Chapter 279: 279. Reeling

"This way, we’ll run into the obstacles together." Jael gently to her as held her in his arms.

"What? I thought you could see in the dark," she asked in horror.

"Hmm, yeah but there is a limit. This is very dark." He replied with a serious tone.

"Then don’t just plunge in, wait for the light."

"Mauve," he called gently. "You’ve been in this room long enough, are you saying you couldn’t make your way to the bed without the light?"

"I didn’t say that," she replied and looked away from him.

Jael chuckled, "Don’t worry, I can see enough to get you to the bed without falling."

"I wasn’t worried," she blurted out.

"I didn’t say you were, did I?"

She shook her head. The darkness was overwhelming and it was especially annoying that it didn’t matter if her eyes were open or closed.

She wondered how anyone could possibly see this situation. Just how good we’re their eyesight? She couldn’t even see her hand in front of her face, let alone anything that might be lying on the path to the bed.

She leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulders as he carried her. Deciding to close her eyes, it was definitely easier that way.

He stopped and she figured they had gotten to the bed. As if to confirm her thoughts he carefully placed her on the bed, joined her, and pulled her against his body.

"When did you eat for the last meal?" He asked. "I’m starving."

"A little over an hour ago. You haven’t eaten?" She asked.

Jael frowned, "Mauve, if I had tried to join them, I wouldn’t be here right now."

"I know," her voice sounded low. "Shouldn’t you eat first?"

"As much as I want to, I also want to give Herbert enough time to prepare my meal so cleaning up comes first."

She nodded, "I am sure you’ll feel better when you do. You sound tired."

"I am," Jael announced and a yawn followed. We should bathe together, you haven’t washed up to sleep, right?" He said at the end of his yawn.

"Oh, there is no need for that, Mill prepared the water already, I just didn’t want to be stuck in the bath when you arrive."

"Were you waiting for me?" He asked.

She nodded.

"I see," he said and pulled her closer so she had no choice but to lean on him for balance.

Suddenly, he bent her slightly, lifting her chin. He brought his head down and kissed her in the darkness, finding her lips easily.

Mauve breath caught in her throat as their lips touched and she didn’t even think about it before she started to kiss him back.

She heard a sharp intake of breath and he cupped the back of her head. Mauve adjusted and wrapped her hand around his neck.

A loud knock pulled Mauve away from him quickly. She heard Jael groan loudly before he gave the order for them to come in.

Mauve squinted as the door opened, light streamed on from the hallway. It didn’t reach where she was on the bed but at least she could finally see something.

A servant walked in with candlelight and. a bucket of water while another servant brought into the bath.

Using the candlelight, they lit up a couple of candles in the room. It wasn’t so bright but at least now she could see.

As soon as the servant was done, he bowed his head and slowly retreated from the room.

"I can see," she sighed and leaned back against Jael.

"You make it sound as though you were blind."

"It felt like I was, you know considering it didn’t make any difference whether I closed or opened my eyes. I don’t know how you vampires can handle being in the dark like that."

"We are used to it," he whispered.

"I can see that, each time I always fear that something will grab me."

"Even when I’m with you?" He asked.

Mauve blinked, he sounded like he wasn’t teasing. "No," she replied and turn d away slightly.

"We should wash up before the water gets cold." He suddenly said.

She nodded and started to get out of the bed. She couldn’t bring herself to look at his face. Was it because she knew what was coming?

She sat on the edge of the day br, preparing to propel herself to a standing position when he whispered into her ears. "Let me help you out of your dress."

Mauve swallowed and nodded. She could still feel the warmth of his tongue on her lips and she would be lying if she said, she wasn’t disappointed that they were interrupted.

She carefully stood to her feet and Jael got to work. His fingers moved fast and soon enough she felt the dress falling down her shoulders. She was left in her underwear. He quickly helped her out of it.

"Thank you," she mumbled when she was completely rid of all her clothes. She was disappointed that he didn’t touch her more than he needed to.

Without looking back, she quickly made her way to the tub and immediately sat in it. The water rose slightly but it didn’t get past her stomach. They would have to add more water.

She turned to look at Jael and saw that he had not moved from where he stood by the bed. She frowned slightly but his gaze didn’t waver from her. She blushed and looked away.

"Are you disappointed?" He asked.

Mauve gasped and turned her head. How could he move so close to her and she didn’t even hear him approach?

"I am not," she blurted out. She didn’t like the smirk on his face.

"I assure you I intend to touch you much more."

"I wasn’t worried about that," she said with a red face and turned away from him.

He took off his clothes beside the tub and got in beside her. His weight pushed the water even higher. He got comfortable behind her and leaned forward. Let me wash you.

He said and his hands slowly started to trail her body. He started with her chest. His cold hands and the warm water were a good mix against her skin.

He pinched the tips and they stiffened some more. Jael’s fingers trailed the rest of her body and he made his way down the rest of her body.

He palmed her stomach and slowly parted her legs. She felt him grow behind and Mauve twirled her hips. He stopped her movements.

"You don’t want the water to spill now," he whispered and bit her ear gently. His voice sounded very hoarse.

Mauve blushed, she could feel his fangs against her earlobe. It was nice to know, she wasn’t the only one excited. She wanted him to touch her more.

His hand on her thighs slowly moved upwards and Mauve bit down the urge to scream out. His hands on her skin were burning a hole through her.

She bent her head to the side and he immediately understand. Without hesitating, he took her lips and kissed her hard.

She buckled against him when his finger touched her heat. She heard him swear. He broke the kiss and rested his head on the back of her head.

"I wanted to take my time but I want you now."

The words were barely out of his mouth when he lifted her off the floor of the bath and placed her over the tip of his hard length.

Mauve felt vibration course through her body as he pushed into her entrance. He held her there and gently tried to ease her onto him.

Grabbing the sides of the bath, Mauve pushed further down and she heard Jael cussed. However, she couldn’t pay him much attention because she was reeling in the feeling of him inside her.

The pleasure caused her head to spin. Jael held her steady and then slowly started to move. Mauve barely recognized the sounds that escaped her lips.

**************************

Mauve’s eyes flew open to see Jael staring at her. Her eyes widened briefly and she slowly moved to a sitting position while rubbing her eyes.

"You’re finally awake."

"Nobody would be able to sleep if you stare at them like that," she replied.

She frowned slightly as she realized she was missing something. She turned to look at him again and saw that he was fully dressed.

"You’re dressed?" She said with a frown. Was she that tired that she didn’t even know when he got out of bed to dress up?

"Of course, it’s almost midnight," Jael announced casually.

Mauve threw the sheets off her body. "Why didn’t you wake me up?" She asked.

"You were sleeping so peacefully. How could I? Besides, considering what happened last night, I figured it was best to let you sleep."

Mauve blushed, "You can’t let me sleep till midnight." She whined and tried to get out of bed. Suddenly, her stomach groaned loudly.

He looked like he was about to laugh but didn’t when she glared at him. "Herbert is already preparing the second meal, you’ll eat soon."

"That’s not why..."

"I know," he said and pulled her to him, kissing her cheeks.

She reddened immediately and turned away from him. "I have to go get ready." She mumbled.

"You should, Mill already has your water ready."

She nodded and got down from the bed.
