Chapter 3: The Devil's Meal

BACK in the old days, I heard that Blade’s tower was swarming with women. In fact, they said that all the beautiful ladies in the world could be found inside his territory that’s why countless men from noble families wanted to be there but only selected people were invited to join the revelry.

So, that was the reason? He needed the women to satiate his hunger through blood and sex?

I swallowed hard when Blade gazed at my body. He was only looking at me, but it already felt like he was touching me with his eyes. I stiffened when I felt that part of him getting bigger in my hand. It was my first time touching a man’s private part and I was not quite sure what to do.

Blade’s unwavering gaze pierced through me. I quickly took my hand off his lower half. The air was cold because it was still raining outside, but I was sweating buckets. When I pushed him away and I stepped back, to my relief, he didn’t stop me this time.

I took a sharp breath to compose myself. Tonight, I even wore my wedding dress to remind me of my purpose each time I wanted to give up from fatigue. I was so close to reaching my goal now. If I swallow my pride and endure this humiliation, I could ensure my clan’s safety especially now that Blade got his freedom back.

Blade casually leaned on the wall and crossed his arms. “Scared? Are you backing out now, princess?”

I looked straight into his eyes and with a voice full of conviction, I said, “Never.”

I just needed some time to breathe and to calm my nerves. He had no idea what his massive presence could do to others.

I turned my back on him to unzip my gown. I allowed it to fall on the floor. During that time, the devil stood quietly. I felt him following my every move with his eyes. When I turned to face him, I could feel my face burning by the intensity of his stares. But then, I saw his Adam’s apple moved when I unhook my bra. And when I took off the last piece of fabric that was covering my most sensitive part, the calm expression he had on disappeared.

I lifted my chin even if my chest was pounding as if it will explode any time soon. This was the first time that I had ever exposed my body like this.

“I am yours, your grace, until you say otherwise. Please allow me to serve you with my body. Feel free to feed as much as you want from me.”

I clenched my hands. Never in my life had I served someone else before. Despite the servants’ misgivings about their wolf less princess, they still served me. If they were to see how badly I had fallen, I had no doubt they would rejoice.

And they could laugh at me now along with the people who usurped my father’s throne. They could say all the ugly things about me. It was all right. But in the end, I will make sure to crawl out of this hell hole. I will bounce back and rise once again. I will make them all pay for every cut, every loss, and every suffering me and my clan had to go through.

Tears slid down my cheeks, but I didn’t look away. Instead, I spread my arms open to invite Blade to close the gap between us. Because I didn’t think I could do it myself. Just him watching me like this was enough for my knees to lose their strength.

And the devil didn’t let me wait too long. In a blink of an eye, he was standing so close to me again. His fingers grazed my cheek as if to wipe my tears before they aimed for my lower lip.

“You are driving me wild, princess. I am almost tempted to believe that you are doing this on purpose. But I must warn you now. I have starved for so long. Even if you beg me to stop later on, it will be very impossible for me to do it.”

For a moment, my throat seized up in worry. But then, I strengthened my resolve and answered, “Then don’t.”

Blade’s eyes darkened with lust when I licked his finger on my mouth. He pressed his manhood against my belly. “The second thing you must remember about me: once you spit out the words, you could never take it back.”

My body tensed up when once again, I felt how hot and ready he was for me. “I would never do that, my king. But I am new at this. That’s why I ask you to please… feed slowly.”

“I cannot guarantee that but I will try.”

“That’s more than enough for me. Thank you, your grace.”

Blade growled like a starved beast. “You were the one who put yourself on the table, princess. Do not blame me for what will happen next,” he said as he grabbed my waist and claimed my mouth.

My eyes widened. His kisses were different from Chester’s. There was no tenderness in it. I could feel how hungry he was with the way he bit my lower lip to urge me to open my mouth until his ravenous tongue met mine.

In just one arm, Blade was able to lift me up. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist while my hands clung onto his shoulders for support. I closed my eyes and kissed him back.

I didn’t know that my first time would be like this. If my wedding had pushed through, I would have been by Chester’s side. If only he remained to be the loving man I knew, then by this time, he would have taken me to the bed while showering me with soft kisses…

But all that was just a fantasy now.

I was stunned when I felt something soft against my back and when I inhaled something very fragrant. When I opened my eyes, I gasped when I realized that I was already lying on an immaculate white bed. In an instant, the entire surrounding had changed. And out of nowhere, there were red petals falling on us. The petals were filling the place.

Their fragrance had washed away the smell of blood. His magic was truly astonishing. And to think that he was not fully recovered yet. What more once he had fed enough?

Blade released me for a second and tore his shirt, exposing his large frame. And when he saw wonder in my eyes, he said, “You are my first virgin. And you are going to be my last, too. I had to at least make your first experience worth it.”

When Blade joined me on the bed and spread my legs, I knew I'd be going to hell for this.
