CHASTITY
âYesterday we had my fatherâs funeral. It hurts horribly to know I will never get to see him again,â I admitted. I didnât know what came over me or why I felt like I could open up to a vampire, but there was something different about Lust. He showed me that today when he saved me.
If he was heartless, he would have let me die. But he didnât. That had to mean something. My heart wanted it to mean something. Lust saved me from that other vampire. The fear that coursed through me while I was laying there, preparing myself for death still lingered in my mind. I really thought I was going to die.
Lust stared at the river in the distance and didn't utter a word, only grabbed my hand in a show of comfort. Was this affection? It was almost human. It was unlike him to not talk about himself and how great he was, this was a different version of him I hadn't seen before.
âThank you for saving me, Lust, but just so you know, I would have figured something out.â I wasnât sure if I was trying to convince him or myself. It was uncomfortable being this vulnerable in front of a stranger when I was always taught to be strong and to stand on my own. My sharp attitude was just a byproduct of how hard I had grown to be over the years of relying solely on myself.
Anger flashed across Lustâs face before he scolded me coldly. âYou would have been killed and drained dry, that vampire could have been a reject and an outcast so there is no telling how long it had been since he had eaten. You're lucky I got there in time,â he growled.
It almost sounds like he actually had feelings. Maybe he wasn't the dick I thought he was. Despite the tone of his voice, I leaned up against his shoulder and rested my head against him once more. Slowly, he rubbed his hand through my hair.
âSo why did you save me back there?â I had to know. Maybe he was in a vulnerable moment just like I was.
âBecause I want to fuck you while youâre alive not while youâre a vampire. Vampire pussy is cold. I want to come in you while it's warm,â he purred, licking his lips while he looked directly at my pussy.
Thereâs the asshole I remember. No matter his attempt to be callous, I knew it was an act, the same way my sass came out when I became defensive. We were more alike than we realized.
I crossed my legs so he could stop staring at me with hunger.
My attitude came boiling out to match his. âEvery fucking time I let my guard down, you open your big fucking mouth. Just shut up Lust.â
He was unbelievable. I leaned away from him and stopped talking.
He looked incredulous and I stifled a knowing laugh.
âDid I say something wrong? Why are you acting like you're mad?â he asked, oblivious to the fact he was an absolute dick most of the time.
