Vampire & Witch; The Shadows

17

"No! No I do not want that-"

"I'm in charge here. I'll call you whatever the hell I want!" The male growled grabbing me by the chin.
Did he have any idea that I was a princess, the next ruler of Syra?
When I ascend the throne, I would make sure I have my assassins hunt him down then present him in a cage as a birthday gift to myself. All the humiliation and belittling me would not be forgotten.

I could only glare into the depths of those sky blue eyes that held no anger at the moment. At least they weren't blazing red, that would be a bad sign.

Being held against him like that honestly stirred me in the inside. While he was hot and alluring, he was also my housemate's boyfriend, or she thought he was. But I knew better, Lucian probably trapped her just to have something(someone) to blackmail me with if I refused to fulfil my end of the deal.

"Now why are you here?" Lucian asked, yet never letting go or loosening his grip.

My gaze averted to the stalls to my left. "The...I..."

"You what?"
He pressed forward into the imaginary space that had been there between us(none) and I swear I felt something poke my belly. Maybe it was his belt or some item in his pocket, no wait! His pockets were on the sides, not around his groins.

The hand on my chin slid off, pushing my left down with it. All that remained was my right still at his neck, and his left on my waist...with no space between us whatsoever. Breathing was a little difficult, but I couldn't complain, who knew what the beast would do to me(deep down, I didn't want him to move).

No! It wasn't supposed to feel good.
I was 'dating' Josh and he was 'dating' Daisy.

"I want you to feel my fangs buried deep in this pretty neck of yours."

His eyes were aimed at it dangerously.

"You'll feel my venom coursing through your veins-" he sank his head on my neck, "- It'll head straight to your heart then spread to every part of your body. But don't worry, it doesn't kill, will make you feel vulnerable and intoxicated for a while. Some girls enjoy it when I bite them. They, beg to be bitten." Lucian explained in detail. My mind had drifted the second he started caressing the skin there with his face.

"Lu-Lucian?" I breathed constrained.

But he ignored me.

"You smell so good. You taste even better !"
Immediately he uttered those words, I felt a prick on my neck. The pain vanished away in a heartbeat before Lucian pulled away from there and attacked my lips vigorously.

His right hand grabbed and lifted my thigh as he continued kissing the daylight out of my lips.
I wanted to resist. I did resist.

But the pull inside my chest made me give in and kiss back without caring if his fangs were still there.

Hell!
I even let him grab my other thigh and lift me to carry me against the wall.

A soft growl came from the back of his throat and I had never felt so aroused by mere sound as I was at the moment. I didn't want the kiss to end because then I would face reality and hate myself for what I was busy enjoying.

His mouth left mine, allowing me to suck in air like a dying fish... This wasn't right.
I doubted Lucian had any morals, let alone conscience. But I had to maintain my dignity and-what was I thinking? All sense flew out the windows when he started leaving kisses all over my cleavage. The more he engaged, the more the thing now under my butt seemed to grow.

"Lucian?" I moaned grabbing handfuls of his hair to pull.

His eyes met mine, the red glow seemed brighter than ever.

"You're mine!"
He was now moving his lips towards mine.

"This...this wasn't-"
He cut me short in another air-blowing kiss while letting go of my thighs so I could slide to the floor.
I felt him hard as a rock as my body sluggishly moved down to stand on my toes, just to try and match his height.

His kisses felt different, addicting(even though he had kissed me for a few minutes).
I had to stop him, had to take back control.

With a slight push of my hands on his chest, energy exploded from within me. It blasted Lucian away, sending his body through the air till he hit the main door, knocking it down with him.
Oh-oh!

How he got up and dashed at me in the lightning speed amused me. I just felt his hand on my throat, squeezing the life out of me.

"You think you can challenge me?" Lucian rumbled as his red eyes took on a dark bloody glow.

"Luc-st-sto-" I choked, my entire body pulsing in pain.

The air was suddenly charged with a familiar energy signature. Then it ripped open right behind Lucian. Out of the portal, a face I dreaded seeing jumped out with his staff in the air. He hit Lucian on the small of his back, resulting in a flashy white light, which sent the vampire to the mirrors on my right.
They shattered, shards flying all over the sink and on the floor just like Lucian's body.

He just laid there motionless, his face bleeding to the little cuts.

While the cuts didn't worry me as they would eventually heal, I was concerned about Apollo's lightning strike that had hit his body.

The royal guard went to stand over him, raising his staff to plunge it deep into Lucian's chest.

"Stop!" My mouth yelled before my brain could think.
What the hell was I doing? Wouldn't it be better if the damned vampire was dead?

Apollo looked back at me, his eyes were milky white without a stain in them. For some unknown reason, he was the only Syran whose eyes shifted to white and not purple.
"Must eliminate any threat to the future queen," he hissed.

"And I command you to back away!" I yelled.

The conflict in his face was too evident... But, he had no choice than obey me.

I unglued my body from the wall and walked to stand beside him. Gently, I took his hand. "It's okay, calm down," whispered stroking his knuckles.
Second by second, his eyes settled to their normal brown color, more lighter than his skin color.

"Let's go before anyone walks in here," I said with a smile.

There was a reason Apollo had been blessed with the power to wield lightning. He functioned different and that made him the best Syran in our world... But why was he in the human side and not protecting my mother?
