Vampire & Witch; The Shadows

22

                   ***DAISY'S POV***

Jason said I had disappeared for a few hours, but it had been days of accompanying the boy whom I learnt was Jason's younger brother(or had been). I had been in hell...literally.

   
     "You look, different!" Lucian observed.

"Was a long journey."

His brow peaked curiously. "To where?"

Should I tell him? But this no longer concerns him...yet again, the demons are after his kind. No Syin, they're balancing the system. I mean something has to be after these bloodsuckers as they are after Syrans and humans.

  "What are you hiding from me?" He demanded, his eyes taking on a darker shade of seriousness while he lifted my chin to him. "Where were you?"

I couldn't help but get lost in the depths of those twins. Strange as it was admitting, they gave me a bit of assurance and inflicted something warm inside my chest. The time I had spent with him, cruel as it was, made me grow up and make decisions to aid my survival.

      The warm glow inside my chest rose to my brain and infected it with blindness of actions. And before I could think what I was doing, my toes had risen and I had leaned in for a kiss.

  Yes, I kissed the bad vampire, on my own.

I caught Lucian by surprise, but he didn't shun me away. He allowed my hands to pull his head down to my level and my lips to engage his.

It was a moment that would forever be engraved in my heart, this was the first time I was kissing Lucian without him doing it first. It was a moment that my heartbeats were in rhythm with the emotion I had been suppressing...I just might be in love with him.
     Yes, I knew it sounded stupid and that all odds were against it. But, I wanted to enjoy that tiny moment, be true to myself, before I could leave their realm.

   Slowly, I cut the kiss, settled my feet fully on the ground while my breathing fought to level up.

He wasn't saying anything. His eyes, oh! I never seen that spark ever before in any other person. It wasn't anger or resentment, something more in the line of confusion and adoration.

    "What was that?" He asked in a low defeated tone.

  Was there a simple answer to his question? No!

My eyes lowered to his chest as I pressed my lips together. That was so embarrassing and awkward. Not forgetting that Daisy was still in the picture, a fact that had escaped my mind a minute ago as I had been drowning in the warmth and wetness of his mouth.

    "I'm sorry!" I whined as I plunged forward to dash past him while the tears blurred my vision.

  His hand grabbed my arm then whirled me around and back lie against the tree. "And where are you going?" Lucian hissed as his right hand curled at my neck but not in an aggressive way. "What spell are you casting on me, huh?"

Damn!
The red in his eyes was terrifying, or used to be. Seeing it so many times had had me change my perspective of it, now it looked sexy.

    "The second I tasted that drop of blood, I knew I had to find you, had to protect you...had to, make you mine."

His words were supposed to scare me, yet they made me want to throw myself in his arms and stay there forever. They made me oblivious to everything, or even where we were or supposed to be doing.
  
  "I thought it was because you're a pure witch, but I've met your minions and they didn't intrigue me as you do." His hiss had dissolved into a low deep whisper that was stirring my heart.

Lucian leaned down to stare directly in my eyes, hoping I would break and admit that I had put a spell on him... But all I could think of was the taste of his kiss again, the soft and delicate kiss that we had just shared. Forbidden st it was, my body had reacted different to it. Made me want to feel more than just his lips.

              "Tell me!"
His voice, oh!

What was happening to me? Why couldn't I resist the pull?

"No spell!" I whispered back to his face.

A low growl came from deep in his throat before he gathered me in his arms with the left hand. With his right palm, Lucian cupped my face. "You're lying! I've never felt like this before all my years. Tell me now or I'll-" his fingers traced my jawline and down to the side of my neck, "-bite you...right now!"

Yes! Bite me! Drink my blood and have me as you have been craving.

    "Why would I lie to you? You can listen to my heart beating, what does it say?"

The hand curled my neck once more, forcing my head to angle to the sky. I wanted it, wanted him to sink his fangs in my warm neck and drink to his fill. Strange, wasn't it?

  "Is this a trap?"

I laughed to his words. "If it is, then we both have fell in it."

"Mmmm!" Lucian groaned lowly.

He didn't speak any further, only his hand, that continued caressing my neck and face, waiting for the trap to close in. But all that touching was lighting a fire under my skin and between my legs.

    The Syran custom required the female to preserve herself, be chaste for her future husband.
But here on the human realm, they didn't have such a tradition. It was okay having sex without being married. Tempting.

And that is what was happening to me, the raw desire to be with a man body to body, skin to skin. Not just any man... Lucian.

        For those few seconds I had spaced out as I pictured the look on mother's face if she found out I was with a blood race, I had missed Lucian making his way under my dress and panties. I felt him a little too late as he slid a finger in my womanhood.

A deep gasp exploded from me, which he quickly took care of with his lips.

         "You're so wet...is that for me little bunny?" He asked, pushing my head into his chest.

Of course it was for him. My entire body had surrendered to him minutes ago.

    Yet, words could not make it out of my throat due to the new pleasure I was deriving from under there...from Lucian's hand.
