Chosen Bride of the Seven Dark Princes

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT]

"I'm sorry." Candace whispered. "The second time around, it will be much better, I promise."

Second time? He was allowed a second time? She was going to let him do this again?

Lucas took a deep breath, his shapely full lips quivering with anticipation.

The pain had started to recede from his memory.

All that was left was the fact that Candace was still lying on top of him and he was still inside her body.

His eyes began to widen with surprise.

Not only was he still inside her body, he was starting to harden again.

Was that even possible? Wasn't there supposed to be a certain amount of time that was required for him to…recover or something?

Candace chuckled.

"You're a feisty one. I can feel you getting hard again."

Lucas closed his eyes and tried to think of other things so that he wouldn't be so obvious about his growing need for her.

But of course, his body continued to betray him.

"Lucas." Candace was murmuring into his chest as she played with the curly blond hair grown there.

"Hmmm?" He mumbled, still trying to control the raging beast that was his little brother down there.

"All your brothers told me you had more girlfriends than any of them combined."

Lucas stiffened. "That's mostly the work of my publicist. He seemed to think that if I was seen with many many beautiful women, I would seem to be more desirable to the general public."

"So none of them were your girlfriends?"

Lucas laughed. "I didn't say that."

He lifted her face and looked into her eyes. "I have had more girlfriends within the last ten years than I can even count. They all claimed me as theirs even if we'd only been seen out just once at a coffee shop having lattes."

He shook his head. "It boosted their popularity so they could move forward with their singing career, added to their modeling profile, or gained them better acting roles."

He kissed her temple. "It didn't hurt my career either so I just let my publicist say whatever he pleased."

Candace laughed gently. "So you became Husband of the Galaxy."

Lucas growled a deep rumbling in this throat.

"No. What ended up happening was, I turned into a huge gigolo playboy of the galaxy." He turned to Candace with a serious look in his amber eyes.

"But I want you to understand something. I'm a married man now. All of that nonsense is going to stop." He crushed her body into his arms and pressed his cheek onto the top of her head.

His eyes grew serious. He had to convince her of his sincerity.

"I don't even need to prove to you that it's all just part of my professional profile. You have first-hand experience of how little interaction I have with any of them."

"Yes." She choked back a laugh. "I can't believe you're a virgin."

Lucas took a deep breath. The acute embarrassment of being so inexperienced in front of the woman he loved was starting to lessen in its intensity.

"You may not realize this, but I'm actually terrified of people in general." He admitted. "I was always a very shy kid growing up so Mother hired teachers and tutors to help me break out of my shell."

"Wow. I didn't know that you could learn how to be less shy."

Lucas shook his head. "I wasn't taught how to become less shy. I was taught how to pretend to be outgoing and engaging so that I could at least make some friends and not become so isolated."

"Aaaahh." She nodded. That made so much sense.

"I got so good at pretending all sorts of things I didn't feel that I was picked out to act in tiny kid roles. But I was a Prince. Whoever heard of a Prince actor?"

Indeed. Candace smiled.

Lucas sighed. "Luckily, Mother convinced Father that it would be good for my self-esteem to be able to go out there and break out of my intense shyness, so he gave the approval for me to do some small bit parts."

"Let me guess, the small bit parts turned into large bit parts."

Lucas shook his head. "The small bit parts turned into major starring roles within a year. They took advantage of the fact that I was a real honest to goodness Prince to boost their ratings."

He shrugged. "And given the chance to work with the best people, I got really good, really fast. And it's been like that ever since."

"Wow." Candace rubbed his strong muscular pecs. "I can't believe I snagged me a real movie star."

She bent her head and gave him a playful bite on his chest.

Her playful nip turned his lust for her blood back to full blast. His teeth began to lengthen once again.

Before he realized what was happening, Candace was beginning to grind her woman parts into his loins.

He blushed a deep red as he realized that she was rubbing her bud into his manhood as she moved her hips in a back and forth motion.

Her very movement was causing his shaft to grow with urgency once again.

His need for her was growing at a pace that her gentle rubbing motion could not appease enough to satisfy him.

With a quick motion of his fingers, Lucas levitated them off the bed and flipped her body around so that she was under him.

As they sank back down onto the bed, he bucked into her with hard jabs to assuage that growing hunger that once again took over his senses.

"Slow down, stallion." Candace chuckled gently. "We have a lifetime of loving so there's no need to rush this."

She slowed him down and showed him how to maintain a pace that allowed for a gentle easy loving. His mouth and hands touched her full breasts with eagerness and joy as he slid himself in and out deep within her.

In this precious space and time, there was no shame or embarrassment. There was just overwhelming love and acceptance. He felt at once reassured and strong, as if he could do anything and she would never judge him or make him feel less than a man.

A single grateful tear slid down his cheek, to be licked away and kissed out of existence by her eager soft lips.

At first, he complied, seeing how much she enjoyed the feel of his body moving slowly and gently inside her, but after ten minutes, he could no longer maintain the gentle unhurried pace that she enjoyed so much.

His body needed to release once again and he began to increase his rhythmic bucking.

With his need to release, his fangs grew once more.

Fighting to keep himself from devolving into a beast, he gritted his teeth and tried to maintain his humanoid physique.

"Love…" Candace was murmuring into his ear.

Did she just call him 'Love'? Did that mean she love him?

Lucas could barely believe his ears. Knowing that she loved him and hearing her say it to him were two completely separate things.

"Bite me."

"Huh?" He panted. He was trying so hard not to think about the blood running through her body and here she was telling him to bite her.

"I want to be able to communicate with you mentally, and the only way to do that is for you to give me your…"

"Precious Candace." He shook his head. "I will not do this to you."

"Why?" Candace asked even as she pushed her blonde hair to one side and leaned her neck into his face.

"Because it can lead to—"

"Mind control? Enslaved servitude?" She gave a very unladylike snort. "Please. You're my husband. You'll have to trust me that I would never do anything like that to you."

Lucas's mouth opened and closed a couple of times.

That wasn't exactly what he was going for, but she seemed to have grasped the situation quite well.

She actually understood that it wasn't just a bite that would give him some deeply craved blood, it would also bind them in ways that were difficult to completely comprehend.

"Come on Loverboy. Bite me." She smiled, shoving her neck at his lips. "Inject me with your love-juice so I can talk to you mind-to-mind."

With a growl, Lucas' fangs grew twice their size even as his bat wings began to unfurl on their own accord. He instinctively wrapped his wings around both their bodies, shielding them from the outside world.

At that moment, Lucas made a vow to himself that within the shelter of his large dark wings, she would be safe from harm.

His 'love-juice' dripped from his fangs, dribbling over her skin. Where it touched, the nerves of her skin deadened by a tiny amount.

With a sigh of surrender, Lucas tenderly sank his fangs into the throbbing arteries that moved her life-giving blood throughout her body.

His serum hit her body and she quivered with the effect that it gave her. At the same time, her blood spurt out in hot metallic abundance.

With grateful adoration, he took a few gulps of her precious blood and then licked her wound, healing her with his mouth and tongue so that she would not lose a single drop.

And then as one, they moved together in perfect unison until they finally gasped, clinging to each other as a bright and shining light erupted between their entwined bodies, engulfing them in the sweetest glory of love.
