Chapter 63 - Lucian's POV (Can't get away from her)
I placed her on her bed.
Her house had been locked for what seemed like months in human time. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. A series of stale milk packets waited for her return at her doorstep. They were accompanied by the everyday newspapers. I made the bed clean by changing the top sheet.
She stirred a little in my arms. Or was I imagining?
I placed her down as the moon light fell directly on her face.
Her skin shined just like a dragon's scale. Her hair was untied. It looked like flowing water, flaming her face.
I touched her forehead to move the stray tresses.
Gosh! I had to back off. Seeing her like that made my heart skip, touching her skin almost gave me a heart attack.
It was not happening all over again. I was not falling for a human girl whom Draco had taken in as his mate.
I pulled my own hair back as I placed my hand on my head.
I wanted to head back. To the Dragon Realm. I was not bound to take care of her, I had volunteered. I could have easily sent anybody else to be by her side till she recovered.
I turned to take a leap from the window but I could not.
Something made me rush to the side.
I grabbed her hand and kissed on her tiny, delicate fingers.
"Will you be mine when you return to yourself? Or will you choose him as well like Kiara did? "
I was crying. I should have been ashamed of myself. But there was nobody around to witness my misery. How lucky of me.
Just then, her fingers moved. Her grip on my intertwined fingers tightened. I looked up.
Was she awake? Did she hear me?
I was wrong. She was still dreaming.
I, however, tightened my grip on her response and held on tight.
I don't remember how long I sat there, watching her sleep.
I checked my pocket. It was time to feed her a revitalizing pill. Her body needed nutrition while her soul fought within.
I had to touch her lips to make way for the pill inside.
I pressed my finger inside, making a way between her teeth. It was warm inside her mouth. It felt good as her teeth pressed on my finger. I softly pushed the pill inside. The saliva would dissolve the content and she would be nourished. As I pulled my hand back, I saw my finger wet with her drool.
I could not resist the temptation of testing her. I put that finger in my own mouth.
The more I was trying to make a distance between ourselves, the more I was getting pulled in her direction. It was annoying. It was disgusting. It was making me powerless.
So I thought of going the opposite way. I was about to do as I pleased.
Perhaps that would let my desire for her diminish.
I grabbed her neck and went straight in to lock that kiss.
It was the sweetest bliss.
My eyes closed as I drank from her essence. It felt like a thirsty crow, fluttering over the desert for ages.
I drank like there was no beginning or end. I drank like my life depended on that.
I handled her as delicately as I could though my body wanted to rummage through everything.
I grabbed her love handle at the hip, pressing her body onto me. She was soft and tender. Not only her human flesh but her built in general.
I gave myself the permission to slip my hands behind her back. I traveled up her spine, then went down, kissing her deeper and deeper but nothing was enough.
I had to literally pull myself out of the situation. Had I not I have no idea how far I would have gone.
I put her down on the bed once again and then walked out.
The cool break of human earth blowing on my face felt different this time.
There was no count as to how many times I had been there, yet it was feeling very different this time.
I was standing on her front porch when I saw a man, suspiciously walking around Liana's main entrance.
I observed for a few minutes to check if that was a mistake. But the man kept peaking inside, trying to pull the gates, then walk away again only to come back. He kept repeating the pattern over and over again.
I zoomed behind him, grabbed his neck and pinned him right on the flat surface.
"Are you a thief trying to break in? You picked the wrong house mate! "
I was about to break his leg when he pleaded.
"No, No. Forgive me Mr. Dragon. You are also a dragon, aren't you? I am Mystic Joe. I was just trying to see if Miss Liana was back. There is something I needed to tell her. "
That sure was interesting.
This guy knew about dragons.
"What is your relationship with Liana? How do you know about dragons? How did you know I was one?"
Was this girl going about exposing our existence? Not that it mattered to us, but it surely would endanger her some day.
"I share a professional relationship with Miss Liana. We worked together when the Dragon Lord was wrongfully locked up in police custody. Since then there has been a lot and we lost touch. I only came back a couple of weeks ago because it was important. But I saw she had not been at her place for quite long. Was she with the Dragon Lord, in the Dragon Realm?"
He didn't have to keep repeating Liana's association with Draco over and over again. But what he said about him being locked up was interesting. We didn't know Draco had such an experience. Well, well, the information might someday be of my use.
As of now, I needed to get rid of the annoying pest.
