When Nathan arrived at the dinning area and sat down to eat, everyone stared at him as though he had down something beyond immortality.
"What did you do to Sloane?" Marcus asked while glaring at him
"Did you ask her what she did to me?" Nathan asked but Marcus was still glaring
"Dad, Nathan gave his first kiss to Sloane and he stole hers" Cassandra said and Rebecca had dropped her utensils
"What did you say?" Marcus asked
"It's just like you heard, dad" Nathan said "But, you've got to understand me in this situation. Although she had the right to be mad that I kissed her, she also didn't have that right because it was either that, or she could sleep for hundreds of years from Dante's curse"
"He's actually right" Alexa admitted "The situation demanded it" she said
"But in a way, you are actually kind of heartless" Fernanda said "I'm not really into this kind of stuff, but, you could have at least apologised to her when she found out. But instead, you said you were both even. Sloane's a softy, you know?"
"I can't even eat in peace now" Nathan murmured with shut eyes "It's like I'm getting nagged by different people. I don't like that" he said finishing his food and opening his eyes. They were the same color as the ones he had in his dream. He could already feel the tattoo on his back glowing and releasing a menacing aura
"Nathan?" Marcus said shocked as he stared at his son
"Sorry" Nathan said as his eyes instantly reverted back to normal and he left the dinning area
"So, what Dante alarmed us of earlier is true" Marcus mumbled
"Louisa said it far exceeded her expectations" Rebecca said with a sigh
"What's that?" Brianna asked curiously
"Nathan's lost control of his demon seed" Rebecca said in a dreadful tone and everyone stopped eating completely "Sloane has also lost control, but Nathan's keeping hers at bay" she added
"It's only a matter of time before one of them becomes unstable and has to leave the human world" Marcus said "At least, that's what Dante and Louisa said"
'This....is really bad' they all thought

After Nathan left the dinning room, he walked up the stairs and stopped in front of Sloane's room. He didn't even know where to start from; should he knock? What would he say if she even allowed him in? Does he even know how to explain things to her?
"Sloane, please open up" Nathan said in a whisper but he suddenly heard the sound of the door being unlocked and the next thing he knew, it had slightly opened and Nathan could see the spirits
"Prince Nathan, we'll leave you two alone and seal the door from outside" Fox said through telepathy so Sloane couldn't hear them
"Thanks a lot" Nathan said as he walked into the room and the spirits shut the door from outside. Orange runes appeared on the door and Nathan was sure it had been sealed.
"What are you doing here?" Sloane asked with a frown
"We....need to talk" Nathan said and she scoffed
"We have nothing to talk about" she said
"Then, explain why you're avoiding me" he said with folded arms and Sloane who was sitting on her bed reading a book, dropped the book to look at him.
As normal as it was for Nathan to be shirtless in the mansion, Sloane for some reason, still couldn't get used to it. His perfect muscularly toned upper body matched his tall frame and handsome face but when her eyes fell on his lips, she remembered the feeling on hers.
"I'm not avoiding you" Sloane said as she looked away from him
"Then look at me" Nathan said
"Stop entering my room shirtless" Sloane mumbled
"What does that have to do with anything?" Nathan asked and she sighed
"You really are dumb when it comes to being nice" Sloane spat out "Just leave" she shouted and before she knew it, Nathan had her pinned between him and the headboard
"Why are you so difficult today?" He shouted "I actually came to apologise to you for taking your first kiss without your permission" he said and her eyes widened as he looked away from her and stared down "I didn't mean to. It's just....it was a dire situation. I lost mine too but I'm not reacting like you....probably because I'm too proud to show how much it's affecting me" he murmured the last part out and looked up but to his surprise, Sloane's lips had crashed into his.
Her eyes were closed as she savoured the feeling before her hands tugged on his hair and pulled him in the more. Nathan's eyes widened at her actions and he wanted to push her away but his whole body had a different idea; as he kissed her back.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling, before the tattoo had appeared once again on his back and was glowing. How many times had kissing her again and again, crossed his mind, that he was now losing himself to her.
'I've got to stop. I need to control myself' Nathan thought as he realised he had gently laid Sloane on the bed but still continued. He could feel himself using the power of his demon seed and that was when he had pulled away and sat by the window. He wanted to get away from her for the fear of hurting her if he continued.
When he looked at her, one of her hands was covering her mouth as she realised what she and Nathan had just done
"I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry" Sloane said in panic with reddened cheeks "I seriously don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have-"
"Sloane, it's alright" Nathan said and when she looked at him, he had a smile on his face "You don't have to apologise. It was also my fault"
"B-but I-"
"Sloane, it's fine. We just need to avoid...skin to skin contact" Nathan said and as he said this, his irises and pupils took the color of an inferno while the whites of his eyes turned black as he stared at Sloane "Honestly speaking, I was close to losing control and I could have done a lot of things your mind wouldn't even be able to process" he said with a neutral face as his eyes moved to her lips then the rest of her body before her face.
Sloane was blushing like there was no tomorrow due to how Nathan looked at her. She felt like he was taking off her clothes with his eyes and it made her uncomfortable. However, she could tell a part of her actually wanted him to do that to her.
'I've started running mad' Sloane thought as she shook her head but the thought of Nathan kissing her again had crossed her mind before she made eye contact with him. She felt like she was being pulled again and Nathan had to look away from her
"Sloane, I'm serious about that losing control part" Nathan reminded and she had turned her back to him
"I'm sorry" Sloane said and the room went deadly silent "Nathan, I've been hearing voices in my head" she said
"Same here" Nathan said "But mine are screams of death" he said as he held his head and his eyes returned to normal while the tattoo disappeared
"I think I hear stuff like that every now and then" Sloane said "They're crying out to me. They keep complaining of how they died, how much it hurts and a whole lot of others things" she said before turning around to look at him "What's wrong with us?" She asked and Nathan sighed
"I didn't want to believe it but, Dante confirmed it" Nathan said before staring directly into her eyes "Sloane, we've both completely lost control of our seeds. And there's a possibility we wouldn't be able to control it again with as much ease as last time" he explained "Whenever a desire or want of ours is in hands reach, we feel the urge to fulfill it. Even against our own will" he said as he looked at her lips 'Especially when we're not yet ready'
