This should wipe my hands clean off this mess.
Simple as that.
"Rosa," I said, tugging a strand of hair behind her ear. My charm never failed to seduce a girl like her. "This is for our own good. Something great is going to happen for you and me, you can't deny that. So why don't we put our hatred aside and celebrate our future victory together now?"
Rosa's eyes lighted up a little. Then her cheeks blushed. I realized our bodies were already touching. Her small but adorable looking body drew me in like a magnet. My breasts pushed up against hers. Regardless of her attempt to kill me the other day, I sort of enjoyed having the girl with me again, though.
Looking into her eyes, I ran my fingers over Rosa's freckled cheek and raised her chin up to me. I knew I wanted to devour Rosa one more time before she got what she deserved. My other hand reached out to those supple breasts of hers.
"Don't you do that to me again," Rosa hissed, swatting my hand away. "I'm not going to be your sex object anymore."
"Oh is that so? But you're my partner in crime now, and that is kind of the same thing," I said. My hands gripped her around the waist, pulling her body forcefully against mine.
"I don't want it that way," Rosa's hands tried to push at my shoulders, but I tightened my grip around her body. She yelped.
"I can break your ribs, Rosa, don't piss me off this time," I said, looking squarely into her green eyes. She flinched and bit her lips. What did she think she would get from all this protesting? Stupid girl, she would still end up giving herself over to me. The taste of being with a hunter was quite alluring after all.
Rosa glared hard at my face, but she stopped struggling and let me push her to the wall. I brought my nose closer to her neck. My cold breath caused goose bumps on her skin.
"You're the most horrible vampire I've ever seen, you should know that," Rosa spat.
"Of course, not to mention twisted and irresistible," I said with a low snicker, enjoying the blush on her freckled cheeks. "But whatever you say, don’t come unless I tell you to, huntress."
At the very magical word, her body melted into my arms. It was surprising how this girl still continued to amuse me. I leaned down to nuzzle her neck, tracing my tongue over her exposed skin. My hands wound up inside her skirt, frantically squeezing around her tight bum. Rosa gasped at my ravenous touch over her skin. I knew just how she liked it.
I snaked my hand down and slipped it inside her cotton panties. Rosa threw her head back and bit her bottom lip. I lifted her thigh up to my waist and continued to stroke the wet sensitivity between her legs. The little huntress started whimpering in my ear.
The sound of her pleasurable moans was what I needed to hear. Shredding off her white blouse, I buried my face into her soft supple bouncing breasts. My lips and tongue feasted on her hardened nipples. I teethed them until she yelped in pleasure.
I eased down Rosa's panties and started tracing my fingers over her lovely flaps. She was so wet.
"Oh, my, who's the excited one now?" I purred into her ear.
But Rosa was beyond caring now. Her fingers ran through my hair, pulling my head to her arching breasts for more suckle. I was more than happy to give the service. My palm was soaked with her sweetness. Every now and then Rosa would try to push her hips into me. This not-so-innocent girl was desperate for me to claim her again. I stroked her sensitive rosebud harder, causing her to let loose some more of her juices. Her bright green eyes flashed with the heat of pleading lust. But this was just a quick warm up before the main course.
Parting her legs even farther, I trailed kisses down from her breasts and to her flat stomach then right to her secret nest. I placed one of her legs over my shoulder and leaned down until my face was inches away from her feminine flesh. With steady fingers, I stretched open her raw sex canal and inhaled her sweet scent. Rosa was trembling with excitement. Her inner thighs glistened with her own juices. I knew she was ready for any special treatment she was about to receive from me, and I wasn't going to make her wet for long.
I started attacking her femininity, tongue-wrestling with her heated pearl. My fingers poked gently into her dripping flesh, stroking her swelling walls until I was rewarded with loud whimpers. After a while, Rosa couldn't resist any longer. Her sweet greedy sex was already twitching and lubricating in readiness. It was quite fun and arousing to be adventurous with Rosa. I got to explore her body's triggers and play around like she was my supple sex doll.
I ran my skillful tongue up and down her soaked canyon, tickling over her lovely flower. With my mischievous fingers joining the tease, Rosa's heartbeat went wild. I licked the juices from within. I tasted her salty nectar earnestly, torturing the girl with more burning lust. The girl's eyes got teary from a tingling sensation. Her jaw dropped as she looked down at the hateful enemy between her legs.
At last, I slipped my glistened fingers inside her. I came back up to see the shell-shocked girl ready for a wild ride. My hand lifted Rosa's knee again, spreading her wider open for a deep penetrative sex I was going to give her. I kept delving into her soft cave until she threw her arms around my body and moaned out of sheer sexual delight. She clung to my shoulders like a scared koala in a hurricane.
"How do you like that, my little hunter?" I chuckled and knocked her up a little with my fingers buried inside her walls. Rosa wailed in the sweetest wanton tone I'd ever heard. I laughed, feeling her weakest spot already pleading for my mercy. I did it again and again until she clawed on my skin and screamed.
"Please please...I can't...I can't..." Rosa begged, breathless.
"Just hold on, the first big surprise is coming," I whispered and brought my lips to hers. I kept thrusting my hungry tongue down her throat, almost choking her with my deep and hard kiss.
My fingers began easing in and out of Rosa's wet femininity. I pressed and rubbed her heated bud. It sent sparks of sensual pleasure over Rosa's orgasmic world. She moaned, but the sound was muffled against my mouth as I was still tonguing around her throat. She tried to escape for some intakes of air, but I always got her back for more lip-locking. Until the girl's breath became extremely loud and uneven, I realized she was going to cum in no time. Her entrance started twitching and closing in.
"No, no, not yet, try to hold it back....as long as you can," I advised. "I promise it will worth it."
Rosa did try, but her eyes fluttered and rolled back when the tingling sensation started mounting up inside her rocking form. I managed to get the girl to kiss me again, yet I still kept the rhythm steady and direct inside her orgasmic tunnel. Drawing more and more clear juices out of her entrance, I started bringing Rosa to the edge for good.
After a long wild ride, her world finally stopped orbiting. The powerful explosion pushed her headlong into a wormhole of the ecstatic universe. Rosa's body shook and shuddered as she came with a loud wail. After she swam through waves after waves of climaxing shocks, it was over. The girl looked helpless and weightless.
She collapsed into my arms, panting like a baby rabbit from exhaustion. I smiled, smoothing her hair as I looked down at the still-shuddering girl in my hands.
"Told you, great sex comes to those who wait," I said then laughed at my own joke. "So are you ready for the second big surprise, young lady?" When the word sunk in, Rosa lifted her head to stare at me blankly.
"The second big surprise? What...what does it mean?"
I didn't answer her. My hands gripped her firmly by the shoulders and pushed her body back against the wall again. Rosa looked terrified as she stared at my face, now that I looked murderous. I pulled my lips back over my white teeth. The throbbing feeling around my jaw was begging me to squeeze the fangs out. Rosa immediately fought back, but I was quicker and already pinned her hands to the wall.
"A sweet happy ending of you and me, isn't it?" I said through my elongated canines. Then with a flash, I lunged myself forward, aiming right at her delicate throat. My dagger-shaped teeth broke through the soft layer of Rosa's pale skin. The
y buried deep into her main vessel easily. Rosa screamed from the burning pain. My arms tightened around her body, locking the girl in a death-like grip. No matter how hard Rosa fought, I still continued sucking on her fresh delicious blood. I was feeding off her essence with hungry growls rising from the pit of my stomach. Her incredible taste traveled down my throat, energizing me like sweet ambrosia. The more I drank, the thirstier I became.
Rosa's body went limp in my hands, her head lulled on my shoulder. That was when I realized the huntress was finally lifeless.
Chapter 43
Alexandra
I stood looking at the Moskva River through the window. Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Red Square were in my view to the east. I could see Alexander Garden sprawled out from the west side. But everything felt so empty. Moscow was empty and cold and sad. Russia, Window to the West, was now a depressing sight.
But it amazed me how I could still survive without Avery up to this point. It hurt every freaking night. I didn't know how long I could live with this. As if my heart would need a fortress stronger than Kremlin to keep it inside Russia. My heart knew no distance or time, all it was beating for was to be with my loved one. I missed the dizzying happiness with her. I missed her soft skin, her delicious lips, her fragrant scent.
But then the undeniable truth hit me. I didn't deserve Avery. She didn't love me. I had hurt her. She was in love with Anastasia. My sister was perfect for her. Why would Avery choose someone like me? All these painful thoughts stirred up a sharp sting so real that I had to clutch my chest with a gasp.
There was a knock on the door. I collected myself, taking a deep breath before turning around.
"Your highness," Rasputin's voice spoke as he entered the room. "It's already time."
I sighed before stepping away from the city view. It was an annual meeting of the Royal Council. It was mostly about the boring law enforcement and boring banquet afterward. I didn't want to go, but I had to represent Russia at the table. Rasputin just informed me about it last night. I thought it wouldn't start until sometimes later.
"Alright, let's go," I said, but before we walked out of the room. Rasputin reached out his hand to stop me.
"Grand Duchess," he said with an uneasy tone.
"You have something to say?"
"I...I...er..." he started, “I mean...nothing, your highness."
But his face looked paler than usual.
"You don't look well," I said. "That's alright. You don't have to go with me this time."
Rasputin looked at me, somewhat shocked, but then he nodded.
A moment later, as we were in the Portrait Hall, I remembered something.
"Where's Nikol?" I asked Rasputin.
"I'm not aware of that, your highness," he said, looking a bit fidget. "But why do you ask?"
"I haven't seen her much these days," I said with a frown. "That’s odd."
With a snap decision, I decided to check on her. The guards posted around her chamber stiffened when they saw me approaching. But after they pushed the doors of her room open, there was no Nikol there.
"Where is she?" I asked, stepping out again to look at the guards. Rasputin almost flinched under my curious stare. I wondered what was wrong with him today.
"Who are you looking for? Me?" Nikol appeared from the other side of the hall. She walked up to us and crossed her arms.
"Where have you been, Nikol?" I said.
"Oh now you remember I exist," she said.
"Knock it off," I hissed, stepping closer to her. "I don't want anything to do with you either. But you have to come to the council meeting with me."
"What?" Nikol's voice squeaked. "Why do I have to go?"
"Because I said so," I said. "You have five minutes to get ready. Don't waste my time."
Nikol glared at me. Then her eyes instinctively gazed at Rasputin. It was so quick, you could have missed it, but something in her eyes seemed to tickle my gut.
"What is it?" I asked, looking between her and Rasputin.
"Nothing," she said and then she turned away. There was this strange aura around her. But I still had difficulty framing it.
A while later we were in the car. Nikol sat next to me. She didn't talk or tried anything stupid with me, which was good, but I couldn't seem to get her silence this time. It made me a little uncomfortable.
The black limousines and SUV cars whizzed out of the palace and across the Red Square. I looked through the window until we reached one of the city gates. The sky was darkening.
"Wait, why are we heading here?" I asked the driver. Then I noticed the quiet atmosphere of the area. Building and streets looked abandoned. It was the east gate of Moscow, the furthest outskirt of the city. "Why is there no one guarding this entrance?"
"Rasputin ordered them to leave," Nikol spoke for the first time without looking at me.
"How do you know he did that?" I turned my head to her.
"Because I told him to," she said, turning to look at me with her deep violet eyes.
I was about to ask her for clarity, but then I heard an explosion from behind our car. The shock wave cracked our bulletproof windows. My eardrums almost split at the sound. I turned around to find two of our SUV cars were ablaze.
"The hunters!" one of the royal guards yelled. "We're under attack!" Our soldiers rushed out of their cars, but they got shot from all directions and collapsed to ground one by one. Then a long metal-tipped arrow struck through the window on my side. Shards of glass flew all over the seat.
"Damn it!" I hissed and pushed open the door to get out. The hunters were hiding in every corner of the empty streets and tall buildings. Everywhere I turned; it was raging with chaotic screaming and running. Then ropes unrolled from the walls and a dozen of hunters slid through them.
They were armed with crossbows and long curved blades. Once their feet reached the ground, arrows flew everywhere. The guards tried to counter attack but most of them got shot in the chest. The vampires were faster and stronger, but the hunters were well-trained. It was going to be a severe bloodbath without a doubt.
I turned back to the car again, but Nikol was gone. She was probably hiding her behind from all sorts of harm. I already imagined her watching from a safe distance by now—that coward.
"Your highness!" a guard came stumbling toward me, "You can't stay here. There are too many of them."
An arrow burst through his chest from behind. The guard fell to the ground in front of me. That's when I saw a hunter wearing a white fur coat with the hood on. He stood with his crossbow pointing at me.
"You don't want to do that," I said to him.
But he still pulled the trigger. The arrow shot out. I could see its tip sailing straight at me, but I dodged it just in time. It hit one of the cars instead. Except I didn't know it had an explosive tip. And a roar of ear-splitting blast erupted only ten feet away from me. A mushroom of red flame burst out. The shock wave hurled me to the ground, causing the world to spin for a moment.
I sat up and saw black smoke emitting to the air. Getting on my feet again, I saw two other hunters appeared. They drew out their shining hatchets and curved blades from their backs. One of them threw a hatchet at me. I did a back-flip, missing the weapon barely an inch. The other lunged forward, but I welcomed him with a kick to the chest. He went airborne and broke through a window shop.
When the last one came at me, one of the royal guards took care of him. Then the frenzy biting and stabbing started between them. I didn't wait to see who died first and flashed over to another hunter. I slammed him against the car hard. Then I rushed back to the one who tried to shoot me, grabbing him by the throat.
"Get yourself out of here before I tear you apart!" I growled at him through my sharp teeth. He was struggling like a child against my iron grip. Then I heard a soft whinny sound. I pulled the hoodie off and realized the hunter was just a girl. She had those big brown eyes and dark brown hair flowing down her white fur coat. I stared at the girl. I could have snapped
her little neck easily, but I didn't. She was about Avery's age.
I was distracted until a sharp pain burst in my body. Someone stabbed me in the back. My anguish cry filled the air. The person was quite strong for a hunter. I pushed the human girl to the ground. She stared back at me in confusion and then stumbled away. My backstabber wrapped one arm around my neck before pulling the blade out of my body. My eyes widened at the horrible pain. I could feel the blood surging from my open wound.
"Surprise!" Nikol's voice said in a singsong tone.
"Nic...Nikol?"
Before I could process what was going on, she gave me a second hard stab. It sent a wave of shock and dizziness through me. My jaw snapped open in agony. I could feel the hot blood flowing. Then my knees buckled and I fell to the ground. Nikol turned me onto my back. She was already sitting on my stomach, pinning my body down with her entire weight. Then she pointed a shiny curved blade to my throat. My eyes went blur as I lay in the red pool of blood around me.
"That's for what you have done to me, Alexandra," she smiled in my face. "I would love to have the hunters kill you for me, but I figure I should do it myself. So it's now or never."
"Why? Nikol, why are you doing this?"
"You know the answer better than anyone, Alex!" she yelled back. "I'm sick of living under your shadow. With you out of the picture, everything will be mine and only mine! Anastasia and the empire...oh and don't forget, I also get to have your human lover in my hand. But of course, I won't keep her for long, because she'll be sent to hell with you after this."
I could see the madness in her eyes. My back hurt so bad, it paralyzed me on the spot.
