Archdemon Empress Luna
****************************
Luna suddenly heard rattling of chains before it shattered into pieces.
She watched, horrified, as the tiny metals sizzled after they struck against the emerald walls, producing smoke that smelled slightly like rotten eggs.
The Vampire King had broken the manacles attached to his left hand while his other hand clutched her wrist so hard that if she wasn't an Archdemon, he could have easily snapped it like a twig.
The arm that he held trembled in fear as she stared into Apollyon's blood-red eyes.
Luna's silver eyebrows shot up in surprise as she tried to recoil from him.
Touching him had caused electricity to jolt through her and she knew she wasn't the only one who felt it.
It had been a long time since she had to calm him down whenever he became too wild.
He wasn't the man she used to know in the past.
"You! You aren't getting out of here not until I see your face."He growled as he concentrated on her. "You want me to know who you are but how can you expect me to recognize you when I don't know how you look like?"
"My voice should be enough for you to recognize me." She replied weakly. Luna was starting to lose strength simply by interacting with Apollyon. "Please release me."
He tested the restraints against his remaining arm and legs but it didn't budge.
Apollyon gathered his strength and did it again but nothing happened.
He winced in disappointment.
"Why can't I destroy the rest?' He cursed under his breath. Apollyon had shoot daggers with his eyes and Luna had willingly accepted them. "I can't let you go but I promise I wouldn't hurt you. I'll set you free if you set me free."
Luna shook her head in regret. "I can't."
"Then, stay with me until someone else finds us here."
"Please don't force me like this, Apollyon." She pleaded in a whisper.
When his free arm circled her hips, Luna's arms flailed in the air as Apollyon lifted her body swiftly.
She ended up straddling his waist as he laid in bed, her thin legs tangling against his long muscular ones.
Panicked, Luna scrambled to move away from him but Apollyon pulled her even closer that her breasts were resting against his chest.
His bulky biceps kept her imprisoned in his constricting embrace that all she could do was hold unto his shoulders.
He hadn't even recognized who she was but he had dared to take liberties with a supposed stranger when he already a wife.
Yes, she was the wife he couldn't remember but the Vampire King had really pushed this too far.
Apollyon's warm lips grazed against the shell of her ear. "I feel.... there is something about you. Your scent. The sound of your voice tugs at my heartstrings."
Silence---the comfortable kind---stretched in the atmosphere.
Apollyon's pale skin underneath her fingertips felt warmer than normal.
As she inhaled his wonderful masculine scent, her breathing turned shallow from its drugging effect.
Luna made the mistake of resting her ass against the ridge of his hard cock underneath the blankets because she was tired of holding herself up.
However, she tried her best to stay put, suppressing the urge to tease him by rubbing her quim against his prick.
"What kind of link do we have between us?" Apollyon's suspicious gaze had turned colder yet the hand lazily tracing the curve of her spine was warm.
Upward.
Downward.
Upward.
Before his sensual caresses drove her nuts, Luna tried to grasp their mind link to see if she could but it snapped every time she did.
That was another wild guess from Apollyon.
The fact that she wasn't able to connect with him through it meant that he had no idea what he was talking about.
She tilted her head and chuckled.
"You don't really know who I am." She said hoarsely as her long fingernails gently scratched one of his exposed nipple. "You are just pressing for more information."
His sculpted cheekbones had darkened and it made her wonder if it was from arousal or it was because he was still flustered from the slap earlier.
Luna wasn't going to tell him who she was until he realized that himself.
"Stop the charade and tell me who you are, My Lady."
His gaze was full of heat this time.
She knew it wouldn't make a difference but she tried, anyways.
"You should know that I'm someone special."
"Well, I don't remember you."
He was frustrated even as he said it.
Still, she wasn't prepared to hear that blunt response.
"We had children together. I had given birth to them on the day I had lost you. I couldn't find your soul anywhere. I tried every solution I could come across to wake you up." She insisted as she swept his dark hair from his wide forehead. The dark strands felt thick and silky between the space of her fingers. "I didn't think that anything I did so far could bring your missing memories back."
"I--"
"I'm sorry for being such a useless mate."
Luna's hand on his hair slid to the cheek where she had slapped him earlier.
She caressed it tenderly before resting her hand back to his chest.
She looked away from him, her tears glistening like pearls at the corner of her lids.
Anger rolled off him like waves as if her presence in this chamber had caused a huge disturbance.
"Don't cry." Apollyon murmured as he lifted her chin with his finger, urging her to look at him again. "I don't want to see you cry."
Apollyon gently pressed his hand against the cloth covering the lower half of her face to dry the tears running down her cheeks.
"I apologize but I can't seem to believe all the things you said just now. There is no way I would find my mate without my knowledge. As far as I remember, I am not interested in picking an Empress from my collection of concubines."
