The Devil's Temptation!

Out of all the thousand things bothering him, Anna really couldn’t believe he picked this particular one and her quizzical stare was justified.

“I can’t control my Demons.” He admitted before looking away, “regaining my energy would take years of healing and my Demons aren’t very friendly with me.”

“Wait, years??”

He nodded to her stupefaction and that made Anna realize something as well, causing a look of remorse to display on her face.

“Your refusal to help me treat Nicholas was because of that?”

“Doesn’t matter anymore, does it?” He shrugged it off, but it only made Anna worried and a little bit upset too as she stumped her feet in action.

“Why did you do it after knowing your health would be in this much danger?”

“You asked me to do it.”

.....

“When did you start listening to everything I tell you?” She really couldn’t believe this man, was he serious?

“Let’s just say I took pity on you.” His indifference was something Anna found difficult to deal with.

“Still...”

Anna couldn’t help but feel guilty, and she had been quite upset with him for thinking he was being the cold-hearted being he was, she never knew he had a reason behind it and now, he was facing the consequences for her own ignorance

“By my blood, that_that means you have to go with the same process? On my neck?”

When she looked at him, his fangs were already visible, causing a gasp to escape from her lips as she wasn’t expecting he’d be this ready to take her blood.

“I’m not so patient, human,” he tilted his head at her as his impish eyes wandered elsewhere, “anywhere in particular is fine by me.”

‘Anywhere?’ that response left Anna puzzled, where else could he bite apart from the neck?

His gaze was still fixated on her body but Anna didn’t dare to follow the specific direction of those hazel-green eyes. Her heart raced and he made her feel naked just by staring like that.

“The same area would be fine, but....” She wasn’t even done speaking when he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

“Hold on tight if it drains you, at least I’ll know when to stop.” He whispered before sinking his teeth directly at where he bit her before, as though he couldn’t wait to get his fangs into her delicious skin again.

Anna’s eyes widened at first due to the quick sting but she was expecting a much more painful prickle. Strangely, it didn’t hurt like the first time he bit her. Instead, she could feel her body grow weak with each passing minute when he sucked her blood out of her body and was this what he meant by she should hold on tight?

Her arms immediately wrapped his neck when she felt her knees buckle and his arms around her waist supported her to stand straight. She remained oblivious to the fact that she would end up sealing their bodies together in an intimate manner but her mind was far from that. Her eyes were closed shut and the same familiar heat that occurred whenever he sucked her blood was felt again.

She shivered when he continuously drained her blood with no mercy, not wanting to give her a break or let her catch her breath. Her blood had always been tempting and just getting the chance to taste it again, he’d make sure to relish the moment.

Meanwhile, Anna held on even tighter as his hot lips on her bare neck nearly forced a moan out of her, he was just too good at this and their bodies pressed against each other only added to the heat of the moment. She wanted him to stop, but didn’t want him to stop at the same time.

He slowly pulled back to look at her and met her brown eyes, his eyes were crimson red when he met her stare and a sudden thump at the left side of his chest caught his attention.

For the first time, Anna saw him stare at her with such tenderness in his eyes, followed by an unreadable sadness as his hand slowly grazed her thighs through her gown, making him wonder what it’d really feel like to feel them bare against his hands.

The feeling was all too familiar for Anna and he didn’t stop there. Anna felt those hands travel up to her waist, her stomach and lingering a little longer on her breast before reaching to caress her soft cheek.

He suddenly uttered something that he himself barely heard, but it was enough to make his heart beat.

“Aveline.”

Anna’s eyes widened when he mentioned that name again, the look in his crimson eyes turned predatory, like the one in her dream and before she knew it, he was kissing her.

It was nothing like the teasing kisses he shared with her, there was something entirely different about this one, his unforseen possessiveness, the way he kissed her fiercely while thrusting his wicked tongue into her mouth and giving her no chance to breathe.

It ignited something inside of her and before Anna knew it, she was moving back, hoping to break the kiss but he followed and the next thing, she felt her back against the wall and now she was trapped with Roshan devouring her completely.

It was burning her up and it felt hard to keep up with how demanding his kisses were. She let out a whimper, wanting him to know she couldn’t breathe but he didn’t give her that chance and trapped her arms against both sides of the wall.

Why did he call her Aveline? Her name was Anna... and why was he kissing her like this? Despite being so demanding, she couldn’t deny it felt good and she felt ashamed for thinking like this.

Roshan on the other hand was lost in his sudden possessiveness over her, he had been trying to ignore what she did to him and his body but today, he couldn’t hold himself back. His once usually flaccid shaft was now throbbing and hard against the woman he wanted to rip naked and feel even more.

But the unexpected knock on the door stopped him from carrying out his sinful plans.
