Candela

“Too brave to do such things, huh?” Candela’s abruptly turned around upon hearing a deep baritone voice from her behind. Only to found out that the owner of it is none other than but the firstborn of Lord Magnus.

She felt a lump in her throat for an instant. Her breathing became unusual as her eyes were settled on the handsome prince in front of her. Wait a fucking minute?!

‘Did I just praised this ruthless Crimson?’

“What’s with staring, Little Rabbit?” Her forehead creased.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Little Rabbit? I’m no way a rabbit, Lord Blade,” she replied, trying to make her voice calm. Oh, God! Why is she feeling nervous?

Since she met this prince, she always felt unusual feelings whenever he’s around. She felt suffocated for an unknown reason. And whatever that reason is, she knew that it is bad for her. It’s no good, she can assure that.

“For a little rabbit-like you, you amazed me. I like brave women, have you know that?”

She blinked twice before an image of Primo flashed through her mind. He’s ruthless and a traitor brother. Yeah, that’s it. Primo used to say nastiness about his brother. She doesn’t want to disappoint her Young Master especially that she already made her promise to him. A promise not to be associated with Lord Blade, his ruthless brother. Primo might hate her and whether she admits it or not, she didn’t like the idea of it.

Primo hating her? Oh, God!

“You don’t have to think of what Primo going to think, Little Rabbit.” Her eyes widened. How did he know that she was thinking about Primo?

Did she meet the kind of vampire who can read minds? Goodness gracious, for heaven’s sake… she needs to stay away from him. She needs to fucking shut down her mind.

“If you don’t mind, Lord Blade, may I excuse myself?” She’s ready to step away from him but he caught her instant. Pinned her to the nearest wall she just wiping earlier. Her heart goes thump-thump. The beats of it? Oh, fuck! The beat of her heart is chaotic and it’s because of Blade.

“You owe your life to me, right?” She absentmindedly nods her head. By just staring at those deep orbs, she seems to drown easily. “In that case, what can you offer to pay your debt?”

“D–debt?”

An evil grin appeared on his thin yet luscious lips. His lips, it’s so tempting. For all of the sudden, she felt an eagerness to feel his lips on hers.

“Yes, debt. You have debt ’cause I save your life. If I’m not mistaken, I save you and carried your almost lifeless body in my arms. Isn’t it a debt to be considered?”

“Ah!” She acted normal. “Yeah, you save me, Lord Blade and I’m very much thank you for saving my life.”

Blade’s eyebrow arched. ” Is that all you can do? To thanked me?”

She smiled awkwardly. “Ahm… I don’t own precious things to give you for me to pay my debt as you said. All I can do was to thank you, nothing more nothing less.”

“Ow, poor little rabbit. I felt bad for your case but do I inform you that I don’t take ‘thank you for a debt?”

“B–but I have nothing to offer, Lord Blade.”

“Sure, you have. I know you have something to offer little one.” He lowered more his head to level on her. That makes her heart thumped rapidly and uncontrollably.

Darn it! She fucking needs some air to breathe. She felt suffocated, she couldn’t breathe. “Can you step backward, Lord Blade?”

He instantly shook his head before leaning forward and the next thing she knew it. She, pinned on the wall with Blade’s head buried on her neck. She goosebumps. She freaking goosebumps as she felt his breath on her neck. Her legs became wobbly and unstable so she needs to hold on to Blade’s clothes to find support.

“You smells good, Little Rabbit,” he said huskily that sent shivered on her spine. What’s happening right now and then was wrong. Bad for her, she knows that but what’s with her? Why is she tolerating her mind that is incapable to think straight?

“I wonder what could be the taste of your blood?” And with that, she gathered all her strength to push him away but her effort turns futile.

When her palms landed on his hard abdominal muscles, all she can do was curse inside her mind. Damn that abs! Why does it felt so good on her hands?

“You said you have nothing to offer but your body disagrees with what your mind says. I don’t take your thank you, Little Rabbit.” he paused before staring at her eyes intimately. His eyes… are seducing her. Fuck! Sure she knows that way of vampires to hinder their victims on scaping.

His fingers ran through her exposed neck while keeping their eye contact. She’s being hypnotized. The hell is she! She trained herself not to be hypnotized by others but here she is, like a darn fool and naive vampire who turns to be someone’s puppet.

“I don’t need your thank you. I don’t need such valuable things from you. All I want is you.”

“M–me?” confusion’s lingering in her voice. Blade nodded at her. “Yeah, I want you. The whole you to pay your debt. How is that, Little Rabbit?”

She gulped hard. How can she escape that debt of her without offering herself to this cunning and ruthless prince?

“I’m pretty sure your blood tastes good. Or the word ‘good’ is not enough. I like your smells and fuck it! You’re just a maid to be exact but how could you possess that seductive and aromatic blood?”

“Stop what you’re doing, Brother!” Both of their attention was caught by that boisterous voice. When she saw Primo, standing beside them with his red eyes settled on her brother, she immediately pushed Blade away from her.

“Young Lord–”

“Shut up, Candelita! Save your explanation later but this time, let’s talk first about you Brother.”

“Calm down, Little Brother. I didn’t do bad to hurt her.” Blade replied.

Didn’t do anything? This man is a… a dishonest jerk!

“All of what’s mine, you already snatch away from me but this time, I won’t allow you to do your habits again. Not Candela… not her. Not my best friend!” Primo’s furious voice echoed in the whole hallway and to her shock, vases displayed along the hallway broke one by one.
