Chapter 9

Upon entering their rooms, Kaname proceeded to placed his new silver-haired queen on the massive bed. It was larger than a king, custom made and designed to suit the vampire kings every need and desire. But now Kaname wondered if Zero would like it. After laying the boy down, he took the time to examine his body. It was his right after all, he was his husband, his wife, his queen, his mate. All of these titles will surely anger the boy passed out but Kaname didn't care, in fact he almost looked forward to the anger he would see flash in the newly passive eyes. Eyeing his prize, he noticed that Zero was still covered in dirt and grass; leaves were still stuck in his hair.

Perhaps a bath to sooth his body while I explore some more. His mind deviously wandered to what all he could get away with while his mate was practically unconscious.

No, I can't do that… not while he is practically knocked out. That I will save for when he can make those delectable sounds and expressions for me. Kaname thought wickedly.

A shiver escaped his mate's body so he decided to cover him with a blanket while he ran the bath. Not wanting to walk around in the nude while he waited, Kaname wrapped a crimson towel around his midsection and called for Seiren.

"Yes Kaname-sama?" The loyal purple haired follower enquired as she materialized out of air.

"I would like for you to move all of Zero's belonging into this room and have dinner for the both of us brought up. Also, has anything of importance occurred since we left?"

Never one to disobey or question her master, Seiren bowed her head in submission. She could feel that something had changed. There was a connected that bound the two men in this room together now. Without having to hear the command, she knew she would be serving this man and protecting him just as she did her master. "The hunters have begun to question Zero-sama's disappearance, the nursery maid has become increasingly anxious as well and the babe has not stopped crying for the past several hours. The vampires in your coven have been anxious since you left. Zero-sama's twin has too grown anxious. Perhaps an appearance soon would benefit all, my lord."

Thinking carefully about what the other had said, Kaname had quickly devised a plan.

"We will bath and dress before we make an appearance but first bring the baby here. At the very least Zero's aura will help sooth him and the nanny. Furthermore, the vampires should be able to feel our presence, they will be calm until we decide to show ourselves."

"Yes Kaname-sama. I will bring Hiroki here now then do as commanded." With that, the purple haired vampire seemed to wisp away into thin air.

Turning back to the bathroom, Kaname checked the water and its temperature. Seeing as it was filled enough and warm enough he turned the faucet off before heading back into the bedroom with a damp wash clothe. He proceeded to clean his mates face and neck of the blood and dirt and removed the grass and leaves from his hair. He needed to be presentable enough to not scare the nanny. After this was finished, he gently began to wake the silver haired beauty by nudging him and calling his name.

"Zero. Zero, its time to wake up love. Zero." Each time his voice getting louder and the nudging turned into shaking.

"Zero. WAKE UP." Kaname all but shouted at the deep sleeper.

"Wahhh!" Zero woke with a start. Eyes wide and panting. He was confused and dazed, trying to take in his surroundings. Last he remembered… was… going to the clearing? No that wasn't right… the fight… then fangs… then… oh god… then this morning… with Kaname… who was staring right at him with that damned smirk on his face. Shit.

"You look quite adorable, love but you better collect yourself. We will have a guest in just a moment."

A guest?! Now? Zero frantically thought to himself. He pulled the covers to him his torso, noting that he was still very much so naked under the blanket.

"What the hell, Kaname? What the fuck happened last night? You couldn't give us a few minutes to talk about this before you parade god know who into this room, while we are BOTH fucking naked?!" he was fuming at the pureblood. Not only did he not get a chance to figure out all that happened the day before but now he has to act calm and in control while butt naked with an equally but naked, conniving, arrogant pureblood.

"Oh, I think you will be glad to see this guest. If not, I can send him away. I would never say no to some alone time with my beloved mate." Kaname could not control the smirk he was trying to contain by the end of the sentence. As he waited for the reply from his now red faced mate, there was a knock at the door.

"Ah, and here they are now. You may enter."

The door slowly opened revealing Julie and a crying Hiroki. Julie's eyes were wide and frightened. She quickly scanned the room and saw Kaname standing there by the bed, too scared to notice the aura from behind him. She quickly did a curtsy and greeted the pureblood.

"You called for us Kuran-sama?" Her voice audibly shook. She was afraid for Zero-sama had not returned and she was called to bring the baby to the purebloods room by his bodyguard. She didn't know where Zero was and knew she couldn't keep Hiroki safe from such a high ranking vampire, let alone the king.

"Yes, there is someone who wishes to see you both." The smiling pureblood stated. Then moving out of the way, he revealed the wide eyed Zero. In his bed. And visibly naked under the sheets. But that did not matter to the nanny. She was so overwhelmed with joy at seeing her master that she ran to the bedside.

"Master Zero-sama! I was so worried when you did not return, and then Hiroki-sama started crying and would not stop, and… and… I was just so scared!" She broke down as the silver haired vampire/ vampire hunter took the baby from her arms.

"Julie, calm down. It's alright. I am perfectly fine and back now. The sparing…. Just took longer as I was against a pureblood is all. No need to worry." His eyes flashed to Kaname as he tried to sooth his frantic nanny and son both. After getting them both calm and a quick feeding of blood to Hiroki, they left leaving the pureblood and Zero alone.

"My, I don't know if I should be impressed or jealous." The brunette commented as he checked on the water to make sure it was still warm. Seeing as it was he headed toward to bed.

"Jealous of what?" Zero snapped at him.

"How fast you calmed Hiroki and then feeding him like you did. It made me rather jealous but impressed with how you will be with our children."

"O…Our ch..children? What?!"

"Hmm… did you think that since we are both male that would keep me from impregnating you now that we are mated? Takuma said he explained the birds and bees of higher level vampires to you and Zero, you are most defiantly a higher level." With that he scooped the hunter up from the bed bridal style again and walked towards that bathroom.

"God damn it Kaname, put me the fuck down! I am not a women. Stop carrying me everywhere!"

"No, I think I rather like keeping your naked body pressed against mine." Kaname slyly smirked at the rapid spreading blush to take over his lovers face.

"You're a fucking asshole, Kaname. Seriously. What the hell happened last night and why the hell did we fuck? I was saving myself for my one and only you bastard." Kaname carefully dropped the towel still secured around his waist and lowered the both of them in the hot water. Zero hissed at the drastic temperature change but slowly relaxed against Kaname's chest subconsciously as the water helped ease his sore body.

"I want answers Kaname. Our sparring match went to hell fast and then I wake up with you practically raping me. Then I wake up again, naked in your bed." Kaname flinched at his wife's choice of words, rape was something he never thought he was capable of, but looking at it from the silverettes perspective, their first time could fit that description.

Kaname decided that he should come clean to his bride. Tell him everything from the kiss they shared at the hospital to moments before he woke the silverette up. To say Zero was in shock would be an understatement. He was flabbergasted, Kaname had been having wet dreams about him. Kaname harbored feelings, albeit confused ones, for him. It was his turn to blush and turn away from the brunette.

Here goes nothing… He thought to himself. "I understand your feelings before the field, as I too have been having the same thoughts and dreams." He said with an even redder complexion taking over the already pink hue. "But I knew what it was that I was feeling. I didn't deny it to myself and try to suppress it until my beast overrode all logical thought, Kaname. Do you even realize what you did? Yeah, it was you beast that marked me, us, but it was still you. I am to be the president of the hunters. You are to be the vampire king. We cannot be together. This is why I never acted on my feeling. We need to figure out how to reverse this. Break the bond."

He did not see Kaname's face as he spoke, seeing as he was staring into the water as he spoke and still sitting the purebloods lap. Perhaps he did not want to see his face either, as it became darker and more twisted as the hunter/vampire spoke.

"There is no way to break the bond, Zero." He hissed out making Zero look up at Kaname's face. What he was nearly had him tremble in fear. Kaname's eyes nearly blacked out in rage and possessiveness.

"You are MY wife, My mate. You will be MY queen. You will stay by MY side. And, Zero," His face hovered just centimeters from the others, "you will bear MY children. Is that understood?" His voice was deadly and quiet; daring the hunter to deny him, oppose his ultimate authority.

"No Kaname, I do not understand." Zero boldly protested right back; never breaking eye contact. "If you want me, you have to earn it. Just because the ceremony was completed does NOT mean I will give whole self to you. Now, if you want me to be your wife, your queen and the mother to your children, then woo me. But know this Kaname, I will never give up being a hunter. I will never give up my own power, authority or independence. If there truly is no way to break this bond, then you need to accept I am not some trophy wife that will be your arm decoration or a baby factory spitting out carbon copies of you. I have power of my own right."

Kaname was impressed with his little mate's speech, and he knew that he was right. He couldn't just take Zero away from the hunters. That would cause a war that neither wanted. His mind quickly devising a plan that would work out the best for both sides and more importantly, himself. His aura lessened as he leaned back against the tub.

"Then let me assure you, love, this bond is permanent unless one of us dies. But I do believe you are correct, both sides will become outraged by the news of our mating. Perhaps, for public appearances, we can agree that we mated for the sake of both sides and furthering peaceful co-existence? Perhaps we shall write a treaty solidifying it. As for our courtship, that I have no problem doing. But as of this moment, these are your rooms as well. I will not have my spouse sleeping away from me." Kaname then slowly began tracing his hands and fingers up with silverettes hips and back, feeling each curve and where made his mate quiver.

"Furthermore, I will not deny myself the pleasure of you. Because you, Zero Kuran, are absolutely exquisite." Those wandering fingers made their way down his spine, no stopping until the reach Zero's quivering entrance.

The blush that had dissipated with the previous discussion came back tenfold as Zero's eyes dilated in pleasure. He could not stop his body from responding to his mates touch. It lit a fire in its wake that only grew when Kaname's finger slowly circled his entrance before finally plunging in.

"Ba..Baka! Stop, We are… oh god…Kaname, stop…. Still talking…" Zero barely panted out.

"Why, love, I was just cleaning you out thoroughly. Perhaps you didn't want that cleaned out? Hmmm? Don't worry beloved, I know exactly how to put it back right the way it was." Kaname gave his little mate a full fang filled smile before removing his fingers abruptly earning a subconscious whine from the silverette just to spear his engorged penis deep within his wife's confines. Kaname gave a deep throaty chuckle to Zero's inability to resist him. Try as he might, Zero was completely caught in his man's grasp.

Feeling the need to torture and punish his hunter, Kaname kept perfectly still. His rod deep within Zero's confines pressed neatly against his prostate. The pleasure was nearly unbearable as his husband refused to move but began attacking Zero's nipples in earnest. Zero gave a deep moan before smacking his husband upside the head.

Trying to fight the desire filling him so that the conversation could continue took every last bit of Zero's mental strength. Finally his was able to grit out between clenched teeth "Move and I'll shoot you. We need to talk Kaname. This can wait."

"That is where you are so dreadfully wrong Zero, this cannot wait." And with that he lifted Zeros hips only to slam them down again. Zero placed his hands on Kaname's shoulder to keep himself stead as his husband set an even more torturous tempo. Lift, slam, grind. Lift, slam, grind. Over and over again. The water sloshed out of the tub but neither paid any attention. The bond had awoken with Kaname's first thrust within Zero but had been awake for since before the bath for Kaname. Soon Zero was grinding back and lifting himself. The water acted as a lubricant but soon became too slick. Kaname lifted the silver haired beauty out of the tub, all the while still trusting deep within him.

Kaname didn't want to travel far and placed Zero on the counter top, then grabbed the younger man's ankles lifting them onto his shoulders. The change in angle made them both cry out in bliss. The friction increased without the ever-present water from the tub bringing both boys closer to a maddening release. Zeros cock twitched madly and the tip was a deep crimson.

"Kana… I cant… I'm.. I'm gonna…" He panted out as drool sliding down the corner of this mouth.

"Me too love, together ok?" Kaname received a quick nod as he felt his orgasm coil in his pelvis. Grabbing ahold of his mate's neglected penis he began to pump in time with his sporadic and thrust. Twice, trice, four times and his orgasm hit him like a truck. It felt like this dick was a fire hose that didn't have an off. He watched from this angle as his precious one orgasmed as well then as his seed filled him to the point of creating a small bump between him muscular hip bones. It looked like he was a few months pregnant, it filled him so much. It caused a primal reaction in the older boy… Wanting, no needing, to see him mate round and plump with their offspring. Perhaps all this mating will impregnate him soon. Kaname thought gleefully to himself as the lowered his forehead to his mates. Their panting breathe soon mingles and eyes met. Before either one knew it, their lips had joined in the sweetest of kisses. It was not rushed nor overwhelming but still full of passion.
