chapter 37
After at least two hours of rigorous teaching and threatening, Xavier was quizzing me on what he had taught me
“Can you say, your highness” Xavier asked me, of course, I can say your highness after hearing him say it about five hundred times
“Xavier I already answered twelve correctly,” I said with a groan, who knew this guy could be so pressing
“And I am impressed, that is twelve more than I thought you would get, tell you what, if you answer this I will not only give you ten more minutes of my hand all over your body”
“Don’t make it sound sexual”
“Ten more minutes to your massage, I would give you my diary to read five more pages”
“Celsitudinem tuam”
“Good job” he patted my head ” We can go for dinner now”
“Another training?” I asked
“Of course”
“This is how all Saturdays would be isn’t it”
“Fun right?” he said with an enthusiastic tone, No it will not be fun does he even know what fun is
“Exhausting” I sighed and he soothed my hair
“It is okay, when we are married we can forget about all this, we just have to make sure you pass my father’s test, it is either this or he succeeds in killing you and I end up marrying a president’s daughter”
“Your father would kill me any day”
“Not if you try your hardest to impress him, even I can’t kill my father, I can barely succeed in pressing a knife to his neck”
“I am so dead”
“Not if you practice, what have I been saying all this while?” we walked to the kitchen where Gillian had our dinner prepared,
“Gillian sorry to bother you could you take the food to the dining room”
“Of your highness” She started carrying the dishes of food to the supposed dining room
“I should help her”
“If it isn’t a problem”
I was eating my steak with my fork and knife as Xavier had explained when I noticed he wasn’t even eating anything, he was just watching me like a lost puppy.
“Aren’t you eating anything”
“It’s all dust in my mouth, I can’t really eat anything and taste it”
“Too bad, when was the last time you ate”
“Yesterday”
“Sorry, the last time you ate and enjoyed your meal”
“Monday,” he said
“Poor you, so you have to go down to demon world just to have a good meal” I put a spoon of rice in my mouth
“Not necessarily, I didn’t go to hell on Monday I bit you and that was one tasty dinner” I dropped my fork, I wasn’t offended, he just said my blood was tasty meanwhile it was metal in my mouth, yes I have tasted my own blood deal with it
“So if I let you bite me, would you bring me back in time for my massage
" I said that only because he was helpless, not because you are starting to fall for him, It is way too early for that don’t you think
“Of course”
“Okay then, you can bite me after I am done with dinner”
“Seriously, you would do that for me”
“Now you think I care, of course, since you solemnly swear to bring me back, give me my massage and allow me to read your journal I would do it” he smiled at me
“Are you sure you want this”
“It is just a bite Xavier, do you have to make everything sound like we are about to have sex, bite me already before I change my mind”
“I want to be sure you will not curse me internally if I do this”
“Oh honey, you are already cursed” He nodded with an amused look on his face.
He held my shoulder and looked down, maybe he was trying to summon his teeth from where ever they were. He looked at me again and I saw that his irises were red, I didn’t want to be a bad person but I was already scared shitless
“Are you sure?” he asked again, giving me the impression that he could still forget about it now
“Of course” Xavier buried his head into my neck, then I felt it again, his sharp teeth grazing along the skin of my neck. He seemed confused then he pulled back a little as if he was hesitating. He then finally sank his teeth into my neck.
“Ah” I gasped and he kept his mouth in my place. He slowly removed his teeth from my neck. There was an excruciating pain shooting in all directions of my body. Xavier put my arms around his neck so I would not lose balance as he sucked on my neck.
Everything quickly went dark and I felt my self slump against him. Death is not what it is cut out to be, it was kind of a nice feeling because at first there would be a slight burning in your belly then it just feels like you are having a refreshing nap. But the worst part is waking up from it, the pounding in your head making you wish that you could just die once more.
