Blood Bound - Chapter 66

>>Maya

“Woohooo!!!” Cold wind hit my face as Yohan ran in the forest with me on his back. I gripped his fur tightly so that I wouldn’t fall but man was this feeling amazing.

There was so much excitement in me.

I was feeling tingly all over and I couldn’t stop grinning. The feeling was just magical, it felt like I was soaring through the woods.

My hair fluttered behind me and even though the air was dry and cold I didn’t feel annoyed at all, rather, it was refreshing. It felt really really nice.

‘You okay up there?’ There was a voice in my head and I was startled even though I recognized it, ‘Ah! You must be surprised.” Yohan’s voice continued in my head, ‘Since you’re officially my mate now we can communicate like this.’

“Really?” This was fascinating. “How do you do this?”

‘Link up your mind with mine, just focus on an image in your head, that you’re talking to me through just your thoughts. That should be enough.”

I see.

I closed my eyes and did as I was told.

Focus.

I told myself.

Convey my thoughts.

‘I’m alright.’ I made the first attempt not knowing if it was okay but in my heart I strongly believed I was talking to him through my thoughts.

‘Good!’ Yohan replied, ‘You got a hang of it really fast.’ I giggled at his complement, ‘I’m proud of you.’ His compliment made my cheeks flush lightly.

‘Thankyou.’

I was very happy, I could barely conceal my delight. It really was an amazing day. One I’ll surely treasure in my heart.

“Did you like it?” Yohan asked while we both sat in the lounge on a floor with a single blanket around us. Yohan actually didn’t need it but after our little adventure in the forest I started getting really cold so we came back home and he brought me a blanket. I sat down between his legs and he wrapped it around us so I could get warmer.

We were going to watch a movie and so the TV was on but then we started talking and completely forgot about that.

“I loved it.” I answered, “And I loved your fur too, it was so soft.”

He snickered, “Well good to know you like that too.”

“No! Not like. I said I love it!”

He smiled, “Are you feeling better now?” He had his arms wrapped around me and his fingers intertwined next to my stomach.

“Yeah. A lot.” I slumped against his chest, “I wish this would never end.”

He kissed my forehead, “Yeah.” His reply was soft, “But it’s getting late. You’ve already skipped enough classes. Go to sleep now.”

“…” Hmmm. There was something else on my mind though.

“Maya?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why not?”

“Because~” I glanced at him, “I want to sleep with you.” I gave him a very clear hint.

“Sure, my room is your room but are you still cold?”

“…” He didn’t get my invitation did he? I glared at him, “Are you doing this on purpose?” There is no way he didn’t.

“Do what?” He looked back at me with pure eyes and I hesitated. Did he really not have any intentions at all? Like man! I said I wanna sleep with you!

“No…” I looked away, “I thought maybe you were getting revenge for what I said when we were walking in the streets.” I whispered and got up but before I could leave he caught my wrist and I looked back at him.

He had a dangerous smile on his face, “So you were aware of the words you said there.” Suddenly his eyes changed and I felt a chill of excitement run down my spine.

“W-what, no, no-I mean not before I said it, after I said it-what?” He pulled me back into his embrace and kissed my neck, “Y-Yohan?” My skin stood up in excitement.

“Tell me, “He whispered in my ear, his warm breath made my body tingle, “What do you want?”

He really is taking revenge for that!!

“I…” I paused. It was embarrassing to say but he went ahead slid his hands under my shirt as he kissed my body more sensually then suddenly stopped.

“I won’t do it unless you say it.” I gulped, “Or maybe you really want to sleep.”

What! No!!

I looked at him in horror but he stood his ground and refused to make a single move.

I bit my lip in frustration but he just smiled in return.

How can he just smile like that when I can literally feel his bulge!!?

“Yohan, I can feel it pressing against me.”

“Don’t mind it, it’ll go down.”

I clenched my fists in anger.

This little!!!

Fine!! I’ll say it!

“I want you!” I said.

“Want me? But you already have me.” He smirked and I felt my cheeks flush out of frustration and embarrassment.

He was being so mean!

I didn’t say those words before on purpose!

I honestly wanted to hiss at him.

“I want to sleep with you.”

“I already said that was fine. You can go ahead and I’ll join you later.”

This jerk!!

I turned around my whole body and grabbed his shirt.

“Sex!” I had tears in the corner of my eyes, “I want to have sex with you! You big jerk!”

He snickered and hugged me tightly.

“Okay, I’m sorry.” He kissed the corner of my eyes to wipe away the tears, “I was just teasing you.”

“Hmph!” I turned my face away and he rested his chin above my breast.

“Sorry. You just looked so adorable I couldn’t help it.” He then kissed the bare skin below my neck but I did my best not to give him any reaction.

“Ah!” He suddenly slid his arms down my hips and stood up. It startled me but I immediately held his shoulders for support, “What even?!”

He gave me the naughtiest smile he could conjure, “Why? We’re going to sleep together, no?”

I pinched his nose, “You demon.”

He laughed lightly and took me to his room.

***

When I woke up the next morning I noticed something different. Not around me, not with myself or Yohan but on me.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a gold chain locket around my neck.

“What’s this?” I whispered to myself.

“Your gift.” I heard a whispered reply and looked by my side and found Yohan looking at me with half open eyes, “I didn’t get a chance to give it to you yesterday so I put it on you while you were asleep.” His voice was a bit hoarse since he had just woken up and his half naked body was a heavenly sight to look at early in the morning. I was wearing his shirt so I was nicely covered.

“When did you get the time to get this?” I was still surprised. I wasn’t expecting a gift because of all that happened. Actually, I didn’t want one either. I was just happy that we were able to spend the day together and make good memories.

“I preordered it weeks ago. It was here when we got back from the magic realm.”

“I see.” I couldn’t hide my delight at all and kept staring at the locket. I felt a bit dizzy but I shook off the feeling.

“You like it?”

“I love it.” I answered him and coughed a bit. My throat felt a bit dry.

“That’s a relief.” He grinned and I smiled back at him.

He sat up, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. For a few seconds after he didn’t open his eyes and I wondered what he was thinking about.

“Is something bothering you?” I asked.

“No,” He slowly opened his eyes, “Just thinking how so much has changed for me yet that one thing hasn’t.”

“One thing?”

“The curse.” As he said the word my heart dropped, “I know we haven’t broken it, I don’t know if we can either.”

“What makes you think that?”

“After learning about the whole truth and the words that were casted for it I’m pretty sure. It’s very powerful. Moreover it was casted by such a strong being.” As I was listening to his words suddenly I felt sick and got off the bed, “Maya-?” I didn’t have time to listen to him. I ran out of the room straight to the bathroom and puked in the toilet.

He came after me and sat by my side, “Hey,” He rubbed circles on my back as I puked more, “It’s okay. Let it all out.”

After I was done I rinsed my mouth and took deep breaths. Yohan stood by my side with a worried expression.

“Don’t worry too much, it’s probably because the dinner last night didn’t digest properly.”nI told him.

He stepped closer to me, “That’s strange, I had no problem.” He scanned me from head to toe and then placed his hand on my head and then on the cheek, “It’s not the food.’ He sighed, “You have a fever.”

“A fever?” I couldn’t believe it, “I rarely ever get sick though. I’m a sturdy person.”

“Well, I guess it’s one of those rare times where you are sick so let’s get you to bed.”

“Huh?How strange, I haven’t gotten sick in ages!”

“I’m guessing it’s because of our little adventure in the forest yesterday night. It’s winter, we shouldn’t have done that.” He was a bit upset but I wasn’t.

I know I probably won’t be getting another chance for it so I’m still very happy. I thought about it. I never got sick when I played in the snow when I was younger. This was troublesome probably because I knew the reason why.

“I don’t want to, I just woke up.” I whined.

“You don’t have to go to sleep but it’s best to rest. I’ll order some soup and porridge and get some medicine for you.”

“But-” I started feeling a bit dizzy so I held onto Yohan for support.

“No buts, I have somewhere to go urgently so you stay in bed. Okay?” I looked at him while he picked me up and took me to bed, “I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

“Where are you going though? Surely not to work, no one knows you’ve recovered.”

“I’m meeting someone else and I’ll try to stay low till I’ve solved some certain things.”

Yea, I get that. He can’t really appear in front of everyone looking so healthy after he was on a brink of death just a few days ago. There would be a lot of chaos but at the same time since he went missing from the hospital many people must be looking for him too.

I guess I should be careful as well.

“Come back soon okay?” I slid into the sheets and laid down.

“I’ll be back as soon as I’m done..” He kissed my forehead and left.
