Danny grabbed her face and gave her a passionate kiss. He kissed her shoulder and started moving again. They made love all night long. Morning came, and Monique wasn’t sore. It was surprising for her because they had sex throughout the night. Danny slept with his hand behind his head. She turned over and slid down to his waist, he stirred but didn’t wake up. Monique took his member in her hand and licked it up and down. She heard a low rumble roll through his body. She looked up to find Danny looking at her with hunger in his eyes. Monique returned to what she was doing, taking the tip in her mouth and swirling her tongue around it, drawing a deep moan out of Danny. She then took it all in her mouth, making sure her tongue moved up and down, drawing several deep groans from Danny. Monique felt him get brick hard, as he growled. One more lick and she felt hot liquid explode in her mouth. Danny let out a loud roar and left shredded sheets beside him. Monique gave him a deep kiss, and he flipped her over and slid into her from behind. Monique moaned as he went deep and fast. He put his hand on her thigh and increased his pace. It didn’t take long before he came with a loud roar. When he realized what he’d done, he went in front of her and apologized profusely. He said he had lost control, and asked her if her and the baby were okay. He looked so guilty; he felt really bad. Monique decided to put him out of his misery.
“I’m okay, I’m okay.” She said, in an assuring tone.
Danny visibly relaxed, gave her a kiss. “I’m sorry baby.” She held his face and looked in his eyes,
“I’m okay, we’re ok,” she said, putting his hand to her stomach, Monique gave him a quick peck.
Danny realized where his hand was and scooted eye level with her stomach.
“I love you, and will never leave you. I promise.” He felt a kick as he uttered those words, and looked excitedly at Monique. She looked at him with amusement in her eyes. He laid a gentle kiss on her stomach, scooted up and looked deeply in Monique’s eyes to say, “That goes for you too. I might not have been here these last couple of weeks, but I’m here now and always will be.”
“What about your people?”
”My people?” asked Danny with one raised eyebrows.
“Yes, I can’t let you abandon them for us”
“First,” he began, taking her face in his hands, “You and my child are my family and y’all come first. Secondly, what do you mean? What about my people?” He asked, with his face scrunched up.
“She told me you plan to give up your crown.”
“Who?” he interrupted. Danny’s eyes were already red.
“Angelina.”
He jumped out of bed, and paced back and forth, with red eyes forward, and chest rising with breaths coming in spurts. Monique got up and put her hand tentatively on his arm.
“Danny? Is everything ok?”
He stopped and looked at Monique.
“I was never considering giving up my crown,” he said in a guttural voice.
“Really?”
Danny saw her eyes turn red, and her nails get sharp and long.
“I’ll be right back.” She said, brushing by Danny. He held her by the waist, as if to stop her, and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I need to see someone.”
“You are naked.” He said in amusement.
Monique looked down and said, “I don’t need clothes.”
He smirked, whipped her around and kissed her hard. Their tongues battled for dominance, as she kissed him back as intensely as he did her. She hooked her leg around his waist, and then he carried her, and pinned her back to the wall. He slid into her with ease. They both moaned in each other's mouths as they mated and exchanged pleasure. Danny pumped into her hard and fast. Monique dragged her nails up his back, moaning loudly. He knew she was drawing blood, but all that knowledge did was heighten his desire for her. Sweat covered their bodies. The veins in her neck longed for him. Monique displayed her neck as if to give him permission. Danny rocked into her one more time and she exploded. Danny’s teeth dropped down and he sunk them in her neck. Monique saw stars; everything she was feeling was heightened. Danny shot warm cum in her. Euphoria spread throughout his body.
Feeling blissful, he carried her to bed. Still, out of it, Monique laid on his chest. Danny smoothed her hair and got lost in his thoughts. She listened to his even breathing and fell asleep. A ring from her phone woke her.
“Meet me if you want him to live.”
Monique immediately wiped the sleepiness out her eyes. She got the address from the caller and got dressed, trying not to disturb a sleeping Danny. She snuck out, knowing if he knew he would be outraged.
Danny woke, startled to find the space next to him empty. He immediately called Monique.
“Where are you?” He said into the phone.
“At the store. Cravings.” She said, shamelessly lying.
“Hurry back, the bed feels empty without you.”
“I will.” Monique promised.
“I love you,” said Danny. “I love you too,” she said.
“And I’m really sorry my old put you in danger.”
“Water under the bridge.”
“Really?” he said.
“I’m getting over it my own way.”
“I’m glad baby. I would never intentionally put y’all in trouble.”
“I know you wouldn’t. I’ll be there soon.”
“Okay,” Danny said, as he hung up.
Monique moved the branch out of her way as she made it to her destination. The shadows of the night were slowly disappearing as the morning light made its entrance. She came to a lake and spotted Angelina standing there. Monique felt her blood boil at the sight. Angelina saw Monique and began walking towards her. Her nails extended, and so did Monique’s; her teeth also grew longer, and Monique’s did same. Suddenly, Angelina stood frozen before Monique. Her eyes were wide open, as her head lulled to the side and hit the ground; her body followed. Monique crouched beside her lifeless body, tore out her heart and stared at it for a second. The sound of the still-beating heart amazed her. She cocked her head and then licked it. She licked it again and again, and then sunk her teeth in it. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and stood after pushing the body into lake. Monique licked her red drenched nails. Danny laid awake waiting for Monique. He knew she was safe because their connection or the baby would have sent him a feeling if they weren’t. His bond with his child had grown so strong, that she could send her mother’s feelings to him. That fact gave him so much satisfaction. Monique must have got what she was craving for, he thought. He sat up in bed thinking about how Monique impacted his life. Danny walked to the living room and dug his phone out his discarded pants, dialed a number and put the phone to his ear.
“Hello?” A feminine voice said.
“Yea, it’s me.”
“Danny?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s so good to hear from you again.”
“I can’t talk for long but can we meet up?”
“That would be great.”
They talked out the details and hung up. Danny went back to bed wishing Monique was there to snuggle with. He shut his eyes, wishing she was there with him. Almost immediately, a soft hand caressed his face. His eyes slowly opened to see a naked Monique in bed with him.
“I’m here my king.”
They made love slowly until she left for work.
It had been three months since that day in her apartment. Just thinking about that day made his member twitch. Monique came walking out of her job. These days, she wobbled more; her stomach was huge. He found out she was only a month when she came to him but her stomach was already protruding from her body. He had to slow down with sex because her stomach was growing so big. He wanted to prevent the many aches she complained about.
He couldn’t believe she was just four months. He seemed to only share her pain when he was not around her. And for the most part, he never left her side; they were inseparable.
“Tonight I thought I’d take you o
ut.” Danny said, walking her to the car.
“That would be great,” said Monique as she got into the car. He drove to the park for their daily walks. Monique loved it because of the breeze and of course, the fact that she had to spend time with Danny. He would always talk about his duties in the castle. While he would talk, she would usually ignore the guards that were always with him. That day, he came to her job with the flowers and was put in danger, according to his new advisor - more like his friend - Joseph. She liked him; he was carefree but serious about his duties. He always made anything concerning her a priority
She assumed Danny instructed him. Anyway, he was much better than Angelina. So, with the guards, she didn’t mind. It sure didn’t bother Danny. He would always act as though they weren’t there. They walked and talked about everything.
“Hey, I got a question for you.” He said.
“Ask away.”
“Has Angelina contacted you?”
“No, why?” Monique asked.
“I found out her and Charlotte were working together on your kidnapping.”
On hearing that, she felt even better about what she did to Angelina.
“Well I’m glad she disappeared.” She said.
“Me too,” said Danny, laying a kiss on her hand. Monique’s cheeks flushed with pleasure. He treated her like a queen.
Chapter 14
“I have somewhere else I want to take you.”
“Where?” Monique inquired with childlike excitement.
“You will see.” He guided her to the car. Monique got excited as Danny pulled up to Charlies, the ice cream shop they went to in the beginning. It seemed like so long ago.
They walked in, with Monique all smiles. Danny’s ego was boosted that he did that. They ordered and found a seat. He watched her lick her spoon, and thought about how much he loved her.
“What?” said Monique, as she caught his eyes fixated on her.
“Nothing.” Danny said, taking his focus back to his ice cream. They ate the ice cream quickly. The ice cream happened to be just what she was craving for. When they were done with the ice cream business, they went back to her apartment.
As they got to her door, he said “I'll be back around seven my love.”
“What are we doing at seven?” She asked.
“Just dress up.” He said.
Monique gave him a peck on the lips; the peck somehow turned into a kiss. He went slow and played with her lips. Her eyes closed as she tried to take in how good it felt. She could taste the strawberry ice cream he had. Her eyes were still closed when he pulled away. He had to stop or he would never be able to leave. She could feel his arms around her, supporting her. Monique slowly opened her eyes, “I’ll be back at seven to get you beautiful. Wear something fancy.”
“Why?” She asked, as she blushed, feigning naivety.
He smiled - that sexy smile that had her hooked in the beginning, and then gave her a peck and walked off.
Danny rode to her house quite nervous. Anxiety gripped him as he approached her house. With sweat barely seeping through his shirt, he knocked on her door, and she answered. Monique wore a blue halter top dress with blue flat shoes. He hugged her, and as he did, her sweet perfume assaulted his nose.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes!”
She looked so good. Danny stopped his thoughts in their tracks, otherwise, they would never leave. He walked her outside. Monique’s hand went to her mouth when she saw the white stretch limousine. She knew he had money, but he never flaunted it; at least not to this point. The chauffeur held the door open for them. Danny nudged her to get in and slid in after her. He reached for the two flutes of sparkling apple. Danny personally made sure there was no alcohol in the limo, as he didn’t want to hurt Tara - his daughter. Monique told him the sex days ago, so it wasn’t a surprise to either of them, but a confirmation. They came up with the name together. It was the closest to Tara he could get, to represent him. He looked at Monique, and she was glowing. His heart could burst with the love he had for her. He laid their glasses down and softly caressed her face. He looked in her black eyes and said;
“I love you.”
“I love you too,” he said as he placed a feather-light kiss on her lips. She opened her eyes and stared into Danny’s face; his eyes were still closed. Monique loved this man. He was by her side through every ache or kick. He soothed her and the baby just by being near her. He rarely missed a day, he was the only person that could cheer her up. She didn’t have too many aches and pains; she assumed that was because she was a vampire. Monique came to terms with her condition pretty quickly now that her consciousness was mostly clear. The blond tramp plagued her mind a few times but she didn’t think she had to worry about her. Her bloodlust was under control enough to work. Everything was perfect!
She breathed out heavily, life was good. Danny turned to her with scrunched-up eyebrows. “Are you okay?” She heard the urgency in his voice. “Everything is perfect,” she said with a smile.
She couldn't bear a day without him. And to think she went weeks without him; that didn’t seem possible anymore. To be honest, every day, she had to wrestle her emotions to not go to him. Monique felt drawn to him. The limo pulled up to a restaurant, Sass, where they had their first date. It looked too busy for a Wednesday. Danny was already outside with the chauffeur opening her door. Monique stepped out and took the offered hand. She was right, it was packed. Luckily for them, they spotted one empty table. The waitress walked them to the table, gave them two menus, and left smiling like she knew something was up. Monique ordered a rare steak with vegetables; she ate more meat rare these days, she couldn't keep it down any other way. Danny ordered the same thing. They quietly cleared their plates. Danny took Monique’s hand, and as a response, she looked at him with a questioning stare.
Breaking the silent glances they took, he began; “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Your smile brightens my day. You have made me realize what I never knew I was missing; a family, and you have given me that and so much more. I want our child to be a real princess” As he uttered those words, he pulled a little black box with a ring holding a giant green gem out of his pocket. Monique put her hands to her mouth crying silent tears. Danny got down on one knee and asked: “Will you be my queen?”
“Yes!” Monique cried. Danny took her tear-ridden left hand and slid the ring on, and got up to kiss her. Shouts and chants of excitement were heard in the background. Danny got in his seat, and told her that everyone present there was from his mother’s pack. She didn’t recognize any of them but his mom, who visited frequently. She said she wanted to be a part of her grandchild’s life, and they were perfectly fine with that.
Time flew by - from weeks, to months, but she still looked at her hand in disbelief. They agreed to have the wedding after the baby was born. Monique smiled to herself as she walked to Danny. She found it difficult to walk. On reaching Danny, she kissed him, and he guided her to the car. Once inside, he said, “I thought I would show you the garden today.”
“I...”
Her face twisted, as she tried to speak. Her fists curled into a tight ball, and she started breathing heavily in short spurts.
“What's wrong?”
“Contractions!” She exclaimed, as she was trying to blow and inhale quickly. They didn’t move, as the contractions were coming quickly. Through a bawled up face and a tight grip, she managed to say, “I think it’s time.” She was blowing heavily with her mouth, while Danny rubbed her back. She screamed as the next one hit. Quickly, he dashed to the hospital, and as they got there, Monique was immediately escorted to her private room. The doctor came in and said she was already eight centimeters dilated, and she only had to get to ten. I’m only six months gone, thought Monique. Danny could feel her strong feelings and tried to reassure her, saying, “It’s ok, the baby is fine.”
“How do you know that?” She asked. Worry etched in her voice, and her eyes glistened with unshed
tears.
“I can feel her,” he said.
Monique felt a little better but could not feel completely relieved until she was able to have the baby. The doctor shared her concerns. “Such months, early...”
“Yes,” a worried Monique interrupted.
The doctor continued, “This early, we typically want to wait as long as possible so the baby can develop as much as it can.”
“Are you saying my baby won’t be fully developed?” She asked, squeezing Danny’s hand. “We will do an ultrasound to check,” the doctor said calmly. Monique shook her head acknowledging what he said. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Danny hugged her, and Monique reciprocated. Suddenly, she felt a kick, and through tears, she exclaimed, “That was a strong one!” Pain assaulted her, reminding her it was still there. She twisted, with her face scrunched. The epidural they gave her in the back did nothing for her. Danny felt helpless, watching her twist in pain. He put his hand on her stomach to rub it and felt intense hunger. He knew he wasn’t hungry, so he had no idea where the feeling came from. Soon, he realized his hand was on her stomach. He looked at Monique, opened a vein on his arm and put it to her mouth and asked her to drink. Monique looked at him crazy. But he insisted, “Our little girl is hungry, drink.” No other words were needed, as the blood from his arm had her saliva dripping down her chin. She latched onto his arm, and he rubbed her hair while she drank. He started to feel weak but just couldn't pull away. She needed this, they needed it. The blood tasted so good thought Monique, as her grip tightened on Danny’s arm. Her grip was relentless but he could take it. Her eyes turned bloodshot red, then back to normal and she let go of his arm. Danny fell into the chair, and said he would be right back.
