Black Satin| Loving Alucard

Chapter 7| The Kings Hand Rion

I lay in Alucard's arms his face in the crook of my neck as I run my fingers over the skin of his hand a soft smile on my face. Memories of me with Adrian officially escape my mind as I lay in this beautiful man's arms. Alucard places soft gentle kisses upon my neck taking in my scent. I let out a deep breath of relief now in paradise.

"I can't stay much longer love! My subjects will wonder where I am" He lets out with a whisper. "But why would it matter?" I ask him sadness in my voice. A sigh leaves Alucard's body as I turn over to face him. Alucard wraps one of his large arms around me the other he's using his other arm to prop himself up. We look deep into each other's eyes now back to the regular gold color. We stare into each other's eyes a few seconds more before he leans in kissing me deeply.

"I promise I'll be back I'll send my hand in to coordinate your stay," He says as he gets up his porcelain skin shining gold under the yellow lights. I watch home closely as he dresses into some fresh clean clothes a white frilled top and a pair of tight black trousers. Alucard sits back down onto the bed slipping his boots on I wrap my arms around his muscular waist. Alucard sits there for a second and his hands meet mine the cold touch sending a shiver down my spine.

"If my hand does anything to you or any of my workers tell me immediately!" He says worry in his voice. "They don't approve of us even though I'm finally feeling happiness for the first time in a few hundred years," he says his head slightly turned to me in one he can't truly have feelings but the look in his eyes seems like slight sadness our fingers intertwined.

After a few more seconds Alucard stands and clears his throat he turns to look at me once more "I'll be back as soon as I can I have some important business to discuss." Alucard finally lets go of my hand "There is a dress set out for you over there if it's not to your taste check the closet I shall have some custom-made to your liking." Alucard at that moment finally goes to exit the room when he turns to face me "Don't open this door for anyone but my hand and maids you'll know if it's them" Then his silhouette disappears behind the door as he exits the room.

A quiet sigh leaves my body as I wrap a nearby silk robe around my naked body. After what felt like hours a knock rings off the large wooden door. I sit there for a second unsure of what to do when I hear a voice from behind the door "Hello miss! My name is Rion I am the hand of the king" he says quietly. I walk up to the door looking through a small hole in the door to see an average-height man it's blonde hair and ice-blue eyes his skin just a tiny bit darker than Alucard's.

I open the door as I do a slight smile forms on the man's face. The man walks in pushing the door open causing me to back up slightly as he then closes the door behind him. The sound of the door being locked rang in my ears causing my eyes to slightly widen. "Alucard's right you do smell delightful," he says as he smiles his fangs showing. A sudden feeling of fear runs through my body as I back away "I-I don't think locking the door was necessary" I let out quietly.

I watch Ron take a deep breath his eyes rolling into the back of his head "Mmm so he's already marked you" he says his eyes now glowing red. In seconds I'm pinned against the wall his hand around my neck "You girl don't understand how much trouble you're about to cause for the king!" He says a sly evil smile spread across his face. "I-I don't know what you're talking about!" I say trying to hide my fear, a growl leaves his body as he pushes me into the wall causing a small whimper to escape my lips. "Yes, you do! I killed you once a few hundred years ago and I won't hesitate to do it again!" A slight gasp leaves my body as I turn my head away from his foul gaze.

"I-if Alucard finds out what you've done he will kill you" I let out quietly anger flashes in his eyes. "A-Alucard? How DARE you call the king by his name!" He says gritting his teeth tears threaten to break through my eyes. "I-I don't even know who you are....I-I've only just met you" I let out my voice now hoarse from his violent grip upon my neck. What does he mean he killed me before? I've never seen him in my life!

Rion's nails dig into the skin on my neck I bite my lip to muffle the whimper that leaves my body from pain. "If you're not careful I'll kill you! And I'll be sure Alucard doesn't know it's me." He says finally letting go of my neck. "The maids will be up soon to bathe you if you tell them what happened here I will give you a slow painful death," he says glaring at me a slight bit as he turns to the door unlocking the door and exiting the room. I place my hand over the spot his hand had been wrapped around my neck "Blood..." I whisper walking to the mirror in the room to look at the wound. Dark purple bruises in the shape of a hand form on my neck as the blood from the wounds drips down the crook of my neck.

Please don't let Alucard see this he won't be happy! I say as the maids enter the room. From the looks on their faces, I can tell they noticed the spot the first one ignores the spot but the second maid can't help but stare. Thinking quickly I laugh nervously "Alucard can be a bit rough sometimes," I say plastering a fake smile onto my face. The maids look at each other for a second the smile.

"Uh yes of course," one says as they draw me my bath. "Alucard requested Lemongrass and Chamomile for your bath," the smaller one says. Lemon and chamomile? That's my favorite I wonder how he knew! After the hot bath is drawn and the salts and scents are put in I let out a sigh of relief as the hot steam and the wonderful smell relax me.

I lay In the bath after they changed the water from washing the blood and dirt from my body. My skin was now clean and smooth once more the sound of the door opening the sound startling me out of my relaxation. I sit up slightly seeing Alucard walk in It has been hours since I last saw him as the sun has set in the horizon. "Alucard" I let out quietly worry coarsening through my veins.

Alucard smiles as he walks towards the tub "How is your bath sweet girl?" He asks as he is now sitting by the tub. In fear of his reaction, I keep my head turned towards him to hide the bruises on the side of my neck. "I-it's nice" I let out trying to hide the fear in my voice. Alucard studies my face worry starting to form in his eyes. "Arista my dear, what's wrong?" He asks running the back of his cold large hand against my cheek.

I look at him for a second trying to think of a good lie but nothing comes to mind "N-nothing I'm fine!" I say noticing his worry grow worse. Alucard then notices the redness of my cheeks from crying "Have you been crying?" He asks shock on his face. I look into his eyes tears forming once more knowing I can't lie to him again I drop my head in sadness.

"Y-yes there is something wrong" I whisper looking up at him once more I turn my head showing him the bruises and cuts on my neck. Rage fills his eyes as he stares at the wounds. "Who did this to you?" He asks trying to hide the rage in his voice as I hide my face in my hands not being able to hold on to the tears any longer.

Alucard's face softens as he watches me cry he gently pulls my hands from my face turning my head to face him. "I'm not mad at you I just need to know who hurt you so it won't happen again," he says to me in a soft tone. Alucard leans in placing a gentle kiss on my forehead "I can't lose you again" he whispers running his thumb softly across my cheek.

I pause for a second before I tell him hoping he won't get upset again when I tell him. The memory of Rion's threat haunts my mind "I-it was Rion" I say hesitation in my voice. Alucard lets out a growl as he stands punching the wall behind him. I jump from fear as I duck my body starting to tremble "N-no please don't be afraid" he says to me sadness in his eyes. Alucard sits next to the rub again hugging me "You're trembling" he whispers to me.

"Alucard please don't do anything to him I don't want to be on anyone's bad side it's already bad enough that I'm here," I say to him in a quiet hushed tone. "Okay, I won't!" He says in agreement, his words ringing in my ears I sigh in slight relief.
