Enjoy!
*Two weeks later*
Two weeks had gone by since I had arrived in the mansion full of vampires and slaves and let me tell you something it's been quite an experience. I had began to befriend Ruby, Penny, and Annabella. They're actually really nice and it gives me someone human to talk to.
Lucien has been really kind to me and I've actually grown a bit attached and addicted to go presence. When he isn't around me I'm a bit agitated and anxious. Then he comes around and it's like weight is lifted off my shoulders. I can't explain it and it scares the shit out of me but its there and I don't know how to control it.
As of right now I was sitting in his room reading a book that ild taken from the library downstairs. It kept my mind occupied when Lucien had business and the girls were busy with chores. As I flipped to the next page I heard the door open but I didn't dare look up. The only person who came in here without knocking was me or Lucien and I'm right here. He shuffled his feet along the floor and over to his desk.
I decided to focus on my book and try to finish this chapter. As things got heated in my book I began to play with my hair and tap on my neck. This book was actually interesting I couldn't put it down. I felt the bed dip but didn't look up. I was to into my book to bother paying attention to Lucien. Maybe I should read more often.
"What are you teading?" He asked
'The vow" I said
He made gagging noises before flopping down on the bed with exhaustion.
"Hated that book it just didn't settle with me" he said
"Why?" I asked
"To romantic, to lovey" I stopped reading and looked at him.
He had his eyes closed and hi hands behind his head. For some reason it made my heart cringe when he basically implied he hated love. Why would that bother me? Eh whatever.
"I think love is amazing." I said
He opened his eyes and sat up on his elbows.
"Yeah why?" He asked
"Oh I don't know. I feel like love is that one emotion that can take you to your limits for that person. Makes you really feel and it may hurt you at times but overall it makes you happy and fills you with joy. It's something you can love feeling and someone you can't wait to see or who takes your breath away. Love is just magical and wonderful in any way'' I said
I suddenly shut my mouth and covered it with my hand. Did I really just brag about how amazing love is? And to Lucien? Oh Jesus Christ what is this world coming to?
He smiled and laid back down. Closing his eyes once again his smile didn't fade.
"Do you live someone right now?" He asked
"What?' I asked
"I said do you love someone right now?" He asked again
"No not since this invasion started" I said
His smile faded and he sat up all the way.
"You were in love." He said
''Yeah I was but then he turned into one of you" I said
His eyebrows dipped down a bit but he stayed silent and listened to what I had to say.
"Do you still love him?" He asked
"No. He would be completely different now we would both be completely different. I'm not the same weak girl anymore. I've grown stronger and thick skin. Only if I let you in my heart could you really hurt me" I said
I started to tear up but I held them back. I wasn't going to cry in front of him I wasn't going to.
"I really don't know what to say" he said
"There's nothing you have to say" I replied
"Actually there is"
I picked up my head and looked up at him. He seemed nervous and tense. He was shifting in his seat and he was trying to make eye contact but failed. When he finally made eye contact he too one of my hands in both of his.
"Maya, I..." He started
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He hissed with anger as we rose from the bed. He stomped on the ground with anger until he reached the door. He swung it open and glared at he person on the other side.
"What?!" He yelled
"Your father wishes for you and the slaves presence" the man said
"Does it have to be right now?? Lucien asked
"Yes. Your father said immediately" the man said
Lucien groaned but nodded and immediately the man retreated down the hallway. Lucien motioned for me to follow him so I got off the bed and followed behind him. He seemed annoyed and tense and the same time which I have learned wasn't a good combination for him. When we reached his fathers office u continued to stay a but behind Lucien. Lucien knocked in the door then entered the room.
His father was sitting at his desk typing on his computer. When he looked up he smiled at Lucien but have me a disapproving look.
"Please come in take a seat" his father said
Lucien walked to the seat and sat down with a sigh I went to walk around the chair to sit but his father gave a disgusted look which probably meant slaves don't sit in them chairs. I decided to just stand a few feet behind Lucien.
"What is it?" He asked
"You haven't been going to work for two weeks" he said
"Why do I need to work? Ill be running this place soon" Lucien said
"You need to take on that responsibility you can't just NOT go to work" his father said
Lucien sighed and rubbed his temples, obviously very annoyed with his father at the moment.
"You will start work again tomorrow. You're lucky they haven't fired you"
"I'm the soon to be king, they wouldn't fire me" Lucien said
Lucien stood up and made his way to the door.
"One more thing. You will take the space with you. I don't want that roaming around my castle be itself" he said
Okay, now that hurt. I wasn't even a person now, I was a thing, an it. I saw Lucien's jaw become hard but he turned away from his father and walked out if the room. Before I could walk out his father stopped me.
"Slave" he said
I turned around to face his father.
"I want to speak to you for a minute'' he said
Lucien came back in to retrieve me but his father stopped him.
"I need to speak with her for a moment. You can leave Lucien I won't hurt her" he said
Lucien leaned close to my ear so it was barley touching.
"Scream if you need me" he said
He then brushed his lips against my cheek before leaving the room. He closed the door and I made my way towards the desk.
"I want you to stay away from my son." He said
"Excuse me?" I asked
"Don't go near my son again. You're growing feelings for him and we both know that's forbidden. Anyways, do you really think someone like my son could care for someone like you?" He asked
I shifted a bit before I looked up at him in fury. How dare he speak to me this way.
"Okay listen up leech cause I'm gonna say this once. I'm not a thing or an it a person and you're son is a kind man who I've been getting along with fine. I don't care who you are don't order me around like a dog'' I said
Well that felt good. I felt the pride build up in me for standing up for myself. His father had the death look written all over his face. It then hit me that I just said that to the king of vampires. I just called the king of vampires a leech. Oh god help me.
He walked around his desk until he was right in my face.
"You really spoke that way to me?" He asked
I kept my chin high. I wasn't going to back down now. But he did something that scare the shit out of me.
"I like that" he said before crashing his lips to mine my eyes went so wide I thought they'ld pop out of my head. I went to pull away but he grabbed the back of my head and kept me there. That's when I started struggling. I wiggled and kicked but nothing seemed to set me free but he only pulled my closer. I tried to scream for Lucien but it was muffled and now very affective. Suddenly his hands started the try to inch their way down my pants. I bit his lip hard which made him pull away. When he did I kicked him in the groin and ran. I stung the door open and sprinted down the hall into Lucien's room. He was sitting on the be waiting for me.
When he saw my frightful face he bolted up.
"What's wrong?'' He asked in a panic
"Your father he... He'' i tried to say but Lucien understood
"He's dead" he said before he went for the door.
"Lucien no. If he knows I told you he will come after me please dont." I said
He sighed but nodded, knowing I was right.
"You are not to be left alone anywhere but my room again okay?" He asked
I nodded and he pulled me in for a hug. I was shocked at first but soon hugged him back. It felt good to he cared about by someone again and it felt good to he treated well, to he treated well by Lucien.
