Compared to the outside, I was more stunned by the inside and It wasn't because of the exquisite interior design or decor of the place, but the activities that went on inside the place, the inn to be precise.
This was no inn, it was...
I felt my cheek burning up as my gaze fell on the man and woman who seemed engrossed in their intimacy. The man's head was buried in the nape of the woman's neck, holding her by the waist while the woman wrapped her arms around his waist. As if feeling my gaze on them, the man turned in our direction. My breath hitched and my body immediately went stiff, upon seeing his bloodshot eyes and elongated fangs that dripped with blood. I watched as the man dabbed his tongue over his lips to lick the blood, trickling down the corner.
"Breath girl, you might pass out," I flinched, when Cardan whispered into my ears, letting his warm breath fan against my ear before pulling back.
"This is just a tip of the iceberg, don't look so stunned already," he turned on his heels and began to walk futher into the inn. Once again, my gaze travels across different directions, the place was crowded with both men and women, some naked or otherwise and most of them engaged in one form of intimate pleasure or the other.
I quickly retracted my gaze when it fell on the duo having sex at the corner, sinking their fangs into each other without a care of those around them. 'This is just too much,' I said inwardly, going after Cardan who had now climbed up the stairs. I quickly caught up with him and he took me to the room at the end of the hallway.
Thankfully, it was just the two of us and no one else inside the room. Still, adrenaline course through my veins. My heart beat tremendously in an incredibly fast pace and sweat trickled down my back due to anticipation of what was to come. 'Why did Cardan bring me to this place?' I couldn't help but pondered, glancing around the room again, which had red lights that made the room slightly dim yet it didn't stop me from seeing the paintings of naked women hanging on the wall.
Not long after, two girls walked into the room. I quickly took in their appearance. They both had similar style. One with golden blond hair and the other with jet black hair both styled neatly in a bun. They both wore black lace lingeries that left nothing to the imagination. They were both beautiful even with the light makeup and shiny red lipstick that was smeared over their lips. As they walked towards us, they both wore seductive smiles on their faces.
"Greetings your majesty," they voiced out in sync causing my gaze to widened in surprise. Was he a king of some sort? He was also address the same way by those guards before and when we toured the palace. My mind momentarily wandered off before coming back to the women who took their places, sitting on both sides of Cardan, one by his right, the other by his left.
"Your majesty, who's your guest?" asked the one with black hair, taking her gaze from Cardan to me. Her curious gaze lingers on me for a spilt second then returned to Cardan when he spoke.
"Oh, that's sweet Leilani, she's human just like you," Cardan retorted with his usual sweet but creepy as hell smile. "Leilani, this is Maddie," he added pointing at the black-haired one then the blond-haired one "and this is Sandy."
"Th... they're also human's," I was gobsmacked by the new piece of information after all, I thought this place only had vampires and werewolves inhabitants.
"You'd be surprised, by the number of humans that recides in crescent-valley but that's a story for another day. Sandy, Maddie, I brought sweet little Lani here to learn a few tricks."
Cardan eyes held mine as he spoke, his right hand slowly circles around Sandy's neck and I saw his eyes turn red and his fangs elongates before he sank it into her neck.
"Oh my... The words escapes my lips in a gasp and as my breath caught up in my lungs, my eyes grew as wide as a saucer. It took a second to recover from the initial shock and I felt my heart racing fast and hard against my chest.
Cardan only took few seconds before pulling away from Sandy. he slowly licked her neck, before licking his lips. All the while his eyes remained glued to mine.
Cardan flashes me a sweet smile when he was done and I immediately recover from my trance, closing my mouth then wiping the drool that had slipped out with the back of my palm. I was to stunned at the moment to even feel embarrassed about the drool. I know I saw a man sucking a woman's blood earlier and I was fazed. But right now, i can't even explain the feeling... it was much more overwheming maybe because they were just a few inches away from me.
'Some one pinch me' I need to know if what I'm seeing is real... I ... I, Oh my goodness!
I need more than pinching right now. I need a punch, a hard punch to pull me out of whatever nightmare or what ever universe I've entered.
"Sweet Lani, breath, breath," Cardan voice came with a hint of amusement bringing my attention to him again. The look on his face says it all, he was enjoying this_ my displeasure as well as my astonishment and I couldn't even blame him because he warned me, not once but I still choose him anyway. Deep down I don't even regret it, regardless of what he had in store for me. My instincts tells me I'd have suffered a lot worse if I went back with those men. Still I couldn't help but fear Cardan, maybe because his was a vampire. But I feel like even though he was human I'd still feared him.
"You need to focus, soon you'll become my concubine, you should know how to please me" Cardan was twirling a strand of Maddie's black hair in between his finger as he spoke.
