Chapter 253
Vincent's POV
I emerge from the bathroom a few minutes later, freshly showered and I change into my usual casual pants and a white dress shirt, the top
buttons left undone. I leave my hair down to air dry.
"Davyna, you ready?" I ask as she comes in from the hallway, in a dusty plum coloured dress that ends just before her knees, and black ankle boots. Beautiful.
"I'm ready if you are.!" She replies and reaches out her hand. I take it and we head out together. It day in Avern was spectacular. We did some shopping. where I bought Davyna some jewelery, which she tried to flat out ref finally caved into. We also bought some clothes, a small gift for Caleb- which she wanted my approval for, and I gladly gave - and sweet snacks for Davyna to enjoy later. We went back to the house and dropped all of our newly purchased items off and then we decided to walk over to the restaurant for dinner. We had some champagne, and I ordered my favourite steak dish, and Davyna decided on some baked chicken dish, which I tried a mouthful and it was delicious. It refuse hut
I'm pulled out of recollection of our day as Davyna kicks a small rock to the side of the road as we walk home from the restaurant.
"You alright, love?" I ask and she turns her head to look at me. "Of course, just in my own head. She smiles, but I can tell she's uneasy."
"You alright, love?" 1 ask and she turns her head to look at me. "Of course, just in my own head." She smiles, but I can tell she's uneasy."
"You can tell me what's bugging you, I promise I won't react badly." I try to reassure her that she can talk to me, hoping that my anger last night hasn't closed her off from me. She stops walking and fully turns to face.
"Why wouldn't you feed off me, Vincent? Honestly, as your Imate, I felt sort of offended that you were so adamant on not doing it." I sigh lightly.
"It's complicated, but I promised I would tell you." I catch up to her, take her hand in mine and we continue walking
"Have a issue when feeding from the vein" I state. I feel her eyes on me, but I don't meet her gaze.
"What kind of issue, is it bad?" She questions.
"It can become a larger problem, yes. I tend to get too engrossed in feeding when it's from the vein. It's hard for me to stop, even when I'm satiated." She stops me, and
pulls me to the side of the road and we sit on the curb. "You lose
control?" I nod.
"I become a totally different person, Davyna. You can even ask Caleb a even Marcella. They've been the ones to pull me back to reality when I've gone over the edge. I'm thankful to them, because I've been able to live normally and maintain a healthy relationship with blood for years because of them." I continue,
"Even Marcella drinks the bottled blood to ease the temptation for me. I've killed people.. and I'm not proud of it. This way of life for me right now is the only way I ease the guilt I feel. I work on this part of myself everyday"
I feel Davyna's hand on my shoulder, and then she reaches over and
cups my face and turns my face to look at her. Her eyes are brimming with tears as she looks at me.
"I am so sorry that you struggle with this. It seems to take a lot out of you. l am also sorry that I pushed the subject, and it's okay if you never do. I understand, and I'll support you in anyway l can to keep you in a place you want to be."
Stability. I want stability. I don't want to have to keep fighting these instincts of mine out of fear.
"Let's get back, it's getting late." I say as I stand and pull Davyna up beside me.
"I feel better having told you. Thank you, love for listening
and not passing judgement."
"Never even crossed my mind, Vincent. I know you and Caleb want me
of you to be happy, but I can't possibly be happy for you"
"You've made me happier then I have ever been in my life, Davyna.
Don't doubt how I feel about you. I may struggle with this, but since you've come into my life, things are a little easier"
"I love you." She says as I kiss her hand and we continue to walk home.
Davyna's POV
I sigh loudly as I jump into the bed and kick off my shoes, laying into the comfortable sheets. Vincent went to go double check on the staff for the night as he did last night.
I had no idea he struggled so much, but it's understandable. I do
remember Marcella warning me that there were things I didn't know. I couldn't even have imagined that Vincent has had troubles with
controlling himself when it comes to blood. It must be frustrating,
especially since it's his nature. sit up and head into the bathroom and brush my teeth. Looking down at the counter, I'm reminded of earlier, when Vincent called me out on my boldness to pretty much rub my body down his. I don't know what me over me, but l just wanted to feel him against me. I glance at the doorway leading into the bedroom, thinking of the "surprises" in my
suitcase. I stare at myself I need him. No more of this absurd tiptoeing around the clear want and need I have for my mate. Like Marcella said, I can't be a virgin forever. I wipe my mouth and inhale and exhale slowly, calming my nerves. Am I really going to do this? I bite down on my toothbrush as I think of even the possibility. Yup, I am.
I hear the doors open and Vincent call my name. I put my tooth brush away and peek out the bathroom doorway at him.
"In here, what's up?"
I say, clearly trying to act normal, as if I wasn't just lusting after my mate in my thoughts.
"Everything is good for this evening, is there anything you wanted to do before bed?" Oh if he only knew. Time to plan this out.
"Can you find something to do for like, oh I don't know an hour?" I see him look at me, clearly puzzled of my request. Before he can reply or question me, l add, "Please? I just wanted to take a long bath and relax my feet from our walking today. Then we can maybe watch a movie or something?"
"Sure, love. Text me when you're done." He smiles and exits out of the bedroom, closing the doors behind him Wow. For an excuse pretty much pulled out of my ass, that was sure convincing. Although, I didn't fully lie, I am going to take a bath. I turn
back into the bathroom and start to run the water in the large white claw tub, making it as hot as I can handle it, hoping it will relax the butterflies that have made themselves present in my stomach.
I head back into the bedroom while the tub is filing, and pull out my suitcase and unwrap the lingerie. I decide to go with the black lacy tank and booty short combo with the long silk cover. I bring them into the bathroom with me for when I get out of the tub.
I test the water, finding it the perfect temperature, and turn the taps of.
I grab my toiletry bag and place it on the small shelf near the tub, and pull out my body wash, loofa, shampoo and conditioner. I grab my face wash from the sink and set it near my other stuff. I shed my dress, underwear and bra and climb into the tub. The water is amazing and I sink down to wet my hair. I shampoo and condition it, leaving it in while I wash my face, removing any trace of makeup l had on today. I scrub my body and make sure l am thoroughly clean, not worrying to shave my,also legs since l die
since I did before we left to come to Avern. I also don't worry about down there, since l keep myself well groomed and waxed usually, for personal hygiene reasons I relax in the tub for a short while before rinsing out my conditioner and hopping out. I dry myself off and grab my favourite body butter, and begin to massage it into my skin. When I'm satisfied that l am moisturized enough, I apply my face moisturizer and start on my hair I finger comb my wet curls to detangled them, and use a small amount of
mousse so they hold their shape and don't get too frizzy on me. I sigh as Satisfied ,...
Myself embarrassed slightly that part of my ass isn't covered I pull the tank top over my head, rolling my eyes that my nipples are barely I look at the lingerie sitting on the counter. Pushing past the nerves. covered too, and then look myself over in the mirror. I've never been self conscious of my body, until now. I nervously tug at the top and underwear.
"This is insane." I say nervously to myself as I grab the silk cover and put it on, liking the feel of the silk on my arms, and thankful that it covers some of the skimpiness of the lingerie. I finally leave the bathroom, and the cover drags along the floor as I do a few paces near the end of the bed to continue to calm my nerves. I check my phone, my hour is almost up. Now or never. I pull the covers back off the bed, sit in the middle of it, letting the silk cover lay around me, and I pull my hair forward to cover my breasts, the curls splaying out nicely. I open my phone conversation.

I pull the covers back off the bed, sit in the middle of it, letting the silk cover lay around me, and I pull my hair forward to cover my breasts, the Curls splaying out nicely. I open my phone conversation with Vincent, seeing he sent me a message while I was in the bath.
V- Thank you again for today, love. It was a great day. See you soon for our movie. I smile
"Okay, here goes." I say to myself as I type.
M-I'm finished with my bath. Can you come upstairs?
I look up at the ceiling and exhale loudly, then roll my neck and
shoulders to try and release some of the tension. Pine I look at his reply.
V- Be there in a minute, love you to
It's the longest minute of my life as I wait, but then I hear footsteps coming towards the door. My heart starts to beat wildly and I close my eyes, thinking of what his reaction might be. I open my eyes as I hear the doors open and Vincent walks into the room. He doesn't look up as he turns and closes the doors behind him. He turns in the direction of the bed and he finally looks at me, his eyes widening as he takes in the sight of me, realizing my intention.
"Surprise." I say quietly as I see his eyes go from his calm hazel to blazing red in a matter of seconds.
