Chapter 48 - It's Done

After long moments of dancing in a way that teased me, eventually pulling me closer to his body and making me realize how much he wants to leave the party, the now King Phillip takes my hand and gently bows.

- Your Majesty, may we take our leave from the party? - he gives me a sly, charming smile.

- Yes, young King. Rest for today. Will you be leaving early tomorrow? - The king asks cheerfully. - Goodnight, my daughter!

- Your father told me he prepared a room for us. Your Highness, do you know which room it is? - Phillip whispers in my ear while he sneakily drags me out of the hall, weaving between the guests.

We make our way up the stairs to my room, and when we reach the door, there's a big wreath of wildflowers. I turn the doorknob and am surprised by a completely different decor than the one I had left. On the table by the window, there’s a huge vase filled with flowers. The white sheets and a burgundy quilt adorn my bed. Even the curtains of my canopy are new, in burgundy and gold. There are flowers in every corner and countless rose petals scattered on the floor at the foot of the bed. The whole room seems to suggest what Phillip already desires to fulfill.

Behind me, Phillip hugs me and kisses my neck, making me melt. A strong urge to kiss him back and stay in that position for a long time washes over me. Phillip closes the door and locks it with the key. I notice a tray of fruits on the table by the window, along with a pitcher of water and a bottle of wine. When I turn to face Phillip, he stops kissing me and looks deeply into my eyes:

- What's wrong? - he asks in a voice almost like a whisper.

- I don’t know what to do. - I say with a bit of tension and fear.

He then takes a small step back and continues to speak.

- I won’t do anything you don’t want, but only when you want.- he now stops hugging me and heads towards the wine on the table.

- I honestly don’t know what to do. - I say as I approach Phillip and hug him from behind.

- My princess, you don’t need to know; I can teach you and guide you every step of the way. But I won’t do anything you don’t want, even if this whole room is screaming for me to take you and make you mine. - he says, turning to me and handing me a glass with a bit of wine.

- Phillip, believe me, I want to, but I’m scared, and yet I still want to. - I said, taking a sip, resting the glass down, and walking towards Phillip to kiss him.

He then picks me up and lays me on the bed while kissing me teasingly. He kisses my chin and moves down to my neck, reaching my cleavage. He takes off his blazer and shirt, and the sight of his bare chest is magnificent, with perfectly defined muscles. He looks like a Greek god in front of me. At that moment, I realize I’m embarrassed to undress, but he gently unties each ribbon of my dress, and I feel his hand touch the bare skin on my back.

As he loosens the bodice of the dress, he continues kissing from my neck to my shoulder. I sigh nervously, and Phillip softly pulls away, saying:

- Oh, how I’ve longed to see you like this, my beloved! - he says, admiringly, looking directly at my naked body.

He gently runs his hands over my body and gets up from the bed, removing the rest of my dress and tossing it to the floor. He unbuttons his pants, and my nervousness increases. My anxiety rises as I see him naked. He looks like a sculpture. Every muscle and every line of his perfect body. He lies back down gently over me and kisses me again. He then whispers in my ear:

- Are you sure you want this?

I can barely breathe; my heart is racing, and I just nod in agreement.

- I need to hear a 'yes,' my princess. - he says as his hands glide over my bare body.

- Y...yes. I want to. - I say, almost out of breath, trying to keep my heart racing.

- The beats of your heart are driving me wild. If you only knew how euphoric that makes a vampire. - he says, his eyes changing to a bright yellow.

Suddenly, I can feel, amidst the kisses, when he thrusts deep inside me and I let out a scream of both pain and pleasure. He gets startled but then smirks mischievously. And then whispers:

- The pain will fade... - I hear with a warm breath on my neck.

Then he begins to move in and out slowly, so the pain isn’t too intense. A pleasant sensation of pleasure floods my body, and he realizes the discomfort is gone, so he starts making more vigorous movements. I begin to lose control, sweating a lot as I try to catch my breath. The pleasurable feeling intensifies, and I can sense that I'm reaching my peak. I feel Phillip is also close to coming.

After it all, Phillip collapsed exhausted next to me, pulling my body close to his and stroking my hair. He then turns me to face him and says straight into my eyes:

- It's done. Now you're mine forever.
