Chapter 31 Chapter 31

Nathaniel's POV

When the priest completed the ceremony and gave us permission to seal the bond with a kiss, I instinctively grabbed her with full force and attacked her mouth with mine. I couldn't even begin to explain what was happening to me. During the whole ceremony I couldn't help but look her up and down, repeatedly. The moment she entered the garden with Benjamin my whole body stiffened. I clenched my fists in order to control my emotions. The heart's power was threatening to explode from inside me. It took all my will power to control it. I could hear the First Born's snickering laugh, mocking me.

Bailey was breath-taking in the wedding gown. It fit her body perfectly. The cleavage that exposed her breasts was mouth-watering. She was shining, literally. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I remembered the hallucination I had earlier. Her captivating green eyes, begging me to take her. How I wished right now that it was real. I wanted to dismiss everybody, rip that dress off her and take her right here in the garden.

I cupped her cheek and yanked her hair to open her mouth and shove my tongue inside her delicious mouth. What the hell has gotten into me? I must be losing my mind. I had to stop this before I seriously lose control and claim her right here and now.

I had no intention of consummating this marriage. Consummation makes the bond even stronger. I had no need for that. What I only wished for is more control over her powers. We still shared the heart, but now we would have better control over it. No more falling unconscious or getting weaker when I use stronger spells. The only downfall was the fact that she would have access to these same things, but what she doesn't know doesn't hurt her.

I finally broke the goddamn kiss. It was driving me crazy. She was panting heavily. The kiss affected her too, which made me smirk in satisfaction. Maybe I should do this more often? It's obvious she hated the way she reacted to it. I'll cease every opportunity to torment her in such ways. Her face was flushed, but her eyes were filled with hate. Good. Hate me all you want. The more, the better.

She looked as if she wanted to slap me, but managed to control it.

" Sweetie, why don't you take a little walk with Benjamin? You seem—overwhelmed?"

I gave her a questioning look with a hint of mockery. She flinched, furious obviously. It only made my grin wider.

She raised her dress and stormed out, leaving Benjamin and the others baffled. He immediately followed her. I laughed a little under my chin.

"My king—" The priest spoke shyly. He was still sweating heavily. What the fuck now?

" What?" I blurted out. He was shaking out of fear. This was so annoying.

" My king, I beg you to reconsider.Consummating the marriage will make the bond stronger. If you delay it for too long it will take its toll. It will have severe consequences." He was unable to finish because I grabbed his neck with my bare hand and squeezed until he started turning blue.

"Do I look like someone who cares about the fucking consequences? I am not fucking that low life. She means nothing to me. I am much stronger than your stupid rules. They can't affect me. Her on the other hand I can't guarantee. She will suffer greatly."

Lucian patted me on the shoulder to calm me down. His fingers had a sort of magic touch. I calmed down instantly and dropped the priest on the floor. He coughed heavily, grasping for air.

" My Lord, the priest is right. At least consider it. This is one of the most powerful spells known in our world. There is no known way to break it. You should seal it the right way. This will give you control over the heart, but at what cost? You cannot know how it will affect you."

My eyes went pitch black for the hundredth time these past few days. The power was pulsating all around me, making some of the flowers, nearby, wither instantly. I needed to murder someone, I needed to vent. So much unused power had accumulated these days. It was threatening to burn me out. I had to release it somehow, but not now. I clenched my fists again, making them bleed.

" Enough Lucian! One more word and I will burn both of you to a crisp."

Lucian retracted his hand and bowed slightly. He realized he overstepped his bounds.

He was about to say something but I left him hanging and left the garden in a rush.

I spotted Bailey and Benjamin walking slowly down the narrow path of the garden's entrance, hand in hand. He was too close to her for my taste. I mentally slapped myself again. Why the hell would I care about that? I should see Kara again.

"Benjamin!" I snapped at him. " You are dismissed."

He exchanged glances with Bailey and bowed slightly before letting her go and leaving us alone.

She looked terrified. Excellent! Bailey took a step back, as if she was preparing herself to make a run for it. Not this time sweetheart.

"Let's test this, shall we?" She looked at me confused, wondering what I was talking about. She would find out soon enough, because I didn't waste time and pulled her towards me with a hand gesture. She gasped in surprise, and in seconds appeared in my arms. The proximity between us was so small, I could feel her breath on my mouth and her heart pounding rapidly on my chest. She was trembling. The fact that she was drawn to me so easily, despite not wanting to be, was driving her crazy. I could feel it. I felt every one of her emotions right now. At the same time she was embarrassed, angry, frightened and even slightly—aroused.

" Let go of me." Bailey whispered. She was fighting so hard to resist me. Her body was betraying her. This is the effect of the union. The full Moon, was additionally boosting the feeling. Our bodies were begging to consummate the marriage. Bailey was losing it, but I only felt a slight tingle. Even though I wasn't planning on having sex with her, it didn't mean I couldn't have some fun. An evil smirk made its way on my lips, which made her eyes go wide in fear.

" What are you—?" She couldn't manage to finish that sentence as I teleported us to my bedroom. The flowery garden instantly changed to my bedroom walls. I roughly threw her on the king-sized bed. She yelped, grabbing the sheet tightly to balance her self.

The horror was evident on her face. I could even feel the magic emitting from her body. Did she really think she could take me in that state?

Well, we should find out, shouldn't we? In an instant I lay on top of her, pinning her hand above her head, making her unable to move a muscle. I cracked my fingers, releasing little sparks from them, and whispered a little word evanescet, which made her wedding gown disappear into tiny pieces, leaving her only in her black, laced bra and panties. I must admit, it was alluring. She blushed when she realized what happened.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Let me go!" She struggled underneath me to gain her freedom but to no avail. I was much stronger. I started unbuttoning my shirt with my free hand.

" Darling, surely you must know we have to consummate this marriage in order to seal the bond?" I gave her an innocent look. Bailey was blinking rapidly in disbelief. You could see on her face that she was scared out of her mind. This was even more fun than I expected.

Let's make it even more interesting. I lowered my head to her neck and gave it a slow lick. Bailey shivered under me and a low moan escaped her mouth.

" S—stop it!" She tried to break free again, but her attempts were still not strong enough. With my free hand I started exploring her body, cupping her breast, massaging her stomach, until I reached her panties and slid it inside. I found her slit and started drawing circles around it which made her moan louder and pant faster. She was already wet when I touched her.

"Ah..No! I don't want this! Please!Stop!"

Her voice was trembling. Her whole body was hot. She wanted it, badly.

" Your body is telling me a different story. It's welcoming every one of my touches." I slid one of my fingers inside her. She arched her back the same second it happened. I must admit, I was enjoying this "torment" session. My plan is to drive her crazy and leave her hanging, and make her hate me even more. I continued penetrating her and making circles with my finger. Bailey instinctively wrapped her legs around me, pushing me closer to her. Our mouths were inches away. I was tempted to kiss her again but remained in control. I could sense she was close to her orgasm. Now was the time to disappoint her.

"No! Not like this! Not with you! I am not going to—STOP!!!"

The next thing I knew I was flying across the room, and hitting the wall with a heavy bang. My body dropped on the floor like a rag doll. When I lifted my head the room was spinning for a few seconds. What just happened exactly?

I regained my balance and stood up. I could sense something warm was sliding down the corner of my mouth. I licked it and laughed so hard. My body hurt from the laughter and the sudden fall.

My eyes searched for Bailey. She was still on the bed, covering her half-naked body with the sheets. Her eyes were wide in shock, her heart was pounding like a drum. It was echoing through the room. The power was still spreading from her in waves.

"WOW! I didn't know you had it in you! How interesting."

She clenched the sheets closer to her body, fearing what would happen next.

" I'm sorry..."

I had enough for tonight. This was starting to bore me. I will pay Kara a visit later.

"Enjoy your sleep. It might be the last night you get a proper one".
