Chapter 27 - Savoring My Meal

.

"H-how can you call this a scratch?" She gaped at him, that was an open wound and he called it a scratch "It hurts, doesn't it?"

"Don't blame yourself, Orchid"

"But I caused it. It's my fault you're in this condition" Orchid said and her eyes scanned the wound "How did you get wounded?"

"Demon's fingers, pierced deep into my guts"

"Y-your guts?"

"Just kidding. Their fingers are blackened, more like a poison"

"It looks deep" her fingers stretched forward, she hesitated at first but her fingers touched the spot

"It is deep" he said, his voice coming out low-pitched. Her fingers traced round the spot, totally unaware of the emotion flickering in his eyes

He felt warmth in the part she had touched and he looked down at her. As if finally realizing what she was doing, she composed herself with a slight cough

"I'll leave you be" she nervously said and turned around to leave but he held her arm

"Leaving? I got this wound because of you. I lost a lot of blood, what are you going to do to make up?"

She got an inkling to what he was saying

"I know we both made a deal, but I'm not ready to be...fed on"

"Just a sip won't hurt, would it? I tasted your blood, Orchid. It was divine, the moment it hit my taste buds. I wanted more, but had to control myself as we were in the middle of something back there" he said with a chortle and took a step towards her, Orchid took a step back but was restricted as his hand went to her waist and brought her to him

Her hands flew over to his chest to stop him from bumping her into him even more

"This is how I'm going to get paid for checking on you and..."

"You caused the wound in the first place, sweetheart. What do you think was going to happen the moment you walked in here? Just going to check if I'm okay, then leave?"

"Y-you dragged me in"

"Hmm, because you were right at my door. It would be rude if I didn't welcome you in" Their proximity caused her eyes to widen a bit and she hitched when she could feel his well-sculpted abs from beneath her palm "Our deal was clear, till now I have offered you protection and ended getting hurt in the process, but you haven't done yours"

"Still-"

"So what's it gonna be? Take a pick, the bed or the couch?" she was surprised at his question, she wasn't getting away this time, she knew it "Bed or couch, sweetheart"

"Ciaran -"

"Hmm, my name wasn't added to the options but if you wish, we could work it-" he said, his fingers trailing the lines on her collarbone

"T-the couch" she said in all nervousness, he was going to have her one way or the other anyways

"The couch? Quite disappointed as I had expected the bed as it's more cozy and intimate. But the couch will do" Orchid saw the grin on his face and his wandering gaze, she almost shivered

"Let's get it over with" she muttered, her eyelids dropping

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle" he spoke on her skin and she shuddered at the sensation that swept through her back

His eyes lingered on her pulse and his shimmering grey eyes dimmed red

His fingertips traced on her porcelain skin and his eyes fixated on the part he wanted to bite

Orchid's eyes were shut tightly, waiting to feel the pain on her neck but all she felt was something cold and wet

"W-what are you doing?" her voice came out in a quiver

"Savoring my meal" she shivered when she felt him sucking hard on her skin, was this part of it?

Still, she couldn't stop the feeling settling in her stomach as his tongue trailed on her neck

"Hnm..." a low sound left her lips and she felt his lips twitch on her skin. She clenched her fists to avoid making any weird noises that might give him the wrong impression

He lowered her back till she was laid on the couch and she felt her head on the armrest

This was way too intimate!

She wanted to scream out loud but couldn't, he was working his tongue on her neck that she nearly gave in to this newfound...feeling

She gasped when she felt his fangs prick her skin and went deep into her flesh. She felt it plunge deeper into her skin and she nearly cried out

His lips sucked on her skin as he drew out her blood, his fangs still stuck on her neck

The moment the delectable taste landed on his taste buds, his eyes turned gloomy. It wasn't like anything he had ever tasted before, he was instantly drawn to it

He felt something warm flow through him and he grunted slightly feeling a pain at his waist side

Orchid's eyes were closed as she felt his breath turning heavy and it snapped when she heard the growl from his chest

"Ciaran -" her hands went to his chest to push him away, he had taken enough already...she was starting to feel lightheaded "T-that's enough..."

Orchid was beginning to worry when she didn't get a response, she hit lightly on his chest which had him clutch her waist tightly

"Ciaran, let go..." her hands were now on his waist as he attached her to him, their chest pressed against each other

Her face scrunched in pain and confusion as her fingers touched the injured spot on his waist. She felt his flesh sticking together...he was healing

Ciaran's fangs drew from her skin and he breathed raggedly. He got off her and sat next to her

Orchid eyes held relief as he had finally left her. Sitting up, her eyes went to his waist

The darkened spot where the injury had been inflicted was gone...not even a scratch on his perfect skin
