Aftereffects Of The Marking Ceremony

A whole new world seemed to have opened for Cassandra as Siroos marked her. His existence seemed to have seeped into the very crevices of her brain where he didn't exist before. 

Every pore of her skin was infused with his lush scent of sage and sand. 

Every nerve fibre was hyper-aware of his touch. 

Every emotion seemed to have been heightened for her. 

Jealousy 

Anger 

Embarrassment 

Affection

Feelings 

Siroos extracted his fangs and placed his lips on the bleeding skin, stopping the blood flow. 

The world melted away leaving him and his tender lips only as Cassandra drew in sharp breaths, her chest heaved so loudly as if her heart would burst out.
