Chapter 6

Staring out the window as we pass by the tall trees that stretch out with most of the driveway. The familiar castle is barely noticeable until you cross over the hill, the forest line is much closer than ours back home. Being the first daughter of the King and Queen a lot is expected of me and sometimes it’s so overwhelming my heart palpitations remind me to slow down.

The only upside to visiting here is that I get to see Dimitrius. I haven’t seen since my party last week, since he killed that gawn that attacked me. One of my fathers men found his body in the woods. I was shocked when I learned the man Dimitrius killed was Mancer Seagan, the head warrior.

If he was that easy to kill he wasn’t much of a warrior and his students more than likely need to be retrained. I couldn’t say anything to my father when Uncle Bane told him it looks like someone is targeting the kingdom by hitting us in the area that’s the weakest.

We used to have strong warriors, everyone feared them, but that was back when my great grandfather Harry ruled. Harry was brutal with his punishments; twenty strikes weren't enough to satisfy his need to prove his dominance. Harry liked to sentence the ones that were disobedient to death. Goddess help you if you were a female wolf in those days and didn't find your mate by seventeen, you would become a slave in the palace. Harry forced the slaves to please him a different slave for different pleasures you might say. One slave he liked on her knees to satisfy his need to have her swallow his demon seed, the other one he would tie up and torcher her sexually to turn himself on so he could sleep with his third slave but his fourth slave was his most precious. She was untouched by any man or woman, Harry would kneel before her lapping, sucking her wetness. He called her his virgin Mary.

Delores James was one of the best warriors; she led the kingdom into wars and never did we have a death. But she only stayed for a few months before she and her husband moved away. My grandpa Xander struggled to find someone to replace so the kingdom didn’t have a warrior leader for a while, until my dad found Mancer.

And thanks me he’s now dead and my father is back at square one. Thinking someone is out to get the Kingdom. But it’s because of me that the kingdom is left defenseless, I wanted to see him so badly that I put myself in that situation. I should have never been out in the forest. No matter how hard the bond pulled me.

Tyson and Mia weren’t there when we arrived. Tyson had some meetings and decided to have Mia join him. This is the first time I've come and they’ve not been here. Maybe Ginger and Cato can have some time together these next few days and I’ll have this time to see Dimitrius.

We placed our bags in our usual room and Cato knocked on the door.

“Ready?” He asked Ginger, she nodded.

“Will you be okay?” She asked me.

“She’ll be fine. She’s got someone special to see,” Cato told Ginger and pulled her from the room.

Does he know that Dimitrius is my mate?

I shook my head. No way was he telling anyone that I’m his mate, he made it clear to me that I was not to speak a word of it to no living soul.

I made my way to the hidden elevator and scanner lit green with my thumb. Once I got to his floor it was empty. I searched the whole apartment and couldn’t find him. I decided to check the pool and there he was underneath the clear blue water.

“Swimming at this hour?”

“What time is it?,”

“10:00 am,”

“Time doesn’t matter. Why don’t you join me?”

I purse my lips,“I don’t have a swimsuit,” I say, stepping closer toward the edge of the pool.

“You don’t need one. It’s not like I can see you,”He muttered.

“Why do you always say things like that?”

“It’s true Jasmine, have you forgotten that I’m blind?”

“How could I? You never let me forget it, you know what I’m gonna go,” I said, walking out of the door.

Why does he always have to throw that up? Yes, he’s blind! But I don’t see why that matters so much. I don't care, he thinks that if he keeps saying it that I’ll leave and not come back but he’s wrong.

The door to the elevator opens and I step onto it only to be pulled back into the apartment and pushed against the wall.

His white eyes were uncovered, water dripped down his body, his dirty blonde hair could pass for a dark brown when it’s wet.

“Don’t go,” He murmured against the soft skin of my neck, his lips leaving faint kisses.

I don’t know why I get so weak in the knees around him, but I do. I can’t think straight he smells so damn good that it clouds my judgment and does crazy things to my head.

“Why do you always do that?”

He growls against my collarbone before he places a soft wet kiss there. My body reacts to his gesture and so does my mind and before I could stop them the words fell from my lips.

“Why don’t you mark me?”

“Marking you would mean that you're mine and that’s dangerous,” He said, bringing his lips up to mine.

This thing we’re doing now is dangerous. If our parents find out we are both in some deep shit but if that’s what it takes for me to make me his I’m willing to do anything.

“Mate with me then. You don’t have to mark me to make yours,” I said, just as he placed his lips onto mine.

I’m sure that parents would understand my situation after all they were in the same boat not too long ago when my mother was being forced to marry Tyson. That’s why my dad got her pregnant with me so he wouldn’t lose her. I’m not my parents. I'm not ready to get pregnant, especially to a man that doesn’t want me.

My mom knew that I was going through with this wedding. She had Doctor Jacob put me on the depo shot as a prevention of birth control and I’ve been keeping up with the shots every three months.

Dimitrius doesn’t have to worry about anything and neither do I.

Dimitrius lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his torso. He carries me down the dark hallway. I’m too busy kissing his neck to pay attention to where we were going. Big mistake on my part because Dimitrius throws me into the pool.

What an ass!

The water hit my body like a ton of bricks. It’s so cold that it felt like needles poking my whole body. My lungs burn and I swim to the surface. The pool is deep. It took me a few minutes before I finally reached the surface and sucked a needy gulp of air.

“Why the hell did you do that?”

He doesn’t reply; he jumps into the water and swims beneath me, circling me like a shark circles its prey.

When he surfaces he pulls me into him and I bask in his warmth.

“You’re cold,” He said and swim to the Edge and did something a black remote then he made his way back to me.

“The water will warm up soon,” He said, pulling me back into him.

“Why did you throw me in?”

He tilted his head giving me a glimpse of his chiseled jaw and a devious smirk curled his lips.

“You were aroused,” He shrugged, “So I cooled you off,” He adds.

The nerve of him.

“I wasn’t aroused, I was just stating that you could mate with me without marking me. You always pleasure me so why not make love to me?”

He growls, jerking me close.

He’s so close his white eyes stand out in the dark room.

“That’s the problem. I wouldn’t make love to you, I would destroy you and ravish myself as I take you apart from the inside. Making love means to be gentle there is nothing gentle about me and I would devour you by the time I was done with your body you’d wish you never asked me,”

Being in the water he can’t feel the wetness that he has pooling between my legs. Goddess, the way he talks makes it so tempting.

The more I’m with him the stronger the temptation gets. I know Dimitrius is trying to scare me away by saying what he did but he only sparked my curiosity. I don’t care if he doesn’t make love to me; he can do whatever he pleases. My body is his for the taken.

Devour me Dimitrius, send me into the world of pleasures where my body is at your mercy, swallow me whole into your wildest desires.
