Chapter 407 Complex Relationship
"Okay, Okay... I am sorry," Eli apologized sincerely, sensing Mia's persistence.
"Hmph," Mia responded, crossing her arms with a pout.
"Here, I brought a sweet chocolate for my sweet little sister!" Eli then offered her a sweet chocolate, a treat he had brought back from the Flora Continent.
Mia stared at the small candy, her resolve wavering momentarily but then she shook her head, 'Don't fall for his tricks, Mia!' She reminded herself not to be swayed too easily by his gestures.
"Do you think you can mend my little hurt heart that easily?" Mia questioned, her hand betraying her resolve by reaching out for the candy.
"Well... "Eli glanced at her trembling hand that trying to reach the candies "... Yeah"
Mia's face flushed with embarrassment, then abruptly bit Eli's neck again before storming out, her cheeks aflame. However, she couldn't resist taking the small candy with her, leaving Eli with a playful warning.
"Next time, I'll kill you if you leave me alone!" Mia declared before disappearing from the room.
"Hahah..." Eli chuckled, amused by Mia's antics, and made a mental note to spend more time with her to avoid such outbursts in the future otherwise.... She might do it.
Then, Eli turned to unstable Zera, who was visibly trying to control herself from pouncing on him.
"Sigh," Eli audibly sighed before saying, "Come with me."
Zera's eyes brightened up at his invitation, and Eli led her to another room where his big sister had previously rested.
He carefully locked the door and glanced at Zera, whose face turned as red as a ripe tomato while she breathed heavily, her chest rising and falling in rapid rhythm.
"You know, this might hurt your mother, right?" Eli's voice carried a gentle concern.
Zera flinched at his words, her eyes dropping down in uncertainty. She wasn't sure what to say. She knew... she was doing something wrong, and yet she couldn't resist the urge that carved deep within her, yearning for his blood.
Eli sighed softly, observing the way her expression fell, 'I suppose there's no turning back now,' he mused silently before lifting her up in a motion that caught her by surprise, settling her gently onto his lap.
"Here... Go on," Eli whispered, tilting his head slightly to expose his neck, a silent invitation in his eyes.
'Gulp,' Zera swallowed nervously, her throat parched with anticipation. Her reservations suddenly dissipated like wisps of smoke before she leaned in and sank her teeth into his neck, savouring the metallic taste of his blood.
'Though I don't want to lose control again... but still...' Zera's gaze lingered on Eli's lips, a mixture of desire and uncertainty in her eyes.
Slowly, she leaned in towards his lips, a silent question in her movements. Seeing this, Eli finally understood her unspoken desire.
"Are you sure?" Eli asked gently, wanting to confirm her intentions. He couldn't forget the incident where they had almost crossed a line, but now he couldn't bear the thought of leaving her to anyone else. He knew she was like Adriana, truly and 'Madly' in love with him.
Zera flinched slightly, her expression tinged with sadness. "I-I don't know..." her voice trailed off uncertainly.
She was still a child, not yet ready for the complexities of a relationship... much like Mia.
Eli nodded understandingly and lifted her gently, his gaze meeting her sky-blue eyes that revealed a hint of vulnerability.
"I see..." Eli murmured softly before lowering his head and pressing his lips against hers.
"~HMM!!~" Your next read is at empire
Zera's eyes widened in surprise, a single tear forming at the corner of her eye.
She then wrapped her arms around Eli's neck, her touch gentle as she began to respond to his kiss with equal tenderness.
"~Hmm~"
After a lingering moment, they parted, their foreheads leaning against each other in silent understanding.
"I'll handle Adriana," Eli assured her, his tone firm yet comforting.
".... I'm sorry," Zera whispered, her voice tinged with sadness.
She had been the one to initiate their relationship, fully aware of the complexities and moral dilemmas it posed. Despite knowing it was wrong, her heart only desired Eli's companionship.
Eli couldn't help but smile at the mixture of emotions playing across her face, finding her adorable even in her sadness, "You're cute~" he teased gently, his affection evident in his eyes.
"Hm?" Zera's face turned in surprise as she realized their closeness, her intention to move away halted as Eli caught her hips and captured her lips in another tender kiss.
"~Hmm~"
