Xiran’s POV
My eyes grew wide in shock as I saw her plunging that nib into her thumb. The impact resulted in breaking her skin and blood gushed out like a small fountain. The sll of her blood was even more intoxicating than I had imagined. I took a step back from her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I asked her, trying to control myself from lunging forward and drinking the oozing blood.
"The contract is about blood so it’s only feasible that I sign it with it." She replied ever so calmly like she had no care in the world. How was she so calm? It irked , I had never seen a girl not get affected by my charms and here she was sitting in front of playing with her blood like it was no big deal.
She then placed her thumb on the place of signature and moved it smoothly to sign the contract with her blood. Once she was done, she got up and walked over to and handed over the contract. "Here, officially my blood is all yours now." She spoke without any emotions being reflected on her face. As I took the folder from her hand and threw it casually on the bed, she extended her wounded hand toward .
"You can taste it now." Her deep turquoise eyes were fixated on . I hungered deeply for her blood, the elven blood was known for its exquisite taste but it was very rare to co by now. And, yet here was this elven girl standing right in front of offering her blood.
"If you say so," I answered her with a smile as I took her hand which was soft as velvet to touch and placed her thumb in my mouth and sucked lightly so as not to pain her already injured thumb. I didn’t lower my gaze and she held onto mine, without blinking her expression sombre making it impossible for to read what she was thinking.
"Sssss," she winced slightly as her lips parted a bit but then she clenched her mouth shut as if not to show she was in pain.
As her blood entered my system it seed to have filled my entire being with warmth. I had never tasted anything like that before, although I had drank elven blood before but never directly from an elf. It was so luscious as if I was savouring a fine wine, only that the taste has been enhanced a thousand tis. I didn’t want to stop so I closed my eyes and savoured her as she stood there silently observing .
If I wasn’t careful I would drain her and I knew better than that. So, after a few minutes, I reluctantly opened my eyes and slowly pulled out her thumb from my mouth. She was still watching closely as if trying to read . My senses had heightened and I felt this surge of energy coursing through . What was this sudden surge of power within ? Was it the effect of her blood?
She tried to remove her hand from mine but I didn’t want to let go of her yet. So, I pulled her closer to and held her by the waist. Her face was inches from mine. "Thank you," I whispered to which she just nodded without saying anything. I could feel her heartbeat had picked up the pace, it wasn’t as steady as it was a few monts ago. I did have so effect on her.
I slowly caressed her small round face with the back of my hand. "You should let go now," she asked softly.
"Why?" I asked her lazily as my body wanted to be in close proximity to her.
"I don’t want intimacy with you and your charms won’t work on ." She answered flatly.
"Then why is your heart beating so fast?" I asked her feigning curiosity as I traced her collarbone with my nose. Her heartbeat had beco so fast that it was thundering in my ears.
"Let go of ," she shouted and pulled herself back harder this ti, the imnse power she applied surprised . I had no idea that a girl like her could show such strength. I smiled and let her go. "Sorry, I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you. Just seeing how your body reacts to my touch. Seems like your heart likes but your mind doesn’t. I wish you would synchronise them so we could have more fun."
"Your definition of fun is extrely different from mine. Sorry, to disappoint you but that will never happen." She took a few steps back from and was rubbing her wrist. I might have held her hand too tightly.
Sighing, I went toward the bathroom, where we kept a first aid kit, taking it out from the cupboard in the bathroom I brought it with . She was standing there between the chairs and the bed looking bewildered when I walked out with the first aid kit.
"Sit," I ordered her pointing to the chairs. She sat down reluctantly and I sat beside her on the other chair. Taking out so antiseptic ointnt, bandages, scissors, and cotton, I placed them on the box.
"Your hand," I asked her as I extended my hand toward her. She placed her left hand in mine. I took cotton and placed so antiseptic ointnt on it and cleaned her wound with it. Then I cut so bandages and wrapped her thumb in them.
"Are you always so reckless?" I asked her curiously. "Maybe," her eyes were fixed on her injured/bandaged thumb. I sighed and got up.
"This is your room. I would have shared the room with you but since you don’t want any intimacy you can have it on your own. No male beside will be allowed in your room. So, you can relax. No one will hurt you, as long as I am here and you adhere to the rules. Don’t co out of the room until and unless I call you. If you need anything, let know. Frila, my assistant will help you with everything, though. Food, clothes, accessories, whatever you need, she will provide for you. If you have any hobbies you want to pursue let know. I can arrange for that too." I explained to her all the details.
"I need canvases, paints, brushes, palettes and a sparring partner. Since my hobbies are painting and martial arts." She replied calmly to leaving speechless once again as I tried to comprehend what she had just said. ...
