That was true, Hazel couldn't move a step forward and he was the only one to gain if they kept walking
"Should we keep on walking or do it my own way" he mocked
"Do it your way" she answered under her breath which Xavier still heard.
He smiled mischievously and he came closer to her to close the space between them. He felt her jerk when he placed his hands on her shoulder and then down to her back until it stopped at her waist, he could hear her pounding heart and he loved how it was beating fast.
His eyes that were on her slowly came down to her lips and then to her neck, he tucked the hair that was covering her neck at the back of her ear. Hazel felt blood rush up to her cheeks at the position they were and her knees were shaking, Xavier noticed this and slowly pushed her so her back was against a tree. He looked at her once again as if to say 'this might hurt'
"Just a little right?" Hazel questioned between her heavy breaths
"Of course just a little" and he sank his fangs in her neck, it was hurting at first but later she came to love the feeling, she blushed harder as the posture they were at the moment seemed erotic. He kept on drinking even after Hazel reminded him that it was just a little he was supposed to take. He tried to savour how her blood tastes as it may take a long time before he could have another opportunity to take again. He retracted his fangs and used his coarse tongue to lick up the remaining on her neck leaving nothing to go to waste, when he withdrew from her neck to look at her, she could see her blood by the side of his lips and he used his tongue to lick it also
"You said just a little" she scolded
"I got carried away, your blood tastes sweeter than before" he shrugged
She wanted to get off his grip but his hands on her waist tightened.
"Could we now go back to the mansion" she asked
"Where did the magic word go to"
'I just finished giving you my blood and you still expect me to beg?'Hazel wanted to say but having to energy to complain at the moment, she just gave in and said 'please'. The next second, they were at the mansion in the same position, this time he was staring at her lips. She licked her lips as it suddenly became dry
"Don't do that" Xavier said and Hazel understood immediately
"Could you let go of me"
"If I do, you might fall, your knees are shaking"
"They aren't shaking anymore"
"That's because I'm still holding you"
"I'm okay"
"Stop arguing, I know your weak as I took blood, I'll take you to the bed" he said leaving no room for arguments
'I wonder how I'll cope with you' she thought
"You'll learn to" Xavier answered and Hazel widened her eyes in shock
'Did he read my mind' she thought again
And as if hearing her question, he answered "Don't worry I don't read mind I just read facial expressions" he dropped her on the bed slowly " stay put I'm going to check on something " and he left.
Hazel was left with relles who was in the cage
"Do you know why he's this nice" she asked relles " cause Lord Xavier that everyone says is mean and harsh and wicked and... Just tag any bad quality to him "
'Just be careful Hazel' relles thought
Xavier was with Lucas at one of the corridors and Lucas explained what happened as they were gone
"They came for the girl Milord"
"Did they come in"
"No but Lady Dorin was bent on seeing her and she's thinking that you are getting close to the girl"
"She should"
"She keeps tagging herself as your wife"
"I see" Xavier said "any news"
"There was a letter sent, it was to inform you about the party held for Lord Xyle's birthday at Rivelle"
"When is it"
"Next week, Milord"
"Okay"
"That's all Milord"
"Tell Lady Dorin to meet me at the drawing room"
"I will" and Lucas left
Xavier went back to the room only to see that Hazel was no longer there
'Where has she gone to' he thought. He left the room and left to the drawing room to see Dorin and he saw Hazel going yo the attic. Hr had always kept that place locked but today he forgot to, he let her enter and he left.
At the drawing room
"Milord, you called for me" Dorin said
"Yes I did... I heard you were searching for me while I was our with Hazel" he emphasized on while I was out with Hazel to see her reaction
"Yes I was"
"OK"
"I wanted to apologize for how I acted"
"Again, cause you keep on apologizing"
"----"
"You came to apologize to me but you were asking for the girl?"
"I...uhm...I actually wanted to apologize to her" she quickly lied
"Since when did Lady Dorin apologize to people who are considered to be below her"
"I acted wrongly by trying to kill the rabbit, I'm sure it's the only precious thing she had"
"Are you trying to mock her"
"No I'm just stating facts"
"Really"
"Yes"
"Hmmn, then I could call her here for you to apologize then"
Dorin's face went pale at that instant "I thought you wanted to apologize to her"
"W..well ye...yes"
"When are you planning on leaving, you've overstayed your welcome... I let you stay cause your my distant cousin"
"I'll be going after Lord Xyle's birthday"
"When are you going to shop for your dress"
"Next tomorrow, why do you ask"
"I'll tag along with you"
Xavier could see the excitement in Dorin's eyes, finally the Lord was giving her attention and she loved it
"It will be a pleasure Milord"
"Which shop will you be going to"
"The tailor's shop at the center of town but if you have any other place we could go there" Dorin said
"We'll go there"
Dorin blushed at his statement, finally she was going out with the Lord
