Julie felt Roman tug her hand towards him, and she readily moved closer towards him. Roman gently picked her hand and brought it up to his mouth, and he placed a tender kiss on her wrist. A shiver ran down her nerves, feeling the familiar hurricane starting to build in her stomach. And even though it was a familiar feeling, it had been a while since they had spent their time like this, all alone in each other's heated gaze.

Roman's fingers intertwined with her fingers, pressing them while using his other hand to curl around her waist, bringing her close to him. He asked her in a husky whisper,

"Why are you the way you are," it wasn't a question.

No matter how many sweet words Roman had uttered to her in the past, even after the amount of time they had spent with each other, his words still had the ability to have her toes curl. She placed one of her hands on his chest, feeling the broadness of his chest. When he let go of her other hand, she placed it on his strong shoulder.

Her fingers traced around the space of his chest before it moved to curl and circle his neck. She played with the short ends of his black hair near the nape of his neck while his arms brought her waist closer to him.

Julie and Roman stared into each other's eyes, getting lost in the colour of each other's iris. She moved her head closer to him, her lips hovering in front of him. With just a breath away from each other, Julie felt Roman's hand run across the length of her back, leaving a shiver down her spine.

When their lips touched each other, Roman's hold on Julie tightened, and he devoured her lips as if it was the last time he was going to taste and consume it. Julie was easily lost by the taste of Roman, where his teeth captured and nipped her lips. With the amount of closeness they shared, Julie offered the same emotions, taking a bite much stronger than he had expected, and he hissed.

His red eyes looked alive, watching every movement of hers and his ears tuned to her heartbeat as if it was his favourite music.

Julie felt Roman's lips glide down the column of her neck, leaving her breathless. Her hand tugged onto the back of his hair, pulling it when he took a bite on her neck, tasting her blood and lapping any remaining essence on her skin with the help of his coarse tongue.

Roman walked forward, guiding Julie to walk backwards and towards the bed. They both fell on the bed with Roman on top of her. With him sitting upright, he watched her uneven breath, and her chest heaved.

Julie watched Roman with a starstruck expression on her face. Roman was handsome to Julie, and he was nothing less to a dark prince who had come to get her. She noticed the way his handsome face shone under the dim light of the table lamp of her dorm.

Roman placed one of his hands on his back and, with ease, pulled his shirt off his body, showing his taut muscles. He threw it on the floor before hovering in front of her.

"Your heart is beating faster than usual," Roman pointed it out to her, and Julie softly smiled.

"It has been a while..." her voice trailed into a whisper with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

One corner of Roman's lips pulled up while his eyes were fixed on her. He said to her, "It is good to know that I can still raise goosebumps on your soft skin, hear your heart thump in such speed like a bird that is singing as fast as it can... so sweetly."

Julie placed her hand on his chest, where his heart laid beneath that didn't beat like hers. She stared at it for a second before moving up her gaze to look at him and asked, "You threw up blood today because of Griffin."

"It was nothing that I couldn't handle," Roman assured her, placing his hand on her cheek and caressing it. "Griffin's ability isn't enough to kill me. His ability is not applicable because of the dark stone that lies in my heart."

Julie nodded, glad to hear that Roman was fine. She raised both her hands as if wanting a hug from him, and Roman pulled her up in his arms, quietly hugging her. There was no need to rush things as they had all the time they needed. He pet the back of her head with his hand.

"He has a very strange ability," murmured Julie and Roman hummed.

"He derives the ability from Luciano. The manipulation of a shadow to a person's blood," replied Roman. He then asked her, "Did they do anything to you?"

Julie shook her head, "Cillian came before Griffin could do anything."

But feeling her pause as if she wanted to say something more, Roman asked her, "Something you missed?" He pulled away from her, taking a look at her.

Julie pursed her lips, staring back at him and she then said, "I am not sure about this... but when Cillian appeared to help Caleb and me, Cillian had caught Griffin's hand and there was a gunshot. The gun was in Griffin's hand, he was behind me…"

On hearing her words, Roman's eyes turned dark and rage started to fill in his eyes. He should have known that Griffin would try to pull his dirty tricks against him or Julie, just to feel superior.

"Rome?" Julie called his name, leaning forward, she pressed her lips on Roman's lips. This seemed to calm him a little, but that didn't remove the thought that had been put in his mind right now. She pulled away an inch from him, and said, "Nothing bad happened to me."

Roman ran his fingers across the side of her face. He continued to run it down her neck, feeling her heartbeat louder under his touch. He leaned back to close the distance between them and said, "It is good that nothing happened to you. I would have made sure he saw hell." Not that he Griffin wouldn't see something close to it, thought Roman in his mind.

Julie smiled at Roman's words.

Roman unzipped Julie's dress and helped her out of it, letting the dress join his shirt on the cold floor. Soon he discarded the rest of her clothing. She placed her hands on his shoulders, placing butterfly kisses on his jaw. Leaving a sweet pleasure that only increased the passion that now ran in Roman's veins for her. Her lips kissed the column of his neck and his chest.

But before she could move further down in kissing him more, Roman quickly pushed her back on the bed, with her hands pressed over her head, on the surface of the bed. He held her wrists with just one hand, and Julie's heart skipped a beat.

Julie didn't need his words to know that Roman worshiped her because his eyes and his touch alone spoke volumes to her. He placed his hand on her neck, his thumb brushing across her tender neck where he had bit her.

"Is it painful?" he asked her, a slight concern coming to appear in his red eyes. Since he had started to take blood from Julie, he had tried to be as careful and gentle as possible, not wanting it to be painful for her.

"No," replied Julie. "It has never been painful..."

A hum erupted from Roman's chest, almost vibrating. His fingers glided from her neck between the valley of her breasts, where her tips had hardened over her arousal. A gasp escaped from Julie's lips when he brushed his hand over the curve of one of her breasts. He flicked his finger on her tip, and she took a sharp breath over the electric shock that moved from the tip to the wetness that had formed between her legs.

Roman used the back of his fingers to brush her skin, and her body responded, and her body moved up and down as Julie responded to every brush and stroke his fingers drew on her delicate skin. His hold on both of her wrists loosened, and Julie continued to keep her arms that way, noticing the way his eyes watched every expression that passed on her face.

"Ah!" Julie moaned when Roman's finger pushed right into her entrance, stretching and filling her.

He slowly thrusted his finger in and out, preparing her. And when she was ready, he pulled out something from below the bed where his trouser was, and Julie heard the sound of something tearing. After a few seconds, he spread her legs wide, placing his own hardened member to rub against her wet sex.

Julie's body arched, feeling the sensation building on every tip of her nerves. Her heart and mind didn't need further preparation, as if it had been aroused and teased enough. Her body craved for more, wanting him. Roman leaned forward, peppering kisses on her neck before leaving wet kisses as he continued to tease her.

"Rome..." Julie moaned his name, and when he heard his name spilt out from her lips, it was enough for his manhood to harden even more.

"I am here," he responded to her, his words reverberating on her skin and watching her writhe in pleasure.

When she felt Roman positioning himself in front of her entrance, Julie loosely wrapped her legs around his waist. With one single thrust, he entered her. Filling every inch of her, and her back arched from the bed, her hands that had come to lie next to her body twisted the sheets beneath her.

Each thrust was more powerful than the previous one, and Julie's legs tightened around him. Watching Roman in the throes of the lovemaking had its own kicks, and Julie basked in it. His eyes were half-closed, and his lips parted, where if it was cold, one could see the steam pass through his lips. His hands supported her, and she saw his muscles move sexily.

When Roman noticed her keenly watching him, something passed through his eyes and before Julie knew it, the movements of his hips had gained more momentum. Unable to hold on to the intense pleasure, Julie threw her head back and moaned his name until she felt she was being pushed to the edge of the cliff... and she then soared.

Her eyes had turned dazed, and soon she felt Roman's release, his hands gripped on her waist and bottom before it loosened.

Both of their breaths had turned harsh, and Roman pulled himself out of her before falling next to her. He hooked his arm around Julie's waist to bring her close to him, where she was still dazed by the arousal and pleasure she had felt.

Roman kissed Julie's neck, and she hummed with a smile that spread on her lips.. It felt as if the love that she had been secretly denied to her had come in the form of a vampire who didn't have a heart but had a soul that completed her.
