Chapter 8- Coming Out Ball

We spent the day talking like before and I found out all about his childhood and about how he was born a vampire. When we got back to the castle it was time to get ready for the ball. I was very excited. I had a lovely maid waiting for me and she cleaned me up before dressing me in a magnificent dress. It was a Scarlett red and strapless. The chest area was covered in real but small diamond and then there was a small gap at my waist where the silk was bunched together and then below that more diamonds until the corset reached the skirt. The right side of the skirt was all bunched up in different area and wrapped up to the left side of my waist whereas the rest of the skirt just flowed down. My hair was curled and placed up with tendrils hanging down and a small crown was placed upon my head. I looked beautiful. Drake knocked on the door and grinned when he saw me.

He was wearing a black suit with a red tie and a black shirt. He looked gorgeous.

“Ready my love?” he asked holding out his elbow for me. He had taken to calling me his love and every time he did it made me blush and I had butterflies in my tummy. I slipped my hand into the crook of his elbow and lifted my dress with the other hand so I didn't trip. He escorted me downstairs where the music was playing and then waited patiently. I heard the music cut out and then the guard announced us

“Presenting his Majesty Prince Drake and Announcing to the Vampiric Society her Majesty Princess Amalia” then the door swung open to reveal smiling faces of all the vampires in the kingdom. The kind was grinning as he sat on his chair with two empty seats next to him. Drake and I entered the ballroom and people bowed and we made our way up to the chairs. The King kissed my hand and shook Drake’s and then we were seated. Drake sat next to me clutching my hand in his. I watched in wonder as the vampires danced with such grace and poise. Then a slow song started and everyone cleared the dance floor.

“Shall we dance my love?” Drake asked. I nodded and he took my hand leading me to the dance floor. We were in the middle and he started twirling us around. I was only aware of Drake and the love in his eyes

“You look beautiful” he said

“You look handsome yourself” I whispered. He grinned and spun me around before bringing back to his chest. he kissed my cheek and we danced around the floor. He was a brilliant dancer. I closed my eyes never wanting this to end

“are you happy?” he asked suddenly. I froze thinking and then smiled

“Yes” I replied. he sighed and smiled. Soon everyone had joined us on the floor and Drake waltzed us outside.

We were alone and I took in the scenery.

“Amalia... my love...” he sounded nervous. I looked into his eyes and smiled before walking up to him. he gently wrapped his arms around me and looked into my eyes. He rested his head against mine and sighed

“You have no idea how I feel when I am around you. You don't know the affect you have on me” he whispered. I felt my heart beating wildly.

“It’s like I have no control over my actions and I want to give you everything you want” he said breathlessly.

“I’m beginning to feel the same” I whispered. He let out a shaky breath and then he gently pressed his lips to mine. The tingles set my body on fire and I wanted more. I moved closer to him and pressed my lips even harder to his. He groaned and bit my lower lip teasingly. I granted him entry and he fought with my tongue. I moaned slightly and he held me tighter. This was the best kiss I have ever had and I wanted it to never end. When he pulled away he was grinning with a twinkle in his eyes
