Vampire King Apollyon

*********************

“This will be quick, beloved.  After this you will take a bath and then we would take a walk at the vineyards if you are able.” He released her hand, and it stayed limp on the bed.  “If you can’t—”

“Then, the balcony, it is.” 

“Yes, my love.” Luna blinked when he put his hand on her shoulder and poked her cheek with his forefinger. 

However, that didn’t stop her from staring in his direction. 

“Luna?” Apollyon gave Luna’s breast a slight squeeze, and all his muscles tensed the second he felt something wet leak out of her hardening nipples. 

As chills ran down his stiff spine… and erection, Apollyon feared that it was blood. 

Maybe, he accidentally pricked it with his sharp nails!

He didn’t lengthen his claws by mistake, didn’t he?

Apollyon immediately got his wrongful hands of her as if he was electrocuted by that skin-to-skin contact.

  Luna flinched when he demanded what it was, but when she glanced down at her breasts to check it, it turned out it was just… milk.

She leaned against him so that he could see them with his own two eyes before she quickly straightened her posture and returned to her original position.

  Well, it looked like milk when he gave it an incredulous stare, getting ready for their baby’s arrival.

She was lactating. 

Because it simply looked like it. 

Apollyon had never dealt with a pregnant woman before since he never planned on becoming a father for a long time after experiencing a terrible childhood.

Hence, it took him a minute to recognize this other change in Luna’s ripe body.

He was genuinely regretful that he couldn’t monitor every little detail when he was busy at the Autumn Palace so that he could find the cure for Luna’s curse.

A flush of adrenaline tingled through his body, but he felt a sudden coldness at the pit of his stomach.

He didn’t know how to feel when it finally sunk in his brain that he was going to see these children in two months while Luna placed her life on the line to allow these babes to live in this Realm. 

Searching for the Garden of the Four Seasons seemed like a bad dream when racing against time.

They still had two months left, so he allowed his mind to wander a bit. 

I wondered if this had a taste.’ Apollyon mused.

  He didn’t even wait for his brain to reply because the next thing he knew was that his hand was already in her mouth as he began licking the wetness on his fingers.

  For the vampire life of him who had lived in the Material Realm for millennia, Apollyon couldn’t compare it to anything that closely resembled its taste because he had been drinking blood and blood-mixed wine made by vampiric Faeries, but that’s about it.

Warmth exploded in his chest as he savored the unique taste in his tongue.

Nothing could have replaced Luna’s blood as his maximum nourishment, but this vampire milk might dangerously come in second.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t for him but the babies in her womb the moment they got out, and Luna was still alive to feed them as their mother. 

If he wasn’t raised as a vampire, then what he tasted right now was probably milk since it had a similar color to what the Faeries usually drink as a beverage.

That sad thought made Apollyon frown. 

So what?

  Those babies wouldn’t arrive in about two months. 

He could directly drink from the source, and his wife would even produce more because she was healthy now.

  If he couldn’t drink Luna’s blood, at least the breast milk would somehow make up for it, especially if they were dripping there, waiting for that tongue to lick the nipples clean.

Of course, Luna wouldn’t mind, would she? 

Apollyon peered at her to see if she would glower at him for playing with her nipple and squeezing the milk out of her breasts playfully. 

He swore he heard a slight moan from her even if all he could view was his alluring back. 

If he massaged them harder in circles, would she notice? 

Apollyon waited for a few seconds for her to react after groping her, but this time, Luna had yelped and turned her head towards him, who still hadn’t cut her hair as he promised.

“Did you cut them already, Apollyon?” She asked with an impatient glare. “Because you are abusing my breasts instead of doing that.”

His beloved’s breasts were leaking some more milk just as he wanted, and he licked the rich white liquid in his fingers.

Well, isn’t that great?” Apollyon smirked as he crossed his legs on the bed. “It might help you if I suck your breasts. Maybe, it will get lighter once the leak stops after I emptied it and consumed every drop.”

“I want  to help my wife to make the pregnancy easier.” His tone was business-like as he threw her an innocent look, but Apollyon didn’t think it worked. 

One of her eyebrows was raised in suspicion, but other than that, Luna’s countenance was unreadable, but she was trying hard to purse her lips to prevent herself from erupting into peals of laughter. 

Finally, his wife replied with a straight face, “What a gentlemanly thing to do to have a husband suck his wife’s breasts to make them lighter. Such a kind and considerate husband that deserved to be praised.” Luna sighed dramatically and clapped, “I shall allow you to do what you can do to help. It isn’t fair for a pregnant woman to only carry this heavy burden on our shoulders.”

“I agree, Your Highness. It is only right that I contributed something.” Apollyon played along as he murmured against her skin. “A good husband is always wiling to help and  be of service as well as share the burden.”

“Honestly, I feel really ugly right now, husband.” Luna admitted in a shaky voice. “I had never felt fat in the entirety of my immortal life.” 

She had mustered all the courage she had to utter these insecurities, and he couldn’t have been more than proud of her. “I don’t even know if cutting my hair would make a difference in my appearance.” She seemed to have buried her face in her hands from the muffled sound. “Why do you still want me after seeing me at my ugliest and weakest state?”

“You are beautiful just from the fact that you carry our child. I didn’t tell you this just because you are my wife or anything.” He brought himself closer and gathered her long silver hair in his hands.  “In addition to that, a new look might make you feel more powerful and confident as we celebrate the of our lives.” Next, he bent his neck to land seductive kisses on her shoulder and neck.  “I am determined to have a complete family in the next two months so you must try, beloved.”

Apollyon thrust one hand underneath her long silver hair to comb it before he lengthened his claws and slashed an inch above her slender shoulders.

“Are you ready?”

“Mm.”

That sounded noncommittal, but he would take that as a ‘yes.

Apollyon retracted his claws, rolled the entirety of the silver mane around his wrist, and put the thick strands in the drawer.

“It is done, beloved..” He gave her short silver hair an affectionate pat before sending them into glorious and wild disarray.
