Love Bites (gxg)

Chapter 1

I rolled my eyes at my father, who also happens to be the scariest man on the planet. He is the king of vampires, and I'm his precious little princess. By far the weakest vampire in the world, the only benefit I've gained from him is the ability to drink blood and live forever. My father is on another one of his rants, saying how I can't engage in roughhousing with other vampires or whatnot. I honestly don't care; they may be strong, but martial arts can easily defeat their strength in a fight.

I love to fight; it's a true passion of mine. People always underestimate me because of my small figure and size. I'm barely five feet tall, but I can definitely hold my own.

"Are you even listening to me?" My father pulls me out of my thoughts. I roll my eyes at him and just nod. He sighs and puts his face in his hands, then motions for me to leave.

I sigh with relief; no more badgering for me today. I am beat. I sluggishly drag myself to my room. We live in a castle, considering my father is the king, and I am a princess. The rug is red and soft beneath my bare feet. The rails are gold and adorned with my family's crown, intricate and pretty. I have a strong feminine inclination when it comes to design and clothing.

Finally, I reach my door, where my butler, John, is standing beside it, awaiting my command. I yawn quite loudly before speaking.

"Could you please get me something to eat? Some beef or something."

He simply nods and bows before going down to the kitchen.

I drag myself to my bed, falling face first into my comfortable sheets. Sometimes I think this bed is too big for just me, but I do like to sprawl out.

I hear a knock on my door. "Come in!" I slightly yell with a crack in my voice.

John opens the door, holding the takeout box I love. He knows me well. I dislike eating like a vicious vampire; I prefer a more human approach. I motion for him to bring it to me, and he does.

The raw beef smells absolutely amazing; he even gave me a fork to eat it with. I give him a kiss on the cheek before he leaves. He knows I don't like being watched while I eat; he's so sweet.

I finish eating and leave the empty bloody container on my end table. I collapse on my bed and rub my eyes in sleepiness.

I wake up, and my eyes are extra blurry, the moonlight shining through my window, casting a soft blue shimmer on my skin. I sit up and stretch, feeling John next to my door, waiting for my command.

He peeks his head through the doorway and sees me. "Yes, princess?" I love that title.

I motion for him to come in, and he does, coming next to my bed.

"Did you have a good sleep?" He asks softly while rubbing my back. I must look like a mess, my hair all over the place.

I slowly nod my head and rub my eyes some more. My head relaxes into his chest as he holds me and rubs my back. I love this; he knows I'm very gay, but he is my best friend. Unlike me, he's one of the strongest vampires. He doesn't have to be a butler; he chooses to because he wants to take care of me. He would never hurt me, so I'm very vulnerable around him.

"Would you like me to prepare your bath?" He softly asks, looking down at my sleepy state.

I nod and let out another yawn, feeling my fangs stretch out and quickly closing my mouth. He sighs and just pats my head. "I'll be back in a second." And with that, he's gone into the bathroom. He's super fast.

I hear the bathwater running; he knows I like it hot and bubbly, and he knows I don't mind being looked at while I bathe. It's not like I have a partner, so it doesn't matter. It doesn't bother him, either.
