And benevolence was something lacking nowadays.

At the other side, she found herself in a lugubrious corner of Ireland, in the countryside. The air was damp and bone-deep cold. Very… accurate for the man who lived there. She was in an elegant garden, which surrounded the towering structure of a +

His face looked perfect. Still and lifeless. Disturbingly so. Only when she spoke, his red eyes focused on the creature curled up on his lap.

"Miguel O'hara."

He didn't even fear she could be a fae. After all, those were among his favourite meals.

Maneater stared at his face, her fingers tracing along his jawline as if trying to memorize every detail of it. After all, to her, he was someone who had helped her— and even kindly let her drink his blood.

By the time she was done licking the wound clean, his skin healed itself and not a single scar remained.

The vampire groaned a little but allowed her to sit there, not even looking away from the book.

The vampire couldn't contain a wicked smile.

📲 - Good morning to you as well, Gwendolyne.

📲 - I simply thought it was fair for all of us to be on the same page.

📲 - Fortunately, my machinations do not involve any of you aside from my variant and Miss Hardy.

📲 - No need to worry, dear.

Caelina drank his blood while glancing up at his face, as if curious about something, but chose not to ask.

She pulled her lips away from his arm, then ran her long tongue over the blood around the wound before casually getting up to sit on his lap.

And as strange as his behaviour may seem, he resumed reading his book as though he couldn't feel the piercing pain of her bite.

He was even careful not to let his darkened blood drip on the expensive-looking armchair.

She looked up at him as if seeing something strange — normally, no one was ever willing to let her bite.

Caelina lowered her gaze to his arm and sank her teeth in without holding back. She wasn’t a vampire, but she did enjoy the taste of flesh and blood.
