10 - Hot Kisses

Maya

“Am I lost?” I repeated, staring at him cautiously.

This familiar man was clothed in an expensive coat. His shoes could stand out anywhere, so as the ring which was wrapped around his fingers.

His hair was dark, with little strikes of blue and he appeared elder. I could smell that he was a vampire, yet, I couldn’t dismiss the fact that his presence radiated authority.

Delilah said no one in the palace was my friend. The elderly man stepped nearer; I took a step back immediately in fright.

“Fret not, dear. I’m King Vladmir, Javier’s father.”

He said, taking another step towards me. This time I didn’t move an inch. I was on spot, appalled by this revelation. King Vladmir took my hands, raising it to his chin.

“Such translucent skin and a pretty face. My son caught himself a gorgeous bride, I must say.” he murmured, kissing the top of my palms.

“Thanks, I’m delighted you think so. Have we by any chance met?”

I asked, with a broad smile on how he knew I was his son’s wife. There was this familiarity in his presence I couldn’t lay my hands on…

“I saw the servants bring you in, unconscious if that’s what you mean, dear.” Vladmir stated, with a smirk.

“Oh…”

I didn’t think of that…

“Why don’t you come drink with me, Maya? My chambers aren’t far off from here--"

“I’m afraid I must get going, Your Highness. My husband awaits me,” I breathed out, in panic.

“Ah, love it can’t be that bad you know.” The King leaned in whispering. “All pretty women in the palace belong to me.”

My eyes widened at his words. “W-What are you insinuating?”

“Someone so attractive and beautiful as you deserve the optimum best.” he replied, with a grin. “Bed me and I’ll grant you so much power than my son can ever give you.”

It was almost like I couldn’t believe my ears. Was this old man plotting something or this was just one of his ways?

“Y--“

“Maya!!!”

Some familiar voice growled, down the passageway. Angry heightened paces, zoomed towards where we stood. Cold hands wrapped around mine, I could feel the electricity swoosh through, messing with my senses.

It was Javier.

“How dare you?!” Javier shrieked at his father. “Who told you, you could make moves on my bride!!!”

Cackles resonated the room that second. I wriggled my eyes, knowing it came from the King himself.

“She’s just someone who woke you up. Why are you getting worked up?” King Vladmir stated.

Javier took my small hands, fitting it with his large ones. There were harsh dark veins underneath his eyes. His pupils dilated into pure black, different from other vampires in a fascinating way.

“Maya.Is.Mine.” he seethed, back. “Her body belongs to me, Vladmir.”

Tension was predominant in the air. I looked around and could see some maids peeking, at this scene. My heart pounded hastily at the fear that these two men might have a fight, because of me. Silently, I thought of what to do…

“Oh son, I wasn’t born yesterday. Give her to me, maybe our bad blood would be settled.” The King fiercely uttered. “You don’t love her, so it’s easy.”

Javier pulled me to his back, stepping even more closer.

“I don’t have to--"

I stepped forward. “Stop it, both of you!”

Their two gazes directed to me, with appalled expressions on their faces. I mean, I was not an object to be bargained on…

With this thought, I walked to Javier’s sides giving him a peck on the lips. The kiss was short, yet, oddly comforting. “What are you…”

He trailed out, unconsciously staring at me. I could see the surprise on King Vladmir’s features, through side view. I raised the hand of my oversized shirt, taking the Dark Prince’s hands in mine.

I pulled him with me, left with no choice than to say three words, which sounded like distaste itself:

“Let’s go, honey.”

…

Javier pinned me to the wall the minute we entered my room. His eyes, darkened in desire trailing his index finger and thumbs to my parted lips.

“I swore to not touch you…you’re making it hard for me, little lamb.” he seductively murmured.

My body surged with a dose of wanting, and I shivered puffing out air. “I did it to save your ass,”

As I sighed those words out, he chuckled devilishly trailing hands to my upper cleavage through the material.

“I’m the Dark Prince. It’s not me who needs the saving, it’s them.”

My eyes flickered, to gaze up at him. Core throbbed from the pressing of his hardened length against me. I could feel my wetness, yet I still thought of why his enemies needed saving?

Just who did I unstake from that box?

“Back to touching you,” he leaned even nearer, whispering in my ear lobe. “Don’t pull a stunt like that again or else I might end up taking you in front of him.”

I cried out when his thumbs grazed the bite spot, which held his mark. Javier used that moment to nibble my earlobes, finding out that I liked it. He let go of my hands, and at it, my heart thudded rapidly than the first time.

I could feel longing… some yearning, for this mesmerizing creature in front of me…

“Javier…I’m losing control.” I gritted out.

“Shock me, little one.”

My hands settled on his broad shoulders. As he swooned kisses on my neckline, it was like some unleashed part of me was activated. My fangs elongated and before I knew it, I sunk my fangs into his neckline.

What was I doing? Who was this monster in me? Tears flickered my eyelids at what I just did. Javier noticed and said,

“Oh yeah, snowflake… Use those baby fangs just like that,” As I was lost in a mist of passion, my palms clenched his lean waist.

I climbed Javier, wrapping my legs around him. His hardened cock pressed against my delicate part. My head was uncertain of the emotions that overtook me just now.

“Atta, Maya… you finally claimed me as yours too.” Javier seethed subtly.
