Quickly I dart left into the palace library. She’s in here. I’m sure of it.
“Princess…” I call out, my voice echoing into the darkness. It’s so gloomy in here I can barely see. The bookshelves are lit up by the occasional candle, and the armchairs scattered around the room are all empty. Hardly a surprise considering it’s well past midnight.
“Ruby…” I call again, wandering deeper into the library and peering between the shelves. “Where are you hiding?” I pick a dark aisle and make my way down. “I know you’re in here. I can smell you.”
A whimper sounds from nearby, and I pause.
Grinning, I turn slowly and follow the sound.
The aisle opens up to reveal a stone fireplace surrounded by plush chairs and chaise longues, each one decorated with unreturned library books. The fireplace is still crackling, theglow of the embers lighting up the reading space, but the place is completely deserted. No sign of any ruby-haired princesses.
That’s until I spy a flutter of tulle peeking out from beneath one of the chaise longues.
With a wild smile, I drag her out by her foot.
“Eek!” Ruby yelps. She claws at the wooden floor, but I’m too strong for her. Soon, she’s lying beneath me – a puddle of lavender tulle and loose red hair.
“How?” she demands, pushing up to her elbows. “You must’ve cheated! You saw me come in here, or…” Her voice fades as I drop to my knees.
“Cheating?” Crawling over her body, I rest my palms on either side of her shoulders and use my knees to push her thighs apart. “How might I have done that, sweetheart?”
Breath quickening, she sinks back to the floor. “I-I don’t know.”
My eyes feast on her face, then her neck. My cock strains as I catch another glimpse of her perfect nipples.
Growling, I grab her wrists and pin them to the floor. “I found you, Ruby. Now you’re all mine.” She lets out a soft whimper. “And I’m going to fucking enjoy claiming you.”
With a grin, my lips clamp down on her neck.
Ruby gasps, arching her back as she tries to wriggle out of my hold. But, I don’t let her move an inch. By the time we’re done here, there’ll be no doubts about who Princess Amaryllis really belongs to.
After a few more delicious moments, I suck on her neck one last time before pulling away to admire the red mark I left on her skin.
“So you are a vampire,” she jokes, breath heavy.
Challenge burns inside me. “You want to see vampire?”
Chewing her lip, she nods.
Smothering her mouth with mine, her back arches further, and I grind my hips against hers.
She moans into the kiss. But that moan turns into a yelp as I bite down on her lip, just enough to hurt, but not enough to bleed. She’s too damn pretty to bleed.
Before she can catch her breath, I lower myself and clamp my lips just below her collarbone, biting hard.
Ruby screams.
I slam my palm over her mouth to muffle her cry. “You better keep that pretty mouth shut unless you want the guards to find you all horny and wet in the middle of the library.” Her scream fades into a moan as I slowly remove my hand to cup her cheek. “I love it when you behave, Princess. Such a good little whore for me.”
She shudders with pleasure, and I give her a few moments to breathe before continuing with her chest. Within minutes, her neck and shoulders are covered in tiny love bites. It’s such a perfect sight, her cheeks rosy with heat, sweat glistening against her skin, andmymarks all over her body.
“Fucking perfect,” I breathe.
“Kasimir,” she pants desperately. “Please, I need you inside of me.”
Stars, she sounds just like she did in the whorehouse.
“You want my cock, Ruby?” I grind my hips against her as she moans. “You want me to fill that needy pussy again?”
