Dimensional Descent

2047 Mini Vacation

Leonel suddenly kissed Aina, catching her off guard. She hadn't been prepared for this sudden change as she was still worried about Leonel and if he was doing okay, so she was far too stunned even to fight back.

Eventually, she regained her bearings and bit at Leonel's lips.

"Ow, ow. What are you doing to your husband?" Leonel pouted.

"There are people watching, behave yourself!" Aina chided. Even so, she couldn't help but lick her lips. The taste of Leonel's blood was truly great, if it wasn't because she felt that it was too weird to ask, she would take a taste more often.

Leonel, though, had noticed the subtle, seductive action. He didn't know why, but watching Aina lick at his blood like that made a fire light within him. It was as though some repressed fantasies about being with a vampire empress were all resurfacing at once.

"What are you looking at?" Aina asked to hide her embarrassment.

"Lick your lips again, slower this time, I really want to imprint it into my memories. Take another bite out of my lip if you have to."

Aina was stunned speechless before she hit Leonel on the chest. "Be serious!"

"I am deadly serious! Come, come, take another bite."

"I'm ignoring you," Aina stood in a huff, dropping Leonel to the ground, but when she turned back, her lips couldn't help but bloom into a bright smile. If Leonel was willing to joke around like this, he was at least feeling better for now.
