The man was just like Ed, she can say that from her distance. He had covered from head to toe but his eyes are the same as the man standing beside her.Could it be Ed's brother. Why is he in black. His eyes were intent on her, steadily looking into her eyes just like the chauffeur. Eve's heart made a jump and she stumbles into Ed's arms who moved behind her the next instance to hold her.
"He's nicky ",he rubbed her shoulders and kissed her forehead sensing her fear. Eve felt a little relieved by Edward's assurance.This man is her doctor there's nothing to be scared off. Ed towed her to the couch in the living room. She has to make a tour at the house first. She has to know where and how the house looks like. The living room was spacious enough to hold a class room. There was only a red sofa facing the television on the wall. She has to make this room cozy.
"we can do that later honey now sit comfortably ",Eve sat on the couch and Ed beside her holding her slender hips.His brother followed them to the living room and stood in front of her.Why isn't he talking, is he dumb. She got a squeeze on her hips, indicating the warning to stop thinking.
"He wants to check with the baby, allow him",Edward whispered along her ears, which always made her shiver from head to toe, not from fear but pure desire. She nodded her head in approval which made a few strands of hair escaping her bun she secured with a clip. This woman is becoming more gorgeous day by day making him want her more. He tried to put the escaped strands behind her ears, a clear excuse to savour those cheeks again.
Nick clears his throat remaining his presence to this newly mated couple.This couple is making him uncomfortable right now.He never wished for a mate and not a saint like his brother.He is not the guy who could settle for one.Girls can only be a feed and a play thing in front of his eyes.They can never be more than that and he never trusted any woman in his entire life, let alone his own mother.And he has to make sure this woman will never hurt his brother even in her dreams.
"Dr Nicholas De 'Casto,not a specialist in anything but yes , can treat almost any patient in the world",he pulled his hand from his trousers which was covered in black gloves.Why is this man covered from head to toe.But he looks like the same man she saw at the parking.
"Could your hair be strawberry blond",Eve questioned him taking his hand.The contact was only for few seconds and he withdrew immediately,
"You have a good memory"
"Have you guys met before",Ed moved closer to eve ,eyeing at his brother.Nick might have long before felt about it ,but he didn't let any indication of its happening.Every time he would try to alert him indirectly,but in this case he doest remember his brother alerting him.What is in his brother's mind.
"I saw him in the parking on that day you made a call for the first time",she remembered those stunning hair and hazel eyes that was a carbon copy of his brother.
"Nicky",he has to know what was his brother thinking when he went to meet Eve without his knowledge.their meeting can never be a coincidence.
"Let's first check on the baby honey",Nick knelt down in front of Eve and looked at her eyes.She was attacked by yet another hazel eyes.But this hazel can only resembled Ed ,but the sorrow in those deep eyes had never been in Ed 's.This man has some heart crushing sorrow inside himself.Eve doesn't think Ed would know about this.
"We need to talk after this,''Ed gritted through his teeth at Nick who was getting his attention to the flat stomach of his mate.
"Can you please let your guard down",Nick requested Eve still focussing on her stomach.
"I am,''she wasn't nervous in the beginning but after he started staring at her belly she felt a little bit nervous.
"I don't want to put my life at stake,your baby's energy can only accept people who you think are close to you",and he's not willing to take any risk with his niece or nephew.
"I'm letting my guard down"
"Not enough and i can feel it"
"You dress and all this doesn't help with what you ask for",seeing him fully black is making her more nervous.
"I can only do this ",Nick removed his gloves to reveal pale hands that lacked the color of blood.She was not surprised ,vampire features are same as she read in the books.this might have scared someone but she felt relieved at the sight of his skin.He is like Ed ,and he won't hurt her.
When nick felt her guard down,he covered her stomach with a his kerchief and placed his right palm on her.Eve flinched at the coldness of his hands .
"Easy,the development of spinal cord and the lungs are fine for now.You might have morning sickness so try to get fed often and don't try to control your blood lust"
"How do you know"the moment Ed plunged his teeth for the second time in the car,she had the urge to taste of him.she was eager for his taste,For one moment she thought she was turning into a vampire.But she brushed at the thought as curiosity.
"Blood lust",Ed questioned at Eve the very next moment.
