My body shook as I stared at the wet stain on my bed sheets. The idea that someone broke in was bad enough but that he laid on my bed and came all over the sheets. I felt violated.
I was slightly aware of Dante moving around me but I was frozen in shock. Eventually, he moved me out of my place and into his car but I wasn't paying attention.
It was only when he sat me down on his bed and stroked my cheek that I became aware of where we were.
"It will be ok," he soothed.
"Why did …" I couldn't form the words.
"I don't know. I called Luca on the way here and he knows a few investigators. They will look into it," He sounded so confident which put me at ease a little.
"I need you to think clearly, have you had trouble with anyone? It could be something small or it could be a jealous ex."
I shook my head, because of my abilities, I avoided people on purpose. Dante was my first boyfriend, I was never attracted to anyone else, it makes sense being his soul and all.
"No, no one. You know I avoid people and there is no ex," I blushed at the omission.
"No ex?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "You weren't a virgin when we first …"
I blushed even harder as I nodded. The memory of that day in the design room frequently played in my wet dreams.
"But I … you should have told me. I wasn't gentle with you!"
Dante looked really upset and I couldn't understand why. I gripped his hands and pulled them to my face.
"I liked it! Dante, please don't be upset. Yes, I've never dated or had sex but I wouldn't change my first time for anything because it was with you."
Dante searched my eyes before sighing and giving me a smile.
"Come on, let's get showered and head to bed."
He guided me into the shower and joined me. Dante took such great care of me that I was able to fall asleep fairly quickly. Hours later, when I woke up I was alone in bed, I went in search of Dante. He was in his study with Luca and another man.
"Sorin? Why aren't you resting?"
Dante sounded so concerned as he stood and walked over to me. He took my hand and guided me to his desk chair, he sat and then pulled me onto his lap.
"I'm fine Dante," I insisted.
Dante stared at me hard for a minute before smiling and then turning back to Luca and the other man.
"How are you doing, Sorin?" Luca asked.
"I'm ok … I guess," I mumbled.
"This is Detective Rodgers, he's an old friend that knows about us."
I stared wide eyed at the detective and then at Luca and Dante.
"It's nice to meet you Sorin, these two saved my life a few years ago. That's why I know what they are," the detective explained.
I nodded, still a little confused. He seemed so calm and relaxed despite being a police officer in a room with two vampires.
"It's nice to meet you too," I smiled.
"We've gone over your apartment and talked with your landlord. There was CCTv at the front which shows a man sneaking in, his face is covered but your landlord swears it's not one of his tenants. We've also sent DNA off to the lab. Hopefully it will come back with something, so, try not to worry."
I nodded but knew I wouldn't be able to do anything but worry.
"Could it be from your family?" Luca asked.
"My family?" I stared at him then at Dante who seemed to be thinking hard.
"That could be possible. There are only a few reasons as to why a young witch would be left on their own. Either, their families have been killed or they've sent them away to either protect them or get rid of them."
I'm not sure I liked any of those ideas.
"I'll look into it," Detective Rodgers said as he wrote down the information. "Do you have any idea about your birth family?"
I shook my head and he nodded before leaving. Luca left not long after but I didn't move. All I could think about was the possibility it had been my birth family. Were they dead? or did they send me away to protect me? or worse yet, did they send me away because they didn't want me?
"I can see what you're thinking," Dante soothed as he kissed my cheek. "I don't know why your family left you but no matter the reason, you are not alone now. You have me, and Luca and your new friends in your team."
I smiled at him, he was right. No matter what happened in the past I had Dante now.
"I want you to stay here with me from now on," he told me. "And I don't just mean because of this incident. I've wanted you in my home the moment I pushed my cock inside your beautiful plump ass."
I moaned at the memory and he smirked. Dante gripped my cock through my sweats and I groaned.
"Dante!" Luca called from downstairs. "At least wait until you guys are alone in the house before you fuck your lover please!"
I blushed hard and pushed away from Dante. He must have known Luca was still here but why ….
"Go home then!" Dante called back.
I stared at him looking tens shades of red.
"Now that hurts, pushing away your only friend!"
I left then as Dante smirked wider, I headed downstairs where Luca was and avoided his eyes. Dante followed a few seconds after and I pouted and ignored him as I sat on the far edge of the sofa.
---
It has been a few weeks since that incident. The police haven't found anything yet which was annoying Dante. The guys at work were great, they were doing everything they could to distract me, though they didn't that was what they were doing.
Every night I would go to my new home and Dante would hold me as we made love or slept. I felt safe with him.
Today was the launch day of the 'Eternal Night' jewellery set. I was both excited and nervous as I stood on the side lines, as important and very rich people eyed my designs.
Dante must have seen me standing at the sides. I felt him pushing into my mind.
''Relax baby, everything is going great!'
I glared at him but he smiled and turned back to his guests. He was right of course, everyone seemed to be smiling and gushing over my work.
"Hello."
I jumped at the deep voice. An older man stood behind me, but he looked … off. His suit looked expensive but it looked like it was too big for him. His hair was long and dark brown with a little grey mixed in.
Instinctively, I took a step back but then caught myself. My senses were going off, this man in front of me was bad news.
'Dante!' I called out in my mind.
"Are you the designer of these beautiful pieces? My name is Salazar Valtieri, it's an honour to meet you."
He held out his hand but I didn't take it. If he was offended he didn't show it.
"Your designs are truely beautiful, I would like to purchase one for my partner's family."
"Why not your own family?" I asked.
'Dante, please! I need you to come now!'
"Oh, I don't have any family on my side but my partner's family are like my own or they will be once we are joined."
Joined? That was a strange word to use. I really needed Dante to come right now. I tried to look around without being obvious but I must not have been very good.
"Are you looking for your lover?" he asked with a smirk.
