The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 374: The mark - IV

Tristan’s words and his warning settled into my mind just like he wanted to. I understood everything. How it was going to work out in my favor, in Catharine’s and in his.

Even then half of me wanted to have his mark on my body. It felt right to want it, to have it on me, but the other half, it was scared.

The moment I realized that I was not hesitating to have it, but just scared it made me think that I did want it but it was the fear of being bitten and what had happened twice to happen again.

The pain had been unbearable, and even though I had no intention of dying, the pain directed me straight towards it. I would rather have passed away than experience that same pain again. Both of the bites had driven me near that and how I was a life, only my God knew.

From my eyes, Tristan’s eyes lowered to my chest. "Your heart is beating rather quickly, or perhaps, it is pounding."

A silent gasp escaped me as heat boomed on my cheeks. He had used a leave it word and he knew it. He did that knowingly.

The corner of his lips lifted a little. "Does it have anything to do with what I am proposing?"

"N-no." I stuttered, why?! he could always tell when I lied, and I just made it more apparent.

Was all of this not enough that we have to go ahead and tease me so blatantly?

"I see." He leaned in again, "Would you like to try it?"

I wanted to say no, or even shake my head, but my body refused to cooperate with me. It had its own mind and what it wanted to do was rise itself on its toes and meet his lips.

Goodness, no, that was going to be embarrassing. However, embarrassing may it be, my eyes could not look anywhere else other than his lips. It seemed like I was hungry and the only food available to me were his lips. I was starving for them.

What was wrong with me?

"The bond is putting us closer, Genevive. It can only do that because you want to come close." His tongue darted out and licked his lips, almost making me jump. "Do you want to come close?"

"I.." do. I do. As close as I can possibly come to him, I wanted it.

"You do," He said, reading my mind as he came closer to my lips., "but my beloved is afraid of the pain it might bring."

"Yes, she is."

Tristan kissed my lips for a short second before pulling away, making me want more. He placed his thumb over my lips, lightly caressing them.

"Allow me?" Tristan said it again, so seductively that I almost wanted to say yes. I did want to say yes.

Seeing his lips at such a distance, away from mine, almost drove me crazy.

I wanted him closer. I wanted him as close as I possibly could be. I wanted his lips on mine and I wanted that now.

My hands made their way to his cheeks, cupping them as I pulled him closer. "Please," I whispered my desperate plea.

He snarled before closing the distance in between us. It’s much more animalistic than the kiss we had before, any of them. That one was consuming but slow and passionate but this one, it was different.

It will be away from the reality I was in. I saw no one but the man in front of me who I loved and how I was ready to be his.

That was it.

That was all I saw.

Tristan kissed me like he already owned me and the world knew it.

He pulled away and I got my breath. Realizing now that reading was also important. But trust and did not leave me be, no. He kissed my job, going to my channel before kissing the side of my neck.

The moment his lips touched the skin of my neck and I knew of the reality instantly. It was going to happen. Tristan kissed my skin first and then gently pulled the flesh into his mouth as he sucked it making my knees buckled.

His hand came to my waist, recusing me by holding my weight.

The fangs lightly grazed my skin. The reality became more clear as the cloud of lust disappeared and the fear of being bitten took over.

It made me want to back out. No amount of reassurance would convince me to continue with this.

His hand slid from my waist to my hip. My eyes bulged out at his action and then he squeezed it. I gasped but my eyes rolled back with how it felt.

His fangs pierced through the supple flesh and I hissed in pain of them slicing through my skin like butter. It hurt.

Tristan did not move, rather he remained there with his head over my shoulder and his teeth in my skin. The pain did not less-

It reduced and it did more than enough for my body to relax, leaving me surprised. Not at the pain but what followed after it. It is completely unexpected and no one has ever told me about it. Not Marilyn and not Irene, no one.

Euphoria spread through my body like wildfire, burning everything in its way. It blinded everything else completely.

There was nothing on my mind except this. The world seized itself entirely.

Suddenly, my body and my mind started being aware of someone close to me. A connection was formed, more like a bond in between the two of us, and I knew that it was Tristan.

I became more aware of his presence, his mind that somehow felt like it was connected to my own, like we were one and always had been.

I tried opening my eyes, or listening to something, but that was all I could do before I lost everything.
