36. but again

Warning: This chapter contains sensitive content.

Eudora was in utter shock as she took in the situation that she was in. Gord carefully distanced himself from her waiting for her reaction.

She lifted her right hand and brought it to her lips. The tingling sensation was still there; the friction and heat still prickling on the surface of her lips. She didn't know what Gord did to her but she was certain there was a name for what he just did.

"What... what did you just do?" She asked with a trembling voice and shaky hands.

Gord let out a cheeky grin and inched the distance between him and his shocked companion. "Well, Eudodo, I mean Eudorrr..ra," he said, with a slurred tone, struggling still to remember Eudora's name, "I just kissed you."

Eudora's eyebrows furrowed. She was beyond confused. She have never heard of the word kissed before. "You may have given me something evil. Something like a curse. Kissed me back to take the curse away!" She yelled, not fully aware of the use of the word that she just learned. She was not even aware that what she used was the past tense of the word kiss.

Gord did nothing but laugh so hard that his stomach started to hurt and his breaths became labored.

"Seriously? You don't know what a kiss is?" He asked once again, determined to find something to laugh about.

"Obviously, I don't because if I do know, I'd never ask!" She shouted, irritated and at the same time embarrassed for not knowing the meaning of such a short word.

She started to walk rapidly, away from Gord and his evil, irritating grin. It made Eudora look utterly stupid.

"Hey, don't go! Don't leave me! I just kissed you. That binded us forever! We aren't supposed to be apart!" Gord said, taunting her more and more.

Eudora quickened her pace as her face turned tomato red out from profound irritation and shame.

"Tell me what a kissed means!" She retorted, stomping her feet as she turned her back to face Gord.

Gord but again smiled and said: "If you want it so badly, well the pleasure is mine to give." As he crashed his lips unto Eudora's but again. This time it lingered. If it weren't for their limited breaths, they would have never stopped.

"Why do you keep on doing that?" Eudora asked once the kiss ended. "Are you sucking out my powers? Absorbing my energy?!" She snarled at his face, as tiny lightning volts sprung out from the palm of her hands

"Sucking out? Yes, I would call that sucking but hmm, not your powers. Definitely not your powers." Gord replied, mischievously letting out a smile as the corners of his lips twitched. It was the first time he ever felt naughty and playful in front of someone, let alone in front of a grown woman.

It was his first time uttering out innuendos and talking dirty.

"Well then, if you love doing it so much, I'd do the exact same thing to you." Eudora chimed as she grabbed Gord by the neck, forcefully bringing her lips towards his, with utter conviction and firmness.

Gord can only muster a small grin because, of course, someone's lips, some woman's lips was on his.

From a distance, Alice watched a romantic scene unfold in front of her. Her stare lingered for a bit and then dwindled gradually as she waited for the rightful moment to ambush the mages.

She was in dire need of blood and maybe perhaps, a kiss too.
