Dangerously Yours Till Eternity

“We need to take a break, and I’ll reintroduce the feeding but slowly this time around, I’ll have to control myself too. That will be take a lot of control and discipline. Also, we preferably shouldn’t do it during sex for now, it might help.”

“Ahhh,” she groaned, not able to hide how clearly displeased she was at the turn the situation had now taken. “I was hoping that would still remain.”

“Once the training is over, we can do it anytime.” He offered in an attempted consolation to himself and her.

She disposed the broken mug pieces and went back to the counter, contemplating on whether or not to prepare another cup of tea, but she was already drained out of all her excitement for the morning, something a cup of warm tea could no longer fix, so she turned away and headed to the sitting room instead, flopping down on the nearest sofa.

She just felt suddenly drained of all her energy.

So drained.

Chris was right, she was addicted. If the mention of him no longer feeding from her for a while got her like this, then going on with the feeding without any training definitely would have worse in store for her.

“So, will you have to go back to feeding from other Life Sources then?” As much as she wanted to hide it, jealousy was thick in her voice.

“No.” He laughed. “I don’t want to.”

She smiled instinctively, but wasn’t that just selfish?

“But RedWine is not enough. It can’t hold you for long. You said that yourself.”

“I’ll just have to drink a lot of it and hopefully I won’t have to wait that–” he stopped abruptly, mumbling something to someone who was with him at the other end.

Ivy had thought that he was alone until now.

She could hear the person grumbled something back to him in the background. Something along the line of “sick lovers”.

That was definitely Jett.

“Something just came up. I have to go.”

“Does it have to do with your brother?”

“Yes,” he replied with an heavy breath and she decided to drop the topic.

She had no aim of pursuing it anyway.

“Alright. Be safe. Call me back later in day and let’s start this training as soon as possible. Just knowing that you won’t feed from me makes me feel like I’m gonna die.”

“You won’t.” A muffled chuckle. “Trust me.”

“I do.” A moment of silence passed between them before she spoke up again. “Chris”

“Yes?”

“Thank you for my parents’ gift. It means a lot to me.”

“You’re welcome, My Love. If all goes well soon, I will finally be able to meet them.”

“Not until the year is over.”

That was when the contract of her marriage would come off.

The contract didn’t explicitly state that she couldn’t get married but it was common logic to know that as long as that marriage with her mysterious husband was still valid, she couldn’t have another.

She was determined to wisely wait it out.

The first time she had told Chris that he wouldn’t be able to meet her parents until the year was over, the only question he asked was “why?”. She had partly lied to him that she it was because she wanted to be sure about their relationship before taking it to the next level and he had readily agreed after that.

Promising to also introduce her to his House fully when that time came.

Although, Chris had already explained to her that he was orphan in a sense that he had moved away from his parents for so long. If they were alive or dead, he didn’t know. Back then he had spoken like he had no family and all he had was Jett as a long time friend and some other vampires. It was only recently Ivy had discovered that he even had a brother.

An elder brother at that.

That made her wonder what other many secrets she was supposed to know that he was keeping from her.

Anyways they were already in the seventh month of the contract and soon, all these waiting would be over for good.

She would finally stop feeling left out of things all the time.

“I love you,” she said.

“Love you too.”

The a beep as the line we y dead.

In no time, she was speaking to her parents.

After a conversation with her them to ensure all was going well, she tried to distract herself by getting minor chores done, then freshening up.

But no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t help how her mind drifted to the question she had thought of yesterday before Chris kisses on her neck was able to rid of the need to even find an answer to it.

But now, thinking of all the possible secrets Chris could be keeping from her made her think of it again.

Was there a chance that Chris was her husband? He did say that he was unmarried but he had said he was unmarried ‘like her’, and considering the fact that he knew of her marriage that was cancelled because she didn’t show up, could it be that he was referring to his situation as just the same- because his real bride hadn’t showed up and he ended up with a fake one.

Her heart picked up the pace as her fingers moved fast over her screen with vigour.

Maybe she didn’t need to wait the year to get her answers. Maybe she could get them right now!

After the search, she came up with a clearer perspective of the whole situation.

Although there was barely anything on the internet about Chris, Jett or even Girald, but that had even confirmed the great possiblity that she was headed in the right path.

There was no question about whether her Christopher was rich and powerful enough to be the husband she remembered to be married to. He was all of that and more, that had already been made clear.

Although, she couldn’t see him in the dangerous light she had viewed him that day, from how he had acted over the call, she thought to herself that he could just be hiding that side of him from her.

Another problem solved.

Her hands grew sweaty the more she casted her mind back and tried to reconstruct how things might have really played out, right from her wedding day, mentally putting Chris in the place of her mysterious groom.

The clearly abnormal vow they had exchanged, had unknowingly heightened the bond they shared but didn’t know of yet. It could be one of reasons she started having those numerous wet dreams about him to begin with.

The marriage had solely been something of responsibility that had immediately lost its value once it was discovered that the Bride was the wrong one. Having no use for her, he didn’t even attempt to find out who she was, and since their were two people handling these information, Girald for the dirty work and Jett for the clean one, there was zero chance of him finding out.

He had concentrated on ways to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Hence, the contract. But Chris had a good heart, and ensured the contract had a lot of freedom.

Also, he might have wanted to drag out his miraculous singleness, hence dragging the period of the contract for a year.

A shiver ran down her spine, as her husband’s voice claiming to be too busy to attend to his wrong bride situation, ran through her memory.

It had sounded nothing like Chris. Maybe because he had used some voice changing app.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She sighed, already exhausted with all her brain storming, she was even hungry now, but she had to go on.

For someone like Chris, a Potential was more important than a wife he never wanted. Although after finding out that he had a Potential, he would want to bring the contract with his so called wife to come to an abrupt end, but he was a man that respected agreements. So, he didn’t.

She gasped.

Wow, it had all finally clicked in her head now.

Chris was her husband and he waiting for the contract to expire just as she was too!
