Chapter 27 He Wants Kate.
Domenic's POV.
Our lips moved against each other in a frenzy. I couldn't get enough of Kate's soft lips. It was just as sweet as I dreamed it would be.
Lost in the pleasure, I forgot who I was kissing and pulled her body completely flushed to mine. She tasted sinfully sweet, like everything about her was created just for my own pleasures.
Kate felt small and fragile against me. I wanted to ruin her, I ache to take her and mark her as mine, but I can't do that. I can't allow myself to be emotionally tied to a human. I can't allow myself to be weak, especially for a human.
Still my mind has a mind of its own as they roam all over Kate's perfect body. She pushed herself closer to me almost getting unto my lap. Her arms wrapped around me and we were kissing like two souls who have been starved for eternity.
My tongue forced it's way into her mouth and our tongues battled against each other as we wrestled for dominance. I was far gone into my pleasure haze to think of anything more but Kate. I could only imagine how she would feel when I take her as mine. When she moans my name.
I groan as my lips left her mouth to trail gentle kisses down her neck. Kate moaned tilting her neck so I could have more access to it. The sound she made caused a slight squeeze in my groin and I felt just how incredibly turned on I was.
"Make me yours Domenic." She whispered in a pleading tone. "I want to be yours."
Something about her words snapped me out of my pleasure haze. I have totally forgotten that Kate had drug in her system. I might know that she wants me for real, she had made that clear in more ways than one. But I'm not going to take advantage of her when she's in this state.
I pulled away from her and stared deeply into her dazed grey eyes. They were dark with lust. It almost made me change my mind and take her right there on her bed.
"We have to stop Kate." I breathed out deeply, clinging to the last bit of self control I had in my body.
She rubbed her body against mine and whined like a little child almost snapping the last bit of self control I was desperately holding on to. "No Domenic! Please just fuck me! I really want you!"
It was a struggle to not give into her blatant invitation, but I tried my best to pull away from her and place her gently on the bed. "No Kate, you're intoxicated. We can't do this when you're so vulnerable."
She smiled gently as her eyes grew sleepy. "You care about me." It wasn't a question, it was a fact and I see she's already so sure of her words.
Still I tried to play it off like she was wrong. "Not you kitty, your blood."
Despite being weak, the beauty managed to scoff. "Okay maybe you don't care about me, but I can tell you want me bad. That kiss was a dead giveaway."
I sighed knowing she's right, and I really don't have the energy to argue with her right now. She needs rest. "Go to sleep Kitty. You really need it."
"Fine," she agreed weakly as her eyes began to droop. I turned to leave but heard her voice call. "Domenic." I stopped in my tracks but didn't turn to face her. Not while looking into her eyes made my cold heart pound loudly in my chest. "Thank you, for saving me." She said.
I couldn't explain the unbelievable warmth that crawled into my chest and set my whole body on fire. I did save her, but she had absolutely no reason to thank me. That vampire deserve exactly what he got.
Still I couldn't help how her words made me feel so alive. For some strange reason, I was glad that I'm the one who got there in time to save her, the one who passed on judgement to that bastard who dared to try and defile her.
I don't know of my reasons yet, but I seem to care about Kate more than I would like to admit.
And I don't think it has anything to do with her alluring blood anymore.
I walked into my father's courtroom. It was morning and he had sent for me even before I had the chance to wake up and freshen up. The party lasted until morning, so I'm quite surprised that my father called me into the courtroom so urgently.
When I walked in, I wasn't surprised to find that the whole council was there seated around my father in their respective seats.
Giron was on father's right hand while my seat remains empty at his left. The rest of the council members were all seated on either sides, neither looking pleased to see me.
I bowed my head to my father. "You sent for me father?"
Father did not reply. He had a look of complete disappointment on his face directed at me. I have no idea what I have done to warrant that look, but I was curious to find out.
My father clapped his hands and two guards walked in carrying the dead body of the man I killed last night on a stretcher as they brought it forward. The man who almost defied Kate. Seeing him lifeless made me want to cut him in more tiny pieces hoping he would feel the pain in hell.
"Domenic," father's powerful voice filled the room. "Did you do this to Demetrius?"
Fearlessly I answered, "yes father!"
Members of the council shook their head at my admittance. Their expression held disgust and dislike but I didn't care about them. What matters is that the bastard deserve what was done to him.
"Why?" Father asked.
"He almost defiled Kate father. You made it clear that she was your guest, but this bastard drugged her drink, took her to a hidden corner, tried to rape her and suck her dry." I heaved a sigh to calm the anger flowing through me as I pictured my words before going on. "So when I caught him in the middle of the act, I killed him!"
"What you're trying to say prince Domenic, is that you killed your own kind for a mere human? A slave!" Giron spat.
"Kate is not a slave!"
"But she's a human!" He screamed in anger. "How can you choose your kind over a filthy human. That says a lot about you prince Domenic!"
"I have always known we shouldn't trust him." Julio agreed. "Human blood runs in his veins. Of course he would favour the humans. He doesn't deserve to rule after you your majesty."
My fist clenched. Was this their plan to take the throne away from me?
I ignored them and stared at my father. "Father the bastard deserves what he got. He shouldn't have defiled your orders. He shouldn't have defiled Kate!" Any other human but not Kate!
"It was my orders Domenic. You should have reported the situation to me." Father began calmly. "You shouldn't have passed judgement on your own Domenic."
"Well I don't regret it. Take me back in time and I'll fucking do it again in a heartbeat!"
Giron tsked, "what excuse for a prince. I do not understand what makes this human girl so special, but guest or not she is still human. You mustn't choose a human over your own kind."
The king sighed and decided to play peacemaker. I was unapologetic about what I did, and father knows that I won't apologize no matter what. I have a lot of pride.
"Domenic, the man you killed is a member of Giron's coven and we must compensate him for your careless act." The king looked towards Giron and asked apologetically. "How can we pay you back for this Giron?"
Giron looked towards me with a cold mischievous smile. He knew he had gotten a chance to completely throw me off my throne. He would probably ask my father to renounce his decision of me being his heir. I was very sure that he wouldn't ask for anything past that, but the words that came out of his mouth shocked me to the core.
"If you must settle this with me your majesty, then give me the very reason why he took the life of my coven member." We all stared at him confused until he elaborated. "The human girl Kate, give her to me."
My fist clenched as rage caused my blood to boil.
What the hell is this fucker all about?!
