Vampire King Apollyon
The Ivory Tower
+++++++++++++++++
The Vampire King had dematerialized into thin air to get back to his Empress only to find her dead.
Red silk sheets puddled around the Empress' hips, baring her slender legs and her exposed breasts.
A man couldn't look upon such legs and not envision them wrapped around his hips.
Her areolas were on full display, beading when the cold breeze from the ivory tower's small window entered their space.
Even if it was an inopportune time to even divine such sensual thoughts when he wasn't certain if the Empress was alive, Apollyon fought the urge to feel arousal as he tugged the blankets on top of her body to shield her from his gaze.
