Loving A Mortal (18+)

Chapter 3 - The Temptress is Tempted

"Why do I have to wait for her to die if I could just end her unworthy life in a flash?" Ambrose uttered as he tries to gain his composure. He still couldn't believe he was looking at his own heart inside a jar.

"No, Ambrose. If you kill her then you'll die. If she dies in an accident where you are around then you'll also die. If you try to not be around her and she dies then you would also surely die," Devas said, explaining how his actions would result to. "Protect her, let her live her life until she dies of age," Devas uttered.

Ambrose thought that it wouldn't be that hard since humans couldn't live long unlike Ercians who could live up to thousands of years. Ambrose has been living for a hundred and fifty years, and he's been living miserable for fifty years already. It's been fifty years since he last saw Mereda.

"It wouldn't be that hard, I guess. When will I be sent to Earth?" Ambrose asked.

Devas grinned at Ambrose's question. "You are such in a hurry, Ambrose." He summoned his bloody knife to draw a cut on Ambrose's thumb. "Remember, Ambrose, you will live as a human but not completely. You would adapt their emotions and mentality but you will still be an immortal Ercian," Devas uttered as he waited for Ambrose's blood to fill the cup of the jar.

"Now the covenant is sealed. You may live your life on Earth, enjoy!" Devas snapped his finger and Ambrose witnessed Devas' menacing smile before the world around him turned to black.

A place crowded with people dancing to loud banging music and drinking shots of liquor is where Eris Hawkeens live her nightlife to the fullest. The temptress Eris is praised and adored by many men, who want to have a taste of her.

"Eris, your brother has been calling me for the thirtieth time already. Why won't just tell him to stop bothering you?" Anna asked in a loud voice.

Eris and Anna are on the dance floor and a lot of men have been eyeing Eris, but her friends keep on protecting her from the men around them.

"Turn off your phone, Anna. My brother just wanted to talk to you, don't mind him." Eris continued swaying her hips, unconsciously seducing the eyes of the men eyeing her.

Anna turned off her phone just like Eris said. She and Eris' brother have broken up a year already but he still rings her phone up asking about Eris' whereabouts and whatnot.

One of their friends, Tracey, joined them on the dance floor with four vodkas in her hands. "Anna, do you want to have a shot?" She asked.

Anna raised her left eyebrow after seeing the vodkas in Tracey's hands. "Who allowed you to drink?" Anna asked.

Eris grabbed one of the vodkas in Tracey's hands and gulped it quickly. "Oh my God! What the hell is this?" Eris coughed by the bitter taste and burning sensation caused by the vodka.

Anna and Tracey laughed so hard at Eris' action. "Oh dear, you just drank a vodka," Anna and Tracey uttered in chorus.

"That was vodka? It tastes weird but it's kinda good, I don't know." Eris giggled and gulped another shot of vodka.

Anna's eyes got bigger and her mouth opened agape. "Eris, hold your horses, that's enough!" Anna scolded.

Eris just rolled her eyes at Anna's words. "We're already nineteen so what's wrong with drinking a little bit of vodka?" then Eris drank the remaining two glasses of vodka in Tracey's hand.

"Okay, that's enough. You just drank four glasses of vodka, it's time to go home now." Tracey grabbed Eris and Anna's hands and she pulled them out from the dance floor.

Eris suddenly felt a sudden and strong need to urinate. "You girls go to the car first, I need to pee. I'll be quick." Eris rushed her way to the comfort room.

Thank God, there was no queue in the comfort room so she immediately did her business. She felt dizzy and the place started to swirl before her eyes. The alcohol is kicking in, her sight becoming blurry and the sound around her is becoming unclear too.

"Miss Hawkeens, your room is ready for you to occupy. Enjoy!" Eris heard someone talking to her and all she could do is follow the lady who just told her something she barely understood.

The lady opened a door and Eris entered the room clueless about what is about to happen.

All Eris could think is to rest her body, and maybe someone from above was listening to her because she sees a bed in front of her. What a lucky day it is!

She dragged her body to the bed, lying with her back faced to the ceiling but she felt something hard in her hands. She pressed and rubbed the huge and hot hard thing in her hand then out of nowhere, someone moaned. "Ugh."

Eris pulled her hands in shock. Her eyes opened wide as if she had done something extraordinary.

As Eris tried to pull herself out of the bed, a hand reached her arm and pulled her back from her recent position. Eris could see the man's frame but it was too hard to see his face for it was too dark.

The man swiftly moved his body on top of Eris making Eris feel somewhat excited and weird at the same time.

"What are you doing?" The man groaned in his husky voice.

Eris didn't answer his question, instead, she commented about some sword poking between her buns. "Your thing is poking my buns," Eris said awkwardly.

The man was confused by Eris's words. "What buns?" He asked in confusion.

"Duh, do I really have to literally say the word?" Eris answered.

The man moved beside Eris and said, "It seems like you are the woman Devas is talking about."

Eris couldn't understand the meaning of what the man just have said. "What are you talking about?" Eris sat on the bed and rubbed her forehead to lessen the drowsiness she was feeling.

"Why am I here anyway? I need to go to my friends." Eris looked at the man's half-naked body, flaunting six delicious-looking abs worth salivating for, then she found her gaze darting towards a breathtaking handsome face.

"Do you want to do something?" Eris breathed.
