After Vincent and the others finished setting up tents, Varth took out a grill from his spatial storage and placed it in the empty space between the tents. He also took out a few packets of the finest quality meat, several bottles of fragrant wine, and some spices and herbs. Meats and others stuff remain preserved in the storage of the spatial device for several reasons, so the stuff he put out still seemed fresh. He showed the others that he truly was a competent person.

He grilled the pieces of meat by using remarkable-looking emerald hues. It was actually a type of magical fire that he got from underneath the energy vein of a very hot planet. This fire could burn a lot of things from all sorts of impurities, and thus, increasing their quality by another level.

Once he was done with roasting the meat, he sprinkled some spices on them, making them glitter like gold. Then he summoned his kitchen knife and used it to make some cut on the pieces of meat. After that, a large amount of mana poured out of his gauntlets and slammed into the pieces of meat, blending the spices into the deepest parts of the meat. Then, he created a red sauce and poured it on top of them before he served one plate of steak to each of them.

"Enjoy!" Varth said to them as he started to eat his food like a refined gentleman. Nevis and John went at it like hungry animals, while Iris kept on worrying for John, telling him that he should slow down or he would choke on the food.

Leilani wasn't feeling it, and she ate her food slow. Vincent sat next to her and found her behavior a bit off, almost as if something was making her feel down.

Vincent gently pulled her into his embrace, caressing her face softly, "What is wrong?"

Leilani beamed towards him, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes, "Nothing is wrong with me. I'm just feeling a bit tired and not too hungry. Sorry for worrying you."

In truth, a strange feeling was haunting her for a while, and it has no intention of going away. She felt like she would lose him if she looked away for a while, and that thought was eating her from inside. Of course, she couldn't share her feeling with him, as she believed that he would dismiss it as a mere delusion in her mind and might even take her for therapy.

Vincent nodded, showing her that he understands her before he took the plate from her hand, not to eat it himself but to feed her. "You can rest your head on my shoulder while I feed you."

"I am not that tired. I can feed myself. So, please don't trouble yourself over me." Leilani gently said, as though she was tired of burdening him and didn't want to do so anymore.

"Don't be stubborn," Vincent said with an adamant look in his eyes. He didn't give her a chance to refuse and placed her head on his shoulder before he started to help her eat. He knew she didn't like to take big bites, so he cut the steak into small pieces in the blink of an eye, picked one up with a fork, and raised it towards her soft lips.

"Say, ah~" Vincent said gently, acting as if he was feeding a baby.

"You're the stubborn one."

Although she said those words, she opened her mouth to let him feed her. The food tasted pretty good, and as he put one piece after another in her mouth, her appetite aroused, and she felt like eating more. So, Vincent decided to feed her his steak, too.

He swiped plates so fast that his girlfriend didn't notice. In several minutes, Vincent made sure to send every bit of the hot, sizzling, spicy, and finger-licking steaks down her throat and into her tummy, not only to warm up her body but also to help her restore her stamina.

"Are you still hungry?" Vincent asked while looking at her face that was stained left and right with the red sauce.

"No. I'm pretty full." Leilani said with a happy smile on his face.

"That's good. Though, you're pretty skinny. So, you should eat more and put more fat on your body." Vincent said, wanting to feed her like this every day till their hair turns grey.

"Enough about me. Let me help feed you." Leilani said as a smile blossomed on her pretty face from just thinking about feeding him, an act she has never done in her life.

Vincent loved the attention he was getting from her, but sadly, there was nothing left to eat, at least not on the plates on the ground beside them.

"Well, there's nothing left," Vincent said in a sad voice.

"But I am sure you didn't have the time to eat it? Where did it go?" Leilani asked, knowing full well that he has been solely focusing on helping her eat food and cheer her up.

Vincent looked at her calmly.

"Don't tell me that I ate it?" Leilani asked, feeling a bit taken aback by his gaze.

Vincent calmly nodded, then said, "Yes, I fed it to you."

"Oh, my. I'm sorry. I usually don't eat that much." Leilani felt awkward and also thought that he might mistake her for a glutton that empty houses from their rice, and thus, she had said the last line to make sure that he knows that she does not eat a lot.

"Saying sorry won't help me fill my stomach," Vincent said with a crestfallen look on his face, and Leilani felt guilty.

Of course, his stomach was empty, but he wasn't feeling hungry for meat, but her warmth and love.

"What should we do? Should I go and ask for more?" Leilani said, thinking of asking Varth for more of that steak.

"No! No! There's no need to so as I don't want that kind of meat," Vincent said, stopping her from leaving his side.

"Then, what do you want to eat?" Leilani asked while looking at him.

"If you want to know, you must first bring one of your ears close to me," Vincent said, motioning her to come close.

Unaware of his wolfish intent, the innocent maiden brought her tiny ear close to his mouth, wondering what he has to say.

"I want to eat you, starting from your pretty lips to your soft flesh," Vincent whispered in her ear, watching coyly as her ears turned red.

Leilani felt flustered after hearing his words, and her heartbeat also sped up, fast enough for Vincent to hear it. She raised her head away from him in a hurry, only for Vincent to see redness painting her cheeks, making her look more mesmerizing, enough for him to wrap her hands around him tightly and keep on looking into her eyes, leaving her with no way of running away.

"Let me go. What if the other looked at us? That will be so embarrassing." Leilani said without trying to break free from his embrace.

"They have already looked at us kissing and so on. Besides, does it matter what others think?" Vincent said without shame and without moving his eyes away from her.

"What will it take for you to stop?" Leilani asked in a low voice. Secretly, she couldn't help but enjoy his warmth, and the best part was that he wasn't smelly at all, almost as if he doesn't sweat. There was no scent of blood on him, unlike her. She wondered why? But she was so submerged in the wonderful moment that she kicked the question to the back of her mind, not even thinking about it.

Vincent teasingly looked into her snowy eyes, then said huskily, "I won't let you go unless you give me an answer. Can I eat you?"

Although his question was too sudden, and Leilani wasn't too sure about it, but she knew she wouldn't mind giving her body to him as she trusted him as much as she loved him.

Though, there was a problem! She still didn't have any control over her transformation, and she was worried she would transform into feline form before the intimate act that every couple does to express their love even starts.

"Should I give you a day to think about it?" Vincent asked, wondering whether her silence is an act of refusal.

"No need. I am ready to do anything as long as it is you. But I am not sure whether we will be able to do it or not. You know, I am not like the other girls. Sorry," Leilani said, feeling apologetic because there was something wrong with her.
