「️♔️」️

I felt a pair of lips kissing my jaw and I let out a moan, even if I am still in my sleepy state. Those familiar touch still makes sparks fly, I could feel the butterflies fluttering about inside my stomach as they bloom again, awakened once more.

“Mmm…” I groaned as I opened my eyes to stare back at the pair of eyes which I have grown to love and admire.

He was caressing my cheeks with his hand as he smiles sweetly at me.

“Good morning baby” he murmured in that husky and sexy voice of his, I blushed as realized that we were still both naked.

Last night was amazing, the events keep replaying in my mind making me blush profusely and Damien arched his eyebrows but he knows what I am thinking about as I see his lips twitching as he fights back a smile.

“Good morning” I murmured back as I kissed his lips in which he welcomed. I ran my fingers through his soft hair and he groaned.

We both pulled back but we were still caught up in our daze, both of us are lazily smiling at each other.

He was the first one to get out of the bed and I hid my eyes behind the covers of his bed, still not used in seeing him in all his naked and hot glory. He chuckled at me which made me blush even more.

“You’re so cute baby, but you have already seen all of this. Now come on, we need to shower” I groaned; I was still tired and sore. We didn’t finish our love making not until we realized that it was already morning.

“No. Come back to bed” I moaned as I buried my face back to the pillow, I heard his hearty chuckle before I felt the cold air nip my naked body as the covers and blankets were pulled away from me.

“You know, I should be saying that” he said in amusement. I yelped as I tried to cover my body with my hands but I guess there was no use since he has already seen them before but that didn’t stop his eyes from darkening as he drank in my naked appearance.

He came closer, a smirk playing on his lips as he kissed my stomach and I stopped myself from moaning as I bit my lower lip, my back was arched up in pleasure.

“Don’t…umm… stop…” I moaned but he didn’t heed to my desires as I felt him pull away, I groaned, wanting him to continue what he was doing. There was a wicked glint in his eyes as he smirked at me.

What a teasing mate!

“No…” I groaned as I dropped back to the bed.

He chuckled once more before I felt him pull me up until our chests were touching each other and that simple gesture made me arch my back as I pushed my chest closer to his face and was satisfied to hear him groan in restrain.

“We can continue this in the shower baby. We can also preserve water. Now come on” he carried me towards the bathroom and safe to say I felt sorer than I did before.

As we finished ‘showering’ Damien wrapped a towel around my body much to his protest and I also wrapped a towel around his lower body while blushing like a teenage girl who saw 'it' for the first time.

I also took my delicious time in wiping off the water from his rock hard body, feeling all the hard places of his body as he mimicked me as he dried me off too.

Damien was also the one who dressed me up because I was too ‘sore’ to do it myself and no one was at fault other than him, but secretly I think he enjoyed dressing me up.

After that he carried me in bridal style as we go towards dining table to get our late breakfast.

Damien also fed me breakfast as he began spoon feeding me all the while I sat on his lap, I felt like a spoiled brat.

He laughed at me as I told him that, saying that I deserved to be spoilt, since I am his Queen and I melted at his words. After breakfast Damien went to finish some work in his office with much reluctance and sadness, I too, was sad that he had to go work so early. But he made up for it saying that he would surprise me with something and that made me excited as I nodded eagerly, before he left he gave me a longing kiss as if he was a soldier going to battle.

After two hours of reading I went back to our room, smiling goofily as I recall what had happened last night and this morning.

I was surprised to see a letter on our bed. I took the letter and saw that it had my name on it, I immediately thought that it was from Damien, so with a huge smile I opened it and read out its contents.

,

My heart fluttered in excitement and joy that I quickly went out from our room and made a dash towards Damien’s office. I couldn’t stop thinking about what his surprise.

What will it be?

I am so excited!

I walked through the familiar halls and I could see Damien’s office from my view and my excitement doubled up, I opened the door with a big bright smile.

“Dami-” I stopped talking and my heart felt like it broke and crushed a thousand times over, the pain was intense, excruciating, merciless, more agonizing than what I have experienced from my heat. I don’t think there is a cure for this kind of heartbreak. Tears were already falling non-stop as the view before me broke me, inside and out.

Was this his surprise?

Right before my eyes, Damien is kissing no other than Lily. Lily’s shirt has been ridden up and some of the buttons of her shirt was popped showing her red lacy bra. Tears are falling from my eyes as I cover my mouth with my palm as I silently chocked out my sobs, it hurts. It hurts so much.

The best thing that I did- and probably the thing that I am good at- was to run, away from the heartache that I just freshly experience, away from seeing them together, enjoying their sweet time together.

What hurts more than death itself is having your heart broken by the person you truly love most.

I ran as if someone was chasing me, and maybe there is- pain. I didn’t care that I was running in circles, I didn’t care if I ran too far, I needed it; distance. I didn’t stop running until I reached the dark parts of the woods.

The fallen twigs and branches scraped my clothes and skin but the pain didn’t even reach to me, I was numbed with pain, emotional pain. I then realized that in this part of the woods is foggy, dark and not to mention scary, but I didn’t give a damn. Maybe just like Damien did, he didn’t give a damn if he had hurt my feelings. How could he even lie and cheat with me? Was I not enough to him?

All I want is to scream my anger, my heartbreak and my pain, how could he? I love him, but the question is, does he love me back? Thinking about it, he didn’t even say the words back.

No! He loves me!

But why didn’t he say it back.

Doubt was clogging my brain making the tears fall quicker.

I let out a frustrated and anguished scream before I kicked the nearest tree and screamed once more as the impact of my kick brought pain to me.

I dropped to the ground as I cover my face with my hands and cried my heart out. Then I heard movements in the surrounding, my heart raced knowing the possibility that I may or may not be alone. Maybe I am just hallucinating or making up these sounds that I am hearing. Or maybe it was just a cute and pretty rabbit? Who knows right?

“Who’s there? Are you a cute little rabbit that has no intention of harming me?” my voice came out broken as I search for any movements. Then a silhouette appeared somewhere, I try to make it out but my blurry vision was preventing my sight to improve so I wiped my eyes using the back of my hand.

The tall figure was coming closer and my heart raced up, “Who are you?” I asked scared, my voice coming out pathetic.

“No need to be scared, I won’t hurt you” his voice sounded promising but the familiar tone was contradicting it.

He came closer and closer that I backed away.

“Come on Scarlett; don’t be scared, I don’t bite. Hard” his tone was one that is amused yet malicious at the same time.

“H-how do you kn-ow me? Who are you?” I asked, frightened.

“Already forgot me? Like I said I will soon have you, and I will have you” he said and I tried to register what he said and it hit through me before I got up and dashed my way out of the woods.

I started to run but I was stopped as I look at another figure.

“Thank goodness! Jace! You need to help me, the Vampire King, he’s here and he’s going to get me!” I screamed frantically at him. His face remained blank, without emotion. I was confused, why isn’t he reacting?

“Did you hear me Jace? The Vampire King is here, we have to get back to the Castle and te-”

“Are you really that obtuse?” he cut me off before he grabbed my wrist in a tight grip before he pulled me along with him.

“What are you doing? It’s the other way around!” I hissed at him as I tugged him backwards.

He then let my wrist go making me fall forward to the ground. I looked up to see the Vampire King smirking at me.

“Traitor!” I yelled at Jace as I turned around to face him.

“Bravo my Queen” he gave me a sarcastic clap as he rolled his eyes.
