Hey everybody, sorry this has taken so long, my house is crap and my room is in the basement, it's extremely cold in my room, therefore I do not spend much time in it. Anyway, I've got my robe and a blanket, so onto to chapter four, eh? Enjoy!
Wozers01- ah c'mon, like you weren't thinkin it too, ;) lol. Thanks for the review.
Bella Sangue- Yea, it is a bit creepy, but c'mon, admit it, a hottie like Lucien makes everything all better wink wink Thanks for the review.
Well that covers all the detailed reviews, onto the story :)
It had been a week since Aiden had kidnapped her and brought here, where she met the handsome vampiric aristocrat Lucien.
Lucien had been a perfect gentleman to him the entire week, the most forward he ever was, was when he'd kiss her on the cheek now and again, he never once tried to push things farther without her concent.
That was another subject, Arial couldn't help but think as she sat alone in the library, she was becoming quite fond of Lucien and found herself thinking more and more how his lips looked like they'd feel like molten silk upon hers, there was no doubt she was attracted to her new husband.
And there was the subject of Aiden, Lucien's creepy yet now seemingly harmless brother hadn't bothered her much at all, unless he'd passed her in the halls and merely murmured a polite hello and goodbye, other than that, Aiden seemed to keep to himself a lot, it seemed even Lucien didn't see much of Aiden either.
It was almost sad actually, because during this time, Lucien had really filled her in on his brother and how growing up, Aiden was always very concerned about Lucien's welfare and did everything possible to protect him.
Lucien told her why that was as well, slayers had taken their parents when they were small children, and Aiden was so terrified of losing his older brother, the only person left in this world that loved him.
Though she still found the green eyed vampire creepy, she had to admit that she now pitied Aiden as well.
Placing down her book that she was reading, Arial looked to the window and noticed that the sun had dipped beyond the horizon, Lucien would be waking up any time now.
Stand up from the armchair, Arial exited the library, heading toward Lucien's chambers to go and greet him once he woke up as she'd done throughout the week.
Withdrawing the key Lucien had given her from the side pocket on her gown and unlocking the door, she stepped inside and locked it behind her, she then crossed the large expanse of the lavish room decorated in royal blue and lavender silks.
Arial pushed open what was disquised as a closet door to reveal Lucien's small crypt, his shining black coffin raised up by large bricks of cement, she approached the coffin at a decent distance so that Lucien wouldn't feel crowded upon just waking up.
She stood there for maybe five minutes before she heard clicks from inside the coffin, which meant that Lucien was unlocking the latches inside the coffin, then the lid rose and Lucien as beautiful as ever, sat up, gave a small elegant yawn and opened his eyes, turning the garnet orbs to his waiting wife.
“Arial” He said fondly with a smile “You'll never know how much seeing your face every time I wake means to me”
Arial couldn't help but smile, she could see the sincerity in his eyes, he truly meant what he said, every little word.
“You've been a saint to me, Lucien, despite how I got here, you have been so very good to me” Arial said with a warm smile.
“And I am sorry for how I have been the first few days of this week, I was so scared and confused, I thought that by merely letting you hold me, I was betraying all of my morals”
“It's alright” Lucien replied with a heart warming smile “I understood then as I do now”
Arial beamed with happiness at that reply and stepped back to allow Lucien to gracefully leap from his coffin, she was only too glad to move forward when he came towards her to pull her into an embrace.
She looked up into his snowy white face, gazing into his beautiful sparkling garnet red eyes, she smiled when he bent down slowly, giving her time to back away if she wanted to, and then lightly kissed her petal soft lips.
Arial sighed with joyful contentment, Lucien's lips felt even better than she ever anticipated, though she'd never tell Lucien that, the heavens know she'd blush like mad when he learned she'd actually thought about how his lips would feel upon hers.
Lucien pulled Arial in a little closer and with a signal of concent of her arms tightening around him, he deepened the kiss, bringing passion into it.
As the two parted, Lucien smiled handsomely, melting Arial's heart into a puddle of bright red desire and passion, if she wasn't already, she was certainly falling in love with Lucien, fangs, pale skin and all.
Arial... He wondered if she still hated him or if perhaps she had forgiven him for what was truly an act of disguised mercy, after all Lucien had told him to do whatever he had to without really harming her to get her to the mansion, and so he did.
Lucien had not been angry with him, but he told him to be patient in regards to Arial, a person in her past situation had a lot of to sort out before she was ready to be forgiving anyone for anything, he'd been told that in time Arial would understand what they had done for her and she would forgive them both, only in time Lucien had said.
Aiden got up from where he sat and walked in no haste to the window seat, gazing up at the lonely full moon hanging in the sky, he only hoped Arial forgave him at all, he couldn't help but think that perhaps all this lonely mansion needed was a woman about it's halls and rooms, a woman to bring life back into a home so very dead for so very long.
