Awakened by the Vampire Prince 2(7)
The thing that tore at him the most was that Esral had just accepted the whole thing. She hadn’t even tried to rectify the situation. Why hadn’t she turned York down? It didn’t make any sense. Pale and shivering, Esral hadn’t looked herself. Maybe she was ill and wasn’t thinking straight. She had refused to look him in the eye. That fact alone ate at him like nothing ever had.
The princess was not in her chamber, and since York was with her, there was no one to explain to him what the fuck was going on. Out of sheer desperation, Xavier sought out Gideon.
After knocking on the male’s door several times, he put his forehead to the wood, feeling helpless for the first time in his whole life. Xavier could hear that the male was rutting and could either stand out in the hallway and wait for him to finish or he could go in anyway. His patience had dried up some time ago along with his sanity.
“Gideon,” he growled. “Stop for one second. I need to ask…” To fucking hell with it. Xavier opened the door so hard that he nearly pulled it from its hinges. The big male had an elven female caged under his body and was thrusting into her like his life depended on it. The female’s eyes widened and she gasped mid-shriek as she caught sight of him. Xavier kept his eyes on Gideon, but out of the corner of his eye he could see her scrambling to cover herself with a sheet.
Gideon slowed his thrusting but kept rocking into the female even though he clearly knew that Xavier was there. The male’s hands closed on her hips so that she couldn’t escape. At least Gideon had the good grace to nod his head. The male’s lips were a thin white line as he pushed back into the whimpering elf. A yellow robe lay strewn on the floor at Xavier’s feet. He stepped over it as he walked further into the room.
“Hungry, my lord?” The male grunted. “I would recommend the local offerings.” He smiled, looking down at the female who had dropped the sheet and was pushing back against Gideon matching him thrust for thrust now.
“No thanks,” Xavier growled. He had shared a female with Gideon on occasion so it was only natural that the male would assume it was why Xavier was here.
Gideon shrugged, finally stopping moving but he kept his dick buried deep inside the elven female. “Is there something else I can help you with?” The male’s chest heaved. “I can be ready in five minutes.” A light sheen of sweat covered his body.
“Hey,” the female moaned.
“Relax, honeybun. I will make you come first. I promise” Gideon shook his head and grinned at Xavier. He then leaned forward and cupped his hand between the female’s legs. She squirmed and panted, clearly enjoying Gideon’s ministrations.
“Where is York?” Xavier tried to keep the snarl of desperation from his voice.
Gideon looked confused. “He’s with the princess. Why? What has happened?” He must’ve quit playing with the female because she made a frustrated noise.
Xavier shook his head, not wanting to relay the events of the last half hour. “Do you have any idea where he and the princess could be?”
Gideon shook his head. “The only places that she visits are her chamber, the eating hall, her father’s chamber and the healers’ chambers…oh, and York mentioned that she visited with Keto once. That’s it. Do you want me to help you find them?”
Xavier shook his head. “Enjoy your time off.”
Gideon’s grin turned into a groan as he withdrew and plunged back into the female. “I will.” He said through clenched teeth as he picked up where he had left off rutting the female in deep fast strokes. Not even waiting for Xavier to leave. Flesh slapped flesh and the female screamed loudly as the door closed. He knew that Gideon had to be drinking now, because the sounds indicated that the female was having the orgasm of her life.
It took two hours and a fucking public announcement, made to all the elven folk, for him to finally find the happy couple. Xavier looked to the heavens and asked for strength. The sky was a riot of pinks and yellows. They were standing in a clearing in the forest. In any other situation it would’ve felt good to have solid ground underneath his feet and the open sky above his head.
Keto had wasted no fucking time in calling the eleven folk together. Xavier watched as hundreds of the fuckers gathered around a rocky formation. One wide, flat looking rock seemed to balance on an outcrop of rocks. The royals and their elven guard stood on top of the rock which was covered in what looked like rose petals.
Xavier chose to stay on the outskirts of the clearing, as far away from the proceedings as possible. He folded his arms across his chest and grit his teeth to prevent himself from roaring as York clasped Esral’s elbow. They smiled at one another. Fucking smiled. Looking every bit the happy couple, as Keto announced that they were to be mated in three days. The male extended an invitation to all present to attend the blossoming ceremony. The elves erupted. They clapped and danced. Some of them even pulled flute-like instruments from hidden pockets and began to play. Xavier tasted bile, he spat on the grass next to him, unable to take his eyes off of Esral who looked wide eyed at the sea of silken robes surrounding her.
