CHAPTER 2: THE DELICIOUS TASTE OF THE ONE YOU LOVE

Saber Lovelace. He was not normal in any sense of the word. He lived most of his life in Europe with his adoptive father – Jason Lovelace. Jason was the only family Saber had ever known ever since he was a child.

He never really met his biological parents but Jason love telling him all sorts of stories about them. When he was a child his bedtime stories are always about his parents – how kind people they are, and how they love Saber more than anything in the world. Jason made sure that Saber has memories of his parents even if it’s only in stories.

It was a really complicated time when Saber asked Jason why he can’t mingle with other people his age. He didn’t get to know the real reason until he was ten years old. Jason sat him down one evening on his bed with a heavy sigh. It was a long night filled with questions, explanations, and confusion.

He said they were man-eaters. At first, Saber thought they eat human flesh but Jason explained that they were not cannibals or anything of that sort. He said that they only devour bodily fluids such as saliva or sweat from other people. Jason also said that we are a rare kind of species, they were only one in two million people.

It was like fate that he found Saber. He was the one that taught Saber’s parents about what to do with him since normal food really can’t quench his hunger. And when Saber’s parents died, there were no second thoughts for Jason, he immediately adopted Saber.

As a child, Saber is still confused about what they really are but it answered the food that Jason brought home every day. His father usually has three to five bottles of liquid with him whenever he comes home. Saber only needs to drink it and instantly he will be filled like he ate a whole meal.

Gradually as Saber grows older his desire for food increases. He is not satisfied anymore with the food that Jason provides. And when he was finally let out of the house, he came across his first taste.

He remembered like it was yesterday. Even though he was homeschooled he passed the exam to become a freshman in high school. His first real taste of fresh food was a classmate during his freshman year. She was beautiful and by the side looks she keeps on giving him she was interested. He didn’t know who gave the first signal but before school even ended they were inside the janitor’s closet sucking each other’s faces off.

Starting then he became known as the school’s biggest player. Saber made out with all the girls in his school and even some in the school next town. It was well-known that there is no commitment when you get it on with Saber. All of it is just for fun. What they didn’t know is that Saber didn’t really feel anything for those girls they are just food for him. A food source to keep him alive.

He didn’t know how he discovered it but his food tastes even better when having s*x. He really likes having his fill when his target is feeling good.  The more they get heated the more his food gets delicious. And like a drug he was addicted to it.

Saber chuckled as he reminisces about his past. He can’t help but look back because after today he will leave everything behind.

“Move your feet faster Saber, we are going to be late on our flight.” Jason shook the shoulders of his adopted son. “Stop daydreaming. We need to get out of here now or they will catch us before we can escape.”

Saber sighed at his father’s paranoia but continued to follow him through the security check of the airport. “Relax dad, we got ahead of them. It’ll be a couple of days more before they found out we already left the country. Those suckers will never know where we are by then.”

“Still, it is necessary to take some precaution. They are much closer this time and we can’t afford for them to find us.”

“I know, I know.” Saber answered.

They have been on a run ever since Jason adopted Saber. He didn’t really know who are they running from but his father said that it was some mad scientist or a doctor or whatever crazy dude, that somehow discovered them when he was little.

This is already their third run ever since Saber was adopted. The first is when they fled from his parent’s hometown to Asia then fled again to Europe. Now, they are on the run again but this time they are going to America.

Jason already explained where they are going. Apparently, they will be staying in a small town in the middle of nowhere. He said that it was a quaint little town that you usually see on those small-town postcards. They really don’t like it in the city because of how crowded it is and how easier it is for them to track us.

Saber groaned as he takes his seat on the plane. “I am going to miss the food here.”

His father gave him a little glare but eventually just sighed at him. “You really are a player.”

“C’mon, dad you know I really love tasting different cuisines.” Saber smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.

“Stop it with your pun Saber. Can you not stick with like one person?”

“Nope.” Saber said, popping the ‘P’. “I don’t like sticking to one taste, it gets old easily.”

“I keep telling you son that when you found the person you love their aroma and taste will keep you sated forever. It will be the most wonderful taste you’ll ever have in your tongue and any other food you ever tasted will compare nothing to it.” Jason said to his son.

“You keep saying that but I don’t believe it. I’ve never met someone that smells so good that will keep my mouth-watering. Maybe it’s just a legend to our kind you know?”

“Whatever, Saber. I already told you that it is true but I guess it doesn’t through that thick head of yours.”

Saber just grinned cheekily at his father. They had this talk ever since Saber jump from one food to another and his dad kept on reminding him about a special person that he will meet. He doesn’t believe it, obviously. He never met anyone that he thinks can keep him sated forever. He can’t comprehend the idea of eating one taste for the rest of your life. It just doesn’t make any sense.

He never met any other man-eaters other than his dad, so Saber is really doubtful about what his father is saying. But it’s the dreamy look of his father's face whenever he talks about this that keeps a tiny piece of Saber’s mind curious to believe that it can be true.

He let out a sigh. ‘Might as well sleep, because this will be a long flight.’  Saber said to himself and closed his eyes.

The next time he opened them they already landed on the land of the brave.

****

Saber gazes up to look at their new house. It is a white two-story Victorian house that is a little too big with just the two of them. It has a circular patio and a well-tended front lawn. He didn’t know how his dad manages to get this house but it was gorgeous.

As they walk inside the house you can see the mix of antique and modern touches in the interior. Saber was in awe at the house. He can’t wait to see his room. He raced upstairs with his suitcase to find his room.

“It’s the last door on the right.” Saber heard his father shout from downstairs knowing why his son is racing upstairs.

He pulled the door open and his mouth opened wide. His room is magnificent. The walls were painted royal blue with black geometric designs. He got a queen size bed in the middle, a study desk on one side, and a bookshelf on the other. He also has a huge flat screen that is hanging on the wall and he can see an x-box on the bottom with games on a rack. He walked to the side of the room and checked the two doors in his room. One is a medium-built walk-in closet while the other is his en suite bathroom. It was every teenage boy’s dream room.

After checking out his room he went downstairs to his dad. “Dad this house is awesome.”

Jason just chuckled at his adopted son’s enthusiasm. “I know. We are so lucky that I found it immediately. And because this is just a small town the price wasn’t that high. It’s a bit big for us but at least we have a bigger space than in Europe.”

Saber just nodded at his dad repeatedly while grinning like a fool.

“Go and unpack in your room. We have a meeting with the principal of your school in an hour, so hurry. Okay?”

Saber groaned. “School,” he said with a disappointed tone. “Why do they have to go to school on the first day they got here. The torture.”

Jason just shook his head watching Saber’s whine. “Go.”

****

Saber was panting. He woke up late so he had to run from his house to school, he is blaming jet lag. Then along the way, he must’ve taken a wrong turn or something because he got lost.  Even though they already went there with his dad yesterday it was way different traveling with a car and just walking.

He sighed as he arrived in front of the school gates. He is so freaking late.

He dragged his tired legs inside. Mrs. Jameson, the principal of the school, already provided him his class schedule and a map of the school. He just needs to find where his first class is – which is History.

He wandered around a couple of hallways. The new school feels like a maze. He tried to flip his map up and down, side to side just to figure out where his classroom is. After ten minutes of searching, he is finally in front of room E117.

Because of the adrenaline still running in his veins and also because of his tardiness, he opened the door harshly than he expected.

“Sorry, I’m late.” Saber said panting. “I got lost.”

He sensed a lot of eyes directed at him so he looked up. Everyone inside the classroom was curiously looking at him. He can feel all the girl’s dreamy looks in the classroom as he can literally see them swoon. On the other hand, the boys look at him with either jealousy or admiration. He would be lying if he won’t admit that he did like the attention that he is getting.

But there is something that's bothering Saber above all the attention he is getting. His nose is tingling as he can smell something he never smelled before. The whole room is filled with different aromas of the people inside but one particular scent really got him going. It was mouthwatering. He ate before going to school but one sniff got him hungry all of a sudden.

“Mister, stand here in front, and please introduce yourself to the class.” The teacher in front asked Saber. He thinks that it was Mr. Finnigan according to his class schedule.

“Hi, everybody! The name is Saber Lovelace.” He introduced himself cheerfully and even gave them a little vow. “We moved here from Europe because of my dad. Now, we live here in your town and that’s the story of my life. Nice to meet all of you. I hope we can all be friends.” He gave an easy outgoing grin after his speech showing his two rows of perfectly aligned white teeth. 

“Okay, Mr. Lovelace please take a seat in the back. There is an empty spot next to Mr. Reynolds.” The teacher said as he pointed his hand towards the back.

Saber looked at where the teacher is pointing. It was pointing in the direction of a cute guy. Saber's eyes roamed around his face. He was still far from him but he can see that the guy has this chestnut-colored hair that falls above his amber eyes and cute nose. 

He heard a little cough from the teacher beside him urging him to sit down. He smiled and walked to the back. He can feel eyes still following him but his sole focus is directed to the boy he was supposed to sit beside to. As he walks towards the guy, he can sense that the sweet scent that his nose whiff before was getting stronger. He can literally feel his mouth pooling with saliva. It smells so good that he wants to devour whoever got that smell.

“Hi, my name’s Oliver.” The guy greeted as Saber settled on the vacant seat beside him.

Saber looked at him directly and took another sniff. He caught the whiff of the amazing aroma coming from this Oliver guy. He didn’t believe that a guy can smell this good. He never encountered anything like this. All his life he only likes the smell of girls as his food.

“Hello, Oliver. You smelled good.” Saber greeted back to Oliver. His body moved on its own and licked Oliver’s cheek.

It was great that everyone’s attention was back on the board because he can see Oliver’s cheeks burning with embarrassment and horrification. He chuckled a little but tried to focus his attention on the teacher in front.

****

All throughout the class, he can see Oliver fidgeting. His head was ducked on the table but Saber knows he is not asleep. He too cannot sit still on his seat. Oliver's smell is wrapping around him and he is trying so hard not to do anything in class.

After the bell ringed Oliver dashed out of the room. Saber's eyes followed his retreating form with amusement. He chuckled and took off after him. Some students tried to catch his attention but he was on a mission to follow the boy. Oliver was fast and was already out of sight when Saber got out of the classroom. Even though he can’t see Oliver anymore, he can smell his scent. That’s what he followed until he reached the boys' bathroom.

He opened the door quietly. Saber can see Oliver at the bathroom sink with confusion etched on his face. Oliver took a couple of deep breaths and washed his face. He can’t keep quiet anymore so he spoke.

“Well hello, sweet-smelling Oliver.”

Oliver jumped when he heard Saber’s voice in the bathroom. Saber can see his face turned from confused to horrified. Oliver kept on shaking his head. Saber didn’t want any distraction so he closed the door and locked it shut.

“What do you want from me?” Oliver backed up. But Saber was faster got Oliver trapped between his body and the sink.

Saber just hummed. They were looking straight into each other, faces just inches apart. Saber got the urge to sniff Oliver so he dips his head onto the boy's shoulder. He runs his nose up and down Oliver’s neck. He can feel Oliver sweating because of what he is doing. Then Oliver released a small whimper when Saber licked his neck.

He let out a mental moan when he got a taste of Oliver. When he licked Oliver’s cheek earlier he tasted so good but now that he can lick Oliver’s sweat, he can taste him more. And he tastes divine.

“W-what are you doing? P-please s-stop.” Oliver pleaded.

“Why would I stop? You taste delicious, Oli.” Saber whispered from the bottom of Oliver’s neck. He didn’t even notice that he called Oliver by a nickname.

He can feel Oliver shuddered. Saber licked his lips in anticipation. He wants more from this boy, so much more.

Saber hummed. “Your scent is so aromatic, luring me to you. Your taste is mouthwatering, enticing me even more. How come I just found you? I should’ve moved in this little town years before if I had known that I will find you here.” Saber can’t help but blurt it out. He didn’t stop what he is doing on Oliver’s neck as he speaks. He can feel himself getting addicted.

His hands moved on their own reaching up until they are inside Oliver's shirt. He heard Oliver gasps.

“W-what are you d-doing?” Oliver stuttered.

Saber did not answer and keep feeling up Oliver’s back. Up and down, he can feel the soft skin of Oliver’s back. He wondered if all of Oliver felt this soft. “Don’t worry Oli, you will like what I’ll do.”

Then Saber was down on his knees in front of Oliver.

“W-what?”
