Chapter 26
“Why are you with him earlier?!”
Candela jumped out when she heard that voice soon as she stepped inside her room. She wasn’t able to defend herself when Lord Blade harshly dragged her inside. Pinning her into the door leaf while staring at her fatally.
Just like what she have expected. But she didn’t expected that he will going to interrogate her that fast. She wasn’t even change her clothes and she just finished her dinner in the first floor.
“Are you waiting for me, Lord Blade?” she asked instead. As if there’s something she can do to lessen his anger towards her. Even if she explain her side, it’s impossible for him to believe her.
He’ll only think that she’s weaving her lies so that she could save herself. And even if she tried to clean her name, Lord Blade will still punish her. So, what’s the use of making herself clear…
Lord Blade’s anger seems double. “Why are you with that bastard, Candela? Didn’t I made myself clear to you last night? I made myself clear –”
“Yeah, you made yourself clear,” she cut him. She looked at her bored. “What’s the used of making yourself clear to me when I won’t going to follow you? Have you forgot that this is still my life. My life, my rules,” she added and instantly winced in pain when she felt his nail dug on her skin.
Groan escaped from her lips when Lord Blade dug it even more. His veins were all visible on his neck. That’s explain how mad he is but still, Candela remain unconcern.
“I marked you as mine!” there’s an emphasis on his words.
“No need to rubbed that on my face. So what if you marked me? I didn’t care. You marked me, and then so? Why do you need to set conditions for me? I don’t set conditions for you even if I marked you as well. You’re unfair. Such an unfair gruesome and selfish prince!” she yelled at him.
Blade freed her hands. When she finally freed her hands, she caressed her injured part and tried to heal it. But to her surprised, Blade get her hands again and licked the bloods dripping from her wounds. He even licked the wound itself and eventually, it heal faster than she think.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Soon as her wounds finally healed, she pulled out from her hands. Blade looked at her but unlike earlier, his expression are more sore of softened.
“Are you mad?” he asked her but she didn’t reply. She just passed by him and walked through her open window. She thinks that Lord Blade used it to sneak on her room. How rude!
“Can you go now? I’m changing my clothes,” she said but just as she expected, what can Lord Blade be?
Well, be rude and rude and rude all the time.
Blade just sat on her bed. Without her permission, he even lay the half of his body on the bes while remaining the other half in the air. His eyes were fixed on her so she avoided it.
“Come on, Candela. Don’t avoid my eyes. Should I remind you of what happened last night so that you won’t be shy?”
“Shut up! You know what, why can’t you just leave? Or better yet, put me into dungeon now and start punishing me for stealing your precious knife. That’s kind way better for me. At least, you won’t going to barge in my room again just like what you did now. How about that, Lord Blade?”
Blade just shook his head while chuckling. “Why would I going to imprison my Candela? Oh, for stealing my knife? Well, sorry to tell you and sorry to burst out your bubbles but I won’t going to do that.”
Candela became irritated. She can’t reign her frustration even more. “But why?!” she exclaimed. “I now willing to be prison so why not put me into dungeon? Just to get rid of you, I’ll going to take that as my punishment –”
“Punishment?” Lord Blade stood up. He brow arched while slowly stepping towards her. “Did you just say punishment? What about this, as my punishment?”
He threw her on her bed and before she could able to stand up, Lord Blade is now on her top. Pinning her hands again on the bed so she won’t able to move.
He sniffs her neck that makes all hair on her nape stand up. He started licking her neck down to her collarbone up to her throat. And as he doing it, Candela’s throat became dry. Her lips as well and all she could was to pressed her eyes shut before she could feel his lips being pressed into her.
Blade started kissing her. And every time that he’ll going to sucked her neck, moan escaped from her lips. Her heart is now also going crazy. Holy Moly! Here her heart again…
“I’m madly attracted to your smell, My Candela. No doubt that, that bastard is also attracted to you,” he said before nipping her neck.
“You’re thinking differently, Lord Blade…” she said weakly and after that, she let out a moan again especially that Lord Blade’s tongue becoming even playful. It traveled down, lower… to the valley of her breast since he already unbuttoned her blouse.
“Who says I’m getting it wrong? I clearly understood that that bastard is into you. So why the hell are you defending him?”
She let out a deep sighed as Blade continue what is he doing. And bullshit! Why isn’t she stopping him again? For the second time, she let him doing this things to her…
“That bastard is looking at my property, intently. As if he wants something to tell. Those stares he give to you, I don’t want it. Fuck! I’m so fucked up! What have you done to me, Candela?”
“I’m not doing anything…” she reasoned out.
Blade lifted his head on her. And there, she meets his frustration written on his face.
“That’s exactly driving me nuts! To the fact that you didn’t do anything yet, how much more if you already did something? What’s going to happen on me?”
Candela, out of nowhere, couldn’t help but to slipped a smile on her lips. Seeing Lord Blade, having tantrum in front of her, she found it cute, though.
“Why are you smiling?” Her smile quickly faded as soon as Lord Blade noticed it.
“I’m not smiling–”
“Yes you are,” he pointed out. “I saw you smiling, Candela. I swear, I did so you.”
Candela rolled her eyes. “So what if I really did? Go away now, you already give me my punishment.”
“You smiled at me?”
“So what?!” she yelled before standing and fixing her blouse. She thought that Blade will going to get away from her since he is done with his so-called punishment.
But Candela threw off guard when Blade hugged ber from behind. Like a vampire who gets clingy…
“You smiled at me, does it mean you’re not mad at me anymore?”
But intead of answering it by words, Candela quickly turned around and she just found herself, tiptoe while kissing Blade.
Maybe… just maybe, she could break her own rules since reigning her emotions that time wasn’t longer helpful. She just felt like she needs to do that. That she needs to kiss Lord Blade… the vampire whom she already bound to.
