(I think that playing Alexa Ray Joel- Notice Me during this part will kinda help with understanding this part. When I say stop! HAHA thanks!)
"What did you say?" I asked confused. Alex's eyes got dark and I could tell Zander had just arrived.
"Oh Princess do you remember what you told me in the forest? You said you wanted to play a game, and well let's just say that the games have begun," Zander said and turned his back to me. He walked forwards and I walked backwards. Then he sharply turned to face me our noses barely a centimeter away.
"Oh…I totally forgot about that," I said thoughtfully. He took my hand and spun me around and stopped me by placing a hand on my side.
"So just so we are clear…the games have started," he said and I smirked.
"Yes and here comes game one," I whispered in his ear. I pulled away and walked over to Matt. I touched his shoulder. He looked up at me with his dark brown eyes. They were filled with lust or some kind of yearning. He took my hand and we walked to the dance floor. He spun me tightly and held me close. I looked over at Alex or Zander. He was seething in the middle of the floor. His hands were kind of glowing. I winked at him and I licked Matt's ear. I could feel Matt shudder. I grinned. The darkness was boiling at the surface and I thought that no harm would be in letting a little out. I stuck out my left leg behind me far and pulled myself up by holding on to Matt's coat. Matt looked down at me with hunger.
"Kearia…I want you," he whispered. I grinned up at him and barely brushed my lips against his. Then he was gone and Alex was in front of me.
"He wants you…but he cannot have you," he hissed in my ear. I shivered and Alex trailed his hands down my back and grabbed my butt. He squeezed and then he pushed me away his hands at my fore arms. His head was down and he was breathing hard.
"Game one goes to me," I whispered and went to pull away but he looked up and gripped my arms tighter. I winced and his eyes were like the dark blue ocean. He looked slightly crazy.
"Oh no darling, that was just the opening act," he said and he trailed his hand lightly up my arm causing tingles to run up my body.
"Ooooh," I moaned and my eyes fluttered closed. I could practically hear him smile. What was he doing to me? I wanted to lean in closer and then pull away.
"Like that? Well Matt can't do that to you. Only I can make you feel this way," he said and I felt my legs turn to goo. He held me up and lightly trailed his nose on my neckline. He walked backwards, we were still dancing but I could barely realize what I was doing.
"Say you want more," Alex whispered to me and I almost gave in but the darkness in me forced me to focus.
"Hey Alex…" I whispered and then I trailed my hand lightly up and down his pants. I gripped the zipper. I opened my eyes and looked at him and his mouth was clench closed. His eyes were looking down at me with something more than lust. I grinned.
"Ke-Kearia," he stuttered and I pulled away. I grinned and he hissed. He grabbed my hands and placed them on his chest.
"Oooh big boy now stutters," I teased and he glared at me. He wrapped his hands on my lower back. He started to slowly sway. I could swear Alex was definitely bipolar. He was being all sweet now. I slowly rested my head on his chest. I could hear the steady slow beat of his heart.
"Kearia…I win this round," he said and walked away from me. I just stood there with my mouth open.
(STOP LISTENING TO 'NOTICE ME' NOW! THANK YOU IT IS NOW OKAY TO CONTINUE!)
He walked away his hair slightly shinning in the light. I was standing there fighting the tears. He did not win. That bastard. Only he could break down my walls and leave me vulnerable. He walked up to a girl with short black hair and green eyes. He pulled her close and kissed her with an open mouth. I could imagine a wall of glass behind me shattering. I looked around and I saw my shocked face. There were clear shinning lines running down my face. The darkness inside me was a foaming pot of anger. I tried to keep clam but as I walked away from the dance floor I could tell my movements were slightly jerky. I gazed around the room and then I found the guy that Alex seemed to hate. His shaggy black hair and dark emerald eyes were looking around with disinterest. I walked up to him and touched his coat clad arm.
"Hey," I whispered and he turned his dark emerald eyes to my light green eyes. He smiled and I could feel that he was dangerous but I did not care. Alex was going to pay for making me feel weak again.
"Hello," he said in a smooth voice. There was a slight gruffness to his voice. I wished he sounded more like Alex. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? I shook my head mentally and smiled at the dark haired guy.
"What's your name?" I asked and he looked over at Alex. I turned around to and I saw Alex glaring with ferocity at us. I smirked and winked at Alex.
"Jacob, but please call me Jake," he said and kissed my hand lightly. His lips trailed softly up my arm. I grinned widely. He would be perfect.
"Please to meet you Jake. I am Kearia," I said in a sultry tone. His dark eyes flashed and he held out his arm. I smiled and took his arm. He walked us to the dance floor. The music was still playing softly. It was a haunting melody. Jake held my left hand in his right hand and placed his left hand on my lower hip, as I placed my right hand behind his neck.
"So forward," I teased and he chuckled.
"So people have told me," he said and I tried to look interested but my thoughts trailed off to Alex and that slut he was dancing with. We pass them once and Alex's back barely brushed my shoulder. I held back a hiss. I instead stepped closer to Jake, acting like Alex pushed me towards him. Jake looked like he was going to punch Alex but I lightly tugged on the back neck hairs and he turned back to me. He leaned in closer and trailed his nose against my cheek. I sighed. I was such a great actor. Jake's hand traveled lower and soon it was resting on the top of my ass. He spun me around and dipped me. I giggled as he pulled me up. Then the music stopped. I looked at the clock. It was Ten o'clock. I saw everyone sitting down getting ready to eat. Jake led me to my table and pulled my chair out. Alex was already sitting down hunched over stirring his glass of wine.
"Thank you Jakey, for that lovely dance," I said and lowered my eyelids. Jake smirked and pulled my hand up to his lips. He kissed my hand again but for a slightly longer time. I giggled and Alex spun around and glared at Jake.
"I think it is time for you to leave to your seat now Jacob," Alex growled and Jake bowed to me and snorted in Alex's direction. He walked away and I acted like I was watching him walk away. Once he was out of my line of sight I turned back to face my plate. Lorena was looking at her drink with raised eyebrows. Matt had a hand under the table and by the face Bianca was making I could tell he was doing something more than relaxing. Mike was looking at everyone from lowered eyelids as Amber ran her hand over his chest lovingly.
"Have a good time with Jacob, Kearia?" Callison asked and I smiled at her. She looked triumphant but I winked at her.
"Yeah he is a great dancer. I think I may dance with him at the after party," I said and she huffed.
"Good luck trying because all of the after parties are rated PG," she said and I rested my arm on the table.
"Not this time," I said with a wink and poured myself a glass of the new wine that I believe the Lorena had place. This time it was slightly sweeter. I enjoyed it.
"Do you like it?" Linus asked and I nodded quickly. He nodded too.
"Why are you two wearing ties? I thought only adults wear the ties?" I asked to Matt and Mike. Matt was 'busy' and Mike turned his dark gaze to me.
"We are twenty years old. We have been turned and technically we are adults. So we are wearing ties. I believe that when you are in your twenties is when you get turned. But most people wait until their late or middle twenties. We decided to be turned earlier. Being turned at a teenager age would make you unstable. The darkness is too 'close' at those ages," Mike said slowly in a deep voice. I nodded that gave me more information on this whole vampire thing. Then our food was brought out by vampire waiters. They did really take the whole 'no human' rule seriously. Our waiter had two trays on his one arm and placed a plate full of mash potatoes, corn, green beans, steak, chicken, and bread in front of me. Everyone got the same thing except for Lorena; she had a salad with cranberries, and mandarin oranges. Everyone was waiting for something and I looked behind me. I saw my parents standing up at their table. They held up their glass full of…blood? Wine? I do not know but they looked at me and smiled.
"We thank you all for joining us at this party. We have just gotten our daughter, Kearia, back and we thank you all for your worries. She is safe from harm and will be so until she is turned…then nothing will be able to harm her. A toast to having our children safe and happy. Thank you," my father said held up his drink. Everyone did the same and I quickly grabbed my drink and held it up. Then we all took a drink. I sipped my drink a little. I did not want to lose control here. My parents sat back down and the conversation started back up. I turned back to my table and everyone was chatting about the vampire world. I just started to eat my steak and chicken. I was famished. We all ate for an hour and then the older vampires started to leave. I saw some vampires tugging a rope, then the lights dimmed and my parents walked over to me.
"Kearia, we are retiring to our room. There will be guards outside and inside. We expect that the dancing will be kept clean…ish," my mom said and winked at me. I blushed and then I realized that she heard what I said.
"Now be good," my dad said and led my mom out of the ball room they were the last to leave. I saw some vampires setting up a DJ spin station. I could see a few guards scattered here and there. Then a vampire walked up to me.
"Milady, will you do the honors of starting the after party," he asked and held out a microphone. I nodded and walked up next to the DJ. He was starting to get the music ready. I tapped the microphone and I could hear the sound reverberate throughout the ball room.
"Uh…hi everyone, I am Kearia, and I would like to welcome you to the first after party that will not be so strict. Umm…but I do request that you try to keep it clean-ish. So please don't start undressing and having sex okay…and no secret hand jobs or blowjobs," I said and everyone laughed and then I heard the DJ clear his throat, "Okay…umm well let's party!"
I handed the DJ the microphone and he started to get everyone pumped. I walked back to my table but it wasn't there anymore. Instead was a large drink table with a working fountain with fruit punch. I put a small cup in and I sniffed it. Okay definitely spiked a little. I put the cup down and walked to the snack table. It was filled with all sorts of goodies. Some people were already snacking on them. I walked past a group of girls. They were whispering about something. I tried to get closer but they stopped talking once I was within a few feet.
"Real smooth girls real smooth," I whispered to myself. I walked to the dance floor and I was immediately absorbed in the mass of bodies dancing. The DJ was playing 'Everybody talks' by Neon Tress. There were girls grinding on guys and then girls grinding on girls. I just swayed and moved with the people around me. Then two warm hands found my lower waist. I looked behind me and I saw green eyes. Jake. I started to rub against him. I was hoping Alex was watching or this would be all for nothing. We danced like that for a few songs and then my feet started to hurt.
"Jake I need to sit down," I half shouted half said in his ear. He nodded and took me by my arm and we sat down at a small table for two. He sat across from me eating the little bowl of nuts.
"Well this is a better turn out this ball than it was last ball. Callison will be so pissed," he mused and I snorted. I could care less what Callison said to me. She was a stuck up bitch that had to get everything she wanted.
"I am going to go dancing again," he said once I didn't answer. I nodded my head and started to eat the almonds. I watched as the half vampires danced and had a good time. I would definitely thank my parents majorly once I saw them. They must have known this would earn me some brownie points with the other royal half vampires. I stood up and walked back into the mass of people. I started to dance and move this time with more energy. I danced with who ever came up to me. I looked up at the clock far away and I saw it was close to one. Then I was pulled up to a strong warm chest. I looked up and saw bright blue eyes. Alex again…when will he stop doing this to me? My heart sped up a little. I bet he could tell because a slight grin lite his features. He bent his head down and brushed my nose with his nose. Then he kissed me. It was mind blowing. Our tongues battled for dominance. One of his arms held me close as the other gripped my neck gently. Everybody else was just ignoring us and dancing around us. Alex took a breather and looked in my eyes.
"No matter what happens, know that I will always…always be there for you," he said and that got me. I was so confused. What the fuck! I need answers to why he was acting like this! He was driving me nuts! I tried to glare at him but I could see my reflection in his deep blue orbs and I was feebly glaring. He smiled and kissed me again. Soon I needed air so I turned my head to the side. Alex started to kiss my cheek and jaw line. I looked around and I saw that it was really close to one. Alex looked over to the clock and turned back to me with an evil grin.
"Come with me," he said and pulled me out of the ball room. Instead of going right to my room, he went left to the other wing. He half dragged me to a door. He opened it and all I saw was a red, white, black room. There was a bed and a closet. That was it for the furniture, because the bed took up the whole place. Hanging on the wall in front of the bed was a T.V. Alex closed and locked the door. He walked to the closet and took off his clothes. I quickly turned away and I adverted my eyes. I did see his nicely toned back and ass. I blushed and tried to keep myself from giggling like a school girl. Then Alex placed his warm hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and I saw his eyes filled with softness. He held out a piece of black clothing.
"Here, you can get dressed in the closet. I won't look, I promise," he said and I narrowed my eyes.
"Like you promised you would be on your best behavior when we went to the ball?" I asked with a slight hiss. He sighed and shook his head.
"This time I truly mean it," he said and turned around. I glared at his bare back as I walked backwards to his closet. I closed the door just in case. I could hear him give a short laugh. I quickly changed into the t-shirt and basketball shorts. I didn't have a tank top so I would have to go bra less. I walked into his room and I was hit with a shock of a hundred volts of electricity. I didn't moved I just stood there shocked. WHY WAS I IN HIS ROOM! HOW IN THE HELL DID I GET HERE! AGAIN WHY AM I HERE! I looked around for Alex but I saw a hidden doorway slightly open. I walked over and I saw Alex brushing his teeth.
"I want to leave," I said and he looked at me. I immediately shook my head. Why would I want to leave? He was being nice. I should be nice too. He smiled at me and took my hand. He had finished brushing his teeth and led me to his bed. He laid down and I laid down next to him. I was facing him and I could smell his fresh breath on my face. I quickly covered my mouth just in case my breath smelled like shit. He laughed and wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I rested my head on his arm and my cheek pressed against his chest. I quickly fell asleep in his arms.
