Rain pov.
I stop pacing back and froth when the Vampire from the table appears at the door of the guest room, or I guess it's my room, even if I've stopped using it. He stares at me with a small smile on his face, making me feel uneasy so I take a step back when he enters the room.
"There's no need to be afraid, pup." He assures me and my unease fades away. "Morgan has got herself into a lot of trouble finding you, though, I can't say either of you are to blame." I frown at his words.
"Stop calling me pup. I'm not a child anymore." I haven't lived more than a hundred years to be called a baby by a Vampire who thinks he's superior to me
"Oh, Rain, you've grown into such a spitfire. I thought your royal blood would naturally make you polite." He muses and I frown at him. Maybe being ancient is messing with his head.
"You're insane. Morgan is probably waiting for us, let's go." He holds up his hand to stop me, all trace of humor gone from his face.
"You will forget these words until the right time. I can't protect you both when you're together, Rain. I should have done something about it the first time I smelled you on her and now you've gone and spent a heat with her. There is a war coming, whether the expansion gets approved or not. A war is coming, and I need you to keep her safe, Rain. I promised her mother, just as I promised yours, and now you've both have gone and made a mess of things by being fated. Not your fault but it's still a mess." He rubs his forehead like he's scolding his wayward child.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." I tell him and he chuckles softly.
"Of course, you don't, and you won't, until the time is right. Just keep yourselves safe and forget this conversation ever happened." I blink twice and the Vampire is staring at me with a blank expression. "How long are you going to stand there for? Or do you only follow Morgan's orders? I said, let's go." He turns on his heel and walks away and I follow behind him, keeping a distance until we're in the dining room again.
"What took you so long?" Morgan asks, looking between the Vampire and me.
"I got lost." The ancient creature answers and Morgan scoffs. When I sit down next to her, I can smell the liquor on her breath, and I frown a little at her. How much wine has she had since I left the room?
"You live in a castle, and you expect me to believe that you got lost in one hallway? You don't have to be so stuck up all the time old timer. Just say you needed to feed. We get it." She huffs and the Vampire chuckles and stabs into his steak, laughing even more when he sees how rare it is. I only seared it for a couple of minutes on every side.
"Apparently that was a wasted feed. Your cook knows what he's doing." The table laughs but there's something wrong. Something I can't place my finger on but the whole dinner feels wrong. Luckily it doesn't last very long, and everyone leaves soon after, leaving Morgan and I in silence.
"What a load of bullshit." My little human mutters as she starts clearing away the table. "Rain, I need you to bring me your tablet." I nod, grabbing it from a drawer in the kitchen and handing it to her. I had used it to search what to make her friends and lucky for me, it worked.
"What are you doing?" I follow her as she leaves the room and walks into her office. I watch as she connects the device with her desk and soon enough, she's typing away as a bunch of zeros and ones appear on the floating screens in front of her.
"Damage control." She mutters, huffing as she highlights random numbers and letters grouped together before they disappear. "No more searching about behaviors, Rain. If you're curious about human behavior ask me, not the dark web. Stick to cooking video's, movies and bugs." She mutters, highlighting more and more things.
"What's wrong?" I frown, wondering why she wants me to stop learning all of a sudden.
"What's wrong is that the sector representatives were in our home tonight to try and take you away from me. What's wrong is that bullshit safety codes that I wrote and forgot about is biting me in the ass. You can't search about anyone's behaviors, Rain. Nothing." She insists and I nod, frowning at her as she works and then eventually unplugs my tablet and hands it back to me.
"Were they really going to take me away from you?" The thought makes me want to vomit. She cups my jaw and shakes my head.
"No one is taking you away from me. There will be hell to pay for anyone who dares." She promises, leaning up and placing a kiss on my jaw. "Let's go clean up and then maybe we can go for a swim." I nod, placing the tablet back on her desk before following her out into the kitchen. We work together to clean up, doing so in comfortable silence and when we're done, she sends me to go put on some swimming trunks.
I head back to my bedroom to go look for some. Finding them among the bunches of clothes Morgan had ordered for me that I've never gotten around to unpacking. I change into them quickly before going in search of Morgan. I find her standing in the middle of her bedroom, staring at herself in the mirror as she adjusts the straps of the blood red swimming suit she's wearing. The material only covers her boobs, pussy and her ass. The rest of the thing is thick straps connecting in overlapping patterns to make some sort of square design that looks like it's been painted onto her skin.
"Do you like it?" She asks, catching my gaze in the mirror. I nod, walking over to her, coming up behind her to wrap my arms around her. My hands travel all over her skin and I cup her heavy breast in my palms, squeezing them for good measure, and earning a soft moan from her.
"Do we have to go swimming?" I softly ask in her ear, kissing her exposed neck that she bares for me as I suck on the skin.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Mm...yes." She finally responds after a few minutes of me marking up her skin. She turns herself out of my arms and bounces over to her bed, grabs her towel and walks out of the room. "Come on. It'll be fun." I grin and follow behind her. I sure hope so.
