Filled with panic, Kaelyn could only look to the side with stuttered breathing.
Crimson's eyes looked at her neck and then at her chest which was only covered by the towel. He also took note of all the scars from the parts he could see, but it took nothing away from her beauty.
Amused by how uncomfortable she seemed, he got even closer and had his lips close to her forehead as he seductively said, "It is satisfying to uncover such beauty and it completely changes my perception of you. Now, tell me, do you lack common sense?"
"I'm afraid I don't understand. Please step back." Her voice trembled.
"You should've ran in another direction when you saw those bats. How careless of you to return to the building. A part of me is glad you did because now I have you right in front of me and forget about the towel covering you." He then moved his lips towards her ear and whispered, "There's nothing underneath."
With trembling hands that held onto the towel, her heart raced and he could hear the blood rushing through her veins. He brushed his fingers against her neck as he pushed her hair out of the way and she gasped at the cold feeling of his touch. With a growing hunger, as he desired her at that moment more than ever before, he held onto her chin to keep her head still to the side.
Unable to take it any longer, she attempted to move but only with his fingers under her chin, he kept her in place .
"Must you be this.....this close?" she asked, her voice trembling with each word.
When Crimson noticed how uncomfortable she was in that situation, still with his fingers under her chin, he made her look up but she just couldn't. "Are you uncomfortable because of how you almost have nothing on, or is it because you've never had a man this close before?"
"It's...both."
Taken by surprise, Crimson smirked as he rubbed his thumb on her chin. "Are you a virgin?"
Mustering some courage, she nodded as she looked into his alluring gaze and just like that, she was completely drawn to him. He had an aura she couldn't resist, especially after she looked into his eyes.
"A virgin stands before me," he whispered, exploring her innocent emerald eyes as he caressed her cheek.
Suddenly, he dropped his hand from her cheek and took a few steps back, but still intensely stared at her with his seductive eyes. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't look away.
As he got further away from her and closer to the door so he could leave, he pointed at the dress on the bed. "Put that on and hurry. We need to talk." He smirked towards the end.
When he left, she let out a sigh of relief as she placed a hand on her chest to feel her fast heartbeat. She felt stuck on him when he stood before her, so much that she couldn't move yet he had stepped away from her.
She wondered how someone so monstrous, was equally so seductive.
As she reached for the silky dress on the bed, she sank her fingertips into the fabric and sighed with satisfaction at how perfect it was. She then remembered she no longer had to walk in her worn out dress since she had another one.
After wearing the dress, which had thin straps, exposing most of her shoulders, she stepped out of the bedroom and found him in the hallway.
When she got closer, he bit his lip when he noticed her erect nipples poking through the silky fabric and since she seemed not to notice, he decided not to inform her so he could feast his lustful eyes on them.
As they walked along the hallway which seemed to stretch on for eternity, she switched from left to right several times in amazement at how well decorated the hallway was. She even wished to go in several directions just to see the beauty of the mansion.
When they entered the spacious living room, she marveled at its aristocratic design, making her jaw drop in amazement.
He then told her to sit and she felt a rush in her body, finding him seductive and dominant whenever he gave her an instruction.
As she sat on the couch, she chuckled softly, finally experiencing what it was like to not sit on something hard.
He took the couch that had one seat and on the other side so he could directly face her. "What should I call you?" he asked.
"I'm Kaelyn. May I know your name?"
With a blank expression, he lightly shook his head. "We'll get to that later. First of all, I mentioned to you that I was a vampire and you saw it for yourself, especially when you called me a monster, so why do you seem comfortable around me?"
Not knowing how to respond, she could only fiddle with her fingers. "I... I don't know."
"Is it because I brought you here?"
She admitted how she was extremely terrified of him, especially when he had sent her running for her life out of that abandoned building. She had never seen anything like that before and when she woke up in his house, despite how he terrified her once again, something she had longed for, which was being in an actual house, was all she could think about.
"It's been three years since I started living on the streets so seeing myself in such a beautiful bedroom brought me so much joy."
He crossed his legs and leaned back more, glancing at her erect nipples several times as he asked about her family.
It took her a moment to talk about it, for the incident was so disastrous that it always brought her pain. As she explained that she lost her family in a house fire, she remembered how difficult it was for her and it instantly brought her to tears.
"I told you to tell me about your family, not cry about it," he said, glancing at the curves of her breasts which he could also see thanks to the silky fabric, igniting another stir in his groin. "Do you like it here?"
She wiped her tears, her lips curving into a smile as she thought about his question. "Yes, I really like it here."
"I'd like to know why."
"I feel safer here compared to being out there in the cold."
He uncrossed his legs to inch forward, killing her with his seductive gaze. and "Do you think it's safer to be alone with a vampire than out there in the cold?"
"No, it isn't, but looking at the situation I'm in, I prefer this. Having a decent shower, some clean clothes and a roof over my head means a lot to me."
"Do you know what vampires do to humans?" he whispered, stroking his chin with a sinister charm.
"Y-yes, I'm aware. I've heard so many stories."
"And do you know that I can do that to you at this very moment and no one can stop me?"
As she thought about it, the possibility sent shivers down her spine but she exhaled deeply to stop herself from freaking out. "I'm aware, but I'm better off here than out there. And if you wanted to kill me, you would've done so when you threw me against the wall back in that building."
"Did you really think that was me?"
"I couldn't tell since I couldn't even see who it was, but I assumed it was you."
"Well, it wasn't."
"Then who was it?"
"Now isn't the time for you to ask such questions. Despite what I can do to you as a vampire, you're not afraid of me because of what I've done for you so far?"
She nodded, nervously rubbing the back of her neck as she faced the floor.
As Crimson stroked his chin, he took in the view of Kaelyn's vulnerability in every sense possible. All she seemed to be looking for were the simplest things in life and he had more than that to offer.
"Since you can have all you need here, start living with me," he said.
With wide eyes, she looked up at him. "Did I hear that right?"
Unamused by her silly question, he clenched his jaw. "I'm certain you heard me the first time, or did you suddenly lose your sense of hearing?"
"Of course I heard you. I just didn't expect it. Did you really mean it?"
With his gaze on her perky breasts, there was another thought lingering in his mind, the high possibility of her not having any underwear on at that moment. "Yes, start living with me, as your master," he said.
"Master?"
He planned to explain what it meant, but first started off by saying he was offering her a new start. He would provide her with everything she would need, whatever it was but only under specific conditions. He then chose not to speak any further about it, until he would be certain that what he had mentioned so far had sparked some interest in her.
Curious to hear all about it, she asked about the conditions with no hesitation.
He intertwined his fingers as he fixed his gaze on her neck, the excitement building within him as he gave her the conditions. "I get to have the pleasure of feeding on you whenever I wish and as your master, you'll always allow me. I can only become your master after you let me take your virginity."
Not prepared for hearing about the virginity, she gasped. "I just didn't... didn't expect that," she said.
"Once we're intimate, you'll belong to me forever. Something important to note, I have a special ability to control people's actions." His eyes turned more seductive, confidently smirking at her. "You'd be stripping for me right now if I desired it. However, such isn't the goal for me. When it comes to intimacy, you do it willingly. It's more rewarding when you want it, too."
Not used to hearing such direct and erotic descriptions, Kaelyn cleared her throat several times. "I must say, that was quite a specific way of explaining your conditions to me."
"I prefer being straight forward. I believe it is only then that you'll understand what I mean and will do exactly as I expect. One more thing I forgot to mention, I'll usually feed on you when making love to you."
Unable to take it anymore, she shook her head as she covered her ears. "Please say nothing more than that!"
Unable to lust after her from that distance any longer, faster than she could blink, he darted in front of her and she flinched, leaning back in her seat as she recovered from his sudden appearance.
As he towered over her, he leaned forward and rested his hands on the couch to trap her body. "After you let me take your virginity and I become your master, our bond can't be broken." He brought the back of his hand to her cheek and gently brushed against it as his gaze constantly switched between her perky breasts and innocent emerald eyes. "So tell me, what do you think?"
She shut her eyes, dropping her head to the side at the cold feeling of his hand as she thought about it. She even remembered the attack in the building.
"About the attack in the building," he said, shocking her and she opened her eyes. To clear his name, he clarified that there was another vampire in the building who had attacked her and meant to kill her.
"Really?" she asked, vulnerably looking into his seductive and dominant gaze.
"Yes, but I saved you." He brushed the back of his hand against her neck.
"Thank you for saving me." She then pressed her teeth down on her tongue, trying to hold back her reaction.
"Of course, I wasn't going to let Aiden have you, not even a taste of your sweet scented blood."
"Aiden?"
While still that close, he brought his face to her neck, right near her ear to whisper. He told her in a town like Old Gravestone, lurking with so many vampires and other beings, she wouldn't last that long. He advised her to take that into consideration while thinking about his offer.
After he whispered seductively, he brought his face right in front of her again, then stared deeply into her soul as he made his eyes glow. Terrified, she instantly looked away, her chest rising and falling with rapid breaths. He was glad she didn't dare look into them as that was his way of showing dominance.
"You're just as I thought, beautiful and obedient," he said, licking his lips. He gently rubbed the tip of his nose against her neck, the sensual feeling making her eyes roll back as her breath hitched.
Despite his intense desire to sink his fangs into her neck, he chose not to, as he was making a deal with her.
Even though Kaelyn still had her innocence, Crimson was a temptation she just couldn't resist. With the sensual feeling of his caresses on her neck only getting more intense, she parted her lips, softly moaning at the sensation as her thighs rubbed against each other.
