Overlord: When Human Meets Inhuman

Chapter 46: All yours

Hey hey y'all, I'm back! :)

And just for reference, this takes place just after the events in chapter 45 :)))

"Mark…"

All the insecurity I had in me vanished, with that one hug. I still thought he hated me, for some reason, but I guess I was just being stupid. His blood is messing with my head...

I gently hug Mark back and I close my eyes to enjoy the moment. I can feel he's going crazy right now. But in a good way. 
"Yeah?" 

This still doesn't feel right for some reason…maybe it's because I've "loved" Lord Ainz for so much time, or maybe because this originated from the blood exchange. 

"This doesn't feel-" 
"Right?" He says interrupting me.

He read my mind. Not literally, but he did. Maybe my blood helped him a bit, I don't know. Since I've had his blood in me I've found it easier to figure out his thoughts and to understand the way he acts. 

"Yes, exactly." 

It's all happened so fast, and…maybe I'm just paranoid, maybe I'm still reluctant because of what I did, I don't know…

"And you think this feels right to me? Of course it doesn't. But this isn't something we can say no to…we're bonded with blood, and a bond forged with blood can't be broken easily. And I don't ever want it to be broken, to be honest…now that I've felt what it's like to…love you, I don't want to go back. I want you to be mine for as long as I live. And if that "for as long as I live" means forever, then so be it." Mark says decidedly, still holding me in his arms. 

Forever…that's a lot of time, to be honest. I don't really know if I'm ready for an eternity with Mark, but I also want to find out how it would be. Spending all my life with him, I mean.

"Mark, I don't know if I am ready to spend an eternity with you…" 
"But something tells you you want to." Mark answers convinced and breaks away, looking intensely into my eyes. And weirdly enough, I find myself blushing.

He's right, he's perfectly capable of understanding how I feel. And he also looks so damn attractive, with that look in his eyes...

"Yes, but-" 
"Stop posing yourself useless doubts. There's no other way. I love you, and I'm sure as hell you love me. It's time to stop fighting, Shalltear. We…you and I…I had Albedo run a test of the foreign blood percentage present in your body, and in mine. You want to know what percentage of your blood is still yours in there?" Mark finishes pointing at me. 
"H-how much?" I ask, scared of the answer.  
"50 percent. Half of your blood is mine. And do you want to know how much of my blood I have left? I only have 30 percent of my blood left in me. This means that 70 percent of my blood isn't mine. It's yours, and nobody else's." 

So much?! I didn't know half of my blood was Mark's! I thought I had way less! Did I lose so much blood during the fight?

"Why are you so surprised? I stabbed you with my knife, which like my sword is effective against vampires. You would've died if I didn't give you my blood. Simple as that. Now let's stop posing ourselves useless questions, and let's try to be happy, you and I." 
Mark pulls me to him on the bed and starts kissing me deeply. All I can do is kiss him back and enjoy the moment. He goes on for quite a while, and when he stops, letting me go and standing up with me, he gives me a look that says something like "see? That's exactly what I'm talking about". He then let's out a chuckle and gives me the cute smile that I love.
"I know very well you liked it. And I know even better you want more." He whispers kindly.

Ahh, I shouldn't give in to my instincts…but this is stronger than me, this isn't even an instinct. This is a primordial feeling of pure love, that's what it is. You know what? Fuck it, I'm tired of fighting against myself. If I'm going to love him I might as well do it right.

"Mark…can I ask you something?" I start, wanting to make sure of something. Mark raises his eyebrows and looks at me a bit perplexed, but he nods and gestures me to go ahead. 
"No, actually, I want to tell you something. "Ask" wasn't the correct word. I'm here to tell you that…" 
I open my arms wide and shut my eyes, taking a deep breath.
"...I'm all yours, for tonight. This is the demonstration of the fact that I have no bad intentions, and that I want you to trust me. Mark…you can have me all to yourself." I finish and I open back my eyes, then I lay my arms down and smile slightly.

Maybe with this, he'll understand I'm being honest. I don't want him to think of me as a monster, or a murderer. Even though I am both those things.

Mark slowly runs a hand on the three slashes on his face, after that he reaches out with the same hand and lays it on my left cheek, with the same impassive look. 
"Well…how about a kiss, to start?" 

I can do that.

At that point, I drag him to one of the armchairs, make him sit down and then lean on top of him to kiss him with my hands on his cheeks. I hear him humming at some point, while I'm keeping my lips on his, so I get closer to him and after a few seconds I feel his arms gently wrapping around my back. We keep going for...some time, I don't know how long. I lose track of time at some point. 

This is…it's like I'm in a trance…I can't stop kissing him, and I don't want to stop either. 

At some point I start unbuttoning his shirt, which feels like a natural thing to me since we've had sex a few times already, but he suddenly breaks away, with a deep red blush on his cheeks.
"I'm sorry…I thought-" 
"No it's fine. You just caught me by surprise, that's all. I…" Mark mutters, stopping in the middle of the sentence. He then bites his lip and starts rubbing his thumb on my cheek, while keeping his eyes on mine. 
"Mark? Are you-"
"Shh, it's fine. I'm just enjoying the moment…" He whispers. His eyes light up just for a moment, but I see a lot of things in them in such little time. I see happiness, insecurity, love…and lust. 

Lust...I love how much of a pervert he is. And he looks so innocent, too.

"Mark, I'm going to ask you a question." I start, grinning with my eyebrow raised. I know he's going to be very happy about what I'm going to say next.
"What is it?" Mark asks taking his hand back. 
"Do you want me, Mark?" I ask seductively and bite my bottom lip, as I read his mind for just a moment.

He desires me so much, I love it. He'd do anything for me.

"Yes, so much." 

Exactly as I thought.

I run my tongue over my lips, then I grin in the way he loves, the way that gets him turned on so much.
"Then come here and take me." 
As he hears that, Mark completely loses control. He grabs my face within his hands and leans closer to me until our faces are a few inches apart.
"You have no idea what you do to me." 

He's right, I don't. But I want to find out. Also because I love seeing him so excited.

"Then show me, Mark. Show me what I do to you, and don't hold back."
