The duo had a nice run together in the forest and once they returned to the clearing beside the cabin, they engaged in another session of long and intense sparring.

Alicia appeared to be at an obvious advantage over Ezekiel the entire time. And soon, she landed another blow on Ezekiel's face, splitting his lips by accident.

She immediately halted her attacks, looking a bit shocked and worried that she had drawn blood. Their intention was only to spar, not to hurt each other.

Reaching out worriedly and a little guiltily, she held Ezekiel's face gently. "Oh no… that was one hard hit. Are you okay? Why didn't you dodge that? You should have been able to avoid that punch." she said, a little distraught as she stared at his now bleeding lips. Though it was not bleeding profusely, just the fact that there was blood being spilt was bad enough for her.

He smirked, cupping her chin a little harder and pulled on it to make her look at him. "It's not like I didn't try avoiding, you brute queen. I just couldn't." he admitted honestly.

Her eyes stretched a little wide in disbelief. "R-really? But… does this mean that I'm… I'm faster than you? But that's just impossible!" Alicia tried guessing but immediately denied her own supposition.

"No… it's not impossible, Alicia. I know you could feel it."

Alicia blinked. It was just so unbelievable because… well, because this was Ezekiel Reign! The powerful and ever impressive crown prince of the vampires.

"Wait… it's because I had fed on your blood, right? And also… because you were the one who had turned me."

"Yes. Those are a couple of the reasons." Ezekiel nodded. "Another reason is because you are a silver-haired witch – turned vampire. Just imagine the combined power of a blue-blooded vampire and a silver-haired witch." His spirited voice brought all sorts of wondrous imaginings surging into her mind.

Imagining it had made Alicia's lips parting in anticipation. She had not thought of that, but now that Ezekiel had mentioned it, she could not help but feel dumbfounded. She could feel it in her bones. The strong power she had was something she would have never even imagined before. It was stronger than anything she had ever known! She honestly felt like she could do anything, everything... with this powers that she had now.

"Now it's time for you to do something for these poor lips of mine, Alicia." He pulled her back to reality and the moment her eyes landed on his bloodied lips, she subconsciously darted her tongue out and licked her own lips. She had been trying to ignore the delicious scent that his blood was emitting so close to her, but it seemed that she could not ignore it any longer than a couple of minutes.

And it had been pretty distracting the whole time, so it was better for her to deal with this first before she asks him about more question on this matter about her powers as a silver-haired witch turned into a vampire.

Wasting no time at all, Alicia poked her pink little tongue out and licked up the blood that was leaking from the side of his mouth. She could not help but close her eyes at the taste of him. He truly was such an irresistible man. Everything about him was just amazing and something she could not get enough of.

"Stop focusing on my damned blood and kiss me, Alicia." He demanded. That domineering tone he threw around had her smirking.

"Don't refer to your blood that way, my love. You know I can't resist its scent." she whispered as she moved her fingers through his scalp. "Don't tell me you're jealous of your own blood, hmm? That would be hilarious…" and she trailed off at the darkening gaze that became even more intense on her person.

"You're getting naughtier and cheekier by the minute Alicia."

"And you're loving it. Right? I know I'm right."

"I admit I do. Because it's encouraging me to do dirtier things to you in bed." He whispered.

Alicia felt her insides shuddered at those words and with that look in his eyes. Why did he look as though he still had so many things bed-related he had not shown her? Somehow, she could not help but wonder about the dirtier things he was talking about.

"Stop looking at me like that or I might even consider f**cking you right here, right now."

Her face flared. And then she pinched his cheeks as hard as she could. "You… won't dare."

"Oh, don't underestimate the things I wanted to do with you, Alicia. No one's around in this area other than the wild animals and us, of course. So, there is no reason to hold back –"

"Enough with your flirting, Ezekiel. We came out here to spar and test my strength." She feigned strictness. She really could not take how dirty minded this man was. And she was a little afraid because every dirty thing he uttered seemed to excite her even more.

"Who was it that started looking at me with that seductive gaze again? You looked like you wanted my cock inside you again, Alicia."

Oh dear, goodness me! This man!

"I said stop…" she trailed off because he started laughing at her reddened face. His pleasant laughter echoed through the quiet forest. The sound of his laughter and the singing birds from afar… oh, how she wished this moment to last a little bit longer.

"I love your blushing face, Alicia." He whispered as his laughter died down.

His fingers were now playing with some strands of her hair. "Still not satisfied with the sparring? The sun is already going down. I think it's time for us to head back to bed." Though Ezekiel's tone sounded neutral and casual, Alicia knew better than to trust his surface actions. Quickly glancing over at him, she saw how a naughty smile was slowly curving across his lips. And she knew that he was looking forward to their next entanglement in the sheets. What a great seducer!
