Adrian had never felt this anxious before. But he had also never felt this arouse either. Of course, he had gotten erections over the years but none had ever been for a woman
It was a secret only known by his parents and the higher council. Prince Adrian Lystone was impotent. He had been from the very stage he hit puberty. Ever since he could remember he never felt any physical attraction for anyone before, neither man nor a woman could arouse him. This matter would prove to be a big problem in the future because Adrian was expected to be wedded when he took the throne and it was only right he produced an heir.
According to his father, it was not something he needed to worry about. For Naelex was by far the most wealthy Coven in the country and everything possible would be done to find a solution to the Prince's problems. But so many years had passed now yet nothing had improved.
That was why it never crossed his mind that he had s*x with that woman. It wasn't the first time a woman had crawled into his bed while he was drunk to seduce him, but it had all ended futilely. Sometimes those women would try various tricks over the night, unwilling to give up the opportunity, but he would wake up feeling the same because they had failed in their task. Those women would be punished accordingly for daring to try such a thing with the Vampire Prince. But he hated to admit that he punished them more out of anger than their deeds. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he was hoping one of them would succeed. If he could sleep with just one woman and produce an heir ( even a bastard born or half-blood) then all his problems would be solved.
Adrian would never stoop so low as to try bedding different women, not when he felt nothing more but disgust at the thought of having to be touched by them. That was why he drank often, it was easier when he was less sober.
When he woke up this morning and found a woman nestled in his side, he felt confused and disgusted. Confused because he was naked and had dried sweat and white fluids all over him, the woman also had bite marks which must have come from him. She was naked too. He dispelled the slight thrill in his guts at the thought that they might have slept together. That was impossible. This woman was a werewolf, she smelt like it, Adrian had seen women much more attractive than her and none of them had aroused any want in him. There was no way they had s*x.
He hurriedly cleaned up and dressed. He watched the sun rise out of the bedroom window while waiting for the woman to arouse him. It wasn't long before she did. He suspected that she was awake much earlier than now but had willingly refused to open her eyes. An incredibly lazy woman.
Her eyes fluttered open and her honey-brown eyes trailed over to him. He watches her try to pull herself to a sitting position only to flinch back in pain. Was it the bite marks or bruises that had caused her to react like that? He didn't bother asking. His glare hardened on her.
" Who are you?" Adrian asked. " How did you get here?"
Her eyes widened in slight shock, there was recognition in her eyes as she watched him. When she opened her mouth to speak however only a single I was uttered, and she gave no further response. This irritated the prince to no end. Most of the women would always cower before him and start pleading, giving out names that he'd never heard of, but this one was quite brave. She dared not to even answer him?!
Can you not even talk!?" He snapped " Who sent you?"
" N..no one sent me"
" You wolves are truly cunning. You succeeded in crawling into my bed without me knowing, you must think so highly of yourself now. Was it my cousin who had you come here? Did you drug me?"
That had to be it. He wasn't feeling hungover so it was not alcohol he had taken last night. Now his mind was not but a blurry mess and he can't recall anything that might have happened the day before. Who was this woman? How had he met her?
The woman stared at him wordlessly, there was slight fear in her eyes but also an emotion he could not place a finger on. She shuffles out of the bed with a slight wince. For some reason he couldn't comprehend, his mouth goes dry at the display of her nude body all marked up by teeth bites that had no doubt come from him. Watching her bend and move made his stomach go warm and he was rendered speechless at the feeling. What was happening? He had seen more attractive women naked before, why hadn't he reacted this way with them at all?
Only when he heard footsteps and saw the retreating figure of the woman did he snap out of his thoughts. He runs to her side in a flash and grabs onto her wrist harshly. If she was human, he would have most definitely fractured the bone there.
" Where the heck do you think you are going?"
" I am leaving. Isn't that what you wanted?" She snapped. Adrian wanted to roll his eyes, did she expect him to let her go after what happened? She must have witnessed his lack of action last night and the last thing he needed was for the wolf clan to hear a word about this. No, he couldn't let her go like this
" Wanted? I want to know who you are and how you got in my bed! Do you think after what happened am just going to let you leave "
" I already told you no one sent me! We are both adults and the possibility of us ending up in bed together isn't that low"
" No" he spoke with deep disgust. " I would never lower myself to sleep with your kind". The Wolves were below them, he would not have considered her if he was sober.
The woman's eyes harden at his words and she starts another effort to pull herself free. She might not be human but she wasn't a complete Wolf either. Her strength was weak and nothing compared to his own. He doesn't even have to put much effort into his grip to hold her still
" Let go of me!"
" Don't struggle" The struggling was just annoying him even more. He pressed himself closer to her to keep her in place. However, this seemed to have alerted her even more as she started twisting and shaking against him.
" Get your f*****g hands off of me!"
With her moving body against him, it was no doubt that their lower halves would also rub together. But what he did not expect was the pang of pleasure that shot through him at having her backside rub against him. Adrian gasped in shock as he felt himself become hot all over and his eyes visibly dilated.
" Stop f*****g moving" he growled out when the urge to not thrust against her became too much to handle. His breathing was hard and he hadn't even realized he had buried his nose in the crook of her neck. Suddenly the foul scent of mud and rotten leaves became rather alluring. It made his mouth water with the urge to sink his fangs into her pale neck and feel the warm blood fill his mouth while he thrust himself against her.
The woman stopped struggling instantly, she must have also noticed the tenth pressing into her. Adrian pulled back reluctantly to look down at himself in shock. He hadn't been imagining it, he was aroused, and for this half-blood woman for that matter. It stunned him and he didn't know how exactly to react.
Sensing his distracted state, she wrenched her wrist free and dashed out of the door before he could stop her.
" Wait!" Adrian called out to her but the woman didn't listen. She ran quite fast for a hybrid Wolf. He immediately strengthened his robes to cover the obvious and ran towards the living room, most of his men had just stepped into the living space after hearing the slight commotion.
" Your Highness, is something wrong?"
" Get the car. Quick before her scent fades away!" The man looks confused but doesn't lag. He hurried up to gather the rest of the men. Adrian was for once grateful for his heightened senses because then he wouldn't know what to do if he lost her.
* * *
They can track her down to an unpopulated area. The prince chose to remain in the car if only to gather his thoughts together. He had already frightened the woman earlier and he didn't want to make it worse. He needed her cooperation. He needed her to come willingly with him back to his Coven. But if she refused however he'll have to take her back by force.
Hours passed by like this with him waiting. The sun had gone down by now, and Adrian was now almost tempted to leave the car and go into the building to find her. But he spotted her walking out before he could do so, he released a relieved sigh. Finally.
" Should we grab her your Highness?"
Adrian ignored the suggestion and pushed himself out of the car. The woman must have spotted him earlier, but she didn't run away as he had expected but instead walked directly towards him. She was followed closely behind by blond hair.
" Why did you run away?" He asked, more like complained. Because things could have been a whole lot easier if she hadn't run off and wasted his time.
" I felt threatened"
" Threatened? You were the one who crawled into my b..."
" Enough of that" she cut him short hurriedly. Judging from the nervous glance she sent to the girl beside her it seemed she didn't want her to know about their one-night stand. Maybe if she refused to come with him willingly he could use that as a threat. " You came for me didn't you?"
" You will come with me"
" I plan to"
" You are?" He asked in surprise. She was just willing to come along? No demands? No requests? No struggles? This was beyond his expectation, it made him even more suspicious. He narrowed his eyes at her. " What's the catch"
" That Suzy will be allowed to come as well. A few weeks from now"
" Fine"
Adrian said this without thinking twice. It would cause a bit of drama when the Coven finds out he had allowed not one but two werewolves into vampire territory. But he was the future King. His father would understand once he knows the reason behind his actions.
" Get in already. You've wasted enough of my time" Adrian settles back into the vehicle while keeping the door open. He watches from the corner of his eyes as the woman whispers something to her friend, they talk in hush voices as if they didn't know Vampires could read minds. He wasn't planning to however and he doubts any of his men were interested enough to try.
With one very long stretched hug they finally parted, the blond girl returned to her home, and his one-night stand entered the car, she sat stiffly beside him looking rather uncomfortable.
" What's your name?" Adrian asked as the car started up. If she was going to linger around him then he'd rather not continue calling her " Woman"
" Lisa Marrow"
" My name is..."
" Adrian" She spoke. She did like cutting him short. " I know who you are"
" Do you know why I came back for you"
"It's you who has memory loss"
She doesn't know. That much he was sure of. But it was fine, she'll find out his plans for her eventually.
