Chapter 252
Davyna's POV
I stir awake slightly, rubbing my eyes. I roll over and notice l'm alone in the bed. Did Vincent not sleep here last night? I sit up, my stomach churning with nerves as I remember our heated discussion last night. I overstepped a line. I shouldn't have pushed him to answer if he wasn't ready to talk about it. Whatever it was, it upset him greatly, and I really have to learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
Black had given up on looking for I sigh, and swing my legs over the edge of the bed. I hop off and adjust my pyjamas and head into the bathroom to wash my face and tame my wild curls. Once finished, I walk back out and open the double doors to go and find Vincent.
I'm greeted by a wonderful smell coming from downstairs. I make my
way down and peek my head into the large kitchen near the back of the house. I smile as I see Vincent, bare chested with just pyjama pants on, whistling some tune while he makes food.
"Vincent?" I say quietly, trying to judge his mood and see if he's still angry at me. He turns and sees me, eyes scanning over me as I stand there in my burgundy shorts and tank top - actually one of the new sets Marcella bought for me
"Good morning, love." He walks over to me and pulls me in for a kiss.
"I'm so." He cuts me off by placing his finger on my lips.
"I know. I am too. Fresh start today?" I nod.
"Come sit, I made you some breakfast."
"You didn't have to do that." say as I sit at the kitchen island right in front of the main counters and stove, as Vincent returns to cooking.
Minutes later, a plate of bacon, eggs, fruit and toast is placed in front of me.
"This looks amazing Vincent. Thank you" He hands me a fork.
"Dig in. We've got plans today."
I happily take the fork from him and begin to eat. In between mouthfuls, l ask him,
"What are we doing today?" I see him head into the fridge and
grab a bottle of blood for himself, a glass of water for me and then he comes and sits beside me, watching me eat.
"You and I are going into town today. Shopping, taking in the scenery, walking in the park, you name it." He pauses, "Then we have dinner reservations at my favourite restaurant here."
"Dinner? You're eating?" I ask curiously, knowing that in this entire time I've known him. I've never seen him eat food, At all. "Yes. I can eat food. taste it and I do enjoy it. But it doesn't satiate me so I usually opt out of it. But this is a special occasion, so we're going to go for dinner, and after....we can talk about what caused our little argument last night." I immediately reply,
"If you don't want to tell me Vincent, that's okay. I totally understand. It took me a long time to be comfortable enough to
open up to you and Caleb."
"Yes, but you have opened up to us, and we hardly have to you. It's not fair to you to keep you in the dark about my previous struggles. I want to be completely honest with you and for you to know everything about me." I look at him and our eyes lock momentarily.
"I love you, Vincent." He leans in and places his forehead against mine.
"I love you too. I am so sorry I upset you so much last night. It's not what I wanted at all."
"I know." He kisses my forehead and nods towards my plate.
"Finish up, we can get ready and head out when you're done."
"You got it, boss." I tease and he smiles.
Vincent's POV
Davyna and l are currently getting ready to head out to explore Avern. I peek into the bathroom, seeing her in front of one of the sinks, putting on her makeup. I lean against the doorframe, admiring her. Her luscious black ringlet curis cascade down her back, having been styled and tamed to perfection. She's still in her pyjamas, showing off her toned body and supple skin. Her workouts with Caleb have definitely paid off.
She looks stronger, more athletic. She goes up on her tiptoes to check out her makeup in the mirror, and I can't stop myself. I walk up behind her and she inhales sharply as I run my hands up the sides of her body and then wrap my arms around her stomach, leaning into her neck.
She turns around in my arms and snakes her arms around my neck, her
grey eyes smoldering as she looks at me. I lean in and kiss her, lifting her up onto the counter, some of her makeup clattering to the floor, She wraps her legs around my waist, running her hands through my hair and tugging on it lightly. We continues to kiss each other for a short while, and she giggles lightly as we break away. It's such a sweet sound that comes from her. Pure bliss,
"If we keep doing this, we won't get around to the plans you made" She says as I hear her heart pick up. I smirk at her."I am perfectly content just staying like this, love. Screw the plans." I peck her lips lightly and she deliberately slides down off the counter, our bodies touching the entire way down, no space between us at all. I hiss lightly and grab her hand as she goes to walk away, twirling her back into me. Her hands rest on my bare chest, and our eyes connect, mine clearly blazing now that. I'm highly aroused from her little stunt
"Getting a little bold, are we?" I call her out and she blushes like mad.
"Go on and finish getting ready, you little tease. As much as I'd like to stay here, I really do want to take you to that dinner." She nods, kisses my cheek quickly and turns away and heads back into the bedroom. I hop in the shower quickly, having to rid myself of a little issue before we head out.
Damn, Davyna.
