“We’re here,” Kira mumbled, snapping Marceline back to reality.

Her mind was so distracted by Kira’s strong physique and his unbelievable speed that she failed to realize they had already arrived at Zhou Ancestral Mansion.

When she looked ahead, Marceline’s eyes widened seeing the broken front door.

‘No! No! Not my door again!’ Marceline lamented to herself as Kira continued stepping inside the house, still carrying her in his arms.

‘He seriously needs to know how to open a damn door!’

Kira was about to put her down but Marceline was still clinging onto him, refusing to let go.

“Bring me to my room!” Marceline suddenly blurted out, catching Kira’s attention. She even tilted her head while pointing her lips in the direction of her room.

Kira arched his eyebrow but obediently followed her request. In just a blink of an eye, Marceline found herself being transferred to her room.

She smiled inwardly thinking she got an instant express transporter. It was fast and very convenient for her lazy self. She got tired of running while wearing high heels a while ago.

Upon reaching her room, Kira finally put her down. But Marceline remained standing close to him, her arms still holding his shoulders.

Marceline gazed up only to find out that Kira was also staring at her. Her emerald eyes met his scarlet eyes. They glanced at each other for several seconds and it seemed that no one between them wanted to look away.

Unknowingly, Marceline tightened her grip on his shoulders. It was those deep eyes that captivated her.

“Work for me… and be my bodyguard!” Marceline broke the silence and just spoke up whatever words that came to her mind.

Kira blinked his eyes several times, trying to absorb what she had just said.

‘Is she asking me to serve her? Me… a vampire king working under a mere human? Her family might be the gatekeepers who helped my clan but still, I didn’t come here to serve her.’

“No! I refuse,” Kira promptly responded.

Marceline’s perfectly shaped eyebrows twitched in annoyance. She didn’t expect to receive a blatant answer of “No” from this man.

“I will pay you three times! Just work for me!” Marceline offered him again.

But she received another firm “No”.

Marceline pursed her lips, unhappy to hear his refusal. She needed to use her negotiation skills so she made another tempting offer.

“I will give you monthly blood supplies!” Marceline looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.

‘She knows that I am a vampire?!’

Kira’s eyes instantly lit up. Then his gaze subconsciously moved from her face down to her exposed neck, his eyes lingered on her beautiful neckline which seemed to invite him to take another bite.

He gulped hard as he recalled how sweet her blood was. He clenched his fists, suppressing the urge of consuming her blood once again.

“So?” Marceline asked him with her fluttering eyes, her hands began to wander on the surface of his sturdy chest.

A mischievous smile played across her lips as her fingers started drawing circles on his muscular chest.

Marceline was now using her beauty trap, teasing Kira with her mesmerizing smile along with her playful touch.

She could feel it. Her body was acting abnormal again. It was starting… the insatiable hunger and lust awakening deep inside her.

He noticed the changes in her body temperature. Even Kira could feel her hotness. He caught her waist, pulling her closer to him as he assessed her.

With a concerned look in his eyes, Kira pressed the back of his palm over her forehead. “You’re burning!”

Marceline rolled her eyes, hitting his hand away from her. This was not new to her. It only meant her mysterious illness was acting out again.

“Hey, change of plan!”

“Change of plan?” Kira repeated her words, confusion resurfacing on his face.

Marceline bobbed her head while biting her lips.

“Errr, forget about being my bodyguard! Or working under me! I have a much more urgent matter now!”

“What is it?”

Marceline raised her hands, cupping Kira’s charming face.

“Cure my illness! I will give you anything you want…”

Kira couldn’t stop himself but frowned. “Cure your illness? What illness?”

“Gosh, don’t be like a parrot, repeating every word I say!” Marceline pouted her lips while complaining to him.

Kira fought the urge to laugh after seeing her cute and adorable expression. She still looked pretty even though she was annoyed.

“Are you terminally ill? Do you want me to turn you into a vampire?”

Marceline shot him a sharp glare while hitting his shoulder.

“No way!” she said exasperatedly.

“What do you want me to do then?”

Marceline stood on her toes, bringing her face closer to his. Her lips lightly brushed his jawline as she whispered to him, “Sleep with me. Have sex with me!”

Kira was too startled to respond or breathe, his entire body stiffening as her hot mouth nibbled on his jaw, trailing kisses down his neck.

Her hand moved, sliding up and down the surface of his chest, feeling his muscular build. He felt so helpless as if he had been bound to her with indestructible chains.

He was surprised as to why this petite woman had this kind of effect on him. He just found himself reaching for her as his hand slid around the back of her neck, gently rubbing her nape. His other hand was still hooked around her waist, holding her in place.

Marceline felt her inside ablaze with burning passion. A spark of electricity went through her at the feel of his cold touch. She craved for more.

She pressed her soft body against his hard but strong one. She couldn’t wait to remove the fabrics that were only separating their bodies from each other. She wanted to have a flesh to flesh contact with him.

Marceline put her arm at her back, catching Kira’s hand that was rubbing her skin. She guided his hand on the zipper of her dress.

“Strip off my clothes… Darling…” she breathed, her voice tempting him further.

“How much control do you think I have, my Lady?” he growled, pulling her mouth to his.
