Curves For My Kings (Volturi Kings)

Chapter Ten

CHAPTER TEN

I shrug and without thinking about it I start to strip off the shorts and sweater I'm currently wearing making Aro curse and take a step back. I reach for the tank top and meet his eyes which have gone black with lust. I keep my eyes on him as I slowly pull the material over my head, covering my chest from his view then I do the same with the leggings and cardigan, making sure to button it for a little more coverage.

"Do I look okay?" I ask, looking down at myself with a frown.

Aros' finger finds my chin and lifts my head up as he says, "You are beautiful no matter what you wear. You are a queen, my love. Keep your head held high."

I smile brightly at him and give him a tight hug then grab his hand and head back out to the bedroom where Marcus is waiting with a patient look, now draped in his cloak.

"Marcus!" I yell and leap at him causing him to catch me in his arms.

"φαίνεσαι όμορφη" He murmurs quietly and I'm not sure if I was meant to hear it. ( you look beautiful)

"γλυκό μου άνθρωπε" I say back, causing him to laugh quietly. (my sweet man.)

"When were you going to tell us you can speak Greek, my love?" He asks, caressing the side of my face gently.

"The opportunity never presented itself. I was raised speaking Greek. I can read it and write it too. I suppose now that I'm living here I'll have to learn Italian." I shrug, not realizing what I had just implied until Aro speaks up.

"You mean you'll stay with us?" He asks, and I turn to see him gazing at me with hopeful ruby colored eyes.

I tilted my head, realized what I had said and blushed bright red, "I-I mean I can. I m-mean if you wanted...I don't have to...I-I can.."

Marcus wraps his arms around me, squeezing me tight to hush me and says, ''Nothing in this world would make us happier than you keep you by our side for eternity."

There's a knock at the door before we can talk further and Aro calls out, "Come in!"

The young, blonde girl, Jane, steps in and bows slightly then says, " Afton, Santiago and Chelsea are all ready and waiting in the throne room, with Master Caius, as instructed."

"Thank you, Jane. I appreciate it." I reply to her, offering her a smile.

She looks shocked for a second before returning the smile, bowing again and leaving the room as Aro waves her away.

"Are you ready, cara mia?" Aro asks, offering me an arm.

I nod and hook my own through his, "Yes, as ready as I can be."

Marcus leads the way, gliding elegantly through the halls with his cloak billowing gently behind him. I mentally compare him to Professor Snape in my head as Aro and I follow close behind him.

When we reach the large double doors of the throne room, the guards open them and we step inside. My eyes instantly find my blonde mate who is standing in the center talking to three people I have yet to meet.

As I step in his head whips over to me and I smile at him. I release Aro's arm and run toward Caius who is waiting with open arms. When I reach him, I bury my face in his chest and inhale his scent, releasing a contented hum.

"Come, il mio piccolo fiore, I'd like to introduce you to your uncle's guards." Caius says, pecking my forehead and pulling away.

I turn around to face the strangers with a bright blush on my cheeks making them all smile at me.
