Purple Blood

Chapter 23

Hobi went to grab her a shirt and a pair of boxer briefs. By the time he got that ready, Yoongi was carrying her back into the room. "Thanks, Hyung."

He yawned so big and mumbled any time before leaving. Hobi got her dressed and under the covers. She curled her body around his, and he could feel her breath on his neck. He fell asleep quickly, and when he woke up the next morning, he heard her in his shower. This was perfect; he could make her the breakfast she wanted. Hopefully, he can finish it before she gets out so she could eat it in bed.

The vampire made it as fast as possible but wasn't fast enough. Right as he got her tray ready, she walked into the kitchen. "Ahh, I was going to bring you breakfast in bed."

She smiled brightly at him, "Hobi, that's so sweet. Thank you!"

They were heading back to his room when Joon walked out of his. "I'll take that." He reached for her hand after he grabbed the tray, "Come on, Princess, I'm going to show you my favorite room in the house."

Violet turned to wave goodbye to Hobi, and then she mumbled, "I'm going to let the whole princess thing slide since I want to see the library."

She heard Hobi snort; damn vampires and their hearing. Vi blushed bright red and smiled at him before Joon dragged her away. She followed him into the library. She was pretty sure he was talking, but she was too overwhelmed by how massive this place was. It's gorgeous and has wall-to-ceiling books; this was the most remarkable thing she's ever seen.

"We just added the second floor since I filled out the bottom floor. That section right there by the velvet couch is yours. We picked that area because it overlooks the garden, and when the moon rises, the night roses will be in full bloom. We already put your books up. You only filled one shelf, and you have lots more to go."

Joon turned to look at her, and she did not hear a word he said. Her mouth was wide open, and so were her eyes. This made him chuckle a bit. He knew he was right to insist that he be the one to show her this. He placed her tray on the table and turned to look at her. 

Nothing; it's like he's not even there. He gets it; he loves books, too, but he is the King. He bent over; she was so tiny. He reached forward and placed his finger under her chin. "You might want to close that, or else a fly might get in. Or possibly something else," he said with a smirk.

She raised her eyebrow at him and then snorted, "That was the worst line ever."

He raised himself to his full height and fluffed his hair a bit. They weren't used to this. Most women fawn over them; they'll do anything they want. But not this one. She seems to want nothing to do with any of them. But she will be his Queen, and because of that, he will win her over. He didn't want her to be miserable for the rest of her life. "Come on, let's not waste the breakfast Hobi made you."

She hurried over to her seat and set about eating; when she was done, she looked at Joon with a curious face. "What?" She blushed and shook her head no. It made him smile, at least he can fluster her a little. "What is it, Princess?"

She sighed, "Vi, it's Vi. Why do you guys insist on calling me Princess? I have said that I don't like that; I told you that the first night. But NO, all of you keep saying it. Geez, will you still call me Princess when I'm the Queen?" She was ranting, and Joon found it completely adorable. He just sat back in the chair and watched her until she lost her breath.

"Now, do you want to ask me what you wanted to know?"

She slumped in her seat, "why haven't you eaten yet? That's usually the first thing that they do."

Hmm, curious. "Do you want me to eat?" She shook her head no so vigorously, that's more like it. That was the reaction he was expecting. "While I would love to eat, I don't necessarily need to. As the King, I don't have to feed as much as the others; it's something about the royal blood."

"So you aren't going to feed from me today at all?"

She was a little too excited about that prospect; he almost hated to tell her, "I will, but not until later."

Vi nodded her head and looked down at her hands, they were gripping her shirt tightly "are you going to sleep with me too?"

She was so embarrassed. He knew what she was saying, so he wanted to tease her a bit. "Yes, you'll sleep in my bed."

Her blush went to her ears, "That's not what I'm talking about, and you know it."

"Do you want to have sex with me?"

She shook her head not so fast that it made him frown. Why didn't she want to? She'd slept with Jin, and he believed Yoongi as well. "I don't, I'm sorry. Before Jin, I had never done anything, and he didn't ask; he just took everything."

She was starting to tear up a bit, Joon reached forward a pinched her chin so she'd look at him. Her tears spilled over, and her eyes were red, "I promise you that I will not touch you in that way until you want me to. You are going to be my Queen, and I will never do anything to hurt you. But I do ask one thing." Her eyes looked deep into his soul, "do you remember where I fed from last time?"

Again, she blushed, making him smile; she whispered a yes, and he leaned forward. "Can I feed from there, though?" She nodded yes, but just slightly. "Thank you, my Queen." That made her smile. "Are you ready to see the area we got ready for you?"

She jumped up and pulled him out of the chair, "I'm coming, I'm coming." Joon took her hand gently and pulled her in the right direction. They went up the spiral staircase, and he first walked her to the window. "Look," Joon said as he pointed to the garden.
