Chapter 70. Fire and Ice

Bahm









"Your chest was in pain...because of me."





Hunnie lowers her head as if she saw this coming but chose to ignore it. It wasn't what she thought and I hoped to explain this to her before she begins to feel saddened.



Cupping her soft cheeks in my palms she raises her head. Her eyes meeting mine, already teary eyed and glossy. I forgot about the time Luisi had brought her into my chambers when I slept with Cyn. Not once, but twice she had to watch me touch another woman. How much more pain can one being take!



I felt bad by my actions. Why couldn't I just recognize her then! Why couldn't I just leave Anna's body alone! I must be better than this for my mate. For Hunnie!





"Who...who...did you...sleep with?" Her voice coming out croaked and she looks away from me and to Kris, who was ready to pull her into his arms.





"I didn't sleep with anyone!" I say, pulling Hunnie back to my side after she was almost in Kris's embrace.





"Be honest... Bahm."





"What? What! No...I didn't sleep with her!" I squinted my eyes at Kris. How could he make such a statement. He said he saw the whole thing!



"What are you doing Kris?" I mind link him.



"You should also tell her who that woman was."



"KRIS!!!" I roared in our link.





WHAT IS HE DOING! Hunnie would hate me for sure!





She's already met Anna in the dungeons and now if I tell her Anna was my former and favorite mistress, she would feel betrayed definitely!





"Who was she? You say you didn't sleep with her?" Hunnie turns and faces me fully, a sudden force of possession rising in her eyes.





"No...no I didn't."



She looks back at Kris for confirmation and the smug look on his face began pissing me off. The room stayed silent while I tried to come up of a way to say I held Anna down and assaulted her breast.



Shaking my head in my hands, I rubbed on my face distressingly until I heard Hunnie's voice again.



"Why..."



"It's not what you think Hunnie."



"Then who is she...you must've done something...if the pain came from...be...tray...al." She places her hand on her chest, rubbing lightly.





"Hurry and tell her. I'll help her forgive you."





"NO FUCK YOU KRIS!!"





"FUCK YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER TOUCHED HER! I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR DEMONS! YOU HAVE A MATE NOW!!" Kris and I roar back and fourth in our communication.



I accidentally shot up from the couch, breathing heavily at Kris's words, squeezing my fist and it startles Hunnie dearly. She holds her hands up, shielding her face and it saddens me. Sitting back down with my eyes trained on Kris ferociously, I lowered Hunnie's hand from her face. A single tear falls from one eye, I wipe it and cup her face with both hands while brining my forehead to touch hers.



"Her name is Anna Hunnie. She used to be my mistress here, but I dismissed her when I had to marry Cyn. I—I touched her breast while we fought." She sniffles and Kris leans forwards off the sofa to look at us. She breaks away from my forehead, looking at Kris.



"Do you...believe that, Hunnie?" I let her face go, ready to punch Kris in the mouth, but then she nods.



Seeing her lips tremble slightly, she asks " Is that the same woman...that brought me food in the dungeons?..."



"Yes" I lower my head. Staring at her exposed knee.



"Do...do you have...feelings for her?" Her voice croaks and I find myself having a hard time answering her question.



I will always have feelings for Anna. She's been in my life way too long thousand years, but I am beginning to love my mate. Someone that actually deserves my love and wants it back in return.



"He does have feelings for her Hunnie. But it's not the kind he has for you. She was coming over to fight him, because he killed her brother the day the rogue vampires attacked." She watches Kris explain and I take her hand in mine, squeezing her soft hands tenderly and cautiously to Kris's words



Her heart moves slightly for the fact I did kill that day, and probably from learning the truth about the blonde haired woman that was so caring towards her, my former mistress. She questions why I killed the brother and Kris flatly says we can't have anyone in the kingdom that knew about the attack on her. They were coming for her life and that only angered Kris all the more. "People as such, isn't to be trusted. Almost like the saying, 'Fool me once, shame on you' which is why he couldn't live. He was very well aware why his commander hired those vampires and we are fated to protect you."





I pick her hands up while she doesn't even cast me a glance while Kris talks to her, kissing each knuckle to show her I was indeed sorry. She was watching Kris' lips move with interest. I usually let Kris explain everything, for he was better at it and didn't have demons in his ears all the time twisting up his words.





"But...but I want to know. How did he touch her?" Hunnie mumbles, taking me off guard.





I thought by me saying I touched her was good enough. I didn't want to say what I did. It would make me feel even more than the monster that I already was. I lift my lips from Hunnie's hand, eyeing Kris worryingly. Did I really have to say it?





"I am disappointed..." Hunnie mumbles again, both Kris and I glue our eyes to her, sensing a new change in our mate. She was becoming bolder, and less timid than usual. "I am sorry Hunnie. I really am." I apologize, pulling her knees to face on the sofa.





"Just tell her Bahm." Kris says in the mind link and I shoot him a dirty stare.



Her body shivers from the touch of my hand and I lower myself to the floor, kneeling between her legs and grabbing her hand in mine. "I sucked her breast Hunnie. Against her will. I was blinded in rage, I just wanted to humiliate her...because she humiliated me...and I was...I was thinking about you...and I bit her there...but...but she told me about you being my mate...and I stopped...I..." The words were only flying out and I felt myself sinking lower and lower by her facial expressions. She didn't seem to like this.





"Do you forgive him Hunnie?" Kris places his hands on her head, his fingers running through her hair.





"A little." She eyes my orbits deeply, her aura still shaking with betrayal.





"Will she come back?" She blurts and I shake my head no quickly, placing a kiss on her knees. She opens her legs slightly, the scent of her arousal from Kris floods my nose in a hurry.



Her being in heat so openly as such has been driving me crazy. Not being able to think about anything. I couldn't wait for the time--



Wait a second...





Is she actually wearing undergarments?





Oh no no no.





"A maid went into town for Kris." Aldrerix says to me in my head.



"She forgives us...now lets proceed what we were going to use the whip cream for, and why no one could ever replace her juicy goodness that we are going to wake up to everyday.." He howls and I feel my eyes blackening, with Kris on the sofa groaning while looking at Hunnie, who was watching me with trembling lips.
