Bride To His Darkness

Samantha couldn’t explain exactly what she had gotten herself into that night with Lord Ivan. She had come to the conclusion that she was the one responsible for her own predicament, because not only was she denied the right to fall asleep, she had to stay awake until the heavens above touch her Lordship’s ignorant soul and he falls asleep, somehow, cause that was the only option he had given her.

She was only being a do-gooder, it was part of her duty, but unfortunately, her good deed has trapped her in this awakening torture with Lord Ivan. Whenever she showed the slightest chance of falling asleep through their conversation, the vampire Lord would heartlessly blow hot air to his fingers and flick her forehead with it, jolting her awake.

’Patience Sam.’ she inwardly consoled herself, ’you won’t have to tolerate his attitude or demands for much longer. Just.... Smile through the pain.’

"Little Lamb, where do you think you’re drifting off to? You’re not allowed to do that as long as I’m awake, it’s part of the rules." He playfully taunted with a not-smiling face, finding pure satisfaction with how she struggled to keep her sleepy green eyes open.

"But... My Lord, since when did this become part of the rules?" She innocently asked, whilst shaking her head from time to time to drive off the sleepiness that lingered heavily on her eyelids, but no matter how hard she tried to fight it off, it came back with ten times the force.

"Since I remembered it." Ivan nonchalantly retorted, leaning against the headboard and resting his head on it. "It’s one of the ancient Vampire rules of hospitality. It’s only fitting that my servant stays awake when I’m up. Keeps the silence at bay."

"So what do you do when you’re up?" Samantha, who tried to reason in the same direction as him, asked, and he responded vaguely, pushing his hair away from his face.

"Whatever I please to do, the night offers a myriad of possibilities."

"Then what type of dreams do you normally have each time you fall asleep?" Since she had to stay awake with him, Samantha wouldn’t want to dwell in the silence they shared and chose to start a conversation with him instead.
