Hellbound With You

Chapter 717 - Something Improper

"I’m actually very surprised that there is no woman or women accompanying you right now, though. It’s such a common knowledge how vampires are just way too active with regards to their sexual pleasures." She continued her low monologue as she was just certain now that Ezekiel would neither be able to hear her nor feel her presence at all.

"I know it’s not nice to judge... but just based off the vampires’ reputation alone, especially with the more ancient ones – like yourself – are just so bad in that department that it’s even accepted widely like a fact. Was Alexander himself not a famous womanizer too before he met Abi and you were his... what did you call it... babysitter?" she chuckled softly when she recalled that term as she continued talking even though she knew that no one was listening. She had already gotten used to it in the past several months, talking on her own without anyone listening or responding to her.

"So I assumed you might be like him. Or did you change now as well, or perhaps you finally got sick of it now? I can’t find any signs of a female of any species in this house of yours at all. Or did I miss it? I couldn’t have, right? Alright... I might as well continue investigating now, while he’s asleep."

After muttering all of those things to herself, Alicia turned around. Then seeing that the statue was still a statue, she confidently walked past him to go back to the desk, thinking that perhaps, she could see some scribbles or anything in there.

And as soon as Alicia reached the desk, a slow smile tipped up the corners of Ezekiel’s marvellous lips without him opening his eyes at all.

...

Time ticked by and Alicia continued roaming around Ezekiel’s massive apartment happily and without any concerns. She could not find anything of importance lying around anywhere at all. His apartment was also just too plain and boring! There was not even a single painting hanging on those large blank walls. There was just the relevant furniture needed. He did not even have more personal item anywhere inside the house.

When Alicia returned to the living room, Ezekiel was already gone. What?! He is gone?! Her eyes widened immediately. Where did he go?

As though she was some guard who had just lost her charge, Alicia hastily ran around, looking for him. No, she must not let that sly vampire off from her view from now on!

Thankfully, she could go through walls, so she was able to quickly searched the house. She entered his closet last and found him there, getting dressed.

For a moment, she seemed to have caught him pausing for one brief moment the instant she appeared in the room. But when she focused her gaze, she could not see anything amiss. He was casually putting on his shirt now and then started walking towards her.

Alicia was flustered for a moment and was even about to step back when she saw him pick up the hair dryer next to her and nonchalantly used it.

A long sigh of relief escaped her mouth before she scolded herself inwardly this time. He is not able to see you so just relax, Alicia!

Once he was done, he left the closet and Alicia quickly followed after him.

"I’m sorry. I know this is not good, not giving you any privacy at all. But I really have no other choice. I need to watch over you at all costs. And well, I’m just a spirit now so... I basically don’t exist anymore. And I have a big reason on why I’m... wait... why am I even trying to convince myself that I’m not doing something so improper right now?" Alicia could only shake her head. But she really had no other choice. She would truly do anything for the sake of her people! She was willing to do anything it takes... even if she had to watch over the witches’ ultimate enemy for every single second for a whopping whole two months!

Standing by his bedroom’s door, Alicia watched him lie on the bed. One of his long legs was bent and the back of his arm slung over his face and was covering his eyes.

After what felt like an hour, Alicia could no longer stay still and slowly approach his bed. This will be a torturous mission for her she had just realized. It seems Ezekiel was really as boring as Alexander had called him. What if every night was going to be like this? Just him being so quiet and not saying or doing anything at all? There was no way he could go on like this, right? She had expected him to like doing some thing interesting while he was alone. Probably like practicing his abilities or at least doing some work related or confidential stuffs. But he just had to sit there lazily and drink blood and then just going to sleep?

Easy... Alicia. She told herself. This is just the first night. It really is too early to tell anyway. Maybe he was just tired right now? But... Ezekiel? Does this man even get tired? That was something unheard of.

Sighing despondently, Alicia quietly looked around the room, just trying to keep herself occupied. But the room did not have anything interesting that could draw her attention to at all. And for goodness’ sakes, time just seemed to pass so slow. Maybe she can leave him alone when he finally falls asleep? But what if he takes the opportunity to disappear then and she lose track of him? It was a given that this man was so hard to figure out after all!

In the end, Alicia let herself slide to the floor. Then she closed her eyes and started going through the previous queen’s memories again, hoping that she might somehow find something important that she might have overlooked. She always does this every time she felt like going crazy for not being able to even sleep or touch anything.

And as she had immersed herself in her thoughts, Ezekiel suddenly moved his hand off his face and slowly, his thick dark lashes fluttered opened.

He stared at the ceiling first then in the next moment, his head tilted and looked towards Alicia.
