Vampire King’s Little Killer

Jealous: feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages.

“I’m still not sure about sending him off with Vesper. Remind me why am I doing this again?” Tessa asked me for the third or maybe fourth time already. I know that I should be bored by now. She had told me that she did not expect sudden care for other humans or vampires. Tessa confessed that it came so suddenly that she didn’t think it was in her to give a damn in the first place.

“Tessa, you know your half-brother is not going to be safe going back to his place.”

“Ugh, I shouldn’t even care about these things. This is me giving a damn. I should work more. I think this is what free time does to my brain and I don’t think it’s pretty.”

I was not expecting her to be back working, she still needs to control her urges. I did not need my little killer on steroids. With her new urges for human blood, I need eyes on her all-time making sure she behaved accordingly. Pissing off our human liaison and triggering hunters were not in my future plan. Not that we couldn’t take them all, but we still need humans to survive.

“As much I don’t want to see you bored, but you know that you still need to adjust. For now, I need you to stop working. It’ll only be for a month or two, I believe you’d be able to control your urges sooner.”

Needing to feel her in my arms, my hands circled her waist and I smiled when she pressed herself flat to my body.

“Really? That long? What am I supposed to do with my time?”

I kissed her hair when she laid her head to the crook of my neck and her eyes closed as if she was cherishing our intimate moment. I was glad that Tessa had paused on questioning herself because I wanted her to live in the moment. And having her in my arms was that perfect moment.

“Tessa, a month or two will fly by like a blip when we have forever between us.”

“Wow, are you sure you never work at Hallmark?”

“No, I don’t need to work for money remember? We own establishments and do investments. You might want to think about what you’re going to do with your money since it’ll last for more than a couple of decades. I’d suggest properties as a starter.”

“I never planned stuff, I always thought I’d die young.” She shrugged and I just had to kiss her lips and shut her up. I couldn’t even think about her being dead.

“There will be no death for you when I’m alive. I need you by my side. Alive.”

“Or under you, preferably with your cock inside me.” She grinned, her hand slithering between our naked bodies and stroking my length. I groaned when noticing that it was almost dawn and we needed to rest. “We don’t have time, it’s almost dawn. Fuck, baby,”

“Mmh… I’ll be quick, we still have tomorrow right?” she winked and pushed me back to straddle me without waiting for my answer. She slipped my more than eager cock inside her tight wet pussy before she rocked her hips and took us high to ecstasy in less than an hour.

“We need to do this more, this is good exercise. I can feel my core tightening…” She babbled before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep. She lets me clean her up before I slip back under the cover and hold her from behind, resting my head on her pillows needing to be as close as I could. I kissed the dip between her shoulder blades before closing my eyes and ending our day in bliss.

When I woke up the next day, Tessa was gone. She was parked in her drawing room, finishing off on her grim drawings of one of her victims. It was one of the projects that she was able to do since hunting and killing was strictly monitored, for the moment.

It was an hour later when Helena came up to me as I went downstairs to talk to Aldrich. She cornered me in the hallway, pushing me back to her room before I see it coming. She planted a kiss before I realized what she was trying to do.

“Helena, what are you doing?” I pushed her back though she was reluctant to let me go.

“I love you, you bastard. I thought you loved me. I was supposed to be your next queen. I fucking waited for you!”

“No.” I pushed her away until she stumbled on her dresser with a loud crack. Yeah, I was not regretting doing so. She’s a vampire and she’ll heal. My hand reached the door knob, opening the door with annoyance leaving her behind.

“Nero?” Tessa almost bumped into me. It took me a second to calm down and smiled only to have Helena coming out of her room with rage and deviousness but then quickly changed to the blushing innocence of a virgin bride. It would make me shake my head if Tessa didn’t raise her perfect eyebrow at me. She looked jealous and angry when she saw that I was coming out of a bedroom with Helena behind me.

“My queen. I’m… I’m so sorry.” Helena scurried away leaving me with a smirk on her face the moment Tessa was not looking. Her look was silently telling me that she was more than happy to stir trouble between us.

“That’s her right?”

“Helena, yeah, so you’ve heard?” I know it would be only time before Tessa knows about Helena. Since I lost Irina, Helena and I had been intimate several times. Well, more than several and I ended things when I found that she was the jealous kind. Then, it wasn’t long until I realized that I was hooked on Tessa.

“Yep, Layla doesn’t like her and Vesper warned me.” She explained while her eyes were trying to find the truth in my words. Well, luckily I had nothing to hide and she knows it when she gave me her smirk.

“Do you want me to mess with her?”

“Huh?”

“Do you want me to play the jealous queen and let her have her fun?”

Tessa pushed when I stayed quiet for more than a second.

“Aw… come on, let me have fun. I limit my kill for you, at least you can give me your ex. ” She pouted adorably and I couldn’t say no to her.

“Okay, just be careful. Helena can be desperate at times.” I was not looking forward to cleaning any mess that may come with her little playtime. Huh, maybe I should just let her play with her toys in the backyard.

But then I grinned when I saw that her step had a bounce as if she was too excited about the prospect of messing with Helena. I was not going to stop her, hell, I was not going to say anything to encourage anything. But I knew that I will need to inform Aldrich just in case.

It was four days later when Tessa was done playing the jealous queen whenever Helena was in her vicinity. Things escalated when Helena decided that it was her chance to get close to me. Again. She came on to me knowing that Tessa was going to see us. She rested her hand on my chest, telling me that she would give us another chance. I wanted to roll my eyes, but let her have her devious way thinking this is the kind of thing that I have to endure for my bloodthirsty queen.

Then, everything went downhill from there.

“Tell me, do you have a death wish? Do you not know that your new queen is a bloodthirsty bitch?” Tessa shoved her to the nearest wall, she demanded her answer while staring at Helena who bravely held her stare at my little killer.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Why? Am I threatening you?”

Tessa laughed until she pushed Helena flat against the wall. She held Helena by her neck and hissed. “For four days, I’ve been watching you brushing your hands on my Nero. Mine. I held back as you show your attraction to him, and now you dare to touch him like the true slut that you are.”

I didn’t see when she retrieved her knife but she was holding it and let the tip graze against Helena’s cheek. She screamed. Obviously not from the pain but from the audacity of how Tessa had damaged her face. Tessa ignored her, she was being the cold-blooded killer that she was. Only a few knew about the occupation of their queen and Helena was not one of them. When she had a taste of the real Tessa, she begged for her life.

“Do you want me to end you here?”

“N-no please…”

When her wicked smile emerged I know it was going to be Helena’s end.

“Come on, take a walk with me, Nero, I’ll be out for a while. You can send Aldrich for me to clean the mess later.”

“W-what? Nero, my king, you can’t seriously let her… what is she going to do to me?”

“She’s inviting you for a walk. Go with her.”

There was reluctance in her demeanor, but no one dared to defy their king. So she went. And she was going to be no more.

There, Tessa couldn’t say that I didn’t let her have her fun.
