The truth was, I actually meant those words. I thought Father hired him to keep me confined to the castle, which was something Father wanted to do. I was sure of it. However, it seemed that my bodyguard did have a mind of his own and he was using it. I liked that. I still didn’t like being followed wherever I went, but at least I wasn’t kept on a leash.
“I’m here to keep you safe,” I heard him say, his voice deep and dark, just like the night around us. “As long as you are safe, you could be anywhere.”
I turned to him, unable to resist smiling. “I’m not sure Father would agree with that.”
He shrugged indifferently. “The job was to keep you safe. I have no plans of telling him how to rule his kingdom, and I don’t expect to be told how to do my job.”
I liked this even more. Maybe this wasn’t just some mindless vampire desperate for money hired by the king to be his daughter’s bodyguard. This was actually what I thought initially.
Staring at him, I felt the magnetic pull between us. It was something electric, surging through my entire body.
“We are safe here,” I assured him.
He shook his head. “You may think that, but being who you are, danger always lurks in the shadows, where you least expect it. Remember that.”
I couldn’t resist commenting on this. Slowly, I took another step towards him. I thought he would pull away, ordemand that we go back to the castle, but instead, he stared me down, his gaze intensified.
“Well, you are a vampire,” I remind him of something he surely didn’t need to be reminded of. “Are you a danger to me?”
I could see that look in his eyes. Caught between duty and sheer desire, he hesitated to speak. I’d crossed the line. I knew that. And yet, I didn’t want to go back. We had this stolen moment to ourselves. There was no one around. Whatever happened here, it would remain our little secret. In his eyes, I could see a reflection of my own longing.
“Do you think I’m a danger to you?” he answered my question with another question.
I knew that I’d never met anyone like him. And it was all pure chance, pure luck. Very soon, he would be out of my life, and I would regret not seizing this chance to kiss him. I knew he wanted it as much as me.
In a bold and impulsive move, my longing for being loved, being held, being kissed overwhelmed me. I couldn’t resist this magnetic pull any longer. In that moment, under the bewitching moonlight, I closed the gap that was between us and pressed my lips against his.
Time seemed to stand still as our kiss unfurled, a blend of deep passion and tenderness. Our lips and tongues danced in sync, each brush and caress conveying a depth of desire we didn’t dare to express any other way. The world around us faded into oblivion. This stolen moment had become ours. Unforgettable and as such, it would last forever.
My fingers raked through his curls, as he adjusted his face so he could kiss me more deeply, more passionately. The gentle rustling of the leaves in the background seemed to harmonize with the intense beating of my heart.
We both surrendered to this power immediately. His hands locked around my waist, pulling me closer. Theboundaries that had been there up until this moment, vanished completely. Our tongues danced together to the sound of music only we could hear. A million stars exploded in front of my closed eyes, as I completely got lost. There was no right or wrong. There was no past or future. Just this very moment, and it belonged to us.
Slowly, I felt him lowering me to the grass. It tickled my bare calves. I smiled against his lips pressed to mine. His hands gripped hard at me, unwilling to let go. I didn’t want him to. I wanted this moment to last forever.
His hand slid up, cupping my breast. I moaned softly, as heat unfurled between my thighs. Desire exploded somewhere deep inside of me and I knew I wanted this more than anything else.
When he finally pulled his lips away from mine, he was breathing heavily, his eyes watery and deep. His lips were parted, slightly moist, glistening. His hand was still on my breast, pressing at it possessively. His other hand was holding the hem of my nightgown.
“Should I stop?” he asked, still breathless, his voice the memory of a million lives lived together all coming back at once.
“No,” I smiled back at him, crashing my lips against his even harder this time, to show him that I wanted this as much as he did.

This was wrong.
We were not supposed to be doing this.
Yet, I couldn’t stop myself. Not after I heard her moan against my lips as she kissed me with the ferocity of a wild animal.
I hadn’t been with a woman in what seemed to be an eternity, and before Lilith kissed me, I didn’t think I needed a woman in my life. They were just unnecessary trouble, of which I had more than enough already. But her kiss awakened something inside of me, that slumbering animal, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to stop myself. That was why I had to ask her, and once she assured me she wanted this as much as I did, that was when the avalanche of desire overpowered us both.
I felt like tearing that thin satin nightgown off of her, right after I slid her jacket down her arms. But I had to be gentle. I couldn’t fuck her like a feral wildebeest, although that was exactly what I wanted, because that was what she had awakened in me.
I continued to kiss her, deep down hoping that nothing would interrupt us. My hand slid underneath her nightgown, pulling down her panties, which she shook off of her legs with ease, as she gripped at my cheeks with both hands, ravenous for my kisses. This only intensified my desire, if such a thing was even possible.
