Abel pushed himself away from her, standing on his knees. Aries clutched her hand closer to her chest, watching him take off his top, revealing his sculptured chest and toned stomach.

"Come." Abel offered his hand to her, witnessing her brows raise. "It's better this way."

'Better in what way...?' she wondered, but her thoughts halted upon catching the pulsating vein on the side of his neck. 'I see...'

Aries didn't think much about it anymore, reaching her hand out to him. When his fingers wrapped around her hand, he pulled her up until she was sitting up. His arm wrapped around her waist, stilling her in one place whilst sitting down.

"Better, right?" Abel cocked his head to the side, displaying his neck for her to lust for. "Haha. How silly."

"Don't tease me." She frowned slightly, gulping, barely able to take off her eyes from his neck to his eyes. "Is it fine like this?"

His lips stretched even broader until they reached his eyes.

"Of course," he said. "It's flattering how you now understand the value of blood."

Abel pricked his thumb using the tip of his finger. The delectable scent of his blood instantly wafted her nostrils, making her mouth and throat dry up.

"Abel." Aries panicked at the urge that was pushing her to bite him, tugging his shoulders mildly. "What are you doing?"

"Teasing you?" he humored, pressing his bleeding thumb on the corner of her lips. "I've always wondered when would this day come when you realize how lovely it is to drink each other's blood."

Aries held her breath as the pleasant scent of his blood was closer, licking the blood on her lips whilst keeping her gaze on him.

"It was indeed... beautiful," she whispered, enthralled at his beauty. Aries slowly raised her hands and cupped his cheek, staring at him with overflowing affection and appreciation. "I'm lucky."

"Indeed you are," he humored again, lips parting as he watched her move her face forward. Unlike his expectation for a straight bite, Aries showered him with short and soft pecks until he was chuckling.

"What are you doing?" he asked in between his chuckle, holding her wrist as he gaze up.

"Having my... Uhm... appetizer?" she ran her tongue across her inner cheek. "Before the big meal?"

Another wave of laughter erupted from him, gazing at her in amusement.

"Darling, I am torn whether to feel amused or threatened." He grinned, pulling her body closer. "But I am ready to be... tucked away."

Abel wiggled his brows playfully while Aries bit her inner bottom lip to suppress her giggle. She then spread her fingers on his shoulders, her fingertips touching his neck. Aries moved up a bit, tilting her head to the side, smiling playfully at him.

Seeing the mischief in her eyes, Abel rolled his eyes. She pressed her chest against him, blowing seductively at his ear before biting his earlobe.

Abel breathed out carefully, tracing her spine from her bottom up to her nape. A hiss slipped past his lips when she planted a sensual peck on his neck, feeling her lips curled up against his skin upon noticing his impatience.

"Darling..." he called under his breath, clasping a portion of her hair from the hairline on her nape. "... I used up all the patience I could in this lifetime. Stop teasing..."

Abel trailed off weakly, feeling her tongue run on his neck near his jaw, before feeling her teeth on his skin. Aries simply bit him playfully without sinking her growing fangs.

"Shhh." Aries hushed, planting another soft peck on him. She then moved closer until she was sitting on his lap with her knees on either side of his bent knees. She nudged her nose against his neck, inhaling the scent of his skin.

Even with all the kisses and licks, his natural odor was something Aries couldn't put into words. But it was surely pleasant... appetizing. Aries licked her lips in excitement before her lips parted, revealing two short yet sharp fangs.

In a heartbeat, she shut her mouth closed. The way her teeth sank into his skin and her fangs deeper were smooth, followed by the sudden explosion of taste in her mouth. A muffled moan slipped past her lips, clutching his back and digging her nails into his skin.

His arm wrapped around her body whilst keeping his hand clasping a portion of her hair, pushing her head down on his shoulder. His countenance slowly turned red, panting through his mouth. The sound of her gulps echoed in his ears, urging him not to hold back.

Aries was no longer human and thus, she could take more of him.

Just the thought of it made his blood boil with excitement. His grip on her hair tighten, pressing her head so her fangs sink deeper until he could feel her even teeth on his skin.

"Aries," he hissed after some time, pulling her hair back until they were face to face. Blood trickled down the side of her lips, looking at him with those bright crimson eyes.

"Hah..." he huffed quietly, leaning his face forward while tilting his head to the side. Abel licked the blood trickling down from the side of her lips before claiming those lips. As soon as his lips smashed against hers, Aries unintentionally grazed his lips with her fangs.

Another moan escaped her mouth as he pricked her lips to share their blood through their kiss, which was growing more and more intense with every passing second.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the Grimsbanne's mansion, everyone sat in their seat with blank and horrified expressions plastered on their faces. When Lilou snapped out of her trance, she covered Sunny's ear.

Sunny, who was sitting on her mother's lap, looked back at Lilou. "Mama, it's not that I can hear them."

"God damn it!" Conan harrumphed when he couldn't take it anymore, slamming his hands against the table as he threw a huge fit. He glared daggers at the mansion before he shouted,

"We can smell your bloody war! Have some shame!"

Conan's shouts echoed until his voice drifted into nothingness. Nothing happened. The scent of Abel and Aries's blood were dominating their nostrils, giving them an idea of what was currently happening inside the mansion.

"I am envious," murmured Samael, casting Lilou a look only to meet Sunny's glare. "Sunny, sleep early."
