**Aesira POV**
Two weeks have passed since my arrival at Dracula's castle. Despite regaining my ability to walk, he's been avoiding me. Frustration boiling within, I slam my hands on the desk, startling Dracula. Softening his expression, he meets my gaze as I confront him. "Why are you avoiding me?" His response carries a hint of vulnerability. "I've been feeling emotions I haven't experienced since my last wife died," he admits, embarrassment evident.
Moved by the revelation, I reposition a chair in front of him, grabbing his hand. My cheeks flush as I hold his larger hand against my face, confessing, "I know it's wrong, but I've had feelings for you since the moment I saw you. I want to see where this leads, if that's okay with you." Embarrassed, I wait for his response. Dracula lifts my face with a hand on my chin, smiles, and leans in, gently kissing me. We pull away, and he places his hand back on my face. I touch my lips, confessing happily, "That was my first kiss."
As we share a second kiss, I wrap my arms around his neck, climbing into his lap. Pulling away, I express my desire to cuddle without rushing things. Dracula smiles, assuring, "Alright, my love, we don't need to rush into things." I smile back, cuddling into his chest, embracing the newfound warmth between us.
