Scarlett's POV
The name Scarlett wouldn't have been my first pick, but it would have to do since I couldn't remember anything of my previous life. Finding out that I was not Alive , but not dead almost somewhere in the middle was utterly terrifying. Some how somewhere I have heard of vampirism. Forced to live in the shadows to feeding upon unfortunate victims , nothing seemed glorious about it. What still makes no sense is how I got this way. " Which one of you did it? Turned me into this monster?" Maria cackled as she looked upon Arnold. " Your mess, I'll leave you to clean it up. Once you settle this mess, I want her to start first thing in morning on choirs. No exceptions!" said Maria. Before strutting off she gave me the most wickedness grin that cause every hair on my body to almost stand up. Me being here was obviously upsetting her and she wanted to make it clear as day that I knew that. With a slam of the door it was just now Arnold and I.
It was clear his conscience was guilty. He avoided my inquisitive eyes that stared up at him. Clearly thinking of what to say to answer my question. " It seems our paths have crossed tonight. I was in search of blood for I needed to feed and there you were alone in the woods. Everything was all too perfect, I couldn't pass the opportunity up. However I can't explain to you at this time why I turned you, not till later I'm afraid." "Tell me now!" I shouted. My blood was boiling, every emotion of fear I felt earlier was gone only to be replaced with rage.
Arnold's POV
The young woman before me was livid and she had every right to be. How to explain I changed her for I thought she was beautiful enough to be my mate. This also wouldn't go well with Maria either, but the lie of her being our maid would have to suffice for the time being. " I felt you would be more useful by my side then dead. Like Maria said you will be useful in the upkeep of this estate." The truth may have calmed her down if that had been an option, but her being angry with me caused her to throw a pillow at my direction. She darted towards the door, but I was too quick. Literally she ran into me as she raced towards the door. The woman must have been blinded by her rage as she began to kick and punch at me violently. I couldn't help, but laugh for the abuse towards me tickled or had no affect on me what so ever. " Scarlett my dear, I created you therefore I am stronger and wiser than you. You are simply making a fool of yourself." I spoke in a soft tone in hopes she may in return calm down. Mere seconds my side of face started to sting as her hand slapped my cheek causing my head to turn to the right. " Well it seems Scarlett , Maria might be right you should start your duties tomorrow. I was going to talk her out of it, give you a chance to acclimate with your new life. All will be forgiven if you apologize right now for slapping me." " Apologize ! Don't you think it is you who should apologize to me?" she shouted. " I won't apologize for saving your life , if anything you should be grateful of the gift I bestowed upon you!" " You call this a gift? How about a nightmare that keeps on giving. You killing me would've spared me this fate." She said . Such words she spoke were like venom. Her assaults were nothing compared to that mouth of hers. The feistiness she possessed angered me , but ignited a fire in me to tear off all her clothing and have my way with her. Scarlett was right about one thing in the little time that she has known me and that was l'm a monster. A monster that has had several years to work on its temper to presume to be a gentleman in the today's society.
" Scarlett the sun shall be rising in an hour from now. It will kill you if you don't seek shelter. You be sleeping with me till tonight when I can get a coffin of your own." Her eyes lit up with fear. There was first for everything in a young vampires life. Experiencing sleeping in a coffin I didn't want her to be alone and panic when she finally had awoken. " No No No No I won't do it!" There was no use reasoning with this woman in her distressed state. My arm wrapped around her waist as I holstered her over my shoulder. What a commotion she was causing as i carried her down the hall towards my chambers. Maria peaked her head out of room as she watched the spectacle of carrying this mad woman over my shoulder. " Where are you taking her Arnold?" said Maria. She was now in light blue silk night gown that came down to her feet. " She Will be sleeping with me till I get a coffin for her." I saw Maria going to protest ,but I beat her to it. " She should have her own coffin tomorrow, relax will you!" Her eyes rolled at me. Displeasure in me bringing a strange woman into chambers was infuriating to her. However I am the master to this house and will do as I please. The last door on the left of the long hall was my chambers. Both a coffin and bed were in my chambers. As long as I've been existing my tolerance to the sun has gotten better. Claustrophobia would kick in sometimes so the bed was a nice alternative. The mahogany coffin laid before us and I set her down back on her feet. She must of not thought I was serious about the coffin as she stared upon it. Her cursing had halted as fear consumed her once more. With a wave of my hand the lid the coffin opened exposing pearl white silk lining inside." After you my dear." I gestured my hand to the coffin. Scarlett looked at me as if I was insane, but she would learn all to quickly how vulnerable she could be if exposed to the sun's Ray's.
Scarlett's POV
It was a coffin laying on the stone ground before me. This could not be happening and he was crazy to think I would sleep in that with him. I shook my head at him for I was at a loss for words. " Scarlett I implore you to please get in. We don't have much time to spare ." He now pointed out the window and I saw the sky mixed with purple and orange. Signaling that Dawn was slowly approaching. My options were limited and Arnold seemed to know this. Ideas of escaping for now would have to wait till dusk. Reluctantly I I stepped into coffin and laid on my side to make room for him. A satisfied look crept upon his face as he stepped in as well. It felt as if my heart fell into my stomach as I slowly watched the lid to the coffin close. How was I supposed to sleep? It was pitch black and I wasn't laying in one of the most comfortable positions on my side. My body almost jumped in response to him snaking his arm around my stomach pulling me closer to him. " Rest easy now my little one, tomorrow will be an eventful one I'm sure." How was I supposed to sleep? I had so many questions unanswered and my emotions let's not get started on everything I was feeling during this whole ordeal. Something was poking me in my back side and it took me a minute to realize what it was. The urge to vomit was strong for him spooning me seemed to have an affect on him. Scooting away from him as much as I could in this tight box was no success as he just pulled me back. His hand was now where my breast was. Sick bastard only made me sleep with him so he grope me .
Arnold's POV
Her hair smelt of fresh flowers in a lush pasture. I buried my face into her auburn locks inhaling her scent as I did. She had an effect on me for sure as I'm sure she felt my privates poking at her back side. With not much room it was hard for me even adjust myself. It was taking everything in my power not to mate with her. The way her curves felt underneath my fingers tips to the soft moans she made as tried to get comfortable, it was unbearable. I grabbed a part of her skirt , hiking it up while feeling her soft flesh of her thigh. Sobs could be heard as I advanced towards her undergarments. Pulling her shoulder till she was now on her back I climbed over her. " Do not fear me, I won't do anything you're not comfortable with."
Scarlett's POV
" You have a wife why would you even consider doing this?" I asked. He was now laying on top of me with my skirt pulled up all the way to my waist. His demonic red eyes glowed in the darkness that surrounded us in this tight space. I had never been with a man especially not this close and intimate with one. His groin was grinding into mine. It was not unpleasant, but a foreign feeling I've never experienced before. My mind and body were not on the same page. Everything in my mind was screaming for him to stop, but my body yearned for more. " Maria understands as master to this house I can have whomever I want in my chambers as I see fit. Right now you are the one I want to pleasure." Iced kisses were placed along my jawline as he moved towards my lips. " I'm only 23 years of age. I want to wait till I'm married to someone sir." His kisses ceased but his eyes still stared deep into my soul. I sighed in relief as his advances relented, but I wasn't ready for what he was about to say next. " Technically we are married or a union now. The act of siring you earlier makes you mine and mine alone. My blood runs through your veins deepening the bond that you and I share now. Consider this as our wedding night if you will." " Ah so you lied earlier about me being a maid didn't you?" I said. " Not necessarily, you will be my maid and other wife till Maria gets used to the idea." Great just great I thought I was married or whatever now to this monster who hovered above me. The back burner is where I would stay till he had the courage to break the news to his first wife. I didn't want this for myself. Burning to a crisp in the sun's light sounded more appealing with each second that passed.
My body jumped as his cold fingers rubbed up and down against my underwear. Underwear was now becoming soaked by his advances, the smell of lust was becoming more prominent between the two of us. " Again my dear let me know if you wish me to stop." Yes I wanted him to stop. Absolutely I did, but the words wouldn't escape my lips. Just moans of ecstasy were released from the fingering that he was partaking in. I could hear the unbuckling of his belt, but I dared not look away from his eyes. Like a moth to a flame I was entranced by the glow of his red orbs.
Arnold's POV
So much for self control I thought to myself as I pulled down my pants and trousers. No words escaped her mouth to protest me from continuing our love making. I dared not read her mind for I knew it might be a different story of what she really wanted. Her body yearned for me, it seemed to crave my touch as goosebumps began to pop up where I touched her skin. The bed would have been for preferable for this kind of scenario ,but I couldn't chance her first 24 hours of being a vampire with the sun. With her under garments out of the way there was no need to stall anymore. She gasped in pain as i thrusted myself inside her. She was impeccably tight ,a virgin for sure. Her nails dug into my back as I continued to enter her slowly. The slower the better till she got used to my thickness. " Please stop you're hurting me!" Stop now ? I thought. It felt amazing to be inside of her as deep as I was. Being the first to explore such depths as hers was exhilarating to say the least. " My apologies Ill be more gentler my dear." I kissed her fiercely on the lips muffling any protest of me continue my love making with her.
Scarlett's POV
I never thought my first time with a man would hurt so much. It seemed he was stretching everything down there with each thrust. The pain was getting to me, my tolerance for pain was low . My protests for him to stop were silenced as he kissed me deeply. One by one I unbuttoned his dress shirt. Although in pitch darkness I could feel his abs, his chest was well toned to the touch. Arnold was a very attractive man, but this what not what I had in mind. I knew nothing of this man that I have known less than 24 hours. My so called husband, partner, or whatever he was, was only a stranger. His thrusting quickened up pace and seemed he was on verge on climax by the growls that emitted from him. I bit my bottom lip as the pain was now intensifying. My eyes were now shut as I could feel something warm erupt inside me. His forehead now rested upon mine as his icy cold breath chilled my face.
Arnold's POV
Built up tension months of it in fact, seemed to disappear instantly. The instant gratification I felt was short lived when I saw more tears escape from her eyes. The circumstances were not to be desired. The young woman wanted love before intimacy. Backwards as everything was I wanted to make her feel longed for ,cared for. With the built up sexual tension out of the way I began to wipe tears of blood from her eyes. "You know your even beautiful when you cry?" A small smile crept upon her face as i continued to stare lovingly into those chocolate eyes of hers. I now laid on my side while she remained still on her back. " Tomorrow I wish to take you on walk through Budapest. I feel it will be a good way to get to know each other more." " But you will make some excuse to your wife. I'm sorry but I refuse to be some whore. I don't condone this one bit." She said. " You are not my whore you are m wife . " "Then tell her or I'm escaping this place! Trust me you can't keep me a prisoner here." Now the woman was throwing ultimatums my way. Even if she escaped with our bond I would always no where to find her. She now rolled to her side as an act to dismiss me. I finally relented. "I shall tell her tomorrow, now rest. The sun is already upon us."
