Is his heart racing too? That would be new. Eve has really caught it. hmm!

Convince her enough to leave here and you won't hear from him anymore. Simple.
Vincent placed his finger on Eve's lips to hush her from talking, while his other hand was on her waist. He whispered, "Annoying brat. I should put him to sleep." Seeing her eyes turn wide, he added, "It is just a thought. Of course, I won't kill him."

Don't corrupt her. Let her stay the same. She's not meant for the dark and you know it.
Vincent stared into her blue eyes, noticing the pure innocence, and he doubted he could hold back his emotions of wanting to corrupt her and turning her into his. To let her know that he was serious. He let go of the lace of her dress, when he turned back to look at the mantle of the fireplace and the wall, Eve heard Theophilus call her name.

You'd only protect and love her. We all are aware of that.
"I won't hurt you. It's the last thing I have on my mind," Vincent replied, and Eve knew his words to be true in her heart.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
I'm glad we're back to first name basis. He obviously likes her hair loosened than tied up.
"Vincent," Eve warned him with a feeble voice because her heart was going to burst out of her chest any moment.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
That's a wrong statement. She didn't spend the night with the Duke Vincent. She spent it at his house.
Vincent was annoyed at the thought of her spending her night with the Duke.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Ahem ahem! He didn't touch her, only gave her a place to stay the night. Also, jealousy is good and bad so control yourself lover boy
"How silly of me to not know it," Vincent replied sarcastically. Before she could step farther away from him, his hand shot up and caught hold of the little pink lace in front of her dress, pulling it towards him. Eve felt her heart skip a beat, feeling him tug the tied lace for it to unfurl. "You are unaware of what you have fallen into, my dearest. But now that you have, it is better to take responsibility for it. Don't let anyone touch you. You know what I am capable of when I am angry, jealousy isn't too far from it," he whispered for her to hear.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 like you always wanted to do when you were a child? Come on! That wouldn't be fair or gentlemanly. She'd be a pet and not a woman you love.
"The number of your admirers is truly outstanding. It makes me question if I should build a glass case in my room and fill it with water, keeping you locked in there for no one but myself to look, touch and talk," Vincent remarked, jealousy starting to slither in his veins.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
That's very good. I love that. Get her trust back, win her back with decent tactics and not her mother's skeleton story. Be a gentleman and do your best.
He was yet to tell her about her mother. Though it was easy to make her agree to come to Skellington for that reason, he wanted her to decide it out of her own free will. He wanted to win her back, and he wasn't going back without her.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
That's true. She'll need a change of location. Eve ain't thick skinned like her mother was to bear the humiliation and all.
Eve shook her head and said, "You don't have to do that." What had been done was done, and there was no way to go back to the past and change it. A new house would not bring back the respect that the townsfolk had stripped from her.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
That's true. They need a much stronger house for better living and safety and also so they're nolonger looked down upon. It seems big enough so it'll be wonderful. I like the idea.
"I know," Vincent hummed, staring at the fireplace. "Don't worry, the house will be rebuilt the way it is now, but much more strongly. We'll just be replacing everything together one by one, instead of you painting the walls and changing the wooden flooring."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Hmm!! Now I'm also curious about this conversation. What are we agreeing upon here Aunt?
"… sure if it is a good idea. I am fine with how things are because doing something more, might only add to the existing rumours from what I heard from Eve. I want to thank you for what you have done for Eve so far, Mr. Moriarty. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. It is good to know someone is looking out for her," her voice was low.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Mm...it's only natural.
Once everyone finished their dinner, Eve helped the maid and Lady Paloma in the kitchen. Just so that she could stay away from Vincent and Theophilus for some time. Every time Vincent spoke in the room, he had all her attention.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Sorry man. But that's the truth.
For the rest of the dinner, it wasn't Eve who was glaring at Vincent but Theophilus, ready to run a stake through the vampire's chest for insinuating that the woman's reply he was waiting for marriage, was like his sister.
Fantasy · ash_knight17
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🏃🏃🏃
Theophilus turned to Vincent, and before he could say something, the vampire remarked with dry humour, "You have an adorable brother, Ms. Barlow."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
I totally agree with you on that.
"Interesting," hummed the vampire before saying, "Because Ms. Barlow and I share such close friendship too. Isn't that right, Ms. Barlow? But to have grown up knowing each other for so long, it must give a brother-sister feeling."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
"You're like friends" so how come you're expecting a "yes" to your proposal? Are you desperate?
Theophilus coughed the food that he had just swallowed, patting his chest. He responded to the vampire's words, "Eve and I aren't siblings, but are like friends."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
Oooopss!! That slipped. *Clears throat 🤓 a bit loudly* 🤣🤣🏃
Vincent, who sat across from them, remarked, "It is good to see Ms. Barlow shares such a close sibling-like bond with your son, Lady Paloma."

I think I saw fireworks in here. This has been the long awaited moment since like when?? 🤭😝🤪. Now everyone is happy. Congratulations Vince. You win.
He tucked one side of Eve's hair before resting his hand behind her ear. He said, "Let me steal a little more of you." She gripped the front of his shirt as if, deep down in her heart, it was something she wanted. Closing the gap between their lips, he kissed her.
