Chapter 472: Together in the Imperfection
Chapter 472: Together in the Imperfection
Elliot's paternal instincts are quickly destroyed by Lucien's dominant aura. The poor man knees as he drops his sword. "Forgive me; I'm so sorry!!"
Heike can't speak, while Neal can't even scream in pain. But Rose doesn't take the knife out of his hand as she looks at her father. "I'm done with this shit!!"
Daisy is silent to let Rose handle the situation, so she continues. "You always tried to control me, and I didn't care, but now… now you're trying to push me away from the man I love."
"But you can't change it, Dad..." She sighs. "I chose Lucien, and nothing can change it; I won't let anything separate me from him."
She looks at Neal with a sad expression before continuing to talk to Heike. "I shouldn't have to prove to you that he's perfect for me, and neither will I do it. But I won't let you push me to another man."
Rose's hands don't shake as she shows her fangs to her father. "If you suggest or even think of me with another man besides Lucien, I'm going to kill them. Not because I need to do that, but because I want to. And if you really consider Neal as your son, you'll stop this shit!"
Heike can't think straight as he's terrified because of Lucien's aura. But Elliot starts to beg. "Please, Lady Daisy, Lady Rose, spare my son! None of this is his fault... I always trusted Heike and let him influence Neal, but that was never my intention. I never thought he was worthy of you."
"Rose... my daughter... don't do it, please." Heike stops thinking only about his needs and regrets putting Elliot and Neal in that situation. He can see that Rose could actually kill the poor boy for his mistakes, which scares him.
Rose has never been so angry before. All she wanted was for her father to get along with her husband. But she won't allow anyone to humiliate Lucien, ever.
She dematerializes the daggers and pushes Neal towards his father. "Get out of here, NOW!"
The young prince's blood runs down from the wound in his hand, but that is not fatal. Elliot forces his son to kneel along with him as he continues to bow. "Thank you so much!! And please, forgive us."
Elliot quickly leaves the castle with Neal without holding any grudges. He feels that everything that happened was his fault for letting Heike take that madness too far, and all he wants now is to get away from Lucien, Rose, and Daisy.
But in the dining room, the atmosphere remains tense. Heike looks at Rose with a sad expression. "You've changed so much... I don't recognize my little princess anymore..."
"No, Dad…" She shakes her head. "I've always been like that... a bloody vampire. But you never wanted to see me like that way; you tried to dress me up as your little princess and make me change, but Lucien set me free."
"I guess so..." Heike also looks at Lucien with a sad expression. Then he looks at Daisy. "Do you feel that way too?"
Daisy looks hesitant, which only makes Heike feel worse. "I think you just don't accept what we are."
"..." Heike feels very bad and confused. Then he looks at Lucien once more before walking out of the dining room.
Rose sighs as she sits down again. Then she looks at Lucien. "Sorry about this mess… it shouldn't be like this."
"I found it pretty wild, hahaha..." Donna laughs, trying to lighten the mood.
The girls smile, including Rose. She feels so relieved to be able to act like she really wants and unleash all the frustrations she's always harbored deep in her heart.
Lucien approaches her, hugs her from behind, and kisses her neck. "You don't have to apologize for anything, my love."
Her mouth looks for his lips, begging for his blood in a delicious bloody kiss. But before that, he looks at Daisy. Do you think we can put an end to this problem now?
Daisy is confused too. She is feeling different emotions while having different thoughts. "I'm not sure about that..."
Lucien understands that, but he knows that if Heike is left alone now, he will continue to feel bad, abandoned, and betrayed, which will result in another situation like that.
"Alright, I'll talk to him then." He speaks.
"You do not have to do this." Rose takes Lucien's arm.
He caresses her face. "I'm just going to talk to him; explain that we're a family now, and we can resolve these differences peacefully."
"Okay." Rose lets Lucien go despite wanting to be with him now. She's happy that he always tries to do the best for her, even when it's not easy for him.
Daisy watches Lucien leave the dining room while she doesn't know what to do. Then she looks at her daughter, and Rose smiles at her. The mature vampire feels a mix of happiness, anger, and jealousy, which leaves Amelia, Donna, and the Sins confused.
"I gotta go." Then she follows Lucien, leaving Rose with a strange expression on her face.
Rose feels a hand touch hers and realizes it's Angela, smiling gently at her, as do Lucien's other wives. "We are with you."
-----------------------------
In the hallway, Lucien continues walking as he hears Daisy's hurried footsteps. He can also hear the accelerated heartbeats of the mature vampire, but he doesn't stop walking.
'Help me, Lust...' He mentally speaks to the one he trusts the most. 'Tell me what to do because I'm not sure which is the best way.'
Lust understands Lucien's feelings and thoughts better than anyone else. But she also doesn't want to influence his decisions. 'I hate to say this, but I think that mysterious woman in your dreams was right.'
'Really?' He remembers the woman who told him about brainwashing and other things.
'Yes.' Lust explains. 'She told you always to follow your heart's desires and not let other people influence you too much. I think this is the path we are on, and this is a better way to be the lust sin than I could ever do myself.'
'My selfish desires...' He thinks.
'And lustful...' She completes.
'Thank you, my love.' Lucien responds and then stops walking.
Daisy stops walking when she arrives right behind him. She doesn't know what to do as she is very confused, upset, worried…
"If no one goes to talk to him, he'll just feel worse, and that won't be good for anyone." Lucien comments.
"Can you stop worrying about everyone just for a moment?" Daisy asks as she moves closer to Lucien. "Heike is already an adult and responsible for his own mistakes."
"Of course..." Lucien turns and smiles at Daisy. "So, what's the problem that is making you feel this way?"
She gets even closer to him until there are only a few inches between their bodies. Due to the height difference, she should look up to see his face, but she prefers not to look at his eyes now, and the view of his chest is pretty nice.
"You saw the problem..." She explains. "My husband doesn't accept me for who I am... he's disgusted by me. It's always been like that... I thought his loyalty would be enough to keep our marriage. I wanted a good father for my child, and he seemed to be the right person..."
"Heike loves Rose; I have no doubts about it. He's just very stubborn about some things." Lucien comments.
"I know he loves her, but it alone doesn't make him a good father." She responds. "He also doesn't accept what she is and is disgusted by her true nature."
While Lucien can't deny Daisy's sad words, she continues. "But I am not concerned about my daughter, not anymore."
"She's met a man who totally accepts her..." Daisy starts stirring with Lucien's shirt. "A man who takes care of her, who satisfies all her needs and desires... I actually envy her."
"..." Lucien doesn't say anything while enjoying Daisy's natural perfume. Her personality, her body, her scent, and even her voice attract him as few women can. All his being craves the mature vampire very much.
Daisy feels a little bad for her actions, but she doesn't back down. She wants to be selfish for the first time, so her fingers slowly begin to enter Lucien's shirt and touch his chest directly.
"In these last several years, all I've thought about was what my family would be like after my death. I only cared about Rose and Heike... I didn't have time for my own needs." She continues.
She opens her hand inside Lucien's shirt and touches every part of his chest. "And now that I'm healed and well, I want to start working on my future."
"I still had hopes of fixing my marriage, but Heike just made it clear that he doesn't want to be the man who satisfies my desires and needs."
Daisy uses her other hand to caresses Lucien's hand. "I'm very fragile right now... I thought I was a strong woman who could handle everything on my own, but the truth is that I need a partner I can trust on... I need a man who loves me the way I am..."
"You already have it." Lucien speaks as he quickly places his hands around Daisy's waist and presses her body against the hallway wall.
Then he kisses her lips passionately.
Their lips touch, and waves of pleasure run through their bodies. Both are immediately addicted to each other's scent and taste as they smash their lips.
Daisy quickly opens her mouth, and as if reading her mind, Lucien shoves his tongue inside it, initiating the real kiss.
"Mm~~!!" She couldn't contain her moans as she moved her hands over his back.
He moves his tongue dominantly around hers, exploring every part of her delicious mouth as he runs his hands over her body.
They continue to kiss passionately. That is so good as they both imagined so many times and now they feel incredibly marvelous.
Daisy is the first to run out of breath and moves her lips just an inch from Lucien's mouth as he continues to kiss her.
"Damn!! I promised myself I wouldn't fall in love with you." She says.
"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep." He comments as he moves his lips down, kissing her face, neck, and shoulders. Also, his hands caress her waist, and his fingers increasingly approach her ass.
She wants him to kiss every inch of her body, but right now, her mouth craves his more than anything. "It can't be helped... I'm a woman who doesn't settle for anything but the best, and you're the best."
Lucien lifts Daisy by the thighs to kiss her lips better as he forces his hips against hers, making them both feel their most private parts over their clothes. He is so hard while she is so wet.
"I've wanted you since the first time we met..." He kisses her as he holds the back of her neck with one hand and uses the other to caress her breast. "I wanted to take care of you so badly… not just because of Rose, but also because I'm so selfish."
Daisy feels so loved, so desired, and so complete. That's so good that she forgets everything else. Right now, all that matters is her, Lucien, and their bodies, touching and loving each other.
She speaks in a muffed tone between kisses and moans. "You are no more selfish than I am, the woman who craved her daughter's husband so badly..."
"We're both imperfect..." He comments as he continues kissing and touching her sexy body. Her curves are so perfect that he feels he doesn't really have control over his passion for her right now.
Daisy feels the same way. She knows it's very wrong to do that now and in the hallway. That could hurt Heike and Rose, but she can't contain the desires she's been holding back for so long.
"That makes us perfectly imperfect for each other..." She comments as she holds onto Lucien's horns and strokes his hair.
"I guess so." He smiles while kissing and biting her lips. Part of him wants to make the Blood Pact with her right now, and she feels the same.
