Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Kira already consumed a plenty amount of Marceline's blood but he continued sucking her neck. However, this time he withdrew his fangs that were buried on her flesh, his palm continued toying with her breast.

Kira's tongue licked the remaining drop of blood on the surface of her flesh. With his continued stimulation, another soft moan escaped Marceline's mouth.

She was aware that Kira already had his fill, but Marceline didn't say a word. Part of her didn't want him to stop so she anchored her arms around him, pulling him closer to her body.

After a while, Kira moved from her neck down to her chest, his lips trailing gentle kisses on her skin. Before she knew it, her dress was pulled down to her waist. Then Kira's mouth found her pinkish nipple. He began sucking it hard as if he was milking her.

Marceline bit her lower lip to suppress her moan. For goodness' sake, they were still in the office! It seemed like Kira was punishing her right now for ignoring him the whole morning.

He was aggressively devouring her as he gripped her body tightly. He was not allowing her to escape. He lost his control thinking that Marceline would never allow him to touch her again because of the revelation she learned last night.

For some unknown reason, Kira was also having a hard time, letting her go. He was not certain if he could reciprocate her affection towards him. But one thing was for sure– he didn't want to lose her.

Damn! His mind was put in a great mess ever since he learned that Selene loved him for real. But he couldn't deny the fact that he had a strong physical attraction for Marceline.

His heart might not have completely forgotten Selene yet. But another woman was slowly opening his heart again. And it was Marceline.

Realizing that Kira was a little bit distracted, Marceline held his face, making him look at her. Her action interrupted Kira and stopped him from his advances so he pouted his lips while gazing at her.

"I guess I'm done feeding you… you may leave now…" Marceline said, fixing her clothes.

'Damn you, Marceline Celeste! For being weak!' She scolded herself inwardly for giving in to her desire. She shouldn't have done that. What happened to her pride?

She knew Kira was still thinking about his first love. So it was unfair to her that she was letting him do what he wanted. As much as possible, she should avoid getting intimate with him, especially now that Kira wasn't sure about his real feelings towards him.

'What is the real score between us? Are we only bound by our contract?' Marceline took a deep sigh before pushing him away from her.

She wanted to create a distance between them. Getting closer to him like this was very dangerous. She might lose her self-control and give in to her lust.

Kira was hurt seeing the sharp gaze she was giving him. It was like a dagger hitting his heart. He could tell that Marceline was still upset with him.

"We should set our boundaries that we shouldn't cross! From now on, we should refrain from doing these things…" Marceline tried her best to look calm and unaffected by saying those words.

If Kira was still in love with another woman, then Marceline should protect her heart first. She couldn't afford to be a rebound or just an option. He wanted Kira's heart as a whole! This was also one way of loving and respecting her own self.

Meanwhile, Kira stood frozen in front of her. He didn't know what to say after hearing Marceline's proposition.

'What? Setting boundaries between us? Is she telling me not to touch her and do intimate things with her?' Kira's heart clenched at those thoughts. He wanted to object but Marceline's expression was already cold. She was firm when it came to her decision.

Kira opened his mouth to say something, only to close it again. He was respecting her decision. He had no right to force her into something that would only bring her pain.

'I guess… this is the only thing I can do for her… for now. I have to sort things first about my feelings and my past.'

In the end, Kira stepped back, giving Marceline the space she needed. He wiped the bloodstain on the corner of his lips before he turned around to leave.

Marceline just watched his back until he vanished from her sight.

Bam!

The closing of the door was her cue to finally let her tears fall. She was in pain knowing that Kira was still in love with his ex. She slumped her body back to her executive chair and closed her eyes.

She even clutched her chest as her heart constricted inside her. Now, she started to regret telling Kira those words. Boundaries?! How long could she stand not crossing that boundary?

"You've become a fool, Marceline…"

She felt suffocated inside. She needed a release for those negative feelings. So she decided to call her friend, Lyca.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Lyca just finished her one-on-one consultation with her patient when she answered Marceline's call.

"My dearest Celeste! What's up?" Lyca's cheerful voice was heard from the other line.

"Are you free tonight? Let's hang out!" Marceline invited her directly.

Lyca was silent for a moment, wondering why Marceline didn't sound okay. From her voice alone, she could tell that Marceline was troubled by something.

"Yes, of course, I'm free!" She lied.

She was supposed to meet Dylan tonight. But because Marceline invited her, Lyca had decided to postpone her dinner date with Dylan.

"Alright. Then let's meet at 7:00 pm in the Pub."

"Wait! Are you bringing your husband with you?" Lyca wanted to make sure. Because if Marceline would bring Kira, she would ask Dylan to tag along with them.

"No! Just the two of us!" Marceline promptly responded.

Lyca frowned as she noticed Marceline's strange reaction after mentioning Kira. 'Hmm, Did the couple fight?'
