Loved By a Vampire King

His red eyes searched for the answer staring at her face while she was quivering at his gentle touches.The man was looking intensely at her perplexed face as if he could see through her mind.

Esme stared back at him, shivering a little deep inside and felt quite pressured hearing his demanding question.

Her death silence was making him angry and helpless at the same time. He still didn't leave the ounce of hop and stared at her face hoping to hear an affirmative answer.

At least, he will console his broken soul telling that someone loves him in this world.

When Esme didn't find a way to escape from his hard glare, she lifted up her eyes slightly only to find a pair of emotion filled eyes.

Even though he didn't speak up anything, Esme felt a loneliness, deep pain inside his eyes.

In her terror, she asked herself one time,

Can she really love him?

She didn't get the awaited answer asking her heart. Perhaps she never felt the emotional side of her own.That's the reason she hated and feared to face her own feelings.

Aaron left a long sigh on her face and smiled at himself bitterly. He was destined to not having love in his life.

The little girl looked so frightened and fragile under his embrace as if she would melt into the water anytime.Thus he could only leave her body and got down from her reluctantly.

Esme felt a sigh relief but a slight frown appeared on her face recalling his dull face.A curiosity of knowing him suddenly sparked in her mind.

The she heard him say lying beside her and staring at the ceiling,

" Sleep! I won't do anything to you until you accept me. You can try trusting me."

Esme pursued her lips together tightly. Turning around, she quietly laid down showing her back.The fiery kisses lingered in her mind clutching the bedsheets as her face blushed profusely.

The misty scent of his mouth was still in her lips causing her heart to beat violently.

Then a proud yet mischievous voice echoed in her eardrums,

" Don't think about my kisses in your sleep.I know that you loved it. I'm so professional on that.I can teach you more if you want."

Her mouth fell open in awe because of his filthy mouth and shameful words.She turned back, flipped the middle pillow on the bed and hit him playfully scolding,

" Bastard, who loved your kiss!

It's you who initiated the kiss, not me."

Aaron spoke pretending to be innocent,

" So you were upset about the fact that I didn't go all the way. You don't have to be so shy. All you need to do is just ask."

Esme "...."

Esme gritted her teeth in anger.She bounced up suddenly and glared at the man beside her hard hatefully speaking,

" If you use your filthy mouth again, I'm going to beat you.. Believe me or not.."

Aaron stared her in amusement. For the first time, he had seen his wife's playful side especially when she blushed like a red tomato for him. Her long eyelids tremble vigorously when she gets nervous but pretends to be calm.

Aaron replied chuckling softly,

" Try me. I won't mind at all if you beat me.. somewhere else.."

Esme " you...."

She couldn't wait anymore. Picking up the small pillow, she threw hit on his chest hitting continously gnashing her teeth in anger.

This damn man was always embarrassing her saying those shameful words.

Aaron laughed so hard and louder that the guards standing outside of the room looked at each others blankly.

Did they just hear their lord laughing so loud?Since when did he become so playful?

Aaron let her hit him as much as she wanted. At meantime, he enjoyed her slightly blissful face and smiled silently enduring her beatings.

She was becoming liveable slowly and he was loving that!

Suddenly he hold the pillow with one hand in the mid air and Esme paused at her action regaining her sense.

Was.. was she just hitting Aaron all the while?

Esme's face turned black in fear and wanted to take back her stretching hand quickly.His eyes dimmed at her fearful face.

In a swift, he again pressed her down on the bed whispering beside her ears,

" I just realised that my wife wasn't satisfied with my performance. Let me kiss you more then."

Esme's eyes went wide open in shock protesting anxiously,

" No.. let me go.. you.. mmm.."

Before the words could leave her tongue, he blocked her lips with a hungry kiss once again.

Bathing in moonlight coming from the window, the kiss lasted so long until Esme was suffocating in lack of airs.

At the same time

in HUMAN WORLD,

Most of the apartment's lights went off indicating that the midnight fall down finally.Ethan was waiting at the discerned lakeside glancing at his wrist watch occasionally.

His brows were knitted together annoyingly and a slight gust of anger appeared on his face. He watched the dim city lights sternly and realised his mistake for agreeing with the crazy girl.

She is already careless at the first day of their mission!

Shortly after, a hastily footsteps buzzed in the quite street breaking the silence behind thus he turned around and found the awaited girl panting heavily.

Before he could scold her hard, Athena admitted her wrongdoings fast and apologised quickly scratching her head,

" Err.. Master, I'm sorry for being late.I was stucked in a personal problem.. hehehe.."

Ethan gave the girl a disbelief glare and added walking towards her,

" I just shouldn't have agreed with you."

Ethan was alway very dutiful and punctual person.Due to his harsh training since childhood, he had become a calculative person.

Athena pouted placing her palms on her waist and spoke,

" Hey, we agreed to help each others. It's not that I'm having benefits only. "

Ethan sighed at the thought of finding Esme and nodded before speaking gazing at her,

" I know. Let me teach you some moves first. Then we can search for our sister around the city."

After saying, he started walked forward.But Athena grabbed his hand from behind and replied in a concerned tone,

" No. My lessons can be late. We should find your sister first. She might be in danger."

Ethan looked back silently and felt warm inside his heart.

Didn't he hear that vampires don't have any emotion? They can only be ruthless to other people.

Athena diverted her attention on her hand and awkwardly took it. She continued asking curiously,

" By the way, master, you didn't say your name or your sister's name? "

Ethan looked down sinking in his thoughts for a while and replied in a low voice stammering,

" My name is Ethan.. and my sister's name is..Serena.."

He didn't want to put Esme in danger again revealing her sealed identity.After so many sufferings, she really found a peaceful life in human world. He didn't want to give her another truma of being abandoned by her own family.Thus he could only reveal the half truth. He didn't mention their surnames nor did he revealed Esme's real name. Serena was her nickname given by her brothers as she was the most beloved only sister of them. In this way, It could save the situation from both sides.

Athena nodded her head understandingly.

Smiling brightly, she introduced herself stretching her hand for shaking,

" I'm Athena..

I am at your service from now on."

Ethan smiled faintly and took the stretching hand in his palm.

After finishing their introductions, Athena gazed around and asked curiously,

" So, master.. where do you want to search first?"

Ethan looked up and spoke staring at the empty street,

" We will start from the bar first. I do have a feeling that I have missed out something."

Athena nodded, shifted her gaze on his face and spoke seriously,

" Let's go there, then. "

Ethan nodded and stared back at her eyes.The two figures walked side by side through the empty road.

BACK TO VAMPIRE WORLD,

A woman wrapping a shawls around her body was climbing up a wild mountain amidst the half darkness. Her paces were quick and fast as she seemed to gaze around occasionally. Her eyes were flickering with a sense of panick and fear as she took her every steps cautiously.

Pushing away the wild bushes annoyingly, she continued walking forward until her eyes saw a familiar figure vaguely.

Soon after, she approached near the figure who was standing under a giant tree and spit out scornfully,

" Why did you summon me here? Do you know that how much I was horrified to leave the castle?"

She hissed angrily falling off her veil and continued scolding,

" I can't be lucky always to sneak out from the castle everytime. Moreover Queen Mother is a very cunning woman. I can't let her find about me until I achieve my goal. Don't call me

every.. "

" I have found the man", the figure in black hoodie spoke shortly interrupting her words.

Vanessa's words were stuck in her tongue. Next moment, her face beamed happily as she spoke stammering holding her immense excitement,

" Where is he? Did you take him here?"

The figure shook his head slightly and Vanessa's face changed into a gloomy expression.

She spoke slightly frowning,

" Then why do you call me here? To see your trash fresh or to hear your chitchat?"

The man lifted up his hand indicating to stop and spoke shortly,

" Name the antidote. I will pass it over you."

Vanessa was a little taken back. Her eyes flashed with a sinister smile as she nodded gazing at the man deeply. Her lips formed into an evil smile.

The crows above the tree flew away fearfully after hearing a loud groan from the jungle nearby.
