Innocent Blood Chapter 4
As we were coming closer to the incredible sight that was the island. Bruce suddenly turned to me.
"I may have forgot to tell you that the shoots will all either be done at night or early evening". That was surprising as normally shoots would be done either during the day or early in the morning. That now made sense for him bring extra bags containing extra light for the shoots. I just brushed it off as lots of people want to do shoots at night or so I thought. As we got closer I could see a empty pier in the distance. I then took one last look back from the direction we had come from to see if we could see if any other islands surrounded us but there were none before I turned back around. My heart jumped and my eyes widened in shock as now standing on the pier looking in our direction was a man.
"How did he get there that fast" I thought as the max I had looked away was about two seconds and he certainly wasn't there before.
This was not just any man but he was incredibly good looking. It looked as if he had been carved out of white marble as that was how his skin looked. He looked to be around late thirties maybe early forties but was still good looking. I was awe struck. He was at least 6'1 with blonde hair that went down past his shoulders and split into fine curls that you just wanted to brush your hand through just to see how soft they felt. He was quite splendid looking. He was wearing a velvet red cloak with a causal black suit underneath and smiled as we came to a stop right next to him. However his gaze seemed to be in only one place and that was me. I could now see his eyes clearly. They were striking, a cobalt blue color with what almost looked like flecks of gold sprinkled through them. He looked at us with a dazzling smile but his eyes seemed like they were wise beyond his years like he had been around for centuries. As we came to a halt he walked up to us with elegantly which I had never seen done on a man before all the while with his gaze centered on me to which I couldn't help but blush. Bruce and Lance placed the equipment and the bags on the pier while the man came to a stop. Micky then took off my life jacket and lifted me off the boat but kept me behind him in case this man tried anything.
"Are you Marius?" my godfather asked to which the man turned his gaze away from me and to my uncle.
"Yes that would be me, Marius De Romanus at your service" the man replied in a strong but sooth tone before shaking Bruce's hand "You must be the world famous photographer Bruce Weber"
"I try to live up to it" Bruce mused to which both men laughed "This is Micky Bret, our bodyguard" They shook hands with Marius smiling and Mikey with a stone look as he was not sure to trust him yet.
"And this is the lovely lady you requested, my godchild and one of the best models out there" to which I rolled my eyes at his remark as he was trying to embarrass me in front of Marius "Hazel Blake". Marius once again gazed at me with a smile before stepping forward but not before Micky stepped in front of me, blocking Marius
"Micky stand aside she is safe" Micky reluctantly stepped aside to which Marius stepped in front of me making me blush more as he was even more glorious up close.
"Hello my name is Hazel, Hazel Blake" I said expecting to shake his hand and not expecting what he did next. He took my hand but instead of shaking it he brought it up to his lips and kissed it making me blush. This man certainly knew how to treat a women with proper respect. Something which I had experienced that a lot of men lacked.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Hazel I have been awaiting patiently for your arrival" "Would you like to follow me along with your godfather and bodyguard to where you will be staying"
"Of course" I replied before I suddenly heard a crash from the bushes. I darted around in case a wild animal was about to attack as I didn't know the island and what creatures exactly lurked here. However Marius just smiled at the bushes as if he knew what was lurking behind it.
"What was that?" I asked to which he turned his gaze back to me still with a smile.
"It was probably just an animal my love don't worry about it" "Now come on". He took my hand and lead me while the rest followed behind. I wondered if I should help carry some of the equipment but before I could turn around Marius leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"Your delicate hands should not have to carry those things as let the men do it" "They will be fine" For some reason I felt like I couldn't resist his request and walked on with him. While the others walked behind at a slower pace. For the first time in my life I felt respected and were I belonged even though I had just arrived, met Marius and still had a few more faces to meet.
Third Person's POV
As Hazel was meeting Marius on the pier along with Bruce little did she know that two other men were hiding in the bushes gazing after her. Armand and Louis had completely ignored Marius's rule to wait at the house and couldn't wait to see their precious angel. As they had spent too long waiting for her arrival and wanted to rip Marius to shreds when he told them to wait at the house while he got the chance to meet her first. Once Armand managed to get a hold of modelling shoots of her it took both of them their sheer will not to go and abduct her themselves as she was so beautiful. Now looking at her up close she was even more striking. The photographers did not do her justice. As they leaned down in the bushes Armand suddenly made the mistake of kneeling beside Louis and stepping on a branch making a loud crunch sound as it broke on the earth's floor.
"Shit" Armand cursed making Louis chuckle before their angel and Marius looked at the bushes. Their angel darted around looking around the bushes like a wild animal was coming for her while Marius remained still with a smile on his face but his eyes pierced into the two young vampires telling them to get their behinds back to the house before he got there or there would be trouble. Louis got to his feet and dragged Armand before he did anything else that would blow their cover further and land them in more hot water with Marius. When they were far away from the new people that they knew Marius would only hear. Louis shoved Armand playfully who was growling at his actions.
"Way to go Lover boy" Louis teased when Armand shoved back as they got to the back steps that lead up to the fine mansion.
"Shut up Louis" Armand snapped as he jumped up the stairs with inhuman grace.
"Alright Cupid" Louis laughed following as he enjoyed teasing Armand.
