His face was still the same.
Pale, cold but it was my favorite. I watched over him as the Healers prepared their needles. He needed seven dozes to nullify the paralyzing effect of Butter's saliva. Each doze could be administered after every three hours.
I explained the process to him. Just like I used to instruct him how to play.
He didn't nod or anything but I knew he understood it well. I let my hands feel his skin as I stroked his arms up and down. It was supposed to relax him. But I could see the goosebumps that he was getting.
Could it be that he was getting cold?
No it could not. Darian's kind never felt cold. Even in extreme temperatures.
I covered him with a blanket nevertheless. It had been years since we parted ways. Nobody knew how the vampires had adapted to the earth's ever changing atmosphere.
" Here, the shots are ready Hazal. Do you want me to administer them. "
The Healer , Jacklin, my friend asked me.
" Thank you Jacklin. You can leave them here. I will take care of the rest.
In the meanwhile, can you please rush to the Governance House for me. I would like you to submit a report over there, on my behalf. "
Jacklin stared me down.
I knew what she was thinking. I was hoping she would not say it loud but, being the a*shole that she was, she did.
"Miss Hazal , my lovely dear friend, I had been so worried about your love life all these years. I had no idea that it were the vampires that you were into.
I must really say Hazal this one is a nice choice over here, but given the situation between our tribes, I don't think you could have a stable future.
Uhun! No chance. "
She flipped her hair off her shoulder, her eyes drifting off midair. I could literally visualise everything that she was imagining. A fast forward of my dating life with Darian that even extended to marriage with kids.
" Jacklin, you may stop. I just asked you to submit a report on my behalf. You can stop embarrassing yourself and me too. "
I knew Darian was fully awake and listening to all our conversation.
" Alright. Alright. Will do. "
She still lingered around.
I raised my brows to ask her with my eyes,
" What?"
" Umm, are you not going to give him the first shot? "
My jaws opened with her question. I actually was waiting for her to leave the room. The shot needed to be given on the buttocks. I honestly did not want to make Darian uncomfortable infront of anyone else. But the fact that Jacklin was a Healer had skipped my mind. She was just another girl in my eyes.
" I, ummm, yeah. I was just about to... "
I got up and was fidgeting through the dozes.
" Ooooooooooo! I see. You wanted to admire his sexy ass in private. My bad. Go ahead girl. I am leaving. "
She left the room and was about to close the door behind her when I grabbed her hand.
" No. No. It's not like that. You can stay. "
She smiled at me. Winked and then shut the door anyway.
I heaved.
" Crazy girl " I told Darian and then went over to the counter to get the shot ready.
I flipped him over so now he was facing down.
"This might burn a little. But don't worry. There is nothing harmful in its ingredients. Its one hundred percent natural. "
I gave him a statutory warning before going for his belt and loosening it a bit.
When I bent to let my hands go over his hips to reach his belt, my chest touched his exposed end of the back.
I remembered clearly throwing myself all over him when we used to go out on our little adventures. It had never felt this way. May be it was due to the changes in our bodies as they morphed and adapted. I felt a sudden impact of electric jolt run through my senses.
I moved back.
" Sorry, I... "
I didn't know why I apologized to Darian. I was feeling like an i***t. This time I held my breath and went ahead . Pulling his belt apart with the force and jerk. The poor thing came right out in my hand.
" Darian. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to. "
I looked at his face. He could not have reacted but I was sure I caught him smirk.
Or was it my imagination.
Anyway I went back to business. I pulled his pants down, just enough to expose one of his butt cheeks.
The sight made me gulp, even though I had seen him on various occasions, absolutely naked.
I quickly turned my attention to the syringe, labelled as the first doze. I applied the disinfectant to the area I was about to pierce before thrusting the needle in him.
I carefully pulled his pants up. Them sat down on the chair with a thud.
Heaved.
It was as if I had achieved some enormous feet. Carrying him all the way had not made me so fatigued. The effects his body was having on me made me more agitated, nervous and worked up.
I turned to look at him. He still had that stunned expression.
I let my hands run over his hair. It felt like I was touching velvet or some well trimmed grass. I kept going forward and backward.
It made my heart dance with joy after such a long time. I didn't know I needed this in my life so bad.
My hands suddenly grabbed his neck and my lips darted forward and ended with a peck at his cheeks.
I sat back again. Relieved. I knew my lips had the intention of landing elsewhere. Its target was his lips. I was able to put a brake on it just on time and diverting its course.
