….

Lucinia pursed her lips. She faced him, staring at his silhouette. She immediately noticed that he wasn't wearing anything aside from his jeans. The lightning brought her eyes back to his face.

His hands cupped her face, thumbs caressing her cheekbones.

"What are you doing?" she frowned but didn't remove his hands from her face.

"Thinking."

"What are you thinking?" she dared asked. Another streak of lightning lit his face, showing her his eyes that bored inside her.

"The things that I want to do with you."

She stilled, goosebumps slithered her body. Lucinia gulped. "We shouldn't do this."

"Do what?" his eyebrow lifted.

"This… "the next lightning made her stopped what she was about to say. She met his eyes but instantly regretted it when she saw how unguarded it had become. His eyes… somehow left her defenseless. Its warmth seemed to lure her in, daring her to jump into the unknown.

The soft breeze, probably from an open window in his room, touched her skin. The coldness of the wind that brought her his scent made Lucinia shiver. He smelt of wood and lime and a hint of lavender.

Lucinia didn't know if she was the one who took a step closer to him or if he was the one who reduced the space between them. All she knew was that she was already in his arms, wrapped in his warmth. His scent lingered around her. Lucinia's lips parted. She was about to tell him to let her go.

It wasn't a surprise when no words came out of her mouth. With her head raised, her eyes stared at his shadowed face, heart racing against her chest.

Caution, she reminded herself. She wasn't here to have fun. She was here to finish her quests and survive. She had completed two missions, and she was planning to complete more. She was planning to find out who she really was, planning to remember all the things that she had forgotten.

However, this caution paled to compare against the pull that this man had on her. Unknowingly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, lips parted, waiting for him to make the final move.

And he did.

He kissed her. Slowly at first. As if he was afraid that she would break. He had been in this world for years… waiting for her to arrive. He knew she was coming, he always knew this would happen.

"Would you trust me?" he whispered against her ears. It made her frown.

Trust? How could she trust someone she doesn't know? She didn't even know if she had it in her to trust another person aside from herself. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I can't tell you."

She bit her lower lip. She could feel his breathing against her cheek, and it made her want to feel more of him, more of this madness. Was it even worth the risk? "Do you know me?" She couldn't help but wonder.

"You are mine, and I am yours. That's the only thing that you needed to know."

"Are you here to … sabotage my purpose?"

"I am here to find you."

"Liar." She chuckled at that. She wasn't a fool. If this man was like her, then he should have something— a mission that he needed to complete.

"I am here to ensure that vampires will survive."

His words shut her up. She widened her beautiful eyes at him. "You— "

"I trust you."

She gulped and parted her lips to say something. But this time, Mo Li decided he was done talking. He pressed his lips into hers, completely enabling her from talking. His hands slid on her lower back stroking before he pulled her inside the room.

He paused and kissed his way into the lines of her perfect jaws as his hand busily tried to find a way to get her out of her dress. Lucinia responded with a soft moan, her hands tugged his white hair as she bit her lips.

Half of her wanted to resist. While the other half seemed to scream at her to give in to the attraction. She could always regret her actions later.

"F*ck," she heard him cursed. She smiled when she realized that he was actually finding it hard to remove her dress. For a few seconds, Lucinia hesitated until she swallowed all the reservations that this body still had.

"You can do it… with the dress on." It was the permission that he wanted to hear. She felt him ran his fingertip on top of her breasts, tugging her nipple beneath her gown. Then he suddenly slid his hands and tugged the front part of her gown. Her eyes widened.

"You didn't say, I couldn't do it this way," he said as he pulled the front part of the gown down, causing a ripping sound from the fabric. Before she could say a word of resistance, Mo Li laid her into the bed. Pressing her down as he stared at her beautiful pale face that reflected the oil lamp that he lit earlier.

"You are still a beautiful as the first day I met you," he said. She opened her mouth wanting to ask him when did they first met, but the kiss that followed his words took away all the words that she wanted to say. She melded into him, every sense of her body heightened as she savored the rough kiss that he gave her.

Their tongue met sensually, melding together as if they were made of each other. Her eyes snapped shut as her hand folded around his neck, tugging him closer. Lucinia let out a low moan when she felt him ran his finger on the side of her breasts before finally teasing her pebbled nipples.

His other hand slowly found his legs, parting it, as he aligned his waist into hers.

Mo Li continued to give her breast the attention that it deserved before he slowly moved the gown up. His hands started exploring her thighs, touching and pinching them before he finally found her sex. Ecstasy rocked her. When he felt her legs trembled, he immediately bent his head and started flicking his tongue at her hardened nipples.

She let out a deep groan when he moved the small fabric that covered her wet core and slid a finger inside her. She could feel the heat inside her intensify, turning into a deep desire, a craving. Raw hunger flowed through her veins as she gasped and arched her back in pleasure.

She could feel her body react to his every touch. She wanted more. She opened her eyes, impatience laced her gaze as she pulled him up and slammed his mouth back to hers. She wanted more than his finger inside her. She wanted more than his lips playing with her breasts. She wanted more of him. And she wanted it now.

She kissed him hard as her hand reached out to unbuckle his belt. He tugged his trousers down as he returned her kiss with equal passion. His erection sprang free.

Her things quivered in anticipation as he wrapped her fingers on the entirety of his girth. She heard him groaned when her hand started moving around his shaft.

"I missed you," he whispered. She was too engrossed in her own stabbing lust that she failed to hear herself respond.

"I missed you too."

When she realized her words, Lucinia frowned but said nothing. Rather… she couldn't say anything as her brain had stopped working. Her throat was dry and famished as she felt the tip of his manhood started teasing her entrance. Her whole being glinted with anticipation as she silently begged for him to slid inside her and satisfy the carnal desire that throbbed inside her flesh.

He, on the other hand, was staring at her. Desire, passion, and gentleness swirled in his orbs as the back of his palms caressed her cheek. "What do you want?" he asked.

"You." Her own answer surprised her. But she wasn't planning to stop now. "I want you inside me. I want to feel you move inside my throbbing flesh. I want you to give me the release that I want." This time, her direct answer surprised him. However, he immediately knew that this had something to do with the body she was in.

He smiled and slowly kissed her lips.

Lucinia's thoughts scattered when she felt him slid inside her, slowly and fully entering her core. Her hands landed on his shoulders as she closed her eyes and let her core get used to his size. She was certain that she had experienced this raw and primal need before. And right now… she was certain she had done this with him.

Though she couldn't remember anything, her need would never lie to her.

When he started moving, Lucinia immediately locked her ankles behind him. She arched, moaning as she started matching his slow-paced, silently urging him to go faster and deeper.

Slowly, Mo Li took her up to the edge as she let out long moans one after another. She shuddered in his arms as she started meeting his thrusts, making him grunt and whisper explicit words against her ears. She felt her body taut against his as she felt the desire pooled in her stomach.

She started returning each thrust with an equal force as she felt his movement turned rough and clumsy. She felt her core pulsed and tightened around him before she finally let go. She gave in and let her body prepare for that final push that would make her reach the pinnacle, the satisfaction that she was looking for. She rocked against him as he released a harsh groan of surrender.

'You are mine and I am yours' his words echoed inside her as her own released shuddered inside her body.
