Everything was, in fact, on display as I walked through the corridor leading to the dining room with two ugly vampire guards trailing behind me. I knew they could see my ass fully, but I choked back the crippling embarrassment as I walked with my chin jutting toward the ceiling. Thankfully a thick shred of fabric hid the apex of my thighs, but that was all the modesty I’d been allowed. My breasts, which were huge and heavy because of my pregnancy, were barely covered by the black lace that hung loose over them, a long V of bare skin starting at my neck and going all the way to my belly button.

Penny had brushed and styled my hair, pinning it off of my face. She’d put makeup on me, dark shades of black, wine, and navy. The dark colors made me look especially pale, but maybe that was in style. I wouldn’t know, however. I hadn’t seen another woman in the castle other than Penny.

I didn’t wait for the guards to step in front of me to open the great double doors leading into the dining hall. I threw them open myself, using all of the strength I had to complete the task. They bounced against the stone walls in the corridor and sent a thundering echo through the castle, announcing my arrival.

Nikolas was sitting with his boots propped up on the table, a goblet of blood, or wine, in one of his hands.

“Spectacular,” he breathed, his voice laced with seduction.

I scowled, refusing to bow as I slid into my seat at the far end of the table.

I didn’t touch the food that appeared in front of me. I held Nikolas’s gaze, barely blinking. He was watching me with the same intensity, his violent, crimson-ringed eyes searching mine for glimpses of power… or weakness. It could have been both.

“What do you want now?” I asked, forcing myself to sound annoyed, and somewhat bored.

He arched his brows. “You’re not what I expected you to be–”

“You already said that,” I interrupted, folding my hands in my lap. Beneath the table, my hands grazed the faint swell between my hips that I’d only noticed a few hours earlier, before going to the library. I didn’t have much time to play games.

He seemed entertained by my tone, and maybe a bit turned on, which sent a shiver of apprehension down my spine. It was likely no one had challenged him like this before, at least not someone like me–someone lowly, a peasant in comparison to his rank, at least in this realm.

“What did you do today, my queen?” he drawled, crossing his foot over the other ankle.

“I went to the library–”

“And did you find it to your liking?”

“It’s rather dark–”

“No one has been in there in centuries. Perhaps we can find you a new outlet for amusement–”

“But, I met your librarian. He was dusting the shelves.”

Nikolas furrowed his brow, giving me a confused smile.

“I don’t have a librarian.”

“He was an old man,” I said sharply as another shiver ran down my spine.

“What was his name?”
