The Protagonists All Love Me

Chapter 17 Taken

Pressing his knees forward to separate her legs, her writhing against him was driving him mad already able to see her disheveled appearance on his bed.

The first woman tasted by the emperor.

Withdrawing his tongue slowly, making sure to be able to savour the taste of her sweetness, he reluctantly removed his mouth away from her. His hands grabbing her shoulder as he listened to the ragged breaths, looking into the bewildered moist eyes with obsession.

Blood stained fingers traced the blue-green veins on her neck which made her shudder, grabbing her naughty hand that wanted to push him away abruptly making him chuckle.

'The crazy bastard! Why are you kissing me?' 

Eira who felt a mixture of confusion and fear swallowed dryly, wondering how the hell it got to the point where the psycho emperor chose not to kill her for her rudeness.

But instead kissed her and gave her a look as if he hadn't eaten in days.

Pressing her hand on his oozing wound, her nose shrivelled up as she squinted her eyes at him with displeasure, the large gash immediately healing with a single touch.

No one noticing the faint blue mist that tangled around their legs, whilst a small pool of water was slowly growing bigger under Eira's feet.

'I never dated anyone and was basically a virgin in my previous life, I have a fairly modern mind sight and don't think that first kisses are all important-but why do I feel so upset?'

Tightening hands held her waist, he enjoyed the feel  the smooth and slender back as he burrowed into the crook of her neck. With the tip of his tongue, he traced the curve her neck from under her earlobe. The red hair draping over her front and shoulder like a blanket, wrapping her up tightly.

"You feel empty, then I'll fill you up." The emperor's aggressive voice lingering on her skin made the tips of her feet tingle, blinking helpless at his strange ambiguous words.

'That's not an... innuendo right? He's an emperor so he's always playing with peoples emotions, like a devious snake.'

"So much that it will naturally overflow." His whispers making her hold her breath.

Gasping his teeth bit crudely into her collar bone, biting back a scream, her body stiffened desperately tugging on his clothes as his sharp teeth tried to pierce her flesh to draw blood.

Strangely losing his grip on the woman who was trapped in his embrace and against the wall, he saw the mark he made into her perfect skin as well as the thoughtful eyes that were filled with shame.

Just when she suddenly vanished.

A lingering blue mist that only he could see as a contractor of a spirit, circled around him in ridicule before dissipating.

The small puddle cooling into fine ice crystals, just watching it making the burning heat immediately cool down.

"Helio that woman doesn't have a spirit." Licking his blood stained lips cleanly.

'I can absorb divine power even from a single touch, as well as from her blood.'

"It's not that no one wants to contract her...", he paused his gruff voice quietening. "They're being respectful because of the spirits of the king class."

"Where?"

"Contractor I can't sense her... which means that it could be a transcendent spirit King, only spirits of the god tier have their own domain."

Opening her eyes, she found herself in a dark ice cave. Her clothes miraculously different than previously wearing a white silk dress and barefoot, she smiled enjoying the familiarity.

The cold not affecting her one little bit.

Then she made a sound similar to a low growl and slapped her face with both cheeks, whispering to herself annoyedly. "That guy if you're hungry go and ask for something, just don't bite me!"

'Shit.' Touching the painful collarbone only to realise that the area was completely fine, free from teeth marks and blood.

A torrent of glacial wind blew towards her from the direction of the cave, the wind mercilessly flapping through her clothes and hair.

Covering her face with her hands when she felt a large ominous presence and a sound like the retraction of sharp teeth, a beast opening its mouth ready to enjoy its feast.

Carefully looking up her eyes widened, her heart rate almost stopping, wondering why the fuck were there so many situations where she didn't know what to do.

'Is this the situation where I scream for real now?'

A humongous snake, more like a basilisk covered the entrance of the cave with its body. Camouflaging itself Eira was unable to see it at first, the skin an almost transparent white, but then she noticed the obvious pink eyes staring concentratedly at her.

"After almost a millennia there is someone worthy of being my contractor." An eerie raspy voice echoed in her mind, like a person desperate for a sip of water.

A forceful feeling surged in her chest, watching through slow motion she saw the spirit lunge quickly at her, as if she had been stabbed.

Losing her balance she felt her falling body sink into the once hard ground where she had stood, not falling unconscious she felt a sensation similar to being buried alive. The thousand layers of ice and snow rubbing against her skin.
