Chapter 22 I Want You!
Broad rays of sunshine passed through the window of a certain room. The air was so warm. But that warmth was particularly pleasant with the invigorating freshness of the morning frost.
Marceline slowly opened her eyes and blinked at the sunlight streaming through her glass window. She moaned sleepily, turning her head to the soft pillow in a lazy manner.
Her tired body just wanted to stay in bed. She felt like every ounce of her energy was drained last night because of that intensive exercise she did with a handsome stranger.
When Kira's gorgeous face flashed in her mind, Marceline flung her eyes open, hastily sitting up on the bed. Her sleepiness suddenly disappeared as she swept her eyes around her room, searching for Kira.
Turning to her left side, she was greeted by two beautiful scarlet orbs that were staring at her intently. Marceline held her breath as her eyes moved from his face down his exposed muscular body.
She cursed under her breath after seeing his broad shoulders, sturdy chest, and well-toned abs.
'Damn! Is he trying to seduce me so early this morning?' Marceline bit her lower lip, her gaze lingered on his excellent physique.
Kira was sitting beside her while leaning his back on the headrest of the bed. His morning look was so tempting, enough for every woman to drool over his beauty. He was so charming that she had the urge to pounce on him and ravish him.
'How can a man be as beautiful as him?' Marceline continued checking him out with fascination in her emerald eyes.
Meanwhile, Kira arched his eyebrow, his lips forming a thin line as if he was upset about something. This was not the kind of expression Marceline was expecting to see from him.
Oblivious of the reason for his dark expression, Marceline asked him innocently. "Why are you giving me that kind of look?"
Kira didn't say a word. He just pulled the blanket up to cover Marceline's naked body. That was the time she realized that she was not wearing anything underneath the comforter.
The memories of their intimate moment played in her mind like a series of flashbacks. A blush overtook her face, turning so hot that she could feel her cheeks throb.
She covered her mouth using her hand as she started struggling through a hiccup.
Kira narrowed his eyes on her and had finally spoken a word. "Have you forgotten what happened last night?"
Marceline gazed up, meeting his eyes. She paused for a moment, scanning her brain about the last thing she remembered.
She recalled having a mind-blowing orgasm before passing out. She didn't remember the other details after that.
'Did we sleep? Did he… take my virginity?' Marceline asked herself before tossing a look on the bed. She hadn't seen any red dots. It only meant they didn't do the deed yet.
Marceline pressed her hand on her chest, heaving a sigh of relief. She didn't know if it was a good thing or not. But one thing was certain. She might have done something last night that put Kira in a bad mood.
"Ehem, I can't remember everything. Do you mind telling me what I did that made you upset?"
Marceline was already grateful that she didn't wake up in the middle of the forest today. She wondered if last night's incident already cured her mysterious illness.
On the other hand, Kira rubbed the space between his eyebrows before shaking his head helplessly. He chose to maintain his silence.
He didn't want to be reminded of what happened next after he was done fulfilling his duty of satisfying this lady.
He was too embarrassed to admit that he was taken advantage of last night. This lady before him was so unpredictable. Sad to say, Kira was left hanging!
In other words, they were not able to finish what they had started the moment Marceline suddenly changed into another persona.
Kira couldn't understand what happened to Marceline that she became very aggressive to the extent she pounced on him like a predator who was ready to devour her prey.
He accidentally hit his head, making him lose consciousness. The moment he woke up, the two of them were still lying on the bed. Marceline's arms and legs were all over him. She fell asleep while hugging him tightly.
"Hey, Vamps! I'm talking to you." Marceline tugged Kira's arm before pouting her lips in annoyance.
"Vamps?" Kira looked at her in confusion.
Marceline bobbed her head, giving him a silly smile.
"You are a vampire, right? So Vamps for short!" Marceline stated matter-of-factly.
The crease on his forehead deepened. "I have a name!" He complained.
"Hmm, then tell me your name."
"I'm Kira!" he promptly responded, then he continued, "How do you know that I am a vampire? Aren't you afraid of me?" Kira asked her expectantly, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"Why would I be afraid of you? You are handsome. You don't look scary at all," Marceline responded nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders.
Kira: "..."
'She's so weird,' He mumbled to himself, eyeing Marceline in disbelief.
"By the way, it's not important how I learned that you are a vampire. What matters here the most is whether you will accept my proposal or not. Have you thought about it? Will you work for me?" Marceline was so direct to the point. She started negotiating with Kira once again.
Kira glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. He rubbed his chin as if he was thinking about the proposal.
"Hmm, as far as I could remember, you promised me blood supply for my consumption in exchange for satisfying you last night. So now, what will you offer me to accept your new proposal?"
Kira was testing her. He wanted to know what benefit he would get from her.
"What do you want? Name your price," Marceline said confidently.
A mischievous smirk worked its way on the corners of his lips.
"You. I want you."
Marceline: "..."
'What the hell?! Is he trying to play a game with me or is he flirting with me early this morning?' Marceline knitted her perfectly-shaped eyebrows into a frown.
"Are you kidding me?" Marceline spat back at him.
"No! I'm dead serious. I want you…" he insisted.
"...your loyalty!"
