Chapter 67: Chapter 67: A Kiss to Remember
She felt like she just heard a declaration from her guardian angel. She didn\'t feel it, but she subconsciously knew that he would fulfill her wish.
She didn\'t know where this trust was coming from. Hell, she didn\'t ev know why she was getting this close to Sam so soon.
Gerally, how long would a girl take to let a man inside her personal space? Not days, not months, but years, sometimes not ev a mortal lifetime.
Some never op up.
But all it took was days. Lora had already oped up to Sam like never before.
"I... I feel like I have to put my trust in you, but I don\'t understand why I feel like this... This is so weird," a small helpless smile formed on her face as she wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
Sam, seeing her becoming lively again, felt his racing heart resume its normal pace.
Sam ran his hands through her layered long dark hair. "Why is your hair so dark? Is it because of that curse that\'s be haunting you?"
A surprised expression dawned on Lora\'s fair face. She wondered how he knew about that. Other than Adriana, no one knew that she had a curse on her.
Still, she didn\'t ask him about it. "Yes, it\'s because of that damn curse. It makes my hair and eyes turn dark. This curse is quite strong; it prevts me from cultivating. If I persist, it burns my life essce."
"Who cursed you?" Sam\'s eyes turned cold.
"I don\'t know who cursed me. I was cursed ev before... the destruction of my family. Whoever put the curse on me did it long before the incidt," Lora said, looking straight at his face.
"Mm..." Sam casually pulled her into a hug, as if it was a normal thing to do, as he thought about something.
Lora was surprised, but she too had the same kind of feeling going on. She didn\'t refuse the hug and wrapped her arms a his back, resting her head on his shoulder.
Only after hugging him did she realize that a few momts ago, she just had her first kiss. \'Oh my god, I just had my first kiss.\'
She touched her lips gtly, remembering wh, in her rage, Sam had kissed her in his desperate attempt to bring her back. She remembered everything.
She remembered how Sam shed tears wh he couldn\'t bear to see the fury and vgeance she bottled up inside. She couldn\'t help but feel like Sam was the one for her.
"What are you thinking about? Our kiss? I should say you bit me really hard with your pristine fangs... It was painful, you know," Sam said in a teasing tone.
Lora recalled how, in her rage, wh Sam kissed her, her fangs uninttionally pierced his lips, and how she had tasted his blood. Her face contorted in dissatisfaction and guilt.
She couldn\'t believe herself. How could she mess up her first kiss with her dream man like that in her rage? Moreover, she hurt Sam unknowingly and tasted his blood.
Her face lost all color, and she felt really bad.
"Again, don\'t think too much. It\'s not a big deal. So what if you kissed me in your rage and drew a few drops of blood? It doesn\'t matter. In the d, it\'s still you. And if you are worried about hurting me, trust me, you didn\'t hurt me.
If there is something that hurt me, it was you going out of control with your rage," Sam patted her back.
Lora didn\'t say anything and remained silt, not believing his words.
"If you don\'t believe me, th we will kiss again. How about that? That way, you will have your kiss, and also you can consider that repaying me for what you think as hurting me? How about it? Deal?"
Hearing his \'deal,\' Lora\'s face regained its colors. She looked at his incredibly handsome face and nodded her head like a chick.
Sam smiled cheekily, like a merchant who just made the deal of his life. Lora, seeing his happy face, felt embarrassed and also happy herself.
Sam slowly moved his face closer to her, and Lora didn\'t shy away. She moved closer to Sam, pressing their lips on each other.
Their lips gtly touched, and Lora felt a shock run through her body. Her face turned all red, her luscious lips devoured by Sam\'s manly lips.
This was the first time she had kissed someone, but for some reason, she felt like it wasn\'t the first time she had kissed Sam.
It wasn\'t a coincidce that Amelia, too, wh she had her first kiss, that too with Sam, felt like she had kissed Sam before. She felt that kissing Sam was a normal thing to do.
Lora instinctively wrapped her arms a Sam\'s neck like a lover, and their kiss intsified. Sam, feeling her arms a his neck, held her waist lovingly.
As Lora got more comfortable with Sam, she felt something invading her mouth, and she instinctively let it in. Sam\'s tongue danced a in her mouth.
Chu~ Chu~
Kissing sounds filled the inside of the cave, and it didn\'t get out because there was an Emperor-grade formation set up in the Sevth Peak of the White Jade Mountain. So, no one in this world would be able to eavesdrop or spread their spiritual sse inside the cave.
It meant that no matter what Sam did inside the cave, no one would find out about it.
As their tongues battled with intsity and hotness, Sam and Lora started to lose themselves in their own world. Lora could feel her whole body heating up in the momt as she was turned on, and desire for Sam overflowed.
Lora could feel herself losing control, but she didn\'t stop. She didn\'t want to. Just as she was about to lose it, Sam separated his lips from hers, letting both of them take a momt to catch their breath.
"It\'s not time yet, not like this," Sam said slowly, with an intoxicated expression. Clearly, he was doing all he could to control himself from jumping on her.
Lora, feeling disappointed, pouted and nodded her head. She wasn\'t feeling as shy as before.
"Now, I think I might be able to remove that curse from you."
"Y-You can?"
"Well, I won\'t know unless I try it." Sam put his palm on her forehead. "Do you trust me?"
"With every cell of my body," Lora said without hesitation.
"I will begin now." Sam activated his very own innate ability, The Devour. At the same time, Sam closed his eyes and conctrated all his atttion on his control. Ev if he had extraordinary control over his ability, he still put his full effort into this.
He was going to devour her curse.
Soon, a reddish aura began to ooze out of Sam\'s palm, which was placed on Lora\'s forehead. This aura was naturally aggressive and predatory, but it did not show such behavior on Lora. In fact, it made her feel safe under that aura.
\'Again, everything feels weird with him... in a good way,\' Lora thought to herself with a smile on her face.
The reddish aura covered her tire being, but all Lora saw was a red veil slowly covering her, like a protective barrier—at least that\'s how she perceived it. She felt supremely calm.
The same couldn\'t be said for Sam, though. He was under a lot of pressure. His aura came in contact with the curse that had be weaking and suppressing her pottial for so long.
He had full trust in his control, ough to devour her curse as easily as eating a cupcake. He had already done something like this before, remember? He devoured the poison from his grandmother\'s body. But still, he couldn\'t do this like that.
It wasn\'t because it was a curse he was devouring this time; it was because of the person he was using his ability on. He did not want anything to go wrong.
As the aura came in contact with the curse, the devouring aura sucked it in like a black hole without mercy. As Sam\'s aura devoured the curse, the devouring aura was slowly absorbed back into his palm.
And like before, he fell onto his butt, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Wh his eyes looked at Lora, he saw the negative effects the curse had on her body disappear. It was shown in her appearance.
Her dark black hair that was cascading down her back let off a small shine as it slowly changed color and turned into silvery . Her eyes, which had turned black due to the effects of the curse, turned into silver eyes.
Her fair face gained a more whitish color and looked healthier.
It was not just her appearance that returned; her pottial, which was suppressed by the curse, and her weaked state were dissolved.
With the curse gone, the spiritual ergy inside the cave tered her body, solidifying her cultivation ev more.
As her appearance turned back, she looked at Sam with a loving and obsessive smile, as if she had just found the most precious thing in the world.
"You are gorgeous," Sam said.
In return, like a speeding bullet, Lora launched at Sam and hugged him like a teddy bear. "Young master, I love you so much."
"You don\'t have to address me as young master, you know," Sam said, massaging her back.
"I like calling you young master," Lora said confidtly.
"...Alright," Sam smiled helplessly.
