Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 106

106 Chapter 46

"So yes, I do want to bite you."

"Then do it." The fear that it would hurt suddenly disappeared.

Lucian stared at me surprised. "It might hurt." He warned.

Despite his warning, I bared my neck for him then wrapped my arms around his and tugged him closer. He hesitated for a while but then buried his face in the curve of my neck. His tongue swept slowly over my skin as if he wanted to savor the taste. I buried my fingers in his hair and tilted my head to the side giving him more access.

Lucian sucked and nipped at my neck until it ached and tingled with a strange sensation. It was almost as if I wanted to be bitten. As his teeth grazed my skin a sigh escaped my lips.

It was coming.

I held on to him and I shut my eyes tightly both in anticipation and nervousness. Lucian grabbed my hair and tilted my head back. Then he flicked his tongue over my neck one last time before his sharp teeth pierced into my skin.

I whimpered in pain, but it was quickly replaced scorching heat. A heat that inflamed the blood in my veins. A heat that made everything else fade away except the need to be taken. I became hot and needy, slowly getting lost in a raving lust. But then suddenly I remembered. I was pregnant.

I shot my eyes open. "Lucian." I gasped.

I didn't know much about pregnancies but losing blood was probably not good for the child and from the wetness dripping down my neck I was concerned.

Lucian took his time, licking the blood away from my neck before pulling back. His lips were stained with my blood but with a swipe of his tongue, they were back to normal. Quickly I placed my hand on my neck to see if I was still bleeding, but I wasn't. I let out a sigh of relief then gazed at Lucian who was studying me carefully.

"What is wrong?" I asked.

"You tasted different this time and your pulse...it's strange but it's like you have two separate heartbeats." A frown settled on his face.

Two heartbeats? It took me a moment to digest what he said.

"Lucian...about that...I came here to actually tell that...I am pregnant."

Lucian stiffened and the room went quiet. I could hear my own heart race and it felt like forever before he said, "What...did you say?"

"I said you will become a father soon," I told him a bit louder and with more confidence.

Slowly, Lucian took a few steps back and then turned away.

Oh, God! He was not happy.

Hopping down from the table I went up to him. I put my hand lightly on his shoulder. "I understand if you are not happy."

Not having a good relationship with both his real father and the one he believed to be his father, could explain his reaction.

"Happy?" He turned to me carefully and grabbed my arms. "I am not happy Hazel. I am lucky. You make me the luckiest man on earth even though I don't deserve it."

"You deserve every bit of it," I assured. "And you will be an amazing father."

His hands slid up to my face, holding it gently. "Hazel, you are a blessing in my cursed existence."

I didn't know whether to be happy or sad by his words so I just leaned into him and kissed him. It was instinctively as if he would find comfort in my kiss. I hoped so at least. Lucian kissed me back, this time holding me gently in his arms while kissing me tenderly. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

These kinds of moments made me want to never leave his arms.

Lucian spent the rest of the day by my side. To be more correctly glued to my side. He followed me everywhere, showering me with hugs, kisses, and praises. He kept telling everyone to take special care of me since I was pregnant, and he even arranged a special cook after finding out about my nausea and loss of appetite.

"You will serve my wife and only her. Make sure to especially find out what she likes and…" He kept rambling on to serve me healthy food and to serve on time or any time I feel like eating. He was even specific about telling the cook to not serve food that had a strong scent.

Later on the day, Lucian arranged for a midwife to come and educate the servants on pregnancy so that they could take better care of me. This caused the maids to swoon over Lucian.

"The King is so romantic. He takes such good care of his wife."

"He is so good looking and gentle."

"The Queen is so lucky. He even crowned her on his own coronation ceremony."

"Oh, I wish to find a man like that."

I stood outside the room where the maids received their lecture about pregnancy and listened to their chattering. They could not stop themselves from praising Lucian and squealing over him.

"Should I seduce him?" One maid whispered to the other.

At this Oliver scoffed and Callum's lips curved into a smirk.

"Shall I teach her a lesson?" Oliver whispered.

If I was the old me I would have waved it away but after getting myself a bit educated I learned that it could be good to sometimes let people know their place. "Bring her to my chamber," I ordered. Oliver nodded and went inside.

I turned my heels to go back to my room but all of a sudden the floor under my feet swayed. My hands instinctively searched for something to grab on to but I only grasped thin air and almost fell before I felt strong arms carrying me up.

"Excuse my behavior. I'll just take you back to your room." Callum spoke.

"Callum put me down I can walk on my own." I protested.

"His Majesty will not spare my life if I let you fall."

"You are my guard now. No one will hurt you without my permission." I told him.

At that, he just smiled.

Once we arrived at my chamber he put me gently on the bed. "Do you want me to call the midwife?"

I shook my head. "I am fine now."

Shortly after Oliver came with the maid. He held her by the arm and walked her inside. When they were close enough he put one hand on her shoulder and pushed her down on her knees.

I knew this maid. Jessica. The one who made my life into a living hell while working in the kitchen. Now she dared to speak that way.
