Chapter 3 I thought vampires were supposed to be hot.

Getting out of bed, I stretched the sleep off of me. Noticing that there were now clothes in the once empty closet, I walked over and picked out something to wear, and began taking a bath.

I still can't believe that what I've always read about in books is true. If vampires are real, then what else is out there?.

Feeling the water getting cold, I quickly finished up and got dressed in the baby blue dress I had picked out. Looking at myself in the mirror while brushing my hair, I can't help but think about my mother. I look just like her.

"Skai," a voice calls from the door. I quickly place the hairbrush down and walk over to the door, opening it. "the king wants to see you, follow me" this maid was nicer

I did as she said. This place is so huge I could get lost.

"We're here," she says after what felt like hours of walking. She walks off and I open the door, stepping inside. "Take a seat" I did as the king ordered, a King? I still can't believe that.

Not just any king, a vampire one, the little voice in my head says. "How are you feeling?" he asks in his regular voice, which I find very attractive. "Sure you would"

"I'm still trying to process everything, but other than that, I'm fine. "

"great you start working today," shit no-no "there's something I need to tell you but you have to promise you won't get mad at me and punish me or beat me"

He pulls his chair forward, resting his hand on his desk. "Just tell me"

"Okay, so I lied about knowing how to cook. I'm sorry for lying, but I'm a fast learner. I'm sure I could learn in.,"

"That's fine. I never needed a new cook, anyway." We stayed in silence for a minute,

"I'm not your dad," he spat in a disgusted tone.

"What do you mean?" I mean, I never expected to live here for free

"it's not that, I need you to know that I would never abuse you" feeling embarrassed I looked away from him, I keep thinking every guy is the same as him that they'll abuse me I've never felt safe around any man since the abuse started with dad, I mean if my father could do the things he did to me what would other men do?.

"Don't cry sweat baby" he says reaching over to wipe my tears, breaking me from my thoughts. I didn't even realize that I was crying.

"Can I go now?"

"Sure, breakfast should be ready,"

"Okay, thank you," I say, leaving his office

After what felt like years, I finally found the dining room. Food was already on the dining table and so I began eating. Feeling full not long after, I stopped.

"hey human girl," the maid from earlier says, making me jump

"I didn't mean to frighten you, you're so beautiful, that's what I wanted to say," I smile shyly "thanks and so are you, what's your name?"

"it's Kimberly but you could just call me Kim, anyway I gotta get back to work before the King catches me talking to you."

she turns on her heel to leave but I stopped her,

. "Should you not talk to me or something?" I ask, feeling offended. "Listen, he Shouldn't even have you here. Humans should only be food to us. "

She says before living.

I got up from the table and made my way to Tylor's office. I knocked on the door. " Come in"?

" I don't want to be here anymore,"

" why?"

" I'm only food to y'all. I shouldn't be here, also you told Kimberly not to talk to me,"

I left badly. The maid seemed nice living with my dad. I wasn't allowed to have friends.

"it's not like that sweet baby,"

"don't call me sweet baby,"

"but you are,"

"Fine, you're an ugly ass vampire. I thought vampires were supposed to be hot. "

A smirk appeared on his face and he got up from his seat and made his way over to me. I stepped back until my back hit something hard. Oh shit, the wall.

He's now standing in front of me and I can feel myself getting nervous. I started playing with my fingers,

He uses his fingers to lift my face up, his touch sending an unknown sensation in my body

My breathing starts to get hard he now has his hands on my face his hazel eyes locking with mine my knees weak, he smiles showing his pearly whites then licking his soft pink lips, I bit my bottom lip hard as he did that trying to fight the urge that I was feeling to kiss his plumped lips, my face heats when I realized that I've never had the urge to kiss someone before.

He leaned in more, his scent so intoxicating

The king lifts my chin up, his lips so close to mine. Is this going to be my first kiss?. I lick my lips, making sure they weren't dry before closing my eyes, awaiting the kiss.

the kiss never came and so I open back my eyes to see him smirking, a hint of amusement in his eyes

"If I wasn't hot, you wouldn't be in this state right now, sweet baby," he says before kissing me on my cheeks and making his way over back to his desk

I stood there in shock as I regain myself, my breathing finally starting to go back to normal

"he's even hotter up close," I say to myself

"I know," he says smirking

"would you stop reading my mind?,"

"I can't help it, sweet baby, I can't help it,"

I roll my eyes and exit his office. I need to figure out a way to close my mind to this handsome king so he can't read it.

" handsome, huh? "

" shut up bitch,"

" fine, sweet baby,"

The voice in my head mocks. The name isn't half bad. I kinda like it.
