I'm sorry this chapter is a little shorter than normal, I've just been trying to figure out expressions, I hope they've shown. If they haven't I'm sorry I'll work on it for next chapter.

It's also short because I was having trouble with Skyrim, otherwise it would've been longer.

 

Start of Chapter 9

 

So I was back at home, clean after long last and around family. Well what family I had left. I suppose we'd end up leaving the place for something soon, Solomia never liked staying at home. Maybe my return might force us Queen Esmeralda's royal court. I do need an official pardon after all. But for now it was just me and Solomia alone, beside a roaring fire, we were warm and tingling. I could smell the desire emanating from Solomia. 

 

"So we have quite a lot to catch up on, don't we?" I said as I rested my head on her silky shoulder.

 

 

"I agree, and I'm very glad I waited for you to have a bath. Otherwise I might've been belching all the way through tonight." She said, it was a little insulting I suppose. But I missed that constant criticism that she gave.

 

 

"I'm clean now and ready to make up for all the lost time, how many years was it? Three hundred. You know we're going to be at this for a long time, right?" I questioned, honestly though I was worried if I could keep going. I've been out of practice for the best part of three hundred years.

 

 

She didn't reply, she just leaned into my arms. I moved my hand across her back and placed it on her thigh. She was soft and silky, completely different to her prickly personality, but I loved her exactly how she was, even if I got insulted from time to time.

 

 

After a few minutes of listening to her soft breaths, pressing against the crackling of the fire, she got up and turned around and faced me. I watched as her gaze met mine. There was something different in her look, something more fiery and desiring. Then she lunged forward over me and placed a kiss on my lips.

 

 

Then she kept on kissing me, eventually the kisses became more passionate until the point we were teasing each other's mouths with our tongues. Then I felt a tight bite on my lip, it was painful, but the pain stopped as quickly as it began.

 

 

"No more biting, sister, please. Or I'll bite you in worse places later." I threatened bearing my own fangs.

 

 

"Fine, I thought you still enjoyed that though." She stated as she fell back into my arms again.

 

 

"I do still enjoy it, just not on my lips, you can do it on the other lips or anywhere else. Anyway I think we should start making up for lost time." I said as I stood up bringing Solomia up with me. Her legs were quivering as were mine, Though we couldn't expunge all our energy in a few minutes.

 

 

I think here's a good start, something just to tantalise her. She moaned and groaned as she held me tight almost leaving marks where her hands were.

 

 

Then with a strange amount of courage she got up and threw herself on top of me. We were both splayed across the carpet in front of the fire. We were heated and tingling, just like some other parts of us that yearned to be caressed.

 

 

"For once, can you let me take the lead tonight?" She asked as she licked her lips and spiralled her tongue around her fangs, teasing me constantly.

 

 

"I could, but whenever you say that you want to take the lead, I end up having to take it from you." I explained with a smirk on my face.

 

 

 

A few hours later...

 

"Damn are you tired out already?" I asked as I saw Solomia's movements slow down.

 

 

"I think you are, I think it's your turn on the bottom now." I whispered as I turned us around and placed her on her back. 

 

 

"I'm happy to put up with you for hundreds more years, if we can spend time like this again." She whimpered as I began to tease her again.

 

 

"I'll gladly let you put up with me."

 

 

 

 

The next morning...

 

 

I knew at some point I'd have to see my mother. We were never going to get along if I couldn't explain myself to her, but getting her to listen to me would likely be a problem. She didn't like me as soon as I was born and now that I've killed her husband I don't think she'll ever talk to me willingly. Maybe in a few hundred years, but us vampires are emotional creatures and we don't forget easily either.

 

Well I'm glad to see they haven't got rid of the one painting I actually liked.

 

 

 

A shame a painting wouldn't help me deal with my mother, though with how she despised me I doubt anything would help me, I think even Solomia wouldn't be willing to help me. I had to do it alone, for my dignity's sake. There she was, sitting there reading, she always enjoyed that.

 

 

"What do you want?" She scoffed at me with a desperate tone of anger.

 

 

"What do you think I want? I've come to apologise, you deserve that much from me. But I deserve an explanation too." I explained as I approached her seat.

 

 

"I don't want your apology. If you wanted to apologise you shouldn't have killed my husband, or been born. One of you was enough." She said her words cutting deeper than any wounds I'd sustained. She was my mother how could she say something like that to me, her own flesh and blood?

 

 

"Fine you won't have my apology, can I have your explanation?" I asked withholding what tears I could.

 

 

"Fine do you want the explanation?" She asked, spite growing in clarity in her voice.

 

 

"I'd love one." I said. I was glad she was finally agreeing to something I suggested, I don't know whether I'd enjoy the explanation though.

 

 

"Fine. I hate you because you have torn us apart. You killed my husband, your own father. you almost killed me when you were brought to this world. I hate you because you have hurt everyone." Her hate made no more sense than before. I couldn't control any of that, well maybe my father yes, but how have I torn anyone apart. And I haven't hurt everyone.

 

 

I couldn't listen to this any longer. I turned around and stormed out towards my room. Maybe she'll be the next name off my list, she certainly deserved it for the suffering she had put me through. But I couldn't kill her, I couldn't do that to Solomia. I just have to hope someone at Queen Esmeralda's court hates her as much as I do.

 

End of Chapter 9
