I gritted my teeth.
No. That will not happen. I will make Phinova behave.
Seraphine quirked her brows. “Nai, are you okay?”
I turned around and slipped into her mind.
I am fine, little queen.
She went over to her gown and picked it up. “You look scared.”
I shook my earlier thoughts away and responded to Seraphine.
What we just did. . .that was unlike anything I've ever experienced.
A wicked smile spread across her face.
I raised my eyebrows and probed her thoughts.
Then, my sex must be pretty awesome.
Chuckling, I walked over to her.
She blinked. “Did you hear that?”
I did.
I leaned forward and kissed her.
And you are correct. I wish I could say more words, but. . .your pussy has left me speechless.
Seraphine's face beamed. Then, she yawned, telling me that she was exhausted.
Meanwhile, I was more than energized after drinking her blood and being inside of her.
I made a note to be careful with her in the future. Since my first forming the blood bond, my power had been steadily strengthening her.
However, Seraphine would still need her rest to truly metamorphose into the powerful queen that she would soon become.
I grabbed my pants and slipped into her head.
We should finish with dressing and then get back to our sleeping quarters.
Seraphine rubbed her eyes, fighting the sleep that was trying to descend upon her.
I smirked.
There is a lot to do tomorrow.
Yawning again, Seraphine brushed down the front of her gown. “What is tomorrow?”
You will see, my little queen.
I took my time putting my clothes back on. Meanwhile, plans buzzed in my head. There was so much to do.
My soldiers must understand who she is, so I don't harm them.
Due to Seraphine's healing blood, I had delayed getting Phinova. Now it was time to return to the reason I had come to the mages' territory in the first place.
Tingling sparked in my throat. This had been happening a lot tonight.
For a century, the echo of my own voice had become a forgotten memory, causing my gestures to serve as words and my expressions to carry the burden of emotions.
Always I spoke in everyone's heads, expending enormous amount of energy and constantly balancing between the line of frustration and acceptance.
And now. . .I will be talking again.
A silly smile spread across my face.
For that, my second queen will always have more of my heart.
Seraphine watched me. “How do I go into your mind and see your thoughts? Will you teach me?”
My smile left.
Fear shattered my excitement.
You do not want to ever do that, my queen.
She leaned her head to the side. “Why not?”
Because. . .a vampire king's mind can be a desolate place of darkness and horror to his queen.
She hugged herself. “Why?”
Because. . .
I swallowed, trying to find the proper way to explain.
Because the thoughts that I would have about you will be terrifying and give you nightmares.
She blinked. “Give me an example.”
I picked up the leather hooded cloak off the ground and put it on.
Do you remember the cage that I put you in?
She frowned. “Of course I do. That is something I will never forget.”
That cage is a sweet children's fairytale compared to how I truly wanted to keep you close to me.
At that small confession, the true image of what I had considered rushed to my mind.
Next to me, Seraphine lay naked on my bed with her arms cut off to her elbows and legs sliced off to her knees. Red lace corseted the ends of each stump in a cruel vision of beauty.
There, my queen was unable to run, and it would be impossible for her to move her hands to incite a spell.
Yet, her stomach was swollen with my babies.
And there I would be able to pierce her with my fangs and fuck her dripping exposed pussy as much I wanted, never sleeping or stopping to eat. Constantly feeding and fucking my queen.
Seraphine disturbed my thoughts. “What did you want to do?”
I shut the vision away, sealed it behind my mental walls, and slipped my response into her mind.
A queen should never know her king's depraved thoughts of her.
She frowned. “Why not?”
Because it would make you run.
My body tensed. After what we had just shared, the idea of Seraphine escaping me was beyond unbearable.
I targeted her with my gaze.
And it would never be wise to run from me.
Seraphine's heart hammered in her chest. She inched back.
A wave of regret washed over me. My words had not been meant to frighten her, but to shield her from the full force of my possession.
I stepped forward and leaned her way, placing my face only an inch from her.
I'm sorry, my queen.
Our lips met with a fire that blazed through my body and rattled my bones.
Slipping my tongue into her mouth, I poured my entire soul into that kiss, desperate to convey the depth of my passion, the intensity of my need for her. I prayed to Ambi that this gesture could help her understand what she meant to me—how much more important she was than the ravenous hunger that clawed inside my chest.
