Bites & Addiction - Chapter 35：My Own Personal Superhero

When we entered into the jet while I was still in Roman’s arms, I saw a man at doorway had golden hair and hazel green eyes. By looking at his attire, I recognised he was a pilot. He had a welcoming smile plastered on his face as he welcomed us.

“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Hashking. This is Hugh at your service and I’ll be your pilot for today.” The pilot beamed excitedly, “Oh dear, I can’t believe I got a chance to see Mrs. Hashking. She looks even more beautiful in person.” I blushed from his compliment and spared a glance at Roman waiting for his reaction if he’d get furious by seeing the other guy flirting with me. But all I got was a lopsided grin. “Can I take a picture of you? Please. My boyfriend is literally crazy about you since the night he saw you in Gala.”

Oh, that’s why Roman didn’t mind about the way Hugh flirt with me because Hugh is a gay.

I smiled, “All right, Hugh. Take a picture of us like this and don’t forget about sharing it to me later.” He grinned and took a picture of Roman and me. “Roman will give you my number.”

“All right, go back to work Hugh. I don’t pay you for nothing.” Roman said quickly while walk passing him and I mouthed a see-you-soon as I waved him a bye.

When we walked off there A cabin came into view. The cabin offered plenty of space and cozy armchairs. It had 15 large windows to bring in plenty of natural light. Roman also showed me his most favourite thing—a master suite that fits a large bed and a private bathroom.

After having a tour of the luxurious jet, I’d decided to have a dinner so I ensconced myself on a cozy armchair and Roman also seated himself in front of me. After the jet jolted to fly and we were in the sky, he pressed a button in the armchair, and after a moment an air hostess approached to us.

I ordered myself a spaghetti squash burrito bowl, Hummus Quesadillas, Thai red curry with vegetables, Roasted butternut squash tacos. On the other hand, Roman didn’t order anything but watching me with amusement in his eyes.

“Aren’t you going to order anything?” I asked as soon as the air hostess took my order and left.

“Oh, dont worry about that. I’ll have my dinner tonight.” He said playfully. I realised what he had meant, so considering the fact that we’re in a jet with two more people beside us that could indeed hear the sound we would make if I look further more at his inviting appearance that definitely would lead me to losing my control and crossing the small table between us, I chose to drifted my eyes in the direction where the air hostess had disappeared.

He comprehend my action and chuckled lightly.

A while later, air hostess Came to us with my meal in her hand, and at the same time my stomach grumbled.

A flush crept up my face being embarrassed of my action as Roman let out a humoured chuckle.

As the air hostess was leaving, I mumbled a thank you to her and started devouring my meal while hardly ignoring the intense gaze of a hungry vampire in front of me.

“You should taste this, it’s really delicious.” I said, in an attempt of getting his attention back to the dinner.

Slowly, he leaned forward, his arms on the table as a seductive smirk spread on his face, “I’ve already tasted the most delicious thing in the world. Nothing can satisfy me except her.”

My cheeks turned pink as blood rushed to my face. Lowering my eyes, I started playing with the food.

I cleared my throat and said, “We’re on a trip together and it’s a great chance for us to know each other, I guess. So….tell me about you.”

“Such as?” He picked up his fork and started eating spaghetti, his eyes were still on me.

I exclaimed, “Such as—about your superpowers.”

“I’m not a superhero.” he protested.

“But You’ve super speed like Barry Allen and super strength like Hulk.” I protested, “And one thing which is left in this list is ‘saving the world’.”

Suddenly, he stopped eating and looked at me. “But I’m saving my world.” He said seriously. His eyes boring into mine as if he was trying to found a path to my soul.

A shy smile spread on my lips as I said, “That makes you my own personal superhero.” His eyes twinkled and a corner of his mouth quirked up. In the meantime, air hostess came to us with a wine glass of red liquid in her hand.

“Thank you, Sasha.” Roman mumbled to her as soon as she left. While I was literally surprised by the scene in which she brought him blood.

“Does She knows you’re a vampire?” I asked, surprised.

“Oh.” That’s all I said before giving my attention back to food, but suddenly a question popped up in my mind and again I dropped my fork. “Do you have a choice to choose between human food and blood?” I asked curiously as soon as I remembered that Freya only feeds on blood while Roman can survives on both—human food and blood since he’s a half breed.

He nodded, “Yes, but if I choose human food instead of blood then I’d lose my immortality.”

“You mean you’ll be like human.” I exclaimed leaning forward, ” Then stop feeding on blood. That’s What you wanted. Isn’t it?”

He responded, “I’ve already tried that before and I lost from myself.” He let out a sigh. “It’s not that easy, Flora. The more I tried to escape from the reality, the more I started to get into the darkness. The hungry creature inside of me had never let me choose the path I wanted.”

I gently squeezed his hand across the table and asked, “How about second try?”

He shook his head in disapproval, “I can’t take the risk with you. The consequences of my first trial was so horrible.”

“And that was before I wasn’t with you.” I estimated, “Now you have me Roman, and I know how to calm your demons.”

I knew it was a risk, a dangerous one, and I was ready to take it….for him. I wanted to give him everything that I had, everything that I could do to make his life normal and lively.

His eyes softened as he placed his hand over mine, and pulling it to his lips, he gently brushed his lips on the front of my hand.

“It may not be easy but it’s also not impossible, okay?” I reassured him recognising the disapproval on his face. “You’ve left your smoking habit, then why can’t blood?”

He let out a chuckle as if he’d found a humour in my question. “Cigarette And Blood are two different things, Babe.”

I snickered crossing my arms against my chest, “Care to explain?”

“Cigarette warns before getting used while blood doesn’t.” He elaborate with a smug smirk on his face.

“Okay…..so you need a warning, Right? Hmm…We can do that.” I guessed, “How about I put a warning on your blood bags?” Amusement twinkled in his eyes and played with the corners of his mouth. “For example—’Smoking kills but blood leads to a whack on the head by your beautiful wife’.”

My transposed humor brought waves of laughter around the cabin as he threw his head back and started laughing lively, and suddenly I felt butterflies dancing in my stomach. This feeling that I’d been having for him since the day he entered in the Chapel was getting stronger day by day.

And I can’t control the way I feel for him. It’s growing so rapidly that I don’t even know where it would going to take me.

My life was so simple before him. I’d decided every single event of my life, dream job after graduation, my own Prince Charming, having kids(minimum two) and so much more. But it all got changed when Roman entered in my life without a ticket. And then he showed me the definition of passion. A simple light touch of him on my skin brings out a different me—a wild me craving for his touch. I’d never thought he would leave that effect on me.

I was pulled out of my reverie as Roman’s phone rang.

“It’s important.” He said as he stood up to attend the call, but suddenly a smirk appeared on his face. “When I back we’ll discuss about more warnings that you’ve decided for me.” With that he walked off there.

Smiling silently, I leaned back against the chair and hugged myself feeling the warmth, and sniffing the enchanting scent of him that was coming from the coat jacket I was wearing.

Before I was about to draw into the complete darkness I felt the same warmth again as someone picked me up into something hard, and I snuggled myself into the hard body sniffing the same enchanting scent.
