C18 Freya's POV; Meeting the deadly elder

~Freya~

Pinned to the bed by Lucien, my heart sank as I wondered if it was really going to happen. We stared at each other in silence for sometime. I could feel his heart race.

Breathing heavily, he called, "Freya."

Swallowing hard, I responded, "Yes?" My voice trembled as my breaths shuddered underneath.

Without warning, he took my lips in his as his hand strengthened it's grip on mine. Sucking on my lower lip, his tongue searched for mine as his c*ck beneath me stiffened. I felt my feet go numb and my knees weak.

I should be fighting back, I shouldn't be letting this happen, but I couldn't deny the burning desire from within me. Deepening our kiss, his hand caressed my legs making their way upwards.

The heat which emanated from both of us was unwavering. I craved him with sinful desires, yet the only thing that truly existed between us was hate. I felt his hands settle on the surface of my cunt as I let out soft moans in-between our kiss.

Releasing my lips, he trailed kisses down my neck as his hand made its way to my breasts. Palming them softly, he sucked my neck hard till I felt a hickey on the side.

"Lu...Lucien," I called weakly.

Feeling his intensity lighten as his grip grew weak, I seized the opportunity shoving him away. Shuddering, I sat up taking in mouthful of air. Massaging my neck, I looked over to Lucien who seemed to be asleep.

Leaning in, I caught scent of alcohol in his breath. He was drunk? I was relieved to see he had passed out, but also very annoyed. He gave me unexplainable heat without warning and left me without anyway of soothing it.

I was at cross roads. My growing affection for Jasper and my insatiable desire for Lucien had put me in a dilemma. I shouldn't feel anything towards Lucien, yet everytime we're close, I go weak.

Moon goddess, why all this? I shouldn't feel anything for Lucien except hatred, yet I'm attracted to him in lustful ways. Why couldn't he be more like Jasper?

Shaking off the thoughts in my head, I threw my feet to the floor as I attempted getting up. Lucien's touch made me weak as always. His hands grabbed mine strongly, stopping me in my tracks. Turning to the wasted man beside me, he mumbled, "Please don't leave, stay with me."

My cheeks reddened as a blush crept to my face. Did he really mean it? Touching the diamond necklace he gifted me, a warm feeling bubbled from within me. Reminiscing on his ordeal with Raphael, mixed feelings coursed through my veins. Maybe he wasn't really bad, right? Maybe he's misunderstood as I first guessed.

Remembering our encounter back in his study, his words rang in my ears, "Of course, I'm the bastard aye? The devil's son, the heartless criminal, I deserve everything I get aye?"

Looking at the man beside me, I felt guilt wash over me. He must be going through alot. Realizing I misunderstood him from the beginning, I made my way back to bed.

Laying down, I caressed his perfect chiseled face as he slept soundly. "I promise not to leave," I whispered.

His hands wrapped my waist as he pulled me in. Wrapping my hands round him, we cuddled each other as I drifted off to sleep.

...

Waking up to the chirping of birds, I stretched my hands as I rose from bed. A warm smile played on my lips as last night's encounter replayed in my mind. Squinting my eyes open, I turned to my side to see an empty bed.

Where was he? He just left without a word? I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal. Was I wrong about him? Last night was special to me nonetheless, yet he just left without a word.

Scoffing, I made my way to the bathroom as I prepared for the day. I shouldn't have opened up to Lucien. For a second, I thought he wasn't the man-whore, the devil. I thought he was misunderstood, alas, he proved me wrong.

Sliding into the cotton green dress, I sat by the table as I ran a brush through my hair.

Knock!

"Yes."

The door swung open as Jade made her way in. "Luna," she called softly.

Placing the brush on the table, I turned towards her, "Yes?"

"Luna, elder Raphael has requested your presence in the meeting room."

Chills went down my spine hearing her words. I didn't want to meet with him. Especially not now.

"Tell him I'll be there shortly."

I planned to spend the day with Jasper. He's always there for me when I need him. He won't use and leave me like Lucien did.

"I'm afraid not, Luna. He said not to leave except you follow me. He orders it," Jade stated sternly.

Clearing my throat, I exhaled sharply as I rose from the chair. I might as well just meet him and get this over with.

"Lead the way."

Making our way out of the room, we walked through the halls in silence. I could feel my heart race with each step I took. What could he want to tell me? Or more importantly, what did he want to do to me?

Was I going to end up like Lucien?

"We're here Luna," Jade announced as she motioned me towards a door.

"Do you know what he wants?" I asked curious.

"No Luna, he just said to bring you to the meeting room," Jade responded. Kowtowing slightly, she departed swiftly leaving me alone in front of the door.

The rumors about Raphael's cruelty rang in my ears making my heart sink even more. Swallowing hard, I wanted to make a run for it. Turning to leave, a deep voice stopped me in my tracks, "Come in, Freya."

The voice came from inside the meeting room. How did he know I was outside? It's probably because of my early conversation with Jade.

Inhaling sharply, I opened the door before me. Draped in black, he accommodated the huge chair which was placed at the begining of the table.

His eyes dark and void of emotion as he starred at me. It was hard to tell what he wanted since he had no expression whatsoever.

"Freya, I've been expecting you."
