"Say it again, Felicity," Dimitrius whispered in my ear. Tonight held many firsts. My first kiss, my first of having sex, and my first time saying 'I love you, ' to a man. Was it worth it? Definitely.

"I love you with all my heart, body, and soul, King Dimitrius, " I told him while looking straight in his love-filled eyes.

Still naked, I felt Dimitrius' member pressing up against my leg. We were both lying down, facing each other while his hand played with the strands of my hair.

He said, "I would love to hear that for the rest of my life." Then, I realized something. Being a pure blood, the girl from the prophecy, the mate of the vampire King, does any of that make me an immortal creature?

"Dimitrius, will I ever die?" I asked hoping to get an answer. His face turned to a small frown and his eyes left mine for a second.

"I don't know, Felicity. You grew up just like a human being but with that mark on your neck, I don't know what would happen."

He landed a soft kiss on my lips which I returned with a passionate one. "You're worrying, " I whispered. "Don't, Dimitrius."

"How can I not? I don't want to lose you, " he replied while holding my hand with his. "I just got you back."

"I'm only nineteen, Dimitrius. We have decades. I mean, I'm going to grow grey and old, have wrinkles, white hair, weak bones, but you'll be there, right?" I asked and thought about the future we may have together.

"Have you ever thought of being a vampire?"

Silence embraced our atmosphere as I started at him with wide eyes while he waited for my response. Of course, it has crossed my mind by a few times about the thought of becoming one but do I want to?

I don't know.

"Dimitrius, I think I'd want to live a normal life for the moment. Do things such as travelling the world and falling in love. Experience humanity, " I told him honestly.

"Who said you can't do that when you're one of us?" He asked and continued by saying, "I was twenty-two when my human life ended, Felicity. Sure, there were times that I missed it but being a vampire also held its own advantages. I met you, the mate bond happened."

I gulped as he traced his fingers on my skin, creating small heart patters. "I don't know, Dimitrius. I need time to think about it."

He nodded his head and laid his head flat, not facing me anymore. While looking at the ceiling, he said, "Just know that whatever you choose, I'll support you. Even as you grow old looking like a grandmother, I'll love you with my life and when the time has come and you're about to take your last breath, I will die with you."

I stood up, sitting down beside him. "You don't have to do that, Dimitrius. You were gifted with eternity, don't end it because of me. You know that I have less than a century to live if I choose to die as a human."

He shrugged his head. "By then, I have lived my life, Felicity. Every second and every breath I take with you will be the proof that I lived eternity to the fullest because if you die, I don't want to be in pain. I want to be in peace with you. Besides, vampires would want a new leader after the two of us. Our heir, " he whispered.

"Dimitrius?" I called out his name and he sat up and leaned his head on my shoulder. "Are you hoping to have kids now?"

"I want to have children, Felicity but I know that you're too young. I will wait however long it takes for you to be ready and bear a child of mine, " he smiled and rubbed my belly which made me laugh.

"You're so sweet, kind, and gentle, Dimitrius. I never thought you would have a side of love in your cold and dark personality, " I admitted.

Again, he kissed me but this time, he kissed my mark and gently sucked on it that caused me to shiver in pleasure. "I'm not gentle, Felicity. Just know that what we did was making love but every day after today, be ready because you'll never see a gentle side of me."

His low growl in his throat made me moan as continued bruising my neck. "Dimitrius, " I called out and he stopped, admiring the artwork he gave me.

"Lie down and get rest, Felicity. Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to everyone."

While sleep was slowly consuming me, I felt Dimitrius get out of bed and come back with a cloth in his hand. His sweet gesture of cleaning me sent a smile on my face before sleep drifted.

The last thing I heard was, "I love you, Felicity. Good night, my queen."

After a serene slumber that I haven't had for quite a long time, I woke up to the peppering kisses of my beloved one.

"Good morning, " he whispered in my ear as he snuggled deeper into my neck while caging my figure in between his arms.

"Good morning to you too, " I smiled while gently grazing my hand in his hardened member.

He moaned softly and said, "Unless you're not sore anymore and you want some morning action, I suggest you stop, love, " he huskily said.

Dimitrius scooted even closer and tried to kiss my lips but I moved away. "Morning breath, " I said and covered my mouth.

"I don't care, " he said and kissed me with passion. I just gave in and let him dominate the kiss. After our intense making out session, I pulled out, breathless, and stood up.

"Join me for a shower?" I asked and in that moment, he jumped out of the bed and with his vampire speed, he rushed to the bathroom and opened the shower.

"Felicity, the water's getting cold, " he teased and I laughed. We went inside the bathroom and he was already naked. I must admit, I'm still not used to seeing him bare.

I fiddled with the hem of my night gown, unsure if I am comfortable enough to undress before him. What if he sees the scars? Yesterday night, the lights were dim, now, he could see through me clearly.

"Do y-you want to go ahead?" I asked nervously while hesitating.

"Felicity, you're beautiful, you don't have to shy around me." He stepped towards me and slowly undid the zipper of my clothes. "Don't make me fuck you into the thought that you're the most gorgeous woman in this entire universe, " he whispered in my ear before my dress pooled at my feet.

"O-okay, " I stuttered and stepped into the tub where we both fitted and enjoyed the aroma of lavender and roses.

Dimitrius massaged my back as I laid in his chest while my hands held onto his thighs, tracing in circular patters.

"If you were still a human, who do you think you would have been?" I asked him and he thought for a while before answering.

"I have always dreamed of being a pilot, the feeling of flying freely without anything on your shoulders like responsibilities and problems, " he said.

"You're a vampire, Dimitrius, haven't you traveled in a plane before?"

He shrugged his head with a 'no' in response. "I aslo promised myself that when the time comes and I soar through the sky, I would be holding the woman of my life."

I smiled at the thought of two of us, looking at the world below while we both hold each other's hands and fly.

"One day, we'll tick that off your bucket list, " I told him.

He washed my hair before slowly travelling his hands on my body. I was starting to feel tingles again but I disregarded it as he washed my arms.

"It bruised, " he stated. "It looks like I really hurt you, " Dimitrius said and kissed the marks.

"You did hurt me but in both ways we pleased, Dimitrius. It's just a bruise, it'll fade away and when it's gone, aren't you going to give me another one?" I laughed and his eyes were swirling with lust.

"Damn right, I am."

He then continued by washing my body and I took the turn to wash his hair and massage his scalp. After we finished showering, he dried my body and carried me bridal style towards the bedroom.

"Dimitrius?" I questioned while holding the pair of his hoodie and sweats. "You want me to wear this?"

"Yes, and add this, " he threw a cap on the bed. "Are we going somewhere?" I asked and he said no.

"I just don't want anyone else to see what's mine."

"Come on, King Dimitrius, the moment I step out of this room you know that everyone won't dare to touch me because of this mark, " I pointed to my neck.

He sighed in defeat as I pulled a beautiful blue dress with black flats. Dimitrius held my hand as we both stepped out of the room and walked towards his dining hall.

When he opened the door, the previous chattering stopped and as everyone looked towards our direction, they all went on their knees and bowed down.

Before I could ask Dimitrius what was happening, Hayden, his second in command proudly spoke,

"All hail to the queen!"

And everyone looked up to meet my eyes as they said in unison,

"Queen Felicity!"

Once more,

I am a queen.
