---- 237. SEX AND REVENGE VICTORIA That man weed everyone like he owned the ce, and out of nowhere, proposed a toast to the Lord. The spotlights shifted back to us. Drir was clearly tense, stepping right in front of me topletely shield me from view. Apuse and even loud cheers rang out in his name. Some idiot even congratted him for ughtering the rebel vampires on the borders.

    The crowd''s excitement grew, but the rigid tension in his back told me he was ufortable, probably thinking I''d be upset. I reached out and gently stroked his side where no one could see. Felt the shiver run beneath my fingers. "It''s okay, baby... I''m not mad about that," I whispered through the temporary bond we had formed. His love and mental caresses reached me secondster. ---- That was all I needed to not regret epting him.

    erred Between Drir rejecting dance invitations and nearly snapping at every man who walked near me, we arrived at the next event of the night. Apparently, there was going to be a y or something. People started picking up masks and programs, heading toward arge door Inside was a massive theater, bigger than anything even our pce had.

    This fortress was way more luxurious than I''d imagined, "My Lord, as always, I hope to share the box with you," the clingy Celia finally slithered over. She''d been stalking him all night. I knew she tried to sic some of her little friends on me, but their childish insults didn''t even tickle. "Celia, not this year." "Victoria! So d I found you.

    Come, I reserved a prime box just for you, I don''t think you''ve ever seen a show like this." ---- Saint Agatha appeared right on cue to lead me away and open a spot for her daughter. "Wait, Agatha..." Draco grabbed my arm. "Victoria will be with me tonight." "But I always." Celia''s face was on the verge of tears "It''s not necessary, my Lord. I''l go to the box that Mrs. Agatha so kindly reserved for me.

    You should apany Miss Celia." "Victoria, you''reing with me..." Drir ordered through clenched teeth "Let''s go, Mrs. Agatha, or they''ll give our spot away." I was the one who dragged the viper off, walking away from Draco. His annoyed growls echoed in my head, but I still slipped through the crowd, leaving him with his beloved Celia. I wasn''t giving him away... I just knew he''de after me. Wouldn''t it be better to give that sadist hope just to crush itter?

    I knew she and her mother were plotting something, I just had to wait for the right moment. "Thanks for the... box," I told the silver-haired woman.
