Heidi and the Lord-Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Arrival of the ghost- Part 1

Heidi who had moved her eyes away from the creature called ghoul to Nicholas when he introduced it, saw him looking through the canvas that was bundled in the corner. But as quiet the creature had appeared in front of her, with the same effort it vanished in thin air. She looked around before her eyes fell back on to the lord. Questions ran in her mind.

His dark eyes finally settled on her which skimmed her reaction to the words he had uttered to her few moments ago. He asked, “You seem to be scared. Don’t be.”

“W-what did you mean when you said they were part of you?” Heidi’s eyes had grown wide out of shock, “Is it a…pet?” Nicholas chuckled.

“Well, if that is how you view it then they might be.”

“They?”

“Yes, there is more than one ghoul. A total of two,” Nicholas walked around the room. Putting the brushes back to its place that laid next to the canvas stand, “I found Toby before my mother passed away but the ghouls, they were born on the second day after my mother was killed. It might be because I have the purest blood running through my veins. I did say that few pure blooded vampires are gifted. Like vampires they survive on fear and blood; but blood of the dead. They are helpful when it comes to hunting down the witches or keeping an eye on my command. I am sure you will come to grow fond of them,” Heidi wasn’t sure about that. Even though he had said it was part of him, she found it hard to digest that something like those creatures existed in the world.

“So this is your gift,” Heidi acknowledged to see one side of his lips raise in mirth.

“Part of it actually. For a person who controls the ghouls, my characteristics aren’t that far from them. Allow me to show you my true form,” he dropped the brush that he had been holding. Heidi held her breath at the thought if he was going to turn to a ghoul himself but he didn’t. Instead the man stood there not moving a muscle and she wondered if he was joking about it until the structure in his face began to change slowly. It took few seconds for the change that took place and he didn’t look anywhere close to the skeleton like ghouls she had come across. The sides of his mouth was torn into half as he accustomed the wide wolf like teeth which was big and sharp. Heidi wasn’t sure if it looked wild or scary. The color of his iris had turned black from red.

Her heart began to thud when he approached her, passing one canvas after another. When he came to stand right in front of her. She gulped as she stared into his unblinking, enigmatic eyes. In a blink of an eye, he wound his hand around her waist, pulling her to him so that her frame was pressed to the front of his body.

Raising his hand to her face, he placed it on her cheek, curling his fingers towards her hair before leaning down to kiss on her lips as his face went back to how it was. Any words that she wanted to pass through her lips had gone dry and into dust. His hold tightened as the kiss deepened, making her clutch his arm and the silk like shirt he wore.

“Mm!” came the muffled voice from Heidi as Nicholas didn’t let go of her or the kiss they had begun to share. Her head began to buzz with lack of air and fortunately, Nicholas let go of her lips while keeping a firm hold of her, “You are planning to kill me,” she whispered resting her forehead on his chest, trying to settle her mind as it felt all over the place.

“I plan to do a lot of things to you but killing you isn’t what’s in the list,” he chuckled, his eyes crinkling with amusement. He then said, “I want to take you to bed. Come,” he tugged her fingers, taking her to his chambers so that he could love her the way he wanted.

Reaching the room, Nicholas’ practiced hand unbuttoned the front of her dress which were fervent as they moved around her, tugging and pulling the dress until it flopped around her feet. Not wasting time, he removed the silk shirt he wore, throwing it on the floor before he picked her up to take her to bed. Heidi felt something had triggered when he had turned to his pure blooded vampire form. Though Nicholas’ expressions were calm, his actions told otherwise. After dropping her on the bed, he hovered above her body which was pressed against the soft mattress. He ran his finger from her lips down to her midriff slowly, testing her sensitivity like a delicious treat which was going to be savored.

Gasps filled the room as Nicholas touched her. Pleasing her to no end until she cried out with pleasure but the lord wasn’t satisfied with it. To him, her cries, moans and gasps that filled his room enticed him. Going back to where it all started, he kissed her calf and thighs, sucking the inner thigh before he sunk his sleek fangs into it. The blood was sweeter than the neck, so sweet that he felt compelled to drink everything but he knew well things like this needed to be preserved and treasured.

Heidi felt herself breathing raggedly and she placed the back of her hand to quieten the harsh sound that came out of her mouth. This wasn’t the second time, he had bitten her without a warning. The shock and the pain felt minimal compared to the aftermath care he took of the bite which sent pleasure shocks over her body.

When he came up, both of them facing eachother, she placed both her hands on his cheeks to see the small amount of surprise cross over her face like a comet that didn’t wait for the onlookers.
