Chapter 9

Before I could told myself to stop I moved to the door and opened it. He stood there for a few seconds just staring at me before moving inside. Zack started to look around the room, inspecting carefully his surroundings, I noticed how he stopped to stare at the pictures that were on my wall. A spark of fear invaded me as he drank every detail on them, I finally understood how dangerous he really was, it only took me for him to see my family and friends on those pictures. I was playing with fire and if I screw up they were going to pay for all my mistakes.

" Why are you here? Are you going to drink my blood and make me believe it was all a dream afterwards?" I really needed to control my tongue around him, unfortunately I was not going to start that day.

"When I drink your blood you would know it was me and that it was not a dream"

"If, not when." I responded ignoring the small fact that told me he had thought about drinking my blood. I needed to buy better locks tomorrow.

"Sure." He gave me a small smile before turning to see the pictures again. "Are they your family? You look just like your mom."

" It doesn´t matter, they are not part of anything we are dealing here" I was really tempted to move in front of him to block his view but that would show him how freak out I was about him knowing my family so I forced myself to stop. "You didn´t answer my question, why are you here?"

"I´m good at reading human feelings, I guess is a talent all vampires have" He stared coldly at me, Zack already knew my fears and I was wondering when he was going to use them against me." and the moment I stood there I knew there was something more going on with you than the obvious anger you had because of the case. So tell me Alice, what do you want to tell me?"

"I think you are using me" I said softly moving closer to him. "I think there is something more going on between you and Alduin, there is a reason why he is following you and I know is for something really bad is it not?"

"Or maybe you are over thinking everything." Zack moved even closer to me until his face was only a few inches away from mine and only a few inches separating our lips. "maybe I just like you?"

"You barely know me." I managed to keep my eyes focusing on his, noticing how they got a little darker. "And if this is your way of seduction you are doing a very crappy job." Moving away from him I took a deep breath, those words were a complete lie, he was actually pretty good. When I turned I let out a gasp, he was even more closer than before. I needed to remember that vampires moved fast.

"Am I?" he whispered, his voice got even more deep.

"Personal space, humans need that." Trying to change the subject I spoke again quickly, not waiting for his reply. "Why would you use that girl? I doubt the only blood bank the vampires use are the ones owned by Alduin."

"Nothing compares to get it directly from the source, how warm the blood still is, how soft against my lips a woman neck feels, how the sound of pleasure coming out of her lips is the sweetest music in the world."

Whoa, ok he is good. I guess my change of subject just made everything worst, good to know.

"So that means you were that vampire? the one the girl on the internet wrote about?" I told him after clearing my throat. Where the hell was Analise when you needed her?

"I don´t know of what you are talking about, I´m simply explaining to you why vampires prefer to drink directly from humans" He smirked at me. "I will do my research once I get home, you made me curious about that story."

"What should I expect about the business woman?" I tried to change the subject again, hopefully there was no way he could turn around that question. Fortunately I was right.

"To see the true nature of humans." Zack said turning serious again. "For you we are the monster, and maybe we are, but something we all have in common despite our difference is that we fight for a better future for our race. See around you Alice, humans fight for power, that´s the main motivation for your race. They don´t care about each other, they don´t care if some of their own are dying from hunger, they only care about themselves. They are even capable to sell their own race for a promise of power on a new world."

The last part he told it with a smirk and it made me froze on the spot I was standing. His words were true, I wasn´t going to defend something that was impossible to do, but with that last sentence I truly saw how easy we are to corrupt because I knew he wasn´t lying, I knew he did not say that to hurt me, he said that to warn me.

"Why don´t you just tell me everything? You know how all these victims are related, why are you making me follow all these hints?"

"Because I know you will not trust completely on my words, you doubt of everything that comes out of my mouth so I´m making you see for yourself. Your eyes can't lie."

"God" I whispered moving away from him and running my hands across my face. "I miss the days when your kind was just a fantasy."

"You are part of a small group, I´m betting a lot of people would get excited. Your difference is refreshing, it fascinate me." I was glad to hear his voice was away from me when he said that. Not sure if I should felt happy that I fascinated him.

"I don´t want to fascinate you." I turned around. He rested his weight on the wall and crossed his arms with an intense look on his face. "You will get over it."

"Who are you trying to convince of that? Me or yourself?"

"Analise would help you, don´t worry. Fascination never last long."

"What kind of relationship you think I have with her?"

"It doesn´t matter, if is not about the case I don´t want to know about it."

"We are only sleeping together, drink her blood a couple of times, doesn´t mean much. She is not my mate, there is nothing wrong with enjoy my time while I found her." Zack grinned.

"Huh, you know what you just proved me?"

"Enlighten me."

"That no matter the race guys still act like assholes."

Suddenly his deep laugh resonated around my apartment, it was amazing to see how much his face changed with that. He looked so beautiful, inhumanly beautiful, you knew if you were there that he had to be something more than a human and as his laugh continued I had a dangerous thought:

He fascinated me as much as he did with me.

"You better go, I need my beauty sleep." He needed to go fast, the thought I had wasn´t good and if he stayed one more second on my apartment it could get worst.

"If you are only sleeping for beauty I must tell you is completely unnecessary."

"Get out" I told him moving to open the door of the balcony. "And think of better pick up lines, I´m sure that worked in the 18 century so you need to update them."

"If the lines from the 21 century guys worked you wouldn´t be alone in this apartment" He smirked standing at the door.

"Touche, now go."

I´m not sure how it happened, it was so fast, but the next thing I felt were some cold lips on my neck and his arms around my waist.

"Goodnight Alice." He whispered kissing my neck before disappearing at light speed in the night.

My relationship with Zack got even more complicated. Fuck.
