Beautiful Deadly - Betrayal
Chapter One
Chris has been back for a few days and things have been going quite well. Chris asked Alex if they could delay their Detroit trip for a few days because he has something that he has to take care of. Most of their time is spent talking and laughing at home, but once nightfall comes, Chris leaves to go take care of his business.
Becoming increasingly frustrated, Alex has no idea what this business of his is and why he always seems so preoccupied. She is sitting at home, watching the TV and Chris has been gone for more than four hours. Since his return, he has never left her alone for such a long time and she doesn’t know what to think. Immediately after his return, she was really comfortable with where they were in their relationship. He was attentive and loving and he didn’t want to be away from her, but now, he has no problem with that.
Their relationship has grown so much in such a short time. Alex has truly fallen in love with the vampire who ruined her life. He is loving and caring and tries his best each day to make her feel like a queen. She has never felt completely as one with a man, and she is experiencing that with Chris. She knows his thoughts, his emotions, his likes and dislikes. She finds herself always trying to make him happy. His comfort and happiness are at the forefront of her mind. His smile lights up her extremely dark world. Who knew that this was how she would experience true love? The mending of two souls that happened so unexpectedly?
Alex looks down at her watch and sees 12:52 PM. She hears a sound far in the woods and her body stands at full alert. Concentrating on her sense of smell, she realizes that it is Chris returning to the house. She smells his strong scent and smiles as he enters the door.
“Hi, Beautiful. I missed you.” He tells her while placing a kiss on her lips.
Alex leans into him, reveling the feel of his big, strong arms wrapped around her body. “You wouldn’t have to miss me so much if you stay home or take me with you.”
“Sweetie, you know I have to do this alone.”
Alex turns around in his arms. “What is it that you have to do alone? I still don’t know where you go every night. What are you doing?” she asks.
Chris hesitates. He knows he should be open and honest, but he doesn’t want her to take it the wrong way and blow it out of proportion. His search is totally harmless and is just a way to ease his guilt.
“I am looking for Jessica.” He says.
With raised brows, Alex asks. “The lady that you changed? Why would you be looking for her? I thought you said she ran away from you and didn’t like you.”
“She did and she doesn’t. I want to find her before I go to Detroit because I want to make sure that she is safe and have my new address, just in case she needs my help.”
“Oh.” Alex says. Her mind starts racing and she starts thinking up a million scenarios. One of these being the possibility that Jessica might come to live with them. The thought that Chris might be in love with Jessica also crosses her mind, but she dismisses it. Why is he so interested in her all of a sudden? When they had just met, he told her that Jessica didn’t like him, and that she ran away as soon as she figured out how to live on her own.
Alex remains silent as her thoughts run wild. For the first time since they have been together, she feels uncomfortable in his arms. He is running his fingers slowly along her cheeks, but it feels like she isn’t there. Alex looks up at his face and he doesn’t even look down on her, like he usually does. He is distracted and seems to be in a faraway land.
Alex gets up from out of his arms and goes in the direction of their bedroom. Stopping at the end of the hall, she looks back to see that he hasn’t moved. Something is definitely bothering him and it worries her. What is it about this woman that has his mind so preoccupied? He has never behaved in this manner before and it
