The Queen

6.

He opens his closed eyes and stares down at me. I didn't notice before, but tears are streaming down my face. He reaches out with his hands and places them on either side of my head. He uses his thumbs to wipe my tears away as he looks down at me. 

"Jin?" I ask as I stare up at him. 

"Yes...My Ella," he whispers to me. 

I can't help myself. I jump into his arms and wrap my arms around his neck and slam my lips onto his. He instantly begins to kiss me back as he wraps one arm around my waist and the other on the back of my head to keep me as close to him as possible. I've kissed a few people here. But this kiss is so much more different than the others. I can feel the longing behind his lips as he moves them with mine. I can feel the pain he felt when he thought I was dead. I can feel the relief at realizing it was me standing in that grand hall and that I was alive. But most importantly, I can feel the years upon years of love that he has for me. I was starting to give up on love. I was starting to think that this place would harbor nothing but misery for me. But here he was, the whole time. He has been here, waiting for me. 

He hovers over top of me on the bed, pushing me gently back onto it. Our kiss begins to turn passionate as his tongue collides with mine. I can feel the sharpness of his canines in his mouth and run my tongue across it to cut it. He tastes my blood and groans at it. He settles himself between my legs and I can feel his erection prodding through his pants. His hands begin to travel my body and when his hand rubs over my womb, I gasp and separate from him. 

He instantly becomes worried and looks me over to make sure I'm not hurt. "Ella baby I'm sorry, are you ok?" he asks as he scans my body. 

"Yes...yes I'm fine but...." I say and look away from him. Realization has hit me. A big part of the reason that I am here is sitting in my womb. And I feel guilty all over again. I have to tell him. 

"But what?" he asks as he tucks a lock of my long hair behind my ear to look at me. 

"There is another reason I was sent here......one that I think you should know about," I tell him as I look up at him. 

"What? Being forced to be a breeder and held captive by two of the fiercest Gods in the country isn't enough?" he laughs. He turns serious once he sees I don't laugh. He places his hand on my cheek as a tear rolls down it. "What is it, Ella? Just tell me," he says softly and kisses my cheek. 

"I'm pregnant..." I whisper and he goes stiff. His entire body goes rigid, and he drops his hand from my cheek. I turn to look at him and his entire face is in shock as he stares at me. His eyes travel to my womb and his eyes begin to glow as rage sets in behind them. 

"Was it forced?" he asks me in a deathly quiet voice. 

"No... but it wasn't wanted either," I tell him. 

He turns away from me and heads for the door in the room. I stick my hand out, "w-wait Jin!" I yell for him. 

He stops at the door and turns his head slightly. "I just need a minute, ok? I'll be back in a bit," he says to me and then he walks out the door and leaves me in there alone.
