Dahlia and the general got to Durville in about forty minutes. They had no reason to slow down as they were both vampires. It was only when they got to a path that would either lead to his house or the castle that Lorenzo stopped. Dahlia stopped along with him."Is there a problem?" She asked."Should I take you to the castle... or you want to spend the night in my house?""Easy choice there. Your house. There is no need to disturb those at the castle as it is the middle of the night and they are already sleeping." She then turned to him and winked.He lowered his head, but his gaze was on her, then he gave her a boyish grin. "If only you know how you look right now." He then tried to wipe her face which was stained with dried tears with his palm."Oh." She then tried to wipe it by herself, but he caught her hand."Allow me." He said, and she dropped her hand. He then used his thumb when he saw that the palm wasn't really doing anything. Finally he gave up and decided that she should
Dahlia woke up the next morning only to meet the side of the bed where Lorenzo was lying empty. She sat up and was surprised to see that she was already served breakfast on a small stool close to her bed. She smiled at his thoughtfulness. She wondered where he was, or had he gone to the castle already?That was when she looked and noticed the small note that was kept on the side of the stool. She picked it up to read. 'Left for the castle. Made you breakfast. I will be back early.'She smiled reading it, wondering when he left. She then heard footsteps outside the room, and she wondered if he had not left. She quickly stood up to check. When she came out of the room, she saw that it was indeed him."You are still here?""Uhm yeah. I was just about leaving. I didn't want to wake you up since you barely slept last night."She smiled at him. "Can I go with you to the castle? I want to meet the king and queen.""I would have loved to take you, but that would make me late.""I will be fa
The Duke's gaze darted from the king to the general, then to the queen and her guards, and his face paled."You can't disrespect my queen in our own castle, and certainly not in my presence. Kneel now to save your head. We will talk after that."Duke Malthus saw the look in his eyes, and he knew for sure that there was no way he would escape it. He would have to kneel to a human, an inferior being. The thought annoyed him.But having no choice, he hesitantly went to stand in front of Luciana. His gaze met her daring and unwavering one. He challenged her with his eyes, but he seemed to be losing terribly. In the next moment, he dropped to his knees.There was a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know the moment he knelt. It was as if he was pulled down by an invisible force. He then tried to get up, but it felt like his body was too heavy for him to carry. He looked up, and saw that her gaze was still on him.The king then came to stand by her side, and she looked towards his dire
Luciana had her head rested on Raziel's chest with her eyes closed, inhaling his scent which she had gotten familiar with. While Raziel held her waist, pulling her closer to himself. She was still sitting at the edge of the table and he in between her legs. They had gone at it three times, and he decided to give her a rest."Are you okay Lucy?" He asked as he brought one hand to smoothen her disheveled hair. Luciana who couldn't find her voice at the moment could only nod her head. She smiled at the question. He always made sure she was okay after every love making. He was so watchful and observant, not wanting to do anything that would hurt her the least.She never thought she was the type to have her heart melt at simple words and gestures. She had never been the type to crave for romance. Now she had it, and she would do anything to keep it.A gentle smile curved on her lips, and she opened her eyes. She felt her heart pounding, and she was aware that he could hear it, but she did
Luciana and Raziel's alone time was cut short when the members of the king's council arrived the castle. The members were already seated around a large and long rectangular table in the throne room, when Raziel and Luciana entered, hand in hand. There were murmurs before they entered, but it died down as they were spotted. Raziel led Luciana to sit on a chair at one end of the table, while he sat on the other. The people didn't fail to notice the air around them. It was as if they found peace in each other. It was obvious that they would rather be on their own at that moment.When Raziel sat down, it was quiet for a while before he eventually started."It was brought to my notice that you had something crucial to discuss with me and the queen, may I know what it is?"One of the dukes cleared his throat. "Your majesty, ever since your father passed, and especially ever since your coronation, they had been increasing complaints about you. People say that you don't listen to them, and
Dahlia stared at the general still in a state of shock. She saw his eyes, and there was no mistaking what she saw in them; desires.It then occured to her that perhaps he had always desired her, but he controlled himself out of respect for her. Now he wanted her to see, and she was surprised that she affected him that much.Lorenzo on the other hand didn't take his eyes off her, nor did he try to hide the desires in them. He still stared at her with that almost predatory look, and she gulped nervously. But she couldn't just back down, she was too proud for that."May I know how you play your games Enzo?" She asked with a low tone, not tearing her gaze from him as well, as if she was challenging him.She saw him shut his eyes and let out a deep sigh, his chest heaving along. When he opened them again, her heart skipped.He suddenly wrapped one hand around her waist and pulled her close to himself, until she collided with his sturdy chest. She gasped in shock. He acted so fast that she
Dahlia lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, her mind occupied with what transpired between Lorenzo and her. She didn't expect it to end that way. She expected to just tease him and leave as she usually did, but he had played along, and she couldn't deny how affected she was.It had been hours since their encounter, and yet she still felt the tingling and electrifying sensation zap through her anytime she thought of him. She was restless, so restless, angry even. How dare he? She felt like going back to him to pay him back, but she decided against it. She didn't want him to think of her as desperate... Wait! Since when did she begin to care about such?She wondered why she was even feeling this way. It wasn't as if she was new to these intimate acts, but she just found him different from the others. Perhaps it was because she was only playing back then.She was mostly always locked in, and the few times that she managed to step out, she would always want to explore.The t
Raziel was suddenly behind Luciana. He placed his hands on both her shoulders, then he leaned down to kiss her cheek. "I hope you like my surprise, love. I am not so great with them.""You out did yourself." She praised. She then turned to him, her lips meeting with his. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she stood up, while his hands went to cup her bum. He gave her a soft squeeze and she giggled.Raziel pulled away from this kiss, and took her hand. "Come."Luciana wondered where he was going to take her, or what he wanted to show her. She followed him without questions anyway.The vampire king suddenly carried her and leaped with her to a high cliff, stopping at the edge of it. She looked down and saw a body of water there. She followed it with her eyes, and traced it to a waterfall not too far from where they were. The place was surrounded by greeneries and flowers, making it appear beautiful. It looked somewhat magical.Looking down at the water, it brought back memories. She ha
