Chapter Six: Marcus
Leandra has been acting strange around me as of lately after her visit with Athenodora and Sulpicia. She cannot keep eye contact me and is not talking to me unless I ask her questions or ask her to do something. I sit in my room with my goblet of fresh blood and stare at the fire that always seemed like my best friend since that awful day centuries ago. There is a soft knock and I look at the door to see that Sulpicia is walking in with a big smile on her face. She closes the door, locks it, and then quickly walks over to me. Her hair glows against the fire's light as she moves to straddle my lap and cup my face in her hands before kissing me. I close my eyes when I feel her lips on my suddenly and try to imagine it is not Sulpicia whom I am kissing, but my darling Leandra. I put my cup down and put both my hands on Leandra's waist to pull her closer against me.
"Marcus, I love you so much," Leandra's beautiful voice says to me and I purr against her lips. I move to kiss her neck and growl as I graze my teeth against her skin. She gasps and leans her head back against the bed. I run my hands up her legs and spread them beneath me so I can see her beautiful lower mouth. I quickly get myself out of my clothes and grab my hard member to prepare it for its entrance into this beautiful woman before me. Leandra wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me down for a passionate kiss. I groan into her mouth and push myself into her quickly and start a hard, fast pace. My ears ring with the sound of Leandra's groans as she holds onto me as tightly as she can and tries to move her hips with mine. I snarl and lick her skin as feel myself close to the edge and then feel her tighten against me. Her scream of pleasure makes me roar louder and then fill her to the brim with everything inside of me. We collapse on the bed in each other's arms. Leandra's smile makes me melt, but she suddenly turns into Sulpicia again and it makes my heart sink. I would give anything to have Leandra with me in this bed.
Aro looks at me with a raised brow and he watches me fidget a little in my chair when we are at our meeting about Leandra's progress. Leandra is standing before me with her head bowed a little as she looks at the floor to avoid Aro's eye contact. I clench my jaw to keep from snapping at Aro for making her become a submissive like this. Caius is a little on edge as well, but for some reason I am not sure as to why.
"Now, how shall we go about to letting Leandra show us how well she has been doing during her few weeks here?" Aro asks. I softly tap my finger on the arm of my chair and keep my eyes on Leandra. Her hair was in a simple french braid with it folded up at the end. I am trying to fight the urge to run over, run my fingers through her hair, and make love to her before everyone to show she is mine. Leandra's eyes flick up to Felix and I see him smile a little before giving a small nod. She smiles and then turn to Aro with her hand out to him.
"The only proof that you will find true is the ones that I have locked in my mind," Leandra says without missing a step. Aro stands up with a smile and he walks over to her. I bite my lip when Aro caresses her cheek and then takes her hand.
"We shall see," Aro says. It takes a few minutes for him to see everything that she has been doing before he steps back and smiles at me. "It would seem my brother has been taking terrific care of you, Leandra. He has been teaching you some things, correct?"
"Yes, master," Leandra says and then looks at Felix. I grip the armrests on my chair and try not to growl. Aro smiles wider when he sees my reaction, as is he knows the truth.
"Well, that is very nice of you brother," Aro says, as he walks back to his seat. I nod and keep my eyes on Leandra. How could she only look at Felix like that but not me? What is their relationship and how am I not seeing it? "Felix, you and Leandra may leave us."
"Thank you, sir," Felix says. Leandra bows and then follows Felix out quickly. I get up and go to my office before I explode before my brothers. I slam the door and throw a chair across the room with a roar. How could she not see it like I can? How can it be?
