Chapter 423 - Four Hundred And Twenty-three: Go All Night (1/2)
Reina's point of view:
By the time I was done settling with Isabella, it was eleven in the night and I went back into our bedroom only to see Niklaus by the window side, glancing outside with a glass of drink in his hand - probably whisky. He always does that when he needed to think.
I sighed, he still wasn't okay with me leaving tomorrow and had just conceded because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. The fact he respected my choice warmed my heart and I walked over to Niklaus, hugging him from behind.
”You're not okay,” I murmured, resting my head on his back with my nose rubbing him affectionately.
”I'm trying to be,” Was his honest answer. He was trying hard for my sake and I couldn't help but wonder if I was being selfish here.
No, I must go. Even without Angela being my mother, Miguel had not only insulted but threatened the Sakuzi clan by sending those assassins after me. We had to treat his case and as the daughter of Sakuzi, it was expected of me to contribute to this war. This was what I've been training for most of my life as Reina anyway - help my family.
”I promise you,” I kissed him on the back through his clothing, his muscular scent wafting into my nose, ”I would come back safely,”
”I'll hold you to that,” He lifted his glass as if toasting to that promise, and a small smile lit my face.
As I hugged him together, his warmth seeped into my body and it hit me that this was our last night before I left tomorrow. Why don't we make good use of it?
Then I slipped my hand into his polo, my hands blindly tracing his taut stomach, and felt him shiver.
”Reina?” There was a warning edge to his voice while his grasp on the glass tightened - his control was resting on a single strand close to snapping.
But I ignored his warning, rather I stood on my tiptoes so I could reach his neck, and began to kiss there while my hands explored his muscles inside his shirt.
”Our honeymoon was cut off abruptly, mind if we finish it up tonight?” I purred into the skin on his neck, feeling the pulse on his throat. The way the vein there throbbed was so enticing that I understood why vampires were so attracted to the neck.
”Gladly,” Niklaus growled and to my horror flung the glass in his hand out through the window and spun me around with a momentum that knocked the breath out of my lungs.
Before I could even comment on that careless faction, his hot mouth enveloped my lips. The kiss was devouring and didn't give me space to recover because he was sucking hard on my tongue. I moaned as his hand moved to press me closer while the other caressed my breast.
Niklaus didn't just kiss me, he drained me; his tongue lashing at mine while I clung to him, senses reeling. By the time we came up for air, my chest was heaving as if I had a deviated sternum.
”Why did you throw that out there?” I spoke up when I finally found my voice
”It seemed the faster alternative than finding somewhere else to place the cup on. I couldn't wait any minute to kiss you,” He said, his eyes gleaming with excitement
”Still, you could have hurt someone?” I had to address the issue else he repeats it or worse, his son picks on the behavior - Allen copies everything his father Niklaus does. Like father like son.
