40 Chapter 40: You’re Mine Alone

Reed was restless. Emy’s neck wound is still there, although he has used his healing power multiple times. He needs the help of Maria or Devin to save Emy. He had been strolling around the room back and forth earlier. Maria had not yet returned, and Emy’s wound had to be cured before the vampire saliva spread to Emy’s blood and infected Emy’s entire body, as he was gazing at his wristwatch.

Reed took a deep breath. “Damn it!” He approached Emy and sat on the bed, continuously removing vampire saliva with black smoke, but nothing happened.

“Damn it! Damn it!” Reed continues to curse.

“Hmmm, you seem furious!” Devin said.

Reed turned to face Devin. He approached Emy and looked at her. “Why are you so upset when she’s simply sleeping?” Devin asked.

“You do not know what happened?” Reed asked. Devin was standing right in front of him, but he couldn’t tell him what he wants to say. He was certain it would pave the road for him to take the throne once he knew his weakness.

“Damn it!” Reed cursed.

Devin chuckled. “Haist, I’ve been taking care of things in the realm and I’ve only just returned,” Devin explained. “Tell me why you’re upset. ”

Maria arrived before Reed, who did not respond. “I have brought Avery home, my king. I also brought Jasmin home, who had been left asleep at your office.” Maria said.

.....

“Well done,” Reed said.

“How is the queen, my king?” Maria asked.

Reed took a deep breath. “What happened to the queen?”

Maria averted her gaze and was astonished to see Devin. “I didn’t notice you, Prince Devin,” Maria said. “My apology.”

“Tell me, what happened to the queen?” Devin asked.

“Why do you need to know?” Reed asked.

Devin smirked. “Okay, alright if you don’t want to say anything. I’m leaving.” Devin says, then vanishes in front of Maria and Reed.

Reed approached Mary while caressing his bottom lip. “Can you check on the queen?” Reed asked Mary.

“W-what?” Maria asked. Reed didn’t respond, but Maria understood and sprang to the side of the bed. She emitted black smoke, which enveloped Emy’s wound and spread throughout her body, removing the vampire’s saliva from her blood. If that can’t be removed, Emy may also die or become a vampire.

Reed stared down at his hand. He now understands the outcome of his chosen power. ‘It shouldn’t happen again,’ Reed thought.

“My king, the queen, is safe now,” Maria said.

Reed looked at Maria. Reed approached Emy and checked the wound on her neck, which had healed. He turned to face Maria while adjusting Emy’s blanket.

“Well done, Maria,” Reed said.

“Rest, my king,” Maria advised.

As Reed finished speaking, Maria stepped out the door. “Aren’t you curious?” Reed asked.

Maria came to a halt and turned to face Reed. “No, my king,” Maria said, as she exited the room.

Reed placed both hands in his pockets and returned his gaze to Emy.

——

Maria was astonished to see Devin enter her room. When he enters her room, he glances around and turns to face her.

“I just entered your room and...” Devin said. “It’s not big. Is this all Reed offered to you? ”

“I choose it,” Maria said.

Devin moved closer to Maria, but she remained still. She waited for Devin to approach near to her. Maria locked her gaze on Devin.

“Vampires have crossed over into the human realm,” Devin said. He came to a halt in front of Maria. “I believe your ex-name boyfriend is Eldrick, isn’t it?”

“It’s been a long time, Prince Devin,” Mary said. Devin nodded. “I’m sorry, Prince Devin, but I need to rest as well.”

“All right,” Devin said. Devin moved closer to the door and then opened it. “I forgot to tell you, Maria.” she turned to face Devin. “I see you all the time.”

Reed vanished through the threshold, leaving just smoke behind. Maria tightened her hand and stared at the door.

——

Reed sat on his bed, his gaze fixed on his hand. The sun was rising, and drowsiness had left him. He looked across at Emy, who was still sound sleeping on the bed. Reed stood up and walked directly to the restroom.

Half an hour had passed, and Emy awoke and went to the restroom. When she entered, she quickly sat on the toilet bowl and urinated. Reed, who was bathing in the tub, glanced at her. Reed smiled as he looked at Emy. She assumed Reed wasn’t at home as she didn’t see her there.

“Damn, why does my neck hurt?” Emy asked herself.

Emy rose and removed her clothes, including her underwear. Reed watched her till she entered the shower. Reed notices Emy’s silhouette in the shower room from the bathtub. He watched every movement of the shadow. He could feel the tension in his lower half as he watched Emy’s fingers caress her body.

“Damn it, I can’t take it anymore...” Reed said. He vanished from the tub, and it surprised Emy when Reed appeared in front of her. Reed kissed Emy on the lips, which astonished her. Nothing has happened between them in a few days, and he missed Emy.

His lips were over hers. Emy’s nips stiffened as they kissed. Her breast yearned with the want to be touched, tasted, and sucked. Reed massaged Emy’s neck and boldly claimed her lips. Every movement of his tongue was urgent. Emy was extremely near to the muscular arm. Emy’s body was wrapped in a pleasant sensation. Reed’s kiss landed on Emy’s neck.

Emy whimpered, but an image flashed over her mind. A man whose face he couldn’t recognize. Its image was hazy in her thoughts. Emy felt Reed suck on her neck, but her thoughts were elsewhere. A stingy feeling sinks into her neck. Each time Reed sucked on the skin on her neck, a man was sucking her blood. She pushed Reed hard, which shocked him.

Emy held herself and gazed in fear at Reed. Her tears fell. Reed was taken aback by what Emy did.

“Wifey...” Reed said to Emy. “Wifey, what’s going on?”

Emy rushed out of the shower room. She took the towel and wrapped herself in it. Reed looked at Emy.

When Emy emerged from the restroom, she turned around. She did not know what memories were running through her head, but she was afraid. Her entire body trembled. She instantly got a dress and put it on before returning to bed to lie down and cover herself with a comforter. Reed appeared out of nowhere next to the bed. He wrapped a towel to his bottom half.

“Wifey,” Reed said.

“Go... leave!” Emy cried from behind the covers.

“Tell me, did I do something?” Reed asked. “It’s alright if you no longer want to have sex with me. Don’t drive me away. ”

Reed grasped the comforter while Emy remained silent. He noticed Emy’s trembling.

“H-have mercy on me, don’t kill me,” Emy begged.

Reed was dumbfounded. He let go of Emy. He tightened his fist. What the vampire did still seems to have impacted Emy’s mind. Reed’s palm emitted black smoke and placed it into Emy’s ear.

After a few minutes, Emy was still not leaving beneath the cover, so Reed walked back to the restroom. Emy removed the comforter that was on top of Reed as he entered the restroom.

‘What am I doing here?’ ‘ Emy thought.

Emy moved her gaze to the bed. ‘Didn’t he come home last night? What happened to him? He rushed away from me the night before. Haist!’ Emy thought.

Emy cast a peek at the floor towel. She recalled she was supposed to take a bath, so she hurriedly stripped and returned to the bathroom. She promptly closed the door. Reed opened the shower door, assuming someone had opened it, and he was correct. Emy was staring at him, not at his face, but his hardness, standing tall and waving at Emy.

Emy’s face flushed. “Ah, I thought, you’re not here. I’m coming out...” Emy said.

But Reed stood in front of her and kissed her on the lips before she could touch the door handle. Then Emy felt the water from the shower. They got inside the shower room without her knowing.

Emy looked to be enslaved by Reed’s passionate kiss. She had just reacted to his passionate kiss. Emy instantly wrapped one hand around Reed’s neck. He relinquished control of her lips. Reed breathed as he slipped his tongue into her lips, his warm palm massaging between her thighs. Reed kissed her on the neck. Another image flashed across her head. She pushed Reed away, but he didn’t budge. Instead, he pressed his lips on her ear.

“Wifey, stop thinking,” Reed whispered. “I don’t want another man going through your head when I’m with you. Focus on me, Wifey. Savor the delightful pleasure that I will give you. ”

Reed sucked on her breast and fiddled with the top of it like a thirsty toddler. Emy groaned. Reed inserted two digits into Emy. Her lips parted as she moaned. He thrust it in and out of her, twisting his fingers within.

“Ooh!” Emy groaned. Reed made another sliding and twisting motion before pressing his thumb on her cl*t and frantically massaging it. Every movement of his palm between her thighs transmitted tens of thousands of volts of electricity. She felt as if she were being shaken by a searing feeling.

Reed sensed Emy’s plight. His lips meet hers with a seductive ferocity that almost takes her breath away. His kiss gets more intense, and he is completely absorbed by the pleasure he has discovered within her. Emy’s groan faded away. Reed’s palm touched her breast and felt her hard top between his fingers. Emy’s head was spinning. The man vanished from her thoughts, and only Reed’s kisses and caresses drove her insane at the time.

“Damn Wifey, how I miss having your body against mine? You do not know how badly I want this...” Reed said in Emy’s ear, kissing her earlobe.

Reed sucked on the top of her breast, making her feel like floating in the air. She was hooked to him. All she could do was let her body react in ways it hadn’t previously. Reed’s hand crept between her thighs. Reed focused on her femininity. He parted Emy’s thigh and slid himself between her legs. Emy felt his thickness inside her, tightening her walls with one hard thrust. His ferocious growl aroused her. He was cruel, and she moaned as Reed rubbed himself on her.

“Oh, gosh,” Emy moaned.

Reed slapped Emy’s butt cheeks after lifting her butt. “Aahh..!” Emy moaned.

Reed even pulled Emy’s back down, causing her hips to rise even higher. He brutally f*cked her. His hips slammed her as he buried his manhood deep into her. Every rough, crushing thrust made Emy’s body tremble. He gave her a great pump while massaging her breast.

Emy’s tummy heated with each push. He could sense her reaching the climax gradually. Reed could feel Emy’s imminent outburst. Reed drew Emy forward and lifted her. Emy’s thighs wrapped around Reed’s hips, pushing her into the wall. He drove his hips forward and then pushed more into her. Reed’s growl drew in Emy. Emy’s trembling joined Reed’s growls. He plunged his hardness harder and deeper into her. He’s f*cking her almost savagely. His grunts flooded Emy’s ear. The slurping sound of her cave being hammered filled the room with intensity. Emy soon saw Reed’s body trembling. Then she felt it. Within her, a hot liquid poured. He couldn’t count how many times it spilled his heat from within her.

They were both tired and panting as they leaned against the shower room’s wall. They both gasped as Reed turned to face her.

“I miss you, Wifey,” Reed said.
