A Bastard's Allure-Chapter 57: You’re Perfect

Gabriel’s eyes flattered open, the rays of the morning sun streaming through the transparent window. He tried to move but felt something heavy pinning him down. His eyes met with her sprawled hair first, and her eyes closed tightly. She looked so beautiful when asleep.

The memories of the previous night flooded his mind, a smile lighting his face. His hand stroked her hair gently, removing the stray strands from her face. She was still naked, her perfect curves making his monster range below.

For an odd reason, having her sleeping on his chest, the morning scenary... It gave him some piece he’d never experienced before. If she was the reason for his smiles, he’d take her to bed every night, and wake up to see her beautiful face.

Elena’s eyes shot open at the same time, meeting with his golden ones. He was smiling, a rare morning scene she had to admit. He looked like a god!

"Good morning my shy bunny," he greeted, but Elena’s expression begged to differ. She frowned, making her look even more beautiful.

"I’m not shy," she retorted, blushing hard when she realized they were still naked.

"To a person who undressed me last night, I say aye." He smirked, and Elena wished she could slap the smirk off his face.

"You asked me to," she said, trying to salve herself out of the embarrassing conversation.

"Yet you chose to do it anyways." Gabriel cupped her cheeks, letting his eyes travel her length. Elena felt somehow uncomfortable especially when his gaze lingered longer on her lower body.

His eyes traveled back to meet with her eyes. She was already flushed, trying to avoid his eyes in embarrassment. He held her chin.

"Look at me," he whispered. She hesitated for a moment before her eyes landed on his. She was fighting hard not to travel South! "Never be ashamed of your own body El. You’re perfect!"

He entwined his fingers with hers, softly kissing them. He planted soft kisses up her hand, his final destination obvious to her! But she was wrong!

Gabriel whisked off the sheets, revealing both of them to the light. She appeared to glow in the sun! He continued with his ministrations, an even naughtier idea in his mind. His kisses travelled south, first resting on her belly where he’d found her ticklish. She held his hair instinctively, convulsing with each passing second.

His hands gently parted her legs, now raining kisses on her thighs. She quivered under his touches until his tongue implored somewhere forbidden. Her blood rushed to her head as she gently lifted her head to complain, but the pleasure was too much.

"Gab..." The words stuck in her throat when he increased his pace. His tongue expertly stroked her sensitive spot heightening the pleasure. At this rate, she couldn’t feel her legs anymore!

A knock on the door was what disrupted Gabriel from his actions. Elena’s breaths came out in shallow pants, a dissatisfied look on her face. But Gabriel was more angrier.

He collected his pants on the floor and slipped into them. Elena collected the sheets and wrapped them around herself, closing her legs tightly.

Gabriel walked towards the door, his face turning a shade darker when he found Vathin’s annoying face smiling at the door.

"Good morning Your Hi..."

"What couldn’t wait another hour or two?" Gabriel asked, clearly irritated.

With his hands rested on his back, Vathin calmly answered, "You told me to call you early in the morning yesterday."

"Did I?" He asked, trying to gather his thoughts.

"Yes. I released the prince as you had ordered, completely unscathed... Well. Not completely unscathed," he said, tilting his head to one side in guilt.

Elena heard an alien voice speaking with Gabriel. Curious, she slipped into a dress and made for the door.

"Good morning, Ser?" She greeted, judging from the way he was dressed. He wore a leather jacket and pants that he looked like a noble knight.

"Vathin, this is my wife Elena Thornhart. Bunny, this is Vathin. He’s the newest member in my kingsguard."

Vathin stepped closer and took Elena’s hand into his. He planted a kiss on her fingers. "Pleasure to meet you, Lady Thornhart."

He should have seen the look on Gabriel’s eyes! If looks could kill, Vathin would be long forgotten.

Elena withdrew her hand when she noticed the sudden change in Gabriel’s aura. He had made it clear last night that he was not willing to share her with anyone else. But there was something about this Vathin she couldn’t quite put her finger on.

Unlike most of the vampires, he had no pale skin. And if he was a bastard like Gabriel or Darion, he would have a pair of fangs when he smiled. His aura was quite intimidating, and there was something in his eyes whenever he looked at Gabriel. Could it be...? Oh no! But Gabriel was straight!

"Vathin and I will have to take care of something." He felt her shrink with his words. And she had every right to. He just came yesterday, and he suddenly turned into the busy freak he was.

"I’ll be back, I promise." He held her hands in his and kissed them, as if to show Vathin to whom she belonged to. She could have rolled her eyes. Someone was jealous!

Gabriel’s expression turned serious when they were out of his chambers. "You released the prince?" He asked.

"As you had instructed," Vathin said, trying to keep up with his pace.

"You should have held him a little longer. I just realized they have one of my men," he said.

"I can get him if you want. He couldn’t have gotten to his chambers by now."

Gabriel halted in his tracks to give him that disappointed look. "Do you realize we’re in a castle where I’ll be killed for sneezing if it was against the law, despite me being a prince?"

Vathin gave him a longing look, one that made Gabriel feel like he was assessing him like an open book, again! "I do."

"No, you don’t." He resumed his walk when Thoron appeared in the far end of the hallway with a book in his hand. Vathin froze in his tracks!
