6. Journey Home

Zelda

The man holding my hand is gorgeous, I’m beyond relieved he isn’t a wrinkled prune I didn’t want my first time to be like that. My body seems to be having a meltdown and I’m struggling to keep a coherent thought, my facilities’ are all over the place. I hope to make good impression, it’s been so long since I’ve seen another being let alone touched one my emotions are all over the place. Zac smells delicious it’s a masculine heady musk that I can’t quite work out. He seems kind with his gentle smiles but there is a hunger in his eyes that is driving my body wild. I keep trying to take centering breaths, but I keep inhaling his exotic scent. In the end I focus on his hand holding mine where is thumb is drawing small circles, its soothing and I imagine his hands rubbing circles else where on my body.

I stumble in these dame heels and his arm reaches out to grab my waist bringing me flush against his tall toned muscular body, I can feel all the ridges of his muscles through his shirt and my hand land on his bicep to help steady myself.

‘Sorry, I’m not used to walking in heels,’ desperately trying not to appear like a helpless idiot.

‘Oh, sorry I didn’t think of that, I thought they would look good on you,’

‘There, beautiful, I just need to go a little slower if that’s ok?’ I suggest. He looks down at me still holding my waist and purses his lips.

‘The car isn’t far,’ then lifts me in his arms and carries me out the building I’ve called home all these years. My arm reaches round his neck to support myself whilst he holds my waist and legs carrying me across his body, his face is so close to mine I can feel his breath brush against my skin causing prickles to appear. I’m so distracted by him that I only notice I’m outside when a breeze swirls my hair. The feeling is wonderful and reminds me when I was back home how the water would engulf me, I hang my head back and bask in the sun’s rays.

We reach a long black vehicle where a driver opens the back door for us.

‘Sir,’ Zac just nods to him, I go to get down and make my way in when a growling noise comes from him and he pulls me closer, bending down still holding me close to his chest, I look up at him about to apologize when I see he isn’t looking at me but at the driver scowling. The driver seems to have gone red and doesn’t make eye contact with me. He just nods and closes the door behind us. What was that about? Now seated in the back of the car there are seats up the side and back, I go to move to one of the available seats where he pulls me back, I look up at him and he seems to change his mind and allows me off his lap, it’s at that point I’m aware of something pressing up against my back, I’d been so distracted by everything else I hadn’t noticed until now something was prodding me.

‘Would you like something to drink?’ Zac stiffly asks whilst he looks over at me, I just nod not sure what to request or ask for in the back of the car as I can see nothing available. Zac presses a button, and a door opens, and he pulls out two bottles of water, handing one to me, where his fingers brush my hands in the process causing me to blush. He is staring at me with those hungry eyes again and I find myself getting flustered with an ache between my legs forming. At that moment my face flushes even more realizing I didn’t have any underwear to put with the dress as it would have shown through that I am completely bare and squeeze me legs together hoping to block myself from him. I open the cap and drink down some water trying to distract myself from his gaze.

He continues to look at me, I see his eyes travelling up and down my body and his eyes darken even more, I stare out of the window trying to calm myself and get my body under control, it’s just feeling tight and restless. That’s when I see a castle come into view and I begin to panic a little the only species I know who currently live in the castle are vampires. Now I’m wondering if that hungry look in his eye is because he wants to eat me?

‘Your a vampire?’ I quietly ask, afraid to turn and look at him in case the beautiful face I’ve seen has morphed into something else.

‘Yes I am.’

‘I’m the prince actually,’ I gulp, oh, I knew someone wealthy would be who purchased me, but I was hoping for a fae or witch as I thought my chances would be better.

‘Did you purchase me to be your breeder?’ I ask turning to look at him. He pulls a strange expression I’m not too sure what it means, almost conflicted, I guess.

‘We will discuss that later, once you have settled in,’ he gives me a smile which I return, and I relax back into my seat a bit.

‘Zelda, I’m not going to eat you, at least not in the sense I think your imagining, ‘he smirks at the end and my breath hitches again my core feels like its pulsing.

He brings me to my quarters at the south side of the castle where one whole side is a large glass window looking out over the beach and harbor, the window is so high that the lower section has the water come right up and I can see some fishes swimming in it. Part of me is so happy to be so close to the ocean, my home, the other part feels this is almost cruel to be so close almost touching distance but still too far to be able to get to it.

I force myself to turn away and look at the rest of the room, the back wall opposite the window is a large bed, you could probable fit 5 people in there its so big, on the right is a door leading to a walk in wardrobe with a large mirror and vanity, rows of shoes and clothes similar to one I’m currently wearing are lining the rails, next to that is another door which looks to be a small office with books lining the shelves. On the left is a door leading to a large bathroom, an actual bath is there not just a shower. And unlike my shower at the facility this one is a walk in with multiple shower heads sitting high above and to the side, dual sinks, a small chair in the corner and a large fluffy rug in the center, the door next to it is locked and I look at Zac to find out what’s behind.

‘That’s for later,’ he simply says giving no indication as to what’s behind it, next the window is an assortment of seating, a small dinning table and a few sofa chairs to look out the window.

‘Are you happy?’ he asks. I’m not entirely sure how to respond, this room is breathtaking, it’s so huge I could do cartwheels across it to get from one side to the other. It has a glorious view, but will I be trapped here like I was in the last place or will I actually have freedom to explore, escape if needed. Zac comes towards me and turns me to face him, his hand on my waist.

‘Yes, its beautiful,’

‘But?’ I pause unsure how to phrase this, I don’t want to seem ungrateful or start things on a bad note. I tentatively reach my hand up and stroke the side of his face.

‘Will I get to explore the castle or city?’

‘In time, come sit down we have a lot to discuss,’ he beckons me over to the sofa to take a seat.
