for an entire week, the Lord didn"t leave the mansion nor he did let Althea take one step out of his room the first day after she woke up she thanked him and told him that she wants to go back to her room but the Lord refused" Lord Kaname I need to take a bath and it"s not right for me to be here " she decided to say the truth may be he will let her go that what she thought but the Lord wasn"t planning to let her leave him this soon
" you can use mine " the side bringing his face close to hers " and who said that you can"t I want you to stay here " she felt his breath on her face for a few seconds she forgot how to breathe when she thought that he will move back he leaned forward placing a kiss on her temple and got off the bed
" I will leave you now don"t get out of the room Althea," the Lord said before leaving the room
Althea didn"t know how long she stayed like this looking at the door she touched her temple where the Lord kissed her she felt like her brain stopped working what is wrong with him first he didn"t let her go back to her and then he kissed her and told her not to leave the room does he thinks that she is his slave
she got off the bed and went to the bathroom it wasn"t her first here but it"s her first time to use it she filled the tup with warm water when the tup was filled she took off her nightgown and stepped inside it the warm water relaxed her body she looked around her the Lord bath was very luxurious who would have thought that someday she would be sitting in the vampires king bathtub she couldn"t stop herself laughing at her situation
she thought about the Lord and how he took care of her brain failed to believe how someone like him could have feeling for her he was any man he was the vampires king what did he found in her it was too much for her but no matter how a good person he is she would never think of being with him she is human and he is a vampire the past mistakes cannot be repeated

after spending a whole week resting in the bed Althea health was much better now the Lord did good care of her in that week Althea had the chance to get to know the Lord personality better he truly did deserve to be the vampires king the way he carries himself it is very magnetic unlike what she expected or the way she imagined him to a heartless person how doesn"t care about other people feeling but she found out that he extremely humble towards humans he had toll that long decades ago someone who took care of him taught him that he as pureblood vampire a creature that doesn"t die should take care of them because in the end and no matter what they did to harm us they are a very fragile and that did touched Althea so much her respect for the Lord now was more than ever but Althea thought that she must be clarify everything and draw a line to their relationship and she did she told him that she will be grateful for the rest of her for everything he did for her but nothing more than that and the Lord respected her wishes but he also told that he will never give up on winning her heart

tomorrow the Lord will leave the mansion for the Senate he delayed all his work and meetings so he could take care of Althea leaving everything to Tak.u.ma to handle. tonight was very cold night the rain was pouring heavily the Lord wanted to spend the night with his precious girl he will be gone for a long time which mean that he will not be able to to see when he entered his room he was welcomed with a beautiful sight Althea was combing her hair her back was facing him when she heard the door open she turned around
" good evening Althea " the Lord was the first on to speak knowing how angry she was she wanted to leave the room but he as expected refused
" good evening my Lord " she still angry the Lord noticed he made his way towards her and sit on the bed beside her he reached for the comb on her hand
" turn around " she heard the Lord say
" good evening my Lord " she still angry the Lord noticed he made his way towards her and sit on the bed beside her he reached for the comb on her hand
" turn around " she heard the Lord say
" what are you doing my Lord " Althea was shocked when the Lord told to turn he won"t be thinking of combing her hair
" don"t let me repeat my words, Althea, " the Lord said with a warning tone in his voice seeing that she doesn"t have a way out of it she obediently turned around
feeling nervous she clenched her hands together nervously for a few seconds nothing happened until she felt the combe running through her followed by the Lord fingers her hair is very long it reached below her waist now she felt running his fingers through her every time he combed it
" your hair is so soft " she heard the Lord say she felt like her face about to burn when she heard say this
when he was done enjoying combing her he put the combe a way on the table he noticed that she was quiet for a long time now " what"s wrong Althea " the Lord asked while making her turn around to face him but nothing came out of her she is angry the Lord thought he lifted her face to make her look at him he kissed her for head before he spoke " I know you are not comfortable being here or me touching you I promise that it will be the last night but I have one request I want you to sleep in my arms tonight "
Althea didn"t have the chance to react as the Lord pushed her down on the bed with him and covering them both in one blanket he hugged her tightly in his arms her head was leaning against his chest the Lord could feel stiff body in his arms the Lord kissed the top of her head. and whispered in her ear " relax Althea I won"t do anything we are just going to sleep " the Lord rubbed her back gently until she finally give up and closed her eyes he could hear her steady heartbeats it was like a soothing rhythm that night the Lord didn"t sleep just continued to watch her as slept in his arms.
