Chapter 20 - I Want Nothing But You
Ethan paused for a bit at her sudden question and thought of avoiding the answer purposely.
He had no intention to reveal his identity infront of a stranger.
Thus he replied nonchalantly kept walking forward,
" I'm kind of supernatural creature having some white magics. That's it. Nothing is special about me."
Athena mocked following his footsteps,
" Did I say that you are special? humph.
Perhaps you are tiny stronger than me."
She added scratching her nose awkwardly,
" Perhaps I was out of strength because of not gratifying my thirst who knows.
Anyways we will have another round after I drink the blood. What do you say? "
Keeping his footsteps quick enough, Ethan rolled his eyes at her words and replied coldly,
" No interested. "
Athena pouted angrily, " You... "
Whatever she didn't dare to fight with him honestly. That guy had too much strength which was still suspicious too her. Moreover he always put on a poker face which irritated her the most as if hate at first sight.
Soon after, they reached in front of a five stored building beside the street.
Athena looked up and briefly read the logo hanging down from the rooftop " NGC BLOOD BANK, CRYSTAL CITY."
Ethan stopped there and asked her to wait outside while he made his way inside the building.
Although she visited human world many times, she had not much idea about the staffs existing here.She only found bars to cheer up her unscrupulous mood and some bad people to play with.
A little while later, Ethan walked out holding two bags of blood pack in his hands.His expression remained stiff and aloof while handing her the packs as if he had made a grave sin.
For the first time in his life, after being a prince of Dalastia World, he was helping a demon to satisfy her thirst.
If his mother finds out, he will be banned like her younger sister.!!
At the side of the blood, she gulped her lustful saliva greedily and didn't hesitate to take the bloods from his hands. As soon as she got it, she started ripping it off almost instantly.
Ethan felt headache at her action and reached out to stop her from anything doing here.
Athena shot her hateful galre at his hands before lifting up her gaze questioningly.
Are you daring to stop me from eating now again?
Ethan sighed and revealed his true intention speaking carefully,
" Don't drink it here or if any human sees you here drinking blood, you will be on the headlines tomorrow."
She blinked her eyes and asked unaware about the words that he had used just now,
" What headlines?"
Forget it.. He just shut up his mouth now.
He took a quick glance of their surroundings and suggested,
" Let's take you in an empty place.Don't drink it until we reach there."
He sounded like ordering her but after taking a peek at her greedy blood packs, she decided to follow him like an obedient pet.
Crossing the street, Ethan guided her walking through a half darkened street but the destination was unknown to her.
Leave it Athena as long as you can drink.
Athena mentally consoled herself after trailing him quickly.
At the same time,
IN VAMPIRE WORLD,
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
As the two figures disappeared from her view, Vanessa let out a loud sneer making her blood boil and raged.
Even though Queen Mother assured her that Esme won't be part of Aaron's life in the future, still it made her discomfort when she realised his deep attraction towards Esme.
What quality this girl has that she doesn't have?
Just then,she turned away and almost screamed out like hell.
Lucky the dark figure signaled her to keep quite as she kept her mouth shut instantly.
After taking a glance of her bedroom's door, she made sure that it was locked properly and then approached towards the dark figure speaking in a low voice,
" How did you get here??"
INSIDE ESME'S BEDROOM,
Within a blink of eye, they were inside their room while her lord husband was putting her down over their king sized bed. He seemed to enjoy carrying her too much.
He used to lift up her without warning or explaining anything. At the thought of spending another night with this devilish king, her heart beated like hammer.
He didn't force her to do any intimate act till now but the way, he was sucking her lips everytime, it gave her goosebumps.
Awkwardly, he didn't spend much time beside her. Thus shortly he commanded her to sleep as he headed towards their couch before taking some documents from the table.
Just like nothing happened, he flopped himself inside those pile of documents without looking at her awestruck face.
Esme bit down her lips while tugging her clothes in nervousness. She had to speak to him about something.
But will he agree?
After fighting with her hesitation for quite some time, she parted her slightly trembled lips to speak up but then a husky voice came across her ears,
" You don't have to drool over me like that. I know, I am handsome."
She was rendered speechless eyeing over the shameless face who was still devastated into those documents.
She cleared her throat to drive away her awkwardness and finally spoke,
" I.. I have a favour to ask you.."
Hearing the favour word from her, Aaron drived her attention towards her and shoot his gaze with great amusement.
Esme avoided his glare and asked in a low tone,
" Can I inform my parents in the human world that I'm okay? They must be searching for me."
Aaron shifted back his gaze over the documents, flopping the pages one by one, he replied casually,
" My men are already taking care of them. You don't have to worry about them."
Esme's eyes flashed with anxiousness as she said muttering,
" What.. what do you mean by taking care of them?
Do.. do they know that I am here?"
Aaron replied still focusing on the documents in his hand,
" No.. But they won't be in trouble. I just made sure of their safety. Thus you are married to me now, they might fall in danger anytime because of my enemies."
If she said that she didn't feel warm, then the heavens might be crashed down over her head to punish her daylight lying.
Watching him concerned towards her family, she demanded boldly,
" Then..can..I visit them once please? "
Her eyes were fixed on his face praying silently to hear an affirmative answer. She knew her parents too well that they must be heartbroken now after loosing her.
They had already lost their biological daughter earlier. After having her in their life, it completed their family and soothed their pain much.
Aaron paused at his track after hearing her thus he lifted his cold gaze again while asking in a hoarse voice,
" So that you can escape from me?"
Esme felt wronged being accused by him this time. Although she had the urge to escape from here but this time, she just really wanted to give a visit except that she hadn't thought about anything else.
When she finally intended to give a reply, a sudden force made her jolt as she met his fierce gaze meeting her eyes.
Watching her in silence, Aaron already registered his thoughts that definitely Esme was upto something.
Thus in out of rage, he rushed over to her and hold her arm tightly speaking,
" You still have the guts to leave me."
Esme wanted to say no but her chin was gripped by his hard palm forcing her to tear up in pain. Then she heard his roaring voice,
" Esme Watts, keep it in your mind that you can never leave me .Even if you die,your corpse will belong to me only."
Her vision started blurring because of her tears as she sniffed painfully. The pain of her chin was so much that she almost started crying.
Aaron was too focused on threatening her. Just then he met her painful eyes watching at him painfully, his mind felt puzzled and subconsciously the grip loosened from her face.
Some light red marks appeared on her beautiful skin only then he realised that how much strength that he had used. He somewhat felt guilty and wanted to console her.
But the girl seemed to burn in anger as her gruff tone echoed in his ears,
" What do you want from me, Aaron?
What exactly do you want?
Do I owe you any thing or you want my life?
If you want my life just take it away. Don't torture me like this. I will be a living death before I die." historical
Aaron never encountered a situation where he needed to coax a woman over and over again.Her broken voice was like a needle pricking in his heart. But looking at her pitiful gaze, he could only feel sympathy for her.
His tone turned softer like the first raindrop falling from the sky and replied patting her head softly,
" Don't cry, Esme. I won't hurt you as long as you are obedient to me. Behave yourself. I can give you the whole world if you wish."
His index finger played with a strand of her long hairs as he spoke glaring deep at her pretty face,
" You should know that I want nothing but you."
