Chapter 4~ Dawn

Brianna woke up with a jolt, the dream she just had was more vivid than usual.

She looked around the dark room she was in, only one torch was lit with black candles.

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she felt cool wind blow past her face, she looked in the direction the wind had come from and realized the transparent doors of the balcony were slightly ajar.

She climbed down from the bed, her thighs pressed together in the process creating pressure at her already aroused core, she gasped loudly, her hands flew to covet her mouth immediately... How could she make such unladylike sounds, she wondered what was happening to her.

The dream she just had was the most vivid she had ever felt, it was almost real, except it did nothing to quench her arousal, it only increased it further.

She took a few steps towards the balcony but stopped when she saw the tip of Virgil's white shirt swaying with the wind, he had undone all the buttons, leaving the material to fly loosely around his body as he stared ahead into the dark thunderclouds that lay at the top of the horizon, his slender fingers wrapped around a fragile glass filled with red.

Brianna could hear the waves crashing against the threshold, the kings palace was positioned very close to the ocean, so she had the privilege to look at such an ethereal scene.

"Good morning flower" she heard him say. "Did you sleep well?" He asked, Brianna said nothing... Or rather she couldn't find the words to say.

" I'm guessing you did considering the indecent sounds you were making" he said turning to look at her with a small smile on his face.

She could feel her cheeks heating up greatly, she really wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

She gathered up courage to look up at him, she gasped when she saw the top of his shirt, it was thoroughly stained with red, she had a feeling that it wasn't wine.

He noticed her staring and smiled even more. "Don't look so frightened, it's just a little blood" he said increasing her fear.

"Did you kill someone?" Brianna asked, her voice shaking. She took a step backwards and her back collided with the balcony doors, she turned swiftly and turned the knob of the door but it didn't budge, it was sealed shut. She turned to look at him staring at her darkly with a smile playing on his lips, he was obviously enjoying her fear and distress.

"I did kill someone" he said and her eyes widened. "She was about your size, just a little taller than you"

"W-why did you do it" her voice shook as she asked him.

He laughed loudly, his voice echoed around.

She wondered if she had said something amusing or if his majesty was insane.

"I am not just an ordinary pureblood, but a Nineveh, I need twice as more blood to satisfy me" he said "since you arrived at this palace my urges have increased drastically" he sipped his wine. "No one has been able to satisfy my urges, but the mages said you can, so why don't we try that out"

Her eyes widened in fear, as her feet left the floor and she started floating in the air towards him.

"What... What are you doing?" She struggled on the air. "Let me go" she said as she slowly fell into his warm embrace.

His hands were firm on her waist as he held her in place, her back was to him and she could feel the hard muscles on his chest and stomach through the material of her gown. His warm breath touched her hair.

"Why so far away?" He asked as he pushed her hair to her right shoulder, leaving her neck bare. "Beautiful" he murmured against her hair.

She didn't like the fact that his had actions aroused her.

"Are you going to drink my blood?" She asked her legs shook visibly.

"Do you want me to?" He asked, she shivered when his nose touched her neck as he inhaled her scent.

She didn't know what to say to him, deep down she knew he would still do what he wanted regardless of what she said.

"I do not know my Lord"

"Really now? A bite from me would definitely reduce your arousal, I am sure you crave relief" his lips brushed slightly on her neck and she gasped, a smile spread on his lips, the effect he had on her pleased him.

Her arousal increased with the close proximity they shared, he was right, she did crave relief, even if it was just for a while, she wasn't thinking as good as she used to as her mind was clouded with thoughts of him and her dreams.

"Fine then, you can drink... Just a little" she said tilting her head to the side and removing the sleeve of her dress to give him more access.

He smiled and gave her neck a long lick that made her press her knees together, her blush deepened.

"Good girl" he said and kissed her neck before digging his fangs in.

Her eyes shut tightly at the sharp pain, but the pain was soon replaced by pleasure, her knees rubbed together as her arousal increased even more.

She could feel Virgil's leg on either side of her, touching her hips as she rubbed her knees together in an attempt to reduce the tension. All it did was make her cheeks heat up more and make her feel even worse.

Her lips parted for a moan when he removed his fangs from her neck and licked the bite marks, she could feel the cold on the area his lips had previously been.

Virgil had never tasted anything as sweet and satisfying as Brianna's blood, he knew he had to be extra careful with her and his self control was put to the test as he struggled with taking too much blood.

Brianna's eyes widened in realization, the bite had done nothing to reduce her arousal.

"Y- you said the bite would give me relief" she said, bending her head slightly backwards to look at him with uncertain eyes.

And then he burst out laughing again, on a normal circumstance his laugh would have been a beautiful sound, but now it just made her angry and disheartened. He placed his head on her shoulder and continued to laugh like he had just heard the funniest joke.

Brianna was beyond frustrated.

"So gullible" he said, turning her to face him so he could see for himself just how distressed he had made her, the fire he saw in her eyes pleased him.

"Sweet Brianna, you cannot be satisfied by anything except..." He lifted her chin with his finger. "Intimacy with me, the direct binding of souls"

Her eyes widened.

"I am a vampire, your blood will satisfy my urges a bit" he added.

Brianna had never felt so foolish before, she didn't care if he aroused her, she had started feeling hate and resentment towards the man that stood before her.

"You will never have my blood again" she said looking directly into his eyes that swam with red.

"You cannot refuse me Brianna" he said placing an arm around her small waist, I am your Nineveh, your king... Your everything"

"Watch me" she said through clenched teeth as she removed his arm from around her.

"You say that with so much fierceness yet your heart beats so quickly, your body is so heated up and you can barely breathe" he leaned down and looked into her eyes just as soon as the sun peeked up in the horizon, purple and orange clouds stained the sky.

"Soon enough, with just a mere touch from me you will fall to your knees and beg me for satisfaction" he whispered and licked her cheek.

Her knees felt weak and she was sure she would have crumpled to the ground if it were not for his hold on her.

"I do not care about this curse we share, I will never give myself to you because of it" she said looking directly into his dark eyes.

He sighed deeply.

"Very well then, I am not a very patient man but I am willing to wait for you, although it is only a matter of time before you loose your mind" he said, letting go of her and walked towards the doors.

"Until then it would be wonderful to have some fun with you" he added and left.

Her heart beat quickened at his words, she had begun to hate herself for how she felt and she hated the fact that this was her destiny.

She sat on the floor and hugged her knees tightly to her chest, she felt like crying, her mothers kind words whispered at the back of her mind, she missed them, did her mother know she would suffer this much? She thought to herself.
