chapter 31
“We need to head to bed soon, I have work in the morning,” Tobias states. I yawn suddenly feeling
tired, it must be late. I go to say something but then stop not wanting a repeat of earlier. I follow them
into the room and climb into bed. Tobias takes his shirt off and climbs in next to me. Theo turns a small
lamp on and grabs a book before lying beside me. My eyebrows furrow confused. “You’re not tired?” I
ask.
“Vampires don’t sleep, Imogen”
“But I saw you sleep” I ask confused.
“No, we don’t sleep, but we do get stuck in a trance which resembles sleep,” he tells me. Tobias
yawns next to me and pulls me against him.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s kind like being stuck in your own thoughts, becoming trapped in a way. You don’t realise
time passing,” he says.
I would hate to be stuck in my own mind; it’s my biggest critic, I couldn’t imagine being trapped in
it. “How long does it last?” Theo seems to think for a second before answering.
“My longest would be a month before Tobias pulled me out of it.”
“A month?” How lonely I thought. I reached out and draped my arm across his lap. It didn’t take
long before I fell asleep.
I was awoken in what must have been only a few hours by Theo suddenly climbing back into bed
with yet another book. I yawn and wriggle out of Tobias’s grip. Moving closer to Theo, I put my head on
his lap, his hand playing with my hair. “What are reading?” I mumble fighting the urge to yawn again.
“Nothing important, you should go back to sleep.” I shake my head, I always struggled to go back
to sleep after waking, and if I did manage to actually go back to sleep, I would feel ten times worse
when I got up again.
Instead, I get up and walk over to my phone. I pick it up and the screen lights up revealing that it’s
430 am. I place the phone back down and walk into the bathroom. I quickly pee before stripping the
shirt off and turning the shower on and hopping in. I wet my hair letting the water wake me up
completely. Grabbing the soap, I start washing myself, and Theo walks in. Dropping his shorts before
opening the door, I move over to allow him to enter. Theo turns the other shower head on and faces
me, watching as I wash myself. I turn my back on him feeling self-conscious under his gaze.
Turning around he was still staring. “Stop staring, pervert.” He smirks.
“I can look, you belong to me.” My heart skips a beat and Theo moves closer, placing his hand on
my hip and pulling me flush against him. I let him and continue to wash the shampoo out of my hair, his
fingers moving up my side, stopping at the side of my breast. His thumb rubs over my nipple, making it
harden. I rinse the shampoo out and open my eyes. As soon as I do, Theo kisses me. He sucks my
bottom lip into his mouth. My body being shoved into the shower wall. His tongue playing with mine,
searching and tasting every inch of my mouth. He pulls back, letting me catch my breath, only to lift me
up his hands on my ass, my arms grabbing his neck to stop from falling. Theo pushes me entirely into
the wall, and I can feel his erection resting on the inside of my thigh. Theo’s hand reaches into my hair,
pulling my head to the side, his fangs grazing my neck as he hungrily kisses and nibbles on my skin. I
freeze when I feel his fangs break my skin slightly. I hiss at the pain, and Tobias walks in.
“You know how hard it is to sleep when I can hear you two fooling around in here?”
Both Theo and I stop. Theo kisses my lips, a sly smile on his face at us being caught. Tobias steps
in the shower. “Well don’t stop on my account.” I feel Theo chuckle and shrug before his lips move back
to mine. Tobias washes himself while Theo continues his assault on my neck before moving lower to
suck my nipple into his mouth. I throw my head back forgetting the tiled wall behind me. My skull
making a loud thud as it connects with the wall.
“See karma for fooling around without me,” Tobias says rubbing the spot I just smacked into the
wall. Theo places my feet back on the ground, and I step between the pair of them before opening the
door. “Where you going?”
“To get dressed,” I tell them grabbing a towel.
“What about this?” Theo laughs and pointing to his huge erection. I look down, it does look
tempting, but If I can’t leave, they will have to fuck each other. I smile at my new idea.
“Tobias will have to help you with that,” I retort, smirking and wrapping my towel around me and
walking out. I hear Theo curse and call Tobias a cockblocker. I chuckle to myself, amused. Before
finding my blouse from the first day here, I lay it on the bed. Going into the walk-in robe, I manage to
find some track pants and a shirt.
Tobias and Theo walk out towels wrapped around their waists. “What are you doing?” Tobias asks
when he sees I’m dressed, not in my clothes but still covered and not just wearing my usual shirt and
socks combination.
“Going to work, but first I need to go home to get clothes,” I state.
I hear him growl behind me but ignore him. “I have told you, Imogen, you won’t be leaving here.”
“I am so sick of hearing you dictate my life, Tobias. Either I can go to work with you or neither of
you will be getting laid unless you fuck each other,” I say, folding my arms across chest defiantly. I raise
an eyebrow at him. “So, what is it?” Tobias chuckles and shakes his head.
“Fine, I will play your little game, Imogen. It won’t work. You will be begging for us to take you,”
Tobias says. I pout and Theo chuckles.
“Is it because Theo hasn’t marked me?” I ask, turning to Tobias.
“Yes, among other reasons that is the main one though.” This is ridiculous.
“I am not leaving you, Tobias; I won’t take off I promise.”
“You’re right, you won’t take off because you’re not leaving this property.” I look to Theo for help
but he doesn’t seem to want to go against Tobias this time. I storm out of the room.
I make my way down to the kitchen and put the kettle on, making coffee. I then take my coffee and
sit outside on the wooden bench seat. Tobias walks out, my handbag in his hands. He drops it on my
lap.
“I have your keys; you just want your clothes?”
I Ignore him looking in the other direction. “Imogen, what do you want from your apartment?”
“Fuck you, Tobias,” I tell him. He pinches the bridge of his nose and lets out a breath annoyed.
Theo walks out, and I ignore him too.
“I will send you a list of what she wants later, okay,” he says kissing Tobias on the cheek. I get up
and walk inside, I hear Tobias speed off. I walk up the stairs and back to my prison. I lock the door and
lay back in bed.
Ten Days later
I have been stuck here for ten days. I haven’t spoken to either of them; I barely come out of the
room. The first few days they tried without luck, in every way possible, to get me to talk or react to
them. I know it is starting to get to them. Tobias has been a moody arsehole. He left three days ago
and has been staying in the city, said my silence was driving him crazy. This house was driving me
crazy, so I guess he knows how it feels now. Theo on the other hand is always hovering. I feel his
presence everywhere I go, always watching. Always trying to get me to speak to him.
I was lying in bed when he walks in, “Breakfast, Imogen,” He sings out from the doorway. I ignore
him and roll over turning my back on the door.
“It’s been two days and you haven’t left this room, Imogen. If you don’t eat today, I will be forced to
tell Tobias you haven’t eaten.”
PFFT two days is that all it’s been. I was starving but I knew I could last a lot longer. I refuse to NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
give in. Either I get to go back to my normal predictable life, or I am not talking or eating, although it
does smell nice. When he doesn’t leave, I sit up and walk to the bathroom and hop in the shower. This
place was a mansion, but it was starting to make me feel claustrophobic. Despite its size and how
beautiful the place was, it was still my prison. I have walked the property and the house so much I am
surprised I haven’t actually walked tracks around the place. I thought about running but Theo is always
right behind me wherever I go. The first day, I tried to convince him to just take me home, but he
wouldn’t go against Tobias. This place with its no neighbours, no passing cars, no people was lonely. I
like the hustle and bustle of the city, but mainly I like the people. Watching as they go about their lives. I
missed seeing Tom but mostly now that, I haven’t spoken in over a week, I have been left to my own
thoughts, and my mind always drifts to the one person I loved most in life. My mother. My life suddenly
felt lonely and small without her in it and having no one to vent my problems to.
Getting out of the shower, I opened the door and Theo was leaning against it. I rolled my eyes and
shoved past him. “Tobias is on his way home.” I freeze. I liked that he hasn’t been here. I struggle the
most around him. He is so hot headed and so am I. It always turns into screaming match, or in my case
at the moment, me just glaring at him. I chuck my clothes on just in time to hear him pull up. Theo
leaves to see him, I quickly walk over and lock the door, hoping he won’t want to break it, the same as
Theo and leave me alone. No such luck, I hear him walk up the stairs, his feet moving quick. He
doesn’t even knock, just kicks the door in.
