The Vampire Ambassador
Chapter 26

I could feel the stare of the waiter as I walked quickly through the restaurant to the car waiting outside. I got in and sighed with a smile as I leaned my head against the window.

“Blushing much?” Erik chuckled. I looked over at him and began to laugh.

“I’ve never done that before,” I replied, grabbing his hand to hold.

“There will be plenty more times to do it,” he said with a smile, “I can promise you that.”

We rode back to the castle and I slowly stepped out of the car, still getting a grip on my shaking legs. Erik followed me up to our room and closed the door once we were both inside.

I walked over to the mirror and began to try and take my dress off.

Stupid zippers in the back.

I felt his hands slowly caress my shoulders before helping me with the zipper. Once the dress fell off, however, he moved his lips to my neck and sent a tidal wave of ecstacy through my body.

You’re ready for round two so fast?

I felt him chuckle against my skin.

I’m always ready for more with you, my love. But now it’s my turn to please you. I want to show you how much I have missed you.

His hands moved from my shoulders down to my hips, causing goosebumps to raise along my skin. My head tilted to the side as he licked the spot he had bitten.

He turned me around to face him and our lips met. The kiss wasn’t one like before, this one was more tender and loving. He wrapped his arms around my waist before picking me up and carrying me to the bed, not once leaving my lips.

He laid me down on my back and slowly trailed his lips down between my breasts to my stomach before moving them to my right inner thigh.

My hips instantly bucked as I felt the heat spread in my lower stomach and between my legs. He moved slowly from one thigh to the next, causing my anticipation to grow.

He finally stopped and looked up at me, meeting my gaze. I was so amazed that this handsome man was in love with me and I wanted this night to never end.

He dipped his head back down and I groaned against my arm which I had put over my mouth as his tongue licked up and circled my nerves. He kept working his magic before slowly sliding a finger inside.

“Oh,” I moaned, biting my lip and grabbing my breasts. He slowly worked his finger while moving his tongue. I felt my climax quickly approaching and he could feel it too, because he then took his finger out and placed a hand on each cheek, raising my hips higher in the air and taking his tongue inside.

I felt myself riding his mouth as my orgasm came. Once I finally came down from it he licked one last time to get every drop, like it was his favorite meal.

He then stood up and began to unbutton his shirt. I leaned up and began to do it for him, tracing my fingernails along his tattoo and moving them down along his abs once his shirt fell off.

“I love you so much,” I whispered as I placed a kiss on his chest.

He lifted my chin gently up to him and kissed me. “And I love you. Let me show you how much I love you.”

He dropped his pants and underwear so quick that I wouldn’t have seen it without vampire vision. I looked at him, already erect, and licked my lips as I smiled up at him.

“Ah-ah,” he said, shaking his finger, “I told you it’s my turn, now.”

He climbed on top of me, spreading my legs with his knee gently as I laid back on my back again. He placed a hand on each side of my head as his hips pressed against my thighs, causing him to rub against me.

I moaned instantly with that touch, feeling my juices flowing again. That was all it took for him to slide inside, taking it slow and steady. Although it was slow, it allowed him to penetrate deep and stay in the right spot longer.

“Bite me,” I said, “Please.”

“As you wish,” he replied gruffly, licking the spot on my neck before slowly gliding his fangs into my vein.

An explosion of stars happened beneath my eyelids as I closed my eyes tightly with the euphoria that I was experiencing. I could tell Erik was feeling it too because he let out a moan that I had only heard once before.

He slowed his pace down even more but kept inserting deeply. I felt the static in the air and the tingle all over my skin as we both grew closer to our limit.

I felt the tension building down below as he buried deeper inside of me. The heat from our touch was just enough to send both of us over the edge in mere seconds, causing him to completely stop as I felt his release inside of me.

My whole body shook with pleasure as he finally collapsed on top of me, heaving with each breath he took. The stars behind my eyes started to fade away as I came back down to earth from my high.

"I will never get enough of that," Erik breathed, rolling over and laying next to me. I smiled and rolled over to face him.

"Neither will I," I replied, brushing some of his hair out of his face. He propped up on one elbow and looked at me, trailing his fingers along my side and down to my hip.

"You're absolutely beautiful," he whispered, "Do you know that?"

"You tell me enough for me to know," I chuckled, grabbing his hand and kissing the back of it. We then snuggled up together under the covers before I eventually fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning I woke up to the sound of thunder rattling the windows of our room. I rubbed my eyes and glanced over at Erik, who was sleeping peacefully. I giggled quietly when I looked at how he was sleeping flat on his back with his arms and legs sprawled out in all different directions.

I leaned down and kissed his cheek gently before I got up and went to the bathroom to shower. I turned the water as hot as it would go. I stepped in and sighed once the water cascaded down my hair and ran down my back. I lathered up my hair and rinsed, followed by some deep conditioner.

I knew what was on the agenda for today, and I decided I needed to look like the queen our people deserved if Patrick were to make me present a speech.

I finished the shower with a nice sugar scrub after shaving my legs. My outfit I had planned in my head was business casual and I didn’t want the wrath of the forest to peek out from my pencil skirt.

I turned off the water and opened the glass door to see Erik leaning casually against the counter, looking me up and down with a seductive spark in his eyes.

“How dare you leave me in bed?” He asked as I stepped up to the counter and pulled out my skin care supplies.

“I’m sorry,” I chuckled, dabbing my face with some serum, “I just know that I have a shit ton of phone calls to make and possibly a visit with the council today. You looked peaceful sleeping so I didn’t want to wake you.”

“You amaze me,” he said with a smile. I set my tube of moisturizer down and looked at him.

“And you amaze me,” I replied, leaning up to kiss his cheek, “What’s on your agenda for this rainy day?”

“I was going to accompany you,” he answered, hopping up on the counter. I took in his appearance of wearing only workout shorts and had to hold back a shiver when I noticed his bulge in the front.

I turned my face back to the mirror and kept myself occupied with my hands on my face. “You can if you want, I just didn’t want it to interfere with anything you had to do today.”

“It’s up to you, love,” he replied, “I can stay here and do my work or go with you. If you feel you can handle it on your own, then let the driver know what time to pick you up if he needs to.”

If I think I can handle it on my own?

“That’s not what I meant,” Erik sighed, reading my thoughts. I stopped with my foundation application and looked at him.

“I’m not trying to be rude or start an argument,” I said, “But I do believe after organizing an entire army of vamps and humans to destroy an enemy I can handle Patrick and the council.”

“I know that,” Erik replied, “You know I didn’t mean it in the way it sounded, love.”

“Then what did you mean?” I asked, putting my hand on the counter and turning to face him.

“I just meant that I want to be there for you is all,” he answered sincerely, “I want to be there when you stand tall and strong and take your spot as the rightful leader of your kingdom.”

“But I don’t know if that’s what I want,” I mumbled, looking down, “I don’t want to leave here. I don’t want to leave you.”

“Let’s just see what Patrick says,” he replied as he jumped off the counter and put both hands on either of my shoulders, “Then we can decide what we need to do.”

I slowly nodded as I looked up into his eyes. He leaned down and gave me a long, slow kiss before pulling away and wrapping me in a hug.

“We will figure this out,” he whispered, “I promise.”

“Okay,” I replied, “Cross that bridge when we get there?”

“Exactly,” he answered with a smile, “I’ll let you handle it while I deal with some things around here. You call me if anything happens, okay?”

“Of course,” I said, leaning up on my tip toes for one more kiss. He then pulled away, but not before giving my butt a good slap before stepping into the shower. I glanced in the mirror to see him behind me on the other side of the glass, his perfectly round ass in full view.

Damn your sexy ass.

I heard him chuckle as I smiled and continued my makeup. I went with a light brown tint of eyeshadow and minimal eyeliner; a slight wing on the outside of the corner of my eye. I blow-dried my hair and began to curl it with a curling iron, leaving it bouncy.

I added some texturizing spray to keep the volume of it and spritzed a small amount of hairspray to keep the layers of it in place. I applied some lotion to my legs and arms before moving into the bedroom to pick out an outfit.

I chose a grey pencil shirt and a black, silk, short-sleeved shirt with a bow-like turtleneck. I strapped up my black heels and stood in the mirror, making sure there were no wrinkles.

“You can be my queen any day,” Erik said as he walked out of the bathroom completely naked, rubbing his wet hair with a towel.

“What a compliment,” I chuckled as I fasted the lock of my diamond bracelet I had bought for the first ball I attended here.

“I’m serious,” he said as he pulled out some clothes for himself, “You are drop-dead gorgeous but definitely look like you mean business.”

“Well,” I said as I walked over to him, “Maybe I can catch you in the break room later.”

“I would like that very much,” he whispered as I wrapped my arms around his waist, “Your Majesty.”

I gave him a quick kiss before I grabbed my crown off of the dresser and started for the door. “I’ll fix you some coffee when I get to the kitchen, if you want.”

“Sounds perfect, my love,” he replied, winking at me. I rolled my eyes with a smile as I opened the door and headed down to the kitchen.

The smell of fresh breakfast hit me as soon as I got near the doors. I inhaled and smiled as I walked in.

“Good morning, your Majesty!” The chef exclaimed, “You look like you may have a busy day ahead of you. Would you care for an omelet, or some crepes?”

“I’ll take a blueberry crepe and a coffee please,” I answered with a smile, “Erik…or, uh, King Donovan would like a coffee as well. He should be down shortly.”

“Coming right up,” the chef replied, plating some crepes and turning on the expresso/coffee machine.

“I’ll be in the dining hall,” I said, “If that’s alright?”

“Of course!” The chef exclaimed, “I’ll have the waiter bring it to you as soon as the coffee is finished, your Majesty.”

“Thank you,” I replied with a smile as I headed to the table. I sat down with a huff and pulled out my cellphone, looking up Patrick’s number.

I took a deep breath as I dialed, almost praying that he wouldn’t answer.
