Devour Me

Chapter VI - The Vamp Life

The Next Day

Nyx sat across from me, her jeweled acrylic nails tapped along the table as she looked at me. I couldn't deny, even with this scowl on her face she was beautiful as fuck. Licking over my lips I broke my gaze from her and placed it on the paper that was before me. It was a list of rules as well as expectations I had for her.

"You want me to stay here three days out of the week ?" She questioned flipping a page of the packet I had given her "And I can't drink heavily. I mean I don't but that messes up my plans to drink myself into oblivion"

"It changes the taste of yo blood. Makes it bitter" I informed her lounging back into my chair

"You're providing me with a biweekly allowance ?" She asked bringing her eyes up to me

Nyx eyebrows knitted together as if she was trying to decipher if there was an ulterior motive to me providing her with money. The purpose of me giving her an allowance was to make herself comfortable in my home. Since she will be living here for a year, she was able to make her room however she wanted. And once her time was up she could take all the items or do whatever with them. From what she said it wouldn't be my problem where the shit went. But I guess this is me extending the olive branch to her. 

"Yeah, so you can get whatever necessities you need for here. I could at least do that since you agreed to do this" I replied turning the packet to the last page

Giving me one last glance Nyx flipped to the last page of the packet. As she read over it she picked up the pen. Tapping it against the table I could hear her sigh heavily before signing it. A smile formed along my lips as I looked at the contact, once that ink hit the paper she officially became mine. She was now at my disposal and I couldn't wait to see why the fuck I was so intrigued by her.

"That's yo copy. Since this is your first day I would like you to stay here for the night. You can leave to get whatever you need. Just be back tonight" I said pushing back the chair

"I have a curfew ?" She questioned with a chuckle

"I mean if you would like one I can give yo ass one" I shot back with my own chuckle

Nyx rolled her eyes as she grabbed the contract from the table. Folding it in half she dropped it into her black Valentino bag. Stepping around the table she proceeded to walk to the hallway that led to the front door. Quick stepping I appeared in front of her. Nyx stumbled back kissing her teeth.

"I wish you would stop doing that. Kaliyah does that enough" She said folding her arms over her chest "what else Maxwell ?"

"No company without asking me. That goes for Kaliyah and Xuriella. If they ask why you're here tell them whatever but the truth" I said sternly looking down at her

"I didn't plan on telling them I agreed to be your blood bank Maxwell. Now excuse me, I have some packing to do" She said squeezing past me

Moments later the sound of my front door opening and closing filled my quiet home. I ran my hand over my head as I walked into my kitchen. It's been a while since I've lived with a woman. Kaliyah was the last woman I lived with and it wasn't that bad. That was until I would run into her one night stands leaving in the middle of the night. And I myself didn't have any special person in my life. Call me a cliche but I didn't do relationships. Not that I had commitment issues, I simply didn't want to be confined to just one person. I've done it before and it wasn't for me. Or maybe it was simpler than that the person I loved wasn't for me.
