CHAPTER EIGHT & NINE: THE BALL 1
Long after Alucard left my room I could still feel the heat on my lips and the warmth of his hands on my cheek, though I have never known a man, that doesn’t mean am totally ignorant in the ways of men and women but I have never dream of such pleasure was part of it.
The women in the village whispered with putting up with a man base of nature, enduring the hardship of marriage bed, they have never mention the wonder of it, the fluttery feeling in one’s stomach.
Earlier, he had listen to her play, dismissing her mistakes with a smile, normally I could have played it without hesitation but his gaze affected her, couldn’t stop her hands from trembling.
In my room I remove my shoes and stockings, drop my gown over the back of a chair and slip into bed.
That night I dream of him, dream he was here in my room, sitting beside me on bed, he bent his head towards my direction, in the uncertain light of my room, his eyes seem to glow, i felt his hands grip my shoulder, felt his lips at my throat, felt the familiar pleasure.
His teeth graze over the skin of my neck, sensual pleasure mingled with pain, I Mõ@n softly as his hand tighten on my arm and then his voice whispering to my ears.
” only a dream sweet snow ” he murmur, his voice hypnotizing me with its power ” only a dream ”
My eyelids fluttered down but not before I saw him rise to his feet like a dark mist, I blink once and he was gone, like he was never here.

The next day came quicker but the evening seem to be taking forever ” what do you think Leo ” I asked while eating lunch ” how do Lord Alucard act in public ”
” the usual way milady ”
” what’s the usual way Leo ” focusing my gaze on him seem to have set him on the edge, what I have known about Leo is that, he is pretty loyal to Alucard even if I hardly see them talk, Leo talk less and does almost all the work, isn’t that too hard for him.
” just how he acts with you milady ”
” is he a lady man?”
” my lord is a handsome man, I hope you don’t get surprise when you see how many women keep asking his hand for marriage or a one night with him ”
” I see ”
” was that helpful my lady?”
” one more question Leo ” I turn to face him properly ” why is the east tower out of my reach ”
” I can’t say my lady ”
” why not?”
” snow ” its the first time he call my name ” I h@të it when people force words out of my lips, it displeases me ” he suddenly smile ” milady ”
” you’re a scary man Leo ”
” I try not to scare people my lady ” he is back to his usual self, I guess they is many this things I still don’t know about Leo.
The truth is I know nothing about him or Alucard, they are good at hiding things ” Alright ” I stand to my feet ” I will go to my room and prepare for the ball now ”
” let me set the bath for you”
” don’t worry Leo, I can do it ”
” I insist” and with that he move upstairs to my room, standing I exhale, I do not like the idea that Alucard is a ladies man, how many women wants what I want?
” my lady ” Leo calls ” your bath is ready ”
Nodding my head I run upstairs to my bedroom, give Leo my thanks then head into the bathroom for a slow and steady bath to quicken the time, Alucard is usually out only evening, by that time I want to be ready for the ball.
Stepping out the bathroom I rob my body lotion, put on my matching underwear, my blue dress, pin my hair, apply a lip gloss then stand to my feet while looking at the mirror ” will he like it”
Moving out of the east tower, I struggle with my buttons, being late is not what I specialized on, I hope snow is ready to go or I might just go without her.
Before I could step into the north castle she step out, I stop right on my step, the blue dress matches her eyes colour, skin glittering in happiness, cleavage on display, she smile widely and move closer to my direction ” my lord ” she frown a bit ” your buttons aren’t properly fixed, let me help you ” I said nothing, just watch her button it up with full attention.
My gaze move behind her to meet a confused looking Leo and Bevin, okay maybe snow is the first that I have let to touch and talk to me as she wish but they shouldn’t judge me ” there you go ” she look up to me ” how do I look my lord ”
” ravishing sweet snow ” I smile at her ” am scared someone might steal you from me tonight ”
” that’s just preposterous”
” I mean it sweet snow, come let’s go ” holding her hands i take her to the carriage, help her get into it before stepping in ” to the ball martin ” I mutter to the coachman before the carriage start moving.
” my lord”
” hmm” I relax on the couch, closing my eyes, trying my possible best not to stare at her cleavage which is on display right now, isn’t they any other dress that cover her Brë@št?
” don’t you think Leo need help in chores ”
I don’t think so but to keep the talking short I agree ” yes he does ”
” so why isn’t he getting any ”
” he doesn’t want more ”
” but….”
Cutting her off I purred ” he doesn’t want it ”
” okay ” she reply then say nothing else, opening my eyes slowly I watch her, toying with her dress, biting her lips, it seem like she is trying to ask something that will make her flush ” my lord?”
” hmmm” her gaze remain on her dress while she talked.
” Leo said you’re a lady man, that girls flock around you ” she exhale then look at me ” does that mean you have had intercourse before ”
” yes sweet snow ” I smile, liking where the conversation is going ” but I like to call it sëx, where a man embraces a woman naked ” her face heat up at that, she always look that way but then keep asking such questions.
” well….” She look at me ” will you like to embrace me on your bed na.. na..” She stammer on the last sentence ” naked” it seem like she use her whole courage to ask me that.
Her gaze remain on me, waiting for my reply, which I know she doesn’t really need ” sweet snow ” leaning close I touch her cheek slowly, her gaze didn’t waver from mine ” you surely are a surprising creature ”
” oh, but am serious my lord”
” I know that sweet snow ” kissing her forehead I murmur ” I will love to do what you said but I can’t and please don’t ask why ”
” my lord?”
” don’t think much of it sweet snow ” withdrawing I mutter ” like I have always said, you won’t like what will happen if I invite you to my bed ”
” you can tell me my lord ”
” I wish not to ruin the evening for you sweet snow ” watching how she nod her head understanding I smile ” tonight I plan on showing you around in the montory castle”
” the montory?”
I nod at her surprise question, the montory castle is known to be the biggest, most beautiful, fill with different beautiful gardens and dark corners you can use to fulfil Lewd fantasy ” I might just decide to take you to one of the dark corners ”
She look confused ” dark corners?”
” of course sweet snow ”
She lean close, looking interested ” what happens in the dark corner my lord”
” a place where a man and woman goes to, the man show her the stars, dance with her where only his eyes can see those sparkle in her eyes ” I smile as her cheek heat up ” pull her close and kiss her ”
” do you plan to do that to me my lord ”
” definitely sweet snow ”
She smile ” then I look forward to it my lord ”
The moment I step into the ball room with Lord Alucard rumors begin.
” its Alucard ”
” haven’t seen him here in years ”
” a new mistress”
” one so young ”
” she’s so lovely ”
” odd, he never change”
I was certain my cheek heat up from all the complement” pay them no mind snow ” Alucard said while taking a glass of wine from the Walter.
” they are talking about us ”
” let them, did I tell you how beautiful you look in this gown?” I nod, suddenly feeling overwhelmed and flushed, of course I should be use to such attention but like the saying, no body can get use to hell.
One of the most popular lords drew close to us, where the chandelier shines bright ” lord Alucard, still surprise to see you here ” lord Beelzebub remark ” am sure lady snow here forced you ”
” I” I shook my head ” it was Lord Alucard idea not mine ” a smile light my lips ” it is wonderful isn’t it ”
Beelzebub nod ” you’re enjoying it then ”
” oh yes, its a wonderful ball, I have never seen one so beautiful and fun before ” I smile ” I suppose you are good in arranging a ball milord ”
” enough ” the word spoken softly but I know perfectly well that lord Alucard displease what’s happening, with a lazy bow Beelzebub smile saying his farewell.
” should I expect you in the auction later lord Alucard ”
” definitely ”
Beelzebub looked at Alucard with a smirk ” see you there lord Alucard” he lift my hand and place a kiss ” good night snow white ” and with that he is gone.
I han myself with my hands not daring to meet lord Alucard gaze, I have not misses the hint of anger in his voice earlier, though the reason for it eluded me.
As if the gods has mercy on me, they sent ladies after ladies which Alucard keep trying to send away, somehow making him forget the anger he has for me ” lady Margery ” he growl, not looking happy to see her but she on the other hand loon very happy.
Her long curly black hair with grey eyes, freckles on her face, she sure is beautiful ” my lord, will you like a dance with me?”
” I will have to pass that milady”
” are you are ” those sparkling eyes dull down ” I was hoping to have just one dance ”
” am sad for disappointing you milady but you see, I have promise this lady over here a tour ”
” that’s fine ” lady Margery nod after sending glares my way ” lord montory wishes to see you soon, concerning the matter at hand ”
” tell him I will be there soon” he turn his attention to me ” upstairs snow ” nodding my head I follow him upstairs, with each step I take, the music and the view of the ball is vanishing.
Silence follow us, I glance back once in awhile to see Alucard staring at me ” Beelzebub find you quite attractive ” arriving in the dark hallway I stop and look at him, surprise by his blunt remark.
” my lord?”
” don’t play coy with me girl, I saw the way he look at you, the way you look at him ”
” I don’t know what you mean”
” don’t you” he hold my hand and pull me into one of the rooms, it has a glass roof where you can stare at the stars, a huge room with waterfalls and has its own soft music.
I met his gaze, confused by the carefully banked anger in his eyes, by the hard edge jealousy in his voice ” if you have any plans on meeting him on the sly, put them out of your mind ”
” my lord, you misjudge me!” I exclaim, shocked that he could think such a thing ” I have no interest in that man ”
” No?”
” No.”
” forgive me sweet snow ” he murmur running his hands through his hair.
” please don’t be angry with me milord ”
Alucard blow out a breath before reaching for my hand, pulling me close ” I can never be angry at you snow, I suppose one can hardly blame any man for being attached to you ” he kiss the back of my hand, again and again.
” my lord?”
” stare at the stars sweet snow” doing as he said I smile ” do you like the view ?”
” yes my lord, very much ”
” dance with me ” turning to face him, he lift my hand, place it on his shoulder, place his on my waist and then we dance to the soft music, he pull me closer, my hands lowers to his chest, our gaze burn into each other and before I know what’s happening he kiss me, his teeth grazing my lips, his tongue exploring the soft inner flesh of my mouth until I was breathless and slight dizzy from the emotions swirling inside me.
Hardly aware of what am doing I lean close, a soft Mõ@n arising from my throat as my Brë@št were crushed against his chest.
” snow, ah, snow ” he groan softly ” do you know what you are doing to me ” his hands move to cup my arse ” how can you have such effects on me, am losing it ” he trail kisses all over me, lips, cheeks, nose, back to my lips.
And then suddenly with a deep growl he withdraw, dazed I blink at him then lean forward, wanting him to kiss me again, to continue the strange magic his touch wrought upon her senses.
” Don’t ” the tone of his voice had the effect of a slap.
With a muffled cry I step back, my heart pounding wildly, not from desire but trepidation, what have i done, why was he looking at me like that, his eyes burning but yet cold.
