Chapter 24; Could it be...love...?
As soon as the sun took its leave for the night, Dracula went to Anne's bedroom. For now, he wasn't trying to make her sleep with her. She would come to him and he was convinced that he would not to have to wait for too long.
When he opened the door, he found Anne sitting on the edge of her bed, half dressed, her hands on her lap. She looked quite the same way she did on her first night of work at Mina's bar. She was thinking about what was about to come and he knew it. She had figured out that he wanted her to hunt with him in the busy streets around the bars of Montreal.
Dracula entered, closing the door behind him, making her jump in surprise. She had been so lost in her thought that she didn't even noticed him watching her.
-You will have to improve your skills my love. He said, standing before her and looking down her gorgeous almost naked form. You will have to learn to trust your senses. There is vampire hunters out there, probably not a lot, but I don't want to take the risk of loosing you.
He slowly knelt before her, cupping her face in his hand. Gently, he touched his lips to her sand she responded. After a brief instant, she fold her arms around his neck and rest her head on his shoulder.
-Come sweetheart. He murmured in her ear. The night is beautiful.
Anne raised slowly and chose to wear the black and blue corset he had bought her and a pair of black jeans. When she reached her makeup mirror, she saw nothing. No reflection. She heard Dracula chuckled behind her and quickly felt his arms around her waist and he kissed her neck, making her shiver, though, in a very good way that woke her desire.
-No, you can no longer see your pretty face and that saddens me. He murmured, sucking on her earlobe. But any way, you don't need any makeup to be beautiful. I will draw your portrait, tomorrow, and you will see how gorgeous you have become.
She turned into his arms, looking into his green eyes. In the depth of his strong yet tender gaze, she found love, desire and deep sorrow. Why is he so sad? Anne couldn't help herself but embrace him tightly.
Dracule felt like crying, but didn't show it. She was in his arms, only holding him with so much tenderness, he felt as if his heart had start beating. He slowly pulled back, and saw her smile to him shyly, which made him smile in return.
-Come. Montreal awaits for us.
He held his hand out, as he had done many often in the last weeks and for the first time, she took it, without any hesitation.
