"Cheater," she accused feigning annoyance. Recently she found it hard to get angry at him on any matter. She had begun to give into his traps too easily. Seeing him happy brought her inner peace.

"Told you, I won’t play fair when it concerns you," his milky white wings flapped behind him, as both of them hovered over the swimming pool and held each other’s gaze. The time froze, the world froze too, only he existed for her in those seconds or were they minutes? Maybe hours, she didn’t know, she didn’t care.

She shivered and he flew toward the loungers, landing on his feet he covered her with his wings.

Aselia reached out and stroked them with so much love, how could she forget that they had held her when she was at her lowest? They held her when he couldn’t.

The tip of his wing stroked her cheek while the rest caressed her body, tingling her back as they slightly brushed her naked skin. They felt so soft, so fluffy, just like being wrapped in cotton.

His wings lifted her off her feet and tilted her so she could lie down on them while still in the air, they made a feathery bed for her and she couldn’t help but giggle.

"Xiran, these are so fluffy and almost seem delicate," he could sense the gaiety in her voice as she intertwined her finger with the feathers in his wing. His heart felt at ease.

"They seem delicate but they are not, they can withstand the pressure and heal. My mother’s wings couldn’t heal but my vampire genes mingled with hers and I was given the ones who could heal," he replied softly. His eyes held a tinge of sadness as he spoke about his mother.

Aselia reached out and touched his face, reassuring him she was there to share his pain. He held her hand closer to his face.

"You won’t leave me Aselia? Will you?" His words held his insecurities, he couldn’t shake them.

"I will never leave you," she whispered back and leaned in to hug him. He hugged her back with a heavy heart and his wings wrapped themselves around her too.

"Let’s go in, I don’t want you to catch a cold," he finally whispered, letting her go and grabbing a towel from the small table which lay beside the loungers. He wrapped her in the towel, his wings disappeared and he carried her inside. Melancholy crept into her heart, seeing his wings disappear.

"Which room do you have?" Xiran inquired and Aselia pointed to the top.

Climbing the stairs, they reached her room, and opening the door Xiran settled her on the bed and kneeled in front of her to pat dry her hair.

"Let me get you out of this wet lingerie," his hands moved to her bikini.

"No," she almost shouted and jerked away from him.

"Why not? It’s not like I haven’t seen your breasts before," he asked her with an amused expression.

"Yes, but..." her eyes traveled to her panties and she didn’t finish her sentence.

"But? Use words Aselia. I don’t understand," he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer again. His hands shifted to her thighs and he rubbed them, inching closer to her panties.

"That’s enough, don’t be an ass now," she slapped away his hand and got up. "I will change in the bathroom, stay here."

He pouted at her action and squatted down on the floor tilting his head. She sighed and turned, knowing spending a few more seconds with him will result in her being naked in his arms.

She took a few steps forward and he pinched her buttock from behind. "Stop," she complained, her cheeks going red with embarrassment. This was the second time he had touched them and he laughed at her action.

"Seems like you want to sleep alone today, Xiran. Should I throw you out of the room?" She threatened with her hands crossed on her chest.

"No no no," he shook his head vehemently.

"Then be a good lad, will you?" She asked with a smirk.

"Yes ma’am," he saluted her with a serious expression.

"Good boy," she patted his head and made her way to her cupboard to grab fresh clothes.

Once Aselia had gone into the washroom to change. Xiran got up and went downstairs. He picked up their clothes from near the swimming pool and extracted their phones. He then went to Rivan’s room.

Xiran hadn’t brought any spare clothes with him. So he grabbed a pair of night trousers from Rivan’s cupboard. Discarding his boxers, he placed all the clothes in a laundry basket.

He then took a hot shower and wore the trouser but no shirt, he headed back to Aselia. She had already changed and was sitting in bed. He noticed she was wearing his white shirt with wings but no bra underneath. Her perky tops were pointing out, inviting him to take them in his mouth and feed on them. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Your phone," he handed the green case phone to her and she gladly took it but placed it aside without checking it. Her luscious eyes were on him, she wanted to say something.

"What is it? Leia," he approached her from the other side and slipped under the blanket with her pulling her closer to his bare chest. Her legs were bare, she placed them on his and faced him.

"Umm, I don’t know how to say this?" Her cheeks had become tomato red and she couldn’t meet his gaze.

He lifted her face with his hand under her chin. "You know you can say anything to me, and I mean anything and I will give it to you in the blink of an eye. So speak freely," he could hear how elevated her heart rate was and her ears and cheeks were crimsoning even more.

She lowered her gaze again before mumbling: "I want you to teach me how to touch you down there, I don’t want you to be left wanting with me and not getting that kind of intimacy. Men desire it and please don’t lie and say you don’t."

Her words baffled him and he was left speechless for a while.
