Serena could not help but to nod her head, and then Eiravyn's eyes narrowed on her.

"I need your words, kitten." Eiravyn commanded in a husky voice, she felt Eiravyn's hand weaved itself into her red hair, turning her to lean to the side as though he wanted to drink from her.

She felt her lips go dry. In her effort to bring back moisture, she slowly ran her tongue on her lips, and Eiravyn's eyes quickly fell on the little action. His eyes darkened, as he drank in the sight of her supple lips.

Eiravyn let out a low strained groan, as Serena's scent was getting more intense by the minute and it was driving him crazy.

The urge to have her, the tantalizing scent of the intoxicating vanilla flavor was increasing by the minute and Eiravyn wanted desperately to lick her everywhere, to lick every drop of her nectar.

The urge was driving him crazy and his witch side was resisting but the vampire side was very persistent.

His lower body moved, and Eiravyn let go of her, he was speechless as his eyes fell on his bulge. He seemed a little surprised. No, he was very surprise. He didn't even realize that he was hard. If not for the fact that he felt it moved.

He couldn't believe that he, of all people got hard just because this girl licked her lips.

"Little kitten, you sure are very dangerous…" he muttered in his head before he finally looked at her.

She still had a shocked expression on her face, and she was breathing hard, he could feel the blood rushing to her face, sweat ran down her neck, and her big eyes… for some damn reason, they were so damn seductive, just looking at her made him even harder.

She was too tempting, and Eiravyn was fighting with everything within himself to not yank her to himself and touch her the way he longed to. She was still not ready. He thought, and doing that would only make her more scared.

Eiravyn closed his eyes and tried to control himself. While Serena was a nervous wreck under Eiravyn's touch, she didn't know what had turned Eiravyn like this, just a while ago, he was okay and now. He looked ready to eat her at any moment.

Serena took a step back when she realized that she was already touching the wall, she could not help asking him. "Are you okay?" Serena questioned.

There was something in those red eyes now that looked darker than before, and his tongue lick his lips, "Your scent is driving me crazy. And it is time for my meal."

Hearing Eiravyn's words, Serena's eyes widened, and she looked straight into his red eyes that stared right back at her. The space she thought was present was taken way from her when he leaned forward. Serena could feel her heart beating in her ears at the closeness, alone in the room where no one would interrupt them. And she was sure Eiravyn could hear her heart beating wildly because of his heightened hearing.

Eiravyn was acting strange and she didn't know what to think about it. She wished a maid or anyone would walk into the room right now. Maybe then, Eiravyn would finally let her go. But she knew no one would dare enter the room when the king was inside.

' What does he mean, it was time for his meal?'

If it was time then he should go to the kitchen and not bother her.

Eiravyn gazed into those big blue eyes. He wondered why he was supposed to stop, when he could take what was his in the first place.

"You don't have to worry Kitten," said Eiravyn, "I won't eat you now, I have court meeting remember?"

Eiravyn heard her release a breath and he was sure it was relief when his eyes flew to her expose neck, "but this night, don't expect me to leave you alone, we shall start our lessons today." Eiravyn said and the relief breath Serena took in earlier felt like a waste of breath.

Eiravyn stared at Serena, his eyes as if ready to eat her up. He finally took a step back away from her, "have a good rest, Seren," he wished her, but Serena did not have the balls to reply him, she stood there and watched as Eiravyn stepped out of the room. She didn't even realize that he had called her fondly for the first time.

Serena heard his footsteps retreating, only then did she take a large breath of air and leaned her back against the wall. After her heart stopped racing, she finally walked towards the bath where the mirrors hung on the wall. Bending down, she washed her face, trying to get her mind sorted as it felt too messy to think anything.

After splashing water a couple of times, she finally stood straight to see the water drops slide down from her skin and fell down.

Remembering Eiravyn's words that he wanted to have his meal, was he talking about her? She shivered and bent down again to splash some more water on her face.

On the other side of the royal house, Eiravyn was in a better mood than he was in the morning after finding out that Serena had tried to leave him. He was sure that she would never think of leaving him, not even when he showed her this side of himself. He could not have her leaving him anytime she wanted without considering his feelings. He heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

"Have you caught the traitor amongst the knight?" asked Eiravyn.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the knight had been captured and punished accordingly. We have strong proof that he was the one who tried to sneak the intruders out of the dungeon." Answered Celrean.

Eiravyn nodded, "you did well, Celrean. All you have to do now is interrogate him till he reveal the truth. As it seems, my ability would not be necessary since they have a witch erase their memories. I trust that you will give him a better justice and won't disappoint the knight."

"I try, Your Majesty." Celrean replied as if it was nothing. "Did you have a good meal?"

A content smile appeared on Eiravyn's lips, "not yet. My meal is still unripe…"
