Chapter 233: 233. A Tour

Mauve got to the top of the stairs with Jael’s hand still around hers. She didn’t dare pull her hand away as it was pretty dark and she couldn’t see a thing. The topmost floor was mostly unused so it had an eerie feeling to it.

The stairs leading to the rooftop were at the end of the floor. Jael did not hesitate to lead her across the corridor. He got to the end of the floor in no time and led her up the short set of stairs.

"Stand back," he said as he walked toward the closed door. Mauve could barely make it out in the darkness.

She did as he requested and stood directly behind him as he unbolted the door and threw it open. The door screeched slightly as if protesting but Jael flung it open without effort.

Mauve blinked rapidly as the moonlight streamed in. She didn’t even have to step out to see the bright sky. From the doorway, she could see the blanket of stars surrounding the crescent moon.

The moonlight hit Jael, giving her a clear view of the side outline. She caught herself staring and quickly she looked away.

Without turning around, he grabbed her hand and walked forward. Mauve stepped in line with him as they walked out the door.

He abruptly stopped walking and she hit her forehead on his back. "It’s different," he said.

Mauve stepped out from behind him rubbing her forehead. "You haven’t been here in a full month, of course, it will be different."

She looked past him to the plants around, compared to when he was here there were more flowers. The last time he was here was when she had received the blooming flowers in vases.

He turned to look at her and smirked, "Would you prefer I come here often?" He asked.

Mauve looked away, "I didn’t say that." She pouted.

He had not once mentioned the question he had asked her nor was he acting differently. Did that mean there was nothing for her to worry about?

He pulled her closer to his body. She yelped as she hit his solid frame. Why did he have to pull her so hard?

"Give me a tour," he said with a raspy voice.

She raised her head to glare at him, "You don’t have to manhan..." The rest of Mauve’s words died on her lips as he caught sight of his fangs.

She blinked, it wasn’t long enough to be alarming but the fact that she could see them from this angle meant they had grown.

Usually, that meant he was either aroused or hungry. She doubted it was the latter. Did he plan to do anything here?

"Mauve," he called gently. "A tour, if you will."

"Of course," she whispered, suppressing the evil thoughts.

She could not believe she had considered that for a second, he was certainly rubbing off on her. Besides, it was still too early to do anything like that.

She pulled away from him and he took his time to let her go. Mauve slowly approached the section that held the garden, moving away from the door.

She could sense him closely behind her even though she couldn’t hear him. How could he walk so quietly?

"Mauve," he called suddenly.

She turned to look at him just as he grabbed her waist. She didn’t even know he was that close. The side of her body was pressed against him with his arm around her waist.

"What..." She started to say but the words barely made it out.

"The tour can wait," he said and bent his head.

Mauve’s eyes widened as Jael’s cold lips touched hers. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, coercing her lips to open to him.

She spun so she was facing him as she kissed his back. She grabbed the front of his chest for support as she stood on her toes. The inside of his mouth felt warm and he tasted sweet.

His fangs brushed against her tongue as she returned his gesture. Mauve heard a loud groan as he sucked on it and his arms around her waist tightened.

He broke the kiss and lifted her off the ground. She squealed as she was suddenly lifted into the air.

"Wrap your legs around my waist," he whispered and Mauve nodded.

Her dress bunched up as she did as she asked, her legs exposed in the moonlight.

"Jael," she groaned into his mouth as he kissed her again.

"Hmm," he mumbled, pressing her body against him.

One hand trailed upward, caressing her back while the other held her to him. The hand abruptly returned down, and Mauve felt it squeeze her rear.

There was no doubt about it, this was not going to end in just a kiss but out here? There was a limit to her unruliness.

Mauve’s eyes flew open and she broke the kiss. She rested her head on his shoulder as she hid her face.

"Jael," she called. Even though she broke the kiss his hand didn’t stop, she could feel him move her dress even higher.

"Hmm," he replied absentmindedly.

"Shouldn’t we go to the room?" Her face reddened as the words escape her lips.

"Ah, you’re not saying no." She buried her face deeper into his shoulders and he chuckled. "No time. There is no way I will have the patience to make all the flight of stairs."

Mauve heard a rip and felt air on her rear. Did he just rip her underwear? How can he do all that while still holding her up? She felt his hand move and Mauve jerked when his cold finger touched her burning entrance.

She heard him draw a breath. "You’ll be the death of me," he whispered as he teased her entrance.

Mauve reflectively ground her hips and his finger slipped in. She dug her teeth into his neck to keep from screaming out and Jael cursed.

From the sound of his voice, she could tell that whatever control he had was gone.
