The Vampire Prince | Book One ✔ (Needs Editing)

A Lover | Chapter 15

The sound of creaking floorboards startled me awake. I peeled my eyes open and noticed Julian standing by the window. I glanced down and realized that I fell asleep in his bed after I cired.

I gasped and stood up but I stumbled into the nightstand.

"I-I'm sorry!" I tried to collect myself. Julian gazed at me curiously as I fixed my clothes and straightened myself out.

"I overheard you earlier and I just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. I don't plan to take your innocence so soon, It'll be less fun if you're expecting it." He smirked. I glared and took a seat on the couch.

"You're evil." I muttered. Julian sat beside me and chuckled.

"Hmm, I didn't seem to notice," He sighed and dug his index finger nail into my cheek. I winced and squeezed my eyes shut, "you seem to enjoy disobeying me, knowing very well how evil I truly am."

"I didn't disobey when you ordered me to kiss you." I whispered. He licked the blood that dripped down my cheek.

"I suppose you didn't. It's definitely progress." He sighed. I met his gaze and frowned.

"Can I ask a question?" I licked my dry lips.

"Go ahead." He replied.

"How come my body gets hot and longs for you whenever you feed from me?" I mumbled shyly and instantly felt the heat rise to my cheeks.

"Ah, I see. The reason why you feel that way is because Vampires can make you receive pleasure depending on the circumstances, it's a little hard to explain but to sum it up, you feel pleasure when I want you to." He smirked and tapped my chin.

I sighed and slumped forward.

"Please don't force me into anything." I pleaded and met his gaze. He raised a brow and tugged my hair.

"I'm not stupid, I understand the way woman feel. I won't force you into doing indecent things unless you beg me for it, or disobey me." He chuckled.

"I won't." I muttered.

"Oh, you will. Until then, I plan on playing with those feelings of yours," He nibbled on my ear and nicked my skin with his teeth, "oops."

He licked the blood and held me while I tried to squirm out of his reach.

"I'm hungry!" I blurted. Julian hesitated and sighed.

He stood and vanished. I quickly placed my palm against my chest and felt my racing heart.

He wasn't going to give up, he wanted me to submit my whole being to him. He planned it from the day he met me and realized that I couldn't be broken so easily. He wanted to break me.

Julian returned with a plate of eggs and bacon. My mouth watered as he set it on my lap and crouched in front of me.

"Go on, eat." He placed his large hand on my knee and watched me curiously.

I hesitated for a moment and forked the food into mouth. I groaned while I tried to savoir the flavor.

"It's really good," I smiled, "can vampires taste human food?"

"Not at all, it's just a habit for us." He admitted. I nodded and swallowed my food. Julian gazed up at me and inched closer, my body tensed and I fought the urge to flinch away.

"W-what?" I asked.

"Why is it that Stark has secret meetings with you?" Julian growled. His mood shifted quickly. I frowned and dropped the fork onto the bed.

"I don't know what you're talking about—" I began.

"Don't lie to me!" He yelled and shoved me into the soft mattress, "I've been watching and listening, I'm not a fool."

"N-nothing! I promise! He pitied me and tried to make sure that I valued my life." I cried out.

Julian forced my hands above my head and continued to press me into the mattress. I glared at him and squirmed underneath his body.

"You're lying." He hissed in my ear.

I gasped and accidentally brought my knee to his side. He chuckled and brought his free hand to my throat and squeezed.

"I-I'm not lying!" I gasped.

Julian watched me furiously while he continued to cut of my oxygen.

"Then act as my lover." Julian smirked and his green eyes were clouded with amusement.

"I will—" I choked.

Julian let go of my throat and brought his lips to my throat and pierced my flesh once again.

"Then let him hear you." Julian's hand traveled under my clothes as he fed. His cold fingers traced over my stomach. Chills ran up my spine and I unintentionally arched my back and giggled.

"W-wait, that tickles." I squirmed and tried to shake him off. My body began to heat again and the odd sensation filled me like fire that ran through my veins.

"This is his warning," Julian retracted his fangs and licked the drop of blood that spilled on my skin, "he's on his way up with Christian to deliver some news."

"Wait, what?" I gasped and sure enough the door opened and the brothers stood awkwardly with a piece of paper.

"Sir, your mother has requested your presence in her home town." Christian spoke.

Julian grinned and licked his lips.

"Prepare my ride," Julian demanded and they nodded, "and for you, Sam. I've had the maid prepare dinner for you for when I'm gone."

"Uhm—" I fixed my clothes and gazed at the floor.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you how it goes so be patient and enjoy yourself." Julian kissed my forehead and my body froze.

It was odd, seeing him act kind when in fact he wasn't kind at all. He was a monster that enjoys to torture others for fun. I gawked at him and he winked.

"Thank you," I smiled. They vanished together and left me to myself. I sighed and dropped my face into my palms, "what the hell just happened. He seriously just ordered me to act like his lover."

I groaned and gazed out the window. The moon hung high in the sky and lit up the dark. I rubbed my eyes and moved to the couch and brought my knees to my chest.

I wanted to attempt to escape but I already knew the maids were watching and waiting. Julian isn't stupid enough to leave me unattended.

What is it that he wants from me other than complete obedience? Something was off, It felt as thought I was missing a piece of a puzzle.
