WHO I am

"Perhaps it is Best WE Do not Do this TOGETHER." I Answer. "They are not Aware I have gone missing."

"Or perhaps WE Shall. Returning TOGETHER would Cause quite the stir." Xavier grins mischievously.

"I Should have Known YOU to Be for the theatrics." MY eyes flare.

"And YOU with YOUR Logics and Processes." HE casually throws back.

I Smile. "It has Served ME Well."

"When The QUEEN has Been captured, the most calculated Strategy is what TRULY Prevails."

"And what exactly is YOUR Strategy, Xave?" I Inquire.

"Whatever Leads YOU to MY Bed the quickest." HIS eyes flash Seductively.

I roll MY eyes in response. "Is that all YOU Think about, MY KING?"

"What else is there?" HE licks HIS lips.

"There are many awaiting MY Guidance." I State firmly. "I can only Hope they are Safe."

"All the more Reason to Handle OUR Visitors TOGETHER. The quicker WE move, the Better." Xavier steps Forward, placing HIS hands upon MY belly. HIS eyes melt into MINE. "And let US not forget OUR CHILD. TIME is of the Essence, MY QUEEN. YOU Do not Have the Luxury to delay OUR UNION. Soon, YOU Will Be Showing."

"I already am." I Whisper.

"I have Noticed." HE grins. "OUR CHILD Will Grow quicker because of WHO I am."

I shiver. "How long until then?"

"It Depends." Xavier wraps HIS arms around MY waist, pulling ME close until MY body is pressed firmly against HIS.

"On?" I Question as HE lowers HIS head to Breathe in MY Scent.

"How much YOU are Willing to Share." HE growls before sinking HIS fangs once again. MY lips part as I let out a surprised gasp, MY hands twisting subconsciously into the thick locks of HIS wind-blown hair. HIS tongue presses against MY skin, causing ME to moan softly in HIS ear.

Xavier removes HIS teeth, gently licking the beads of blood forming at the entry of HIS Mark. HE places a tender kiss and pulls away slowly before lifting HIS gaze up towards MY hooded eyes.

"Sweeter than honey, MY QUEEN." HE runs HIS tongue across HIS fangs, Savoring what lingers still. HE swallows and tucks a loose curl behind MY ear. "I LOVE the Way YOU Look right now." Xave brushes HIS lips across the tip of MY nose.

"Nine months." I Whisper. "Can YOU Handle that?"

"Without MY Assistance, YOU Would Give Birth in six." HIS Smile grows wide, showcasing HIS sharp fangs. "YOU have just Promised ME half a glass of the Sweetest Wine on a Weekly basis."

"Then it is settled?" I Inquire of HIM.

"It is." Xavier Answers.

I Release a Deep Breath of Relief. HE arches a brow. "Good." I Agree.

"But this Will not Sustain ME, MY QUEEN." HE further presses. "I Require nearly 65 times more the Amount YOU are Capable of Giving, and I am accustomed to a Certain Quality."

MY body stiffens. "That Quality Being.." I Swallow.

"The Most Potent is Sweetest upon the Release of Arousal." Xavier eyes MY Expressions Carefully, HIS face serious.

"Are there other Options?" I Question.

"I am THE KING, Será. I Have only Known the Pleasure of Women."

"How many?" MY eyes Grow cold at HIS Revelation.

"Less than Sebastián. One, maybe two each Week." HE Answers.

I Take a Step backwards.

"This is WHO I am, MY QUEEN." Xavier continues.

"When was YOUR last feed?" I Ask HIM.

"The Day I left."

MY HEART wrenches. "And before that?"

HIS face darkens. "The Night YOU were delayed in the tunnel."

"I was delayed due to MY husband fucking his whore!" The Anger Rises in MY Voice.

"I Advise YOU to Calm YOUR Self." Xavier's eyes Begin turning black.

"Calm MY Self." I laugh bitterly. "I Gave MY SELF to YOU.." Tears sting the corners of MY eyes. "..and YOU were fucking another whore while Dealing with him."

"Watch YOUR Words, MY QUEEN." HIS fangs lengthen.

"Take ME Home, Xavier." I seethe. "I withdraw MY Intentions of Becoming YOUR QUEEN."

"It is too late, Será. YOU Belong to ME, and YOU ARE Carrying MY HEIR."

"I Do not Care." MY Anger boils over.

"I Gave YOU the Option to walk away." Xavier Reminds ME.

"That was before I ever Knew The TRUTH." I hiss.

He cocks a wicked grin. "And WHOSE fault is that?"

"WE are finished." I Answer. "YOU Will never Hold MY HEART again."

"I LOVE YOU, MY QUEEN." HE grips MY wrists. "So much so that YOU ARE the only Woman to have survived MY bed."

MY eyes widen in horror. "YOU ARE a monster.." I gasp.

HIS eyes pitch, transforming into WHO HE is.

"I am." Xavier Gives a chilling grin.
