CHAPTER FOUR: THE LADY
1059 Words
Dominic's POV
Looking at the angel in my arms I feel like the most powerful person on this earth. I've walked around for more than two centuries hoping, praying she would turn up. That she would come to me .
She never did up until now.
I saw my lady love a week ago. Yes, today at the stream wasn't the first. I'd kept a watch for so long even though every instinct in my body was trying desperately to snatch her little body away from those dogs and engulf her in my embrace. Unfortunately I couldn't do that.
Stupid ancestors and their stupid rules.
She is the embodiment of perfect, of everything beautiful to grace this earth and she is mine. One look into her eyes and I knew she was the one. My brown eyed angel. With her perfect, shiny long dark tresses, perfect petite figure and the cutest face I had ever seen. She was ethereal. And she was MINE.
The thought in itself made me want to beat on my chest and declare it to the whole world like some caveman. The elation I felt with her in my arms, indescribable.
Vampires are creatures too. No matter what is said about us being undead and whatnot, it's not entirely true. Yes our bodies are what someone would call dead but preserved in the state prior to perish, cold and hard. That didn't mean we didn't have souls, or feelings or instincts. And every instinct of mine was roaring with triumph at the fact that my lady was in my arms, right where she belongs.
She washed away every horrible thing from my life. The loneliness, the isolation, the killings… everything. Even those pathetic wannabe humans.
It was pathetic how those human girl's tried to get their hands on me always. Even after multiple rejections and cold shoulders they'd be willing to drop to their knees and w***e around for some attention. In those moments all I've wanted to do was to snap their necks right off for trying to touch what rightfully belonged to my lady, and my last only. I've always hated human women for this, not my lady though, she has always been something else. And now she's mine.
My beautiful lady.
Slowly, like a butterfly flapping its wings for the first time, she opened her eyes. She looked around my room before her eyes focussed on my face. The deep warm brown met the cold crimson one's.
That's when the screaming began.
She shouted and thrashed in my arms, scratched the bedding and tried to kick me.
Tried…
"Stop moving or I'll bound you."
I didn't mean to sound harsh or scare my lady but it was necessary. If she wouldn't stop thrashing around she might well have injured herself or worse…
She keeps looking at me with those innocent brown eyes filled with fear and my heart constricts everytime, but I can't do much about it. It's got to be this way for us, I'm hers and she's mine and sooner or later she needs to accept that.
It could be easier if you marked her…
No. I shut my subconscious down immediately. Marking her right now, when her body is under so much distress, both mentally and physically will be disastrous. I might just lose my lady forever, she may not be able to handle the shock… and then there's those mutts I need to think about. They will come for me, I'm sure of it. I snatched a human away from their territory without the said humans consent. They will come for a war and to get my lady back.
The thought in itself provokes me to no end. I won't, I will never let anything or anyone take her away from me. As these thoughts go around my head, my hands enveloping her tighten slightly as I cover her small form with my massive one. Trying to get all of her in one go, just taking in her feeling, the warmth of her soft body. Everything about her is so soft and dainty and beautiful. Nothing a beast like me ever would deserve, but I'm a selfish bastard and I'm never giving her up.
"You have to submit to me love. It's the only way," I tell her, keeping my voice as gentle as possible while slowly drawing circles on her back to soothe her.
"Never."
"Never huh? Then what about, when your precious little friends walk over here, to my territory? I don't want to hurt you baby, ever but I will hurt them if they try to take you away from me. I will hurt all of them. I will end anyone who stands in my way of you. Do you want that to happen?"
She looks at me, eyes wide in shock, her small body shivering uncontrollably.
“Get off of me” she screeched.
“Relax love, it all good now. Just take a deep breath.” I try to calm her down but to no avail. My love keeps thrashing in my arms and it's all I can do to keep my strength in control so as I don't accidentally end up hurting her in order to keep her calm.
"Stop moving right now or I will make it happen." I warn her, my voice booming over her struggle and whimpers. Still she chooses to ignore me and that's when I lose my own bit of temper. What could I have done anyways? She wouldn't listen to reason and I didn't want her to hurt herself. Ever.
Turning our bodies around, I pinned her underneath me on the bed. My large six foot three frame covered her small five foot three, the burly muscles covering every inch of my body extended over her petite and thin frame and God did that please me. Having her small frame underneath me, our faces close to each other, breathing in her irresistible scent. It was all too much and I couldn't control myself anymore.
She went completely still in my arms at the sudden turn of events, and having her this way in my arms was just too much for me. I buried my face in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply, her scent like a drug to me.
The only drug I'd ever want.
And then I kissed her.
