Loved By a Vampire King

After they climbed up into the carriage, they both sat opposite each others. With a horse snarling, the carriage started running towards the west crossing the empty road.The lukewarm sunlight of afternoon was coming through the peepholes of entrance as Esme looked outside absentmindedly.

Little did she was sensing that a pair of mischievous eyes were scanning her figure occasionally. She tried not to blush but deep down her heart started beating abruptly.

This man has the charm to twist my heart within a few seconds. Damn it!

She cursed inwardly and tugged her long strand of hairs behind nervously.

Aaron watched his little movements amusingly as he chuckled lightly at her nervousness.

She pretends to be so hard in front of me but deep inside, she is fragile like waterdrop.

All the while, Aaron kept his intense eyes locked on her timid face teasingly and felt proud to marry this alluring beauty in front of him. Her appearance was so eye-catching that he wished to see her for eternity. She had no idea that how much it was tempting his inner demon.

Suddenly a murderous aura flashed in his eyes when he realised that how many men will ogle at her body which was rightfully him only. He couldn't help but started getting panicked over the fact that he shouldn't have brought her along with him.

Although everyone was his close friends just like brothers in the gathering but still they were men though and definitely would closer look on her.

It was too late to do something. They had already came half-way and couldn't send her back alone now. Thus he buried the possessiveness inside his heart and frowned his brows hardly.

Esme finally felt relieved that he wasn't eyeing on her anymore and looked outside through the peephole.

By the time, they were arrived, it was dawn as the darkness started engulfing the nature welcoming another cold evening.

Esme had no idea that how much time it took but judging at the dark sky, she assumed that they had come far away as it was still afternoon time when they left the castle.

Aaron came down from the carriage first and waited at the entrance. When Esme pulled out the red curtains, he found Aaron giving her a hand of helping.

Hesitantly, she put her hands in his cold palm as he hold it tightly somehow seductively as if he was caressing her white skin. She shivered a little and looking down, she stepped on the stairs for climbing down.

Much to her carelessness, the hem of her long sleeveless gown stuck underneath her fit and the next moment, she screamed as her body started felling down on the ground from the stairs.

Viviana quickly ran over to her but stopped mid-way. A long pair of hands wrapped her waist skillfully and embraced her whole body like a treasure.

Sensing the familiar scent, Esme felt relieved for a moment before lifting up her gaze and found his icy glare on her.

Aaron looked down on the beautiful face and asked with concern,

" Did you get hurt? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should I call the healer?"

Esme was out of her words after hearing him. His face seemed so tensed that her heart was moved as thousand feelings started circulating through her entire mind.

She shook her head slightly denying that she didn't need the healer and stared at his face dumbfounded.

Aaron averted his attention from her and shouted towards the guards and Viviana loudly,

" What were you doing standing there, you bunch of trashes!! What if I wasn't nearby and she fell down?"

His eyes shifted on Viviana viciously as he roared,

" Viviana, I appointed you to take care of her every second. What the hell were you doing standing there?"

Esme was alarmed when he heard mentioning Viviana. She understood that he was getting out of control and might be punished Viviana, Esme parted her lips slightly.

She spoke in soft tone,

" Your highness, I'm fine now. I was careless and slipped out of my foot. Don't scold them unreasonably. This has nothing to do with them."

Aaron looked down and found her pleading face. His anger subsidised a little as he replied,

" This is their carelessness for not taking care of you. After I take you inside, I will call any healer here to check your body. "

Esme shook her head denying and assured,

" No need, I'm fine. You're too exaggerating. Now put me down and go inside."

Aaron frowned and insisted,

" No, you nearly fell down. You might fall again. I will carry you inside. "

After saying, he started striding inside carrying Esme in his arms in a bridal style as she continued struggling,

" I said put me down. There will be so many people inside. What will they think of their king? You will be embarrassed by them. I can walk seriously."

Aaron frowned and replied with an overbearing tone,

" I will see who will look down on me for carrying my own wife. "

Esme was rendered speechless at his attitude and thought of keeping shut. There was really no hope of changing his stubborn mind.

When the guards admired them silently and devoted them calling made for each others, there was one person who was going insane gradually.

Vanessa almost cut her own flesh digging her long nails into them as her teeth gritted so hard that it could have been broken if it wasn't so hard. Her expression was sour and hateful. She trailed them off quickly fuming in anger.

When they reached at the entrance of the villa, Esme looked up and found it really lavishing.

Although the villa wasn't so big or giant like the castle but still it was rather spacious than any usual home. The outside were decorated with blossom flowers which was spreading sweet fragrance throughout the whole area. The noises of men travelled far away from indoor to outside.

Esme frowned looking at the nonchalant face which was intending to carry her in. She struggled and said with a threatening tone,

" Now put me down or else I won't go to visit with you ever. This is so embarrassing."

Aaron paused in his track and looked down at the bold face in his arms frowning in displeasure.

Esme pouted and showed her determined expression that she meant every words.He sighed and put her down reluctantly.

Esme smiled back triumphantly but the next moment, the man wrapped his bare hand around her waist affectionately.

Esme frowned as she heard him say a worried tone,

" Let me hold you. Or else you might fall again. Then you will end up embarrassing yourself."

Esme wanted to protest but then man quickly led her in.

As the couple appeared under the yellow light of the chandelier, they successfully snatched the spotlight.

The few men seated on the table turned their attention and immediately saw the king with his beauty.

Esme felt a little awkward after being the spotlight and looked around nervously. All the mean seemed young and playful as they all were busy at laughing and joking. She turned her face and only found the aloof look's of Aaron standing beside her like a domineering king.

One of the man in white ear, crinkled face lifted up from the couch quickly holding a glass of red wine and approached towards them excitedly,

" Welcome, Welcome Our King. We have waited too long to see your aloof face."

Esme twitched her lips holding the laughter of his words as he heard Aaron's cold voice leaving her waist,

" Edward !! You haven't changed a bit."

Aaron gave him a warm hug as Edward chuckled replying back,

" You too, my dear brother. "

Then Edward's eyes fell on Esme as he broke the hug quickly and asked excitedly,

" Brother, is that our sister-in-law? Oh my god, you have taken her in our gathering. Jeez, she is so beautiful."

Aaron's face fell as he bit his lips tightly and heard him say clapping his hands like a child,

" Hey boys, what are you doing there? Come over here. Aaron has taken sister-in-law here."

The other men on the table jolted and turned their faces excitedly on their way. One of them choked on the wine vigorously and hauled up himself quickly rushing over there.

They all flew over to them almost in a second and spoke excitedly glancing behind Aaron,

" Brother, Aaron did you really take sister-in-law with you?"

" You actually dared to marry her when we were not here. You should be punished."

" Brother Aaron, call her over here.We want to introduce ourselves."

Aaron frowned at their excitement still turned around and called out softly,

" Esme, come here. "

Edward coughed at the change of his tone and stared at her way tittering.

Esme walked to him elegantly and gave them a soft smile saying,

" Hello.. "

Edward talked first and replied,

" Hello sister-in-law, I'm Edward. Your husband's good friend. "

He turned his face and introduced the other briefly,

" And they are Dennis, Fenic and Leon."

They waved giggling and Fenic, the boy with brown eyes and jet black hairs admired truthfully,

" Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. Please take care of this little brother in the future."

In response, Esme smiled brightly and nodded but the man beside her stiffed and huffed complaining,

" Why my wife will take care of a big fat boy like you?"

Fenic gritted and replied huffing back,

" I'm not fat.. I'm just chubby. "

The crowd burst into laughter including Esme. Aaron gazed around and asked casually,

" Where is the organiser of the party? Did he go back to his library after leaving you all here?"

Then a voice came across loudly,

" The organiser is here, brother. "

Aaron and Esme turned around and found a boy smiling at them holding a book.

But as soon as the boy's green eyes fell on Esme's puzzled state, his soft smile disappeared instantly replaced with a downcast face.

He spoke in a low shaking voice,

" Serena!!!"
