The swift movement of an indiscernible blur, like a whisper in the wind, carried from one tree to another, leaving no trace of its presence. Not even the squirrels, with their keen senses, were stirred from their peaceful slumber.
But suddenly, the tranquility of the forest was shattered by a shrill scream that pierced through the air, disrupting the harmony that once enveloped the surroundings.
With a smile gracing his incomparably handsome face, Jason gracefully came to a halt, seizing the opportunity to let Selena dismount from his back. Yet, a flicker of reluctance danced in her eyes as she reluctantly complied.
Her once immaculate hair and dress now in disarray, Selena appeared as though she had weathered a tempest. The remnants of her beauty, however, still radiated through the chaos.
Jason attempted to maintain a composed expression as he gazed at her, but his resolve quickly crumbled. His tightly pressed lips gave way to a melodious laughter that resonated through the dark forest, akin to the sound of silver bells.
Selena lifted her head, her enchanting eyes filled with a mixture of grievance and resentment, reflecting the emotions that coursed through her being.
"Hahahah." Jason finally succumbed to his amusement, unable to contain his laughter any longer.
Observing his reaction, Selena's eyes welled up with tears, their allure threatening to spill over onto her delicate cheeks.
In the blink of an eye, before the first tear could grace the earth, Jason materialized before her, gently cupping her face in his hands.
Selena closed her eyes with a pout, her heart fluttering in disarray at the mere touch of Jason's hand.
A soft smile adorned Jason's face as he leaned down, pressing a tender kiss upon her forehead. As Selena's eyebrows trembled in response, his smile widened, and he proceeded to place gentle kisses upon her quivering eyelids and then her nose.
With each kiss, Selena's heart skipped a beat, her anticipation growing for the moment their lips would meet. Pouting her lips in an adorable manner, she silently beckoned Jason to fulfill her desire. Unable to resist, Jason leaned down and firmly pressed his lips against hers.
As if in celebration of their love, moonlight cascaded through the parting clouds, casting an ethereal glow upon the couple, immortalizing this enchanting moment. The moonlight pulsed with the intensity of their passion,
The world seemed to freeze in time, all sounds fading away, leaving the pair to be fully present in the moment.
They parted ways, Selena's cheeks flushed and her breath heavy, her captivating eyes filled with a hunger that could easily consume any man. Most would have been intimidated by the dangerous glint of obsession in her gaze, but not Jason.
With a far more terrifying obsession burning in his own eyes, Jason gently held her face in his hands.
As he gazed at Selena's blushing face, her eyes reflecting a primal desire, he tenderly stroked her cheek, soothing her.
"If I were still human, my weak willpower would have given in to the temptation," Jason thought to himself.
The mind of a vampire possesses an iron will, capable of achieving any goal they set their sights on.
Yet, Jason's resolve wavered with each passing moment spent with Selena.
Struggling to contain his desire to claim her right there in the forest, he reluctantly pushed her away, her breathless face yearning for more.
Selena, however, reached for his lips, her body aflame with passion to be united with him.
"Your mother must be worried," Jason remarked, his once melodious voice now husky from the effort of resisting her.
Selena paused, her eyes widening as the reality of her mother's concern hit her.
Stepping back from Jason, she scanned the dark forest, the moon obscured by clouds once more. The thought of her mother searching for her alone sent a shiver down her spine.
In the heat of the moment, she had followed Jason without considering the consequences.
"It's midnight," Jason noted, sensing her unease.
"She is fine, don't fret," he reassured her, reaching out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, damp from worry for her mother's safety.
"Let's go," Jason said, crouching slightly to offer her a way to climb onto his back.
"Ready?" With a nod from Selena, they vanished into the darkness.
A gentle breeze whispered through the night, carrying with it the anticipation of what was to come.
"Tock"
"Tock"
Dismounting from Jason's back, Selena hurriedly made her way into her house.
After a brief exchange of words, a tranquil silence settled within the walls of the house, while Jason found himself standing awkwardly outside, his acute senses attuned to the conversation unfolding within.
"Shit." Jason cursed under his breath.
As the sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, Jason's mind became a battleground, torn between facing Selena's wrathful mother head-on or vanishing into the darkness, risking the bond he shared with Selena.
"Haaaah." Jason took a deep breath, his resolve firm as he stood his ground, patiently awaiting the appearance of the duo.
With an uncanny ability to read their thoughts, he knew Selena's mother was seething with anger due to their escapade, while Selena clung to the hope that everything would work out and her mother would come to understand.
Lifting his gaze to the moonless sky, a wistful smile graced Jason's captivating countenance.
As the footsteps drew nearer, he approached the porch of their residence, poised and ready for their arrival.
"Young lady, your boyfriend is about to receive an earful from me. You better pray that he has fled." Selena's mother bellowed, flinging open the door.
Selena, her lips pressed tightly together, followed her mother, her heart filled with both anxiety and hope.
"Kaach"
The door swung open, and Selena's mother froze in her tracks, as if her very soul had been stolen away.
The porch light illuminated a man, his visage so flawlessly handsome that it bordered on unsettling. His aura seemed detached from the mortal realm, commanding the attention of all who beheld him.
"Hello, Madam. I am Jason." Jason bowed gracefully, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of her hand.
The poor woman remained speechless, still in awe of the otherworldly beauty before her. Thankfully, Selena stepped forward, bringing her mother back to reality.
"Mom, can Jason come inside?" Selena inquired, her voice dripping with sweetness, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Yes, of course." Selena's mother quickly turned on her heels, her face flushed with embarrassment.
The pair shared a moment of laughter, followed by Selena gracefully planting a kiss on Jason's lips, before leading him to the elegant living room.
