“Mr Carr!” Her melodic voice echoes through my mind once more.
“Wez, you’ve got a visitor. Apparently it’s urgent.” Kal calls through the door. My eyes fly open, every nerve ending in my body on high alert.Please don’t let me have called her name loudly mid orgasm.
Using my Vampire speed, I shoot out of the bathroom and into the hall where our front door is located. She’s right there, standing in my doorway like my wildest wet dream come true. Well, if my wet dreams included her looking so frightened. “What’s wrong?” I ask, moving closer to her. I reach my hand out then drop it to my side.What the fuck was I thinking, I can’t comfort her, she’s a student. Off limits!
“I hope you don’t mind, you said in class that if any of us had an issue we could come to you.” She mumbles barely loud enough for me to hear even with my enhanced hearing.
“Umm Wez, you might want to put some clothes on. I can take her through to the lounge to wait if you like.” Kal smiles at her as though he’s excited for the opportunity to get her alone but then his words sink into my addled brain. I glance down, blushing as I realise I’m standing here in nothing more than a towel and it’s fairly obvious that my cock has a mind of its own around her. Without a word, I speed off to my room, throwing on the first thing I find, a pair of plain grey training pants and an old Metallica T-shirt with a tear across the right shoulder.
I return to find her seated beside Kal on the couch and for the first time in my entire life, I’m jealous of my own brother. He’s not even touching her or flirting but all I see is green. With a sigh, I pull the nearest chair over to her side of the couch and sit facing her. “Now that I’m dressed somewhat more appropriately, how about you tell us what’s wrong.”
“Well to be honest at first I thought it was dickhead here.” She holds her delicate hand up to halt Kal’s protests, “I thought perhaps it was him trying to stop me from attending any more races, but I’m now convinced it’s something far more insidious.” She holds out several pieces of paper and a few printed photographs. All of which are candid shots of her taken from a distance except the last one, which is a picture of her taken while she was sleeping.
The first piece reads;You look good in your race gear, but that’s not a place for you.
The second almost seems to be a threat;Don’t let anyone touch what is mine again!
But the last one is downright creepy;Watching you from afar isn’t enough anymore. I need to be there with you, lying beside you as you sleep, walking beside you as you head to your classes, holding you and possessing your lips with every ounce of my soul.
I want to be the only thing you think about while touching yourself.
I am yours and you are mine. Anyone coming between us will pay the ultimate price.
Don’t let anyone touch you again my love.
I’ll be watching.
“Kal.” I pass the notes off to him, hanging onto the photographs, my entire body humming with the need to hunt this asshole down and exact some old-fashioned justice using nothing more than my fists.
“I’m calling Princess and Brax, they need to know about this.” Kal growls finally finding his voice.
“No. Please, I don’t want to bother anyone.” Alissa pleads. As her Vampire Liaison, I can’t deny her request to keep this between us but as a man with a major crush, I want to shout at her to not be so stupid. The author of these letters is clearly unhinged. I can’t let this continue without taking steps to keep her safe.
“Kal and I’ll look into this.” She opens her perfect lips, but I cut her off by adding, “Discreetly, of course.” While Kal pats her shoulder in a reassuring way, I ask if she minds if I keep the notes and pictures to aid in my investigation. With a nod from her, I place them down beside me and then get to my feet.
“I’ll walk you back to your place.” Kal offers before I get the chance. Again she starts to protest but Kal’s on it, “For our peace of mind, please allow at least one of us to walk you home.”
“Alright, but only because Princess was talking about needing to talk to you, Kal.”
My eyes stay glued to her ass as she makes her way back to the front door. Kal nudges me in the side, giving me a what the fuck look but I ignore him as I shove past him, beating him to the door. “Stay safe Miss Collis.”
I watched Kalvan walk her home, the entire time all I could think about was the fact that he seemed to be more interested in her than his words showed. I’m going to have to keep an eye on him. He’s not a real threat because I know he’s never been interested in more than a one night stand with any girl before, but the idea of him putting the moves onmy girlis enough to have me adding him to my list of potential threats. As I’m waiting hidden amongst the shadows beside her little house, I pull my phone out and tap away at the assignment that’s due in Music class, it’s an easy enough assignment that doesn’t really require much effort and if anyone were to pass by, I’d have an excuse for hovering around the side of the house. Not that I’d really need one, I’d be welcomed inside in an instant if I showed my face, but I’m not ready to show myself.
Once the lights go out in every window, I wait a further twenty minutes, before climbing through the window and easing myself into her room. After carefully closing the curtains behind me, I step closer to the bed where my sleeping beauty is lying with her lips slightly parted and her eyes shuttered. The thin stream of moonlight falling upon her cheek makes me want to lay a soft kiss upon her but I hold myself back for fear she may wake.
My gaze follows the contours of her face, from her high cheekbones down to her full ruby lips and further to where the sheet is hiding the mounds of her breasts from my view. With slow careful movements, I pull the sheet down, exposing her sinfully perfect body to my sight. My breath hitches in my throat as I realise she’s not only completely naked, but also completely shaved bare. Her glistening lower lips are tempting me to take this further than just looking my fill, but I refrain, determined to have her willingly rather than force myself upon her.
She will be mine, so for now, I simply look and then when I’ve reached my limits, I place her gift upon her pillow and leave the same way I entered; through her window and scale down the wall, glancing back once to make sure her lights are still out.
Once more I awake to an envelope upon my pillow, but this time there’s also a box wrapped in shiny gold paper with a deep red bow on top. My hands shake as I lift the box, sniffing it to try to determine if what is inside is something I’d regret seeing, but the only scent coming from the box is the smell of cardboard and paper. I gently place the box back upon my pillow before extracting the letter from the envelope.
Your beauty shines like the stars and as such you should be adorned in their glow.
Again the letter isn’t signed, but the fact that it doesn’t contain anything threatening has me tearing the paper off the box and peering inside. My mouth drops open at the sight before me. Nestled among the softest tissue paper is a necklace with what can only be described as a shining star made of pure crystal. I’ve never seen anything as exquisite as the jewel before me.
“If only you’d come from someone who wasn’t a creepy stalker.” I mutter before closing the lid once more. I’m not sure why but instead of tucking it into my bag to show Mr Carr and Kal, I slip the box beneath my pillow along with the letter. There’s something about this gift that feels like it shouldn’t be shared or even lumped in with the creepiness of the other ones.
After a quick shower and getting dressed, I head downstairs with my bag and books. Princess and Brax are sitting at the table as I walk in, both turning their heads to look at me as I enter the kitchen. “Sleep okay?”
