The Devil's Temptation!

Chapter 67

67 Burning Sensation

“M_my what?” Anna couldn’t stop herself from asking that question for the second time and her hands subconsciously felt the side of her neck.

Was he also tempted by her blood?

“Forget it....I shouldn’t have said it.” He threw his head back and closed his eyes, surprisingly looking unbothered and somewhat peaceful with himself for a change.

A reaction that left Anna blinking in disbelief.

“How can you possibly be fine with this when your health is at risk !” Anna couldn’t believe his calm response towards his life, was he really less bothered about the fact he might die from this?

But she got no response from him and was taken aback by how lightly he handled the situation.

“Listen to me, isn’t there another way?” She prompted, wanting him to take this seriously and to her relief, he suddenly looked thoughtful as his eyes fluttered open and she didn’t fail to notice the tired look in his beautiful crimson eyes.

He was getting weaker.

“There is..” he responded, “..... But for that, I need to be in the palace.”

.....

‘The palace?!’ Anna felt her hopes crushed at his second suggestion, knowing it wasn’t possible since his guards haven’t arrived yet, talk more of the journey back to his palace.

“Wha_so...” she barely knew what else to say and groaned in frustration, her head was spinning and she bit her lower lip while looking away, thinking about the suggestion he made earlier and her eyes went round. Having him draw her blood meant she’d feel his fangs in her....

“Are all Demons tempted by my blood?” She had to ask for safety reasons and he nodded with his eyes still sealed shut.

“Not all Demons are the same, some can be tempted by blood, some are by soul, Demons are different and I’m both.” He nonchalantly uttered and Anna seriously couldn’t tell how comforting his words were meant to be because they were not.

She suddenly felt stuck when she felt his temperature with the back of her palm and they weren’t reducing at all, more like they increased at an abnormal rate and he was sweating. The fact his expression suddenly looked delicate to the point she was even afraid to hurt him stunned her even more.

One thing was for sure, she couldn’t get tired of staring at him.

“So hot!” He murmured to himself and shifted uncomfortably, his hands reaching to loosen his robe. Anna frantically helped him undo his straps out of helplessness and the fact he needed help with it. His chest was instantly exposed to her guilless eyes and she reluctantly looked away.

She snapped her mind back to the situation happening before her, his fever wasn’t coming down at all and the poison was spreading non-stop. If it continues like this then....

Her eyebrows curiously pulled together as though a thought had hit her. Was it affecting him this much because he was half Demon? The man earlier said something about Roshan being half human.

Anna didn’t know what else to do and sighed at the only option ringing in her head, the only option that oddly felt right and she wished it didn’t. She owed him that much at least, he saved her from the hands of his evil uncle and willingly carried her on his back all the way. Sparing him a little blood wouldn’t hurt right?

“Don’t drain me out, else I’ll kill you with my bare hands.” She warned and he opened his eyes to look at her, confusion clearly written on them.

“What?”

She moved her hair to one side of her neck and pulled the stubborn being towards her, making sure his head faced her exposed neck and she took a deep breath before uttering. “Take my blood.” She found the courage to say, but Roshan pulled back to meet her hesitant stare.

“Are you sure?” He needed to know, cause this was the one thing he wouldn’t force her into doing out of her will.

She shook her head and closed her eyes tightly, “now do it before I change my mind.”

Roshan’s gaze finally shifted to the paleness of her exposed neck and he gulped in restraint, his eyes glinted with unspoken desires and Anna felt a bit nervous at his delay.

“Uhm.. Roshan, will it hurt?”

“Definitely.”

“Wait what!!”

He immediately sank his fangs into her skin, earning a low whimper from Anna who wasn’t prepared for it just yet and her eyes momentarily widened at the quick sting that coerced not only at her neck, but her system as well.

Roshan pulled Anna closer to his body without even realizing it himself, her blood was even sweeter than he had expected it to be, like a sweet honey nectar that was freshly collected. He began to suck on it in an attempt to draw out more blood.

Anna’s mouth was opened as though she wanted to scream, but she held it back and grabbed a handful of his hair, leading her to straddle against him in order to steady herself as he showed her neck no mercy, she was already weak as it is and she hoped he’d stop soon enough.

She felt her heart stop when he sucked on her tender skin, equally wrapping his hand around her small waist as he feasted on her blood with so much hunger. Her body oddly heated up in response and feeling her body press against his made her insides swirl.

“Roshan.” She whispered with a voice that tended to arouse him even further, trying to gain his attention and he suddenly stopped after realizing what he just did. Pulling back, he licked the blood that lingered on her skin and Anna compulsively shivered from the heat of his tongue.

He looked at her face, her heart beat drummed in his ear and her whole face was red.

“Are you alright?” He asked, leading Anna to avert her stare and where he bit her left a burning sensation swirling through her body. Roshan stared at the woman who was currently straddling him, the heat of the moment made his mind foggy and he couldn’t help but admit her blood was one of the best he’s ever tasted.

“Yeah.” She responded.

The euphoric feeling hadn’t left yet and it’d take time to gain himself back, but having her straddle against him and having her warm body on his gave his mindset a little bit of unwanted thoughts which he found unnecessary at the moment.

Anna felt the area where he bit and it was wet, it made her face redder than that of a lobster and she didn’t even realize he was watching her.

“I get the feeling you don’t want me to stop.” He subtly uttered and right before her shocking eyes, he sexily licked the blood lingering on his lower lip before a taunting smile appeared.

“I asked you to feed me your blood, not seduce me.”
