Sam had bathed me, scrubbed my back and went through even the gaps between my fingers. I couldn't tell whether he did a better job than the handmaids that usually bathed me.
Either way, I was smiling the entire time. My heart kept on fluttering, making me smile like a fool. Just like him, I scampered my hands over his body, barely cleaning him, as I couldn't focus.
But unlike how steamy it started, we managed. With brief kisses in between, we finished bathing together.
When we both rinsed, Sam wrapped a robe around me before covering himself with another one. Standing in front of him, Sam dried my hair with a small towel.
I had my gaze fixed on him. Sam was smiling subtly, melting my heart at how he turned a simple task of drying my hair to something heart-warming.
"I'd go bald if you keep going on forever." I humored with a pout as it seemed he wouldn't stop.
Although his actions were gentle, I'm growing… impatient. The thought of it made me blush as I bit my inner lip discreetly.
"Just a little bit more, love." He muttered, casting me a wink, and smirked.
He's doing this on purpose. While he dry my hair with the cloth, I raised my hands and tied his robe.
As I did so, I could not help but notice his exposed, firm chest and collarbones. I've seen him topless; he faulted it proudly on my first day in this mansion.
However, seeing it up close made my throat parch. Sam's skin was pale and blemish free. It looked very pleasant in the eyes, as his skin looked so supple.

Suddenly, I noticed a faint red mark on his shoulder. Without thinking twice, I hooked my finger on the robe, sliding it aside to see faint teeth marks.
Was this the bite I did earlier? I wondered as I pondered.
I didn't notice it earlier, but it was certainly my teeth marks. Odd, I thought. But didn't dwell on it.
Sam's skin was pale and white like a snow. Perhaps his skin was sensitive? The explanation I came up with was lame, but I couldn't think of anything else.
To make it up to him, I tiptoed and kissed it. Sam instantly tensed as he stopped from drying my hair.
Slowly, he gazed down as I looked up and smiled. "I sealed my love bite with a kiss."
In contrast to my good intentions, Sam's eyes fluttered ever so slowly and dangerously. Such breathtaking beauty, I subconsciously awed as I stood back on my feet.
Why was he staring at me, though? I just mimicked how he sealed and healed my wound with a kiss.
Did he find it offensive?
"I didn't." Suddenly, Sam spoke.
I tilted my head to the side, confused at what he was talking about. He didn't what?
"I didn't find it offensive." He clarified. "I find it... arousing."
Without letting me process his explanation, he suddenly swept me off of my feet. In an instant, he was carrying me in his arms as he trudged back to our bedchambers.
On our way, I raised my shaking vision to him. "You can read my mind?"
"Right now? Yes." Sam glanced down at me, catching the surprise look on my face.
"I didn't mean to invade your thoughts. But your blood is still fresh in me, dominating my system, forcing your thoughts, and everything into me."

What…?
Suddenly, Sam halted in his tracks. "It'll settle down in a few days. Don't worry."
Sam offered a reassuring smile. I didn't know there's this effect after drinking my blood. Not that it displeased me. It just felt… strange.
I bit my lower lip and stared at him, blinking.
'Do you love me, Sam?' I asked internally, testing it for no reason.
His unsmiling lips broke into a grin. As if he didn't see that coming. Did he get my message, though?
"Oh, Lilove." Sam huskily chuckle, shaking his head lightly as he placed his knee on the edge of the bed.
In an instant, he laid me down as he hovered over me; emanating dominance. His crimson orbs shone dangerously. They were tantalizing.
He rested his palms on either side of my head, one of his legs spread my legs apart, the other one keeping my body between them.
Instinctively, I placed my hands on his chest as my breath hitched. I gulped at the pair of eyes hovering over me. My heart pounded faster and louder, deafening my ears as if it was drumming in front of them.
Just when my body cooled down a little from the fleeting break from our previous activity, his penetrating gaze suddenly ignited the fire within me once again. But what baffled me was this anticipation in my heart.
"I love you more than you can even imagine, Lilou." Sam stated.
I felt the weight of his sincerity in his voice. He wasn't just saying things, but was making a statement. It made me feel I had little understanding of him and his feelings.
But that reassured my heart in more ways than one.
"You're mine… and only mine." Sam whispered. "And I'm only yours."
Slowly, Sam bent down. I held my breath as I slowly closed my eyes, welcoming his sweet breaths that first wafted my nose.
Shorty after, his lips crashed against mine. My arms slowly hooked on his shoulder, pulling him down to feel more of him.
'You're mine, only.'I whispered internally, making my own statement.
He smiled against my lips before he discreetly untied my robe. Taking notice of his action, I slipped my hands down, barely fit on the gap between our body.
I pulled the tie of his robe, hauling it away from him. The fabric instantly fell down on his shoulder and he pulled his hand up, one after another, until we're skin to skin.
We may be different, and that fact might be terrifying. But at this moment, I felt otherwise. They made f*cking sounded like a scary thing; it was, though.
But I didn't think that we did that. For me, this was nothing but… love making.

The cover is commisioned and done by: Artist: FatCatInTheBox ***** Before you lot bashes me up with my English etc., consider this: 1. This is my first novel. First conceptualized and written some 23 years ago. Only until last year that I did some improvisations and improvements to what I had kept in the dusty corner of my room all these while. This story sees the light of the day because I challenged myself, that's all. 2. English is the 6th language that I speak.And in RRL, I'm using British English mostly to write my story. 3. Easier said than done. Rather than subjecting me to subjective comments/reviews about the language, point it out and suggest an alternative. One or two would do just fine. It goes a long way. The Pledge - This story shall continue till it ends properly.
8 112Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...

"In my defense, I hadn't actually been trying to get hit by a truck." Artemis wakes up alone in a giant futuristic facility with no hint of where she is, how she got here, or what this means. Yet within two weeks, she is shot at with all the guns, a voice is beginning to speak in her head, and she is tormented by a seemingly sentient and possibly trollish space Roomba. Her only hope is Scarlet, another girl who is a complete stranger and almost shot her in the head. Oh, and she has fox ears and a tail. That is possibly worth mentioning. Artemis is not a nerd. She has never heard of the isekai genre, she can't fight worth a damn, and the blue-collar skills she learned at her community college are absolutely useless in a universe where technology is often indistinguishable from magic. She only has one thing going for her: A mysterious ability to interface with highly advanced technology left behind by the Antecessors, the long lost precursor civilization with technology that no one has been able to adequately replicate. Finding herself in a universe where civilizations are locked in an interstellar Cold War, where societies are so stratified that the aristocracy commands fleets of starships while slaves wash clothes with their hands, Artemis decides to run away from it all. She has a ship. She'll find a crew. She'll find a way to make a living at the fringes of civilization, learn how to cope with danger, and survive the affections of a universe where everyone is a cute girl with animal ears and tails.
