Solitary Vampiress and Puppy Duke

“Do you believe in the rumours?” She asked, tilting his chin up to meet her gaze. A surge of fear overwhelmed him as his throat went dry, her eyes were clearly abnormal and animalistic, a predator which could devour him at any second. Yet after getting a good look, his eyes begun to sparkle brightly. His lips turned into a smile almost instantly, as he reached for her hands. Despite her’s being frozen solid, he seemed to pay no mind to it and it made her a bit stiff. “If you’re really a vampire, would you like my blood to repay you?” He asked, no hint of nervousness in his voice. In his eyes, she was like a beautiful gem which just saved him, even if she had left him out in the halls to freeze for the last week. Surprised, she took a single step back before slapping his hand away. “It seems the cold has made you delusional. How annoying.” She growled lifting her hand up in the air and flicking her wrist, sending him flying. By her strength, he’d end up at the bottom of the mountain if he survived. Turning her heel she immediately teleported back to her mansion, returning to the empty halls of her solitary lifestyle. That was the first time in centuries she spoke freely with a human, she nearly forgot how warm they were. Nevertheless, she would never touch one again… “Please, marry me!” The mysterious honey-blonde man had returned once again the next morning, hiking all the way up the mountain and into her mansion, proposing to her with a large ring and a flushed look. He wore much warmer clothes and was filled with nerves as he tried to look her in the eye, asking for her hand. She had no idea how to deal with him, other than taking the ring and completely breaking it with one touch. “Leave.” She demanded for the umpteenth time as she could see his eyes sadden and a figurative tail stop wagging. This man really was like a puppy. “Did I propose wrong? Is it different in vampire custom? Do you want the wedding gifts now?” He asked while still kneeling, begging her to give him a chance as she shut her room door hard enough for the mansion to shake, and boarded it up with wood.
