Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

After talking to Dylan, Kira returned to Marceline's room and joined the sleeping beauty in her bed. He smiled inwardly when she moved closer to him, snuggling into his arms comfortably as if she had known that he went out and she was waiting for him to come back.

Before going to bed, he also took a shower to erase the werewolf scent into his body. He didn't want Marceline to smell another guy's scent while hugging him like this.

Tonight was a long night. He fought werewolves and saved another one. This may sound ironic but Kira was doing this for his revenge plan. Saving one mutt could change the course of this war significantly.

"My Lady, just bear with it for a while. We will take one step at a time. I will make sure that those mutts will never touch and hurt you again," Kira softly mumbled before planting a soft kiss on her head.

The beauty was still sound asleep. He loved feeling her warmth. For some unknown reason, their physical intimacy was getting stronger by each day.

He felt the need to be with her and not be separated from her. Cuddling her in his arms seemed to give him an inexplicable joy deep down his heart. He was growing fonder of her every passing day, and he couldn't help it.

While he was fighting the werewolves a while ago, Marceline's face came into sight. He began thinking of her. He could kill those werewolves easily but he chose not to because of her.

As much as possible, he was avoiding himself to be a ferocious and cold-blooded monster that 

would scare Marceline. She still didn't see the bad and cruel side of him.

He wondered how she would react once she found out that he was a very dangerous creature who mercilessly killed his enemies in the past. Selene was the only one who was able to tame him and melt his cold heart.

Now that he met Marceline, he was surprised as to why he was being submissive to her sometimes. He was also very gentle towards her which was unlikely for him to do when dealing with another person.

To think about it, this strange behavior of his towards Marceline had started after that stolen kiss which seemed to have stolen something else from him– could it be his heart?

Kira shook his head, brushing the unnecessary thoughts off his mind. He kept on denying it and didn't want to acknowledge any feelings as he hadn't moved on yet from the betrayal he got.

He needed to guard his heart from potential threats. That thing called love was the last thing he wanted in this new lifetime for it was the cause of his tragic downfall in the past.

Kira's mind had become occupied, thinking of those memories he shouldn't be remembering until he finally drifted off to sleep.

Maybe it was because of those lingering thoughts that Kira found himself trapped in a strange dream.

He felt his body immobilize for a reason he didn't know. It seemed like this feeling was similar when lying inside his golden casket during his deep sleep. 

His eyelids were too heavy for him to open his eyes. His vision was so dark that he couldn't see anything. He felt so weak that he couldn't even lift or move his fingers.

'What's happening to me? Am I too tired to move after fighting those werewolves?' Kira asked himself, not realizing he was dreaming.

He tried numerous times to open his eyes and get up but a strong force was stopping him from doing so, making him more puzzled and confused.

It wasn't so long when Kira felt a warm liquid drip down his lips, entering his mouth. It had a metallic taste– it's a Blood! Consuming it felt delightful inside and his strength was slowly returning to him.

Soon, he heard a faint voice of a woman telling him, "Kira… please stay alive. You must not die… I won't let you die… Please fight it… Please wake up."

"I love you… I can't lose you..."

Then he felt a pair of soft warm lips brushing his in a slow and gentle manner. She kissed him! She was kissing him sensually… and this gesture warmed his heart, making his tensed body to relax.

Later on, he just found himself responding to her and so the kiss deepened further as he increased the pace while the momentum gradually picked up with every movement of their lips.

This time Kira opened his eyes only to be greeted by Marceline who was now on top of him, kissing him passionately. At that certain moment, Kira realized that he was awakened from a strange dream by Marceline's kiss.

'Eh? But wait… why is she kissing me? Though I don't mind it at all, I'm still curious. Did her illness act out again?'

Marceline didn't give him time to think as his full attention was now fixed on her and the movement of her playful lips. She was running her tongue over his lips, licking and nibbling on them.

He inhaled her sweet tempting scent, triggering and awakening the flaming desire inside of him. He could feel the hardened buds of her soft bosoms press against his chest, sending heat all throughout his body.

'Damn! This woman is spoiling me too much with this great intimacy. I am no gentleman... Not anymore. So who am I to refuse this?'

And like nothing, Kira had long forgotten his strange dream just a moment ago as all he could think of now was how to savor this wonderful moment with this alluring woman.

"Stealing a kiss while I'm asleep, my Lady? What a wonderful way of disrupting my peaceful sleep. I'll be honest with you… I like it!" Kira cheekily said after breaking the kiss.

But the smile on his lips disappeared in an instant as soon as he met her amber eyes. What the hell? Her emerald eyes turned into amber once again?!

"Mate… Let's do it!" Marceline seductively mumbled, her eyes beaming with excitement.

Kira: "..."

'Huh? Do what? And why the hell is she calling me Mate? Don't tell me she lost herself again?!'
