CHAPTER 96

Zion could hear hasty footsteps behind him but he didn't need to take a loot to know who it was, her exotic scent invaded his nostrils which made him confused, but still he refused to come to a halt as he was aware that she was coming after him, the girl was just too stubborn and didn't take no for an answer.

He had thought she would give up and give it a rest after his negative reply the other day, but still, she had refused to let go. He figured it was the mating bond at work, but he realised it was also in her personality as she was naturally stubborn and seemingly lewd.

He was trying to walk as fast as possible to his room, so that he could slam the door in her face before she could get to him, he was already at the entrance of his room and he was about to open the door before her long arms slammed it shut with a mischievous grin on her face as she peered her blue eyes at him.

"Going somewhere?" She drawled as she laid her back lazily on the door with arms crossed preventing him from going through.

Luckily for him, her gorgeous long legs weren't exposed as she wasn't wearing a mini skirt but a black combat trouser over black boots, with her outfit and the mischievous grin on her face, she seemed like a gangster picking on a harmless guy that was obviously twice her size and height.

"Can you please move, Anne?" His voice was calm but the undying frustration coated it.

Her name rolling off his tongue made her skin tingle and she wondered how she'd feel if he was touching her or filling her insides.

"It's so obvious you're avoiding me and I'm not gonna move until I find out why!" She said with a firm voice, determination written on her face to know. It wasn't surprising she knew, they were breed mates after all and it was too obvious that he was avoiding her.

He sighed in exasperation, there was no way he would tell her, she could tell Larisa which would naturally lead it's way to Lothaire's knowledge, it was a risk he wasn't willing to take. Lothaire finding out about Avian's devious schemes would mean the end of them all and since it would benefit neither of them, she was sure to try to prevent it.

"I could easily make you move, you're aware, right?" His voice deepened, making it sound more menacing than his usual cheery voice, he was determined to keep his resolve strong, he couldn't let her tempt him to break his strong resolve, he had to keep his walls standing strong if he wanted to prevent either of them from getting hurt.

For a slight moment, she flinched at his sudden dark change which she wasn't expecting, but she immediately composed herself and stood strong on her ground.

"Yeah you're right but then you'll have to touch me which I'm pretty sure you've been avoiding cause you might be unable to take your hands off me." Anne said in a lustful tone as her blue eyes glinted with salacious desires swirling into them.

Zion's hands trembled a bit on hearing her which he reflexively tightened into a fist, his jaws clenched in frustration because she was right, he couldn't trust himself that his carnal desires wouldn't control him if he were to touch her for one second.

He saw her move closer to him but his feet stood firmly to the ground until their bodies were brushing slightly against each other. He could feel the heat emanating from her body with arousal which made his feet move back reflexively till his back hit the wall.

"Don't worry, the feeling is mutual so why don't we get to it already or you like playing hard to get?" She asked with a slight chuckle as she placed her hands on his sides, trapping him between herself and the wall, but she failed to realise she was small compared to his huge figure and he could easily push her aside, but he didn't and instead just kept watching her, their eyes locked but he immediately looked away.

He felt his body heating up already but he had to force himself to keep calm and composed, his resolve couldn't crumble down now, it would have been all a waste.

He took hold of both her arms effortlessly, his grip on her was loose enough not to hurt her but tight enough to prevent her from escaping from it.

"It's no use trying to seduce me, I'll advise you to stop..." He had barely completed his sentence when Anne pushed herself up standing on her toes and suddenly pushed her lips into his which made his body go weak with an all consuming desire to have her.

His hold on her loosened, making her arm fall to the side but she immediately wound it round his broad shoulders, pushing her lips firmly into his, stroking against his soft lips with hers.

Zion wanted to pull away, his subconsciousness rang warning bells in his head, but he shifted it at the back of his head, it was just a kiss, he would only kiss her this once, he thought inwardly as he wrapped his arms around her small waist, pushing his hard body into hers until her back was hitting the wall. He felt his budge grow bigger with every second as their lips smacked against each other.

Her lips were so soft and luscious, they tasted delicious and he found himself not wanting to stop, he found himself yearning for more of her, to taste her more as his body burned with an insatiable thirst to have her. He felt her fingers dig into his silver hair he had let down and he loved every sensation she made him feel, but his subconsciousness constantly rang in his head to stop before he lost control, but he was fast losing control, he was fast losing his rational thinking, her touch made him forget everything else but her.

His hands slipped under her black crop top she wore, he didn't care he was taking it far, he didn't care that he wanted to go all the way with her, all he could think about was her exotic scent that filled his mind, her body that made him flame up and her addictive touch, that he didn't want to care anymore, he only wanted to be with her and for a minute, he thought about running away with her.

He slipped one arm underneath her dress, feeling her soft supple skin beneath the dress, his hands roamed about, gently massaging on her skin which released a soft moan from her lips as she ached between her legs to feel him there, she wanted him and her blood boiled in impatience.

His face fell on her neck, planting butterfly kisses on her neck and he could smell her warm blood flowing through her veins underneath her flesh that made his canines elongate with hunger, his throat scorched with insatiable hunger to taste her blood, the tip of his sharp fangs pierced her skin.

"Ouch!" She flinched back startled at the unexpected sting on her neck, she wasn't expecting Zion to bite her out of the blue but she wasn't scared.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Zion said as he immediately pulled from her, standing a good distance from her as he didn't want to lose control to prevent sucking her dry as his throat was already feeling parched from blood thirsty hunger.

"It's fine, I was just startled but you can drink from me if you want to." Anne said with a soft voice.

"No!" Came his immediate response. He was afraid he would lose control if he tasted her blood, but truth be told, he was struck with maddening hunger he felt his throat burn badly and only her blood could quench it, but his vampire instincts told him he would suck her dry, so he'd rather stay beware from her blood.

"Why? It's fine." She said immediately but he shook his head in negation, avoiding her gaze he walked towards his room, about to open the door in silence until he felt her small hands on his.

"I might kill you if I drink from you, I'm very hungry right now, it's best if you stay away." He said with a hoarse voice between gritted teeth, his hands trembled in hunger and his grip on the door knob tightened till it broke, leaving Anne a bit wide eyed, seeing how hungry he was and she instinctively let go.

She watched him as he disappeared into his room, but she didn't leave until she heard him ring the handbell inside his room requesting for a maid. She was about to walk away when she saw a maid walk into his room, she was already at the end of the corridor when she heard a short cry of pain coming from his room but it immediately stopped as quickly as it came.

The room fell silent and she felt her blood curdle knowing he had either drank the maid dry or to unconscious, but her instincts told her the maid was dead.
