Chapter 32
Persephone’s POV
“You smell like the ocean,” I softly whispered and the one who had held me and was holding me until now smiled.
He had slightly sharp teeth, but they were pearly white and so clean and I was blinded by the whiteness of his teeth and smile. He had the most vibrant indigo blue hair and I did not even know that you could get such colour from box dyes and there was something going on with his hair which were moving slightly like the waves even in a closed store. His skin was luminescent and glistened with pearly essence I did not know what and I just wanted to open his shirt which showed his delectable chest and lick his abs.
And his eyes…the colour of his eyes was of the Aegean sea with a purple ring pulsating around his iris. I had no idea what kind of creature he was but he had a smile which literally made me forget where I was or even who I was.
His eyes were a bit elongated which only enhanced his beauty and there was some kind of tattoo on his hand which I could see only a part of but it was moving in his skin…
Lick his abs?
Where did that thought come from? That wasn’t me! This is absolute madness..
“I am sure that I did not hear you right…you really wish to lick my abs?” he asked.
And my mouth opened in horror. WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH ME? Did I just say that out loud????
I slapped my hand on my mouth and said,” I am so sorry…I did not mean to say that and I did not even want to think that but…please forgive me..”
“Ohh no no not at all…you ae welcome to try out whatever fetish you have with me, but I thought probably you would like to be introduced first, don’t you think?”
“Umm yes…definitely..I mean no…oh God..” I was stuttering like a fool and he was playing me like a fiddle.
“It seems you have some trouble remembering yourself…Let me be of help. I am known as Takumi Omasaka, and you are?”
“Persephone Musquiat,” came out like second nature. Somewhere in my mind I knew that I could not use the name Musquiat any more since I was not theirs but you could not forget everything that you have grown up with in just a single day.
I had never known a man to be so handsome. Usually someone of Oriental birth was a bit shorter than the rest but he was so tall…almost six foot five inches and he was built so strongly. The power that emanated from him was absolutely fluid and his aura was a vibrant cyan colour…the man wasn’t handsome…he was goddamn beautiful and handsome at the same time. He almost looked like Nyr’s cousin. I would have to ask Nyra about this guy. I knew that I should not be drooling over him but I could not help myself at all. He was so fucking handsome.
I mean, I had never seen someone with so much beauty and grace in a male body. Sure, someone could say that the bloodsucker could come in comparison but this man….oh god..i could feel that my cheeks were absolutely inflamed.
By this time, Lydia had risen from where she had fallen down. And she rose up with a snarl.
“How dare you touch me and hit me like that?” she snarled as she came again and this time I was ready to tackle her down for I knew that I could take her but I did not. Because I did not even get a chance to. Madam Cordelia came from behind the store and snapped her fingers and some tapes had bound her hands and feet in an instant and Lydia was struggling with her bonds.
“Don’t even try that…they are bewitched. Your hands and feet will cut through and you will have only appendages.”
In an instant she stopped struggling and she looked at me and her fangs elongated. Madam Cordelia then snapped her fingers again and the door to the store opened and Takumi moved away along with me as Lydia was thrown out of the store with a hit.
“You can come back when you have better attitude,” said the demoness and I smiled for the first time, because as I could see that people had a lot of wrong conceptions about demons. A lot of things that we knew were not all completely correct.
“Ahh, Tak how have you been doing? I have your suit ready for the Inauguration ceremony, would you like to come and take a look at it?” she asked gently as he unhanded me slowly and nodded.
“Are you alright? Do you need to sit? Or any other help?” he asked but I shook my head silently. What were you supposed to tell your benefactor who looked like him? Alizeh came out wearing a dress and it was in gold. It was a short dress with beads all over it and it had really thin straps and the entire back was criss-crossed with straps and it looked marvelous on her skin tone.
She looked like a vision.
“Gurrlll….you look like fire,” I purred and she blushed so hard that I thought that she could not grow any redder than that.
“Isn’t it too much? It is not my usual style..”
“It isn’t always a bad thing to go overboard or even be a little extra. It gives that little zing that you need sometime.” And all of a sudden I remembered that there was a living breathing male standing behind me and I turned back and looked at him.
“Thank you so much for your help but it was not really needed. It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Omasaki, I hope I will see you around,” I said with a sweet smile and then turned towards Alizeh and I could see from the corner of my eyes that Madam Cordelia was nodding at me appreciatively. Alizeh caught hold of my arm and all of a sudden everything went black.
