It was then that I knew the reality of what had come of me. my eyes were locked on the of the king as a stared into my existence while he latched onto the neck of another slave, I had met just a few days before.
His eyes glowed a beautiful shade of red as they were locked onto mine. I couldn't move or even close my eyes and he didn't make a move to force me out either. the slave he was latched to was naked as the day she was born and one hand held her head stable as he fed and another was hidden between their bodies.
My hands made their own way up my body to touch my neck and I could feel myself gulp. he lowered his hand from her and let her drop onto the couch the were on after detaching his lips from her skin. his eyes ran over me as his tongue darted out to lap at the remains of the liquid that stained them. them he stood and made his way towards me calmly. Allowing me a wonderful view of his toned torso but denying me of the view beneath as he wore a pair of briefs.
it then crossed my mind if they did anything else aside from him feeding from her. I had finally come to the realization that this was what everyone had been talking about around the castle and now I could clearly see why the number of servants needed kept growing and we were being replace at a fast pace. I lot was being made clear to me in that moment but I was still yet to feel fear grip me.
he was close to me now, so close that I could taste the copper off his breath and feel the woman he just had on him. my throat dried out when he extended his hands with a teasing smile to touch my face. the corner of his lips lifted into a small smile as he waited for me to make my next move but I stood still.
his fingers brushed against my lips as he cupped my face gently and tilted my head to look into my eyes and on my own my cheeks turned pink as my tongue instinctively slipped out to touch his fingers making his smile broaden and his grip firmer.
there was a shift in the air as his gaze got darker at that small action and a finger now slipped past my lips, giving me a taste of his skin. I came to my senses then moved back and was ready to make an escape but he helps me back and told me to sit.
"You're such a lucky girl" he said to me after I sat in the second couch trying not to look at the lifeless body in the other couch. " She'll be fine. there's no need to be afraid" he said again. I nodded and kept my eyes away from him. my earlier actions had me embarrassed enough.
''My dear Rose" he drawled out slowly making shivers of pleasure ran up my spine in anticipation for his next statement but he said nothing. rather he came towards be again, looking vexed at the uniform I was wearing and looking like he wanted to feed off me like he did earlier.
"What do you feel" he asked me and I wondered what answer he wanted to hear from me then. I knew it was not fear but I also knew very well that I liked to see the state he was I as he fed on the slave from earlier. I was scared of how I would like that in the first place. I shook my head to answer his question and I heard him chuckle. he pulled me to him and grabbed my back to support me.
next thing I know I was right across his laps sitting with my legs on either side and in a vulnerable position. my breath hitched not wanted to even think of where this was going. I shook my head and put my arms between us to give me more room and struggled to get off him but he didn't let me. he held me down firmly and just allowed my futile struggle with him like I was entertaining him.
he finally let me go and I stood up and them made a hasty exit out of the room. I need the room to breathe and to try and understand what has just happened to me. I hurriedly went on to do the rest of my chores clearly staying away from the king. he made me feel like I had not control over my own body and I didn't like that. I decided I needed to learn more from the older slaves so I started asking questions.
I was going around trying to ask question about anything at all. what time he fed and what it took to be the one he fed from. they were starting to look at me strange since they realized that I had started getting curious about the whole thing. I think some of them were relieved I was finally opening my eyes to what was going on in the castle. they answered me according to what they knew and let me know what exactly I needed to.
I got to know from them that there was a different selection of slaves he fed off on and then at what schedule he did his feeding.
For the next couple of days, I went exactly according to the schedule of the maids before him so I could avoid him at all cost. I was successful to an extent. I was back to my normal self and trying not to remember what had happened before and my encounter with the other slave. my plan seemed to be working and I was okay for now.
Two weeks since our encounter and I was begging to forget the whole thing, there was chaos one afternoon as I got to the kitchen after my chores in the main part of the castle. there were slaves mumbling everywhere, I got curious and also asked around. I found another slave I had gotten close to over the past few weeks Sey and asked her what was going on.
"Didn't you hear?" she asked me in shock.
"How do u keep being oblivious to everything happening around you?!" she demanded and dragged me off. I begged her to slow down but it seemed she was in no mood for me to be comfortable
"Why are you dragging me? What is happening?" I asked now the panic was setting into me and I begun to feel worry. we finally made a stop in one of the empty hallways then she stopped, looked around and asked me.
"Did you not hear about the three girls that died this week?"
"Wait why"
"King Lucien lost control. feeding on them. he had been hungrier than usual these days a few other slaves almost died but they barely made it out alive."
"Everyone is scared now and many more slaves are being tested to transfer them to the blood bank"
"what. why? why did he lose control?" " no one knows about that, but there's a rumour he's tired of feeding on the sae girls"
Now she was making me scared with how frantic she was being as well. my mind automatically went back to our encounter and wondered what it would be like to be fed from.
"Have you ever been fed from?" I asked Sey curiously. she looked at me blankly for a minute and then pink tinged her cheeks before she answered me.
"Who was it?" I asked when she didn't speak right away. she hushed me and told me one of them but didn't specify. there was a dreaded feeling I thought I felt if she had mentioned King Lucien and I didn't understand why.
