The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 38

Who is happy to see Erica's POV once again.

Erica's POV:

A particular smell woke me up. I gradually opened my eyes to see him in front of me. And I saw myself smiling at his handsome face.

Why the hell am I smiling?
Heavens what is he doing unto me. The way he worships me is not under control.

Every of his charm is working on me.

How gentle he is, his sweet words, his cheerful act, his hot voice and his handsome face has already started doing things to me.

It shouldn't. He's a vampire, my enemy and immortal I shouldn't have anything to do with him but I ... just but... but just why?

No matter your charms Steven. You shall die my hands.

Suddenly, he blinked his eyes opened.

"You like what you see," he cockily said.

"Stop daydreaming young man." I replied trying to get up but he pulled me down back to the bed.

"I don't want you to get up yet." He whined like a child.

"How bad. We should head back to your kingdom before any outrageous attack." I told him pushing him away and quickly stood up heading out of the room.

"Yeesh... we could have cuddled a little longer." I could hear his sweet whining voice coming from the room.

Steven you're something. It got me smiling a little.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

We now set out to find carriages which will head south.

I wore pants, shirt and boots just the way I want it. The dresses in his cupboard was inappropriate for me to wear.

Steven wasn't happy with me dressing in pants but he could do nothing.

So we walked along each other In silence enjoying the beautiful nature God created.

Suddenly he held my hands lovingly. I stared at both his hands and mine which were now intertwined and back at him. He smiled softly at me sending me a message to let it just be that way.

I said nothing nor restrain as I let his cold hand wrap my warm once. I did feel relaxed holding hands with him.

Maybe because we were alone and not in his castle.

"You know you're something else." I spoke my mind out.

"Oh really. Like what?" He enquired with a grin.

"I don't know. Can't lay a finger on it." I replied with a smile.

We walked close to each other sharing our likes and dislikes.

"I've always buttoned this within me Erica but I can't anymore and I truly understand it now." He told me with a soft smile.

I turned to face him in confusion. "What's that?" I curiously asked.

He also faced me with admiration in his eyes. "Erica I like you so much." He confessed.

Impossible! I almost voiced out.
No... it can't be. It's impossible. No!!!

A scowl appeared on my face as I tried snatching my hand away from his warm hold.

"You don't know what you're saying." I blurted out a bit annoyed.

Not understanding why? Why? Just why?

"No Erica. I swear I do. I truly like you. I just can't stand it when you're sad or alone or with another man." He convinced holding my hand a bit firm not wanting to let go.
