For Eternity II: Clandestine Preceding (Vampire! 2p! Italy x Reader)

Chapter Thirteen - The Evening After

        The evening following your night of passion with the youngest prince was peaceful to begin. You had woken up next to him. He was hugging you close to his chest so that your head was resting in the crook of his neck. Your hands rested against his pectorals as you snuggled closer to him. Luciano shifted in his sleep a bit. You felt that he was no longer inside you from yesterday's activities. This didn't bother you however. Well, at least for about ten minutes until you realized what had actually transpired between the two of you.

        You bolted up right in bed, the sheets slipping down to reveal your bare chest. You put a hand to your head and closed your eyes tightly. Thoughts rushed through your head, causing you to become dizzy. A pair of arms wrapped around your waist from behind and pulled you back down to the mattress. You tried to calm down, but you were finding it difficult to do so. Luciano placed a kiss to your temple before snuggling you again.

        "What's troubling you so early in the evening, cara mia?" he asked you in a whisper.

        You mumbled something so quietly that he couldn't hear you.

        "What was that?"

        "I just fornicated with you, the prince..." you whispered, your voice slightly trembling.

        "Bella?"

        "I sinned with one of the highest ranking men in the world... What will my parents say if they find out...?" You gasped. "What will the king and queen say?!"

        "(Y/n)!" That got your attention. "It's okay!"

        "Okay...? Okay?! We had sex, and we're not even married! And to top it off, you come from a family with a deeply religious background!"

        "I told you I was willing to sin to be with you. I will handle it if anyone ever finds out. You don't need to worry."

        "I'm still going to worry because I don't want you to get in trouble because of me... The king has already disapproved of me and never liked me in the first place. If he finds out, I'm done for..."

        "Like I said, if he finds out, I will take care of-"

        "LUCIANO TIZIANO AMBROGIO BASILIO VARGAS!"

        "- it... Fuck.. This isn't good... Cover yourself, amore."

        You nodded and pulled the sheets up over your chest and hugged them close to your torso. Luciano got up and quick pulled on a clean pair of drawers and breeches. The two of you could hear the sounds of angry yelling in Italian and loud footsteps coming from down the hall and rapidly approaching. The prince grabbed a poet shirt and threw it on haphazardly just before he slipped on some socks and his boots. No sooner had he stood up from putting his shoes on, the doors to his room were thrown open by Romulus, his signature scowl twisted into a grimace of disgust and disdain with his fangs poking over his lower lip as his eyes flickered between you and Luciano. Rema was close behind him, but she looked more frantic than angry.

        "You..." Romulus hissed as he settled his gaze on you, lifting a figure to make sure the you knew that he was talking to you. "You fucking harlot... I knew you were going to pose a problem in my family, and here you are in my grandson's bed... You've tainted this household and brought upon a great deal of shame to your family..."

        "Y-Your Majesty, I c-can explain..." you squeaked out as you tried to hide yourself more with the sheets of Luciano's bed.

        "I don't want to hear it!" the king spat before looking to Luciano. "And you... You've let yourself be charmed by this vile temptress and went against your religion! How do you feel knowing that your actions with that woman has shamed your family as well?"

        "I feel no different than I did before except that I now feel whole!" Luciano yelled. "That woman, (y/n), has filled the empty hole in my heart caused by years of loneliness and suffering!"

        "Well those years will continue! I am having a death warrant made up as we speak for the whore you've slept with! All it needs is my signature!"

        "Oh, Romulus, don't you dare ruin his happiness!" Rema pleaded.

        "Rema, I love you, but stay out of this! It doesn't concern you!"

        "My grandson, my own flesh and blood, doesn't concern me?! For God's sake, you were the one who threw upon him this task of finding a suitable bride by his next birthday, and he's finally found a girl that he's more than happy to with... Yes, he has sinned with her, but does that matter anymore if he is sure that she is the one he wishes to marry?"

        "Have you gone mad, woman?!"

        "Apparently so! I've married a raving lunatic who no longer has any compassion and love left in him, even for his wife!" Tears pricked her eyes as she spoke. "When you've found even a shred of either of those, you can talk to me then... I'll be sleeping in a separate room until then..."

        Rema ran off with her head in her hands, crying as she did so. Romulus called after her, but she continued to run away. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb, index, and middle finger with closed eyes. He opened them again and looked at you and Luciano.

        "This isn't over... Luciano, you are to stay in your room until further notice... And I want her out of the castle by the time I come back..."

        Romulus then left to run after his distressed wife. You were shaking in the prince's bed, clutching the sheets closer to your chest than you had been. You hadn't been scared of death before, but now you feared it. The thought of execution for fornication with the youngest vampire prince hurt you since you truly did love him. Being called a harlot and a whore didn't bother you, only the execution order did. It seemed to hurt Luciano as well. You could tell by the sullen look in his eyes as he sat down next to you. He pulled out into his lap and hugged you close, burying his nose in your hair. He rubbed your upper arm in silence as he let your cry into his chest, the tears flooding from your eyes in a constant stream of warm liquid. The silence continued to consume the room as the two of you tried to comfort each other before you had to leave. Who knew how long you'd have until you'd live to see your final night?
