Her Billionaire Vampire

by Fated Mates Romance

  What would I do now? I searched the door and the surrounding walls for any hidden button but found none. After staring at the door in anger for some minutes, I gave up and went to search for a book to read in his study.

  When he was away at work, I occasionally occupied myself by reading from his vast array of books. Ethan, amazingly, was quite a book lover.

  I opened the door to the opulent study and went in. I strode to the history section of the bookshelf. Picking a book on a historical tribe I’d never heard of, my attention fell on a thick black book beside it.

  Nothing was written on the book. Curiosity made me put back the book I’d initially picked. I tried taking the black book, but it wouldn’t budge. I struggled with it before I could pull it from the shelf.

  I’d initially thought the book was stuck to the shelf. When the shelf started moving, I acknowledged that it was some sort of lever.

  The bookshelf parted into a dark room. Cautiously, I stepped into it and looked around for a source of light. My hand felt the wall and pressed something like a button.

  My jaw dropped when I saw what lay there. It was a cellar of some sort. There were bottles upon bottles of a red liquid. At first, I thought it was red wine, but then I wondered why red wine would be placed in soda bottles. And why did Ethan have a vast supply of it?

  Reaching out to take one of the bottles, I twisted the cap open. Closing my eyes, I smelled it.

  Instantly, sweat beaded on my forehead. I began shaking convulsively with a pounding headache throbbing in my head. Sudden darkness overshadowed me. I dropped the bottle, welcomed the darkness, and dropped to the ground.

  I couldn’t say how long I lay there in a faint. I woke up and remembered everything.

  My name was Amy Saunders. I was a witch and an artist. I lived with my grandmother, who was the head of our clan of witches. I lost my parents at an early age, and she took me in.

  “Oh, Grandma,” I muttered. How worried she must’ve been when I didn’t come home that night.

  I recalled the mugging with a little shiver up my spine. Whoever had attacked me was either a vampire or a supernatural with the powers of speed. It was little wonder that before I could cast a spell of protection around myself, he struck me on the head.

  And then Ethan found me and brought me home. Ethan, the vampire.

  “Oh, my God!”

  I was horrified that I’d been living with a vampire all this while. What an aberration! No wonder he had a distinctive smell, he hated mirrors and garlic, he was nocturnal, and his eyes were always changing colors. And now, I just found out he was a blood drinker.

  Oh, how Grandma would be horrified that I’d been living with a vampire of all things. I wasn’t surprised that my grandmother and the other witches couldn’t find me. Ethan’s scent must have shielded them from tracking my location.

  I didn’t know if it was intentional; I didn’t care. I longed to see my beloved grandmother, to hug her, and to kiss her cheeks again. I opened my mouth to cast a spell so she’d be able to discern where I was, and then an image flashed in my mind.

  It was the night I found myself here. Ethan was gently cleaning my face. I recalled how he had taken my clothes to wash and dry them after bringing me a sandwich, a glass of milk, and some aspirin. I remembered him serving me breakfast in bed the following morning and some mornings after that until I could get out of bed without a blinding headache.

  Tears rolled down my eyes as the precious memories of the time we’d spent together raced through my mind.

  No! I couldn’t leave! I was desperately, madly, and hopelessly in love with Ethan. I didn’t care that he was a vampire. Love surpassed all things.

  Then I thought of my grandmother, my cousins, and my clan of witches. I missed them terribly, but I’d never been happier and at peace during my two weeks here with Ethan.

  This was the kind of love Grandma told me she’d shared with her husband before he died. Surely she would understand why I chose to be with Ethan rather than return home.

  A door opening and hurried footsteps coming my way made me dart my glance to the entrance of the room. Ethan stood there, looking as if he just lost the dearest thing in the world to him.

  “I swear, it’s synthetic,” were his words to me. I could see the worry in his eyes as they searched my face.

  Then he nodded and astutely said, “You’ve regained your memory.”

  Slowly, I pushed myself to my feet and regarded him with all the solemnness I could muster.

  “Change me into a vampire.”

  Chapter Ten

  I shook my head with disbelief. I didn’t think I’d heard right. Amy wanted me to change her into a vampire? Maybe I needed to clean my ears.

  “I can’t, Amy,” I said shortly when she continued to stare at me with those hypnotic hazel eyes of hers.

  “Why?” she asked as if she couldn’t believe that I denied her request, albeit outrageous.

  Looking her straight in the eyes, I tautly said, “You know why.”

  She nodded. “You know I’m a witch.”

  Sighing, I raked my fingers through my tresses. “I found out from my council president moments ago.”

  “It doesn’t change anything,” she firmly declared with pouting lips.

  I gawked at her with incredulous eyes. “Are you crazy? I’m a vampire, and you’re a witch. We’ve been enemies for centuries.”

  She took a step closer, shaking her head. “They have been foes for years, not us. We’re friends. I want to think we’re more than that.”

  I rubbed a hand across my face and eyed her warily. “What do you mean?”

  She stared at her bare feet for a few seconds. When she elevated her eyes to hold mine, I read in hers an emotion that left me bereft of words.

  “Would it help if I told you I was in love with you?”

  The breath whooshed out of my lungs. I didn’t wait for her to carry on before in one stride I was with her, dragging her into my arms, and doing what I’d craved to do the night I found her.

  My lips moved passionately against hers. She wrapped her arms around me, and I deepened the kiss. When I allowed her to come up for air, I cupped her face and placed kisses all over it. She burst into a fit of giggles.

  “I love you with every fiber of my being. I might not have a functioning heart, but I want you to know that you’ve captured it for life. I love that you were so bold to tell me your feelings. I’ve been so scared of telling you how I feel because the emotion is new to me, and I was afraid I would scare you away and ruin our friendship.”

  A tear rolled down her face. I caught it with my fingers. She smiled through her tears and said, “Then turn me into a vampire.”

  My hands dropped from her face as if they had been stung. My face hardened, and I shook my head.

  “No, Amy. You’ll lose your family if you become like me.”

  Her tongue dashed across her lips as her temples wrinkled. I could see she was thinking about what I just said. Oh, God, I wished with everything in me that I could make her mine for all time. However, I didn’t want to be selfish. Although we loved each other, we couldn’t be together.

  “All my life, my grandmother spoke of the love she shared with my grandfather. I vividly remember her telling me that if I ever found such love, I should hold it with both hands, and never let go.”

  More tears fell from her eyes as she smiled. “I’ve found the love she talked about with you. I’m twenty-four years old, old enough to know the real deal when it comes. If I write her a letter explaining everything, I’m a hundred percent sure she will understand, forgive me, and accept my decision.”

  Her passionate words had me lowering my head to capture her lips again. Dear God, I loved this woman with a passion. I would never let her go.

  “I’ve spent many years on earth. As a result, I, too, know that I’ll never find a love like this again if I let it go. I was so devastated at the thought of you dying and leaving me that I wanted to let you go.
That was the reason I went to my council to seek for help. I love you, Amy. I’ll never let you go.”

  “I love you, too, Ethan.”

  I bent a little and swung her in my arms. I’d made up my mind to make her become like me. We could be together for eternity. The feeling was awesome.

  Amy wrapped her hands around my neck as I led the way to my room. We kissed all the way there. With just a kick, I opened the door.

  She snatched her lips from mine and started giggling. “I tried sneaking into your room, but it was locked. You opened it with just a kick.”

  I laughed. “My presence opened it.”

  She bit me on the neck, and I laughed. I entered the room with her in my arms. My room was no different from other parts of the apartment—done in shades of white. I was determined not to be the dark and ominous vampire even though my personality was like that.

  I gently laid her on my king-sized bed. I could see the nervousness in her eyes. I paused to regard her keenly.

  “Are you all right? I’ll stop if you’re not ready.”

  Blushing and avoiding my intense gaze, she replied, “It’s not that.”

  “What is it, my love?”

  “I…I haven’t done it before.”

  Astonished, I asked, “You haven’t had sex before?”

  She nodded, trying to hide her face under the pillows.

  “You mean you’re a virgin?” I stupidly asked.

  “Duh,” she murmured from under the pillow.

  I grinned. “Am I allowed to ask why?” I removed the pillow.

  With a reddened face, she answered, “I’d lose some of my abilities. And Grandma’s talk of true love made me resolve to wait for the right man.”

  Overcome with so much emotion, I crushed my lips with hers. She was going to be mine and mine alone indeed.

  “I’ll be gentle, I promise,” I assured her when I released her lips.

  My tongue delved into her mouth in a hot kiss. I was burning to be inside her, but I had to take things slowly and gently, seeing it was her first time. I didn’t want to put her off it for good.

  I bathed her great body with kisses before slowly taking off her nightshirt. She had a beautiful body which I worshipped thoroughly with kisses. Her moans of pleasure were so intoxicating; it almost drove me wild.

  “You’re exquisite,” I told her with huskiness lacing my voice.

  I hastily took off my coat and helped her with the buttons on my shirt. My hands trembled, and tremors ran through my body as her inexperienced hands moved up and down my bare chest.

  If care wasn’t taken, I would lose control and hurt her. I had to be extremely careful. I rose and quickly divested myself of my trousers and boxers. Her eyes enlarged when they took in my manhood.

  I joined her in bed. “Don’t be scared, Amy.”

  “I’m not,” she replied. “I trust you.”

  “I love every part of your body,” I said as my mouth caught one of her nipples. She arched her body off the bed, moaning with pleasure.

  From sucking and caressing her breasts, my hand trailed down her body to reach her core. She was already wet and ready for me. The knowledge got me increasing in size and further hardening. I explored her most intimate place, enjoying the whimpers she made as she bit down on her bottom lip, hard.

  “Please, I can’t take it anymore. I need you now,” she begged.

  I needed no further urging as I spread her legs apart and positioned my legs in between her thighs.

  “It’s going to hurt at first, but it will get better.”

  “I know,” she responded with tautly closed eyes.

  “In the process of my release, that might be when I’ll transform you. The entrance of my fangs against your skin might hurt a little, then you’ll feel sensations all over your body with changes to your eye color. I—”

  “Are you going to talk me to death instead of making me your woman?”

  A bark of laughter escaped my lips at her complaint. I’d only been trying to prepare her. My head dipped to capture her lips. I took one of the pillows and placed it under her cute buttocks.

  Then my hands lifted her to accept my thrust. Although my room was air conditioned, sweat covered my forehead as my shaft slid into her tight depth.

  I could see the pain in her eyes as I drove slowly and further into her resisting core. My mouth swallowed her scream as I finally drove myself into her, shattering her maidenhead.

  Slowly, I began moving in and out of her. I couldn’t describe the feeling of making love for the very first time with the woman I loved. It was something out of this world.

  Amy arched her hips, inviting me to go deeper and faster. I obliged. I began to smoothly thrust in and out of her as sensations shimmered all over my body.

  She was so tight; I could barely hold myself to last long so she could get her pleasure before mine. My pace increased as the vibrations kept building. I rode higher and higher on a cloud of pleasure. I took Amy along with me.

  After long minutes of thrusting in and out of my beloved, I began to sense that she was about to find her release. The tingling in my loins told me mine was near also.

  Desiring for her to have both pleasures, my fangs came out. Just as we both reached the peak of our desires, I leaned in. My fangs sunk into her neck, and she cried out as she came. I was careful not to go too deep even with the explosive release racking my body.

  I watched with enjoyment as she began to shake massively, and her eyes started changing color. She was all mine! Her change would take full effect in twenty-four hours.

  Exhausted from the dual activity, I fell on the bed beside her. The trembling would go on for a while, but she would be fine. I gathered her into my arms even as she shook. I dragged the sheet over our bodies as I waited for the tremor to subside.

  “Are you all right?” I asked when she eventually stopped shaking.

  Smiling like a cat that licked clean a bowl of cream, she replied, “Yes. Never been better.”

  “You won’t get all of my abilities just yet, but it will come,” I informed her, kissing her lips.

  “I don’t mind. I’ll wait. We’ve got eternity to spend together,” she remarked, returning my kiss.

  Intense love for her filled me. “Write the letter to your family. I’ll send it to them.”

  “Okay,” she agreed, yawning.

  “Thank you for the huge sacrifice you made for the sake of our love. I’ll love you and cherish you forever.”

  She giggled and yawned again. “Well, you better keep your promise because I’m going to be around for a long time to make sure you do.”

  I chuckled, thanking providence for leading me to her that fateful night. She was mine forever!

  Thank you!
