286 Lonely
Dilan didn’t need to have many brains to notice that Victoria became even naughtier the moment she digested his blood.
Her eyes were filled with lust, and she clung to him like a young girl, who had fallen in love at first sight.
When she jumped on him, and coiled her legs around his waist, while her hands reached behind his neck, Dilan frowned.
After all he was a normal man, so it was impossible for him to feel anything when the most beautiful woman he had set eyes on clung to him like this.
His little monster twitched in his pants for the first time in a while, causing Dilan to smile wryly.
“Do you want to do it?~” Victoria immediately asked, her eyes gleaming brightly. Becoming one with her Darling would bring her additional mana benefits.
In fact, all Vampires gained strength by mating with someone strong and powerful. The effect was not easily noticeable under normal circumstances. Only when the mate was someone much stronger, and highly compatible with oneself would one notice an increase in strength after mating.
Victoria could tell that she was highly compatible with Dilan. She felt a restless energy course through her ever since she came in contact with him, and they had not even known each other for long.
“Girl, get back to your senses,” Dilan said laughing lightly before he lifted his right hand. It reached her head in an instant and just a moment later he flicked his fingers against her forehead.
Victoria’s grasp around his neck loosened and she almost fell to the ground. However, Dilan’s other hand gently went behind her back to break her fall.
“Ooff, was that really necessary?” Victoria asked in a sulky voice. She didn’t even realize it but her behavior changed a bit after Dilan flicked her.
‘Is it normal for Vampires to get horny after drinking blood?’ Dilan wondered while continuing to eye Victoria.
“Can you get down?” He asked calmly. Victoria followed his command but her eyes were clearly glued to the monster that was hidden beneath Dilan’s pants.
“You are not honest to yourself~,” She said jokingly as her fingertips lightly grazed his neck. Dilan was just about to tell her off when Victoria removed her hand quickly.
“I know, I know, the Sanctum Keys…” Victoria quickly uttered before moving ahead. She had to hide both her disappointment that Dilan didn’t submit to his wild instincts, and also that she was totally embarrassed by what she had just done.
‘Are you stupid, girl? Why would you suddenly pounce on him? He definitely thinks that I am a weirdo now… Since when did I start doing something so stupid??’ Victoria couldn’t believe what she had done instinctively.
She felt like she had only one chance to get her hands on Dilan before he would escape her grasp. This was utter nonsense but her instincts had basically forced her to jump on Dilan. The intensity with which vampires felt emotions was several times stronger than humans.
The moment someone angered them, it was not unlikely for a bit of annoyance to turn into an action exhibiting emotion towards the person who annoyed them. It was exactly the same with lust. However, under normal circumstances, Victoria had herself under control.
Dilan’s blood was the issue and at fault for Victoria’s action. She was unable to control herself in the slightest after she had gotten just a taste of his blood. It was simply too delicious and arousing.
In a single feeding, Victoria had regained her entire strength, and she could clearly tell that her strength would increase just by drinking Dilan’s blood a few more times.
After having lived on the blood of animals for close to 1500 years, Victoria had been overwhelmed by Dilan’s blood that tasted like a delicacy she would want to feast on again. It had been impossible for her to reject his offer.
Thus, she ended up in such an embarrassing situation. However, she was not the only one who was affected.
‘I didn’t expect her to jump on me…it’s only normal for my body to react, but still…’ Dilan thought, shaking his head.
Victoria’s scent still lingered around him, and so was the memory of her body rubbing his while she had clung to him.
‘Did I become a pervert all of a sudden?’ He wondered, doubting himself.
However, it was just the fact that Ascenders also had a heightened sense of emotions than ordinary humans which rendered them incapable of controlling their body properly.
Dilan was pretty sure that he would give in if Victoria were to approach him like this more often.
But it was not as if this was something illegal.
‘I am just a man, and it’s not like I have to live like a monk, or do I?’ Dilan shook his head at this thought.
It was only obvious that he didn’t need to hold back, just because he was the leader of a large group, or because Milarn had changed in its entirety.
He could do whatever he wanted to, and as long as he didn’t break his own rules everything would be perfectly fine.
“By the way, when was the last time you fed? It doesn’t matter whether it’s human or animal blood,” Dilan asked all of a sudden. He had some thoughts on his mind and getting to know Victoria would help him sort some of them.
Victoria slowed down when she heard that Dilan was talking to her. She had calmed down from the incident she had caused before and could answer him without blushing, or feeling like pouncing on him.
“The last time I drank the blood of an animal was probably before the Primordial Ascension happened. And I never drank the blood of humans before. Y-you were the f-first one…” Victoria said, turning shy when she revealed that Dilan was the first human she had consumed the blood of.
However, Dilan just nodded his head. His little monster had calmed down and his mind was freed of naughty thoughts as well.
‘So her instincts probably went into an overdrive causing the bloodlust?’ He concluded before asking the other question that interested him a lot.
“Were you alone from the beginning, or did you separate from your people to meet the Patriarch of the Mihorl clan?” Dilan didn’t intend to hide what he wanted to know from her.
He asked in a straightforward manner and hoped that Victoria would answer honestly. This was important to trust her enough to allow her inside his group.
There was a distinctive difference between Vampires and humans, after all.
Victoria would probably kill everyone who approached her. However, every single man would find it hard to not be attracted by her appearance and the natural charm that she exuded as a noble Vampire and confident woman.
That was why Dilan had to know whether she would be able to control herself and if she was trustworthy enough, and not secretly an opponent, who was sent out to seduce the leader of their rival group.
Seeing that Victoria’s expression changed drastically upon getting asked whether she was alone or not, Dilan knew that there was something she was hiding. She seemed to be on the verge of crying all of a sudden but Dilan didn’t do anything to console her.
He merely appeared next to her, to make his presence known. Within the following minutes, Victoria calmed down as she revealed,
“I have always been alone….since the Sanctum of the Old Vampire Lord had been created by the King…”
