Chereads / Grant's Mate / Chapter 3 - 3

Chapter 3 - 3

The night sky was quite bright, where the crescent moon hung beautifully accompanied by starlight. Arabell bent her knees and sat not far from the fire. The sound of the nocturnal beasts and the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance. However, Arabell is not too worried about it. The man who was with her seemed to know how to protect them in case something untoward happened. 

The journey to the British border just by foot is very risky, besides being able to meet bandits, passersby must also be able to survive in the wilderness. Arabell was endlessly grateful in her heart that she found or rather she was found by that man. The female vampire, who abducted her brother, simply ordered a man to take Arabell to the Anglo-Scottish border and leave the girl alone. 

The smell of wild boar meat being burned made the girl's saliva almost drip and made her stomach growl over and over again. One word had been muttering in her mind for a long time. Hungry. 

Grant smiled at the hopeful glint Arabell showed to her quarry. He wanted to prove to his Luna that he was able to take care of and feed the girl. 

Grant's heart warmed as he sat face to face in the open field undisturbed. The man closed his eyes and inhaled the scent of his Luna body which was far more delicious than the smell of roasted pork. 

However, it didn't take long for Grant to open his eyes again and find a topic of conversation to dispel the wild imaginations that were starting to fill his mind. "Where do you live?" 

Arabell's heart suddenly jumped in surprise, surprised to be spoken to, because since a few hours ago the man had only said one or two words and the rest just watched the girl in silence. 

"I-I live with my family, not far from the border, it takes two days of riding," stuttered Arabell.

Grant's brain was spinning fast as he set the strategy. Maybe I should ask her family for permission first to take her home with me. 

Arabell's stomach growled loudly. Grant tore off the cooked beef thigh and gave it to the girl. 

Arabell accepted the still-hot meat with joy. She blew on the boar's thigh and then bit it. 

"Hot!" Arabell reflexively opened her mouth wide. The girl's tongue was burning hot. 

Grant immediately burst out laughing. He inched closer so he could duck and blew on Arabell's tongue a few times until the heat was tolerable for her. 

The embarrassment suddenly made Arabell's cheeks blush. The girl realized that they were too close. 

Arabell swallowed the meat in her mouth. The girl then inched away. 

Grant's eyes softened. He liked his cute Luna's shyness. 

Arabell's stomach again protested. The girl tried to put out the heat from the meat she wanted to eat by blowing it hard impatiently. 

"Here let me help." Grant volunteered. He leaned forward and joined in the hot steam that was still rising.

The blush on Arabell's cheeks widened when she found Grant's face only inches away from her. 

However, hunger trumps shame. Arabell received help from the man. Not long after, she was able to finish her dinner. 

After feeling full and sleepy, Arabell looked around. As far as the eye could see, there were only grass and wild plants. "Where are we going to sleep?" 

"Eh?" 

Grant was stunned. He had forgotten that his Luna was still a human. The man looked around before saying, "You can sleep on top of me."

Arabell's eyes suddenly widened when she heard Grant's words. "I-I don't want to sleep on top of you." 

"Why? I'm warm and it's much more comfortable lying on top of me than on the ground." 

Arabell bit her lips because she felt uneasy. Grant's words had some truth in them and she needed to seduce him. 

A hint of guilt stained Arabell's heart. Grant was friendly and kind, even though she was leading the man into the trap that awaited him. 

However, the image of Tim, his little brother again reminded her of duty. Arabell swallowed hard before nodding nervously.

***** 

The five-day trip was the best day of Grant's life and the worst day of Arabell's. The man was happy to be close to his Luna, while Arabell continued to feel guilty and worried about her brother.

Night fell, they arrived at the place of agreement between Arabell and Viscount Oswald. A simple inn is located on the edge of the village. 

By agreement, Arabell had to get the man to mark her on the spot. Nervousness and low self-esteem made Arabell move clumsily. She did not believe in her ability to seduce a man. 

However, Arabell decided to keep trying. She looked up at Grant, who was surveying his surroundings and asked in a slightly shaky voice. "G-Grant, can we stay at that place? I miss a bed to lie on." 

Grant ducked for a moment to look at Arabell. However, he looked around again. 

The stone-walled buildings are located far from each other, while the bucket wells are located at several points close to fields and housing. Several donkeys were tied to the yard. However, no one was seen there. "So quiet, I thought England was a lot busier." 

"Re-really?" asked Arabell nervously. He was worried if the man realized the trap that had been prepared. 

Grant had a strange feeling. He sniffed and strained his ears. However, the man did not find anything out of the ordinary except for Arabell's behavior which looked frightened. 

"Are you all right?" Grant studied the girl closely. "Your face is pale."

"I-I'm fine." 

"Really? You look nervous tonight." 

Arabell's heart was pounding. If the man continues to engage in question-and-answer actions, her task will never be completed and her brother's safety is at stake. 

Arabell mustered all the courage she had. She tiptoed, pulled Grant's cloth so he bent down, and kissed his lips. Just a quick kiss. 

However, it made Grant's breath stop for a moment. He didn't expect his Luna to have such an aggressive nature. 

Grant's head shot up. The man noticed that the skin on Arabell's cheeks had now turned from ivory white to tomato red. 

"So you want to rest in that place?" asked Grant, grinning widely. He understood Luna's invitation which was far from rest. 

Arabell was biting her lip again, trying to hold back the embarrassment and nervousness. She had to complete the assigned mission as quickly as possible. Without saying much, the girl grabbed Grant's hand shakily and pulled him into the inn. 

***** 

Dim light illuminates the inn room which is only 5 x 5 meters in size. A pair of human shadows seemed to be wrestling on a straw mattress attached to the side of the wall. 

Arabell was breathing fast as Grant moved above her. Their bare skin rubbed against each other, creating a hot sensation that spread throughout their bodies. 

Arabell felt kiss after kiss. She groaned as the fondling grew more intimate before squealing softly as Grant entered her. 

The pain in her feminine core and passion clouded Arabell's senses. The girl bent her back and hugged tightly the body of the man who was above her.

Grant moved as slowly as possible. He tried to reduce the effects of the first time they made love. 

Not long after, Grant looked down. He kissed his lover's lips before digging his fangs into Arabell's neck and causing her to scream.
