There was almost a minute of silence between the call."Not soon enough",Finally came the voice from the other end.
"What is the break down for this poison",he went inside to see Eve crouching at the corner of the bed.He rushed to her and took her in his arms to feel her ice body.She's getting colder every minute passing by.
"It's also an aphrodisiac,when mixed with lavender so that nobody would recognize it" ,there was someone who's trying to frame his brother. Before he finds them he should get hold of those people.
"Cut it out nicky.you have one minute and after that if you are not here , I will look for the vervain",he couldn't see her becoming like him, cold blooded and unresponsive.
"I'm on my way now.Before that suppress her arousal or the medicine I'm going to give her won't work",he was driving fast enough to over take whatever vehicle she see's in the front.
"I can't have sex with her ,so find some other way and her temperature is decreasing so much",he's struggling to bring the words for the first time in his one hundred and eighty years of changing.
"It's a rare case, are you sure she's a human. Because only on werewolf's ,the temperature decreases with this kind of aphrodisiac",she's not a human, nick can clearly see it, but he couldn't find which kind of creature she was. Werewolves and witches both reacts to the same way, for the lavender aphrodisiac. He can't let Ed see his uneasiness and should cool him down and make him busy, before he could go on hunt for whomever caused this.
"Do you feel she's not a human Nick",she is a human, he can only smell the human scent on her.
"Don't leave her alone Ed, try to bring her temperature normal",she is the only person who can make his brother stay in one place for now.
"I'll hunt after she's stable",his fear of losing her is controlling his rage to rip the person apart and burn him alive in front of his eyes.
"How long do you want to be a virgin my hubby,when you have a perfect opportunity, use it wisely honey",he has to distract his brother.
"Vervain",she is the only person his Nick is afraid of in his whole life. This is the only bargaining point he has with his brother.
"Okay,cool her down. find a shower or ice or whatever ,but you would be the best option",though he doesn't want his brother to be involved, he has to control his temper until he reached him. Nick is sure his brother won't touch other women in his life. But this woman is making him away from his routines.
"All you have is one minute",then the call went to a beep, indicating his brother's patience is thinning out.
Edward filled the bathtub with water and carried her to the bathtub.She tried to pull him into the tub grabbing his waist and not leaving. Fortunately he was dressed, and there was no skin to skin contact. .But after tying her hands she relaxed a little.After few seconds he carried her out and dried her off.She felt warmer than before.
When Eve opened her eyes she was shivering from cold.The room was dark dispute the feel of the morning sunshine. Edward's smell.She couldn't say what smell ,but he has his own scent.And she's starting to love it.Edward tightened his arms on her,then she realized she is not in her room.When she tried to recall,all she could remember was the bloody Edward lying on her front door.
She looked at him for wounds but she couldn't find any.Then she thought vampires heal sooner.She tried to get untangled from his arms,only to wake him up.
"Are you alright.Do you feel pain anywhere.Normal temperature",He caressed her forehead slowly and checked her temperature. Her skin was paler than before, he has to feed her.
"Yes,why",she tried to get up from the bed only to fall back near Edward.
Her joints are paining like somebody crushed them with hammer.She flinched in pain.
"What happened to me,"she turned to him.
"You were poisoned",he gnash through the words as if sick of those words
"Who was it",she pulled away from him conscious to maintain the distance.
"Will find him and rip into pieces",he bared his fangs with a pur in his voice.
She touched his hands ,and rubbed at the back of his hands.His fangs disappeared slowly and he pulled his hands and fiddled with her T shirt.
Wait.Its a T shirt.which is so loose enough for showing her shoulder blades and neck.She stared at him in utter shock.she grabbed a handful of bedsheet and covered her lower body.
"No use of covering yourself anymore.I'm familiar with your body now. "was his reply with a sincere look.
"Don't tease me Mr Romaro,cut it out",her patience level is in line of bursting out.
He was silent for a few minutes which made her to get up from the bed only to realize there is only a t shirt ,that stretched till the thighs.
"Look at yourself and you know",he want to tease her more. Her blushing cheeks looked beautiful adding life to her pale face. He wants the taste her the very instant, but he knows if he did that, she'll die sooner or later.He can't allow it.
"Why am I in your shirt",she raised from her bed in anger only to give him a glimpse of her creamy thighs.
"You know it",she eyes started wandering on her bare skin, waking all intimate fantasies to life.
"Sorry.Mr Romaro i can't recall it,Would you please Enlighten me",she wants to get away from him,without giving a glimpse of her legs to him. Thinking of him bathing her and dressing her with new cloths tingled her deepest parts.
