Chapter 24: Sweet Crimson
*Percival*
My fangs slid into Mika’s neck slowly, and the way her body tensed, the spark of fear in the air, had me completely ravenous. Sweet, warm crimson flowed into my mouth and down my throat, revitalizing me. A low, rumbling growl emitted from my chest as I drank, something I simply couldn’t help. This caused my prey to shudder in my arms, and my lust to skyrocket. Not the time right now, but it didn’t help that I could scent hers as well.
My strength began to return to me as I drank. Her blood was potent, and I feared I’d need more in the future. The ability to resist would be much more difficult now. Still, I could enjoy the moment of the woman resting gently in my arms as I drew in her life. After I had my fill, I felt her body relax in my arms entirely. She must have passed out, as her breathing slowed as well. Reginald would need to restore her blood with his magic, something we’d take care of at the manor.
