May Death Do Us Part

73 Chapter 73 : I’ll be your blood bank

Ella clamped her legs together and released a small yelp. “What do you mean kiss me there?!” Ella was mortified, why would anyone want to put their mouth on someone else’s privates? She’d never heard of such a thing before.

Adam arched his eyebrow and smiled in amusement at the beautiful woman on his lap, “don’t tell me Nathaniel has never done that before?”

Her face flashed bright red as she released Adam’s shoulders and placed her hands between her legs that were firmly clamped together. “Of course not!” She yelled, “why would he do that?!”

Adam studied the woman’s blushing face and chuckled tauntingly. Oh this was very amusing, so even though Ella had slept with Nathaniel before, penetration was the only thing they had done? What, was that silver haired bastard a barbarian? The information made Adam a little happy, he was elated that there were things about coitus he could still explore with Ella, gosh he couldn’t wait.

The elven prince firmed his grip on Ella’s waist, slid one arm under her legs and gently lifted her off his lap to lay her down on the ground. To the redhead’s surprise, she didn’t land on the cold hard forest floor, she instead landed on a soft patch of grass that seemed to have sprouted out of the ground like magic.

Adam positioned himself on top of her, his legs entangled with hers and his elbows elevating his upper body slightly so he could look down at her face. “Ella..” he groaned softly, “you may have slept with a man, but it’s clear you’ve never had a man make love to you.”

“M- make love?”

“Intimacy is so much more than senseless sex Ella.” The way his eyes were boring into her blue orbs through the dangling strands of hair in his face made Ella feel something she’d never felt before, “and I’m hoping that I’ll be the one to show you the difference.”

The woman reached for his face and pushed away the strands of hair from it, after which she gently cupped his cheeks in her delicate hands. In the past, whenever she was in this position with Nathaniel, all she saw in the silver haired prince was lust, possessiveness and primal desire, and that usually earned an equal response from her, pure lust.

.....

But as she looked into Adam’s purplish brown eyes she saw no lust there, there was a sense of longing in them, protectiveness, and a lot of love. She felt so safe underneath him, so cared for, this was something incredibly different and new.

“All my lives, that’s all I’ve wanted to do,” Adam added on, his body moving gently over hers.

“To make love to me?”

The prince snorted out a quick laugh, “to love you,” he corrected her. He leaned down and planted two soft kisses on her shoulder, “but I wouldn’t mind making love to you either.”

He pulled himself up and looked down at her longingly, he looked like someone who had just found a rare treasure, “I want to spend the rest of eternity with you. Ella, Guinevere, Aria whoever the hell you’ve been and whoever the hell you will be, I want to be the one there by your side. And if fate allows it, I want you to carry my children, I want to grow old with you and if one day I ever meet my ultimate demise, I want it to be you by my side.”

Ella drew in a breath, Adam always managed to soften her heart in ways she never thought possible. If he played his cards right, she was sure she’d go to the ends of the earth with him just hanging on the words he spoke. But there was one thing that still bothered her, she gently ran her fingers through his hair, “I’d love that too Adam, I really would. It took me a long time to heal the wounds in my heart when you left me. I was so miserable without you, and that’s when I knew that-” the woman cupped his cheek, “that’s when I knew that I loved you.”

“Then let’s get married,” Adam responded almost immediately, “when we reach Ervelon, let’s officiate our union.”

Ella looked to the side and sighed, “I don’t know if that would work Adam,” she spoke lightly, “officially I’m still Nathan’s wife.” She looked back at him with sorrowful eyes, “and you and I are different, you’re an elven prince, I’m a nosferatu. Do you really think your people will accept our union? I’m sure they all know what kind of creatures the nosferatu are. I may be satisfied right now but what happens when I need to feed again?”

“Then you’ll feed on me!” Adam spoke firmly, “I don’t care what they think of you Ella, what matters is I love you, fangs and all. You ever get hungry then by all means sink your fangs into my flesh and drink to your heart’s content.”

The response sent shivers down her spine. Was this man really willing to be a walking food basket for Ella for the rest of his life? It was a disturbing thought but it really touched her heart.

Adam leaned in and kissed her neck lightly, “I’ll be your blood bank if I have to, I’ll be anything you like Ella as long as you stay by my side.” Adam slid his body up and down against Ella before pushing himself up again, “and about you being Nathaniel’s wife,” he looked into her eyes and firmly uttered the words, “fuck him, you’re going to be MY wife, you got that?”

Ella nodded, her chest heaving up and down slowly against Adam’s. The elven prince trailed his eyes down to her lips and he bit his lower lip longingly. The redhead felt the same way, she wanted to kiss him, so so much.

She cupped his cheeks and gently started pulling him in, closing her eyes in the process. Adam closed his eyes too, his heart beating wildly in his chest. When his lips brushed against hers, someone above them cleared their throat loudly.

“I’m so sorry your grace, am I interrupting something?”

Adam sighed and looked up at Ivan who was standing over them with two plates in his hand. “Of course not Ivan, we’re just laying here in each other’s arms for absolutely no reason at all.”

“Excellent!” Ivan exclaimed and dropped to the ground to sit next to Ella and Adam. He put the plates of food down and slid them towards the duo who were now sitting up.

“I brought you some food.” Ivan looked at Ella and nervously scratched the back of his head, “you can eat this can’t you?”

Adam grabbed one plate and stirred the hot stew, “of course she can, she has a stomach doesn’t she?”

“Sorry, I thought that maybe-”

“You thought that maybe what?” Adam interrupted the man, his eyes narrowed in anticipation as if daring Ivan to finish his statement.

Ivan cleared his throat and leaned back, “never mind.”

Adam took a spoonful of food and placed it near Ella’s mouth, “you should eat.”

The red head took the plate and spoon from him and fed herself, “you should focus on eating yourself,” she replied, “you should regain your strength.”

Adam nodded and took his own plate and started eating. Ivan cleared his throat and sat up straight before speaking. “We have to continue moving, we’ve already lost three days and Nathaniel might be on our tail. We need to reach Ervelon as quick as possible, we have allies there and can fend off whatever he throws at us.”

“I feel much better,” Adam responded, “we will forge on at dawn.”

“And what about Ella?”

“What about Ella?” Adam questioned Ivan

“Well..” Ivan pursed his lips as he contemplated how he was going to say, ‘we’re afraid she may lose control and suck us all dry before we reach Ervelon’ without sounding rude. “We were just wondering if you’re still intent on taking her to Ervelon with us given the new developments.”

Ella was about to speak when Adam stopped her and looked at Ivan, “when I left Gavaria my aim was was to retrieve Ella, and I remember telling you all that you didn’t have to come with me.”

“I know that your grace,” Ivan responded calmly, “but with all due respect, Ella has undergone some changes, and the elves may not be as understanding as to why you cling to her after she-”

“Ervelon was never part of my plan,” Adam responded, “Ella was, you all can go to the elven kingdom without us. I will change course and take Ella to the snowlands.”

“But your grace, you’re the crowned prince Ervelon has been waiting for for over a hundred years,” Ivan explained “you taking the throne and reclaiming our land is more important than-”

“Ella is my priority right now,” Adam responded firmly, “this ‘chosen one’ nonsense is new to me, so it’s either you all proceed to Ervelon without me, or we take Ella with us. I’m not leaving her behind, never again.”

Ivan sighed in defeat, “very well, I’ll inform the others.” The man stood up and dusted himself, “we have already prepared your tent and furs, we should all rest enough before dawn.”

When Ivan left Ella put her plate down and sighed, “Adam, I think maybe you should-”

“This is non negotiable Ella,” he interrupted her, “I’m not leaving you behind. We’re going to Ervelon together and there after we’ll find a way to reach out to the nosferatu in the snowlands. Being separated from you again is not something I’m going to let happen so forget it.”
