Love Nest

Chapter 81

I knew that I wanted Alucard and me to perform the mating ritual, but I was confused when he brought me to Prospera Manor again. I had so many questions when he gently dragged me inside and went upstairs.

"What are we... going to do here?" This had to be the nth time I had been asking him the same question. He never answered me and just smiled during those times.

When Alucard looked at me, I could have sworn to myself that he still did the same action earlier, and I would have been left with no choice but to bring him down. I mean, I was planning to force him to speak.

"Our love nest, dollface."

I fluttered my eyelids when he finally replied while realizing what he said. "L-Love nest?" I stammered, making me gulp suddenly when I remembered that Alucard had been telling me about this so-called love nest of ours.

He nodded and clasped our hands that were intertwining together. "Yes. I have been wanting to show them to you."

I was just speechless when he led me to one of the chambers. I knew what kind of love nest he was trying to show me. I couldn't be wrong about it.

We halted in a chamber before he opened the door and showed the...

"Master's bedroom?" I parroted, looking at Alucard in disbelief, bewildered. "Is this... what you are talking about, pudding?" I asked as my eyes roamed around while Alucard let me stroll around and scrutinize every corner of this big chamber.

It had a king-size bed, and the cream-colored walls had some intricate gold designs that added sophistication and intimacy to the whole chamber, especially upon seeing the S-shaped couch, which was not the first time I had seen one like that one.

"Dollface, over here."

I looked around and saw him positioning himself in front of the mirror. I followed him behind, getting more perplexed about why he was staring at his reflection.

"Is there... something interesting there?" I arched my eyebrow before deciding to cling to his arm. I smiled because we looked so adorable together.

Alucard leaned his chin on my head after he went behind my back and wrapped his arms around my waist. "We have no portrait paintings together, no?" I nodded and smiled back at him. "I mean as a couple. Then, along with our pups."

"We should have them soon, then. Then, we are going to display it here in this manor." I winked at him.

He grinned. "Indeed." He lowered his head to kiss my nape while looking into my reflection. "I will make everything come true for you, dollface," he said dreamily.

I stared back and saw the unwavering sincerity written in his eyes. "Where's our love nest then?" My hand reached for his face, caressing it sensually. "Didn't you promise you will show it to me?" I smiled seductively, feeling myself getting turned on at every word Alucard would say since we arrived here.

Alucard's upper lip lifted into a smirk before he took my hand that was caressing his face and gently bit my finger. "My, my, dollface... Aren't we a bit excited?" he asked huskily.

I only arched my eyebrow while smirking. "What? Are we just going to stand here and stare at each other, pudding?" I bit my lower lip when he licked my thumb, making me shiver.

He chuckled darkly. "Impatient as always, my beloved mate." He winked before he released me from hugging me. That earned me a frown, which Alucard caught on it. He chortled one more time before he led me to the mirror again. "Patient, dollface. Patient."

As I was about to protest to him again, Alucard flipped the mirror wall, making my eyes widen in shock as soon as we entered and realized that we were in a different chamber.

"What...?" I was speechless as he turned on the lamp, unveiling something that elicited a sudden gasp from me as I took in the sight of the room.

Before me was another king-size bed positioned in the center of the chamber, accompanied by a saltire cross affixed to the red-carpeted wall. Additionally, I observed handcuffs, flogs, whips, and riding crops suspended on the wall.

That made me step back a little as the place looked familiar. It looked like when I was visiting the Maiden's Lair, or most specifically, it was like the same chamber when Alucard told our children it was a storage room.

"This is the..." I paused and turned at Alucard, who was already sitting on the single couch while his forest-green eyes pierced my direction. "...the..." I couldn't continue what I was about to say with how he looked at me.

Alucard playfully poked the inside of his cheek, the smirk still evident on his lips. "I moved everything you observed there to ensure our children won't come across it, and I created a hidden chamber that's well soundproof," he addressed the unspoken question lingering in my mind. "Welcome to our love nest, dollface. Just as I promised years ago..."

I gulped and was distracted when I saw his other hand playing with a long red cloth. Upon seeing that blindfold that I held my breath, my body was shivering in delight.

"Cat got your tongue?"

His teasing voice made me want to back down from this, but I tried to compose myself. "W-What if our pups find out about this chamber?" Although I felt nervous, I couldn't help but feel excited about what would happen between us.

"They won't. Trust me." Then, he tapped his lap. But I stood still and didn't make a move. Or rather, I was being stubborn. "Come and sit on my lap, my stubborn brat."

"Make me." I knew Alucard wanted me to obey him, but I wanted to be stubborn now.

Alucard placed his elbow on the armrest before resting his jaw on his knuckles. His leg was crossing while he had an earnest expression pressed on his face.

"You know that I don't repeat myself when it comes to this, dollface." His voice hinted at a warning. "Now, do you want to be stubborn, or shall I inflict a punishment for my little slut?"

I secretly gripped my skirt, knowing that Alucard wasn't kidding this time. He still had the mischief dancing in his eyes, but I knew well that behind that facade, he wanted me to obey.

"No, Alucard."

He arched his eyebrow when I was calling him on his name. "I see."

As soon as he stood up and walked towards me, my stomach churned upside down when his dominant aura emitted as I stepped back. But I remained still, not wanting to show any expression.

And Alucard caught on to it, causing him to grin.

"Why are you stepping back, dollface? You wish for me to make you the happiest woman, right? So... why are you being stubborn, hmm?"

My heart was pounding so loud when he cornered me between the wall and him. Excitement rushed through my veins when Alucard raised his hand to brush his knuckles on my cheek.

"How could I ever forget that you like being bratty for me?"

The fearful expression on my face changed into an interesting one as I smirked. "I do not know what you are talking, Your Royal Highness." I feigned ignorance, fluttering my eyelids.

He released a sigh, shaking his head, not wiping that smirk off his handsome face. "Well, then, I should show it instead of talking."

Before I could even realize what he was talking about, Alucard reached the neckline of my dress before he tore them in between, earning a loud gasp to escape from my lips when I was exposed in front of him in a matter of seconds.

"P-Pudding!" My cheeks were in flame from his unexpected action, but at the same time, my cl!t was tingling.

"What? You like it when I am being aggressive, right, dollface?" he asked sensually and eyed me up and down. His tongue licked his lips when he saw my naked body that was bare in front of him before he settled to my stomach. His expression softened before his hand touched me to my stretch marks. "I am really amazed how you handled bearing our triplets, dollface. How I wish I were there during your pregnancy..."

His words brought arousal to my whole body, but it also made get teary-eyed. I bit my lower lip and decided to reveal my naked body as I let him adore my stretch marks.

"How I wish you were there when I was craving and gave birth to them, pudding..."

Regret washed over his face. His other hand was clenching. I moved to cup his face and made him look into my eyes.

"It's in the past. You are making amends now to me... to our pups," I said before he could say something that would sour our mood. "Alright?" I smiled at him to make his uneasiness go away.

I knew he was guilty even though he didn't have to say anything. I had a hunch that he would try to explain what happened in the past, and I had to chime in before he could do that.

I didn't wait for Alucard to respond and kiss him fully on his lips. He gasped and didn't respond back at first, but my kiss was so inviting that he possessively wrapped his arms around me, indicating his obsession before he made my back lean to the wall.

Our tongues dwelled in dominance as I felt myself being lifted up, wrapping my legs around his torso. With my eyes closed, I felt Alucard walking to somewhere I didn't know. All I was focusing on right now was his torrid kiss that could easily make my mind go haywire.

Then I felt something soft on my back, and my hand was raised before I felt something tied to my wrist. I creased my forehead when I felt the same thing on my other wrist, doing a decision to slowly peel my eyes open when Alucard pulled away with a smirk plastered on his lips.

"You behave there," he uttered huskily and knelt to reach my legs.

I held my breath as soon as I looked at my wrist being tied up right now, only to see that I was being held back in the wall-mounted Saltire cross. Then, my ankles were being spread as Alucard tied them up on each end of the cross.

"Pudding..." I gulped, licking my lips as I failed to notice that he outsmarted me.

Alucard approached me and sniffed my neck. "Fuck, Faustina... I have been wanting to see you being tied here..." he whispered huskily, making me feel chills down my spine. "Shall we begin your punishment then?"
