Two days have passed, and the boys have kept me well fed. I feel strong and healthy, and once I get Claus’s blood in me again, there will be nothing that can stop me. He comes home today.
We have made all the preparations, the seduction and the army of men waiting to serve me. There was a small handful of Claus’s men who remained, and we have already dealt with them. Unfortunately for them, they suffered the true death for crimes against the queen. There were others who followed Claus, but they have since seen the errors of their ways and pledged their fealty to me. They did not play a large part in the coup d’etat Claus had organized, so I decided to give them mercy. But they will be watched until they can prove their loyalty to me.
I hear the music trailing toward the palace, making its way down Swan Street. Claus is home. It is a common ritual for both humans as well as vamps to cheer the leader on when he returns to his coven. They all look up to that position in reverence. But in Claus’s case, I believe it is done more in fear than to rejoice.
As the music gets louder, I get a little nervous. I hope I can pull this off. I am waiting for him in our bedroom, dressed in the sexiest bustier I could find, with garters and fishnet stockings. We’re betting on him missing me, at least a little. After all, he says he loves me. For a man who doesn’t know the meaning of love, all I hope for is that he wants sex.
The music stops, which means he arrived at the palace. Show time. I look around the room and see that Kai and Silas are strategically positioned in the room where Claus will not see them. Raul is in the hallway. I was right. He is the strong one, so it is up to him to handle the two bodyguards.
I’m lying on the bed when the door flies open. “What is this, my pet?”
I take a deep breath. “My way of welcoming you home, My King,” I reply as I slowly move my legs enough that he can see my pussy. He walks toward the bed.
“You’re up to something,” he says, guarded. Damn, he’s gonna see right through this.
I need to allow him into my thoughts.“I am hungry, My King. Hungry for your blood and you.”
“You little minx.”He grins a devilish grin and says, “Now this is how a king should be welcomed home.” He sits on the bed and caresses my legs. Starting at my ankles he trails his fingers up to my core—but stops. “I suppose I should let you drink first so that you will have the stamina for what I have in mind for you.”
“Please, My King,” I beg.
He takes off his shirt and bares his neck to me. “Drink, my pet.”
I release my fangs and latch on to his carotid artery. As usual, his blood is euphoric and I want to drain him. I know I can’t. I need to keep him alive. It’s part of the plan. Not to mention I need him to know he can trust me. I drink for several minutes, and before he tells me to stop, I stop. I pull away and lick the dripping blood from my lips.
“You are getting very good at control, my pet. I am proud of you.”
“Thank you, My King. I only live to please you.”Oh damn, Serena, you are laying it on really thick.
He stands and undresses himself. When he is completely naked, he crawls on top of me and ravishes my body. He wants me.Good!I allow him to do whatever he chooses with my body, touching me everywhere. I realize, just as his passion ignites, I feel nothing. Seeing his true colors has killed any feelings I had for him, so now, he is nothing to me but a donor. A donor who keeps me strong with his potent lifegiving liquid. But he sees my passion because I am a good actress. My thoughts tell him that I want him and no other.
Just as he is about to enter me, I ask, “My King, please allow me to suck you.”
He laughs. “You are actually asking me to suck my dick?”
“Nothing would please me more than to have you fuck my mouth.”
He crawls off me. “Lie across the bed with your head hanging off the side.”
I do as he asks and he steps up to me, hovering his dick over my face. It takes everything in me to latch on to it, and he begins to fuck my mouth.
“Oh damn, Serena, I can see my dick in your throat!” He gets harder inside my mouth and pushes his dick in deeper and deeper.He is at his most vulnerable. It’s time.
Before he knows what is happening, I bare my fangs and bite down on his dick. The blood flows freely and I suck and suck, taking as much as I can. He’s about to come and is distracted enough that he is not thinking about my weakening him. I keep taking his blood as his cum shoots down my throat. His grasp on my head weakens, his legs wobble, and he falls to the floor.
I sit up on the bed, and within seconds, Kai and Silas appear to chain him in silver shackles.
“Are you sure you want him kept alive?” Kai asks.
“Yes, I need his blood.”
“Then it will be done,” Kai replies. He and Silas drag Claus away and then Kai asks, “The dungeon?”
“Yes, please. Cage him in the silver cage and chain him to it. If he comes to before I visit him, please tell him that his queen will see him shortly.
Just then, Raul enters the bedroom and reports, “The bodyguards are dead. They have met the true death.”
“Splendid. You will all be rewarded.” I stand with confidence. “Now please leave me. I must make myself presentable to my people.”
They all head out the door, taking Claus with them. Before they disappear into the hallway, I call, “Kai.” When he looks back, I continue. “Please announce to the coven I have returned. Please have the remaining humans Claus captured released and returned to their families. Be sure to wipe their memories like the others.”
“Yes, My Queen.” He turns back, and they disappear down the hall. I walk through the bedchamber I just reclaimed and smile. Taking a deep breath, I realize this is good. My parents would be proud. I step into the playroom and look around. I never experienced a room like this before Claus introduced it to me. And, I have to say, many of the things that were done to me here I enjoyed. I think I will keep it.
I leave the playroom and walk to the small closet in the room. Claus’s clothes are hanging neatly. These must go. I begin to remove the clothes and hidden behind them are boxes upon boxes. I open the first one. My clothes! I rummage through and find a dress, bra, and panties.Oh, to feel like me again.I grab them and head toward the bathroom. I need to wash Claus off me and prepare to start my new life.
