Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 23 His Effect On Her

"You want my loyalty?" she asked.

"Yes. Your loyalty!" Kira promptly responded, the smile on his face never left.

Marceline groaned inwardly while staring at him with disbelief. For some reason, a feeling of disappointment surged up in her heart. She really thought Kira was referring to her when he said he wanted her.

'You. I want you.' Those words resounded in her ears like a beautiful melody, making her heart flutter. But unfortunately, Kira just wanted her loyalty… her damn loyalty.

'I want to punch this guy and rip that cheeky smile off his face!' Marceline thought to herself, grinding her teeth in annoyance while giving Kira a cold sharp glare.

"Why the hell do you want my freakin' loyalty?! I am the one offering you to work for me. You should be the one giving me your loyalty, not the other way around." Marceline spoke spontaneously, getting worked up.

Kira blinked his eyes in amusement. The grumpy tigress had awakened. He thought she was getting furious for no reason.

Not wanting to be intimidated by her, Kira leaned over, pushing her against the headboard of the bed. He trapped her again using his large figure.

Marceline scowled at him defiantly, meeting his gaze. Kira liked this fierce side of her. He lifted her chin as he drew his face closer to her as if he was going to kiss her.

But Kira stopped when their faces were just inches apart from each other. Marceline tried to hold her breath, anticipating his next move.

'Is he going to kiss me? Should I push him or not?'

Marceline was having an internal battle in her mind when she heard Kira's deep husky voice.

"I want your loyalty because the last thing I want to happen is to be betrayed again by a woman close to me…" Kira said meaningfully while his eyes lingered on her red kissable lips.

*Hiccup*

Marceline let out another surprised hiccup, making Kira chuckle cheerfully. He could hear it~ the rapid beating of Marceline's heart.

At that certain moment, Kira realized that he was also affecting her emotions as much as she was affecting him.

As he could hardly control himself, Kira moved closer to her, nuzzling his nose on the crook of her neck.

'I meant it. I want you…' Kira mused under his breath. Then he sensually kissed the spot where he bit her last night.

Marceline's eyes widened at the feel of his cold lips pressing against her skin. She continued struggling through a series of hiccups. Kira was making it worse for her.

For the first time, Marceline raised her white flag as she pushed Kira away from her. She jumped off the bed to flee.

*Bam*

Marceline rushed inside the bathroom, shutting the door in a loud bang. She couldn't handle Kira's advances. But in fact, she was more afraid of herself as she was tempted to pounce on him again.

She didn't want Kira to think that she was a woman in heat who couldn't control her carnal desire.

Meanwhile, Kira just stared at the closed door, grinning from ear to ear. Who would have thought that he would enjoy every single moment and interaction he had with Marceline?

"This woman is so interesting. She never fails to amuse me."

The next thing he heard was the sound of running water. Marceline was already taking a warm bath as she tried to extinguish the flaming desire Kira had managed to awaken within her as early this morning.

Kira didn't move an inch in his current spot as he patiently waited for her to finish showering. They were not yet done talking. There were lots of things they had to discuss and settle.

Kira was also planning to ask Marceline about the portal. He wondered if she knew how to open the Northern Gate Portal which was one of the gates going back to Kingdom Phantasia.

Kira closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on his surroundings. Just like werewolves, Kira also had super senses like a better sense of sight, smell, and hearing.

He could hear everything that was happening in his surroundings within a one-kilometer radius.

At first, he was trying to scan the house if there were other people aside from the two of them. Luckily, they were just alone in that mansion today.

"The old lady and the guards are not here yet." He mumbled, his lips curling up into a smirk. He was glad to know that no one would disturb them.

Later on, Kira just found himself focusing his attention on the bathroom. With his curious mind, he couldn't stop himself from spying on Marceline. He wondered what she was doing behind that closed door.

From his current position, he could smell a very pleasant aroma coming from the bathroom~ her natural feminine scent mixed with the strawberry fragrance of her favorite soap and shampoo.

'She smells so sweet… but her scent is somewhat similar to Selene.' Kira frowned at that thought.

He immediately shook his head, trying to get rid of Selene in his mind.

Then he brought his attention back to Marceline. He could hear the water droplets pouring on her body and tracing her sexy figure.

Kira swallowed hard as Marceline's flawless and soft body appeared in his mind. He could still vividly recall her softness as his fingers and lips explored and caressed every part of her body.

Currently, he could tell that Marceline was rubbing her body using her hands with soap. How he wished he was the one touching her right now.

Kira gritted his teeth while clenching his fists as he tried to suppress the urge of barging into her bathroom and joined her.

Ugh! He was playing with fire the moment he decided to spy on her. Now, he was in trouble as he could feel something hardening underneath his pants.

'Oh no! Wrong move, Kira! What the hell are you thinking, putting yourself in this dire situation?!' He scolded himself inwardly.

Kira snapped his eyes open, his scarlet orbs burning with desire. Without thinking twice, he got up from the bed as he traced his steps toward the bathroom.

He pushed the door with his one hand causing it to collapse in an instant.

*Thud*

"Damnit! You broke my door again!"
