When I woke up the next morning, memories of all that went down last night rushed through my mind at once, and instantly grew so embarrassed, I wished I could faint at once.
What the hell came over me and why did I act like that? I haven’t the slightest idea. All the memories that returned back to me were mine, but it felt like I was outside my own body and I’d have not believed that if it weren’t for all the images running over my mind right now, and But I remember all what I said with my own mouth, begging to be touched and fucked like a literal slut. My face instantly flushed and I let out a low cry of mortification as I wondered how I was gonna face Zoren again.
He got to witness all the embarrassing things I said and did last night. I remembered the way he kissed me last night, intense and deep like he actually desired me. But it felt like he did that because he couldn’t stand me acting so desperate. I mean, he didn’t fuck me despite me offering myself to him that way last night. What more proof do I need? I tried hard to figure out why I acted that way last night, if something came over me, but nothing was coming to mind at all.
When a hand suddenly settled over my hips and pulled me into a strong chest, a startled gasp left my throat just as I stiffened.
“How’s the pain from last night? All gone?” Zoren’s cologne hit me square in the face at once and I felt myself melt against him before a few things registered within me. First, Zoren, who witnessed my embarrassment last night, was still here. Two, I’m buck naked and Zoren is pressed flushed against me from behind. Three, Zoren is here right now.

A panicked sound left my mouth and I instantly tried to get away from him as fast as possible, but his hold on my turned wise like, and my mouth dropped open soundlessly as I gasped when his nose trailed up my throat, dragging over that sensitive bitten spot on my throat. My eyes flew open just as I shuddered hard, cause it just felt like I just got electrocuted.
“Y–you’re here right now.” I whispered weakly as my heart raced hard, embarrassment from last night washing all over me again. He hummed behind me as he spoke.
“Of course I am. I don’t feel any pain in my chest anymore after I bit you. Do you?”
I focused hard on my chest. There was no pain at all. I ended up shaking my head. “There’s no pain… but I don’t know if that’s because we’re close to each other right now again.” I breathed out weakly and he hummed.
“You’re right. We have to test this out fast.” As he said those words, he slid out of the bed, and my eyes fell on his low pants almost falling off his hips and his bare ripped chest which my eyes instantly drank up. I swallowed hard, my stomach curling as I spoke. <
“Where are you going?”
I wanted to quickly assure him that I didn’t care if he went or not, but deep down, I realized with a startle that I was just lying to myself right now.
“Away from you.” He spoke and something broke within me before what he actually meant dawned on me, then I felt ridiculous as hell. I bit on my lip after nodding stiffly, watching him leave and close the door after him. Instantly, I felt this strong urge to run after him, like an invisible force was pulling me to him, one stronger than the one I used to feel towards him this whole time. As I waited for him to return, I realized with a relieved sigh that I didn’t feel any pain at all, and when he returned, my heart stupidly fluttered at the sight.
“I didn’t feel pain.” I breathed out and he nodded as he approached my bed and slid into it, shocking me again.
“That’s very good, I didn’t feel any pain either. That means the bite did work.” He explained instantly and my hand automatically went up my neck and my face warmed as I touched it.

“I–I thought… aren’t you getting…. Don’t this bite mean something? That’s why you searched for me this whole time after all, to sever it.” As I spoke, I kept watching him, trying to read his serious expressions. He grabbed my hand and suddenly pulled me right into his chest in bed and I gasped as heat shot through my entire body at once.
“That’s in the past.” He gruffed out and my eyes widened in more surprise. About a thousand questions were on my mind. right now but before I could utter anyone, he was abruptly pulling me underneath him, rolling over me to pin me unmade. My eyes widened as I gaped up at him, my heart pounding so hard that I worried it would tear out of my chest at once.
“Does it still hurt?” He asked and I frowned in confusion as I regarded him.
“I just said it didn’t hurt anymore. Did you forget?” I pointed out slowly, my mind trying hard not to focus on his shirtless state or the ridiculous low pants, but I instantly failed, and every inch of my mind was consumed with images of just that.
“I was talking about the other thing you talked about last night, that you said was hurting. What did you mean by that and does it still hurt right now?” he asked and I stiffened before what he meant slowly dawned on me, then I exhaled breathlessly just as color flooded every inch of my face at once.
“I- I don’t…” I stumbled over words, the dictionary seeming like they’ve chosen now of all times to desert me. I had hoped and prayed that he’d not bring it up last night and after he didn’t instantly bring it up, I assumed he’d not bring it up anymore. But I was clearly wrong…
“Tell me the truth.” He ordered and my face flamed as his intense gaze bored into mine. I swallowed emptily, feeling like I might die from shame right now.
“I don’t feel pain there anymore.” I cried out, my voice high pitched in my own ears. He arched a brow at me.
“You don’t? That meant you felt pain there last night?” He asked and my face flushed again. I tried to remember how I felt the previous night, or how my body felt while I was locked out of it.
What I remembered about my body feeling last night was emptiness. I felt like I needed him to touch and kiss me everywhere, to fill me up, to…
I trailed off, embarrassed by my train of thoughts cause I didn’t understand why I was thinking about him in that light last night, and why right now, I also want him even closer, and to also fill me up.
“I- I didn’t feel pain, just empty.” I mumbled before I could stop myself, and my face burned even brighter when he let out a low hum while watching me.
“Empty.” He husked and I swallowed as I ducked my head, or attempted to, cause he grasped my chin and tilted my head so I faced him. Feeling embarrassed, I spoke fast before he could.
“It was a stupid feeling and I had no idea where it came from last night. Just ignore all I said last night, and all that happened between us, please.” I mumbled quietly as my cheeks burned brightly.
Zoren was silent for a while before he spoke. “Unfortunately, I can’t do that,”
I blanched just as my heart flew into my throat, my heartbeat skyrocketing straight to the stars. “You can’t?” I whispered while staring up at him. He let out a hum as he nodded, then he cupped my face and stroked the strand of hair away, his touch soft and careful, and it made me grow confused. He was touching me so tenderly right now.
“I can’t do that.” He repeated and I opened my mouth to speak, but then in the next moment, he leaned down and stopped whatever I was about to say with a kiss. I gasped into his mouth, my eyes widening in utter shock, just as heat skyrocketed through my body and I moaned as my eyes helplessly fluttered shut. I gripped his shirt tightly, my head spinning as he deepened the kiss, licking into my mouth hungrily and making me feel a horribly deep ache for him after he pulled away.
“Do you know what all of this means? This bite included,” as he spoke, I shook my head cause I haven’t the slightest idea. I gulped as I shook my head, my heart still pounding hard in shock from the most unexpected kiss I’ve ever received from

“This means we’re now bonded together. Now, I can feel your presence within me, pulsing and fresh and unlike how I never got to feel you on the other side of the bond for five years.” He nodded at my throat as he spoke and my mouth dropped open in astonishment. He continued almost immediately.
“This means you’re now mine. You belong to me now that we’re bonded together, so forgetting what happened last night is next to impossible,”
My head reeled hard as he spoke and I blinked up at him, unable to wrap my head around what I was hearing right low. I belonged to him? We’re now bonded… in what way exactly? That still doesn’t make much sense to me.
“What exactly do you mean though? I’m kinda confused.” I whispered slowly, but now, my mind was starting to get distracted when one of his legs slid between mine, instantly increasing my racing heartbeat because I was still very much naked underneath him. I let out a gasp when his hand slid over my ribs before resting against the underside of my boobs.
“I meant that you’re mine now. Point blank. Every inch of you, and that also includes your body…
