Chapter 72



Adam grabbed the makeshift bars of the cage, searching frantically for a way in, “you’re not a monster Ella..”

“I almost killed you!” Ella yelled, her arms wrapping around her legs tightly, “I couldn’t control myself, when I sunk my teeth into your flesh I-” Ella pursed her trembling lips, she couldn’t believe that feeding on another person had actually felt so satisfying. “I can’t go on with you, I’ve already endangered your life once, I’m not going to let that happen again. Not to you, and not to anyone else.”

“But I’m fine Ella, my life was never in danger,” Adam responded, still shaking the cage trying to find a way in, he had the strong urge to hold her in his arms, to comfort her and tell her everything was alright. “Just open this cage so we can get going.”

“No!” The redhead retaliated, “it’s too dangerous, what if I get hungry again then what happens? I’m not putting your life at risk again!”

Adam pulled down the collar of his shirt and showed the woman the place where the bite marks once were. Ella was surprised when she saw that they we’re almost completely healed. “You see, I’m already all healed up,” Adam explained, “so please, stop punishing yourself for nothing and let me in.”

Ella looked up at Adam’s longing eyes and moved further into the cage, “I can’t, I’m not the same Adam, I can feel myself changing. Slowly I’m turning into a blood sucking creature of the night.” She averted the man’s gaze, “you may have survived, but what about everyone else? I just don’t want to hurt anyone. So please, just leave me be and go find your people.”

After tasting blood for the first time, Ella could feel herself physically changing. She felt more nimble, her eyesight improved tremendously, especially during the night and so did her sense of smell. Her fangs had gotten sharper and her urge to feed was getting stronger, she was slowly turning into a full fledged nosferatu. It scared her, she didn’t know anything about what beings like her were like, but what she did know was that she was dangerous.

Adam looked up at Ella and sighed, trying to convince her right now would be futile, especially with this guilt ridden mentality she had developed. He stretched his arm through the bars and touched her foot, gently trailing his hand to her ankles. “Fine. I’ll leave you alone for now, on condition that you eat something and get some rest.”

.....

Ella didn’t respond. The elven prince got up and walked deeper into the thicket of trees and moments later the blue eyed woman could hear the breaking of brunches. She watched Adam drag large pieces of wood and stems near the cage with much curiosity. After he was done piling up the wood, he grabbed a thick stem and started digging a shallow ditch in the ground.

Ella inched closer to the bars and saw him arranging the wood in the shallow ditch. “What are you doing?” She questioned him.

“I’m making us a fire,” Adam responded. After placing the last piece of wood he stood up and looked around for something he could use to start it.

“Us?”

“Yes, it’s cold. And since you won’t come out here to be with me, I’m going to stay here and be with you.”

The man continued examining the surrounding, looking for something he could use as a makeshift flint. His eyes then wondered to the golden glow that flickered where his men had returned to sit. He realized he could get some burning amber from there and use it to start a fire here.

“perfect!” He said with the snap of his finger. But immediately he did that, the pile of wood burst into flames making Adam and Ella fall back.

Ella looked at the roaring fire with shock and then trailed her eyes back to Adam who looked equally as surprised.

“D- did I do that?” The man stammered.

Ella slowly nodded her head, had Adam just started a fire at will? That was magic wasn’t it? She looked up at the man who was staring at the fire as if doubting its existence. “You have magic..”

He looked down at his palms as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. “Magic?” He raised one hand in front of his face and gently snapped his fingers. Immediately a small flame akin to that of a candle appeared in the air over his index finger.

“Be careful!” Ella squealed. She was fascinated by the man’s abilities but was worried he’d hurt himself nonetheless.

Adam bounced the small flame up and down before tossing it into the crackling fire. Ella moved closer to him and an amused smile crossed her face. “I had once read that high elves can control the elements with their magic,” Ella explained, “I never thought I’d ever see those fairytales manifest with my own eyes.”

“The elements huh?” Adam looked up at Ella with a twinkle in his eye, he inched closer to her cage and inspected it.

“What are you doing?”

Adam gently touched the cage and the stems and vines began to shake.

“Adam?”

The stems began to unravel around her and falling to the ground. Once the cage had been shattered, a thick root erupted from the ground and wrapped itself around Ella’s waist gently.

“Adam stop it!” The woman squirmed around as the root gently lifted her off the ground and brought her towards Adam who was smiling slyly at her.

“Adam put me down this is not funny!”

“As you wish.” The root unraveled itself and dropped her onto his lap. He wrapped one arm around her waist and with the other cupped her chin between his thumb and index finger. “You’ve been starving yourself all this time?”

Ella averted his gaze and pursed her lips, “I haven’t been very hungry,” she responded.

“You’re lying Ella..” the man spoke with a chuckle

“Well how did you expect me to be stuffing my face when you were out cold because of me?!”

Adam gently stroked her cheek and tugged up his lip on one side in a very attractive smile.

“Do you want me to feed you?” He questioned her

When a light blush painted her face Adam lightly licked his lips. This woman had no idea the things she did to him, the things he wished he could do to her. Adam’s feelings for Ella ran deep, far beyond lust and physical attraction. He loved her mind, her heart, her very being. He had loved her for so long that sometimes he felt like it was an obsession, and even if it was he really didn’t care.

“Do you have any idea how long I’ve waited..” the man spoke in a titillating tone that made Ella’s breath hitch.

She looked into his eyes that were flaring with desire, “waited for what?” She asked him, she felt like she was forcing herself to speak.

Adam’s hand moved from her face to her leg which he squeezed gently. Ella almost jumped off his lap but the arm around her waist was securing her firmly in his embrace.

“When we were courting back in Mirine, you never allowed me to hold or touch you in any intimate way,” the man rasped, he inched his face closer to her body and moved it up her chest, drawing in her sent like a drag he was addicted to. “Do you have any idea what kind of torture that was? Every night I’d lay awake thinking about how soft your skin would feel against mine, how it would feel to trail my fingers all over your beautiful body without restriction, to hold you Ella, to genuinely hold you.”

Ella’s face flashed and her ears burned, the way his voice rumbled in his chest as he spoke was making her throat dry.

“Do you know what I’d do if you let me touch you Ella?” Adam groaned softly.

“No..” her voice was a quiet whisper.

“I would kiss you Ella,” the man responded, his face placed on the crook of her neck, “I’d kiss you long and hard till we’re both out of breath, savoring every movement of your soft lips and every taste of your mouth. But I probably wouldn’t end there, I’d make sure I’d kiss you on every inch of your soft succulent skin. Your neck, down to your chest, to the soft perfect mounds on your chest.”

The warm breath hitting Ella’s neck sent a wave of shivers down her spine and instinctively she grabbed his shoulders.

“I’d also cater to your belly, planting soft feathery kisses around your navel.” Adam bit down on his lip as his mind went wild with thoughts. The fact that he hadn’t even seen Ella naked seemed to make his attraction towards her burn even more. “And then...” he continued as he slid his hand up her her leg, trailing his fingers gently over her slacks and stoping on her upper thigh that he squeezed gently.

“And then?..”

Adam smiled at Ella’s question, he had felt her body heat rise significantly from the time she had sat on his lap. He very gently brushed her between her legs and planted a soft kiss on her neck. “Then I’d kiss you there..”
