Silver woke up to find himself in bed. His head was pounding and keeping his eyes open seemed to be a herculean task. The room was dark, with only faint light creeping inside from the side of the drawn curtain, indicating it was somewhere in the noon or afternoon.

He could sense he was butt naked underneath the blanket that covered him. A stinging pain erupted in his neck and his hand went there to find that the wound had been bandaged. He tried to sit up in bed, his hand resting on his throbbing temple.

"Keep lying down for a while, you had been injected with quite a dosage of drugging material. You are safe now," Rubisha had just entered through the door holding a mug of coffee. She had a starry night dress on.

His head swivelled to her and Silver realised he was in her bed. That meant she brought him here and most probably bandaged him and saw him completely naked too. Not that he cared but still, he didn’t want to be vulnerable like that.

"How long was I out?" he questioned her with a stern expression.

"14 hours. We brought in our doctor and he inspected your wounds and tended to your injuries. You have a strong healing process compared to normal humans, so he said you weren’t in danger. We have stationed guards outside my condo and the building. No one can get to you," she sat down near him. A sense of relief had washed over Rubisha seeing him awake. She offered him her coffee but he shook his head.

"So did everyone see what I am," Silver reluctantly asked, his eyes had that seriousness about them.

"No, I ensured only Kili, the doctor and I saw you in your hound state. We covered you and brought you here through the backdoor. Don’t worry your secret is safe with us," Rubisha tried to give him a reassuring smile.

"And my stuff?"

"I collected those too, your phone and weapons are with me," she answered taking a sip of her coffee. Her eyes lingered on his carved chest and she wanted to lick those abs.

"Thank you," he deeply sighed and Rubisha couldn’t believe her ears.

"Did you just thank me? Mighty Silver just thanked me," she chuckled getting up and he couldn’t help but grin before saying:

"It was the first and the last time, don’t make it a habit of hearing this from me."

"I will get you some soup I made and then we can further discuss this," Rubisha returned to the kitchen while Silver took off the blanket and headed for the bathroom to wash his face and inspect the damage that had been done to his body.

The moment Rubisha returned with his soup bowl was exactly the moment Silver exited the bathroom. She was standing in the doorway and saw him standing outside the bathroom without anything on. Her whole face went scarlet like a bloomed red rose and a shrill sound escaped her. Rubisha almost dropped the soup bowl as she turned her face away from him.

"What the hell? Can’t you cover yourself," she yelled feeling embarrassed.

"Why? Haven’t you already seen me naked? Why are you acting like it’s the first time you are seeing a guy without clothes?" he casually asked and sauntered over to the bed and wrapped the blanket around himself for her sake.

"I haven’t. You were in your hound form when we brought you here and covered you with a blanket. And yes I have seen guys without clothes but for different reasons," she was rooted to her spot facing away from him. She couldn’t believe how huge he was. That was now etched in her brain and even thinking about was pooling desires in her body.

"What other reasons?" he asked in a teasing tone while approaching her and stopping a few inches away. He took the bowl from her hands and smiled devilishly.

"You know for intimate reasons," she breathed out feeling him in her proximity. She slightly turned her head and he was watching her.

"You mean for s£x," he nonchalantly asked and she stupidly nodded. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Does that means you have no similar intentions for me?" he took a spoonful and slowly began to sip on the soup and Rubisha couldn’t help but feel frustrated at his questions. He was teasing her and there was no right answer to this but his heart rate was elevated and Rubisha knew he was excited too.

"Finish your soup, Mr Silver," her breathing was erratic all she wanted to do was jump on him and wrap her legs around his tapered waist. Her eyes unknowingly went down to his midsection.

Seeing her eyes wandering over his body again Silver dropped the blanket he had draped around his lower body.

"If you want to ogle Lassie, don’t you think it’s more fun to do it whole than in parts?" he smirked at her and placed the soup bowl on the nearby table.

Rubisha forgot to breathe at his sudden action and tried to take a step back from him in embarrassment but he caught her wrist and pulled her closer and their bodies collided.

"Ahh!" she almost moaned, he was warm and all muscles. Silver held her by her waist as her hand landed on his abs and snaked all the way up to his chest and neck.

Where one side was bandaged but the other was solid under her touch, slowly she lifted her orbs to stare into his sky-blue ones and they were even more mesmerizing up close. They had hints of grey in them and she could feel herself staring at a deep ocean with stormy clouds on the horizon. Rubisha was lost in whatever sorcery he possessed for he had bewitched her. She didn’t want to look away and her lips slightly parted as she glazed them with her tongue.

"I don’t usually let vampires touch me but since you saved my life, I am feeling generous," his ardent voice broke whatever shackle was restraining her. Her grip on his neck tightened a notch and leaning closer she claimed his lips and closed her eyes. She wanted this experience to be perfect.
