Hellbound With You (WN)

Completely limp from the intensity of their love making, the newlyweds took minutes, just lying there basking in the aftermath and catching their breaths before either of them spoke.

"I can't believe you're such a beast." She chuckled softly. They were still wrapped around each other, unwilling to part.

The villa was so quiet and calm that the both of them could feel nothing but peace just being there. Kai stared down at her, his eyes glimmering in his flushed face. "You don't like it?" he asked playfully, despite knowing full well that his wife loved his roughness and wildness in bed. Her moans and erotic pleas to ravage her harder and deeper was still resoundingly fresh in his mind and he just felt incredibly pleased and could not help but sensed within himself the renewed twinges of arousal once again.

"Do I look like I don't like it?"

He shook his head as he smiled at her in a way that almost made her heart stop. Kelly returned his smile and then nuzzled herself closer to him, hugging him even tighter in the process. They were silent once again, both listening to each other's heartbeats – revelling in the simple fact that they are both alive, well and together, in the way that mattered most.

Kelly began to recall everything that happened – before, during and after the wedding, their honeymoon – when suddenly, Tristan's unpleasant face popped up in her mind, causing her to grimace and Kai arched his brows at her unexpected reaction. She didn't know why but a chill went through her just thinking about him.

"What happened to Tristan?" she asked, as a response to Kai's silent questioning. She then felt Kai's body tensed up and bristle a little. It seemed he didn't like hearing Tristan's name voiced out from her lips. Seeing Kai's reaction, Kelly felt slightly regretful as well, knowing that by the mere mention of that bastard's name was enough to ruin their peaceful moment. However, she needed to know. She wanted to know if everything was truly alright now. She threw Kai an apologetic smile and shrugged her bare shoulders, hoping he would understand the reason she needed to ask that necessary question.

Thankfully, Kai willingly spoke after a few moments. He told her everything that happened last night. How he kidnapped Tristan and forced him to give up his rights and shares in the Young's company. He also revealed to her that he used a scandalous information, that Ezekiel gave him, to blackmail Tristan.

Kelly was surprised because she knew how the Flynns deal with things when it is related to business. They were extremely careful, and they could also be described as perfectionists. That was why the Flynns' records were as white as snow – up till now, at least – despite all the dirty things they've been doing in the shadows. But then again, Kelly understood that there was no way any human could hide anything from a superior creature like Ezekiel. He would know anyone's deepest secret and use it against them. And even if he did not already know, it would be as easy as pie for him to find out all he needed to know.

"I threatened him to never cross paths with you or me or your parents ever again. But knowing him, he might continue his investigation." Kai continued.

"Investigation?"

"He is trying to dig into my background and my relationship with Zeke. I threatened him to stop because if he continues… Zeke will definitely deal with him. But it seems like he does not intend to heed any of my warnings. If he managed to find out something about the vampires, he'll die."

Kelly was silent. The bastard was an awful monster, but she didn't wish for him to be killed. She was thinking that maybe in the future, he'll change or regret his actions. However, Kai was right, knowing what kind of person Tristan was, it might already be too late and hopeless for him.

A long sigh escaped Kelly's lips. Now that she was certain Tristan was no longer a threat in her life, Kelly felt relieved. But then, suddenly, another important thing popped into her head again. "How about your family?" she asked, wide-eyed as she pulled away to look at him. "D-did they even know what you did? That you got married…" Kelly trailed off as she covered her lips with her palm.

She had forgotten that this man was a prince. A second-in-line to the throne of the whole vampire kingdom. Did they agree with Kai's decision to marry a human?! Could it be that they don't even know?

Seeing the odd expression on his face, Kelly stared at him intently before she sat up. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious because of the look in his eyes.

"Tell me," she whispered, and she saw hesitation in his body language as he sat up as well. "I want to know everything, Kai. I'm your wife now…" she urged again as her hand slipped around the nape of his neck.

"Did they even know that you married me? They knew, right? Everything's going to be fine, right Kai?" She added a wavery smile on top of her already weak voice. Kelly didn't know why but her heart began to feel something unpleasant.

Kai stared into her eyes, feeling her warm touches and despite his worry and hesitation, he could no longer withhold anything from her. He was worried to death about her reaction, but he knew she had the right to know everything as his wife. More so, she was intricately involved in it.

"Kelly… I'm…" he paused, taking her hand and rubbed it softly against his cheek. "They already knew."

She should've let out a relieved sigh, but she didn't. For some reason she couldn't – especially when he said it in that tone. So, she just looked at him, waiting for him to tell her more.

"My family are against it, but they could no longer do anything about it so…" he paused again, as he carefully watched her expressions. "They exiled me."

The shock was too much that Kelly couldn't even gasp. Utter disbelief simply filled her eyes.

"It's alright, love. Being exiled is not a big problem for me. The truth is… I personally think that it was the best course of action. Zeke gave me all the things he had left behind in this country so –"

"W-why? Why did they have to exile you? Y-you're a prince. You're their family."

Kai swallowed silently seeing the look on Kelly's eyes. He could see she was hurting for him. Her eyes began to glimmer with tears threatening to fall so he eased back onto the bed and drew her down into his warm embrace, giving comfort to both himself and her as well.

"Shhh…" He tightened his arms around her. "Hush, my wife. It's alright. You are my family now. And yes, they exiled me but they're still my family and I honestly don't think I'm an exile at all. Because you are my home now, Kelly. Exile or not doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm with you."

What he said made Kelly's heart feel so full, it was as if her heart would burst. She could hear his heartbeat and she felt utterly moved. She should've known. Their relationship was forbidden after all… of course, he must have had to sacrifice something huge in exchange…

"I love you, Kelly. Please know that I had never regretted anything… and I never will." He kissed her forehead and Kelly cupped his face and planted her lips on his, transmitting with everything that she had, all the passion and love she felt for her husband right at that moment. She made a silent vow deep within herself that she would love this man all her life. She would take care of him, please him, love him with everything she had.

"I love you, too, my husband… thank you for choosing me. I love you so much."

Before they knew it, the couple were again entwined in another intense love making session once again with Kelly being the one on top this time as she rode her husband with an intensity she never had before…

Not knowing that her beloved still withheld one more secret he had yet to reveal.

A/N: I know I said there's just one more chap but it seemed there's a couple more. ?
