MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON
Chapter 78
Freda’s POV
I lay on the massage table, covered by a warm blanket. Lisa, the
therapist, entered. A male had arrived before Lisa, but Damien had
shooed him off. He couldn’t believe a male was a massage therapist
and couldn’t let him touch me.
Christie stayed beside me like she would learn from Lisa too.
“Hello, my queen. Today’s focus is relaxation and easing any
discomfort.”
I believed Lisa was trained enough to understand she wouldn’t
mention being here for an after–sex massage. I didn’t want to feel
embarrassed in front of both ladies.
Lisa’s skilled hands began with gentle strokes on my lower back. “Let me know if the pressure’s okay.”
I nodded, feeling tension melt. The thought of Damien crossed my mind again as Lisa targeted my glutes and thighs.
“That feels amazing,” I whispered.

Lisa smiled. “Good. Now, let’s work on your abdomen.”
With gentle circles, Lisa eased my abdominal tension.
“Your body’s responding well.” She encouraged me. At some point, I
felt pain, but Lisa handled it professionally.
As the massage progressed, my breathing slowed. She incorporated deep breathing exercises. “Inhale deeply… hold… exhale slowly.”
My mind quieted. The massage concluded with gentle stretches.
“Take your time getting up.”
I slowly rose, feeling better than before. I walked a few steps further.
It felt good.
“Thank you, Lisa. That was incredible.”
Lisa smiled. “You’re welcome. Remember to stay hydrated. We’ll do
this more often until you’re completely okay.”
I felt relaxed, stretching also.
“And…” She paused as she started to leave. “Please avoid intimacy for now until your massage therapy is completed. We want to make sure

the soreness doesn’t worsen.‘”
I flushed at the mention of it, looking over at Christie, who had a
wide smile on her face. Lisa shouldn’t have said it out loud.
Or was it because these vampires were way older than me, and these
things didn’t fascinate them anymore?
Lisa walked out of my room, ensuring to give me some lotion and
medication to soothe my pain.
“Well, that was… something.” I said after she left.
Christie blushed. “Why do you smile, Christie?”
“It seemed you were shy to talk about it, my queen. But every
household heard your sounds yesterday. We all know what happened.”
I froze. “What? What sounds?”
Christie opened her mouth like she was about to demonstrate. I
stopped her. I didn’t mean she should get literal.
“King Damien sure did something to you last night. We hope he didn’t
hurt you too much.”

“What do you know about it, Christie?” I feigned ignorance as I paced
the room, trying to practice walking easily.
She giggled like a child. “I do know a lot about these things. At some
point, I was almost sold to the blood club by Lady Agatha. I was…
disciplined by someone I didn’t know and could only see his frame in
the dark. He kept coming back and insisted I use blindfolds. He never
spoke to me either–I only recognized his sounds.” She blushed. “He
gave me some experience, and I must say I enjoyed it.”
“I came back to the castle when Prince Damien ordered that ladies
below thirty years of age should not be in the blood club. That was
when I returned to the castle, with Lady Agatha mistreating me as
usual.”
I paused, my face softening but also amazed at Christie’s experience. I
didn’t know what emotion to express since she’d enjoyed what was
supposed to be… She hadn’t consented initially, but her face looked
radiant when she talked about it, and it made me feel like at some
point, she’d wanted it.
“I’m sorry all that happened to you.”
“It’s okay, my queen. I’m over that. It’s been a long time. I like
someone else now, and I wish to experience what you and the king
have with him also.” Her face turned red.

How could she wish for what Damien and I had? Damien and I were
just getting to know each other in preparation for our marriage.
There was never any courting or pre–existing connection. It just
happened.
“This man you speak of so sweetly? Is it Lady Agatha’s son?”
She nodded. Considering how she’d been treated by Agatha, I doubted
a bond could ever develop between these two. Even if it did, Agatha
would be the weapon fashioned against it.
“He gave me this the last time he visited.” She showed me a flowery
bracelet on her wrist. “I heard from the other maids that it cost a lot.
He’s an investment banker. He has a good job.”
“Do you think you want to tell him about your feelings?”
“No!” She snapped. “What if the gifts were just him being nice? If I
tell him, he might stop and stay away from me.”
“I don’t think so. He only gives gifts to you in the palace. I think he
likes you too.”
“That’s ridiculous, my queen. He’s way above me. The other maids are
speaking to Lady Agatha about courting him. I would never dare.”

“But he doesn’t give gifts to the other ladies.”
“He pities me. That must be why. I’m the only underpaid maid. Maybe he thought he could make up for his mother’s decisions.”
I nodded. “If you think that’s what it is, I’ll agree with you. But he’s a
nice man, and age is on your side.” I laughed after saying it,
considering she was a vampire, and youth was their thing.
She laughed also. “As a hybrid, I’ve been stuck at thirty for a long time
now.”
“Well, lucky you. It gets worse from there.” We both laughed.
