Chapter 13 - Improvise and adjust

Me:" It was strange to The General and to Robert that I seemed to be immune to Robert, the weeks that followed was filled with research, debate and assumptions. Even though I was angry with Robert, I let it go because I also wanted to know why I was different, seemingly the first person ever to be immune to the powers of a vampire.

One of the theories that arose while we had yet another discussion, this time in Roberts room, was that maybe I was only immune to Robert, but not to others. I did after all fall for Pierré and he was only Vamparic not even a vampire.

The General suggested that we conduct an experiment where another vampire bite me and see if I would be immune towards that vampire. Robert listened to The General but was not thrilled about the idea. I belonged to him and he did not want to be in a position where he could posibly lose me, if another vampire bit me and I wasn't immune, I would become Vamparic and my loyalty and desires would be towards that vampire.

The General agreed the situation was not desirable and that it was too risky to let another vampire in on what we knew. It would put all our lives at risk, but when The General suggested that he bite me, and if I did become Vamparic, I would still be around and still be there to protect Robert.... Well, needless to say Robert completely lost his shit.

Robert became so angry that he got physical with The General. The General could have easily beat Robert's ass but because Robert was the King, The General just took the beating, just occasionally blocking to protect himself.

I felt bad for The General, what he suggested made perfect sense to me. Robert was just being jealous and possessive. He wanted me to himself and that gave me an idea on how to defuse the situation, The General was my friend and I didn't want to see him take a beating, especially one where he could not fight back."

I yelled at the top of my lungs for Robert to Stop. Both Vampires froze at my sudden outburst as I was completely quiet up to that point.

Me:" Robert, what if we tried it again?... You were in a weakened state when you bit me and you had poison in you... Maybe that's why it didn't work."

Robert walked away from The General, he was calmer and I could see him thinking about what I said. At least my plan worked and he was not going at The General anymore.

Robert:" That doesn't explain why my seduction doesn't work on you"

Me:" Well maybe you're just not as good of a seductor as you think"

I said it without thinking, the words were out before I could stop myself. The General also couldn't help himself; he gave a loud snort in amusement but quickly stopped himself from bursting out in laughter because Robert was fuming.

Robert yelled at The General to get out and The General obliged but not without giving me a sympathetic look. We both knew I was in deep shit. The General closed the door behind him leaving me alone with Robert.

By the time the door closed Robert was already in front of me. He grabbed me and in a quick effortless motion pinned me against the wall, his body pressed against mine and his hand around my neck. He wasn't squeezing, he wasn't even hurting me, he was just holding me in place, enforcing his authority or wanting to instil fear, but that wasn't really working.

Robert: "Don't ever humiliate me like that again, are we clear?"

I wanted to laugh at him but I didn't mainly because the way he held me did something unexpected to me, something I wasn't prepared for and I hated myself for it... I felt aroused. My lips parted to answer but I couldn't, my breathing had deepened... Robert picked up on it and he gently squeezed my neck causing me to close my eyes and softly moan against my own will. I thought it was too soft to be heard but Robert did hear causing him to raise an eyebrow.
