Drink from me!

(Author’s Point of View.)

Hahaha! Hahaha! Indeterminable voices laughed ominously. “We don’t! We do what is beneficial for us! Now invite us in!”

Amelia chewed on her lower lip as she looked up at the most handsome devil on the planet. He looked much ashen than usual; she wonders how much energy he had exhausted for her sake. Anger rose within her at the thought of how he’d rather starve than let her in on his secret and feed from her. “Stupid man!”

On the other hand, the thought of having to invite these things that calls themselves the Phantoms, whatever that is, back inside her, rose in her the feeling of apprehension that threatens to swallow her raw. Yet, she has no choice but to agree if she wants to have the love of her life back. Also, to save him from whatever monster he will be turning into against his will. “Is there even a way to kill them?” She wondered.

After an infinite second passed, “You promised you won’t force me into doing anything against my will?” Amelia asked once again.

“Are you going to invite us in, or should we get back in you by force? We promise it is going to stinge. Say yes now before we change our mind.”

“Yes!” Amelia said with no other choice left.

The Phantoms screeched so loudly that Amelia had to shut her ears with her hands. “We are not the ones you should fear!”

That was the last thing she heard before black smokes sipped out of Reagan’s eyes, nose, and mouth then rushed inside Amelia the same way they came out.

“Hmm!” Reagan grunted falling back to the chair with his head hanging downwards, and his fangs protruding.

A couple of seconds later, Amelia’s soulless eyes returned to their deep blues as she came back to her senses. And the first thing she did was check on him.

“Reagan?” She called in a shaky breath.

After a moment passed, “I am here Love!” Reagan’s voice came almost in a whisper.

Amelia’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Oh, goddess! Is that really you, Reagan?”

“Yes, it’s me, love!”

Oh, Reagan!” She exclaimed and dashed towards him, then threw herself at him. “I hurt you. I hurt you badly. I didn’t mean to.” Amelia said in tears. “I tried to fight it, but I was not strong enough.”

“I know, love. It wasn’t your fault.” Reagan squeezed through his teeth. He was fighting extremely hard to retract his fangs and not hurt her. His careless little mate doesn’t even care that he might end up hurting her like this. “You have to get away from me, love! I don’t want to hurt you.”

Hearing those words, anger swelled inside her. Abruptly, she detached herself from his limbs and smashed her tiny palms against his hard cheeks without a care about what punishment awaited her. She was pissed that even in such a state, he still doesn’t want to feed on her.

Reagan snarled dangerously at her and Amelia sprang away from him in fright. “This is the second time you crossed your boundaries. If you were not my mate, and that I hold you in such high esteem, you would have had it from me!” He snapped baring his canines at her, his eyes flashing golden.

Amelia’s body trembled in dread. Yes, she was daring by doing so. But can anyone blame her? If those Phantoms didn’t want her instead of him, imagine the outcome of what his actions might have caused. She would have lost him to her own darkness for good. Her heart ached at that thought.

With that, she straightened her back and glared at him. “I don’t care what consequences my actions may cause, but I am angry at you. How could you keep such secrets from me? You knew you would become weak from not feeding for so long, yet you did exactly that. What if I had lost you forever?” Amelia burst into a fit of sobs. “What if you were swallowed by my own darkness? How do you expect me to live without you? Don’t you see its hurting me when you keep such things from me and act so recklessly?”

Reagan’s heart tightened at her words. She was right, he was indeed reckless. Even so, he would do it all over again if that meant she would get to live without the guilt of taking lives against her will.

He sighed dejectedly. “I am sorry, love! It wasn’t my intention to keep any of this from you. You were so naïve and fragile, and I didn’t want to scare you away. I wasn’t sure how you would react considering that you were so innocent and oblivious to the things that goes on in the world. Therefore, I couldn’t afford to have you become terrified of me,” Reagan explained.

“How could you even think like that? You are the only person I have ever cared for. With you, I learned what love is,” Amelia said in tears then went on-“

“We have to complete our mate bond. Everything is prepared for us to perform the ritual and there is not much time left. And before you go on about how your vampire side will get out of control and hurt me, let him! Anyone in his situation would be that way. I don’t blame you for locking him up all your life, however, you should understand that was not the best approach because even I would get out of control in that state.” Amelia said all these in one breath.

She wasn’t sure if Reagan knew about all that went wrong between Zegan and his brother, nonetheless, she said what she had to say anyway.

With that, Amelia moved closer to him and climbed on his lap. “Please drink from me, I believe you won’t hurt me,” she said tucking her hair on one side and baring her neck to him.

Instantaneously, his fangs lengthened, and he shut his eyes tightly, trying to not think about the inviting vein on her neck. “Damnit! Aren’t you afraid he would jump to the front and hurt you? Or that I might lose control myself?” Reagan squeezed through clenched jaws.

“Then you should make sure he doesn’t!” Amelia said solemnly. She did not know from where her confidence suddenly materialized, nevertheless, making him drink from her, is one risk she was willing to take. Thus, she began to grind herself against the huge bulge in his pants and brought her neck to his lips.

Right at that moment, Amelia’s body trembled as sparks danced all over her being, feeling his lips and his fangs graze her skin.

“What a temptress this woman was,” he thought. He was doing his best to not hurt her since he wasn’t sure of his willpower right now. But she, she was doing everything to invoke the demon in him. If she was any other female, he would have fucked and sucked her without a care for tempting him like this until she was empty and dropped dead.

Relenting to her request, “I am sorry love, this is going to sting…”, Reagan said in a ragged breath. With that, he sank his fangs into her delicate flesh and Amelia let out an ear-piercing screech as he began to drink from her.
