The Vampire King's Pet

gold, a rare beauty

"He who is called the bringer of light,
Cast down from heaven because of pride.
His spawns bring misfortune and destruction
To the unfortunate souls of God's creation."

Kane's POV

After we had our talk in the study just last night, I had to go with Dean back to the council and sign some last minute papers the next morning. Some *cough* minor disputes happened which delayed things... ehem, so it was only until dinner time that I got to go back to our temporary home.

"Sarah?" I called out. I stepped inside our room, hearing splashing water. The door to the bathroom was ajar making the steamy floral scent.

A muffled yes sounded as I entered the bathroom. I glanced around until I found her in the bathtub. Her entire body was submerged underwater except for her head.

Perhaps water is not the right term. The liquid looked white instead of transparent and there were floating bits of rose petals. I inhaled deeply.

Milk.

Sarah sighed contentedly. "It's been a while since I've had a milk bath."

She fixed me her stunning emerald eyes and I grinned. "I'll tell Molly to prepare a bubble bath for you tomorrow."

Again, she breathed out a sigh of satisfaction, her hand leaving the bath and stretching towards me, beckoning me to her. The act of doing that raised her up higher above the bath making the top of her breasts visible.

I mentally groaned at the sight. I gulped and stepped forward, lacing my hand with hers. I held her hand as I sat on the edge of the bathtub.

"You spoil me too much, Kane."

I gave her a cheeky smile. "Anything for my Queen."

Her bright emerald eyes darkened to the color of a dense forest. She licked her lips and paused. Smirking, she said, "Join me."

~~~

I jumped down, making no sound at all as my feet landed on the soft grass. I crouched low and moved behind the tree.

I stilled, hearing noises in the house that I will be sneaking into. I leaned against the tree, my arms crossed. While waiting for them to quiet down, my thoughts went to my Beloved.

I was still mentally berating myself for ever leaving Sarah's side. After we had a round or two.... around 8, give or take.... in the bathroom and in the bedroom, she fell asleep like a baby. Her mouth, slightly open and she snored lightly. I spooned her to me for an hour until I got up and left. I'd give anything just to be back to her side and have her near me.

But I made up my mind. I had a goal and I'll be damned if I don't see through it.

"I can't believe you! I am your mate now. How could you look at her with-with.... How could you look at her like that?!?!?" A feminine shriek rang out.

If I were human, I would've yawned at the drama that is about to start. Boring. Pathetic.

Right. And who was the one acting all prickly and jealous when someone's Beloved was dreaming about her former lover just yesterday? Callum sneered.
