Chapter 327 Limi

"K-kai?" she called out. He didn't seem to hear her. She felt his canines dig into her skin and she called his name out louder. "Kai!!"

Kai snapped out of the haze and pulled away as if he had been burnt. Kelly saw his face, his eyes and his canines.

The next second, he pinned her down on the bed and he disappeared from in front of her.

The last thing she heard was the bathroom door closing with a loud bang.

Kelly's heart thudded against her ribcage. They didn't even fully do it yet. Was that his limit? But he snapped out of it from her calling out his name.

Her heartbeat slowly calmed down. She then sat up and stared at the bathroom door.

She cleaned up herself and went to the closet and grabbed one of his shirts. Her eyes caught the mirror and she looked at the wound on her neck. A small trail of blood was flowing down to her chest.

Seeing it, Kelly suddenly felt worried, worried that Kai might push her away after this.

"Are you okay?" she suddenly heard his voice come from beside her. His voice was filled with guilt.

When she turned to look at him, she saw that he was already wearing his robe. His hair was still dripping wet as he looked at her with that expression she didn't like.

Like lightning, he was suddenly only inches away from her. His eyes were locked on the wound on her neck and his fists were clenched into tight balls.

"I'm fin–"

"No, you're not." He cut her off and he held her face, bumping his forehead on hers. "I… I was about to… kill you," he choked with raw emotion.

"But you didn't. You controlled yourself well, Kai."

"Kelly… please… don't," he begged. He was so scared. He had never felt this kind of fear in his life before. The thought that he had almost killed her scared him to his bones. And now, just seeing the wound and her blood trailing down her neck, made him want to punish himself in the harshest way. "I will never… never forgive myself if something happens to you."

Kelly could hear the emotion in his voice. Was he giving up now? Because despite this, she still couldn't. She probably should have been scared too, like him, but she wasn't. Was she a masochist? She didn't know. But one thing she was certain of was that he wouldn't hurt her more than this. And she now knew his limits, at least.

"So are you going to push me away now? Kai… look at me. I am unfazed. My heart knows you won't hurt me more than this. This happened because I pushed you too much. Despite it, you managed to snap out of it. This wound is just shallow. Call me crazy but this is not enough to make me give up on you."

Kai's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe what she just said. She was supposed to be running away from him now, right?

Damn. He knew this was just going to get worse but just like her, he appeared to be crazy as well. Because instead of pushing her away, he pulled her into him and hugged her tight.

"I'm so sorry…"

"It's okay. It's my fault for being too horny," she teased, grinning as he patted the back of her head.

Kai pulled away and stared at her. She was wrong. It wasn't her fault. It was his for wanting more. For wanting to see more of her dirty side. For wanting more of her.

His eyes travelled down to her wound and he drew closer. He then began licking her blood, savouring its taste as he closed his eyes.

"I-is it okay for you to do that? You said it's no longer allowed for you guys to drink human blood."

He looked up. "Yes. We royal princes still drink human blood. We are the only exception to the law because we need to stay powerful in order to keep the peace."

"Just the princes."

"Yes. Just the princes who are in line to succeed the throne. But even we don't drink it directly from ppeopl. The blood came from willing people who donate it."

"Willing people? Men and women?"

"Just women."

"Why?"

"Female's blood is purer and to male vampires, the blood of male doesn't taste good."

"How does my blood taste to you? Does it taste the same as the blood from other women?"

Kai started licking the blood again.

"Yours is… different."

"How so?"

"It's sweeter than anything else I've ever tasted."

"Really?"

He licked the wound directly and Kelly closed her eyes. "I don't have bandages or anything to treat your wound. But my saliva can heal you better than any medicine."

"Oh, that's cool."

"You don't think it's gross?"

"Nope."

Kai was relieved. Some people find this fact disgusting so he was glad she didn't think the same way.

"Kai?" she called his name as Kai helped her wear into his shirt.

"Yes?"

"If I ask you to drink my blood, would you?"

Kai halted, shock written all over his face as he looked at her.

"I won't die as long you don't suck it all. I used to donate blood as well you see."

"I… I won't."

"But why?"

"I'm afraid I might crave for you. A little taste is enough. I will never do that so please don't ever bring that up again."

Kelly bit her bottom lip, seeing that he was very serious about it.

"Fine."

She surrendered and she finally yawned. It was nearly dawn so she pulled him back towards the bed. They quickly changed the wet sheets and snuggled in bed together.

"Don't give up just yet, Kai, okay?" she uttered with closed eyes and Kai pulled her close to him. He wasn't planning on it. Never.

'I was the one who should ask you that, Kelly,' he murmured to himself before he too finally drifted to sleep.
