<div class="floatleft"> (http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n534/MaidensElf/Ricardo.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Ricardo Medici<br/><strong>Race/Position:</strong>Royal vampire/Prince<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Chadenhoff<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>None, open<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The dark haired young looking man stirs in his California king sized bed as dusk starts to settle on the world outside the castle. He opens his eyes and smiles feeling the strength building in him as the sun sets. The black haired woman sleeping with her head on his shoulder and arm draped over his shoulder does not stir and looks peaceful in her sleep. He can smell her scent with lingering aroma of the love making they had engaged in just before the sun had risen. Despite having drank of her blood during their intimate actions he can feel his thirst beginning to build again and sound of flowing through her veins makes it oh so tempting for him to sink his fangs into her soft neck again. He however does not want to take too much from and really does not need to feed for another day or two. So instead he gently extracts himself from her embrace doing his best not to disturb the beautiful sleeping human woman. He sets up and stretches out to get his perpetually youthful body to move more freely after his day of sleeping. His long dark hair is barely messed by the day’s sleep and hangs down his back to just between his shoulder blades.<br/><br/>Ricardo rises from the bed to walk nude to his wardrobe. He slips his feet into a pair of black silk slippers and wraps a matching robe around his slim but defined body. He feels a slight chill in the air and although it does not bother him he knows that it will be mildly uncomfortable for the woman in his bed. So he picks up his remote control and with the push of a single button the fireplace roars to life. He smiles a little as this modern technology still amazes him and he is so glad that he has added gas and electricity to the old castle his father had built so many centuries before. With the fire burning nicely and quickly taking the chill from the room he grabs his Ipad and heads out into the sitting room. He sets on a luxurious velvet cover Chase lounge that is older than his 287 years before turning his tablet. He is checking the current states of the various businesses that Royal vampires own and he of course is CEO of to see how they fared while he slept.<br/><br/>The prince is mildly engrossed in reading the daily reports when the woman from his bed comes to stand in the doorway leading from the bedroom with just the sheet wrapped around her nude body. “Your Majesty, is everything alright?”<br/><br/>Ricardo does not even look up from the Ipad to reply to his slave girl. ”Everything is fine. Thank you for asking.”<br/><br/>“Sire, do you need anything from me this evening?”<br/><br/>”No, you can either go back to bed or go and get something to eat or whatever you servants do when you’re servicing one of us.”<br/><br/>The girl looks more than just a little dejected at the king’s dismissal, but she does turn back into the bedroom without a word. A few moments later she passes through the setting room mostly dressed and carrying what she is not wearing. She stops in front of the king and bows down before him. “Sire, shall I return here come dawn?”<br/><br/>The prince still does not look up at her and continues to navigate through different reports and emails as he speaks to the young woman. ”No, if I have need of somebody in the morning I will choose another slave. You may go, but put a red ribbon on somehow so my brethren will know that you cannot provide nourishment for any of us for a few days.” Again the girl is clearly not happy about being dismissed, but she stops in the doorway leading out of the king’s quarters and looks back at with a small smile as she realizes that despite his cold attitude he clearly cares at least enough that he does not want her hurt as he wants her recover from letting him feed from her before another vampire feeds from her.<br/><br/>Shortly after the slave girl has left Ricardo suddenly curses loudly as he reads an email from a Baker City police detective that is a loyal informant of his. The subject line simply reads “Vampire Slaying.” The body of the message is a full copy of the file regarding the recent death of one Harrison Bronk age 25. ”Damn those Outsiders! Every time they leave a corpse like that more humans become aware of us and the more humans know the greater danger we all are in both Royals and Outsiders.”
