“He ran away when the fire broke last night.”
She felt his grip tightening on her chest and frowned. Why was he so worried if that human ran away? Since then he started to care about that! Wait.. did she just call Vincent a human.
She shook her head and turned to see that he had already left her waist and was sitting on the bed.
Hazel did not ask anything but she could feel that he was a bit tense.
“Ask Diana to deal with the matter,” he said after some thought.
“That.. lady Diana is nowhere to be seen. I think she returned with her army.” said the man with a trembling voice from the other side of the room but Hazel could feel the tension rising in her voice.
“Why did it matter so much? He could be found and arrested by the knights of this empire or the army maintained by the council.” she asked as she could not keep her curiosity anymore when he turned to look at her and she noticed his eyes had turned darker.
His eyes only turned darker when he was either hungry or had a desire to kill someone.
“He had too much Beryllium in his hands and we only found the warehouse empty.
The army of vampires would end up easily if he used it or passed it to witches. Their spells and the use of Beryllium would start another war.
We may not lose but a lot of vampires would be killed in it.
I have sent Diana and other vampires in search of it but if he ran away..”
“He would go straight to the warehouse and contact the witches to start war!” Hazel completed his words when he nodded with a sigh.
He stood up from the bed and took out the robe from his body.
Hazel, who was thinking about the situation and its effects, was stunned.
“How can you take out your clothes so casually when i am sitting in front of you?” her teeth gnashed again. He was really taking her as an amusement and playing with her.
Even when she chided him, he paid no effort in wearing clothes.
She did not know whether she was glad that at least he had underwear over his body or should she be disappointed about it. No! What was she even thinking?
She realized that she was ogling his body while complaining about it but it was not her mistake.
That taut muscles, that perfect abs and that lean waist on that strong and wide chest. That fair skin which was glistening with a layer of sweat on his body.
He was a masterpiece that was made only to be drooled. How many hearts had he broken with that handsome and enchanting face but if anyone would have seen him nude, they would have died with nosebleeds.
“At least wipe the drool from your face before complaining. It should look believable that you are dissatisfied after seeing my body.” that smirk on his face! She wanted to wipe it but knew that he was right!
She looked away with some force and moved her hands to her lips to wipe the drool from her face when she realized there was none.
He tricked her! She fumed and looked again to scold him and to have another glimpse of his muscles flexing but to her disappointment he had already worn pants and was buttoning his shirt.
Why was he so fast at these things too? She cursed under her breath.
“I have to go hazel. I wanted to sit and talk to you so that we could sort out our matters but..” he closed his eyes as he did not know how to explain it to her.
“Just remember that I can leave being the emperor of vampires and this whole world for you but I can not back away from my responsibilities until I am the one leading.” He moved closer to her and kissed her forehead gently.
She could feel his reluctance and sighed.
“Have I ever asked you to leave the world for me? I enjoy seeing you in power. So, you do not need to make that face and look at me. Just leave already. I do not want to talk to you anyway.” she pushed him with a look of disdain on her face but her voice was filled with warmth and had already betrayed her true emotions.
He smiled as he leaned his forehead on hers. He did not want to leave.. No! He wanted to hold her and talk about her fears.
He wanted to talk about how she came to know the truth and how her powers returned. There are so many questions that were clawing his heart but due to this damned human he was not able to spend some good time with her.
He inhaled again. Only her scent was able to calm him. Even when he was unsure about her truth, her scent had always attracted him and calmed him.
His closed eyes were not ready to leave and his mind.. He sighed again when she pushed her.
“Now leave. What are you waiting for?” she asked with some annoyance as she pointed towards the door when he raised a brow.
“A kiss, maybe!” He checked his luck when she scoffed and covered herself with the blanket as she laid on the bed again and closed her eyes.
“Well, it was still worth a try!” he muttered more to himself than her as he finally turned to leave from there.
Opening the door, he left from there, closing it again when Hazel’s tensed body had finally relaxed.
The desire to kiss him was more than she had thought. She did not know whether she was relieved or stressed that he did not just kiss her but asked instead as she shook her head when she heard the sound of opening the door again.
“I can not believe that you come back for the kiss when you are dealing with such an urgent matter.”
“Were you going to kiss lord Rafael?”
