Warped Reality

"I would never do that, sweetheart. In fact, it's you that keeps breaking my heart, Stella."

"What do you mean?" I frowned at him.

Ivano scooted near me, reached for the blanket to cover my body. When I raised a brow at him, he just smirked at me before glancing down between his t.h.i.g.hs. His manhood was hard, still glistening from our previous activity. I instantly understood his meaning.

"I know youre sore. Better cover you up before I'll ruin you." He showed me his fanged smile and I chanced a kiss of that smiling mouth. "I just covered you so I won't destroy you down there again. Now behave your cute little a.s.s and let's talk." He breathily said after pulling away from the kiss.

"Cuddle with me." I grinned at him.

He sighed but obeyed anyway. I didn't know when I started getting comfortable with him. Wasn't it just last week that we met? But it felt like we've been together for hundred years. Well, thousands, in fact. I rested my head over Ivano's c.h.e.s.t and hoped like silly I could hear his heartbeat. But yeah, he's so undead. No beating, nothing. Just wide, hard muscles and hey, he's breathing. I giggled at my silly thoughts.

"Whats so funny?"

"Nothing." I grinned up at him and tucked my head back under his chin. "Talk."

"Uh, where shall I begin?" He asked while he played with my hair but I knew it was just a rhetorical question so I stayed silent. "So yeah. You saved me from Lord Lancelot's sword. Thats the first time I saw you."

"Wait." I cut him off. "What do you think of me the first time you saw me?"

"I wanted to smack you right into your face." Ivano answered quickly.

"What?" I raised my head up from his c.h.e.s.t and gave him a good whack on his gut but the dead man didn't even flinch.

"Sweetheart, you were a trouble." Ivano kissed my hand that harmed his abs. "What do you think will I feel about all the things you did? You just came into my life like a disastrous whirlwind. I'm glad though that you're like that." He paused to kiss me on my head. "My feelings for you was a gradual thing. I didn't believe in love at first sight anymore. Look at what it did to me with Katherine."

I suddenly stiffened in his arms. Guilt instantly gnawed on me and Ivano rubbed my back to soothe my goosebumps away.

"What is it?" He solemnly asked.

"I think I might have something to do with Katherine's betrayal." I looked up to him again and gave him an apologetic smile. "I was inside Katherine's body when I first travelled into your time. I kind of said something stupid that caused you both your death."

"That's not..." Ivano frowned down at me. "When you travelled back in time, was that what happened? Me and Katherine died together?"

"Yeah. The first time I was there. I kind of killed Katherine when I jumped right into Lancelot's sword that was aimed at you. But it still took your life. So both of you died at the same time."

"Apparently, you made another visit, didn't you? Because that's not what happened."

"Yeah. I kidnapped you." I agreed while feeling my eyes began to drop again.

With my stinging, droopy eyes, I gave in and closed them while realization hit me. So this meant I could undo the past. Shit! I actually changed the history.

"Yes, you kidnapped me and you took me into this ramshackle cabin of an old warlock. He's after me to take my soul away. I was really beyond surprised when you can teleport from one place into another and brought me in this beautiful green landscape. Then you started seducing me."
