Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"That is my only destination." the pain in his voice undid her.

She held his hands and they both disappeared from the horse and landed in front of the lake.

"Why did we not choose this way from the start?" his warm breath washed over her face as he kept holding her in his arms.

"It would have been boring to just apparate here. What can I do? I want to ride the horse with you." she shrugged when he chuckled but his voice was still pained.

She kept staring at his face when the smile on his face died down and his face turned grim again.

She could not bear it, so she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. When her lips touched his, he froze. He was so still that she thought that his corruption was returning.

But when she moved her hands to his heart, he breathed again. She heard a muffled sob in his voice that shattered her insides.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer in a tight embrace as if he was trying to make sure that he would not lose her again.

She responded with moving her lips on his with such tenderness as if she was trying to pour all her love in the kiss. She wanted to assure him that he was not going to lose her again.

His lips opened and she entered, touching his tongue with hers, it soon intertwined like their bodies which were on fire.

But the kiss did not go long, the moment Rafael realized he had broken again, he took a step back.

She looked at him with confusion but when his eyes met hers, the pain in her heart filled her eyes. He shook his head and touched her cheeks tenderly. His eyes filled with inscrutable emotions. She tried to hold him but he held her hands with his other hand and kissed her forehead. They stood that way for what seemed like an eternity but it was only a few minutes in reality when Rafael took a step back.

He was not able to find the right words, he was not even sure if there were the right words for their condition. No matter what he would tell her, she was only going to say that they could be together, she would make it possible.

And that stirred his heart, looking into her eyes, he started to believe at that false dream.

"Where do you want to sit?" she asked in a chirpy voice gaining his attention. She did not talk about what had happened just a minute ago as she pointed at three possible areas when he shrugged.

"Then this one!" She spread the mat she had brought with her and then started spreading the meal she had prepared with two glasses of wine.

"Hazel!"

"Am I pretty?" she asked as she blinked while sitting in the middle of the mat. She was so damn appealing that he felt his throat dry. She was seducing her! That was her plan! He was sure of it, yet she asked such a foolish question.

He looked away but still nodded.

"Then, you do not like the baby bump?" his eyes widened and he looked at her, shocked.

"How can I not?" They were his kids! She had no idea how he was counting the days hoping that he would be able to see them.

"Then do you think I am getting fat?" he sighed and shook his head, getting the hint.

He walked and sat beside her and cupped her cheeks. She looked at him with her gaze turning darker but instead of kissing her like she had thought, he touched her forehead with his!

"It would not be a good idea." he was not sure if..

"You do not have sexual dysfunction. Do you?" her words again horrified him and left him speechless.

"Are you here to seduce me, Mrs Rafael?" she nodded without a doubt as she tried to get a hold of him again.

She frowned when he jumped an inch away.

"Hazel, I love you but I think we should keep our distance. What if you have a vampire in your belly!" he was scared to death when her eyes narrowed as she disappeared and landed in front of him.

"So what if I am giving birth to a vampire?" her voice told him that she was displeased but it also indicated that she got his doubts well.

"I want you to give birth to both, a vampire and a witch. Or maybe a hybrid. As long as they look like you, I will love them with all my heart." His voice was so tender that she melted again.

She sighed and leaned on his chest when he held her in his arms and rubbed her back.

"Does it mean that we are going to abstain?" That would be hard. She wanted nothing more than being taken by him then and there.

"It is good for our child. Once you give birth..."

"Alright, don't say that!" she punched his chest with annoyance when he chuckled but his eyes turned deeper, a layer of mist filled them. When she would give birth.. Would he be there to make love to her?

"Hazel, will you promise me one thing?" She knew that she would not like what he was going to say but when he raised her head by holding her chin, she found herself nodding even when she did not want to.

"When you feel that i am going to lose control, you will kill me before i harm our children..." that was all he wanted. He felt her going stiff in his arms and then shaking her head.

"You would never do that."

"Yes, but if I do, you must realize that the Rafael you love is not there anymore. And you have to kill my body before it will be something I would hate!"

"Then I will bring you back from the depths of hell. After all, my father is the king of hell."
