Tobias woke up after feeling a chilly breeze on his naked body. He was still on the sofa, but it was already nighttime.
How long was I asleep?
Tobias tried moving his leg but couldn't. Confused, he propped himself up on his elbow and saw Carmila on the floor. She slept peacefully with her head resting on his thigh, her hands tightly wrapped around his leg.
"This bitch..." Tobias mumbled. "At least she had the decency to clean her face."
Hearing his words, Carmila smiled and stirred, but didn't wake up. Tobias took a deep breath, trying to process everything.
On one hand, he should have been thankful to her for saving some innocent woman from getting assaulted by him. But on the other, he couldn't help but feel disgusted after looking at her.
She had drugged him and forced herself on him. But what he did afterward was more or less the same thing. One could say they were even in that regard. That thought seemed to calm his thoughts against Carmila.
Besides, having her by my side would solve my biggest problem.
With his Lust Essence being consumed simply by existing, Tobias needed someone to help fill it back up. Using Mira was out of the question as she was a client, not a friend, and paying for sex wasn't worthwhile.
That's where Carmila came in. She probably became addicted to his taste after what happened between them. Hence, she wouldn't complain about being with him.
Moreover, since she was a vampire, she could handle Tobias' feral side, unlike any other woman could. He could go as wild as he wanted with her and it won't harm her.
Maybe it's not that bad after all. I can think about it later. First, let's get out of here.
He gently tried to move his leg again, but her grip tightened slightly, and she murmured something in her sleep.
"Master... don't stop..."
"...how horny can someone be?"
Honestly, Tobias wondered who, between them, should have been addicted to sex because of her reaction.
While he was thinking about it, Carmila slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a couple more times before reality hit her in the face. She sat up, staring at Tobias' naked self.
"What are you doing here?"
Tobias smirked, reached out, and raised Carmila's chin with a finger. She gulped, not daring to look directly at him. Since she had called him her master, it was only right for him to behave as one.
"I don't remember you being such a loud mouth before," he said, teasing her. "Maybe it's because you had your mouth full."
Carmila's cheeks flushed a deep red, and she averted her gaze, crossing her arms over her chest. She vividly remembered the scene Tobias was talking about and, even though she was embarrassed about it, she wanted it to happen again. But she would not admit it to him.
"Things happened in the heat of the moment," she muttered, trying to regain her composure. "I'm sure it won't happen again."
Smirking, Tobias leaned in closer, his face inches from hers. He then turned her face and slowly whispered in her ears.
"Are you sure about that... slave?"
Carmila opened her mouth to respond, but found herself unable to speak. Deep down, she wished moments like the afternoon would happen every night for the rest of her immortal life.
But as the queen of vampires, she couldn't admit it openly, nor could she tell Tobias that his slave was a queen.
It was a secret she had to keep or else it might bring trouble to Tobias' doorstep and that was the last thing she wanted... especially after what happened between the two.
That said, even though she knew a part of her wanted to keep the secret, another part didn't. For over a thousand years, she had performed her role as a queen expertly.
But in all those years, she couldn't get the one thing she yearned for the most. A companion who didn't treat her as a queen, but as someone ordinary.
She had a lot of power and authority in her world and her heart desired someone who would take that authority away from her and treat her like the bitch she was.
Carmila had finally found someone like that in Tobias. He was the perfect candidate to be her companion, her master, and her king. But there was a slight problem... he wasn't a vampire.
No one in their society would accept him and might even kill him for the things he did to her. That's why she had to keep their relationship a secret, even if the master didn't know about it.
Should I ask about converting him? No, that would be too soon...
Carmila was lost in her own world when Tobias let go of her chin and started getting dressed.
"Where are you going?" she asked, wanting him to stay back.
But Tobias didn't reply and continued as if he didn't hear her. Carmila took the hint and shyly looked at the floor before correcting her mistake.
"Master..." she said. "Can I ask where... are you going?"
"Home? Where else?" Tobias replied without turning to look back.
"...does master live alone?"
"I don't," Tobias said, smiling. "Why? Are you jealous?"
Carmila was indeed jealous. She wanted him all for herself. After the time they spent together, she couldn't bear the thought of Tobias doing the things he did to her, to someone else. She wanted to have a special place with him, a place only she had and no one else.
Meanwhile, Tobias was enjoying the roleplay stuff. Something about being in control of someone was tempting him, and it made him want more.
Moreover, all the reservations he had about Carmila disappeared after she woke up. It was strange, but their relationship didn't feel forced on him anymore.
Once dressed, he casually walked up to her, grabbed her chin, and planted a deep kiss on her lips. Carmila's eyes widened before relaxing as she enjoyed the feeling of being one with her beloved master again.
Even as they parted their lips, a string of saliva connected their lips. But no one cared about that. They were busy staring into each other's eyes.
"Remember that gift and be a good girl," Tobias mumbled, pinching her nipple for the last time. "Or else, I might not be as caring as before."
With that, he turned around and left, trying hard not to cringe at what he said. As he stepped outside the door, a notification popped up before him.
