MiMi entered my bedroom unannounced and she did so quietly. I was watching a little TV while sitting on my bed when the door opened. I needed to take my mind off what I saw Rain do to Ulysses. I never wanted to see that happen again. Ulysses was going to get his act together, even if that meant I had to be on his every move. MiMi walked in and up to my bed as if I invited her. I wasn’t expecting to see her because Rain made it clear that she was to stay in her own room.
“What’s up?” I asked while getting up. “Is everything okay?”
She stood right in front of me. One of her hands touched the very ends of one of my dreads. Then, without warning, she pushed me on my bed. My back hit the mattress and I stared up at her to see a smile coming to her face.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
Her hand caressed my chest, up and down before unbuttoning my shirt. She straddled my waist and slowly leaned down. She started kissing my lips seductively. She was too sexy to resist. I wrapped my left hand around her waist, and with my right hand, I placed my hand in her hair. I stroked and massaged her scalp. She stared intensely into my eyes.
She kissed my neck and licked it. I felt the tingly sensation, but I couldn’t let her have me. We had to be married first and as much as I wanted to break the rules, we had to stop. I removed my hands from her.
“What’s the matter? You don’t want me?” she questioned.
“I do want you, but not like this. . . If what you tell me is true about being my wife, then we have to wait until our wedding night to make love.”
She eased off me and nodded her head slowly, almost sadly. “When will you be ready to be married?”
I shrugged. I really didn’t know because I was still getting to know her. I wanted to take my time. I wasn’t going to make her wait forever, but I needed a little more time.
“Soon,” I said. “I mean that . . . very soon.”
“Come for a walk with me,” she stated.
“Where are we going?”
“Come on!”
She got up from the bed and reached for my hand. I got up and took her hand. MiMi smiled at me lovingly. I smiled back at her. Her beauty was intoxicating and it was tough not to give into temptation, but I remained firm.
We walked out of the bedroom and down the hall, hand in hand.
“I want to show you something,” she said.
“All right.”
She led me down the long corridor and down a set of stairs. We walked to the farthest part of the east wing in silence. The whole time, I kept wondering where we were going. On the other side of the kitchen, there was a slender door. I hadn’t noticed that door before, but there were so many doors in the palace, it would be easy to overlook this one. She opened it and it was dark inside, but I could see a spiral staircase going down. She walked down before me and I followed her reluctantly. It was so dark, but our eyes could see everything.
When we reached the bottom of the staircase, there was a set of massive stone double doors at the end of the room. Was this were the tombs were? I looked at her. She ran her hand over the side of the door that looked like a lock. It resembled the pieces I had seen around Rain’s and Essence’s necks.
“So this is where they are,” I said.
She nodded. “Yes. . .King Allemand, Queen Christione, and Princess Valerie lie behind these doors.” Tiny tears came to her eyes.
“How come you haven’t told Rain?”
“Because he already knows and he’s afraid. He found them a while ago.”
“Why would he be afraid?” I scowled.
She looked at me. “Once he and Queen Essence open this door, King Allemand and Queen Christione will rise. They are only sleeping. Purebloods can never be killed, only bound by this tomb and only awakened by their predecessor.”
I swallowed hard. “What about our mother? Will she rise too?”
Mirage shook her head sadly. “No. She was human, so her body has already turned to ashes. Rain doesn’t want to wake them without her. His memories of her are precious memories that he will forever hold on to. He’s very selfish right now. Power has gone to his head. It’s important for you all to know everything and that’s why I’m here. There will be no more secrets.”
“If Rain opens the door, what will happen once they’re awakened?”
“Once they are awakened, Ulysses will be crowned King and he will have his ancestors at his side.”
I processed what she was saying. The Purebloods would be united and Rain would no longer be King. I wondered if Rain’s own selfishness wouldn’t allow him to open up this door for that reason. He was enjoying having that power position.
“What if Rain never opens it?”
“That’s the part I’m not sure about, but the Divination was misinterpreted by the Préfet purposely. King Allemand wrote it in a way that confused them. Yes, it spoke of a Divine One and of an heir to the throne, but it also said that when it was time, King Allemand, himself, would crown the King. Rain was crowned by the Préfet, which made his days of ruling temporary. He was given the keys to guard and was given instructions. Together, he and Queen Essence will open this door. Since Ulysses is fully grown, he can now be King and the Divination will be complete.”
I let her words soak in. I wasn’t so sure that Ulysses was ready. He was still so immature.
Reading my mind, MiMi said, “With the guide of your grandfather, he will be fine.”
I hoped Rain would do what was right. I would be too afraid to go against the Divination. I thought about how the keys mysteriously disappeared from around their necks before MiMi and I came back from Antigua. Rain had no intentions of opening up this tomb. I suddenly became worried.
MiMi held my hand in hers as she said, “Don’t worry. Soon, Ulysses will know the truth and Rain will have to obey.”
Suddenly, a feeling came over me. The longer I looked into her eyes, the more aroused I grew. She was turning me on standing there. I didn’t know if it was because she was so real with me, or what, but I aggressively took her into my arms and gave her a lust-filled kiss. I moaned as she pushed her tongue inside of mine. I grabbed a fistful of her hair and groaned as I tugged on it. I practically ripped off her clothes as I pressed her up against the wall. She helped me to remove my shirt and then my pants. I stood in front of her in my boxers.
She admired the muscles in my stomach and eyed my body hungrily. She then grabbed my dreads and pulled them as I pushed her up against the wall. I tilted her head back as she arched her neck toward me. I licked my bottom lip as I felt my fangs elongate. I leaned down to kiss her neck gently, trailing her soft flesh. I felt the need to bite her. I wanted to taste her.
“Once you drink from me, we are bonded . . . soul mates,” she said, reading my thoughts.
I let my fangs penetrate her skin. I moaned as her blood slid down my throat. I felt the instant feeling of love. What I was fighting, I could no longer fight. She was mine and I was hers. I enjoyed the sensation of her. Her blood was sweet.
She moved her hands down to my boxers and placed her hands inside to feel how hard I was. She rubbed it roughly; ready to have me inside of her.
I pulled my fangs away and licked my bloodied lips, savoring the taste of her. She looked at my lips before kissing me passionately. Her tongue brushed up against mine and I sucked it. My soul was telling me this was right and she was everything she said she was. She moaned and closed her eyes and when she looked at me again, there was so much pleasure in them.
“I want you,” I said as I watched her breathe deeply.
I could feel how badly I wanted her. I let her stroke me. I wanted her to do whatever she wanted and however she wanted it. She lifted her leg to go around my waist. I lifted the other and held her up by her thighs. I was centered correctly. I placed myself inside of her with her back still resting against the wall. I thrust into her deeply.
She moaned.
I moved in and out of her as she breathed against the side of my face. With both of her hands clasping the back of my head, I moved deeper and faster until I was fucking her hard against that wall. As our bodies glided in a perfect rhythm with one another, I made her cum over and over and over again. Her moans bounced off the walls. I didn’t stop until we both had the final orgasm.
