Enslaved By The Ruthless Vampire Lord: Her Second Chance Mate

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Naya stilled, unable to believe what had just happened.

Did she just give her first kiss to a rude and impudent man?

How dare he? She knew he had done it intentionally, she did not fail to notice the way he pulled her back when she was just about to pull away.

He f*cking took her first kiss and that was a big deal to her?

Naya couldn’t believe that Rhys had taken her first kiss in such a way. She felt so many emotions all at once – anger, irritation, and even a little bit of attraction.

She came out to have a walk and now that?

Naya looked at Rhys, unsure of what to say. On the one hand, she was furious with him for taking her first kiss without her consent. But on the other hand, there was something about him that was so alluring, so magnetic. She couldn’t deny that there was an attraction there, even if she didn’t want to admit it.

“You.. yo… u…” Naya stammered with an angry look on her face.

Rhys smirked, a cocky grin spreading across his face.

“I’m not sorry,” he said, his voice filled with smug satisfaction. “I don’t regret anything that just happened. In fact, I think we should do it again.”

Naya’s eyes widened, and she felt her heart skip a beat. “What?” she asked, her voice a little breathless.

“You can’t be serious!!”

“But I am,” Rhys said, his voice low and seductive. “I think we have some unfinished business, a quick peck is nothing, we should try something more intriguing, what do you think?” His lips curved up.

Naya’s heart was pounding in her chest, and she could feel her cheeks flushing. She had never been in a situation like this before, and she didn’t know how to react. Part of her wanted to hit him so hard and then to get as far from Rhys as possible. But another part of her, a small but insistent part, was curious to see where this might lead.

But the angry side of her won.

“Over your dead body will I ever kiss those lips of yours!!” She snapped coldly at him.

Rhys’s cocky grin quickly widened as he said.

“Are you sure about that? You must be intrigued and eager for more.” He grinned.

“Intrigued?” Naya repeated, her eyes narrowing. “You’re delusional if you think I’m interested in anything you have to offer. I’m not some plaything for you to use and discard.”

” Seriously Naya… ” He smacked his lips, still holding that proud and nonchalant look on his face.

” But you’re still on top of me, you clearly can’t get enough, I know you’re yearning to touch me, not through the fabric but skin to skin… ” he drew out the last words and Naya immediately jumped off his body and she sat on the ground.

Her cheeks reddened from anger.

She hated his guts, a lot.

Naya could confess that he was handsome and hot because of how hard his chest felt mad his lips…. …. oh god!! They felt so good even for the short period of time, she had kissed him.

Naya could feel her face burning with embarrassment. She couldn’t believe that Rhys had actually said those things to her, and she was mortified that he might have noticed her reaction.

“In your dreams..” she uttered standing up from the ground, Rhys doing the same.

“What are you doing outside by this time of the night?” Rhys asked, following behind Naya who was walking to her room.

He actually noticed someone’s presence when he was taking a night stroll.

He decided to check it out and saw that it was Naya.

Naya hesitated for a moment before answering. “I couldn’t sleep,” she replied finally.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“I had a bad dream, and I thought a walk might help. But I guess it didn’t, because you actually added to my horror!!” She howerled at him.

“Seriously Naya. You should thank me for saving you from falling.. ” he pointed out and Naya scoffed immediately after.

” I wouldn’t have fallen if you hadn’t sneaked up on me and scared the living hell out of me.. ” she accused rolling her eyes. He should be apologizing.

“Hey, I was just trying to be friendly,” Rhys protested, holding up his hands in a gesture of innocence. “You’re the one who ran away from me like I was some kind of monster, you should have stood still..” Rhys raised a brow at her.

“Because you kind of are!” Naya shot back, unable to help herself.

“You’re a vampire, for crying out loud! I mean, how am I supposed to react when I see you lurking around in the shadows like some kind of stalker? And then you just sneak up on me.. ” she pointed out.

” It was fun to see your reaction and no worries I’ll never let any harm come to you.. ” he winked playfully at her as Naya made a disgusting face.

Rhys found her very very interesting and could not stop himself from wanting to pull her legs, he loved her facial reactions, she was the only woman he found funny.

“I see you’ve lost it, Kai!!” Naya said to him, increasing her pace.

Rhys just chuckled, unperturbed by her reaction. He quickened his pace to keep up with her, a grin on his face. “Don’t be like that,” he said, his voice teasing. “I’m just messing with you. You’re too easy to rile up, you know.”

Naya huffed, but she couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit amused by his antics. He was incorrigible, but there was something about him that made her want to smile, even when she was annoyed with him.

“Whatever..” she mumbled.

“By the way, why would you be out here alone? You should know it’s unsafe… ” he pointed out as Naya paused, turning to look at him.

” I just told you that I couldn’t sleep.. ” she reminded him, in case he forgot that.

” Why? Bad dreams? You can always come to my arms each night you can’t sleep. You’re always welcome baby..” he winked at her and Naya couldn’t help but groan in frustration. He always tended to be unserious.

“To hell with your arms and yes it was because of a bad dream..” She confirmed, saying the last words softly.

Rhys noticed her change in tone, and he could tell that the dream had been particularly bad. He sobered up, all joking aside. “Do you want to talk about it?” he asked, his voice gentle. “Sometimes it helps to share our fears and worries with someone else.”

Naya bit her lip, considering his offer. “I don’t know if I can,” she admitted. “It’s kind of personal.” She wasn’t sure she wanted to share the details of her dream, even with Rhys. It was too raw, too painful and Rhys was unserious.

“You can share anything with me babe..” he smirked, holding her wrist as he stopped her from going further.

This was the exact thing Naya was talking about, too unserious.

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about,” Naya said, pulling her wrist out of his grasp.

“You’re always flirting, even when I’m trying to be serious. You never take anything seriously.” She sighed, frustrated by his inability to have a serious conversation. “I just want to be able to talk to you without you being unserious.. ”

“I see..” Rhys mumbled as he shook his head slowly.

“So Naya, what’s giving you sleepless nights?” He questioned with a very serious expression on his face and Naya immediately wanted to burst out laughing.

“Nothing much..” she sighed as she continued walking.

“Just some old and painful memories resurfacing back..” she added.

Rhys stayed silent for a moment, sensing that she didn’t want to share any more than that.

“I’m sorry to hear that,” he said finally. “I know it’s not easy to deal with those kinds of memories. But I’m here if you ever want to talk about it.”

Naya stopped walking and turned to face him. “Thank you,” she said, surprised by his sincerity.

Silence reigned for a few seconds as they quietly walked together when Naya suddenly exclaimed.

” Damn!! ” She held her mouth immediately after, as she was kind of loud. It was night time and only headlamps lit the hallways.

“What?” Rhys asked with furrowed brows.

“I can’t believe you just said that..” Naya confessed as she laughed. Rhys was so cocky, unserious, and rude.

She definitely didn’t expect that from him.

“I can do a lot of things babe..” Rhys’s lips pulled up as Naya pushed him away playfully.

“Get lost..” she chuckled as that finally arrived at her door.

“You should get going. It’s late and you don’t want to get caught loitering around. You can lose your job here..” Naya whispered in a low voice, so as not to wake her sister up.

“So you care about me?” Rhys smirked.

“No, I don’t!” She snapped.

“I have humanity and would feel bad if you lose your job or get punished..”

“So good night Kai.” she waved at him and Rhys said nothing but smiled as she just spoke.

“Thanks for walking me here..” Naya appreciated, placing her hand on the door knob.

“Anything for you babe..” Rhys blew a kiss at Naya who glared at him almost immediately.

“Good night and think about me to ward off the bad dreams..” he winked at her as she turned to leave, disappearing into the darkness.

Naya found herself smiling with red cheeks as she quickly snapped out of it before going into the room.
