Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 229 - Second Chance!

Athena's legs weakened as soon as she met his heated eyes. It was not their first time when Ethan flirted with her too openly. But right now, the circumstances were different than before. Furthermore, if he was too confident on the fact that he wasn't the biological father, what could be the conspiracy behind it? Athena wasn't an easy going woman who could be fooled by anything.

She nudged in and out her bottom lips subconsciously failing to notice that this little act tempted the man more in front of her. She gulped down nervously taking a step back unhurriedly,

" You..and your damn logic! Are you flirting with me in broad daylight?"

Ethan blinked innocently and replied with a shrug,

" It's not morning yet."

Athena "..."

She rolled her eyes back annoymously and glared at him harshly speaking,

" I have already a daughter but you have been keeping her away from me. What about her? Why didn't you let me meet with her so far?"

Ethan was a little dissapointed at the divertion of their matter. Indeed he was far more willing to use this method to shut down every topic but it seemed like he still needed to work hard to pursue this woman. Thus he glared back unhappily and assured,

" I told you that she is safe and sound. I am waiting for Esme's arrival. I don't know where did the brat go but I am sure that she would come back soon. Then I will announce in front of the whole world that she is our precious Princess. You don't want her living like a thief, do you?"

Athena shook her head immediately and seemed convinced about his plan. Considering the fact that he was taking longer time to leave her room, Athena urged departing herself from his heated body as much as possible,

" You should leave now. I don't want anymore gossips revolving us. You have already shocked the whole world after proposing me."

Ethan stared at her reddened cheeks, seemed completely unworldly about her reaction. His abysmal eyes only searched for her blemishing beauty. After a restless sigh, Ethan stepped closer hesitantly and closed the earlier distance between us.

Athena's breathing hitched instantly. She could feel the heat radiating out of his body and made her each limbs weakening like a piece of cotton. She wasn't sure whether it was only because she marked him as her or not. But with Ethan, she felt another heat which she never felt before. It was shameful to admit that even Edward's closeness wasn't so much affecting on her.

Athena stumbled back abruptly and bumped her back against the high wall. Panicking like a suffocated kitten, she squirmed trying to run away but her invisible little paws were quickly clutched by the big bad wolf. Before she could react anything, Ethan leaned beside her ears exhaling a deep long breath purposely. Shivering lightly, she forgot about running away and paid attention only his messy heartbeats. After a moment of silence, Ethan's hoarse voice echoed in her ears like a soothing music at late hours,

" If I say that I want a child from you willingly not because I got in a trouble, will you agree to me then? "

Athena froze in her awkward state unable to proceed his words for a long time. Getting her breathing hitched once again, she wanted to say something but the next moment, a pair of luscious lips crashed on her wildly. She was startled by his sudden action and decided to dodge away but her own self control was loosing to her logics.

His hot tongue digged into her mouth exploring each corner earnestly as if she was his long awaited dessert. Even Ethan forgot to remind the word self control and reservation. The moment he got to taste her unique fragrance, he started to loose control from his actions. Thus the kiss turned wild and vigorous slowly proceeding towards the next step which was too beyond to judge between right and wrong at that moment. Between their hot lingering kiss, Athena only felt her zipper going down in a creak and the next moment,her clothless body was thrown over the bed like a pillow.

She gasped trying to look up at the man but her attention was quickly diverted away when he dipped his head into her bossoms. Countless sighs with a low moans escaped through her parted lips as he tortured her nipples with his sinful mouth. She moaned fisting the damp bedsheets tightly and breathed rapidly. She called out his name nervously when he bite down one of her hard bud,

" Ethan!!!!!! "

Ethan was turned on more when he heard the low echoing of her tongue which invisibly informed him that how much she was craving for him. Ethan looked up at her groggily and asked in a hoarse voice,

" May I? "

Athena didn't know what was he asking for but she nodded anyway. The moment, she needed, the caged beast came outside finally and collided with her like a heavy rain on hot summer day.

Outside of Athena's room, Evan was already making his way towards Athena's room to give her an explanation that his brother was sincere with her feelings honestly. That day, Katherine tried to take advantage of him but he saved his brother from that witch. But his sole witness wasn't enough to prove Ethan's innocence. At first, he was his brother who would instinctively try to save his brother's reputation and the second, Ethan had been drinking for a long time after their breakup. It was impossible to prove his Innocence if Katherine insisted on telling that they had slept during those days. With all this confusions, Evan was rushing towards Athena's room and suddenly paused in front of the door when he heard some ambiguous tone.

He blinked awkwardly and quickly blushed once he assumed that what could be going on inside. Rolling his eyes back, he turned around and left while muttering under his breath,

" Brother, you seem too fast in everything! "

BACK TO THE HUT OF KING HENRY,

Esme didn't chat about anything unreasonable so far. She followed him in closely and discovered that her father had been living well in a shabby hut nearby. The environment was pretty much lively than she anticipated. The air inside hut was always filled with fragment which made her thumping heart relaxing subconsciously. A little lake ahead of the hut made the scnario more dazzling than anyone could imagine. The place was rather peaceful and quiet making one heart's to relax subconsciously.

Esme let out a long sigh in relax and sipped the hot water from her cup that had father gave her right after she reached over there. After sipping her water completely, she shifted her attention back on the man who was seated opposite her in a half broken chair. Esme decided to speak after placing the cup beside her but he spoke first sensing her questioning eyes,

" You should leave fast,Serena! "

Esme was stunned before questioning back emotionally,

" All this years, we have searched for you madly father. Don't you think that you should return with me now? Why are you hiding yourself here? If I didn't choose to risk myself, would you hide yourself forever here? "

Mr.Henry didn't seem angry at her questions. He knew that he had deserved all this harsh treatments from his child. He glanced at Esme blankly and explained with a bitter smile,

" I can't go back..In other words, I don't want to go back."

Esme gulped and asked back displeasingly,

" Why is that? You have family, friends.. why can't.."

Her explanation was interrupted when he threw back another question,

" It's the same reason why you are hiding yourself here with me.."

Esme was a little shocked before muttering out disbelievingly,

" You..how do you know? "

King Henry smiled at his daughter's foolishness. In his eyes, she was still the same little girl who was amused by his powers every time. Without bit around the bush, the old man smiled sweetly dropping his eyes on her flat stomach,

" Because I can hear their heartbeats. They have already told me everything."

Esme's eyes flushed open in shock before turning a little shy. Hanging her head down, she stammered tugging her hairs behind nervously,

" It's.. it's different father..You should really consider of coming back with me.. Regarding my matter with their father, it's different and can't be forgiven.."

King Henry sighed softly and replied back coldly,

" Same goes for me Serena. I can't be forgiven but your husband can."

Esme looked up at him unhappily,

" Father! "

Mr.Henry waved his hand magnificently indicating her to let him speak and continued,

" I have done something grieve to break your mother's trust on me, Serena. She has devoted her entire life on me but in return, I gave her a shame only which can't be mended up at any cost. Trust me, I know how it feels to live under your beloved ones suspension. Even if I go back, perhaps I will get back everything but I will never get back the immense trust of Melinda which she had on me before. So I decided to take away my pain alone and live the rest of my live with those beautiful memories of us."

He paused midway and smiled at his daughter faintly saying,

" But for you, it's different. You can choose to forgive him when he has done so much for you. He has treated you well enough to give him another chance, Serena. You can't love anyone's only goodside. A creature is made of good and bad. If you want to love someone truly, you have to love his both sides. That's what real love called! "

Esme went quite as tears started to fall down eventually. Sniffing her nose lightly, she mumbled tugging her gown,

" I just.. can't forget what he has done to me.."

King Henry smiled tapping on his daughter's shoulder lightly,

" Everyone deserves a second chance, Serena. It is you who have to decide that whether he deserves to get the chance or not. Tell me, what can you see in your heart now? The good memories or bad ones?"
