Author- Hey guys. Sorry my last chapter was short. Hope this chapter will make up for it. Enjoy ;)
Lyall's Pov
With the smell of fresh bread being baked once I step into the cafe, I took a deep breath and sigh. I smiled and went to the back to the bakery. Azai was just pulling out rolls of bread out the oven when I came in to grab my apron. "Oh! Good morning Lyall. Sleep well?" He asked. I stopped midway of tying my apron while my face was turning red with embarrassment. I have been having dreams… but nothing that I couldn't say out loud. One in particular came to my mind.
*Flashback*
I was in the lake swimming in nothing but a silk white dress. The water hugging my body in the right places. The water was so clear you thought it sparkled. I just laid on top of the water. Floating with no worries for once in my life. But then… I felt a disturbance in the water. Little ripples started to form in the water. I stand up in the lake; the lake going to my waist. I looked at the shore and saw a man. He was dressed in a clad of armor and red cape with the crest of a three headed dragon. "Who is he?" I thought.
I couldn't see his face because of the distance but he can see me. His stare was so piercing that I covered myself with my arms and turned around. Hoping he would go away. But the intense stare didn't go away. In fact it became worse because I suddenly felt a warm presence right behind me. I didn't even hear him come in the water. I shivered, was it in fear or… I don't know but I didn't run away. I felt his hands touch my back and stroked it softly, like I was made of glass. I shivered with every gentle touch he made. My face turning redder; my heart beating faster than ever. I think my heart almost stopped when I felt his lips touch my neck. I gasped. His arms hugging me in place. He gave one feather like kiss to my neck. I felt his warm breath and the wetness of his lips. I trembled, fearing my legs would give out. He went to my ear. "Inger, don't fear me." He said huskily. I stopped shaking. "Vlad?" I whispered. To afraid to real use my voice.
He purred in pleasure. He didn't answer me and went back kissing my neck. I moaned in pleasure. I covered my mouth, too embarrassed. He grabbed my hand and entwined it with is. "Let me hear you." He purred. I blushed so hard, that I'm sure I was a tomato by now. He chuckled deeply. I felt warmth coming from my core. I didn't understand what was happening to me but… it felt good. His hand let go of mine and he turned me around. But when I went to look at him he had… no face. I gasped in horror. But… Vlad? I think caressed my face affectionately. Though he had no face his body language was trying to tell me to not be afraid. I relaxed under his touch.
His hands slid down from my face to my waist. He pulled me closer to him. I finally realized that he was totally naked. I closed my eyes trying not to look but it was hard. The warmth of his skin… it was… I don't know what to say. It felt… right. My hands went to his chest. He shivered under my touch. "I make him feel like this?" I thought, still blushing. My hands slid down to his stomach. I have to admit that I was impressed. He had great abs. Six pack I believe. He was in great shape. I blushed even harder. I stopped at his waist and just kept my eyes closed, darning not to look at his… thing.
He chuckled and tilted my head back with his fingers. "My Inger…" he whispered. Then I felt his face come closer to mine. I felt his breath on my lips. He breath smelt of… chocolate and blood. Why? Then his lips came in contact with mine in a feathery touch. He stopped waiting for my reaction. When he saw I didn't move away. He kissed me again gently. Holding me by my waist with his arms as I did with mine to his. Not letting me go.
Then I woke up.
*End of Flashback*
"Lyall?" Azai said. I snapped out of my day dream and looked at him. "Are you okay? Your face is all red?" He asked with concern. I instantly touched my cheeks, feeling the heat coming off my face. "Really? Oh! It's just hot in here… Yeah! Just hot… I'll just be up at the counter." I said quickly. Finishing tying my apron and dashing to the front. "Alright… then?" He said with confusion.
"Oh god! That was embarrassing!" I whispered while smacking my cheeks. "I had never had a dream like that before. God what is wrong with me!" I thought. But once again I was snapped out of my thoughts when the jingle of the bell of a customer came in. I straightened myself out and smooth my apron down and turned to the customer with a big smile. " Hello welcome to our cafe. My I help you?" I asked politely. The customer didn't say anything… he just looked at me. He was attractive. A muscular body which makes him look bigger. Dirty blonde hair with flecks of white. Tanned skin and unique eyes. Blue with a fleck of purple in the iris.
He coughed and said "I'll just have a coffee. Black and to go." Gruffly. But once I heard his voice my marked started to burn. I twitched but ignored it. "Coming right up sir!" I smiled and started to make his coffee. The burn still lingered and it was starting to annoy me. "Who is he that made my mark react this way." I thought irritated. Once I was done the coffee I walked up to him and gave him his coffee. "One pound please." I asked. He gave me a pound in my hands and accidentally touch my hand. I shivered. " You have a good day." He said gruffly. "Ah… yes. You as well." I stuttered. He left without another word. I raised my marked arm and clenched it to chest. I have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen today. Another jingle came from the door and I smiled "Hello." I smiled. Work goes on.
Right at 3:00pm I dropped off my apron and started my way to church. It was Sunday and I always go to church on Sunday. "Have a good day Azai!" I said as I was exiting the cafe. "You too!" He yelled back. And I left. After a good hour I came up to the church. I smiled hearing the choir in the distance. I went up to the great doors and opened it slowly. I quietly went to a bench and sat down and listened to the song. The singing was so beautiful that I started to sing along.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
I felt my whole my body relaxed after every verus. Closing my eyes and letting the lyrics sink in.
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"
I didn't realize that the choir stopped singing and that it was just me.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Before I could finish the final versus the choir joined me to finish. Everyone clapped. I looked around and covered my mouth in shock and embarrassment. Once everything calmed down the priest came out to start his service. After the service was over everyone left I stayed behind. I wanted to stay a little longer. I got up from the bench and walk up to the cross. I got on my knees and prayed. But… when I started praying everything was blurry.Like a haze glazed over the church. I looked around in panic and fear and then I look back and instead of the cross in front of me it was the statue Mary.
But she was crying tears of blood and had a big sinister smile. She pointed at me and uttered on word.
"Unclean."
I screamed and fainted. Not knowing my mark of the crescent moon was blazing red.
