Chapter 10

My keys jingled as I pushed them into the lock, a happy sound. Home. Where there were no Jonases or Wattsons. Well, there better not be.

I hooked my jacket on the coat stand and threw my bag under it. Without looking properly, I stumbled through the hallway towards the living room.

Bang.

“For fangs sake!” I shouted as I stumbled into a pile of boxes and tripped down on the rug.

Footsteps sounded as someone ran towards me. “Lucinda?”

“Over here.”

William hurried into the hallway, panic across his handsome features. “Are you alright? Where’s the danger?”

“No danger, just mess. What’s with all the cardboard boxes?”

His face turned sour. “Oh, right. That. I hoped you’d tell me what’s with all the gifts.”

I groaned. “No, not more gifts from Derek.”

“Oh, yes. There are more in the living room. The doorbell has been ringing all day.”

I followed his gaze and snickered softly. “Is that why the doorbell is lying on top of the dresser?”

He grimaced sheepishly. “It was driving me crazy.”

“I see.”

“Here, let me help you up,” he offered.

My chest tightened. He was mad and annoyed with me, I knew he was. And yet, he remained polite, helpful, respectful. He was the perfect man and my stupid pride had caused him to be hurt.

His hand wrapped around my wrist as he pulled me up. As he pulled me off the floor, I was catapulted into him.

I thudded against his hard chest, invited into his familiar scent and touch. My breath hitched in my throat, my heart skipped a beat.

“Hey,” he said, his voice softened.

“Hi,” I whispered back, my cheeks flaming hot from the close proximity to my fiancé. We’d known each other all these years and while we weren’t strangers to each others’ touch, it was still new, foreign, exciting.

The air crackled with anticipation as I pressed myself up on my toes. I wanted to be closer to him, impossibly closer. His eyes were filled with such devotion and love, I could see his affection for me shimmer in them like shells in a crystal river. He was handsome, so handsome it made my heart ache.

His eyelashes luscious, his nose strong, his lips red. They were calling for me, calling to be kissed.

“L-Lucinda?” he asked, the confusion hitching his breath.

“William?”

“I thought we agreed to wait,” he murmured, yet his hands snuck around my waist and pulled me tighter into him. Like he never wanted to let me go.

“We did… But right now, I’m not sure why,” I admitted, staring up at his mouth. His fangs elongated, stronger and sharper than most. One of the only features that separated the nobles from the common vampires these days.

“Me either,” he responded softly, his breath warm on my skin.

As his head dipped towards mine, I laced my arms around his neck and threaded my fingers in the back of his hair. The intimacy made my head spin and my blood boil.

There was just one thought racing through my mind, one word. One feeling. William, William, William.

My eyes flitted back to his lips until I tore them away.
