The Bored Immortal

She would have to wait for her next month\'s quota to receive new ones or gather enough money to buy them.

"N-No need. It will heal on its own," Ayana said in a flustered tone as she speculated the method with which Viktor wanted to heal her.

Viktor frowned, "Are you refusing because you want to use the excuse of being injured and not attend my engagement ceremony? I am hurt."

Ayana immediately denied, "Of course not! I am coming anyway. How could I miss my Master\'s engagement ceremony even if...if it\'s with you."

Viktor slightly smirked and said, "So you plan to limp around during the whole ceremony? What will people think of Nyissa if they see her only disciple in such a poor fashion?"

Ayana\'s heart slowly began to pick up pace as she looked away and felt that what Viktor said did make sense. In her clan, keeping up appearances did matter a lot lest they lose face.

She obviously didn\'t want her Master to face any problems because of her. So she asked timidly, "Okay...b-but how do you plan to heal me?"

Looking at her slightly flushed face and the way her eyelashes were fluttering continuously made her look even more tempting, testing Viktor\'s patience, especially when he could clearly smell the \'fragrance\' of her blood.

Even though blood generally has a metallic smell to humans, for Viktor, it necessarily need not be. It could vary from person to person and also depends on their present mood.

And right now, Ayana\'s blood never seemed more tantalizing than now.

"Of course, I have to bite your neck. Don\'t you watch vampire movies?" Viktor asked as a matter of fact.

Ayana unconsciously touched her neck as she gulped since she was quite nervous about having such a sensitive part getting bitten by a man, especially Viktor.

Still, she said in a skeptical tone, "I don\'t think vampires really heal others by biting their necks only. Master said—"

"Is your Master a vampire? No, right? Then you have to listen to the expert here. Only in your neck is there a special vein that facilitates faster healing and also lets me do the healing part without any complications. If I bite anywhere else...certain complications might arise, like having your blood flow in reverse for a while. It could be dangerous. Do you really want to take the chance?" Viktor asked with a serious look, even if he knew he was bullshitting her about the second half. But as long as she didn\'t know, it would be fine.

Ayana was no doctor or medical expert to know how all these things work. So she thought Viktor, being the \'expert\' he was, was right about these things.

So she took a deep breath and said as she parted her hair towards the side, revealing her slender swan-like neck.

Viktor chuckled, seeing how cutely gullible she was, and wrapped his arm around her cottony waist as he suddenly pulled her closer towards him.

"Ah!" Ayana was startled and said as she tried to remove his arm, "H-Hey, this is not part of the healing process, is it?"

Viktor said in a serious tone, "Of course it is. If you were to jerk or flinch suddenly, I might accidentally hurt you. This is to hold you in place. Now sit still as I would have to moisten your skin first before biting you."

"M-Moisten? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Just like how nurses use an alcohol swab before an injection to prevent any sort of injection, I would have to do the same," Viktor said with an artless expression.

"Oh…" Ayana didn\'t know that a vampire would have to take all these measures for something simple as biting a person\'s neck.

But she shyly nodded, thinking that it was quite important.

Viktor inwardly smiled as he licked the skin of her neck slowly, making Ayana shut her eyes tight and squirm, slightly in his hold, feeling his hot tongue sliding across her neck.

She could feel her skin gradually burning up as if she was catching a fever and wondered why she was getting so stimulated because of his tongue. She unconsciously clutched the ends of her robes as she tried to suppress these strange and funny feelings in her body.

Viktor was enjoying the scent of her blood and was holding in his urges to devour her here and now. If it wasn\'t for the fact that he had painstakingly developed such self-control over the centuries, then smelling such fragrant blood at close proximity could make him go mad.

Viktor finally sunk his fangs into her tender skin, relishing the taste of her blood in his mouth. But he didn\'t suck too much but instead began to heal her.

Ayana\'s breath became hurried as her chest was rising and falling, her eyes getting a bit hazy. Since she had never experienced such an otherworldly experience, this was too much stimulation for her.

She never knew getting bitten by a vampire would feel this...good...or was it because he was using some skill of his?

She always considered it painful to have one\'s neck bitten by a vampire, especially when the people they bit won\'t even survive.

Viktor moved his hand away from her waist and held her neck as he gently continued to bite her, his lips grazing against her soft skin.

"Ahn~" Ayana unconsciously let out a moan as she felt her senses dissolving under this intoxicating pleasure and suddenly placed her hand on her mouth, realizing she let out an embarrassing sound before him.

"Alright, that\'s it," Viktor said as he licked the blood off his lips after doing his thing but wasn\'t surprised to see Ayana\'s intoxicated face as if she was drunk.

"That\'s it?" Ayana unconsciously asked, and seeing Viktor\'s drop-dead handsome face so close, she felt some kind of magnetic attraction towards him, especially his crimson lips that were smeared with her blood.

It just made him look so...hot and felt like Viktor\'s lips were getting closer to her, which had a certain magnetic attraction on her.

Viktor smiled as he decided to tease her by leaning in his face towards her but just as her lips were about to touch his, he suddenly got up and said, "Get ready. Make sure to put on the prettiest dress you have. Wouldn\'t want Nyissa\'s only disciple to get outshined by others, do we?"

With a chuckle, Viktor left while Ayana, who fell on the bed, accidentally got shaken out of her daze and slapped herself as she mumbled when she remembered what she was about to do, "What the hell was I thinking??"
