A Game Of Chess With A Vampire
[SLOW BURN ROMANCE. RATED 18: NO RAPE] What if the sort of love you'd wanted and desired, only but a man incapable of love could give it to you–a man who has not the slightest of an idea what the word "Love" meant? ..... Vampires coexisted with humans for centuries without either side hunting or killing the other due to a peace treaty. They didn’t feed on human blood for so long either, but that changes when the first vampire auction is held. Six human slaves were sold, and among them included Avelina, a twenty-six-year-old woman. Avelina is sold to an infamous Vampire prince, Draven Delgaard, rumored to have committed heinous acts even amongst his kind. She fears for her life upon their first encounter, but to her utmost bewilderment, Draven Delgaard makes a deal with her. He sought the inheritance of the royal family, but to be qualified, he needed a wife. Since his kinds weren’t available due to his reputation, Avelina was one of the few options left. In exchange for her freedom, she will assist him in obtaining the inheritance. But this royal inheritance can only be acquired through the style of a chess game with other royal opponents. A game of strategy and survival. Should she succeed, her freedom shall be regained and it would be a win-win for both her and Draven. However, she soon realizes that success might come at a very heavy cost. Will Avelina and Draven be able to win the game of chess? Will they secure her freedom and inheritance, or will they fall victim to the dangerous machinations of the royal family?
Let Me Fix It, Sunshine
"Like what?" Draven asked. He began to rub and pat her back, hoping to help her calm down.
Avelina shook her head. "I'm not sure. Food, maybe. It was something like that."
Draven sighed, grabbing a hold of her and pulling her into a hug. It must have been the smell of the meals coming from the several kitchens in the mansion.
"Draven." Avelina lifted her head to look at him with a flushed face.
Draven smiled at her. "What is it?"
"I really like your scent. It's very comforting. I feel like I want to drown in it." Avelina pulled him closer, stepping on her tip-toe to nuzzle his neck.
Draven blinked rapidly, a bit concerned. She'd suddenly become very clingy and needy—not that he was complaining, but it wasn't always like that. He felt like something had suddenly changed in the past few weeks, almost like something they were unaware of was going on with Avelina.
