He then pulled away to say, "I know Bambi. You're too tight. It will take time to get used to it," just as the words passed through his lips, Vivian's cheeks set itself on fire all over again. He couldn't help but chuckle at her pure untainted reaction.

"Why do you say it like that!" she exclaimed looked away from him. Her neck was bare for him to kiss and he took the opportunity to kiss her there.

"It's too hard not want to tease you," kissing her shoulder he ran his finger up and down her stomach, tickling her in the process as she giggles erupted out of her lips.

"Haha, stop it, Leo!"

"Why? Doesn't it feel good?" he teased her to see her shake her head but she continued to laugh until his hand slid down between her legs. The smile that had been etched on her face slowly started to calm down with her eyes on him and his on hers to gauge her expression. He saw her gulp as her throat bobbed up and down.

Leonard knew that he wouldn't be able to put his finger in immediately as she was still a virgin. A woman who hadn't been touched by a man and wouldn't be touched by anyone but him.

He had intended to bring her in the mood by taking her to the night theatre but as she got into the scene and started to heat up with the way her heart started to thud back in the theatre, Leonard had started to get aroused by the atmosphere and having Vivian next to him within his reach.

Yet he couldn't do anything about it. This is where he wanted her. Comfortable without any prying eyes or ears on them. Just them alone with each other.

Vivian heard Leonard speak, "I won't put my finger in completely. Just enough to make you feel comfortable. It would be hard if I don't prepare you beforehand."

His finger played around her wet sex, juice that had begun to overflow which made his manhood hard. Bringing the other hand to turn her head towards him, he leaned forward and kissed her lips before delving his index finger into the core which made her squirm. He made sure to not put it in but only try to test the entrance by pushing it a little forward and back until he could get only half of his finger in there. At the same time, Vivian's uncomfortable whines had turned to small sighs as she got used to his finger.

Testing out the depth as time progressed, he pushed his finger a little more which made her moan and cry with his finger that had begun to take its own momentum.

In the beginning, when Leonard had tried to push his finger in, it had turned out to be painful. It stung and hurt which had only turned out to be uncomfortable but the second time was different.

He had kissed her time and time again, cooing to her as he pushed his finger little by little as something down her core began to build up. It felt as if something was about to come out. Scared she tried to hold back every time Leo's finger moved back and forth continuously in slow motion.

"L-Leo!" she cried out softly for him while he was right next to her. Leo looked into her eyes, seeing her scared and worried, worried that for the first time she was feeling something so different that she couldn't control her body, "I'm scared," she confessed and at that time, Leo wouldn't have been able to explain how endearing she looked in his eyes right now.

He soothed her by rubbing his thumb over her forehead.

"It is okay, Bambi. You don't have to hold back," he said to soothe her mind, "Relax yourself," he said as his other hand continued to move in and out very slowly until she cried out with her back arching from the bed and finally falling back down. She could feel the wetness that was pooled between her legs now, her heart humming along with her body out of the pure pleasure Leonard had given her. "What were you crying out for?" he asked her, lust lacing his voice as he had seen her come undone in front of his eyes.

His words brought the expected reaction from her. She shook her head and then said, "I am sorry for crying out."

He kissed the side of her head, "You don't have to be embarrassed about it. I wouldn't want you holding back what you feel with me rather I enjoy hearing you cry out my name. On the bed of course," he added as he grinned down at her.

Getting closer to him, she hid in his chest. A yawn escaped her mouth but she tried hard to stay awake. With the play that took place in the night, it was past midnight now.

With sunlight that hit the curtains, trying to pass the rays through the white material, Vivian slept soundly in the bed. Her hand placed near to her face and eyes closed, she snored softly on the pillow. Hearing something move in the room, her eyes fluttered open drowsily. She wondered how long she had slept, turning to look at the clock on the wall she saw it pointing its hourly hand to the number three and she frowned. Did she sleep until noon?

About to get up from the bed, she placed one foot on the cold ground when she saw a man sprawled on the floor. Going closer she saw blonde hair where Leo laid lifeless with his eyes that had turned black and hollow.

Her hands shook in fear, goosebumps forming on her skin before she was woken up, "Vivian!" her eyes opened to find darkness.

She blinked as she adjusted to the lack of light in the room to catch Leo looking at her worried. Moving to the desk, he poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink," taking it with both her hands she sipped the water, "What were you dreaming?" he asked her.

Her eyes moved from her the bedpost to him who stood in front of her, "What's the matter, Vivi?" she shook her head. Running his fingers through his thick blonde hair, he sighed. He sat on the bed, folding his right leg while keeping the left leg on the floor.

Placing the glass on her lap which Leo took from her, she continued to stare at the bedpost, "Do you think what we dream comes true?"

"Not necessarily. Dreams are figments of your imagination which picks up one or two details in real life before fabricating a world which doesn't exist," he explained to ease her mind as he could still hear her heart beating loudly in her chest.

"But is there a possibility that it might happen?"

"Rarely."

Vivian clutched the sheets that had come to settle near her lap. Her mind looping the scene of her dream over and over again, "If I tell you something, you promise not to be angry?" she asked him beforehand.

"I won't."

"I have a feeling and...I know that it wasn't Paul who was the one responsible for corrupting your mother's heart that night. It feels like the culprit is somewhere nearby and close to us. Who is waiting for an opportunity to repeat what was done," she was more than worried now. It was highly unlikely for something like that to take place but she couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that hung around her, "What if there's someone here, the person who has been responsible for it?"

Leo who had been listening to her speak, ponder over her words. He then replied, "That's not possible. We had an investigation held, and Jan has gone through the servants with a series of test to make sure we didn't have another worker who was under the influence of corrupting hearts of the pureblooded vampire."

"Jan?"

"Yes," how would Jan know about it though? Thought Vivian to herself, "Jan has some expertise when it comes to handling matters with the servants. He has taken part in the council two or three times."

"Jan, the housekeeper?" asked Vivian for confirmation to see him nod.

"Yes, the vampire. There is a temporary service which the council allows the pass out of written exams to be used when we run short of people to work. Like some of them, he was given the opportunity to work under the terms of the council for a short duration of time," to think that Jan was her senior in the council exam, she began to see the housekeeper in a different light.
