DREAM

CHAPTER TEN

When Adrianna stood, Damien immediately stepped back. He is afraid if he lingers even a second more, he might lose himself and break the enchantment.

But when he stepped back, he realized his mistake. He escaped from the heat only to jump right into the blazing fire!

Right before his eyes is a great test of his discipline. A test he is not confident enough to pass.

Right now, his eyes burned with hungry flames as he greedily traced his mate's delectable curves. Breasts big enough to fill his hands, waist so thin he can span with one hand and a nice, perky, big ass.

Damien growled.

His guts tightened.

Those ass would be pure bliss to grab and play with. And those shapely pair of long legs. Legs that goes on forever. If wrapped around his waist...

Damien thinks he has never been subjected to such torture as great as what he is experiencing now.

As his control continued to plummet, his fangs protruded even before he realized what's happening.

Adrianna stared at Damien.

She seems possessed as she slowly walked closer to him. When she was close enough to touch, she absent mindedly raised a fingertip and traced Damien's fangs.

Damien's breathing hitched.

Clenching his hands tightly into fists, he forced himself to stand still.

How can his mate torture him so?

Damien looked down at his mate with a helpless look in his eyes.

His mate continued her perusal as she studied his canines with apt interest and fascination. With a back and forth motion, she rubbed the sharp point with her index. When she poked her fingertip a little, they both sucked their breath at the same time.

His tooth pierced her flesh!

Damien's ears are ringing with the loud thrashing of his heart.

He felt the instant his tooth sink its way into his mate's cotton soft skin. The feel of his tooth penetrating Adrianna's flesh made his body vibrate with a fiery need to feed.

As his mate retracted her finger, Damien followed his gaze at the stabbed tip. A single drop of blood is sitting at the top of her pierced finger.

Then a nougat sweet smell assaulted Damien's senses.

His gut tightened as his eyes instantly flooded red. The smell almost drove him down to his knees. Overwhelming him with a need so fierce, so deeply seated.

He stared hard in obsession ---mesmerized at the blood glistening on Adrianna's fingertip. The enticing shimmer is like a finger hooking at him. Asking him to come close.

Then he directed his gaze at Adrianna's slender, swan like neck.

With scorching, penetrating eyes, he zeroed in at the rhythmic throbbing of her pulse ---gently tapping at her skin.

Damien can feel his muscles spasm. His fangs throbbing.

He can hear the excited gush of Adrianna's blood like a playful running stream. Tempting him to join in the fun. Enticing him.

Damien swallowed hard as he tried to keep his instincts at bay.

He is now clenching his fists so tight that the sound of cracking knuckles can be heard.

Adrianna swiftly snapped her head in his direction. She looked at his fists. Then up his face.

As if knowing what he needed, she painted his lips with her blood.

Holding Adrianna's eyes with his, he licked her blood.

She sucked her breath.

He caught her finger between his teeth and trapped it within his mouth.

He can hear his mate's pounding heart as her breathing quickened.

An imperceptible arc raised at the corner of his lips as he sucked her finger and sucked it hard.

She whimpered.

His chest rumbled in response.

Then he let go of her finger as he leaned down and slowly moved his head close to hers.

Her face flushed red. Her lips opening slightly.

Damien stared hard at those full lips and slowly grazed his lips with hers. Simply touching their lips together.

Adrianna moaned against his pressed lips. Then she nibbled on Damien's lips.

Damien sucked his breath as his eyes widen in surprise.

When she had enough, she licked her own lips then pulled back with her brows furrowed in bewilderment.

"Why does this dream feels so...real?" she softly muttered to herself.

Damien's lips twitched as he heard Adrianna's mutterings.

"Where are you located?"

"Moalboal, Cebu City, Philippines." Adrianna answered unconsciously without further thought.

A glint appeared in Damien's eyes as he gave Adrianna a soft kiss on top of her head.

Checkmate.

-----------------------------------------

Adrianna opened her eyes and saw the corrugated tin roof above her.

Her heart is still battering in her chest. Her breathing ragged. She finds it difficult to concentrate.

It feels like she was dreaming inside a dream. She woke up and was still inside a dream.

A dream with Damien.

The second time she woke up, she is on her bed. She feels like she just crawled out from a quicksand.

Her body feels heavy, weak and limp. Her mind is muddled. Her heart in chaos.

Her dream is quite strange. It felt so very real.

Inside her dream, the feelings she felt feels genuine.

Adrianna quickly touched her lips with her fingertips. It was cold.

Damien's lips was as cold as ice.

The sensations are real.

Adrianna's eyes went round as she took a sudden breath and held her throat in one hand.

She can actually feel Damien in a whole different level. Its more physical. Its like a sharing of something deeper. She can feel the stir in his mind, the ripples within him.

She can anticipate his need. Understand his meaning even without words.

And all it takes is just a look from him.

There is a kind of harmony between them. A resonance she did not feel from the past.

Was it because she was insane before?

Wait!

It was just a dream! Everything is possible in a dream!

A sudden burst of laughter erupted in the room. An eerie kind of laughter that ended in a miserable note.

A dream.

Oddly, Adrianna felt a pinch in her heart.
