His Majesty's Devious Sins-Chapter 152 - Pick Me

Adeline couldn't even hear the water. Her heart was racing incredulously. Her heartbeat roared in her ears, drowning out the sound of the powerful water pressure. She held her breath whenever he brought the loofah to a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e spot.

It didn't help that Elias was standing behind her, holding her left hip and sensually cleaning her with the loofah. His breath tickled her ears, his arm slowly moving down her body. She gulped at the sight of his pale arm, ripped with muscles, and the veins that popped out of his forearm.

"You're teasing me," Adeline blurted out, wishing this torture would just end already.

Adeline heard his breathy chuckle, the loofah dipping to her intimate area. The water was warm, but her body was burning with his touch. Ever so slightly, his fingers would graze her moistened skin, teasingly stroking her.

"I am simply cleaning you," Elias whispered into her ear.

Adeline shivered at the sensation, jumping when his finger brushed her c.l.i.t. She whimpered when his middle finger slid in between the lips underneath. She could practically imagine his arrogant smirk before actually seeing it.

"I can clean my body by myself," Adeline snapped, grabbing the loofah from him.

But he slid his hand down her legs, lining her body with bubbly soap. She gritted her teeth, feeling like she was going to lose her mind from this torture. She jumped when something warm touched her neck. He licked the spot on her neck where her pulse was the strongest.

Adeline realized the only warm parts of Elias's body were his tongue, mouth, and sheath.

"Hm, you can barely stand. I don't think you will be capable of helping yourself." Elias kissed the side of her neck, pressing his lower body against her spine. Her body tensed, and he heard the quickening of her heart. Cute. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

"But I know a spot you'd be able to help," Elias murmured, his hard-on poking her in the lower back.

"Your horniness is what got us into this situation in the first place," Adeline hissed at him. She shoved his hand off of her, refusing to be seduced in the bathroom. If he wanted a piece of her, he better accept all of her, and that included the child.

Elias softly chuckled. She was incredibly stubborn, but he loved that part about her too. He grabbed her hand, but she spun around and he frowned.

Adeline was already showing. There was a slight bump to her stomach, which wasn't a surprise given how fast vampires m.a.t.u.r.ed. It also didn't help that she was pregnant with a Pure-Blood child.

By now, its magic should be developing, and Adeline had already borrowed its power and strength. How else would it be able to explain her extreme strength to shove him away?

"Adeline," he coaxed, lacing their fingers together.

Elias pulled her closer, but she remained rooted to the shower tiles. He stepped towards her, and she stepped back. Soon, her back hit the wall and he cornered her there.

"I do not need an heir, I only need you," Elias whispered.

Elias bent his head and softly kissed the side of her head. "This child is hurting you already. If you think this is bad, then you're not ready for the truth. The pain is only going to worsen by a hundredfold."

"You act as if you've been pregnant before," Adeline snapped at him.

Adeline pulled her hand back, but he found something else to grab onto. He gripped her h.i.p.s, his lips finding their way to her cheek.

It was so difficult to ignore his temptation. Elias treated her gently, a quiet seduction in the steam. The water fell off his body, droplets sliding down his toned muscles.

Adeline gulped, her gaze following a particular droplet of water that slid from his hard c.h.e.s.t down his washboard abdomen, and then towards his prominent v.

Elias frowned down at her. "I've witnessed enough vampire births to know the mother suffers the most. The birth of that child will ruin you from the inside out. Even if you are the mother, you're still human, and because of that, the monster will devour you."

"Then why didn't you turn me into a Pure-Blood?" Adeline demanded, shoving him off of her. He grabbed her wrists and kissed them. Her breath hitched when he made direct eye contact with her.

His ruby gaze burned, like a flame in the depths of hell. He was intensely staring at her, his face memorizing every inch of hers.

"I love the humanity you have," Elias murmured. "The pulse of your veins, the flush of your pale skin, the warmth of your touch, the light in your eyes. I love your humanity far too much to ruin it."

Adeline's heart raced. She glanced away, unable to understand how he could be so selfish. "And I love the eternity we could've spent together. The immortality you'd give me, the years ahead of us."

Elias's frown deepened. "There will be many years ahead of us if you get rid of this child, darling."

"No."

"Adeline—"

"Get out, I'll shower on my own," Adeline snapped.

Lately, her temper wasn't at its finest. She grew irritated more easily, and every little thing got on her last nerves. Elias included. Usually, she had the most patience for him. But lately, he was being so irrational and stubborn.

Elias let out an irked sigh. "We'll continue this discussion later. For now, let me help you, darling."

"No, don't touch me!" Adeline huffed, prying herself away from him.

When Adeline had her wrists back, he slammed his hands on either side of her head. She jumped, her eyes going wide at his audacity.

Adeline was surprised by how gentle his gaze was.

"I won't seduce you anymore," he suddenly said.

"Tell that to your large friend," she hissed, pointing at the risen tower.

"You think it's large?" he teased, his lips curling into a smirk.

"You're so aggravating," she scoffed.

Adeline pushed him away. He briefly wavered and she bent down to pick up the fallen loofah. When she rose back up, her head felt dizzy.

Adeline stumbled over her footing and would've slid if it wasn't for Elias's quick reflex. He grabbed a hold of her waist, his eyes wide and panicked.

"Careful, darling," he murmured in a soft, gentle voice. But then he paused. "Actually, if you plan to fall, do it directly on your stomach."

At this, Adeline shoved him. He staggered backward, his gaze fixated on her. She shakily looked away, realizing she had unwillingly borrowed the power of her child.

"That thing already has monstrous powers," Elias murmured. "How can this be… the experiment shouldn't be hereditary."

"Experiment?" Adeline whispered, her head snapping towards him.

"I'll tell you if you get rid of that thing."

"Then, I never want to know."

"Elias—"

"Choose me, Adeline," Elias coaxed, his lips pressed against her ears. He hugged her deeply, ignoring the water that fell upon both of them.

"Pick me, not the child," Elias begged. He kissed the side of her head, his grip tightening around her. "Please."

Adeline's gaze softened. She placed a hand over his arm. "I'm sorry, Elias, but I can't."
