My Vampire Assistant

“A boyfriend in a box. Do not keep under direct sunlight.” After the death of her father the antiquarian, Diana Daraeva struggled with the debt he left her together with his antiquities shop. Her dream of becoming a famous antiquarian was ready to be shattered by reality. Only a miracle could save it, but Diana didn’t believe in those. Not until she accidentally released a centuries old vampire from a sealed coffin in the store’s basement. Jean-Jacques, an embodiment of dangerous allure and mysteries, all hiding behind his suave smile, was Diana’s miracle. In return to Diana’s help, he offered Diana to help fulfil her dream—and she agreed. A best helper there could be—someone who was alive (or undead) when the antiquities of today were made. But when old and new enemies appear, crazy exes compete in the madness of their stunts, and hidden truths unveil, will Diana be able to grow into her heritage and find her place between the two worlds? And how long will she be able to escape Jean-Jacques’s temptations? ⠀⠀ ⠀ I stared at him like he just grew another head. “So basically, you chose to pursue me of all people because I'm so impossible for you to seduce, is it? You do realise that you only make your task harder right now?” “But that’s the whole point, ma chèrie! The longer the chase, the sweeter the prize.” Jean-Jacques’s smile turned positively sly, but damn if it didn’t make butterflies fly in my stomach. “What I will keep refusing? Forever?” “Well,” he clicked his tongue, “then this will be a first.” ⠀⠀ ⠀ [GOLD WINNER WPC #179] Slow burn, but fast updates~ Join my discord server for SPECIAL CONTENT - https://discord.gg/74h73Re2Ak

Calendars and fruits

What foreboding words these were. Full of unspoken promises that made butterflies flutter in my stomach. There was a possibility, though, that JJ meant something else than I imagined. Maybe he just meant helping me with the shop.

I highly doubted that. It was just my old insecurities raising their ugly heads.

My arms still lied on JJ's chest, and the awareness of our proximity made me hurriedly drop them to the sides. Suddenly, I felt way too close to the magnetic man. Too close to think straight, at least. I only wanted to give him a small, almost innocent kiss… but of course, gave JJ a hand and he will bite it off.

I couldn't find in myself to regret it, not with the memory of his touch fresh in my mind, but I had to stop there before it escalated further. I had to establish boundaries. What WAS our relationship now? What it was before? I had spent too long dancing in the darkness.

"JJ," I started, gathering my words and my determination together.
