loves to embarrass me like this. I need to learn how to run faster.
“Oh um… that wasn’t what it looked like.” I try to tell her, but she just holds up her hands and shakes her head.
