The Vampire's Kingdom

Chapter 3: Slip-ups

~~The Next Day: Alexandria's POV~~

I stifle a yawn as the other maid, Lola, rambles about her extreme crush on the princes. Yeah, yeah, I think, mentally rolling my eyes. They are hot, I get it.

"I mean, girls literally throw themselves at the Waters. I remember last year- I think-, Ezekiel was tackled by a young girl that was set on marrying him. It took four of the kings guards to pry her off! Ha!" She laughs loudly, her obnoxious voice making me wince. I smile a bit so I don't seem too rude. God, she sounds like a witch the way she cackles.

I tune her out again and let out an inaudible sigh. Isaac is the dreamier one in my opinion. God, I would probably throw myself at him if...-

"If what?"

My eyes widen when I hear a husky voice whisper in my ear. I jump away from him and notice the maid smiling flirtatiously. I turn to angrily face Isaac. "A little privacy would be nice!"

"Lola," he walks over and takes her hand, kissing it and almost making the poor girl faint. "Would you mind giving us some privacy?"

"Sure thing, your majesty," she purrs and winks at him, walking out before I have time to protest.

"How are you today, love?"

He turns and faces me, a smirk plastered on his perfect face. "Me? Well, I'm still locked away in this room, for starters. I am also being held captive by a vampire and I am bored out of my mind. So, in other words, just freaking peachy."

A frown takes the place of his smirk and he sighs, taking a seat at the end of the bed and pouting. "Please don't say 'locked away'. It makes me feel bad."

"Well," I shrug, narrowing my eyes at him. "You are my kidnapper."

"Love, you must understand-"

I hold my hand up and silence him. "It's whatever," I say icily, sarcasm dripping from my words.

"I love it when you use that tone with me," he stands and walks towards me. I freeze as he pushes a strand of hair behind my ear. "Gets me going."

I push him away and look at him in disgust. "Um, ew."

"You know you don't mind," he grins and steps towards me again. This time I step back. "I can hear all those di-"

"Shush," I practically yell at him, darting forward quickly and covering his mouth. "Don't. Just don't."

I feel him smile right before he licks my hand. I pull my hand back as fast as I can, disguised, and wipe it on my pants. "Ew ew ew ew! That's nasty! I don't even want to know where your mouth has been!"

"We both know where it's going to be," he winks at me and I pretend to gag again.

"Sorry, but I'm not into the kidnapper-vampire type."

"Lucky me," he steps closer and I back up again only to run into the wall. I gulp nervously as he continues towards me. "I'm the sexy, princely-vampire type."

"Jee," I say sarcastically while trying to keep my cool. I blush and look down while trying to keep my voice from wavering. "Too bad that vampire part is still in there."
