A Secret

I smiled "It is not as if I have told you where she is and moreover, I told you about her because I want to tell you that my love for Ethan was real and will always be and no one can take his place so you should give up on me and live your own life."

He smiled "How old is your daughter?"

I smiled "Ethan died 50 years ago and I was pregnant with her for 1 month then, he himself didn't know about her."

"When he told me to take care of you, I could not find you for 5 years was this the reason."

I nodded my head "I was protecting my daughter, the only memory I have of him."

He didn't mind how passionately I talked about Ethan instead he hugged me and said "Tell me how long can witches live."

I smiled at the thought that he was not ready to give up but I didn't take the joy from him as I said "About a thousand years, I suppose it is as long as the vampires."

He shook his head "No we live for 800 years."

I nodded my head and then the smile on my face dropped "But the people like Cameron can live until they are killed."

He patted my back "Don't worry I will help you kill him, I mean I will help you get stronger."

I shook my head "No don't, I want to do this for Ethan and I want to provide a safe place for my daughter so please don't try to be the part of it, I will take care of everything."

He got agitated "Like you have been all these years. I can agree that you are a great mother as even I didn't come to know about your daughter but as an adult being responsible for herself, you suck at it and unless I make sure that you won't be messing up your life or dying a horrible death, like it or not, I will stay with you."

I could not say anything and sat there quietly thinking that I must trust him a lot to have told him the secret that no one knew in past 20 years. As witches lived quite long, my daughter was still 8 years compared to a human child but her intelligence was no comparison, I still had to protect her so she could not be exposed.

I didn't care what James said as I had my own plans, I had never contacted my daughter through phone and whenever I visited her I would hide my scent and everything so well that no one could find me but now with James hot on my tail, I was unable to meet her.

Even though I trusted him, I could not risk the safety of my daughter because no person other than Ethan was worthy enough of my trust for the safety of my daughter.

I let out a sigh and continued eating my food and after I was done James took the empty dishes away. While he was on the other side of the room I decided to apply the ointment on my body by myself as I wanted to prove it to him that I could take care of myself. I took the tube from the side table and started by applying it on my arm as I was a still thinking about other things my hands unconsciously applied a little extra pressure. As an instinct, I screamed and James was by my side the next moment, he snatched the tube from my hand and brought the first aid box using the cotton and the other medicine to stop the bleeding. He then said angrily "Are you crazy, what the hell do you think you are doing?"

As he tended to my injuries I bore with the pain and let out a few moans without answering his question. While he was doing that I saw the color of his face change and then my gaze lowered and I was shocked to see that he was turned on.

I bit my lower lip in order to prevent any more sounds to escape my mouth because I didn't have any idea what would be the result of teasing this beast. I was still in pain when his gaze landed on my face and I don't know what happened, next I knew was his lips were touching mine.

The lower lip that I had trapped inbetween my teeth was now in his mouth and he was biting at it so gently that I didn't want this feeling to stop.

He moved closer to me, his hands on the bed on either side of my waist and his legs on either side of mine. The only thing touching me was his lips, it was so intoxicating that I could not even make any sense out of it. Wasn't he just applying the medicine on my body then how did it change to this intimate kiss.

Nonetheless I didn't feel like stopping it and rather wanted to enjoy it for a little while longer. His huge lips captured mine as if he was a hungry beast trying to devour his prey. A soft moan left my lips but it ended in his mouth, he sucked and bit my lips until they were swollen. He then pried them open as his tongue moved inside my mouth touching each and every sensitive spot. I reflectively closed my eyes and leaned my head backwards as if I was inviting him in for the kiss.

He didn't hold back and moved his tongue around until I was panting for air and that was when he finally let go. As I stabilized my breathing and was about to speak, he kissed me again not giving me a chance to speak, he continued until he was satisfied and finally let go. I looked at his struggling expression as he tried to control his self and then he continued applying the medicine on my body.

My face was flushed red with embarrassment and after he was done he covered me up before leaving the room when I heard a loud thud outside.
