Sangrea's faint breaths permeated through the air as she struggled to contain her shadow's shape.

Her shadow which had been wriggling around, and changing from shape to shape was slowly stabilising once she squeezed Xavier's hand.

The softness of her shoulders and fingers was all Xavier could think about as he quietly stood by her side. His crimson red eyes were glowing even brighter as his stomach shook violently.

Her collar had been lowered exposing her bare neck, the sight was incredibly tempting for Xavier who'd just concluded his evolution. Gluttony wanted nothing more than to devour her blood.

Despite that, Xavier held it in, it wasn't the right time. No matter how many needles he could feel spinning around his stomach or how much his throat burned from thirst, he held it in.

Xavier was prepared to even knock himself out if he had to, to keep the hunger out of control. It was that bad.

'If I start sucking her blood now... I might not be able to stop...' He quietly thought to himself as he tried clearing his mind.

"Fu..." Sangrea slowly exhaled.

With that final exhale, her shadow had finally stopped moving. It had successfully stabalised.

"Do you feel better?" Xavier asked as Sangrea collapsed onto his shoulder.

"Mmm... A bit..." She muttered with a tired expression.

Beneath her eyes were dark circles emphasising on just how drained she was.

"But I managed to do it at least..." She added with a smile as she turned to him.

Xavier gave her a pat on the head before also smiling in response. "Yeah, well done ."

Without saying anything else, Sangrea lowered her head while still leaning on his shoulder. It was only the two of them in the hallway and that alone kept her heart on the edge.

"..."

"..."

No words were spoken in between the two. While Xavier was focused on surpressing his urges, Sangrea's were slowly leaking out.

"Hey... Xavi... Can I have some blood...?" She asked as she suddenly turned her head towards his neck as she rested her chin on his shoulder.

Xavier didn't know why but the question somewhat flustered him.

"Yeah." He responded, somehow managing to keep a straight face.

"Thank you..." She quietly muttered while leaning towards his neck.

As her breath crashed against his neck, Xavier could feel pleasant shivers surging through his body and when her teeth finally sunk in-

*Pierce*

A rush of pleasure flowed through his neck. It was unlike any other time she'd suck his blood.

*Gulp* *Gulp*

With every faint gulp he could hear, the pleasure from the rush increased. Both of their hearts pounded loudly while the redness of their cheeks only grew.

'What's happening...? His blood tastes... So good... Way too good...' Sangrea thought to herself.

'...The pain in my stomach and throat is going away... This feels incredibly relaxing... How is she doing this...?' Xavier wondered.

Sangrea who'd only intended to suck his blood was just as confused as he was. That is, until she remembered something she'd been told in the past.

When a Vampire who share's a bond with an individual shares the same desire and lust for one another. Something amazing will happen as they drink each other's blood.

Sangrea could feel Xavier's strength flowing into her as she drank his blood, it was unlike anything she'd ever experienced.

'Is this what he meant by amazing?' Sangrea wondered as the dark circles slowly vanished from beneath her eyes.

*Gulp*

Sangrea didn't want to let go but out of fear from sucking all of his blood out of him, Sangrea let go with the final gulp.

The moment she did so however- Xavier grabbed her by the waist and threw her on top of him. While still backed against the wall, he guided her mouth back to his neck with his hand before telling her. "Drink."

Sangrea was surprised by this but overwhelmed by her urge for his blood, her mind didn't care to ask questions.

*Pierce*

Her fangs pierced in his neck, her eyes winced however, as in the same moment, she could also feel his fangs penetrated hers.

Xavier had moved into take a bite in the same moment, and he didn't hold back.

*Gulp* *Gulp*

Without exchanging any words, the two drank whilst experienced the ecstatic rush. Their thirst was quickly being quenched and they could think of nothing but one another.

As their emotions reached even newer heights, something strange began to occur. A bright crimson glow began emerging from beneath their chests, in the exact areas where their hearts were.

The glow pulsated in rhythm with their heartbeat and with every beat, they could feel their energy colliding.

[The User's energy is merging with the bonded Vampire.]

[The merged essence flows between the bonded Vampire and the User.]

[The merged essence is empowering the user.]

Xavier's ears twitched at the notification.

[Gluttony devours the excess essence- The merge's efficiency is rising.]

[Gluttony grows stronger as it devours the excess shadow manipulation essence.]

[The User's power is rising.]

[+1 Stat added to Strength.]

[+1 Stat added to Stamina.]

[+1 Stat added to Agility.]

[...]

All sorts of notifications were going on inside of Xavier's head, yet with his racing mind, he could barely understand any of it.

He was focused only on drinking Sangrea's blood and she was focused only on drinking his.

[Warning: Both the User and the Bonded Vampire's blood level is reaching a low amount.]

[If the merge continues any longer-]

Before the notification could even finish, Xavier swung his head backwards, removing his fangs out of her neck as his head against the wall.

Sangrea also snapped out of it, and slowly pulled her fangs away from his neck, realising that they were reaching a dangerous point.

The sound of the two panting was all they could hear for the following seconds as they stared at one another with surprise.

"W..What was that...?" Sangrea asked whilst blushing.

"Not sure... I think our energy merged because of our bond and that made us a bit stronger..." Xavier replied.

'This is probably the main reason Vampire's marry those they form a bond with. It's for power.' He concluded.

"Either way..." Xavier muttered as he looked down her back.

Amidst the process, Xavier had instinctively grabbed a hold of her curvy ass and squeezed it repeatedly. Even through the Dress's cloth, he could still feel unmatched softness.

The sensation of squeezing it was running through his fingertips. He wanted to do it again.

*Squeeze*

He did, and she shivered.

,m "X-Xavi..." Sangrea called out to him, staring at him with sparkly eyes. "I-I'm a bit sensitive right now... If you keep holding onto me... And squeezing me like that..."

Hearing her words and seeing her embarrassed expression made Xavier, want to tease her even more. He ended up squeezing her as two more times before smacking it.

"Kya-" Sangrea squealed with another shiver.

The girl then proceeded to direct her gaze towards him, her expression changing from a shy embarrassed one to lustful one.

Her eyes stared at him as if they were planning to devour him.

"..."

It was then that Xavier realised, he'd taken the teasing too far-

"San-"

Before Xavier could finish saying her name, he was interrupted by Sangrea who suddenly leaned in, kissing him straight on his lips.

Her crotch rubbed on his bulge as she wrapped her arms around his neck, preventing him from moving away.

That being said, he wasn't even remotely thinking of stepping back. Xavier retaliated by raising up her dress and exposing her big round ass before grabbing it directly.

As the tongues intertwined, he grasped her pair of cheeks without hesitation, failing to understand just how in the world they could be so soft.

The thought of him plowing her from behind and thrusting his hips into her ass made him lose all rationality.

Sangrea slowly lifted up Xavier's shirt, revealing his shredded physique while Xavier slowly lowered Sangrea's dress from the collar downwards.

Her plump chests slowly flowed out, jiggling with a bounce before standing firm along with her pointed nipples.

Xavier stared at them, unable to avert his eyes before grabbing a hold of them with his hands.

He watched as his hands slowly sunk in, as the soft sensation ran through his finger tips. He fiddled around, playing around and jiggling them around without stop.

Sangrea who was struggling to hold in her moans, shivered in ecstasy with every touch.

She completely lost it however, as Xavier suddenly leaned in with his mouth before sucking on the right nipple.

"Ahn!" She moaned while slowly cocking her head back.

Just like that, Xavier fiddled around, playing around with one of her chests with one arm while using his mouth to suck the other.

It was a lot more fun that he'd expected it to be, he was getting creative trying out all sorts of techniques and seeing which one jogged forth the biggest reaction.

After a few minutes which felt like hours, Sangrea was on the edge. She was trembling while staring at him with her teary eyes.

"S-Stop teasing me..." She muttered as if asking him to take to step further.

That was Xavier's final straw.
