It took Velkan a while before he decided to return to their shared chamber. Victoria had moved her belongings into his bedchamber, tidying away her gowns with the help of maids. They had been sworn to secrecy not to mention the marriage, but Victoria could not help but think how pointless that was. They were married in secret to keep it from Dracula, yet he knew the truth. He knew that they were married.
Victoria finished tidying away her underclothes into a drawer before the door opened and Velkan walked in, still dressed in his dirtied clothes from that morning. His gaze fell onto his new bride as she stood up straight and pulled her hair over one shoulder. She had changed from the white gown into her white nightgown, the laces at the front it slightly loose and teasing the bare skin that rested underneath it.
"I take it you have spoken with your father?" Victoria confirmed with him, moving to help him shrug out of his waistcoat and drape it over the chaise longue by the fireplace.
"He has his men guarding the castle," Velkan informed his wife. "I told him of his attack, but I also told him how he fled."
"It is becoming tiresome," Victoria whispered, her hand resting on the back of the seat as Velkan watched her. "I had thought that my wedding was supposed to be a happy day."
"I know, my love," Velkan promised her, daring to move and take her cheek into his palm. "This is not what I had imagined either. I want to give you everything."
Shaking her head slowly, Victoria dared to move closer to Velkan and lace her arms around his waist, holding him to her as he moved down to kiss her on the top of her head, his own hands folding into the small of her back.
"You are here," Victoria declared to him, "and that is more than enough for me."
Velkan smiled at hearing her words, unable to contain himself. He struggled to care about the Count at that moment in time as he kept his bride inside of his arms, his grip tight yet comforting. Victoria exhaled softly, her breath tickling the bare skin of his throat as she made the motion.
"We shall find a way through this," he promised her. "You shall see, love."
"I do not doubt it," Victoria responded in a whisper, moving to kiss Velkan softly on the lips.
Slowly the kiss deepened as Victoria bit down on Velkan's bottom lip, causing him to moan and open his mouth, allowing her a chance to slip her tongue against his, the motion enough to cause his eyes to roll back into his head as Victoria's hands tangled themselves into his hair, pressing his body tightly against hers as she pressed against him.
Velkan let out an audible groan as his bride moved her hand down his neck, her fingernails tickling against his skin as her hand slowly moved over his shoulder and down his chest towards his breeches and crotch. Velkan pulled back then, his hand wrapping around her wrist as she looked at him with a soft smile.
"It's me," Victoria whispered, knowing what he was scared of as her other hand then moved to stroke his cheek. "He has no control over me, Velkan."
"I worry, love," Velkan told her and Victoria nodded her head.
"Then we shall take it slow," Victoria said, knowing that this was not how she was supposed to act on her wedding night according to gossip. She should allow the man to take the lead and simply lay there and spread her legs, but that was not her relationship with Velkan. She wanted him as much as he wanted her.
"How can we be sure that he won't be in your head?" Velkan dared to wonder as Victoria moved to lace her fingers inside of his and she moved slowly towards the bed, dragging him with her.
She knelt on the mattress as he sat on the edge of the bed and she moved her hands along his shoulders, trying to soothe him.
"Because I will speak your name," Victoria said. "I will tell you that I love you. If you even begin to suspect that it is not me then we shall stop. Do not let him win and ruin this night, Velkan, please."
His hand moved to roam her cheek as he looked into her eyes. Nodding, he bent his head down so that his lips could find hers, but he kept the pressure light, knowing that he had to take things slowly. Victoria didn't seem to mind as the Gypsy Prince's hands found her waist and guided her back onto the bed until she was laid down, her head on the pillow and her hands cradling his cheeks.
Breaking the kiss for a moment, Velkan's forehead rested against hers, his hands moving up her hips and dragging and ruffling the material of her nightgown as they went until his fingers danced over the material covering her stomach and paused beneath her breast.
Victoria gasped as they stopped and she moved her legs, opening them and allowing Velkan's body to collapse against hers, their bodies pressing tighter together now.
"Velkan," Victoria whispered his name to let him know that she was in full control.
"You're beautiful," Velkan declared to her, his fingers still as Victoria arched her back, pleading with him to touch her silently. "And I'm certain that you are wearing too many clothes Mrs Valerious."
Victoria laughed at the way he spoke her married name, her head tilting back as Velkan moved downwards, laying open mouth kisses on her neck as he went and her laughter soon turned into a strangled moan as he nibbled along her collarbone and her hands balled into fists against the sheets. She chewed down on her lip, trying to stop herself from screaming out in want.
"Victoria," Velkan whispered against her skin, his breath hot and heavy as he drew her gaze down to his.
She nodded to him, knowing that he would be in need of constant reassurance during the night. And she would give it to him.
"Velkan," she spoke his name and he smiled then as his hands finally cupped both her breasts and she let out a loud moan as Velkan wondered what to do next.
Slowly he moved the mounds in his fingertips and Victoria did her best to stop herself from attracting the attention from anyone outside of the room. As Velkan continued to knead her flesh she found herself moving her hands to his shoulders as his lips continued to move against her neck.
"Victoria," Velkan groaned, one hand leaving her breast to travel down to her thigh that she was rubbing against his, his hand curving under her knee as she bent her leg and felt his calloused hands run up her smooth skin.
"Velkan," Victoria whispered his name, once again giving him the reassurance he needed as he moved his hand towards her core, causing her to give out a sudden gasp.
"Do you consent?" Velkan dared to ask from her, peering up to her as his other hand continued to rest on her breast.
"I think I am too far gone to say no, husband," Victoria teased him, peering down to him as he smiled wolfishly up to her before he moved his middle finger to part her folds.
He was shocked to find how wet she was, her lips parting easily until his finger found the bundle of nerves he had heard servants whisper of. Her body jerked as soon as his finger touched it and Victoria's high pitched gasp was enough to tell him that he had found the right place.
"Velkan," she groaned his name. "What are you doing to me?"
"Pleasuring you, my love," Velkan assured her, moving his other hand to the ties on her nightgown and loosening them until it parted from her chest to reveal her naked breast.
Velkan looked on at the milky white flesh, her breasts small yet pert. Bending his head downwards, he couldn't resist from latching onto one of them, any ounce of nerves he felt well and truly gone. Her moans rocked through her body then as his teeth grazed her nipple and his fingers continued to work on her bundle of nerves between her legs. Moaning and panting beneath him, Victoria only registered that her husband was still fully clothed, yet she would change that soon enough.
Managing to open her eyes, she peered down as Velkan's teeth nipped at her nipple and her hands worked into his hair, keeping his head against her breast as he continued to leave wet and open mouthed kisses on the sensitive skin. His hand continued to work her, but he soon moved it from the nerves, leaving her to feel dissatisfied as his mouth unlatched from her and he peered up to her as he moved his mouth back up her neck, his mouth coming to rest by her ear as he whispered to her and her hands fell to the mattress, resting flat as she bucked against him, trying to remove some pressure she felt from the throbbing between her legs.
"You're so beautiful like this," Velkan whispered to her, his words hot and heavy as she felt his hand go back to her breast as the other hand allowed his finger to languidly move in her folds, coating her in wetness. "Moaning and groaning for me."
"Only for you," Victoria promised her husband, her mouth also next to his ear as she dared to nip the lobe, causing him to moan.
"You're so wet," Velkan informed her. "So beautiful."
It was then when Velkan moved his finger towards her entrance and Victoria felt him move to pinch her nipple again.
"Please, Velkan," Victoria spoke, begging for him to continue.
And he did. His finger slipped into her entrance with a soft popping noise as Victoria chewed down on his neck to stop herself from groaning anymore. Keeping quiet, Velkan marvelled at how tight she felt to his fingers. He could only imagine what it would feel like when he was sheathed inside of her. His finger moved around, exploring her walls as his hand continued to assault her breast.
"Velkan," Victoria whispered his name. "I need you now…please…"
Velkan made to move his finger, but he only slipped it back in, mimicking the action he would make in moments. Victoria seemed to go into a frenzy as his finger moved before he added a second, stretching her as her hips bucked against his wrist, begging for more. Velkan continued to tease her before he finally pulled out and his wife moved with haste, wrapping her legs around his waist and flipping him onto his back.
Velkan was shocked she could be moved after groaning with ecstasy. Her nightgown pooled at her waist as the top half remained open, baring her breasts to him.
"You are wearing far too many clothes," Victoria informed him, peeling his shirt open as he sat up, hungrily moving to kiss her as he kept her in his lap.
He felt himself shudder as soon as his shirt was removed from his shoulders, revealing his toned chest. Victoria looked on for a moment before her hands ran over the planes of his stomach towards his trousers. She made with haste, ridding them from his waist to reveal his crotch. Slowly, she brushed her hand over the head of his member, shocked to find him already erect.
He took his turn to toss his head back as Victoria wrapped a small hand around him and began to move up and down slowly. She watched with awe as her husband struggled to remain composed. But she was pleased that she could have this effect on him. She wanted him to go mad with need.
"Victoria," Velkan stopped her, his hand around hers to slow her motion. "I want to finish inside of you, love."
Nodding at his words, Victoria moved as Velkan watched her. He had expected her to lay back and open her legs, but she made no move to take herself from his lap. Instead she knelt up, hiking her nightgown to her hips before she looked down. Velkan moved then, his hand holding his member as she sunk her hips onto him, groaning out loud and in slight pain as she struggled to take in more than a few inches.
"Take your time, love," Velkan told her, his hands holding her hips as she nodded, her arms around his neck as her breasts brushed against his neck.
Moving to distract her, Velkan once again engulfed a mound into his mouth, causing his wife to sink further down onto him and Velkan gasped around her at the feeling of her tight heat. He had never felt anything like it before and it only increased when she stilled on his lap. Wriggling slightly, she tried to adjust herself to become comfortable. She struggled for a moment before she felt a hand in between her legs and stroking her softly.
"Move, love," Velkan pleaded more than demanded as he looked to her, his mouth now moving back to hers as Victoria moved her hips experimentally.
She rocked forwards slightly, only to be shocked when Velkan's hips met hers halfway.
"That's it," Velkan told her, his mouth by her ear. "Do you know what you do to me, Victoria?"
She chuckled then as their hips met once again and she groaned out loud, wondering how to calm herself as Velkan moved his hands to her hips, bouncing her slightly as his gaze wandered down to watch her breasts sway with each movement.
"I take it I please you?" Victoria teased him.
"Oh, more than you know," he assured her. "You look perfect here…balanced on my lap…your breasts here…in my face…and you…so wet…so tight…"
Victoria moaned at his words and slowly felt herself become undone with the motions. It had all become too much and she soon felt herself come around him, collapsing into his chest as his seed entered her, causing her to warm up more. Closing her eyes and panting, she dripped with sweat as Velkan's arms wrapped around her waist.
"Velkan," she mumbled his name.
"I don't want to pull out," Velkan mumbled, feeling himself grow soft as he moved Victoria in his arms, laying her down on the bed as he kept himself sheathed inside of her.
"That was amazing," Victoria whispered, her hand on his bare chest as his hand moved to cup a breast fondly.
"Everything about that was amazing," Velkan clarified, his fingers tickling on her breast.
"You appear to be obsessed," Victoria spoke and Velkan arched a brow.
"What with, my love?" he teased, giving her a firm squeeze. "Your perfect mounds?"
Biting a lip, Victoria almost felt ashamed to say that the burning inside of her commenced again as her husband rolled on top of her, falling between her legs, his other hand coming to her other breast to push both of them together.
"I have to say, never have I had something so firm yet so soft in my fingers," Velkan told her, still staring at her chest.
"Oh?" Victoria wondered.
"And they fill my hand perfectly…and your nipples…so hard, Victoria, I would have to say that you enjoy my touch on them."
"Possibly I do, Vlad."
Freezing, Velkan kept his fingers on her as his gaze moved to hers and he wondered if it had just been a slip of the tongue as she watched him. But her gaze didn't falter as she watched him with wide eyes. Moving upwards, Velkan pulled his body from his wife, his hardening organ turning soft at her simple words.
Pushing herself onto her elbows, Victoria looked on as Velkan stood from the bed, dragging his trousers to his hips and running his hands through his hair.
"Victoria," Velkan just spoke. "Do you know who I am?"
Laughing, she chucked her head back, her hair tumbling down her shoulders as she made the motion.
"Do you think that I can forget the man who pleasured me four times in one night?" Victoria asked and Velkan shook his head, wondering what was happening as his wife moved her own hands to her breasts and began working them with her fingertips.
"See what I told you."
Turning with haste, Velkan saw that monster on the window ledge, crouched down as his eyes remained on Victoria and the Prince moved to his jacket, searching for his gun.
"How does it feel, my Prince?" the Count wondered as Velkan heard his wife yell in pleasure. "Your wedding night and she calls another man's name. Do you not see that she is mine?"
"You are controlling her," Velkan snarled and the Count chuckled as Victoria went silent and her eyes closed as she slept soundly.
"Perhaps now," Vlad declared. "But when she called my name? That was all her."
Velkan had no chance to shoot the monster as he flew into the darkness, leaving the Prince stood there in silence, wondering if what he had just been told was true.
