Beauty and the Immortal: It started with a dig

[Mature Content] Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground.  Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal. Desperate, she sets out looking for the buried artefact that she once believed was a joke told by her grandmother.  But what do you do if you don't find the object, but a person instead? And not just any person, but an immortal being who was never meant to see daylight ever again.  Mallory is convinced that whoever created Hadeon Van Doren must have mixed in generous doses of evil, sadistic nature, and dangerously handsome looks. Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her.

Taste in the carriage

He wouldn't dare… Mallory quietly glared at him. Seeing him lean forward, her eyes widened. He definitely would!

As she slipped off her shoe, she questioned him, "Don't you come from a time when men didn't frivolously touch women?"

"Out of all the things I just said, when did you hear me say I want to touch you frivolously?" Hadeon arched an eyebrow, his voice rich with teasing undertones. "Rest assured, I will handle it with the utmost care," he added, his grin broadening mischievously. 

Mallory felt a flush of heat race up her neck, frustrated by his twisting of her words. Bringing her foot forward, she said, "Here."

"Monkey," Hadeon murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I meant your other foot—the one that's bleeding. What are you afraid of? I'm not going to devour you."

Damn his vampire senses, Mallory cursed him. She then replied, "Master Hades, you are a vampire." 

"Pureblooded vampire," Hadeon corrected with a smirk.
