"wait, what?" the surprises was becoming too much. she hated surprises.

"I'm sorry, my lady but..." Sara was interuppted by the door opening. She went rigid when she saw who came through.

"what is going on here?" the king's voice boomed.

"Nothing, Sara was just leaving to run an errand" she winked at the rigid girl and watched her scurry away.

"oh, okay...anyway...I was thinking about you all day..." he pulled her in close to him.

"hmm...really?" she feigned a gasp "so that means you weren't concentrating" she frowned playfully

"yeah you got me" he giggled. "I wasn't concentrating because I was trying not to forget what your lips tasted like" she bit her lower lip.

"I see but that's a problem, because I can't tell you that you have to do that by yourself and give me a feedback, deal?"

"yeah, that's a good deal but what if I want more?" his eyes flickered to her poised pink lips

"I guess we'll have to make another deal" she giggled burying her face in his chest. "you smell great, Luke"

"I love it when you call me by my name...say it again" he burrowed his face in her auburn hair.

"Luke..." she moaned when she felt his fangs graze her neck. "...are you sure you want that now?"

"I can't hold myself any longer, Kehlani...it's so hard to control my urges around you" his voice was gruff.

she didn't blame him, it was her blood. the first time he tasted her blood was when he turned her into his kind, a Vampire. He couldn't stop himself and ended up drinking from her. she instantly became his addiction.

"Then go for it...just be gentle, please" she wasn't sympathetic but she knew now what he's going through.

Once he gained his permission, he bit down on her neck as gently as he could, Kehlani's senses went dull and her vision blurred, her legs soon began to feel wobbly

"Luke... you're taking too much" she mumbled weakly and that was when he realised he had taken more than he intended and began to panic. She was already unconscious when he came back to his senses.

"Kels, wake up...I'm sorry...please to go." he carried her in his arms, took her to their bed and cradled her.

"Luke...are you okay?" her eye fluttered open, her eyes were pale, they always were whenever he took too much.

"I should be asking you that...I'm sorry I took too much again...I just..." he couldn't look at her..

"it's alright...you have every right to my blood now...I'll just have to make more next time" she smiled weakly.

"Silly, don't say that. I'll just have to find an alternative. I can't keep doing this to you. The nation needs it's Queen, I need my Queen." he planted a gentle kiss on her lips and she smiled.

"what did they taste like?"

"what?" he was confused

"you wanted to know what my lips tasted like?" she mused.

"oh, let's see...I don't remember" he scratched the back of his neck with a boyish grin on his face. He leaned in a captured her lips in his. it felt like a perfect embrace.

"Oranges."

"hmm...nice. I ate oranges today"
