THE SECRETS- I share with a Vampire

23. Plans

"Why didnt you say something? Why did you have to stop me?"

Lucifer kept pacing around our room in complete frustration mode.

The King has given me the time till tomorrow morning to get my ass out of the palace. Lucifer was not happy at all. He was going to argue with his brother but I stopped him before he could utter a word. There is no point of speaking about it any further. Dexter and Dylan did their duty as the rulers. I have no right to speak against them when I had nothing to say to defend myself.

When Dylan told her decision wouldn't change and I had to get out of the palace no matter what, Lucifer said he would leave too.

"Why should you leave the palace, My Lord? She is the criminal!" Ms. Shones spit out.

"Tone down your voice in front of me, Shones. You are in no place to question my decisions." Lucifer glared at her.

Ms. Shones backed off unwillingly. The whole council was staring at me. Some were angry, some unsure and the others were downright scared.

Dexter sighed, "If that is your decision then I wont stop you. Tomorrow morning...I want you both out"

There was no mercy in his voice. The stern tone told the discussion was closed and no other arguements will be accepted. When Dylan and Dexter exited the room, I was left with Julian and Lucifer with me. Julian made no comments. He simply stood with us, waiting for any of us to say something. None of us did. We just stood in the dark room as people began to exit out. The guards dragged Paul out while he threw insults and abuses at me.

I held Lucifer's hand to make sure he won't punch him in the face. The old man was clearly and genuinely worried for his daughter.

"Now...we can't do anything" I told Lucifer.

He stopped pacing and came to sit beside me on the bed.

"We can call for another council meeting and talk. Don't worry, I and Julian will do something-"

"I have nothing to prove my innocence, Romeo" I smiled at him, "I need to go"

"We are going then."

I shifted to face him, "Why should you be coming? They said 'forever' out of the palace, remember?" I quoted the word with my fingers in the air.

"Did I ever tell you what a dumbo you are?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

I shrugged, "No. Because I am not a dumbo"

"Yes you are" He leaned closer to me, "My Dumbo"

His lips met mine and his hands pulled me closer. I moaned against his lips and shifted to push him on to the bed and climb on top of him. This was not passion or lust. This was desperation and fear. I was scared of losing him. I wanted him to come with me and wanted him to not come with me at the same time. I do not want him to lose his family forever just because I was selfish and foolish to want him for myself. Lucifer deserves to be happy with his people.

The sound of my shirt tearing and falling to the ground happened exactly when I began to tug at his belt and Jeans.

And suddenly I remembered.

"We are out of condoms"

He pulled away and stared at me, his eyes dazed and hair ruffled.

"What?" He whispered.

"The one you used yesterday was the last!"

"You are not on your pills?"

I straightened and folded my hands to my chest, "Human contraceptive pills don't work on vampires. You are the one who told me"
