Dinner (GxG)

|Dinner 3|

10:09 pm.

I watch as my food, yet my mate, wakes up. How in the hell am I supposed to drink her dry? And why in the fucking fuck is this mere human my mate?! My mate ain't a weak, obedient and soft-hearted! She ain't human! My mate is the fiercest lioness with the gentlest touch. And this sleeping blood bag is anything but fierce!

Sighing my irritation I pace around, keeping my ears open for my mate's movements. With a soft thud I hear my bear falling on the floor. My mate scurries to the edge of the bed and hauls my teddy up before she hugs him again.

I stop pacing and stand before her, at the foot end of the bed. I look at her and take her in. She and teddy are facing me, teddy looking at me while she keeps looking down over his head. She has her chin laying on teddy's head, arms wrapped around his waist, him sitting on her lap.

It's an adorable sight.

I shake my head and walk over to her. She slightly cowers away. This display makes me furrow my brows. My mate shouldn't be afraid of me! On the other hand, am I going to accept her as my mate?

If I do, then I need to teach her a lot to become my equal, if I don't, then she needs to learn how to fulfill all my wishes.

With a grunt I decide the second option, she's not going to be my mate. I walk to the door and say harshly, "Get up and follow me." A sudden pang of guilt shoots through me as she scurries up and rushes over, still holding my teddy and keeping her head lowered. Letting her have my teddy is the least I can do, though it's just to sooth my guilt.

I unlock my room and open the doors for her. I step out and wait for her, but she hesitates. Then she holds out my teddy, gesturing to give him back to me. I shake my head and turn around. As I walk away I hear her closing my bedroom door before walking behind me, keeping at least a two feet distance.

Arriving at the servants quarters I turn around to face her. "Don't let go of him, nor let the others touch my bear," I whisper in her ear, somehow wanting to give her an almost impossible task. She nods and awaits further instructions. She'll make a good servant.

When I open the door the other servants look up. They hurry up their feet and bow to me. Even though I hadn't explained the rules they already thought of some themselves. Their fear is still in the air, but most seemed to have slept for a few hours. With a satisfied grin I grab my mate and push her forward. The split second I touched her felt amazing. The softness despite her skinny frame, the warmth, her silky skin, it all feels amazing.

"Listen up," I say loud enough for everyone to hear me clearly. "I've some rules you must abide." They nod, grunt or say 'yes'.

"1. You address me with 'my lady' not 'milady'. I hate that.

2. You pay your respect to every vampire in this household. You bow to us and greet us as we desire. Exceptions for the lesser vampires.

3. You never lie to me, or hide anything from me. When you've information for me I might need or want to know you request my attention immediately.

4. Each of you will get a colored collar to show the others you're my property and which function you have. I'll explain the colors later.

5. With the color comes a certain duty or chore. The rules will be explained when you receive your collar.

6. My wishes are your commands. My commands are priority. Even when a higher ranked vampire's command clashes with mine, you follow my orders. No exceptions unless told otherwise!

7. When I call for any of you, you come to me immediately.

8. Good behavior will be rewarded. I decide your reward, when you receive it and how.
