Immediately the door closed. Bella hung her head low, she was anxious to be left alone with him.
"Look at me."
Blade said, his voice alone was causing her to shudder.
She hugged her head low, she was not ready to stare into the eyes of the pure-blooded vampire, someone the goddess had termed to be her mate.
She heard an animous growl, which ripped out from his throat, and quickly, she backed off to the wall.
His growl caused her to shudder with fear.
Blade stopped slightly, he hated the fact that she was still scared of him. He had given her enough time as she had demanded, yet she was scared of him.
"Were you forced to bring the dish to me?"
Blade said he wanted to be sure she had come on her own accord and not been forced to do what she never intend to do.
Quickly Bella waved her head, why would the vampire king think she was forced.
"I was not forced, instead I came on my own accord."
Bella said, still bowing her head low, she did not have enough courage to stare into those deep dark eyes of his.
His eyes always cause this unknown effect on her.
She had come to notice that any time she stared into those deep blue eyes, she get lost in his stare for a while.
He was affecting her no doubt, and there was what she had been trying to avoid, she was not ready to accept him, not him not anyone. She was still the broken girl who had been raped by her first mate.
"I hate the fact that I still scare you. Do I scare you to the extent that you look down when you speak with me?"
Blade said, unknowingly, he had taken a few steps towards her.
Bella raised her head, surprised to see him too close to her.
"I came willingly, I was never forced to send your meal to you."
Bella said, his cologne was driving her crazy because she realized that her breath was becoming heavier and heavier.
He was affecting her no doubt.
Blade smiled slightly, he knew how much he was affecting her. This alone, gave him hope that she will finally open up to him, he will give her a lot of space as she wants but he wondered how long he would keep up with her rules.
"Fine then, hand the dishes to me."
Blade said, quickly Bella ran to the door, she had been lost her mind for a while that she did not remember her main purpose of coming to his office.
Quickly she walked back to the office, handing the dishes to him.
When she gave him the dishes, her fingers touched his, She felt a shudder pass through her body. And quickly, she left his hold.
Blade took the dishes, staring at her one more time, he walked to the table, there was no way he would reject a food given to him by his mate.
Bella watched as he opened the dish, there was one thing which she needed to accomplish, which was making him celebrate his birthday.
She had asked him to stay far away from her, but here she is, asking for a request.
"King Blade."
This was the first time she was calling his name out loud, and for the first time, his name sounded foreign on her lips.
Blade froze when he heard his name from her lips, he could not believe that his name would ever sound so sexy and sweet on her lips.
He needed to hear her call his name more often.
He continued eating, pretending he never heard his name from her lips.
Bella stared at the vampire king, there was no way a vampire-like him did not hear her.
She breathed slightly, for the sake of the vampire queen and Kurt, the good kind brother of her mate.
"King Blade!"
Bella said, this time raising her voice, her face reddened with embracement when she saw the king looking up at her.
Blade smiled lightly, he could not believe that this cute mate of his was becoming bold.
"Yes you called, what can I do for you, Kitty."
Blade said, watching as she twisted her fingers together.
He had come to notice something typical about her. She twists her fingers anytime she is nervous.
Bella was confused and frustrated, confused at the fact that she did not know how to start the conversation that relates to his birthday, and frustrated at the fact that the queen had placed her in a position like this.
Bracing herself up.
"I wish you can celebrate your birthday."
Bella said, she internally smashed her head on the wall at the dumb speech she made.
Blade stared at her for a while.
"I mean, your mother informed me you disgust celebrating your birthday, and I kind of wondered why you do not celebrate it."
Bella said, hoping she was not speaking out from the topic. She was rambling a lot in her speech and she hoped he understood what she meant.
"Birthdays are things everyone wished to, not everyone is lucky to have someone who wants them to celebrate their birthdays."
Bella said, adding more gibberish to her words.
