Guilty All The Same (English)

15 - Near, but distant

Yurika sat on the bed and took off her shoes, massaging her feet. As nice as dancing could be, doing it while wearing heels wasn't too pleasant if it went on too long. She sighed. She had asked the vampire to dance more, and now she was paying the price. Why was she willing to make her feet ache? The answer was quite simple. The more days went by, the more she enjoyed the vampire's company and the hours they spent together. The girl preferred to dance with him, mostly because the activity involved some closeness between the two and limited contact, but the thing she loved most was being bitten by Ferid because in those moments the vampire truly held her close. And she couldn't deny how good that made her feel. She assessed the condition of her feet, but then decided to go to the library anyway; this time she wanted to read something different, she didn't want a book about weapons and demons, she wanted something more romantic.

Yurika looked around disconsolately. "Kurena... How do you think I can figure out where to find a specific book?" "Ask Ferid, he'll answer for sure." Yurika huffed and started looking at some books in the corner. The very idea of asking Ferid where to find a romantic book made her quite embarrassed. "Ugh." Yurika mumbled, running her fingers over a book. 

"Good evening, my little sheep... Is something ailing you?" The girl's heart began to beat faster upon hearing the vampire's voice. She turned slowly in his direction. He noticed with pleasure that he was wearing a simple shirt, a simple shirt that outlined his perfect body. "It wouldn't hurt if he took it off?" The demon's voice echoed, making the girl blush. "No." Yurika answered decisively, more to Kurena than Ferid. The vampire approached her and the girl stepped back against the books. Ferid put one hand next to Yurika's head and slid the other down the girl's neck, making her shiver. "I'm thirsty... Would you mind offering me your blood?" Yurika hinted a yes with her head, but Ferid pulled away from her. "Come, let's make ourselves comfortable." He told her as he sat down on the couch. 

Yurika made to sit next to the vampire, but he took her arm stopping her as he placed his other hand on his legs. "Come here Yurika." The girl watched the vampire's legs for a long moment, then decided to sit on him, red as a beetroot. Ferid smiled as he watched her. His Yurika was adorable and beautiful. He could hardly get tired of her. And that was a big trouble for him, but he preferred not to think about that for now. "Don't be shy." He pulled her closer and she placed her hands on his chest. The vampire brought his head to the girl's neck, licked her skin and sunk his canines in, clamping a hand on her waist. Yurika bit her lip, trying to suppress a moan, then clutched the vampire's shirt and laid her head on his. That brief initial pain was always replaced by a feeling of pleasure, and it felt even better when the vampire held her like this. She wished those moments could last forever. Even for Ferid that was a moment to be exploited, he couldn't always hold her like he did on those occasions and, this time, when he finished, he couldn't resist and gave her a kiss on the neck. Yurika was surprised by that gesture and, taken by a sudden tiredness, she laid her head on the vampire's shoulder. Ferid was concerned to see her let go like that. "Are you alright?" He asked her. "Yeah." Yurika sighed, feeling the vampire's arms wrapping around her body. Yurika slid a hand down the vampire's chest and Ferid felt a shiver at that touch. He swallowed. No one had ever had that effect on him before. The girl remained in that position for a moment, then slowly rose to her feet. "Sorry." She whispered, looking down. "Don't worry about it. Maybe it was my fault, I guess I went too far." Yurika stood up from the vampire's legs, but as she did so, she felt slightly dizzy from blood loss. Usually Ferid bit her in her room, this was the first time he'd done it outside and she wasn't sure if she'd be able to reach her unscathed. The vampire hurried to his feet. "I can take you back." And he approached her, but Yurika backed away. "No! I can walk by myself!" She blurted out. "Yurika, I'm saying this for you..." "Ferid, please. I'll go alone." The vampire sighed. "Can I at least accompany you? That way if you need me, I can help you." "You'd still come, right?" Yurika asked. Ferid smiled at her. "Of course. Come on, let's go. You first." And the two walked side by side.
