Severus POV

Once in my chambers I throw her in and turn to the door, locking it behind us. I take my overcoat and cloak off, setting them both on a hook before I roll up my sleeves and turn to the girl.

"I will not have someone looking so disgusting walking through my castle."

"Gee thanks. Not like we had access to baths like you blood suckers do."

"You have creeks don't you?"

"Asshole."

"Finally a new insult," I walk over to her and grab her by her wrist, dragging her into my bathroom. "Strip down."

"Excuse me?!"

"Strip or I rip your clothes off," She goes bright red and slowly takes off her clothes. Once she's bare she uses her arms to cover herself. She's small but her body has the perfect amount of curves. I can't help but reach out and grab her hips, pulling her against me.

Her body fits perfectly against mine, the top of her head just below my shoulders. I slide my hands down to the back of her thighs, easily picking her up. A small gasp escapes her throat as she grabs my shoulders.

"S-sir..."

"Be quiet," She nods and I kick off my boots stepping into the large bath and sitting on the underwater ledge, not caring that my pants and shirt are now soaked.

"Sir your clothes-"

"Can be dried," I brush her hair out of her face. "I won't hurt you as long as you don't break my rules."

"Rules?" She crosses her arms like a child and I bite back an amused look.

"Yes, rules. Don't run, listen to me when I tell you to do something, do not hurt others or yourself, and do not tell anyone that I am not a complete ass to my servants. I have a reputation to keep," she nods and I reach over and grab some soap and start to lather her body. making sure to get all the dirt off her.

"Do you wash all your maids like this?"

"No, the guards usually do," a small, dark smirk crosses my face as I look up at her. Her face goes pale and she looks away.

"They make me uncomfortable... especially the guard that pulled me out of my house. He wanted to 'have some fun' with me," my jaw clenches and I busy myself with rinsing the soap off and starting on her hair.

"I'll deal with him later."

"Why me?"

"You have sweet blood..." a dark smirk lashes across my face as I pin her against the bath edge, lowering my head to her neck. I know I shouldn't bite her right now but the scent of her blood was too sweet.

Rhea POV

I quickly put my hands on his chest and bite back a whimper as my back hits the edge.

"D-doesn't that mean something?"

"It's rare," I feel his teeth graze over my neck, making me gasp. "Made a law that only high ranking nobles and royals can drink..."

"P-please... don't," I try to push him off, tears running down my cheeks.

He sinks his teeth into my neck and I can feel the blood running down my shoulder. I scream out in pain and dig my nails into his chest.

"S-stop please... I'm begging you," he pulls back with my blood running down his chin and neck.

"You taste so good, little one," a blush quickly spreads across my face as I look at him. He grabs my chin and smirks, making my face heat up more. A dark chuckle escapes his throat as he pulls his hand away.

"Finish washing your hair" He sits back down on the ledge and watches me, clearly not caring about the blood on his face and neck.

"No, I'm getting out and away from you."

"Disobey and I will drink again."

"Don't you dare fucking touch me," he moves forward quickly and pins me underneath him on the ledge, just barely holding my head above the water.

"I will drown you."

"Do it, I'm not scared to die," he pushes my head under and I desperately try to push him off, panic spreading through my body. He pulls me back up and smirks.

"Thought you weren't scared to die?" I cough up some water and catch my breath. "Now behave."

"Treat me well and I will," he raises his eyebrow and picks me up as he sits against the side wall, pulling me into his chest.

"How's this then?" he lowers his head and kisses the spot he bit earlier. It felt good but I wasn't going to give in. This was probably some vampire seduction trick.

"Why did you bite me?" I stay tense against his chest, keeping my body as far away as his grip allows.

"Your blood is sweet, so is your sister's."

"Don't you dare touch her."

"Not like you could do anything about it," he picks me up and holds me tight against his chest as he carries me into his bedroom and sets me on his bed. My jaw drops as he takes off his shirt and puts it on me. His body looks like it had been carved from stone, everything was perfect from his strong thighs to his broad shoulders.

Holy fucking shit he's hot!

I hear the door open and a maid, probably the same age as my sister, walks in. She seems rather comfortable entering his chambers without permission.

"Aww someone is being gentle," she smiles and he looks over his shoulder at her.

"Be quiet, Veres."

"And grouchy," she whispers. I bite back a giggle as he glares at her. They're obviously close if he hasn't punished her for it.

I use the shirt to cover my thighs and grab the blanket in an attempt to cover myself completely. I look at him and give him my best 'don't fuck with me' look.

"Promise me you won't touch her or let her get hurt. I will do anything you want. I will behave and obey every command," that definitely got his attention. I can tell he's thinking over everything by the way his eyes drift down my body. Maybe I shouldn't have said 'anything'.

"I promise."

"Thank you," I rest my head on my knees as I take a deep breath.

"You need to get dressed," I watch as he walks into what I'm guessing is his closet.

"You ripped my clothes off me, I don't have anything."

"There's clothes on the bed for you, a maid brought them by while we were in the bath," he comes out dressed in dark purple and black dress robes.

"I can't wear those. Those are extremely expensive I-."

"Put. Them. On," his deep voice sent shivers down my spine. His voice alone can make me aroused.

I quickly put the dress on and looked at him, realizing we're somewhat matching in colors. I turn back to him and look him up and down as he fixes his cuffs.

"See something you like little one?" His stupid smirk is only making my face heat up more. First he catches me staring then he calls me little one. Damn him.

"N-no," I quickly look down as he walks over, my face a dark red. I feel his hand on my chin as he slowly lifts my head to make me look at him.

"I- um... maybe," I feel my face heat up more as he smirks, slowly leaning down. His breath ghosts over my cheek and neck as he whispers in my ear.

"Say it. Tell me what you're thinking."

"T-that I shouldn't be s-so turned on and attracted to you..." I cover my mouth quickly as I look at him. He straightens up quickly and lets go of my chin.

"As long as you're around me you'll be under a vampire's seduction. Let's go," he turns on his heel and walks towards the door as if nothing had just happened.

Severus POV

I lead her down the hallway and collect her sister from her chambers. I make sure she is dressed to my satisfaction and walk down to the auction. A high noble sees me and walks over. I roll my eyes as I stop so he can talk.

"You're new servants have sweet blood..." I step forward to block his path from seeing them, knowing his history with women with sweet blood.

"They're mine, Lord Tupper. I suggest you get out of my way and keep your hands to yourself," I grab his wrist quickly and shove him back as he reaches for Lilah. "Do you not understand what 'they are mine' means?"

"So possessive. You never cared before, what changed?" he folds his arms over his chest as he looks at me.

"It doesn't matter what changed. Don't touch them, a dead servant is no good to me," my eyes flash bright red and he backs down immediately. I feel someone hold onto my hand and I immediately look down at the girl.

"We're okay. Can we please just go.." I swear this girl will be the death of me. Maybe I should back off with the seduction a bit before things go too far.

"Let go of me," she steps closer and squeezes my hand.

"S-she touched you without permission!" I look around and see a shocked look on everyone's faces. I rip my hand free and glare at her.

She frowns and glares back at me, pushing through the crowd as she holds her sister close. I follow after them and whisper into her ear when I get close.

"Just listen and this will go smoothly," she looks at me and rolls her eyes.

"After you just growled at me when I was trying to get out of here without you killing anyone."

"You do realize that I have a reputation to keep so I will act differently outside of my chambers," I push past them and motion for the guards to open the gates.
