Chereads / Paris Grimm | Vampire Prophecy / Chapter 67 - C65: Victor’s Exotics

Chapter 67 - C65: Victor’s Exotics

Victor's POV:

"What pet are you interested in buying?" Donnie asked me. I frowned and shrugged.

"Dunno. I'm going to look around. Want something while I'm here with you?" I asked him as I walked between the cages and looked at the babies inside.

"N-no. I prefer to live alone personally. I get headaches from my gift I inherited from my mother." He told me and eyed over the cages. "Something young?" He asked me.

"Well it means that they grow up to love me," I said calmly and shrugged. "I'm not looking for a romantic relationship, and getting a baby ensures that I'll be a father figure instead," I told him. "I don't want a mate. I need a bed to myself." He nodded as he followed me and grabbed my hand quickly and rubbed it. I saw something that caught my eyes then- a cute baby fox that reminded me of Trick with its red fur. The fox was curled up to a few more of its littler mates against a blanket. I gasped and rushed over to the cage quickly. OH, MY HELLISH DAYDREAMS~ IT'S A BABY TRICK! I snatched my hand away from him then reached through the bars, barely touching the fox's soft fur. "Hi~! Hi there cutie~" He looked up at me quickly and a few of his litter mates looked at me curiously. He's a little younger than when I got Trick. He eyed me over and looked like he could barely keep his eyes open from being stirred awake from his nap time. He twitched his ears and snuggled up against my hand quickly. I gasped and rubbed under his chin. "Hey~" I'm so taking him home with me. "I'm going to be your new daddy," I told him sweetly and leaned my face against the cage to get closer to him.

"Are you interested in purchasing?" I heard a woman say as she walked up. "My name is Anne and I run this department. Looks like he's peeked your interest. He's four years old in human years. He's not old enough to transform into his human form yet. Give him another year before his transformations kick in. If you purchase him, we'll give you a guide to baby fox transformations. It'll walk you through what to give him and the correct dosages along with other neat things to take care of him with." I smirked and looked at her then.

"I've raised thirteen foxes before, and I've taken care of fourteen. I know what I'm doing," I told her happily. "I just need him." I looked back at the cage and smirked. "Hey cutie~" I rubbed under his chin some more and gave a playful purr. "Let's get you out of there and back home with me."

"Alright, would you like to meet him?" She asked and then took out a set of keys before unlocking the cage for me and waited for me to move before opening it up. "I love little baby foxes," she told me and giggled. I purred as I watched her then snatched him out as soon as it was open and kissed the top of his head.

"Hey cutie," I purred in his ear and then rubbed it. "Aren't you just a little sweetheart? I bet you love mushrooms and you're going to give me hell when you start stealing my shoelaces and my keys~"

"So, you want him?" She asked to make sure. He twitched his cute fluffy ears my way and wagged his tail a little as he looked at me before biting down into my fingers and started to suck on them. "It's around the time we wake them up to feed them," she told me thoughtfully. I laughed and watched him then kissed his head.

"I'll feed him if you give me a bottle," I told her calmly. "I'll go ahead and get him. We can fill out the paperwork while he feeds." I shut the cage door for her and clicked the lock shut then looked at her. "We can talk about price too while we're at it."

"Sure!" She gave a huge smile and took her key back. "He's going to cost around fourteen hundred," she told me sweetly. "After all he's a life." She started to walk with me out of the isles of cages. "Right this way, we'll get something in his tummy and get his documents settled." I nodded and followed her quickly as I wrapped my coat around him, letting him stick his head out of the collar of it as I zipped him up into it and gave him another kiss on his head. Cutie~ He licked my chin before sucking on it and gave a hungry growl, one I recognized from the many times I've had baby foxes. Donnie followed us and awed over the babies we passed on the way out. The lady Anne lead us into a nice room where her desk was set up. Her name was on it and there was paperwork everywhere in the room. She motioned for me to sit down as she paged someone before sitting down.

"I've got my assistant on the way. We'll get her to get the baby fox some food." She shuffled around her desk before pulling out an envelope and yanked out the familiar thick documents I've seen before in this type of business. Donnie sat down in one of the chairs in front of her desk and crossed his legs. She started to fill out a few things before giving a huge smile. "Alright, these are what you sign," she told me. "They're for me to keep." She yanked out another envelop then as she handed me the papers and went through the envelop before pulling out a few sheets of papers stapled together. "This is the official paperwork we have on him. It's his birth certificate basically and documents of his time here." She held them out. "You keep these. We have a copy to keep on file."

"Alright," I said calmly then started to sign them as I kept one hand on the fox to keep him from falling down my coat. I laughed and gave her back the papers after signing them then took the new papers from her before I handed her a bag of gold, I normally keep on me. I kissed the baby fox's head and smirked at him. "I need a name for you~"

"Thank you! Would you like the book on foxes we have by chance?" She asked curiously. I heard her assistant come in then. "Hi Angel, we need some food for a fox," she told her. Her assistant nodded before walking out quickly.

"Mmm, I guess I'll go ahead and take the book. It's been a few centuries since I've cared for one," I told her calmly. "I'll keep it for emergencies." I looked down at the little guy then gave him my finger, rubbing it against his muzzle to give him something to make him feel better while he waited. She got up and walked over to a bookshelf before grabbing a book that was repeated on it and walked it over to me. The cover had a fox on it. I took it from her and put it down in my lap before I gave her a nod. "Thank you, ma'am," I told her then kissed the little fox's head. What am I going to name him? I don't know....

"Let's see.... Birth certificate, receipt, official documents of the process, and I think that's it for us," she told me. "We got everything exchanged and we both have our own copies of everything. Take good care of him and he'll turn into a sugar bear," she giggled out. I nodded to her and leaned back in my seat as I waited on her assistant to come back with food.

"Thanks Anne," I told her and smirked as I rubbed his head. "He's going to be so spoiled by the time I've got him raised~"

"I bet," she giggled out. Her assistant walked in then with a bowl of melted cheese that had a few strawberries chopped up into it along with a few nuts. She gave a sweet smile then.

"A going away present," she said and giggled. I glanced it over and slowly took it from her. The heck? Is this for him or for me? I don't know. I won't ask. I'll just smile and nod. I smiled at her and nodded.

"Alright, thank you," I told her then smirked.

"For him," she explained as she saw the look on my face. "It's a delicious treat." I nodded and laughed as I pulled him out of my coat and sat him on my lap as I put the bowl in front of him, watching curiously. I've never fed this to my foxes before. Maybe they like it.... He sniffed it before licking his lips and started to eat it, getting the cheese all over him as he started to walk into the bowl and got the milky cheese all over him as he avoided the nuts and strawberries to suck down the liquid part of it. I laughed as I watched him and shook my head.

"You're such a mess~" I told him and smirked. "I'm going to have to give you a bath silly." At least I got everything in my castle recently remodeled and up to date. Everything is state of the art in there now.... He watched as the bowl fell into the floor then yipped at it and pounced after it with another hungry growl. I laughed as I watched him then tsked. "You're going to get it all dried up in your fur," I murmured. He laid down in it and started to chew on the bowl as he wagged his tail. I tsked and picked him up, moving him away from the bowl and kissed the top of his head. "Donnie, let's get going. I need to give him a bath before it gets dried in his fur," I told him and grabbed Donnie's hand, teleporting us into the bathroom at my castle. I turned on the sink water as I sat the papers aside then got the water warm as I stuck my fox under the faucet and started to rinse the cheese out of his fur. He growled at the water and squirmed to get out of the sink as he snapped his jaws at it. "No, behave," I told him as I rubbed the water into his fur. "We're getting that cheese out of your fur. Donnie, run down to the kitchen and get me some fresh mushrooms. We'll reward him when his bath is over," I told him and smirked. Donnie nodded before leaving the bathroom. My little fox let out a few sassy yips and snapped his jaws at the water, splashing it everywhere.

I lightly tapped his snout then tsked at him before I gave a small, parental growl at him that I used to hear Trick do at his kids. Heh, I'll teach him to listen to me. He lowered his ears and eyed me over. He shook out his fur then, getting me wet. I tsked as I watched him then smirked, leaning down and kissing his head. "Cutie," I whispered to him and rubbed under his jaw. "Behave," I whispered and got all the cheese out before I turned the faucet off then wrapped him up into a towel and started to dry him in its fluffiness. He shivered a little and eyed me over beggingly as he walked towards me. I pulled him up into my arms and up against my chest as I rubbed him with the towel and chuckled, giving him my body heat as I worked on getting him dry. "I'll have to think of a name for you soon...." He gave me a sweet look and yipped at me. I laughed and started to kiss the top of his head as I sat down with him and got him dried up. There we go.... "Donnie is coming back with some mushrooms for you soon~ You'll love them," I promised and tapped his little nose. He curled up against me as I finished drying him and gave a huge yawn. Donnie walked in with a few mushrooms in his hands.

I gave Donnie a thankful look and took them from him then held one in front of my little baby's face, watching curiously. "Thank you, Donnie," I told him softly. "I'll let you give him one after we make sure he's not a weirdo about mushrooms." He eyed over the mushroom before snatching it into his mouth and ate it quickly before wagging his tail and went after Donnie quickly for more. Donnie laughed and gave me half of them. I laughed and gave him some more before I handed my fox over to Donnie to let him give him some mushrooms himself. He must miss Koda. I glanced up at him and purred softly. He was good to my little boy. Donnie eyed him over and blushed as he fed him a few of the mushrooms and then the rest. My new baby ate them up quickly before sniffing both of us and licked his lips. I chuckled and looked at Donnie with a smirk. "Do you want to name him?" I asked him and gave him a playful look. "You're kind of my son in matehood," I teased.

"No, I want you to name him since he's yours. You should pick a good name." My little fox walked up to me and crawled into my lap and curled up before looking around a little, expecting something before lowering his head and ears. I laughed at him and rubbed his head.

"Okay Donnie," I told him then eyed over my little fox. "Whatcha looking for?" I bet he's looking for mushrooms or his siblings I left there. "I don't have any more mushrooms for you right now."

"His siblings," Donnie purred out. "He's wanting to cuddle with them. But he's settled with the idea it's you now he cuddles with." My baby fox sighed a little and closed his eyes. I nodded and rubbed his little ears.

"I could have gotten him a friend," I mumbled thoughtfully. It's too late now. I'm not going back. I'll walk out with twenty. "I'll keep him warm and safe." I'll need to get him a lot of toys to make up for him not having his siblings with him anymore. He snuck into my shirt suddenly and curled up against my belly. I heard him yawn a little and lick my stomach. I tensed then laughed a little. "Cutie~" I said then chuckled before I looked towards Donnie. "So... what's been going on with you?" I asked him and chuckled. "Anything interesting?"

"N-no... Just my parents want another child," he said and rubbed his neck before shrugging. "I've been indoors for a long time." I raised my eyebrow at him.

"You need to get out more. I'll drag you to the next council meeting as my plus one and we'll get drunk together," I told him and winked at him.

"No thanks, I don't want to hang around a room full of council members." Donnie shook his head quickly. "I think I'll look for something to do with you though... Take me on an adventure."

"How about we go to see a ballet show?" I asked him and chuckled. "There's an amazing studio nearby. I have a grand box seating dedicated just for me. We'll go see a show some time. Ballet is one of Russia's many talents."

"I'd love to go see a ballet," Donnie told me before looking me over. "I think you should say hello to my aunt," he whispered.

"Your aunt?" I asked and then shrunk down into my seat. Shiiiiz, when was the last time I talked to her? I wonder if he knows about the times, I used to play prisoner with his aunt.... I should go see her. She's probably waiting on me to show up and is tapping her foot at me this very minute.

"You done what?" He asked me and gave a confused look. "You haven't been sleeping with her... right?"

"No," I said quickly and shook my head. "No, we just used to play prisoner a lot when we were younger," I told him. "It's basically one of us gets chained up and tortured by the other. We love it. You should go get your aunt. I think there is a ballet show today. We'll all four go."

"You can come with me to get her," he suggested. I bit my bottom lip. Hopefully she won't throw something at me.

"Okay." I pulled my little fox out from my shirt then grabbed his hand, teleporting us into Rose's castle. "ROSE! COME SEE A BALLET SHOW WITH ME! I HAVE DONNIE WITH ME!"

"DONNIE!" I heard her yell before she was by us and tackled him. "There's my favorite nephew!" She kissed his cheek quickly. I relaxed as I watched her and rubbed my little guy's ears as I held him.

"Hey Rose," I purred out to her and smirked. "Let's go watch some ballet~ I have a whole box to myself for us to sit in. We'll enjoy amazing, private seats.

"That sounds like fun," she purred out. "Donnie, what are you doing with Victor?" She asked curiously.

"Spending time with him while he gets a baby fox, but he already got one," he told her. I gave a small frown as I looked at her.

"You sound like you're not happy to see me," I hummed out then tsked. "And after I came all this way to see you," I teased her. "Missed you, Rose~"

"No, I'm curious," she told me before kissing Donnie's head. "Donnie doesn't usually spend time with old vampires."

"Well I picked him up at Paris's manor," I said and shrugged. I smirked then and placed my new fox in her arms. "Look~ he looks just like Trick~ Oh, what if I name him Junior?" I suggested and looked my fox over in amusement. It's not a bad idea.

"Junior?" She asked and frowned. "You have a weird selection in names. Choose something better," she suggested as she eyed him over. "You look like a fire ball." I watched and smirked as I eyed Rose over. I forgot just how much I miss her.

"We should play prisoners after the ballet," I purred out, moving towards her with a smirk. "It'll be fun~ I have lots of new toys to play with downstairs in the basement."

"No," she told me quickly. "I don't want to play with you." I purred and pinned her to the wall behind her as I moved in close.

"Why not?" I asked her and smirked. "Are you afraid of me?" I teased as I exposed my fangs at her then gave a playful growl. "Or are you simply bored of those games with me~?"

"I'm not afraid," she hissed. "I just don't want to torture you." I purred at her then gently kissed her cheek.

"Just the ballet then," I hummed into her ear. "We'll have a grand time together."

"We're supposed to, it's a ballet. At least it's not opera."

"Ballet is wonderful," I told her and smirked. "We're going to see Swan Lake."

"Swan lake!?" She asked in excitement. I nodded and smirked.

"Yes, they're doing Swan Lake right now. We'll all go see it tonight so go get dressed up," I told her and chuckled. Rose nodded before disappearing. I heard my little fox let out a hungry growl at me and whine out for his mom like the dozen use to do when I first got them. I looked at him then rubbed his head as I brought him closer to me. "Hey little guy, we'll feed you," I promised and kissed the top of his head. I glanced back at Donnie then purred. "Bring your aunt to my castle when she's ready. I'm going to take him home and get some food in him."

"Sure, I'll do that." Donnie gave me a reassuring look. I felt my baby fox start to suck on my shirt before tearing into it with his little teeth. I gasped then teleported back to the castle before I smirked at the little guy and walked over to my refrigerator. Alright, where's the damned milk? I grabbed out a carton then took it over to the stove and poured it into a pan, heating it up for him as I calmly sat him on the counter and went over to the cabinet, getting down a baby bottle for him. He trembled a little on the counter and looked over the edge of it before at me and started after me quickly, staying on the counter and yipped at me. I smirked and walked over to him, kissing his head then picked him up and sat him in the sink to keep him from going anywhere. He won't get out of that and fall off the counter. He watched me and perked his ears up and down before giving another hungry growl at me and licked his lips. I laughed and got a mushroom out of a cabinet then walked over and offered it to him, moving it up against his muzzle. He snatched it from me with his jaws and started to eat it carefully. I laughed as I watched him then went over to the pot, turning it off and tested it on my wrist before I put the milk into the bottle carefully then put the nipple on it. I went back to the sink and picked him up into my arms as I placed the nipple of the bottle against his mouth and gently kissed his head, growling slightly at him like Trick used to do at his kids. He started to chew on it before sucking on it and laid his ears back, giving a pleased yip. I laughed and held onto the bottle firmly as I watched him and gently pulled the bottle back slightly to let him have some air and make sure he wouldn't eat too much.

"Hey sweetie," I whispered and wiped some of the milk off his chin. "You like it?" He bit down into my fingers then and started to suck on them, giving a playful yip. I groaned a little then quickly gave him his bottle back, slipping it in place of my fingers. He eats a lot.... I smirked and rubbed his side slightly before I sat down in the floor with him and kissed the top of his head. You know... I want to be powerful- especially if it means impressing this little guy when he's older. There's a lot of countries nearby that their royals barely run... places that speak my language. What if I just simply took them over? No one would really care, right? It would expand my territory- not that I can do much with it right now. There's so much snow and ice everywhere.... The only fun thing to do around here lately is drink my ass off. He finished off the bottle and licked his lips before looking at me like he wanted more. I frowned at him. "More?" I asked him then sighed. Trouble. I got to my feet and placed him back in the sink as I got to work on heating up more milk for him. I think I will take those places over. Those royals don't do anything. The people on the council will barely notice it. If they do, I can come up with some sort of excuse. I'm not waging war, so it should be fine. I'm just simply kicking the royals out and adding it to my place. He curled up in the sink and yawned a little as he watched me, his eyes starting to close. I eyed him over then poured the milk into the bottle and snuck a little honey in it before I put the nipple back on and shook it up then walked over to him with the sweet milk and picked him back up into my arms. I put it against his mouth and purred into his ear coaxingly. Let's see if he still wants to eat. We have a whole ballet to sit through. He let out a growl at the bottle before looking away.

I frowned at him then tsked. He just was hungry a minute ago. Babies are so much work. I laughed and then moved the bottle away from him and got out another mushroom, offering it to him as I sat the bottle on the counter. He puffed at me before rolling over to expose his plump belly. I tsked then popped the mushroom into my own mouth. If he won't eat it, I'll eat it. He gave me a jealous look then. "What? You weren't eating it," I told him and smirked as I tapped his nose then set him on the counter. I wonder if I could get Laurence in on it... taking over those small countries. I'm sure he'd like to take Belgium over. That's such a little speck compared to all of Europe. It really should just be ruled by one of us- a major council power.

"VICTOR!" I heard Rose call out for me. "We're ready to go!" I smirked and scooped up my little fox quickly then teleported to the sound of her voice. Rose~ Great, finally! Now we can go~ Rose gave me a sweet smile as I caught her dressed up nice. She was wearing a red dress that fit her figure and a black fur coat that was floor length, making her look fancy. Her hair was up in curls that swayed around her face. I tensed as I saw her then felt my stone pulse. She looks... gorgeous. I cleared my throat quickly and gave her a playful smirk.

"Well then milady, let's be on our way," I told her and reached for her hand. "We'll go enjoy Swan Lake together. Maybe after that, we can all go out to eat in town... or we can come back here to enjoy some stroganoff that I'll make." She snatched up Donnie's wrist then.

"Come on darling, you can be my escort for this evening," she told him. "Victor is occupied." She eyed over my baby fox then. I frowned at her sharply then adjusted my fox in my hands before I snatched her hand and gave it a kiss.

"I'm your escort," I told her firmly and looked into her eyes. "Rose Grimm, I invited you to come with me. That makes me your escort." She giggled before nodding.

"Fine, escort." She eyed me over before giving my hand a squeeze. "You have your way." I smirked at her then gave her a playful look.

"Oh, I will have my way, Ms. Grimm," I teased her then leaned in. "Would you like any refreshments while we're there, mademoiselle? I could bring a servant girl for you to drink from during the ballet." Oh yes, I just turned her own language on her.

"No," she told me and held her head up high. "I don't drink publicly."

"You still don't?" I asked her and frowned. "It's not that bad. I love doing it." I exposed my fangs at her. "Your parents had too much influence on you."

"That's not true," she hissed out. "I can do what I want and if I don't want to then I don't have to drink in front of you."

"Is it because it's me?" I asked and frowned at her. "Is it because you're afraid I'll judge you? Or that I'll think of you as a drinking buddy or anything other than a lady?" Maybe she just doesn't like doing those things in front of me. I've been away for so long too that she would not be okay with it if that's what this is. "It's because I've been so distant, isn't it?" I grumbled. She eyed me over before smiling.

"You want me to drink in front of you? So needy..."

"Well you make me think that you don't trust me or something," I told her and tsked. "The only way I got you here was Swan Lake."

"That's not true. I trust you, sometimes. I think you drink too much though."

"Do not," I told her then smirked. I pulled out all my bottles of vodka and dumped them on the floor, listening to their contents slosh around as they hit the floor in their bottles. "I'll stay sober this entire time just for you."

"I can't believe you had that many on you," she said in a scolding tone.

"It's not as many as I normally have," I told her and purred at her teasingly. "Besides, you can always search me if you think I have more, but I don't. This is the first time in centuries that I'll be without a bottle of vodka on me."

"I don't know how you tote all those," Donnie whispered in wonder. "I'd fall after ten steps and give up trying for the extra five."

"It's easy once you're used to it," I told him and smirked. I rubbed my little fox's head then slipped him into one of my pockets that was freed up from my vodka. "Let's get going~ I'm excited to see how this turns out. Russian ballet is the best."

~Time Skip~

"That was lovely," Rose purred to us as we walked into a cozy room with a fireplace burning and being over watched by a servant. We were back in her family castle and just finished watching the ballet. "I almost want to turn my own little ballet dancer just so I can make her perform for me once a month." She giggled then at the thought before looking at Donnie and purred. "Do you want to stay here for the night, sweetie? Victor you're welcome to stay as well," she told me as she watched him curiously.

"A-actually..." He trailed off then. "It's not a bad idea to stay... I want to tour France while I'm here," he told us before giving a huge smile. "I think I'm going to bed early so I can head out early for it."

"On your way to bed make sure to let your parents know of your decision," she told him firmly. "I don't want them freaking out because you didn't come home and the last place you were going was somewhere with Victor. They'll destroy cities to find you both," she giggled out and then looked at me. "Starting with your castle." I widened my eyes then.

"Not my castle," I whispered quickly. Hell no! That castle has been in my family for generations! It's the king of Russia's castle! Always passed down to the first-born son! Speaking of which, I kind of want to build another castle to accompany it. Russia is huge. Having another castle would be wise. "Rose, what do you think of me putting another castle in my country?" I asked and frowned, walking up to her side then helped her sit down in an armchair. "I think it would be fun and adventurous for me." I honestly need to pay better attention to my kingdom and do princely things.

"Well try not to place it so close to the old one," she told me and crossed her legs. Donnie left the room then- disappearing as the door shut. I heard a yawn from my baby fox then as he adjusted himself in my pocket- but stayed there like a good boy. He's been a quiet good boy the whole evening. "Or just knock down the old one and build a new one over it. Who cares? Eventually it'll have to happen."

"No~ My great, great grandfather built that castle. I'm not going to tear it down. I've been doing a great job in its upkeep. I'll build one on the other side of Russia~" I told her then sat down in a chair near hers. "If you came to visit me more, you'd see more ballet though," I told her and smirked. "I'm going to start donating more money to their studio. Hell, maybe I'll run them in a few weeks. I have that special box because of who I am." I shrugged and pulled my little fox out of my pocket and set him on my lap. He opened his eyes and looked around before yawning and wagged his tail a bit before getting to his paws and sniffed me before sniffing the air. Rose eyed me over as she licked her lips a little and gave a small smile.

"How are you single?" She asked softly. "Are you not looking for a mate anymore after your last fling?"

"I haven't been searching," I hummed out to her and petted my little guy's head. "I've been keeping to myself for the most part in Russia. I only recently went to visit Paris and Richard and winded up with Donnie. The two want another kid," I purred at the thought then looked at her with a playful smirk. "You're going to get a new nephew or niece."

"Really?" She asked and gave a small smile. "I better let Louis know."

"Hmph, you better let him know. He'll get mad that his twin didn't let him know," I told her then smirked as I rubbed the little fox's ears. "I thought you wanted a mate the last time I talked to you anyways. Are you alone still?" I stared at my fox and let my smirk fall. I didn't want her to have a mate. She'd have less time for me if she got one but look where I went- back to Russia to hide in my castle with my vodka.

"No... I haven't found my soul mate yet," she said softly and frowned. "I'm starting to think I never will... Everyone has found at least one once but me," she whispered. "Even Donnie!" She gasped softy. "I'm starting to feel old," she giggled out. "He could have had kids...." She trailed off then. I raised an eyebrow then smirked at her.

"You're not old. You're very young," I purred and sat my fox aside before I stood up and walked over to her with a playful chuckle. "If anyone is old around here, it's me~ I'm ancient. You were born yesterday, weren't you, young lady?"

"No~! But you're right- you are older than me," she said and smiled as she watched me. I heard my fox jump down quickly and run around, smelling things in the room. I looked towards him then looked down at Rose before I reached for her hand.

"I know a lot more than you too," I told her and winked. "If your mate hasn't come yet, it's not your time for your romance, but maybe you should have a little fun while you wait," I purred out and pulled her up to her feet. "Now is the time that you should be overjoyed. You can see the world, spend it with your friends, and party. You can meet new people and spend time with me~" I smirked as I pulled her into my arms then started to lead her in a waltz around the room. "With a mate, you can't do any of that."

"That's not true.... but maybe he's caught up somewhere- maybe I need to look harder..." She trailed off then as she eyed me over.

"No, you should enjoy life," I purred to her then kissed her cheek. "Madam~" She smiled a little and moved in closer to me.

"You think so?"

"Yes, I think you should," I purred at her. "Do you see me searching for my mate? No~" I smirked then wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close as I stopped dancing with her. "I'm not searching for what fate set out for me. I'm not worried. I'm enjoying the now and having fun with those around me."

"Yeah but your mates always come," she told me sweetly. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"They'll come when they come," I told her then kissed her cheek. "We need to spend more time together. I've missed seeing you. You're my best friend."

"What happens when you find yours again?" She asked me softly.

"Polar wasn't my soul mate," I told her firmly. "He was someone I found on my own with no help from fate. I won't leave you alone this time."

"You're not going to leave me over one?" She asked softly.

"No, as long as you don't with me," I purred and ran my fingers through her hair with a small smirk. "Promise?" She looked me over before purring.

"I promise," she said softly. I purred then and leaned in, kissing her cheek before I leaned in towards her neck and bit in. She gasped and tensed up against me. "Victor! I should've known you were in it for my blood." I chuckled and pulled back from her neck then licked my lips.

"No, it's not just for your blood," I teased her and smirked. "I love playing prisoner with you~ Maybe one day it'll be doctor, Ms. Grimm." I gave a playful growl and sat down, pulling her into my lap as I got us onto a couch. "Are you still trying to become a doctor? I would be disappointed if you gave up on that. You're supposed to cure me."

"Of course, I am. I'm building an institution as we speak," she told me and smirked. "You're already looking at a doctor... but sometimes I'd like to play more than just prisoner with you." I raised an eyebrow at her.

"More?" I asked then purred as I exposed my fangs playfully.

"Yeah," she whispered and smirked as she exposed her fangs. I smirked at her then leaned in slowly, looking her in the eyes as I snuck closer. She smirked before leaning in quickly and bit down into my neck and knocked me over into the floor. I widened my eyes and tensed as my back hit the floor, too startled to yelp.

"R-Rose," I whispered then winced as I shifted under her, feeling her sharp fangs embedded into my neck. Did she just BITE me? ROSE?! The princess of no fang flashing? I suddenly felt her venom spread throughout my body and send a shiver down my spine. I moaned and melted under her before I instinctively leaned in towards her face and kissed her cheek then leaned in towards her ear, kissing near it. She pulled away and sat up on me and looked me over. I looked up at her then smirked, sitting up and leaned in towards her neck then bit down and marked her quickly. She gasped and leaned against me then and melted there.

"Victor," she purred out. Glancing at her, I pulled my fangs out then licked my lips.

"Is this what you wanted?" I teased her and leaned in towards her lips. "A prince to sweep you off your feet?"

"Always wanted it," she told me softly. I purred at her then smirked as I kissed her lightly, testing it out. I brushed my lips against hers before I slowly deepened the kiss and pulled her close as I moved my lips against hers firmly. She blushed and leaned in for the kiss a little more and gasped a bit before she shoved me down into the floor. I widened my eyes and grunted as my back hit the floor. What the hell?! Is she this deprived of social interaction? She's rough.... I like it. I smirked against her lips then ran my fingers through her hair, bringing her into another kiss before I playfully licked her bottom lip then nipped at it, gently tugging on her lip with my teeth. She purred playfully before I heard my fox growl at us and then yip playfully as he ran up and got between us and eyed us over before licking her cheek. I frowned and looked at my fox then picked him up.

"I swear you knew to break that up," I grumbled at him then sat him aside then purred at Rose. "Come here, princess~" I leaned in for another kiss then. I heard my fox yip playfully and come back towards us as he let out a growl and wagged his tail. She kissed me quickly. I tensed and looked down at my fox before I frowned. "Think he doesn't like this," I muttered to her then rubbed her back then looked at her with a smirk. "Maybe we should feed the baby and put him to bed?" I raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a playful look as I leaned in for another kiss.

"He's just wanting to play with us too," she giggled out and looked at him. "We are in the floor." I smirked and looked down at my fox.

"Maybe," I said then ruffled his head. "Want to play with him then pick up where we left off once he tires out?" I purred at her and looked at her out of the corner of my eyes. Heh, unless she completely shuns me in a few minutes. Who knows? Rose is a hard shell to crack. "Or we could put him somewhere safe and go play an game only two adults should play." I winked at her and growled. She nodded quickly and then looked at him.

"Let's tire him out," she said in determination. He yipped at us then and shook his tail before pawing the air towards us before running off and then came back to us. I smirked and snatched him up before I held him in my arms and showered his head in kisses then tickled his sides.

"I'm going to name you Mikhail," I decided and smirked. "My Mikhail~"

"Mikhail is a pretty name for him," she whispered. I nodded and looked at her then kissed her on the lips and smirked.

"I think so too," I told her then looked down at him, rubbing his head then playfully touched his tail. I reached down and grabbed his front paw before I shook it to mess with him. He yipped at me and wagged his tail before he rubbed his head against me then bit my hand playfully. I smirked and pulled my hand away from his muzzle then tapped his nose. "That's my hand." He yipped at me and went for my hand to bite again. I yanked my hand away from his mouth then and put a mushroom between his teeth instead. He chowed down on it quickly and ate it before twitching his ears. I smirked at him then rubbed his head before I looked around then picked up a pillow and threw it, hoping he'd run after it. He squirmed out of my hands and ran for the pillow and jumped on it quickly and started to chew on it. I smirked and turned back to Rose quickly, pinning her on the floor and kissed her passionately, growling at her. She gasped and went to flip us and gave me a jealous look. I smirked and kept her down before I leaned in towards her neck and marked her as I grabbed her hands and pinned them down. She gasped and let out a small moan- arching her back. I pulled my fangs out and licked my lips before I leaned in and kissed her deeply.

"Where's your bedroom?" I asked her and smirked as I sat up and eyed her over. "Let's go play a game under the covers." Winking, I got to my feet and helped her up to hers as I growled at her dominantly then leaned in and kissed her neck, giving her a love bite. She giggled before teleporting me into a beautiful bedroom. There was a nice pink, white lace, silk sheets, white wood, and a floral design across the room. It was all done to correspond well together for a lady's room. The furniture was made of white wicker and glass tops if it was a surface such as a table or a nice cushion or feather bed for the rest of the room. There were flowers decorating the room along with vases of rocks and seashells. She must like beaches. There was a mural on a wall of a beach and an island off in the distance with a lighthouse on it. A red and white one. There was a detailed ship wreckage on the shore of the beach. There were two side wicker doors. They must lead to her bathroom and closet. There was a white marble fireplace with a mirror sitting above it. The darkest place about the room was the dark wood beneath us but was covered with a few white rugs. I raised an eyebrow at the room then looked at her then smirked. "Well aren't you girly," I teased her. "I bet you even have pink rhinestone cuffs under your bed."

"Don't break my bed," she warned me as she walked over and opened a drawer by it to reveal her custom cuffs I just described and dangled them in front of me. "We won't be needing these though." I caught the glimpse of a few more items in the drawer before she closed it. I smirked and walked over to her then grabbed it.

"Why not? You don't want me to cuff you? If you're worried about the bed, we can fool around on the couch."

"I don't want to be cuffed for my first time," she whispered and blushed. "Don't strain me." I nodded and tossed the cuffs to the side before I smirked and leaned in.

"First time? Good," I husked out then kissed her. She purred and kissed me sweetly and wrapped her arms around my neck. I purred back and then pressed my tongue into her mouth before I pushed her down onto her bed quickly. Paris is going to kill me. Rose purred as she looked up at me and smiled sweetly before leaning in for another kiss. I gave her a gentler kiss then ran my fingers along her cheek before I kissed her jaw. "Beautiful," I murmured in her ear then kissed her neck lightly. "How long have you waited? Were you hoping I'd come back to whisk you off your feet?" She was probably upset that I slept with Polar for a century.

"Victor... I don't wait on nobody," she whispered to me and then kissed my cheek.

"Are you happy it's me though?" I asked and frowned. Well isn't that wonderful?

"Of course, I am," she whispered and then purred. I looked down into her eyes then and frowned a little.

"This isn't a one-night thing, is it?" I asked and raised an eyebrow at her. Watch her just need some sort of interaction for a night. "You're not holding out for your true soul mate, are you?" The way she's been talking about her soul mate, she might actually throw me away for one.

"First come first serve," She told me softly. She bit her bottom lip and gave me a sweet look. I purred then and kissed her.

"Good," I growled out then kissed her forehead before I ran my fingers along her sides. "I won't have to kill someone."

"You'd kill my soul mate?" She asked softly and blushed. "Jealous?"

"If he tried to take you from me," I purred in her ear then smirked. "You're mine, Rose. You'd kill my soul mate too."

"R-really?" She asked and widened her eyes slightly.

"Yes, you're mine," I husked out then kissed where I had marked her. "You have my mark and my attention, don't you?" She nodded slightly and gave me a loving look before kissing my cheek. I purred at her then leaned in towards her lips, kissing her as I rubbed her sides slowly then slipped my hands down to her skirt and started to bunch it up, pulling it up then grabbed the hem of it when it was in my reach. She eyed me over before smacking my hand away and flipped us over.

"Who said you could be on top?" She asked me playfully. I growled at her then went to flip us quickly.

"Me," I said and frowned. There's no way in Hell I'm not going to be on top. She frowned and placed her hands down on my shoulders to keep me on the bottom.

"Sorry, but I'm on top." I frowned and eyed her lips over then tsked.

"Why?" I asked and looked up into her eyes as I licked my lips. "You might like this better on the bottom."

"You might like it down there," she encouraged.

"Are you nervous?" I asked and frowned at her. "You shouldn't be. I'm not going to hurt you. It's the whole reason I tossed the cuffs."

"I'm not nervous!" She gasped out. "You're just making things up to get back on top," she purred out before leaning in and kissing me. I purred loudly as she kissed me then licked her bottom lip before I exposed my fangs and bit into it lightly, marking her to give her something to think about. She gasped and pulled away from me quickly. "Victor," she whispered. I smirked at her devilishly and licked my lips.

"What?" I husked out then pulled her back into another kiss, licking her bottom lip to help its soreness before I tilted my head and deepened the kiss. She hiked up her skirt then and started to yank up my shirt. I laughed at her and then helped her take it off me. "You're going to take your dress off, aren't you?" I teased her and smirked. "It's no fun with it on~"

"Who knows," she giggled out. "I might not take it off," she winked at me then. I smirked at her then.

"Naughty," I purred out then leaned up quickly, stealing a kiss from her lips. I purred and gave her another kiss, running my fingers along her jaw then trailed them down her neck to her shoulders. First come, first served huh? Glad I hurried up. This wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for me taking her to the ballet. She loved it! I purred loudly then slipped her dress strap down her shoulder before I reached behind her to undo her dress. "Rose~" I husked out against her lips. "You're amazing." She giggled before slipping out of the dress and leaned in for a kiss from me.

"You're not too bad yourself," she told me sweetly.

"Oh, I would hope not," I told her and purred. "After all, you're still kissing me," I growled at her then smirked, leaning in for another kiss. "We're going to be the best."

"At what? Golf?" She asked curiously.

"No, we're going to be the best couple," I said and frowned, pulling back sharply to look at her.

"You think so?" She asked curiously before stealing a kiss from me. I groaned a little and nodded before I pulled her close for another kiss, making this one deeper. She licked her lips and pushed her tongue into my lips quickly and captured my tongue before she started to suck on it. I moaned and closed my eyes quickly, leaning into it before I trailed my hands along her spine down to her underwear and touched it. I can't believe Rose is doing this with me.... I pushed my tongue deeper into her mouth then went to flip us quickly, wanting more out of the kiss. She gasped as our weight tangoed until I was on top. I smirked and pulled back from her lips before I looked her over then leaned in towards her neck, kissing it as I traveled my hands up to the top of her corset and loosened it for her to let her breath better then took it off, tossing it off the bed before I took her bra off. She smiled playfully at me and reached down to my pants and snatched them down.

"Victor," she said in a playful tone. I smirked at her then growled lightly.

"What?"

"Just your name," she told me and kissed my cheek. "That's all." I purred then kissed her again as I ran my fingers across her chest lightly then trailed my hands down her stomach to her panties. She snatched my hand then and tsked before bringing it up to a kiss.

"Who said you could do that?" She asked me and smirked as she pushed down my boxers quickly. I widened my eyes a little as I felt the last piece of clothing, I had on go.

"Who said you could do that?" I said quickly, exposing my fangs playfully at her.

"Gentlemen first," she purred out in my ear.

"You just wanted to see what all I looked like down there," I grumbled. "First you want on top, then you want to look at me. No wonder you're still a virgin and have kinky things like cuffs in your drawer." She's been waiting.

"I haven't even looked," she told me and smirked. "Paranoid... Shut up and kiss me," she leaned in quickly and kissed me before pulling away and her eyes trailed down to look- purposely showing me she was before she giggled and looked up at me. "Well it'll have to do," she teased me.

"I'm bigger than most men," I told her and smirked before I kissed her and moved between her legs.

"Most?" She asked. "You are a decent size..." She giggled then and kissed my cheek before giving me a kiss on the lips. I purred and kissed her back eagerly, pressing my tongue into her mouth as I ran my fingers down her thigh then playfully moved back up and gripped her butt, pulling her closer to me. She rocked her hips up against mine and gave a small moan before pushing her underwear down and off her legs. "Quick, simple, painless," she whispered to me before shifting our weight to get back on top. "Now be a good boy and stay," she told me as she rubbed my lips with her thumb. I frowned a little then smirked as I licked her thumb then grazed my fangs against it to tease her, giving a small moan.

"Maybe not quick~" I purred out then looked up into her eyes as I slipped her thumb into my mouth. She smirked then.

"Quicker than the average sexually active vampire," she told me and then leaned in for a kiss and took her thumb away. When she pulled back Rose took the next couple of hours to express her love with me in exotic positions I've never experienced in a long time- especially since I've been with males lately. It was romantic enough to pass us out in each other's arms.
