Draco

We were about to head to the castle after spending hours setting up Falcon’s home lab with Vigo. I’d also installed an intense security system with a radar detector. We could get out of the house within a few seconds should an attack happen. I also had an idea that I ran past Vigo. He agreed and devised up a way to secure the house even further. He wasn’t very pleased with me, but he couldn’t give me too much shit because he wasn’t sure it was me who had broken the beakers. He went over lumpy train tracks, shaking the contents in the back of the van. While I was here at the castle, I was going to look into revamping the security here. We needed this to be our fortress and base for the time being.

“Charlotte, are you well, my love?” I asked as her face paled. She’d been looking sour for days, and I couldn’t figure out what was going on with her. I thought it was the buildup to the attack and its results, but it was more than that.

“I’m pregnant,” she blurted out. I stared at her in wonder as if she didn’t just change everything with two words. I swallowed hard, unable to say a word for many moments. It was normal for it to take a century to have a son. This surprise pregnancy felt off. It scared me that we were going to have the girl from the prophecy. I wasn’t prepared for this. I wasn’t prepared to be anything more than to be a right hand man.

“Tell me, Charlotte. Do you know if we are to have the girl?” My words came out slowly because, in truth, I wasn’t sure I wanted to know.

“First, it will be me who has this baby,” she reminded me with her lips pouting. I pulled her onto my lap. “And second, I don’t know.” She ran her hands through my hair, messing with it as always. “Are you worried, Draco?”

“I am. I was never meant to be a leader. A warrior, yes; a ruler, not at all. I may be labeled a doctor, but I’m not. I’ve always been the mechanical man. Falcon became the mad scientist. I did his bidding and picked up a few things along the way. I don’t want to rule anyone but you in the bedroom.”

“That I can see, but it doesn’t change the fact that the possibility of ruling could fall onto you. And I love when you rule me in bed,” she said with a smirk.

“You do know something?” I argued.

“No, my love. I do not. I just know that things will be changing for all of us because of this war. You are a leader of vampires in battle. I hope that Falcon is the one who will remain ruler, but I have to consider that because I’m pregnant there is some reason for it.”

“There have been mates to become pregnant immediately, but I’d never thought it would be us. Truly, Charlotte, I’m jumping up and down inside. We’re going to have a child made from us. To me, that’s a part of being one with your mate. I’ve been told that the sooner a male is born, the deeper the mates are connected.” It was a possibility that it was because we were so connected.

“Wow, that’s interesting. I wonder if there’s any proof to it,” she said.

I wrapped my arms around her a bit tighter, pulling her close. “I know there is. I couldn’t fathom living an hour without you.”

“Make love to me, Draco,” she begged, her honey-colored eyes looking longingly up at me.

“We don’t have time,” I argued. In truth, I wanted her on any and every surface I saw.

“We have two minutes, show me how strong this bed is,” she demanded, tossing off her blouse and losing her jeans in a flash. I followed after her and proceeded to show her how well built the bed was. Her body was thin yet supple, and those eyes made my cock throb with need. They were bright and beautiful.

She climbed to the center of the bed, giving me a sexy stare, eyes locked on mine. I growled and grabbed her foot, pulling her down toward me. With a menacing smile, I bit her calf softly, working my way up to her sweet center. She moaned as I pressed my tongue into her. Her hands dove into my scalp, tugging on my hair, riling me up. I felt her body tighten as her hands pushed my face into her pussy. A loud cry reverberated around the room as her orgasm coated my tongue. Her taste was so inviting, but we were short on time. I rose up, looking at my mate with the lustful desire only she could create. “Scream for me,” I demanded as I pushed my cock deep within her, claiming her body over and over again. She did so perfectly. My name came from her lips as her walls continued to contract around me. I roared as my orgasm ripped from the base of my spine and drenched her depth, marking my territory. Our bodies were covered in sweat and our combined scent only made me want more. I had to remember that we’d have more time later. With reluctance, we cleaned up and got dressed.

“I’m going to take you against the castle wall while everyone is training. Charlotte, I want you hard and fast, then soft and slow. I want it all.”

“Later, Draco.” She patted my chest. “I have much more planned for you, my lover,” she teased, sauntering away knowing that we had to get going. I had more for her, too.
