Bambi And The Dukee

Chapter 148

With Vivian"s clothes that were lying in the guest room which she had been given since turning from a maid to a lady, Leonard had asked a maid to fetch her clothes to his room while asking Vivian to go ahead and use his bath.
Leonard being the male heir to the Carmichael"s lineage and being the sole son of Mr and Mrs Carmcihael, his room was fancier compared to the rest of the other rooms. And this included his bath which was connected to the room. Vivian who had been naked as she sat up on the bed, she had taken all the covers in her hand to wrap it around her body. Too shy to step in the light in her naked self in front of him, she had taken the opportunity to get in the bath when Leonard went to the door after wearing his pants and a shirt which laid on the chair which he didn"t bother to b.u.t.ton.
She had been here last time to help Leonard bath him but she had kept her eyes to herself without looking anywhere down. Walking further towards the bathing tub which was long and wide, she dragged the black sheets of cover on the floor with her. With a mirror that hung on the wall, taking up the entire s.p.a.ce she saw the girl look back at her who was in the black covers. Taking a few steps she saw the red and blue marks that were etched on her pale skin as if she were bitten by bugs but it wasn"t the bugs but Leo"s doing. Bringing her hand up to trace her skin near her neck, she ran her fingers across it to feel no pain there. It wasn"t just one or two but more than seven of them as she turned around to see her front and back.
The thoughts of Leo sucking and biting flood through her mind. Every touch of his had brought her alive, igniting her within over and over until there was nothing but ashes left after the burning woods. Turning on the tap, she sat the edge of the bathing tub while feeling a slight discomfort between her legs which had a dull pain, leaving memories of what Leonard being there.
Lowering her lashes she stared at the tub that filled itself with water slowly. She ran her hand over the surface of the water, playing with it when Leonard came into the room to which she lifted her face to look at him.
She saw the taunt muscles which covered his chest, the firmness reminding of her running her hands back and forth. He came to turn off the tap when it filled the tub to half the amount of water.
"Are you going to enter the tub with the cover?" Leo teased her with a serious face and she smiled, getting up carefully. Before she could remove it from her body in her pace, he had come forward to help her unwrap herself.
Vivian wasn"t sure if she was to be happy that he didn"t stare at her oddly after what they had done or she had to be anxious that if he found her unappealing as he had seen all of her now. With mixed emotions, she got into the tub where Leonard undressed himself to get into the tub himself to take a seat behind her.
She sat in place when she felt his hand wrap around her waist so that he could pull her back to him such that her back leaned against his front. A blush formed on her cheeks, with no words spoke she felt him ma.s.sage her hand which she had folded on her lap.

Leonard leaned next to her ear, placing a small kiss on her neck he asked, "Why so shy?" his voice was sensual and warm in her ear which made her heart skip a beat. Had he noticed? she wondered to herself. Of course, he would have, the marks were dark on her skin, "I won"t know if you won"t tell me, my beautiful bride."
"It"s nothing," she shook her head to see him tilt his head.
"Sure?" he confirmed.
"Yes," Vivian answered him softly to feel a kiss on her shoulder.
"Do you know how beautiful you look, Vivi? The afterglow of our lovemaking has turned you more beautiful than before," his hand ran through from her neck which traveled to the side of her body curve, "Absolutely breathtaking," he whispered, inhaling the scent of her hair. His hand moved to her thigh to push it away from her other leg and it traced from the inside to only miss touching her core of the s.e.x. This made her feel breathy and she unconsciously opened her legs to make him smile at her eagerness for him, to leave her panting and needy.
As if realizing what she had done, Vivia quickly closed her legs and this time so embarra.s.sed she wanted to drown herself in the bathtub.
"I am sorry," she apologized for her behavior, "Ah!" she cried when he bit her shoulder.
"Don"t apologize for such things. It makes me happy to know that you want me again after what we did even though I can say that you are in pain. If we do it again I might only make you sorer," he hummed but he felt her body shiver at his words and a small grin formed on his lips, "Don"t be so eager, Bambi. I might break you," he whispered.
Vivian didn"t know why but his words did something her. Each whisper and touch of his coaxed fire into her, as breathing and turning her alive. She was embarra.s.sed to find out that with just one night with him in the bed, she had turned to a wanton woman who wanted to be touched by him. Too ashamed to speak and ask her needs to be fulfilled she gulped her thoughts to look at the water and below it where her legs and his were settled down next to each other.
But Leonard had always been intuned to how she felt. Even the slight change in her breathing and movements told him what she was feeling.
This reminded him of the time when he had gone to the village fair with her despite him having a fever. It wasn"t uncommon for pureblooded vampires to catch and fall sick just that it wasn"t often as how the humans fell ill. Little Vivi had been eager to go to the village fair and thought it wasn"t a grand one like the one that took place twice every year, it was a decent one and something the little human had been excited about after hearing from Paul"s sister.
Back then the little human was a part of an amus.e.m.e.nt that had stuck to him and had eventually grown on him to pull out the affections and emotions which she hadn"t felt yet. With not having a pet of his own as he was told that keeping animals fondly which were bound to die would cause nothing but pain, he hadn"t brought a pet home. But how could one not pick and care for a pet when it followed him so fondly all over the mansion during day and night.
She had been his pet since the very beginning, Leonard told to himself. It was just that it took him time to realize that he had grown too attached to her in time which had turned the tables around.
Feeling her breathing turn shallow, Leonard"s hand that was on her stomach, gently moved in circles so that she could calm down from the ache she was feeling between her legs. She had been tight when he had entered her and if he touched her now, she would only continue to be sore without having enough time to gain energy. He kissed her neck, one kiss trailing down another, running his nose up against the side of her neck.
"There"s nothing to be embarra.s.sed about. I have seen and touched every part of you. Don"t shy away from me," he said holding her close to make sure she didn"t sit away from him.
Vivian nodded her head. She had been bold with her words in the bedroom but now that everything had come to sink in her head along with the way her body was reacting, she didn"t dare to turn her head so that she could meet his eyes. She closed her eyes, scolding herself for behaving so wantonly.
"Vivi," she heard him call behind her and she opened her eyes right away at his calls, "I need to know when and what you"re feeling."
Feeling?
"I need to know everything. If you"re feeling any pain in your body or if you"re sad about something," he took the mug that was on the stool next to the tub, taking water from the front he tilted her head backwards and pouring it on her head, "There might be times where we might not share things because of the uncertainty but I would like you to be as transparent as possible with me, Vivi," Leo was content with the way she was but there was also possibility of change as until now she was in a close premise with not much exposure of people. Once she would pa.s.s through the exam and that is if she did, she would meet a lot of people. And as she would meet she would come to hear a lot of things about him,
"Promise me you will tell me everything, no matter how small the matter is. No matter how negligible, I had like you to share everything about yourself," he gently ma.s.saged her head with his fingers as he poured water on to her head.
"I thought it was bothersome," Vivian confessed, her eyes were closed as she felt his fingers on her scalp, ma.s.saging it in a way that made her feel relaxed and sleepy.
She didn"t recollect every memory of theirs when they were young but she had heard from Paul and Martha on how she would report to Leo with every single detail. Be it getting scolded from one of the servants for not the following work or mistakenly eavesdropping by being in the wrong place where the guests were doing something she wasn"t supposed to see which included from drinking blood to doing adult activities.
Once she had seen an older maid break a frame in one of the pa.s.sageway and Vivian being an innocent child had gone and told it like it was nothing but that had resulted in the maid being punished by Sullivan who had heard it from Leonard. Leonard had tattled taled because he had seen the maid being rude to Vivian once.
Though Leonard would play a string of wool with Vivian as if she were a cat who had to catch the thread, he didn"t like anyone else bullying or hurting her. She was his and he did as he pleased but no else could hold the same feelings for her.
His thoughts went back to the time when her eyes had specs of red in them. Could it possible that there was still a chance for her to change back from her human state to the pureblooded state?
With the work that he had been receiving along with what they were going together, Leonard hadn"t found time to look into her family whom he believed resided in Valeria as Martha would often travel back and forth between the west and the east land. He tried recollecting the people he had met in Valeria and in Bonelake and there was none he could remember to point his guess on.
What Leonard didn"t know was that though he wanted to find her parents so that she could reunite with them, out of several people whom he had killed during his job at the council, he had killed Vivian Harlow"s parents.
