Chapter 9

Vegeta stood with his eyes closed under the stream of scalding hot water in the shower, letting all the sweat and blood from the day's gruelling training sessions, thanks to the woman's upgrade in the level of gravity he could utilise, disappear down the drain.

Despite the water doing enough to relax his tense muscles, he can't help but notice that the shift in the air hasn't changed. Since leaving the gravity chamber a little while ago his senses have been on high alert. His instincts were warning him about the electricity in the air. He was anticipating something, what it was though, he wasn't sure.

His eyes snapped open when he felt the woman's ki moving down the hallway in the direction of his room. He kept his focus on her, curious about where she was heading.

'Where could she be off to right now? The woman's probably going to that lab of hers.'

So it was safe to say he was fairly surprised when he felt her stop in front of his door. Now he was really paying close attention, waiting patiently for her to make her next move. He didn't have to wait too long as he felt her enter his room a moment later and stop somewhere close to his bed.

'Well, what do you know?'

If he could see his reflection at that moment, he would have seen that his trademark smirk was wide and downright predatory. So it seems that the woman has made her choice. That would explain the anticipation he was thinking about earlier. The time has finally come for him to end the hunt and to claim his prey once and for all.

'You'll get one chance to change your mind. After that, there'll be no turning back little one.' He mused to himself internally.

Vegeta turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. He wrapped a white towel around his hips before using his ki to dry himself, turned the bathroom light off and walked out the door into the darkness of his room. His superior eyesight allowed him to see everything clear as day without the assistance of illumination.

He saw the woman seated on the edge of his bed with her legs crossed and her arms spread to the side with both her palms resting on the bed. Her pale skin was bathed in the light of the partially full moon, giving her an almost ethereal glow.

He stalked towards her while addressing her with a deceptive softness in his voice. "Well aren't you feeling bold, waltzing into my room unannounced."

Bulma cocked an eyebrow, keeping her eyes locked on Vegeta's as he walked towards her. "Well I wasn't going to stand outside your door waiting for you to finish in the shower. That's a bit too weird, even for me."

The Prince shook his head minutely, deciding to cut straight to the point. "I assume that your presence here has to do with our little talk in the afternoon."

She nodded her agreement. "Yeah, it is. No thanks to you, it took me a while before I figured out what you wouldn't tell me." Bulma stood from her seat at the edge of the bed and walked forward to meet him. "I must say Vegeta, you really surprised me when I realised that you were giving me the chance to choose whether or not I wanted to go forward with this."

Vegeta grunted his response, fighting to keep his arms at his sides. She had stopped less than an arm's length from him but he wasn't going to touch her until she said the words. "And what, pray tell, did you end up choosing?"

She simply smiled at him while slowly running the tips of her fingers up his arms, stepping close enough to him that she could feel his body heat but not enough to touch him yet. "I decided that I wanted to give it a go. I had enough of denying what was right in front of me."

Vegeta's lips twitched slightly in amusement at that. "And now, you're certain about your choice?"

Bulma nodded slowly, her voice husky with want. "I've never lived my life asking myself 'what if' and 'what could have been' and I'm not going to start now. So yeah, I'd say I'm pretty sure about it."

If he hadn't been paying attention, he would've missed the slight tensing of the woman's body before she tried to jump him. He caught her arms just before they managed to wrap around his neck. "Nuh uh uh, not so fast woman."

The surprise on her face at his fast movement made him laugh a little. "Now who gave you permission to do that, hm?" Out there in her world, she may rule over her work force but in here, he called the shots.

The woman's eyes widened when she caught on to his train of thought. He grinned wolfishly at her deer-in-headlights expression before moving his face closer to hers, leaving only a hair's width of space between them. "Really, all you have to do is ask and I'll happily oblige. For now…" He pulled her forward by her arms and kissed her. He licked her bottom lip, they parted with a small gasp and he wasted no time sliding into her hot mouth.

'I almost forgot what a good kisser he is.' Bulma felt her eyes roll to the back of her head before closing. She eagerly responded to Vegeta's soft yet passionate kiss.

The Prince slowly walked her towards his bed, never breaking their kiss, all the while moving her arms behind her back and holding them there by her wrists. When he felt her knees bump the edge, he broke for air and pushed her onto her back. He knelt on her side and gripped her upper arms to move her to the centre, laying on top of her as he did.

"Place your arms above your head." He commanded softly. She obliged immediately, which surprised her a bit. "Don't move." He slowly slid down her body, letting his lips trail over her clothed chest and abdomen before standing to his full height.

Vegeta was certain that if he still had a tail, it would've unwound itself from his waist and start softly swaying side to side. Seeing the woman lying there, his to do with as he pleased, it was a heady feeling.

He locked his gaze with Bulma's as he lit a kernel of ki on the tip of his index finger. He hovered above her and put his illuminated finger at the top of her nightgown. He smirked deviously before slowly sliding his finger down the centre of her body, ripping her dress along the way, leaving her in her black lace panties.

Bulma gasped when she heard the fabric of her dress come apart. She looked down to see it split down the middle. She frowned and looked up at Vegeta, about to give him an earful about ruining her clothes, only to stop short at the sight above her.

'Oh….my….'

The Prince's eyes were glowing a dark crimson, his bloody gaze intent on her sapphire eyes. She started breathing heavily at the sight, her exposed nipples becoming erect with excitement. Vegeta's smirk grew at her reaction, exposing his slightly elongated fangs. She swallowed a whimper upon seeing them, feeling her body clench in anticipation.

'Is he a vampire or something?'

He kept his eyes on the woman as he slowly ran his tongue over his canines. Her breath caught in her throat at the action, causing him to smile evilly at the sound.

Bulma tried to clear the fog in her brain so she could ask him about his appearance, not that she was complaining about it. "W-why did your eyes and teeth change?"

Vegeta dipped his head and placed hot open mouthed kisses in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath inhaling her sweet scent. She moaned softly and brought her arms down with one hand in his hair and the other on his back as she slightly arched up and rubbed her hips against his to try and find some sort of relief.

He stopped and moved a bit out of reach above her.

Bulma looked up at him, confusion shining in her eyes. "Why'd you stop?"

He 'tsked' softly and shook his head at her. "Firstly, I thought I told you not to move. Don't you remember what happened last time you moved?" She narrowed her eyes at him, telling him without words that she recalled it perfectly. "Second, on my appearance you asked about." Her eyes lit up with poorly veiled interest.

Vegeta gave her a devilish smile before laying on top of her and whispered to her in a dark, captivating voice. "In simple terms, my Oozaru demands that I fuck you until you don't know any other name besides my own."

'This man is a crime against all womankind.'

Any comment Bulma was going to make was instantly forgotten as Vegeta crushed his lips to hers, kissing her with a passion so hot, she felt her temperature rise to a point she thought she would spontaneously combust.

The Prince moved his lips to her neck, littered it with kisses and licked at the skin. She sighed at the pleasurable feelings he was giving her. He grabbed her wrists, placed them above her head again and squeezed them a bit in warning. She got the message: Stay still.

Vegeta kissed and licked a trail down her chest while rubbing his hips against hers. Thanks to her thin panties, she felt the evidence of his arousal right by her bundle of nerves in between her legs, the towel he was still wearing adding the extra delicious friction.

He reached her breasts and licked a circle around her areola with the tip of his tongue, just missing the place where she really wanted it to be. He bit her nipple lightly and pulled before sucking it into his mouth at the same time he pinched her other nipple. Bulma whimpered, panting softly and trying desperately not to move her arms. Hell, she wasn't taking chances with her legs either cause she really didn't want him to stop what he was doing.

'He's barely touched me and I'm already a withering mess. This isn't fair.' She whined internally.

He repeated the action on the other side, licking, biting and sucking until both her nipples were red and swollen. Bulma felt like she was losing her mind when she felt him continue his journey down her body. She was so lost in her pleasure that she didn't register him pulling her panties down her legs and then spreading them wider until she felt his finger slide down her slit. She involuntarily bucked her hips when she felt him lightly circle her clit.

Vegeta was taken aback by how wet she was already and they'd barely even started. He took a deep breath and groaned lightly after taking in the scent of her desire. Sweet yet musky. He raised his eyes and watched her. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted as she panted for breath. His smile was absolutely wicked before he dipped his head and lightly flicked his tongue against her bundle of nerves.

Bulma moaned softly and opened her eyes to look down at the Prince. He must have been waiting for that because he then spread her lips open and went in for the kill. Her head fell back against the pillows and she whimpered while gripping the sheets above her. She couldn't believe how good he was making her feel.

'This man should win a medal with how skilled he is with just his mouth.'

She was dying just keeping her arms above her head. She wanted to touch him! "Vegeta…" she whined. He raised his eyes and read the plea in her gaze. He narrowed his eyes in dark amusement before telling her what she did, and didn't, want to hear.

"Woman, if you want to touch me, all you have to do is ask." Oh her face was a picture right now.

"No way, not happening." Just who did he think he was telling her to beg. In his ever loving dreams.

"Then you'll just have to remain as you are." He gave her clit a hard swipe with his tongue, just for kicks. She cursed and seized at the feeling. Damn him and his cunning ways!

"And I wouldn't try anything either. I'm not above restraining you on the bed Bulma." Her eyes widened and she bit her lip as the image of him tying her wrists to the bedpost passed through her mind.

Vegeta noted the interest in her gaze and how the scent of her arousal elevated when he mentioned restraint. So his little mate was keen on the idea of being tied up? Interesting. He stored that away for later. "Are we clear, woman?"

She shakily nodded her head.

"Good." He blew hot air on her exposed skin. She shuddered lightly and closed her eyes again. 'Perfect'. He heated two of his fingers with his ki and plunged them into her pussy just as he lowered his mouth to suck on her clit.

"Oh my Kami!" Bulma screamed into the silent night. She bucked her hips, almost trying to get away from touch. Vegeta held her down with one hand before fucking her hard with his fingers and his mouth.

Oh fuck this.

"Please! Please let me touch you Vegeta!" She didn't wait for him to answer as she grabbed onto his hair in a death grip. He didn't stop her so she guessed he allowed it, thank Kami. He curled his fingers in a come hither motion, hitting her in just the right spot.

The combined sensations proved to be too much for the young heiress as she quickly fell over the edge, her orgasm hitting her harder than she's ever felt in her life.

The Prince moved his mouth to her entrance just as she came, catching every single drop. He purred at the taste of her. 'So sweet.' He gently licked her down from her release until she stopped shaking.

He moved back up and kissed her, his tongue dancing with hers as he let her taste her own essence. Bulma moaned into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck as he ran his hands along the sides of her body. Vegeta caught her bottom lip with his sharp teeth and pulled, slightly splitting the skin and letting her bleed a little. He sucked her lip to soothe the wound and taste her blood. He groaned heavily at the taste, causing her to whimper at the sound.

He whipped the towel off of himself and laid down on her, the full skin to skin contact making both of them sound out their pleasure at the feeling. They kissed again while Vegeta slowly rubbed himself against her wet folds, letting her feel his gifted cock, enjoying the feel of her moist skin against his.

He lined himself up to her entrance and kissed his way to the crook of her neck once more. He sucked the spot on her neck above her shoulder and he roughly plunged into her hot depths.

The heiress screamed her pleasure out loud for the whole compound to hear before wrapping her legs around his hips. Vegeta took that as his cue to ravish her. He pulled out almost all the way before slamming his hips against hers hard at a gruelling pace and she did her best to keep up with him.

The room was filled with gasps of the Prince's name along with pleas of "more, harder, faster" fuelling Vegeta to give his mate what she wanted. Bulma dragged her nails down his back hard, leaving scratch marks everywhere they went. He lightly moaned at the feeling, the sound making Bulma feel powerful.

She felt the telltale tightening at the bottom of her abdomen, signaling she was close. Her loud moans turned into consistent gasps, her grip on Vegeta's hair tightening even more, making him shudder.

"Vegeta!" Bulma cried out at the top of her lungs as she came again, this one dwarfing the last one entirely as her body clenched over and over again.

Vegeta rammed into her a few more times before stilling completely, growling deeply as his fangs bit into her neck, relishing the taste of her blood when he found his release. The feeling of him coating her and his bite along with the guttural sound he made had Bulma tightening her hold on him when another wave hit her, moaning her release one last time.

She fell back onto the bed, panting for breath when it was over. Vegeta fell on top of her but quickly rolled her onto him to avoid crushing her. He held her head in place and they softly kissed a few times before he broke and turned her head to show her wound. He licked off the excess blood and caressed the wound as his eyes returned to their normal obsidian hue.

It was official. Bulma Briefs was his mate and the proof was there for all to see.

The Prince pulled a thin sheet up to cover both of them. He turned his head and chuckled wickedly.

The woman was out like a light.

'I'm willing to bet this never happened when she was with the weakling.'

Vegeta wrapped his arms around her and turned them so they were both lying on their sides.

'Mine.' That was the last thought that passed through his mind before he fell asleep. His smug smile never left his face all night.
