Chapter 9: More Interruptions

I didn't know how to do that, I started to sprint hoping that I would be able to do the same thing. I couldn't, I took a deep breath stopping, I did it again, but nothing. I groaned with annoyance, kicking at the ground.

"Need help?" I turned in the direction of the hive, he stood there with a grin on his face. "Don't think about it." He insisted, I nodded my head. "Just do it." He then ran off again with a blur and a dust cloud following, I then took a deep breath clearing my mind, I ran forward and then stopped at least fifty meters from my original place. I giggled, damn I did it, I'm so skilled. I sped all that way back to the train, Albert waiting at the small metal stair that lead into Black hat's cart. I stopped beside him, there was an awkward silence as we glared at each other.

"He came in this way?"

"No, my queen." I sighed, I didn't like that, I didn't like being a queen. I probably wasn't even a queen, that was just what he told them to call me.

"Don't call me that anymore."

"As you wish my-"

"Penelope." I corrected, he nodded his head and turned pointing to three cart from the one we were next to.

"Master went there." I walked my way over to the cart walking up the metal steps and entering the door. When I stepped in, I saw him sitting at the end of a long table in a chair. A tall mirror beside him, he held his hand in his hands, his slicked back hair glistening in the light of the blinds. His eyes glittered with a fire I enjoyed to stare at.
The room was rather small, metal plates full of food rested up and down the table. A chair was across from where he sat, the rug underneath the table was an exotic pattern of reds and blacks. He stared at me, looking me up and down with dominant eyes.

"I apologize if I am interrupting you. I didn't mean to-"

"You want to know what I love about you?" He smirked, emphasizing the word love, he licked his lips and perched his boots up on the table.

"You are beautiful... You are polite... And you are still innocent." My cheeks flushed with red, I tried to keep a strict demeanor, but he knew that I liked what he said. He knew exactly what I was thinking. "You press for information... Your stubborn... Emotional... Strong... All the things that make me want you even more." He then frowned. "But every beauty has a tragic flaw, whether it's being stuck up, or not being able to let go, yours is the latter thankfully, that can be fixed." I gulped, I couldn't let go, I knew the truth just as much as him. I still was hanging on to that ounce of humanity, I was a human vampire though. Keyword human, I will always have a human heart, a human Image, and hopefully a human mindset. "Come here." He ordered softly, I was frozen, I couldn't move, I don't know why, he sat up placing his hat on the table. "I said come here." He ordered in a much stricter tone, I slowly walked my way over to him, when I was beside him. He patted his lap staring up at me, I bit my inner lip and silently listened. Placing one leg over his waist and straddling his lap, he grabbed my wrists gently placing them on his shoulders. He then reached a hand up to stroke my cheek, I closed my eyes and sunk my skin into his hand. "A perfect queen... But you don't want to be a queen... So modest... So divine."

"No... I don't want to be a queen... Just yours." I opened my eyes, I then saw that I had leaned in closer to him, my lips nearly touching his. He finally meshed our lips together with a passion, his tongue pushed beyond my lips, his hands snatched for my waist. He started pushing me back and forth to rub against him, I pulled from his lips, I could feel his bulge. I gripped tightly onto his shoulders, this was not what I was expecting from him.

"You are mine... No one touches you... No thinks about you... No one calls you Penelope but me... Are we clear?" He hissed in my ear, he knew about the familiar, about what the hotel manager did, how I talked to him in turn, I felt guilty now. He was my one and only, I want him to know that. I want to prove that to him, but this type of reaction was only jealousy and that made me happy, there was no other woman before me. Soon my body started reacting with his, he no longer needed to grind me against him, my body did it for him. It felt good, but the amount of clothing on our bodies was getting irritating, I needed him now. He tugged at the leather jacket, I stopped grinding stripping it from me, following with the long sleeved shirt. I was now half naked before him, he reached around my body and unlatched the bra, it peeled from my body revealing my breasts. He grabbed them vigorously causing a small whimper to break past my lips.

"Oh god..." I whispered, he chuckled.

"Using the lord's name in vain (again). I like it." I continued to rub my crotch against his throbbing bulge. The heat between us unexplainable, he groaned and growled into my ear sending shivers through my body before we pressed forehead and stared into each other's eyes. "Harder." He ordered, I whimpered going as hard as I could. I wanted him inside of me, but that wasn't his plan, I knew it wasn't. He grabbed my waist with his strong hands and forcefully made me go faster, I bit my bottom lip.

"F-F-"

"Say it! Say it!" He growled like an animal in my face, his hot breath adding to the ecstasy.

"F-" We were interrupted by a knock at the door, both of us froze. I felt a sudden decline in my arousal, his nose twitched when he realized the same.

"What is it?!" Black hat yelled angrily at the familiar we both could smell from the other side.

"The salesman is here." Black hat pushed me off his lap, I fell back onto the ground. He stood up and glared at the door.

"He is early." There was a small silence as muffled voices broke through the door and into my highly sensitive ears.

"He says there were complications."

"Complications?!" Black hat repeated to himself with that irritation in his voice, his eyebrows furrowing with confusion.

"Penelope, get up for me and get dressed." I did exactly as he said, dressing as fast as I could. When my long sleeve shirt was on, the door opened without permission. The salesman and the familiar walked in, the salesman more shaky, he stood across the table. Black hat sat back gesturing to the chair closest to him at the table, I sat down. The salesman did the same sitting across from us.

"What is the issue?"

"W-Well sure, I have to leave earlier than expected, the townspeople kicked me from my shop." He grabbed his hat placing it on his head and holding the brim of it his his fingers.

"Enlighten me." He wove his fingers and placed them on his chest. I could sense his irritation, he obviously didn't want us to be interrupted. I nervously fiddling with my thumbs leaning against the table and staring at the men. I watched as he stared around the table at the large assortment of food, it made me recognize the hard life that those in wastelands had. They had to work for their food, while in the city you worked to have a home and the food was provided to you.

The salesman then glared at me, his blue eyes staring me down, I heard the growl from Black hat as he shot up in his seat and slammed his hands on the table. I flinched away staring up at him.

"They are looking for her." The salesman pointed directly at me, his hand shaking. "Ever since she walked into my shop those people can't trust me." Black hat cocked his head, he looked down at me.

"Why? Who are they?"

"The clergy... Those damn guards are looking for her." My eyes widened, what did they want with me? They already ruined my life once, now they have to ruin this life? I gulped, feeling the two sets of eyes on me. The clergy shouldn't care anything about the wastelands they only take toward the cities and that's that, but they want me. Why?
