Purple Blood

Chapter 25

Joon didn't want to leave her, but she needed to eat. So, with one last look, he was off. "Hey Jin, did you, by chance, make something for Vi?"

"Yeah, I'm finishing it up now. Where is she? I'll bring it to her."

"I got it; she's having fun." Jin frowned, and Joon couldn't figure out why. Jin forcefully pushed the plate toward where the King was standing. He grabbed it and muttered a thank you before heading back to his Queen.

She was right where he left her. She had drawn her knees up, and her chin was resting on them. Her book was propped up on her feet, and she was wearing socks with corgis all over them. She's young, barely an adult by human standards, but she looks even younger now.

"I brought your lunch. Are you ready to eat?" She blinked her eyes open a few times slowly, then smiled and nodded her head. Joon picked her up and got her situated on his lap again, then scooped up the beef stew he had made her. It had lots of veggies and meat in it. 

He blew on it to ensure it wasn't too hot and then brought it to her lips; she wasn't even looking at what Joon was feeding her. She'd open her mouth and chew when he pulled the spoon out. When she was done, she had a little soup dribbled onto her chin. He leaned forward and licked it off, she froze but her eyes flitted to his.

"My Queen, can I kiss you?" Her eyes flashed a bit of fear. "Just a kiss, I promise." She licked her bottom lip and turned towards him. He was taking that as a yes. Joon gently placed his hands on her cheeks and brought her lips to his. He was going to go slow. He wanted to kiss her gently, but then she moaned oh so quietly. 

Joon pulled back and rested his forehead against hers, "My God, my Queen, if I could kiss you forever, I would die a happy man." She pulled back from him and she looked at him, she was making her curious face again. She reached out to him, but she stopped herself. Ah, she was curious about him. "Touch me if you want my Queen."

Her fingers traced his eyebrows, then down the side of his face. He smiled and felt her fingers run over his dimples; it made her smile. Joon loved seeing her smile. "You're very handsome, Joonie. Did you know that?"

"I'm supposed to be; we need humans to be drawn to us."

She cocked her head a little to the side, "I think it's more than that, you are kind, and such a calming presence. Thank you, thank you for not pushing me. I appreciate it more than I could ever express."

The King tucked her loose hair behind her ear. "We're going to spend forever together. I want you to be happy. I truly mean that."

She frowned a bit, "Joon, I'm human. We'll spend 80 years together, at best."

She doesn't know? "You are immortal, Vi; as long as a Vampire doesn't drain you of all of your blood, you'll live forever. You'll stop aging somewhere in your mid-20s. You'll never get grey hair or see wrinkles on this beautiful face."

"Are you serious?" She asked, when he nodded his head yes she started crying.

He was so confused that most people would be delighted to find this out. Why is she so upset? "Why are you crying?"

Joon looked at Vi with such concern on his face, how could she tell him. How can she tell him that she is crying because the thought of being trapped with these men for eternity was her nightmare? While she loved the pleasure they gave her, it was like there were two of her. The one that's beating against her brain says run Vi, run far, far away and the other is on her back with her mouth wide open in pleasure. 

She was at war with herself and didn't know why. She was more than comfortable around Joon and Hobi; she had a blast with Jungkook and Jimin. She didn't know Tae, but he seemed nice. But for the other two, she felt like something was wrong. When she's not around them, she is okay, more herself. But once she saw or smelled them, something came over her, and she was no longer in control of her body. She didn't understand what was going on. Is this the beginning of Stockholm Syndrome?

"Please talk to me, Princess."

Violet scowled; he did that on purpose. She noticed they call her Princess when they want to rile her up; she should probably stop letting them get to her. But it's hard. "If I'll live forever, then I'll have to watch Nanny grow old and die. She'll leave me."

He wrapped his arms around her; she knew he would. He'll need to comfort her; it's part of his personality. His large palm was rubbing up and down her back, "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize how much that would hurt you. Can you forgive me?"

She sniffled a bit. She would have had to find out sooner or later. At least now she knew that she'd never be able to get away, that this would be her life from now on. "It's okay, Joon. Don't worry about it. I'll be okay, I promise. Would you mind if I went to lay down?"

"Of course. Let me take you to my room. You can rest until dinner time. We could order some pizza if you'd like."

That perked her up; she'd only had it once, but it was delicious. "Sure, Joon, that sounds great." He picked Vi up and carried her to his room; she knew she wouldn't get any privacy. So, as much as she wanted to go to her room and curl up, she was stuck there. At least she won't have to have sex with him. Hopefully, the other three do the same for her. She knew that Yoongi and Jin wouldn't give up, so if she could keep the other five at bay for as long as possible, maybe her time here would be a little easier.
