Chapter 227
Davyna's POV
"You're important to us, Davyna..." I hear both Vincent and Caleb says as they approach me.. in the mating run she is forced to
"Davwna. wake up." I shoot awake and fall off the couch with a loud THUMP. My book goes skittering across the floor and stops close to my front door.I panic. I didn't mark my page! Sage starts laughing at me so hard that she falls into the blankets on the floor. She composes herself after a minute, and then proceeds to talk.
"Marcella texted me, her and the guys are on their way. They had to get some blood for her and Vincent and then went and got their snacks.
They should be here in a few minutes." tuna undergoing.
"Did you really have to yell at me to wake me up? My ass hurts." I say as I rub near my tailbone, trying to stifle the throb where my ass came into not so light contact with the floor.
My hands pull at the cuffs straining my arms above my head as he
"I tried to wake you gently but you were out cold. All while having a major snore session." Damn I was out then if I was snoring. Oh well, at least no one except Sage was here to see that.
Black had given up on looking for I rub my face and get up off the floor and go retrieve my book and frantically flip through the pages to find where l was. Just then there is a knock on my door, and Sage looks at me with anticipation, then shrugs and sighs. She walks over and answers it. Marcella, Caleb and Vincent all
come in and Sage talks to them first, as I'm clearly distracted.
"Come on in guys. Choose a spot, put your snacks wherever. Marcella, Vincent, does your blood need to go in the fridge?" Sage says, clearly taking on the role of host.
"Yes, it does. Thanks!" Marcella brings over some glass bottles filled with blood and enters the kitchen as Sage follows her. ""ll open the wine."
I'm still frantically trying to find my place in my book while all this is happening. I then find it, but then look around. "Where is my..." I look up to Vincent placing my bookmark on top of my book in my hands.
"Bookmark... Thank you." I feel nervous butterflies tun in my stomach. He smiles at me.
"I didn't know you read." Sage cuts in as she comes back
out from the kitchen.
"Oh yeah Vincent. she's a real bookworm when she's got the time. Can hardly get her attention when she's into a book."
"A girl after my own heart." He replies and I feel myself blushing a little. I quickly place my bookmark in the correct spot, and quickly say.
"To be back, putting this back.. uh where it.. uh in my room.." I wave the book and walk to my room. It's starting already. Can my brain just work for once? Embarrassing. I close the door for a moment and take a few moment I return, Sage and Marcella are in the kitchen getting more snacks ready, and Vincent and Caleb are looking through the movies they brought near my TV. I join the girls in the kitchen area.
"What can I help with?"
"We haven't poured drinks yet, maybe ask the guys what they want?"
Marcella suggests.
"Okay."
Yeah okay, Marcella. I'm onto you. I walk out of the kitchen towards the guys who are still deciding on movies, and clear my throat a little. They stop talking to each other and stand and face me. Oh boy. Hazel and blue eyes stare at me, and for a second l almost can't speak. Thankfully, I manage to find my voice.
"Uh, what do you guys want to drink?" I ask. Vincent answers first,
"I would love a glass of that wine Sage opened with some of my blood I brought in it if that's okay?"
"It tastes fine in wine?" He nods,
"It blends better, it's mainly off with hard liquor and mixes. l don't think I mentioned that before."
"Oh okay. Got it. What about you Caleb?" He looks at me and replies,
"I brought some whiskey. I'll have a glass of that, on the rocks please." He smiles and I feel warm inside.
"Coming right up." I head back to the kitchen area, and the girls are finished up with the snacks, and are pouring their own drinks. I pull out glasses for Vincent's and Caleb's drinks and one also for my own.
I see the whiskey on the counter and grab that and open it. I add ice and pour the whiskey over it. I smile at Sage and Marcella as they head out of the kitchen with their drinks.
"Okay that's one." Then I go to the fridge and grab my vodka, cranberry juice and a bottle of blood.
"Interesting." I say to myself as I inspect the blood in the glass bottle. Which order do I pour it? I have no idea how to make it. I call out, feeling incredibly stupid that I don't know. "Vincent?" I hear a faint yes from the other room.
"How do I mix your drink? Is there a specific way? A few seconds pass and he comes up beside me, almost startling me.
mine first. then blood, then you stir." I pour the wine into his glass, and then he opens the bottled blood and reaches around my shoulder to pour it in. He then grabs stirring stick
that was on my counter and I shiver a little as he's so close to me. He grabs my hand and places the stirring stick in it, then proceeds to "help" me stir the blood into his wine. His touch is cool, which is to be expected from a vampire, but there's an odd tingling warmth I feel that washes over me.
"Just like that. Thank you.!" He says quietly in my ear. I turn and face him and his hazel eyes begin to burn into mine like they did at the gym earlier. I go to look away, but then I remember what Marcella said earlier. I decide to take a chance.
I've never been this close to him before. It makes me nervous, but damn it's hard to look away.
It seems as though time stops for a short moment as I take in his
features. His golden blond hair is slightly in his face as his striking deep set almond eyes lock with mine. His skin is like porcelain, it makes me want to touch it to see if it will break. I know it won't though. He looks over my face with a soft expression, smiles slightly and then brings his lips to my forehead. I don't move as that sensation washes over me
again, but this time it's more intense. I find it hard to keep steady on my feet. Vincent lightly grabs hold of my ponytail and runs his hand down it, he looks at me again.
"Your hair is beautiful, do you know that? It's beautiful, just like you."
He just called me beautiful. I feel my nerves jump as if l've been
electro beautiful, just like you. He just called me beautiful. I feel my nerves jump as if I've been electrocuted, and I stutter.
"Y.you like it?" He nods, his fingers still lingering in my hair.
"It suits you, love. So very much." I swallow loudly and decide to jump in the deep end with my question. No going back.
"What am I to you, Vincent?" He pauses before he answers,
"You, Davyna are something I never thought I'd find in my lifetime. But I am ever so glad we crossed paths." I go to ask more questions, but he shushes me, his chilled finger slightly
placed on my lips. My heart beats faster.
"We all can talk later, we should get back in with the others. Have you made your drink yet?" I shake my head, as I'm currently speechless. Vincent moves beside me and grabs my glass.
"Vodka Cranberry right?" I can't help but smile.
"You remembered." He smiles as he mixes up my
drink.
"Of course." He hands it to me, grabs Caleb's drink off the counter
and I follow him back into the living room. Sage and Marcella and on the floor, and Caleb is on the right side of the couch. Vincent hands Caleb his whiskey and then sits on the left side.
I have to sit in between them? This isn't fair!
I sigh quietly and take my place in the middle of the couch and take a little sip of my drink to coat my dry throat.
Did that just happen? My brain starts to hurt as I try to wrap my head around what just occured between Vincent and I. He called me
beautiful! And his light kiss on my forehead. I alImost lost it when I felt how close he was to me.
'The guys picked some crime murder movie." Marcella says, pulling me out of my musings.
"That's fine with me." I reply.
"Okay, here goes!" Sage gets up, turns my main lights off and hits play as she gets comfortable on the floor. We all chat every now and again, and then when the movie is about half over, I start to yawn.
Already? I had a nap earlier. I guess I'm still tired. I try to shift around to get more comfortable when Vincent takes a pillow and places it near his lap.
"Here, lay down, love." I turn to look at Caleb and he smiles.
"You tired? Lay down. You can put your legs on my lap. I don't mind." I look back and forth between them.
"That's okay?" They both nod at me in approval.
God this is still so awkward. How are they okay with this? I yawn again. It's either this or I fall asleep in a super uncomfortable position later. Giving in, I take my hair out of the ponytail, because that will be a disaster if I sleep with it in. I place my head down on the pillow Vincent. and Caleb pulls up my legs to rest on his lap. He rests his hand on my calf and I feel that same sensation that touched me earlier. I feel myself relax even more. I'm able to keep my eyes open for a bit longer, and then I feel Vincent playing with my hair, warm tingles shooting down my spine. Then all goes black.
Vincent's POV
I look down at Davyna sleeping on my lap, her long black curls splaying out behind her. I move them away from her face, so I can stare at her beauty a little longer. Our moment earlier was blissful. I can't believe she let me get that close to her. leven called her love. It just slipped out.
She didn't even care.
Caleb mind links me.
C- She's so peaceful when she's asleep.
V- That she is. She let me get close enough to kiss her forehead earlier when we were in the kitchen. -
C- So that's what took you guys so long.
V- It wasn't THAT long Caleb. A brief, but lovely moments
C- I'm just kidding. I heard her heartbeat from out here. -
V- She didn't stop me. Maybe she's feeling more of the bond?
C- Could be. Happy for you. Can't wait for my "moment."
V- Youl get your chance.
He breaks the link as the movie finishes. Marcella and Sage sit up and turn around and Marcella's eyes light up when she sees Davyna
snuggled up and asleep between both Caleb and I. Sage smiles widely
when she sees the same thing, but then looks at both Caleb and l with a stern expression,
"You guys won't hurt her right?"
"Never." Both Caleb and I respond at the same time.
"I'm going to hold you both to that. She's been through enough. She
doesn't need anything else to make it worse."
I look at her confused.
"What do you mean?"
"It's not my place to say. It's her story. She needs to tell it. But just know, she's still working through it. Be patient with her."
"You have our word, Sage. We take this pretty seriously" Caleb states, his tone firm.
"That's intense, do you treat all relationships like that?"
"No they don't." Marcella chimes in."l don't know what you know about our species, but each vampire and werewolf have what we call a mate. A single person that is your lifelong love. It's hard to explain, but Davyna is..." She looks to Caleb and I for approval
"You can tell her Marcella." I say. She nods in acknowledgement and
continues.
"Davyna is the mate of both Caleb and Vincent. It's really rare, and we're not entirely sure how, considering she's human. We're looking into it though."
Sage just stares at both Caleb and I with her jaw open. She composes herself, clears her throat and then throws us a massive curve ball with her next sentence.
"Would knowing that Davyna's adopted help?"
