Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

Chapter 22: First Kiss

”Nikolai…why would I let you drink my blood?”

Seleneʼs voice seemed strange when she replied. Her mood and atmosphere differed from the usual bossy little princess. She knew it was usual that one bitten and turned into a Squire would desire blood, but a Lord would sate this need. Lord was the name given to the master of a squire.

However, they would only give them blood from a servant and never their own!

”Whatʼs wrong with that? Come on, you can have some of mine. I know you love the taste.”

”Donʼt tempt your master…I meant it!”

Nikolai didnʼt pull back because he felt her weakness. As if he found a gap in her armour, he leaned close to her neck. He knew she could crush him right now, yet her hands didnʼt push him away with power, but only for a display of show.

”What master, youʼre just a lovely woman. And I want you.”

”W-Wait…but… I?!”

ʼThis girl isnʼt the kind I thought she was; her lovely voice is almost quivering…ʼ

He couldnʼt have known, but to the vampires with lineage and class, the act of giving their blood willingly to another was something that a vampire could NEVER pass off as simple.

This reason was why vampires never fed their squires with fresh blood, and creating the contract was the first and last time unless that became a knight.

ʼHer eyes are so beautiful up this close, like crimson gemstones. I want to take them and place them on my shelf.ʼ

”Iʼm going to enjoy drinking your blood. I can smell how sweet and delicious it is from here.” Nikolai said with his eyes narrowed, both hands placing Selene against the back of the sofa as his enormous body covered her and reached down to her creamy white neck.

ʼHeʼs so big…I know I am stronger, yet my heart wonʼt stop racing…Why? Do I want the first man to bite me, be this beast? Am I so deprave—ʼ

Before she could finish, her mouth and eyes opened wide. The feeling of Nikolaiʼs sharp fangs biting into her neck was nothing like she had imagined. There was no sweet kiss. It was brutal, filled with his ferocity and power as his lips wrapped around the wound, sucking her blood like heavenly ambrosia.

”Ahn?! No…. Nikolai…. Donʼt…. Mmmn~ strange…!”

His powerful tongue slid along her soft skin, tickling and numbing the pain as she felt his fangs piercing her deeper, the sharp yet euphoric pain growing in her neck while his hands slipped down and clasped around her hips.

Selene could escape. She might have…However, the moment his fangs pierced her neck, she felt something unknown, a dark, primal pleasure that set off the wick of flame in her abdomen, her eyes turning red and fangs descending with their pearly white sheen.

Nikolai was clueless about her changes because he, too, experienced heaven. Seleneʼs blood tasted different from the thug or thrall, like drinking the most delicious wine or cocktail in his throat, never stopped guzzling. More, he needed all of her blood.

”Nikolai... I canʼt stop myself... itʼs your fault~ donʼt blame me.”

Because she couldnʼt quite bite his neck, while he bit her, she lifted his right arm and kissed his wrist before dragging her tongue along the soft skin. A searing heat inside his body exploded the moment her fangs touched his wrist.

”Selene!”

He wanted to speak, but all that came out was a deep and husky groan. Selenʼs fangs pierced his wrist slowly, and like a delicate kiss between lovers, she began drinking his blood. Unlike his, her hands were soft and caressed his arm, her lips and tongue lapping at the wound with the most elegant and skilled movements. She savoured every bit of his blood as it poured into her mouth.

[Wow... kids these days, do you know in my day, this could get you grounded for a month... Itʼs like having sex in the middle of the house!]

The words of Eliza in his necklace went ignored as their bodies naturally fell onto the couch, with the soft body of Selene crushed by Nikolai, her mouth affixed to his wrist while wrapping her long, smooth legs around his hips.

Time was meaningless. They did not know how many minutes passed. When Selene finally released his wrist, her face was flush with heat and pleasure, her eyes half-closed and her mouth open, drool sliding down her chin.

With glowing eyes, she looked at Nikolai, his glowing red eyes and her blood dripping from his lips, painting them like lipstick.

”Nikolai... Iʼm feeling really weird. I didnʼt realise drinking blood would be this amazing.”

”Yeah, same for me.”

They were two vampires who drank each otherʼs blood and knew how delicious their blood tasted. However, Nikolai assumed this was normal, but for Selene, who saw countless people feeding and sharing blood, this was too passionate; her body felt too empowered, and despite him draining her, Seleneʼs bones, muscles, and skin felt revitalised.

ʼI can feel a connection to him; my blood and his are intertwined. What does this mean... this isnʼt how it should be, and yet... I do not protest, and I could get used to it.ʼ

As she was in her thoughts, the enormous figure of Nikolai slowly got off her and sat on the couch, wiping his bloody mouth with his left hand while his right was still wounded and bleeding.

”Can we do this often?” Nikolai felt a little affected by the strange sensation and feeling; his hunger vanished, and his strange feeling of irritation and anger calmed; though he still felt lustful, it was under control and only directed towards Selene, so if he left soon, he would be fine.

”If you behave.” Seleneʼs voice was not cold or commanding. She was more like a cute girl who just wanted a little fun.

”I wonʼt forget this, Selene, the taste of your blood and body... I wonʼt hand it over to anyone else.”

With that statement, he stood up and walked towards the door, unaware that the otherʼs face was bright red; his words were honest and always what he felt. However, because he lacked understanding and identification as a vampire, these words were like a romantic poet serenading his love, and he said them with such power, confidence and a strangely forceful tone it left Selene breathless.

Selene was on the couch, her hair a mess like someone dragged her through a hedge, her dress hiked up over her hips revealing a sexy pair of red silk panties slightly pushed to the side... if someone came it, then she could never tell them it was ʼjustʼ feeling.

Yet she didnʼt react to this state and only leaned back, closing her eyes as she hugged her shoulders. Her body was warm; it was a sign that her blood and life mixed with Nikolai, and yet, she didnʼt hate the idea. Although she was a little annoyed, there were hundreds of times she could kill him or pull away.

ʼMaybe I have been alone for too long... perhaps this isnʼt so bad. At least for now... Allow me to dream of this moment of bliss... Nikolai.ʼ

Selene was not a fool, and Nikolai was not a saint.

If she didnʼt control herself and her emotions, the chances were that one of them would die. However, as a vampire, death was a common thing. Selene cared more that if her father knew, then it wouldnʼt just be a simple test...

He would kill Nikolai, and she would lose all freedom.

***

Meanwhile, outside the apartment, Eliza was scolding Nikolai for being too lewd.

[You need to be aware of how to treat vampire girls! To a girl who acted just now was like losing her virginity!]

ʼEh? I am sure sheʼs drank lots of peopleʼs blood... right?ʼ

[WRONG! Especially for ladies like Selene, could you not see how poor and amateurish her bite was? Youʼre still wounded because she doesnʼt know how to bite properly to camouflage the markings!]

[I declare it, that girl is a virgin!]

[As well... congratulations!]

”On what?”

[Strength: 35 (+8), Endurance: 40 (+10), Dexterity: 28 (+5), Agility 30 (+7)]

[Intellect: 25 (+7), Wisdom: 30 (+5), Charisma: 30 (+12)]

Nikolai almost toppled over, not from anaemia but the immense changes in his attributes... He knew he would grow stronger from blood; however, thinking that it would only be those he killed... Not from Selene directly!

ʼWill it be this much all the time... I can become a true warrior prince...ʼ

[Donʼt get cocky; this is because you took her virgin blood... the first kiss is always most important, and she will never forget that moment on the couch with you for the rest of her life. Different from the one when making you a squire... that moment will never leave her.]

ʼSo I wonʼt get anything in the future? What a shame...ʼ

[No you will just get a smaller amount, even so it will be more than what you get from a thrall. So, make sure you keep Seleneʼs blood on tap.]

He couldnʼt help but feel her joke was in poor taste, but he didnʼt deny it. Eliza was becoming more and more likeable to him.

Once Nikolai sorted himself out, he looked towards the streets and headed home.
