Blood+Lust: Love At First Bite

Blood+Lust: Chapter 9

- LUST -

Zilliana's Point of View

THE VAMPIRE's PACT is like a vow that can only be broken by someone's death. And that is us. Our lives are now aligned. We are now bound by this vow. It's a sacrificial gambit in which he swore to his life that he'd be mine forever, and in exchange for that, I would protect him.

I'm burning hot. Fuck, this is not the right time to feel this way.

He carried me. Hindi ko na maigalaw ang buong katawan ko. And the moment he touched me, it awakened something within me. It's hot. It's burning. The warmth of his hands envelops my skin, and it sends fire into my veins.

It's been decades... since I felt something like this. I can't control it. Even if I can, it cannot be undone. This is... something else. This is...

"What happened to you? Why's your face so red?" He checked my forehead. I bite my lips for the sensation it gives me. But also to stop myself from moaning out.

Lust...

"You should...." hindi ko matapos ang sasabihin dahil masyado na akong binabalot ng pagka-uhaw sa dugo, "Ahh..." ungol ko ng hawakan niya ang aking pisngi at leeg upang alamin kung may lagnat ba ako. "Don't touch me..." hirap na hirap akong sabihin iyon.

He stopped walking to check on me again. "You're burning hot! Are you having a fever?! Is it because of the oath?" Bakas ang pag-aalala sa tono ng boses niya.

But this is not the right time for that! He should be worrying about himself. Is it... going to be a full moon tonight? That's even worse! I can't control myself during the full moon!

"P-put me down! Leave me alone! Umalis ka na!" I warned and tried to escape from his hold, but he gripped me so tight that I couldn't escape. I kept pushing him, but I was so weak that he didn't even budge. Hinang-hina na ako. Pinipigilan ko pa ang sarili. Parang hindi ko na kayang kontrolin ang sarili ko.

"What's happening to you?! Kailangan nating bumalik sa bahay para makapagbihis ka! Tingnan mo nga yang suot mo gutay-gutay na dahil sa laban niyo kanina! I saved your life by forming a pact with you--"

"S-shut up..." I tried so hard to talk normally, but a slight moan escaped instead. I can't help it! It's because he unlocked something he shouldn't have. I shouldn't be like this! Come on, control yourself!

After a hundred years, my thirst for blood returned. It wasn't just any thirst. It was accompanied by lust! I don't want to fight it because if I did, I would put his life in danger. I'm going to lose sight of myself the moment I get a taste of his blood! This thirst for blood... along with the lust that I'm feeling... it can only be stopped if I have sex with someone I love! We had just formed a pact, making it permissible to drink his blood. But what if his blood isn't enough? I could end up killing him. He should have just let me be earlier! I have the ability to regenerate. Why did he have to do that?! I can't even use my power... the others will sense me... Anong gagawin ko...?
