Loved By a Vampire King

 Volume 2 : ♥️Closer To Your Dark Heart ♥️

As usual, Athena came back in the castle last night through the back door linked with her bedroom which was still unknown to anyone except herself. 

She created this tiny door long back when her mother forbade her to go out. After returning in her room, she laid down staring at the celling blankly. Her mind continued reverberating his words ' will you really come back tomorrow'.

She forced herself to not think about Ethan any more and buried her head into the soft pillow. Her heart throbbed at the thought of her miserable past as she forced herself not to go back in the human world. 

DALASTIA WORLD,

Queen Melinda was sitting on the chair in her corridor enjoying the warm sunlight flickering on her face. But her expression was downcast and gloomy. 

Soon After, a roaring voice came from behind,

" Let me go.. I said let me go.. I don't wanna come back to this castle.. You asshole.."

Queen Melinda frowned and turned around to see her son struggling with the guards while they were pushing him in forcefully. 

Her eyes beamed with happiness after seeing him.She put down the opened book from her hand and ordered loudly,

" Leave him. "

The guards nodded and left his arms as Ethan jerked it off glaring at them angrily.

He shifted his eyes in front and faced his mother's face blankly. His expression remained nonchalant as if he met any distant relative that he was unwilling to greet.

Melinda's eyes flashed with pain at the sight of her son's distant look. She maintained her calm face and got up from the chair walking towards him elegantly.

Until now, Ethan didn't utter any word and waited for her to initiate the conservation. Suddenly Melinda felt lost after watching him in silence.

She sighed inwardly and asked throwing a domineering gaze,

" Did you hurt Ester? Answer me, Ethan."

Unexpectedly Ethan laughed swallowing the bitter feelings as he shook his head vigorously. 

Melinda frowned and waited for his answer. Shortly after, Ethan replied forming a bitter smile on his lips,

" Will you believe if I say that I didn't? "

Melina glared at his unfazed face and felt more angry. She replied in a hoarse voice,

" Ester was badly injured.Still he pleaded me to not punish you. Who else can dare to hit him rather than you? When will you be sensible, Ethan? "

Again Ethan laughed back in mockery and replied gazing at her furious eyes,

" When you already believe that I have hurt him. Then why do you bother to ask me? Just punish me for hurting your dear foster son. You don't believe me and.. never did.."

He continued lowering his tone a little as his eyes dimmed, 

" Even you never believed my sister.."

Melinda shouted, " Ethannn!!!!! "

She breathed heavily and said holding his arm trying to make her voice gentle, 

" Son, stop being so impulsive. You are the rightful heir for the throne. You should maintain your image. Why don't you understand that? "

Ethan pushed away her hand roughly and stepped back before replying,

" I was never intended to be the king. I have no interest on the throne that made my older brother die miserably. Did you find the culprit after all this years, justice queen Melinda? "

Melinda's expression turned sour and painful as she stared at Ethan's hateful face blankly.

Ethan continued smiling bitterly as he started stepping back gradually,

" All the time you only cared about your throne. Did you ever turn around and notice that how many people you lost in this chaos?"

Ethan paused and asserted the words in a low voice before stepping out from the room, 

" Don't call me back in the castle. I don't wish to see your face which only remind me of my brother's dead body and my sister's pleading eyes. "

Melinda's shaking body fell down on the carpet clutching her heart painfully. Within a few moments, Ethan reminded her all the painful memories that was buried in her heart.

VAMPIRE WORLD, 

Within a blink of eye, the awaiting afternoon finally came as the maids seemed much busy pacing back and forth through the corridor following towards a certain room. 

Inside Esme's crowded room, the maids were all busy preparing her neat and clean and she stood still staring at her reflection at the mirror in daze. 

Her cheeks blushed subconsciously reminding his earlier flirting while selecting this attire. After checking through all the expensive gowns for two and half hours, he finally selected this crimson red sleeveless gown. It was burning red like volcano along with a series of strap behind it's back which made her curving body appearing seductive and fit.A little curve was exposed outside through the deep neck shape giving her off a vibe of feminity. 

Two maids were brushing her long silky hairs and silently admired her natural beauty. Even though her makeup was still undone and they didn't put any ornaments on her, she still beamed like a goddess who had descended down from the heaven. 

The other maids standing inside the room were whispering some dirty words among each others and giggled shyly. Esme ignored their chitchat as she was already used to it. 

A heavy creak on the door shifted their attention as Aaron entered complaining, 

" How long it will take...." 

His words were stuck halfway as his eyes fell on the reflection inside the mirror. For a moment, he was spell bounded by her alluring face.

The maids very quickly retreated themselves considering the lord's expression and closed the door from outside. Only then Esme realised that everyone had left her alone as she nervously looked up at him through the mirror.

Their eyes met as her face flashed watching his desire filled eyes.

She spit out in a low voice to avoid the awkwardness,

" I.. I'm done almost.. Wait a bit outside.."

Aaron ignored her words and walked slowly on her way as she shifted in her spot uncomfortably. She felt his tall figure standing behind her as her whole body quivered at his closeness.

Then she heard his husky voice,

" Let me help you. Your straps are still undone."

And she mentally scolded those maids for not completing their tasks but all she could do was to endure.

This man will only insist more if she says no.

Very carefully, Aaron touched the hanging straps and pulled it on roughly to make it tight. Esme jolted as she held the hairpin in her hand tightly.

After making a fold, Aaron averted his eyes on the trembling figure through the mirror as his eyes disobediently fell on her two peach blossoms. Putting on the tight-fitting gown, it appeared more firm and round as if it was made for caressing. His eyes burned with desire as Esme tried to apart herself from him.

But a cold pair of hands wrapped her slim waist firmly not giving her figure to escape as she gasped softly.

He grinned widely at her panicked state as he commented brushing his lips on her naked shoulder like a cotton, 

" You look so sexy.." 

Immediately her cheeks turned pink at his ambiguous word. She always preferred to hear beautiful and the word 'sexy' seemed rugged to her. If it was in the past and some man would compliment her beauty as sexy, she might be chopped him into pieces. But when it came out from Aaron's tongue, she felt proud and somehow aroused. 

She shivered lightly at the touch of his smooth skin as her eyes saw his sensitive movements through the mirror. He looked much handsome with his usual black attire. But today there was a glimpse of white on his tuxedo as a white flower was fabricated on it's right-angle. 

She couldn't help but admired his demonic look unwittingly. 

She was melting and trembling at his slight teasing with his lips and heard his husky tone, 

" But.. I assume that you will look much sexier without having this clothes." 

He breathed in her unique fragrance greedily and added smirking, 

" I might have stripped it off if we didn't have guests waiting for us.. But.. I can taste you a little.." 

With the saying,suddenly he turned her body around when Esme let down her guard. Before she could register her mind and puzzled state, she felt her lips were sealed harshly. 

Instantly her body was leaned back pressing against the dresser as she felt a little hurt at her buttocks. 

But the man in front of her wasn't sober. He plunged his tongue deeply inside her mouth and explored every inch of her lips. 

His one hand was holding her waist supporting their balance while the other grabbed the back of her head. 

He continued kissing deeply and fiercely that Esme even forgot to retaliate.His hand on her waist slowly travelled upwards intending to slide down through the upper clothes. 

But the gown was too tight that even his hand couldn't go down half as he cursed himself inwardly to select this troublesome dress for her. 

Esme grunted in pain as the kisses were so fiery that she was feeling pain on her lips being sucked like a candy even her buttocks were having pain because of their vigorous movements. 

Suddenly the door flug open abruptly as they froze hearing a voice, 

" Vanessa is....."
