"Violet.. Please don't do this. Don't say that." He let go of my waist and took a step back. "I won't be able to hold back my hunger.. I don't want to hurt you."
"It's okay even if you hurt me. It's just a bite, and besides, I can always heal myself." I smiled at him.
He didn't looked surprised like what I expected him to be. "You.. You're really a healer?"
"You know?"
"I was still having my doubts. You healed me one time, eight years ago, remember?"
Ah, back then, it was my first time healing someone. So he remembers..
"If you already know then you don't have to worry about a thing." I reached out my hand to him. "I accepted everything about you so it's obvious that I will accept this part of you."
I can see the hesitation in his eyes. "But Violet.. Are you sure you want this?"
"I want to help you."
He was there with me during my hardest times, that's why I want to be there for him in times he needs someone to hold on.
Seeing the determination in my eyes, he finally held my hand. "Then.. Can I have some of you right now?"
I didn't expected that he'll want a taste of me right now. Is he that hungry? He must be holding his hunger, right?
I realized that he didn't touched much of the dinner earlier, except for the steak. Other than steak, veggies and fruits, he left them untouched.
"Okay."
He took a step closer to me. "It will hurt a lot."
"I have high pain tolerance." At least I did have a high pain tolerance in my past life.
I'm still nervous tho, I don't like being in pain.
"I will just drink some of your blood then.. If I ate your flesh, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle that much pain even if you have a high tolerance." He stroked my cheek gently with his thumb.
I chuckled a bit. "Okay, if that's what you want."
I won't force him to eat a flesh of mine since I know it would hurt a lot.
"Will it satisfy your hunger?" I asked as I raised my head and looked at him in the eyes.
"Yes. At least I won't have to go out tonight and hunt some animal, right?" He smiled.
"It will be dangerous if someone caught you, you know."
"I'm always careful."
I pouted. "You will never know what will happen." The MC was able to caught him eating after all.
A horrible thought suddenly came in my mind. Because of my too much concern for Luke.. I might one day kill for him since I know I won't be able to satisfy him alone. If he ask for more.. Will I start hunting humans?
I shuddered at that horrible thought. No. I will not be a killer. I am a doctor, I save lives not take them away.
I was corned against the door, Luke's height made him look intimidating. The light that reflected his blue eyes were making him look sexy, especially with the way he looked at me right now..
Ah.. His eye color changed. This is the real eye color of Luke.. Red.
The horns on his forehead grew and it was longer than back then.
Hm, this will be my second time seeing Luke's ogre form. I really think that he looks extra handsome and sexy in this form even when I was playing the game and saw this form, I couldn't help but admire his handsome features.
I heard Luke locking the door behind me. "Just to make sure no one will try to catch us."
I nodded. "I will try my best not to be loud."
"Violet, I will take off your sweater."
I just gave him another nod.
I raised my hands and he pulled up my sweater.
The quiet atmosphere in the room made me nervous, I was going to be bitten! Will it be very painful?
Are you an idiot Yiren? Of course it will be!
"Are you sure about this?" His deep voice sounded near my ear.
I didn't dare turn my head to the side because I might accidentally stare at Luke's handsome face.
I nodded my head firmly, without hesitation. Despite being nervous right now, I will stick to my decision to help Luke.
He slid down the cloth covering my left shoulder, before he leaned down and place a soft kiss on the spot he was going to bite.
I felt the sparks upon feeling the contact of his lips. I wanted to pull away but my body won't move. This is good, it's okay, I need to be brave.
I felt a wet and warm sensation on my shoulder. He was licking the spot.
"Brother." I breathed out as a whisper.
"Don't worry, my saliva will help lessen the pain."
Ahh.. I'm being drawn to his deep voice.. Right now, why does it sounded sexy?
When he continued licking and sucking the spot, I bit my lower lip. This feeling.. Why does it feels good?
I closed my eyes and leaned against the door, using it to support my back.
I placed my hand on his chest as I felt the spot he was licking and sucking burning, it was making my body melt.
"Luke.."
He stopped. "Is this your.. sweet spot?"
W.. Wait.. The sound that came out of my mouth was embarrassing..
I felt my face burning, I want to hide. Did I just moaned?!!
No! No! Luke is my brother! I can't moan for him!
I felt him place his hand on my waist. "Call my name again, Violet."
I shook my head. He's just going to tease me.
I clenched his shirt upon feeling his soft and warm tongue on that spot again, that same sensation started taking over my body.
I bit my lower lip, I tried suppressing the urge to make that satisfied sound I just made earlier.
"Please.." I breathed out.
..Is this really necessary? But it is to lessen the pain of his bite, right?
"My name." His voice was hypnotizing me.
"Luke.." I finally let out that embarrassing sound, I couldn't hold it anymore, the spot where he was going to bite just feel amazing.
But that pleasure suddenly turned into pain when I felt his teeth sunk in my flesh.
I was surprised, I was about to shout in pain when Luke's hand covered my mouth.
"MMm!" It's too painful!
Luke is a liar!
... But what if it was supposed to be more painful than this?
I felt my tears flow down my cheeks because of the pain as he drinks my blood.
His hand that was on my mouth moved and wiped away my tears.
I didn't know how long it was but the pain on my shoulder started to become less as he continued drinking from it.
My body became weak that I feel like falling but thanks to his hold, I remained still in this same position. I feel so tired.
I was about to close my eyes when I suddenly felt a stinging pain when he licked the wound. I guess he's done drinking?
He finally leaned away and looked at me in guilt. "I'm sorry."
I smiled and shook my head. "I chose this."
I placed my hand on my shoulder and a light appeared on it as I used "Heal"
After that, Luke slid up the cloth back to my shoulder before he carried me up in his arms. I didn't mind it, I feel so tired and dizzy because of the blood loss.
I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes until I felt that he placed me on his soft bed.
"Thank you, Violet." The blanket was placed on me before I felt his soft lips on my forehead.
"Good night, brother.."
----
When I opened my eyes, I knew that I was inside a dream since right before me was a field of red tulips and in the middle of that field was a big tree.
It's like the typical movie scene..
"Do you like it?"
I turned and saw a tall man standing beside me. His face was blurry and his hair, I couldn't describe it. The hair color just won't pop up in my mind!
But I felt safe with this man, I felt that this man was someone I cherished.
I nodded my head and smiled. "It's not 'like', it's 'love' actually. I love this place."
Yes, since tulips were my favorite flower. Tulips are found in different colors and there are different meaning associated with each color of tulip. For example the white tulip stands for purity and innocence. Forgiveness is also one of the meanings of a white tulip. Secondly, the purple tulip stands for royalty. You must be aware that the purple color in any form is always associated with royalty. On the other hand, cheerfulness, brightness, radiance, etc. are some of the yellow tulip meanings. However, one of the most attractive and loved among all different colored tulips is the red tulip.
Similar to the red rose, the red tulips is associated with love. Therefore, red tulips meaning include eternal love, undying love, perfect love, true love, etc. There is a very interesting legend which is perhaps responsible for making red tulip a symbol of love.
He held my hand and I held his back, we started heading towards the big tree.
"Do you know what red tulips mean?" He asked.
I nodded, when it comes to flowers, I'm more interested in them than herbs. "They mean 'Perfect Love'."
The most common meaning for tulips is perfect or deep love.
Because tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, they can also mean rebirth.
"Do you know the story behind the red tulip?"
There was a picnic blanket placed under the tree when we reached it that's why we sat down there.
"Tell me." I actually know the story behind the red tulip but I wanted to hear it from him.
"There was once a young prince called Farhad. One day, he saw a beautiful young princess named Shirin. The prince was besotted with her. The princess and the prince loved each other. However, before their wedding, he received news of her death. In his grief, he killed himself to be with her and red tulips grew in the place where drops of his blood fell. The ground became the witness of their love for each other and red tulips became the symbol of their undying love"
He has the same version of story as I have in mind.
"Just like that prince, I will die for you after I made sure anyone who tries to hurt you will be eradicated from this world, I will protect you at all cost, Violet--no, it's Yiren, right?"
H-he knows who I am? How?!
"How did you.. know? "
I heard a chuckle from him, oh how I wish I can see his face.
"For now, I will keep this a secret from you. Nothing escapes my ears you know."
I pouted. "That's not fair. I'm really curious about how you learned my real identity."
"So Yiren is your real identity?" He sounded surprised.
Uh-oh.. he doesn't know?! How schemy!
"Your words tricked me!"
"It did? I just mentioned the name you use when you disguise yourself as a commoner tho. I never said it was your real identity."
I glared at him as I crossed my arms.
"So tell me, why is 'Yiren' your real identity?"
I feel that I can trust him with anything. I can tell him, right?
"I came from another world.. And I think I was reincarnated to this world. When I came to this world, I can remember everything from my previous life. Zhou Yiren, that was my name. I worked as a doctor in my previous life, that's why I think that's where my healing ability came from."
"I see, no wonder your eyes are filled with knowledge when I first saw you. It was not the eyes of a normal girl."
I turned to him. "Where did we met? Who are you?"
He held my hand. "I'm afraid I can't tell you yet, my love.. But you know me."
I pouted but I suddenly felt something soft like marshmallow on my lips.
He just kissed me.. HE JUST KISSED ME! MY FIRST KISS WAS STOLEN!
"I am always tempted to kiss you whenever you pout so please don't pout in front of me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back if you keep on pouting adorably."
I can feel my cheek heating up, my heart was racing so fast and there was a warm feeling growing inside me. This guy.. I have always love him..
When it hit me, I feet like exploding. I love this guy?! But I don't know him!
"Your blushing face is so cute, it makes me want to tease you more, Yiren."
He called me 'Yiren'... that's my real name but why does it sound so beautiful when he said it?
"Say it again." I said as I leaned to him, eager to hear him call my name again.
He placed his hand on my cheek, I don't know why and how but I feel him smile.
"Yiren."
"Again."
"Yiren."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Violet.. Please don't do this. Don't say that." He let go of my waist and took a step back. "I won't be able to hold back my hunger.. I don't want to hurt you."
"It's okay even if you hurt me. It's just a bite, and besides, I can always heal myself." I smiled at him.

I didn't expected that he'll want a taste of me right now. Is he that hungry? He must be holding his hunger, right?
I realized that he didn't touched much of the dinner earlier, except for the steak. Other than steak, veggies and fruits, he left them untouched.
"Okay."
He took a step closer to me. "It will hurt a lot."
"I have high pain tolerance." At least I did have a high pain tolerance in my past life.
I'm still nervous tho, I don't like being in pain.

"Will it satisfy your hunger?" I asked as I raised my head and looked at him in the eyes.
"Yes. At least I won't have to go out tonight and hunt some animal, right?" He smiled.
"It will be dangerous if someone caught you, you know."
"I'm always careful."
I pouted. "You will never know what will happen." The MC was able to caught him eating after all.

You must be aware that the purple color in any form is always associated with royalty. On the other hand, cheerfulness, brightness, radiance, etc. are some of the yellow tulip meanings. However, one of the most attractive and loved among all different colored tulips is the red tulip. Similar to the red rose, the red tulips is associated with love. Therefore, red tulips meaning include eternal love, undying love, perfect love, true love, etc. There is a very interesting legend which is perhaps responsible for making red tulip a symbol of love. He held my hand and I held his back, we started heading towards the big tree. "Do you know what red tulips mean?" He asked. I nodded, when it comes to flowers, I'm more interested in them than herbs. "They mean 'Perfect Love'." The most common meaning for tulips is perfect or deep love. Because tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, they can also mean rebirth. "Do you know the story behind the red tulip?" There was a picnic blanket placed under the tree when we reached it that's why we sat down there. "Tell me." I actually know the story behind the red tulip but I wanted to hear it from him. "There was once a young prince called Farhad. One day, he saw a beautiful young princess named Shirin. The prince was besotted with her. The princess and the prince loved each other. However, before their wedding, he received news of her death. In his grief, he killed himself to be with her and red tulips grew in the place where drops of his blood fell. The ground became the witness of their love for each other and red tulips became the symbol of their undying love" He has the same version of story as I have in mind. "Just like that prince, I will die for you after I made sure anyone who tries to hurt you will be eradicated from this world, I will protect you at all cost, Violet--no, it's Yiren, right?" H-he knows who I am? How?! "How did you.. know? " I heard a chuckle from him, oh how I wish I can see his face. "For now, I will keep this a secret from you. Nothing escapes my ears you know." I pouted. "That's not fair. I'm really curious about how you learned my real identity." "So Yiren is your real identity?" He sounded surprised. Uh-oh.. he doesn't know?! How schemy! "Your words tricked me!" "It did? I just mentioned the name you use when you disguise yourself as a commoner tho. I never said it was your real identity." I glared at him as I crossed my arms. "So tell me, why is 'Yiren' your real identity?" I feel that I can trust him with anything. I can tell him, right? "I came from another world.. And I think I was reincarnated to this world. When I came to this world, I can remember everything from my previous life. Zhou Yiren, that was my name. I worked as a doctor in my previous life, that's why I think that's where my healing ability came from." "I see, no wonder your eyes are filled with knowledge when I first saw you. It was not the eyes of a normal girl." I turned to him. "Where did we met? Who are you?" He held my hand. "I'm afraid I can't tell you yet, my love.. But you know me." I pouted but I suddenly felt something soft like marshmallow on my lips. He just kissed me.. HE JUST KISSED ME! MY FIRST KISS WAS STOLEN! "I am always tempted to kiss you whenever you pout so please don't pout in front of me, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back if you keep on pouting adorably." I can feel my cheek heating up, my heart was racing so fast and there was a warm feeling growing inside me. This guy.. I have always love him.. When it hit me, I feet like exploding. I love this guy?! But I don't know him! "Your blushing face is so cute, it makes me want to tease you more, Yiren." He called me 'Yiren'... that's my real name but why does it sound so beautiful when he said it? "Say it again." I said as I leaned to him, eager to hear him call my name again. He placed his hand on my cheek, I don't know why and how but I feel him smile. "Yiren." "Again." "Yiren."
