Closer to my Beloved's Heart

Chapter Two

I decided to maybe have a little walk around the courtyard because I was getting cold just sitting on the bench. I stood and walked to a large tree a little ways before me, where I stayed for a while. I didn't want to be here as I yearned to leave but I couldn't desert Jay.

This was the time she had with her king before they were married. I knew it would happen sooner rather than later because they didn't want to be separated like they had to live like now. I was truly happy for them, truly, but I was lonely. Truth be told, I craved a man. I craved the life Jay now led.

I glanced up at the stars once more then decided that I'd better get back to the ball before Jay had a chance to worry about my whereabouts. I sighed then stepped away from the thick trunk of the tree I was behind when I saw the Vampire king at the entrance of Glenn's palace.

He was leaning a broad shoulder against the door frame with both hands shoved into the pockets of his suit pants. He was staring at me so intently that I blushed, beside myself.

He was the most handsome male I'd ever laid my eyes on. His beautiful green eyes never wavered from me and I couldn't help but to blush crimson as I boldly studied him. He wore black and purple; some Vampires only represented black or purple, not both, but with him being a Novel One, he combined both colors. Since he was a Vampire, both colors suited him perfectly.

He looked like a tall fallen Angel. His black and purple shirt was taut across his massive chest as I itches to trail my fingertips against it. Along with his long black suit pants, a black trench coat hung down to his ankles.

How did he find one to fit his huge frame? Custom made, no less. I thought. He looked like he stood nearly seven feet tall and I felt instant fear of him. And yet curiosity ran high within me as my eyes continued their intriguing journey.

He had a lovely physique from his shoulders that tapered to his waist in the shape of a V. His legs were like a stallion's and I betted his chest and biceps were to die for. His belt buckle was of a capital T with two nails crisscrossed behind it.

I had heard that this Vampire was lethal when it came to battle. I had heard other factions talking about how ruthless he was when he fought. He was also powerful so that was a feather in his cap, so to speak.

He had long auburn red hair that was in a neat braid that rested against his back. My fingers itched to unbraid his hair and run through his long hair, making me wonder if it was as silky as it looked. His auburn goatee was neatly trimmed as I loved facial hair on a man.

Atop his auburn head was a beautiful blackish silver crown with large black and purple jewels adorning it. It made me wonder a silly question as to if it was heavy. His black leather combat boots completed the ensemble as my eyes remained wide, my heart racing...

He decided to stand in the doorway of the palace that led out to the courtyard and stared at the mysterious female intently. She was exquisite with her long jet-black hair that hung down to the middle of her back in curls, covering her shoulder and one of those plump grabbable breasts. His gaze remained on her chest as he briefly wondered how she would react to his large hands possessing them. Would she like it? Would she moan for more?

He shivered at the mere thought of it. Her hips were maddening, tapering off to thick thighs that beckoned him like the rest of her body had. Her lips were red like the petals of a rose, but her eyes were enchanting; a beautiful turquoise that seemed to glow in the dark. His heartbeat increased as all he could do was stare at this beautiful creature...

He looked like a tall fallen Angel with how handsome he was. His eyes were beautiful against the contrast of his slightly tanned face. His nose was straight as his lips looked sensual; full and uplifted. The bottom one was slightly fuller than the top.

Wait, his lips were uplifted? I blinked, coming back to reality and realized that I was still staring at this man. No wonder he was smirking at me!

He then started to walk towards me as all I could do was hide behind the large tree trunk until he found me...
