Theodore I open my eyes, blinking against the sunlight streaming in through the large windows. Moving my hand over the bedsheets, I find the side of the bed empty. I pout as I retrieve my hand, sighing when I roll back into a ball. It looks like Nathanael has already left, and I guess that he will be gone for the day, like he always is. Groaning, I pull my heavy-feeling body into a sitting position. I press my lips together, silencing a moan as my ass stings pleasurably. I can’t remember how many times I passed out from cumming, but as I feel totally drained, I guess that I did cum a lot. Chuckling to

NathanaelI glare at the small projected figure of a high priest made out of light. “Everything has been arranged for the arrival of you and your beloved, Your Majesty. We can’t wait to meet him and start with the preparations for the ceremony.” Yeah. Sure. “We have prepared the quarters of His Royal Highness as per your instruction. Please let me know if he has any other wish.” I nod, only listening to him half heartedly. The last days have been endless. And I would prefer to spend my time with Theodore instead of managing all those things for my realm. Only those five single nights that Theodore spent unconscious after I had marked him felt longer than the nearly 900 years I have lived until now. Pushing out a deep breath, I shift in my seat as I can feel Theodore play with his mark. “That’s perfect, Elder Harald. Thank you,” I lie, acting as if I was listening to him while I blend his voice out, throwing my head back while closing my eyes.Unfortunately, right when it star

Nathanael I glare at her, but she makes her eyes jump back and forth between the chairs, making me comply with a groan. Her hands are wrapped around the plastic cup, the ice cubes clinking against each other because of the nervous shaking of her leg. Tilting my head, I try to be patient for a few seconds before I huff out, “So?” “As soon as I found out what he could be, I even went to check through old archives, to be sure I wasn't hallucinating,” she whispers, her eyes directed at her hands, making her statement look like a confession. “I went as far as I could by asking a few people that I know had certain encounters before.” I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. “

Nathanael I have barely entered the foyer and am about to close the door as a rustle catches my attention. Lifting my gaze, I get enveloped by his scent even before my eyes land on Theodore, who is running towards me. My heart flips in my chest, reawakening itself as I see my beloved’s wide smile. “Here you are,” he welcomes me. “Took you long enough.” I laugh, letting my bags fall to have him hurry into my bear hug. Kissing the side of his head, I talk into his hair. “Sorry, I had to wrap up a few things, so we could get going soon.” Grabbing his chin, I get him to look at me. “Have you been missing me?”&

Theodore “Good?” I nod repeatedly without taking a break from munching. “Tastes heavenly.” My heart squeezes when he chuckles, and he pushes the bowl of chips closer to me. “Are you really okay with me eating that?” He leans back in his seat, a mischievous glint flashing in his eyes. What did I do now? “Why shouldn’t I be?” He grins, tilting his head. “Do you think I only want you for your blood?” “Of course not.” Shaking my head, I lower my gaze onto my plate. “Good,” he hums, and in the few split seconds it takes me to look back up at him, he has already moved, appearing in the chair next to me. His fingers reach out, playing with my hair, and I gulp. “Also, don’t let them improve your blood. It is already too addictive as it is.” “You really need to stop moving this fast. My heart can’t take it,” I chuckle, and he hums, resting his head on his fist. “No,” he states, mocking me. “No?” I furrow my brows, causing him to laugh. “You are such a meanie.” Leaning forward, he

Theodore I purse my lips, processing his words. “Kevin?” I ask again, a hot sensation pulsing through my veins. “Yeah.” Nathanael smirks. “Would he talk to me too?” Strangely, panic surges through me, taking me off guard, as it is something that I have never felt before with him. ‘No,’ Kevin growls, and I squeeze my eyelids shut to cope with his erratic movements ripping through my subconscious. It’s getting worse. Maybe I should tell him… But what if he thinks I’m mental? ‘You are not mental, silly human,’ Kevin mocks me, apparently not liking the word mental, as he emphasizes it in a derogatory manner. “He doesn’t want to,” I blurt out, and my heart flips when his amused expression falls. I suddenly feel stupid for not having asked Kevin what he thinks about all of this, but he usually just butts in to give his opinion anyway. He never cared if he was asked for it. So, now, I feel even more stupid for interpreting my rude imaginary friend as something that is real and has
