Steven POV:

I got into my room and fell flat on my bed. Erica, Erica, Erica.

Was what enveloped my mind.
She doesn't like me the same way I like her. It does hurt, it really does hurt.

My heart definetly squeezes with hurt and regrets.

Maybe if I was nicer back then she would like me now or have any sought of feelings for me just anything would be okay.

I crave for her affection, her touch,  her sympathy just any feeling she has for me.

I rolled on my bed facing up looking at the ceiling. What can I do?

What should I do to kill this boredom?
Feeling bored is worse than falling ill.

Oh yes, I've got state affairs to attend to. I jumped off my bed heading to my study room.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Then came a knock on the room study door.

"Come in." I immediately replied hoping it would be my woman.

The door handle was carefully whined down as it opened and stepped in another maiden. The smile on my face I never knew I had fell off my face and then settled a frown.

"What?" I questioned her.

"Ma'am Lucy wants you to come have dinner with her and the young princess."

"No need for formalities, you may go." I ordered.

Women seeks for my attention but Erica she doesn't. It kills me dead.

I stood up and quickly arranged the files and left the study room heading for the dinning room in hopes to see my angle again since the day we arrived.

I got to the dinning room and my sister quickly called my name.

"Steven." 
"Finally you're here."

"Now you've got guts to call me by my name, huh?" I asked with a funny grin taking my sit.

"I expect my grandson to greet me too, you know?"

"My apologies granny." I apologised pecking her right cheek since she was sited beside me.

"This is new. Since when did you become this gentle?" Asked my sister with an amused eye browns.

This little girl is something else. I wondered with a smile.

"My dear Erica is doing her magic." Grandmother answered rolling her index finger in the air and landed it on me.

It got me chuckling. "You two should stop with the teas..." I got cut off immediately Erica stepped in wearing her maiden uniform.

Does long legs I love seeing. She's looking sweet. No makeups on but she's definitely looking pretty.

Such a pretty woman.

"Come on Steven stop ogling on her like that." Grandmother blurted out as I quickly snapped my head towards her to see her wiggling her eye brows at me.

I immediately cleared my throat facing Erica who only rolled her eyes. A very difficult woman to understand.

She walked up to the dinning room and placed the chilled strawberry drink. She turned around to leave...

"Erica." I called out.

She immediately turned around. "Yes Sire." She answered.

Damn I love the way she pronounces Sire from does lips of hers.
Does lips are going to be mine.

"Come eat with us."

"What!" She exclaimed her eyes bulging out being surprised.

"There's nothing to be perplexed about come eat with us." I told her once again.

"It isn't proper Your Majesty." She answered bowing down.

This woman is wonderous. She still forgets to curtsy. I just stared at her smirking.

"Did grandmother object?" 

"No she didn't."

"What of Emma?"

"She didn't."

"So come sit and eat." Now it was more of my will not a request.

She stared at grandmother and Emma as they both nodded their head with approval and a warm smile.

"Okay" She finally subjected to my will and took a sit by my left but beside me.

She served herself staring at granny, Emma and I.

"Relax you're part of the family," said granny as a smile came to her face.

"Thanks." She appreciated as a smile crawled up to her face.

I could see a tints of happiness on that smile of hers and that caused me to feel happy.

If it's family that will make her really happy then a family I'll give her.

🌼🌼🌼🌼

I got off my bed very early in the morning with a big smile.

What's making me smile?

If it isn't Erica then no one else.

After taking my bath and brushing my teeth, I got dressed and went in search of my darling.

I want to take her for outing. I went straight to the kitchen but she wasn't there. I went to her room and knocked on the expecting to hear response but non came , so I opened the door but no living soul was in room.

"That's old," I said to myself.

Then I'll go search for her in my garden. On my way there I saw Sonia the kitchen head maiden.

"Sonia." I called out.

She swiftly turned around and answered. "Yes Sire."

"Where's Erica?"

"In the royal garden with King Harry." She answered carefreely.

I stopped the urge to shout, What? My eyes widened in shocked. What is Harry doing here? What is he doing with Erica? He never told me about his arrival in my kingdom.

"Sire." Sonia called bringing me out from my perplexed mood.

"You may go." I told her heading towards the garden filled with anger.

Once I got there, I saw Harry's hands on my woman's shoulder. I became more annoyed because Erica was relaxed when he placed his hands on her.

He brought his face closely to hers as their lips were just 2 inches apart. He was going to kiss my woman. He was going to fucking kiss my woman.

Fuck this! Fuck you Harry, fuck you!

I immediately strode towards them I dragged Erica away from him holding her left arm in anger.

"Steven." She mumbled in shock.

"Harry you never told me about your arrival to my kingdom in my castle?" I told him in a hoarse voice. it was more of a question than a statement.

"Come on Steven. Ain't we friends. I don't need to aware you about my arrival." He spoke casually.

His casual tone only infuriated me.

"State your business." I demanded.

"It seems you aren't pleased with my presence." He mumbled. "Nika planning against another kingdom and..."

"Was Eternal Kingdom mentioned?" I cut in.

"Not exactly but..."

"With that you may leave." I told him.

"I want to take Erica with me. I want to make her mine." He spilled as I glared.

"Never claim what's mine yours Harry. You know that." I warned with death tone.

Then he horselaughed. That was insulting.

"This was once the woman you maltreated, Insulted and enslaved." He replied.

"Say no more."

"You treated Erica like rubbish. And I'm very sure a king like you won't want to keep that rubbish."

"Shut up." I warned glaring daggers towards him.

"For you to know. You took her family away from her, her people she tried so hard to protect you took all that away from her. Erica hates you. She'll never forgive you."

"Harry one more word I'll kill you." I warned deadly loosing my sanity. My eyes turning blood red.

If he doesn't stop talking he'll open Erica's wounds I've tried covering.

"Erica choose wisely. Would you come with me or stay with a murderer." He spoke brutally.

Deep down I knew Erica would go to stay by his side. I was infuriated. I was scared. How dare him. I felt guilty. That guilt I've tried to cover all surfaced in and Harry was responsible for it.

My eyes rolled to the back as I quickly attacked him pushing and punching him to the floor.

Fuck you Harry. Fuck you fucking shit. I punched his face very hard. He tried to cover his face from my punch but I didn't let him.

"Steven stop." Erica finally spoke up trying to stop me from beating up Harry but I didn't give a damn.

Harry gathered his strength and pushed me off, making Erica hit the floor..

Erica falling to the ground infuriated me the more.

"Erica I'm soo sorr..." he tried apologising but I attacked him with my speed holding him on his collar.

"Stay away from my human." I warned hitting him to the floor.

Immediately grandmother, Emily and Erica close friends rushed out to stop us. But I kept punching and kicking Harry.

He'll pay for saying the truth. He'll pay. I was more than infuriated.

"Steven stop this nonsense." Grandmother yelled.

I held Harry firmly and pushed him as he stubbled cleaning the blood that flowed through his nose.

I walked up to Erica and immediately held her by the wrist. She stared at me in fear stepping backwards.

The anger in me calmed down and guilt settled in seeing how the woman I have feelings for is horrified by me.

Anger surfaced in knowing she was just with Harry some minutes ago. I dragged her into my castle heading towards my room.

"Steven let me go." She whined. Trying to get herself free from my hold.

I swiftly opened my room door dragging her in with me. I slammed the door close with my leg and pinned her to the door staring at her with full annoyance.

"I should let you go so that you could go back to Harry?"

"What's yuh problem?" She questioned also being annoyed.

"Erica you let him touch you." I stated the obvious.

"And so what."

Her reply switched me off. What does she mean by such shit?

"Erica." I called out shocked and infuriated. "What the hell?"

"I hate vampire but I'll choose him over you." She blurted out.

Her replied made my heart break into million pieces.

"Don't say that." I told her shaking my head in disappointment facing down.

"He treated me right. He was nice to me but you..."

"Erica say no more." I told her with a broken voice.

"So what's there if he touches me."

I couldn't believe that my Erica was saying all this.

"I prefer him over..."

"Erica say no more." I shouted slamming the door with my fist creating a hole on it.

She stared at me with wide eyes not uttering a word.

"So if I haven't caught you both together you would probably let him kiss you, huh." I questioned with sniggering smile knowing what her reply would be.

But she said no word.

"Would you let him." I yelled at her for the last time.

"Yes." She also shouted at me.

"You're such stubborn woman and you're lying Rica. You won't let him." I told her and crashed my lips on hers.

I kissed her possessively and wrapped my left arm around her slender waist and the other hand holding the back of her neck.

She was opposing my kiss trying to push me away and sealing her mouth close not letting me kiss her properly.

I sucked on her lips not letting her off the hook.

Fuck Harry, Erica you're all mine. Your lips are mine and no other man shall taste what's mine. Damn her lips are soo fucking sweet.

After some moments of struggle she finally gathered all energy and pushed me backwards and landed a slap on my face.

As I stared at her in wonder. Her face was all red and her lips swollen due to my sucking.

I smirked in amusement. She was trying so hard not blush.

She stares at me not knowing what to say and walked off mumbling. "Steven screw you. Screw you Steven. Screw you."

I smirked in delight. She liked it. I liked it. Why?

Because I stole her 1st kiss. I was the first ass to steal such.

You can't run away Rica. You're all mine.

Fuck it. I'll kiss you again and again.
