Chapter 34 - One Step Inside Your Heart
HUMAN WORLD,
The heavy rain continued nonstop wetting the concreted street and the newborn leaves blooming from the trees hereby.
Athena ignored his previous question and paid more attention to the puppy squirming in her lap.While wiping the little puppy, she also wiped herself half in case her coldness won't cause the little one to catch a cold.
Ethan watched her every careful movements and felt a little warm in his heart. Her demoness aura was nowhere to be seen instead it was alternated into a soft girlish one. Her curly hairs were all soaked off falling down on her broad shoulders and subconsciously gave her another attractive look. Her white skin was slightly exposed from her soaked clothes.His eyes shifted away from her sexy collarbones covered in raindrops awkwardly.
Head down, she was happily playing with the puppy who was jumping lightly after getting dried up. It was happy to be cared by this two people and became friendly quite fast.
Ethan asked with concern sitting opposite her,
" Why don't you dry up your own hairs? Your hairs are all over drenched badly."
Athena waved her hands and continued playing with the puppy replied,
" I don't need to do it now.."
She lifted the puppy in the air and added with a bright smiling forming on her drenched lips,
" Right now, I just want to play with this little one. I don't know when will I meet him again."
Ethan frowned at her careless attitude and snatched the towel from her hand approaching near her and scolded,
" You are more childish than the puppy.
Let me help you..".
Athena wanted to deny his gratitude but the boy was already shifted on her side. In no time, she found only darkness in front of her version when the half-wetted towel fell over her head as his wet skin started brushing against her jawlines consecutively.
She felt her heart skipped a bit and her vision was replaced into a pleasant memory. Subconsciously a faint smile was formed on her lips.
It has been long time that someone had treated her so gently!
She never imagined that one day a stranger would feel her warm in this way. She stayed calm like a good girl and continued holding the puppy on her lap which had started licking her nails after being lifted down.
Ethan continued wiping the hairs smoothly as if he was quite accustomed to do it. When he paid no concern over her overwhelmed expression, Athena tilted her face slightly gazing at his attentive face deeply.
Ethan continued wiping the hairs until her intense gaze distracted his attention. He shifted uncomfortably and paused in his track asking with uncertainty,

" What?? Am I doing it wrong?"
Athena denied shaking her head lightly,
" No... it.. it's just.. you don't have to trouble yourself for me.."
She laughed and continued teasingly,
" It seems like you are quite professional in taking care of women..."
Ethan smiled faintly and replied with a dull tone,
" I used to take care of my sister.. "
Athena stopped teasing and said with a comforting tone,
" I'm sorry.. We will find her out soon.. "
Ethan smiled back at her with gratitude.Suddenly his expression changed horribly as his eyes travelled on the rainy street followed behind a tree.
His gaze darkened immediately stopping at his action.Athena stared at him cynically unsure about his dark gaze.
When she wanted to turn her head towards the certain direction, Ethan quickly stopped her,
" Don't look back."
Athena frowned and opened her mouth doubtly,
" Why.. what happened?"
Ethan stood up from her side instantly and strolled towards the way before ordering her seriously,
" Take this puppy with you and ride upstairs quick. Don't come down until I call you.."
Athena pursued her lips but didn't protest anymore when she saw his troubled expression.
She followed his order obediently and didn't turn around while climbing upstairs holding the puppy.
Ethan took some long steps ahead reaching at the entrance of the building. He paused at the gate and gazed opposite of the street through the rain deeply.
Under the lightening thunder strokes, he saw a man in a black hoodie standing opposite the street and staring at his way. He was wearing a black raincoat covering his cold figure from head to toe. Even the hoodie hid his gaze so well that Ethan couldn't look through it.
But he never failed to recognise the person standing there. His both fists were clenched tightly at the sight of his presence...
VAMPIRE WORLD,
Esme felt powerless towards his unscrupulous requests and domineering attitude. Thus she could only follow his order and took an apple slice from the plate.
His face flashed with satisfaction at the sight of her obedient posture. She took it up and offered it in front of his seductive lips greeting her teeth angrily.
The man was completely unfazed at her reluctance and stuffed it inside his mouth hungrily. He purposely licked her index finger seductively as she shivered little at his cold touch.
She gave a hard galre but the man ignored it. Even he demanded shamelessly glancing at the apple disdainfully,
" It's not so sweet but edible. Feed me those red cherries.."
Esme shifted uncomfortably on his lap and reached out for the cherries on the basket.
This time, she stuffed it inside his mouth hardly causing him to grin foolishly.
She stared at his face confusedly.
Does this man has no shame after being ignored by me for so long? Still he is laughing like I'm offering him some sweets.
He chewed the sweet cherries slowly. His eyes fell on her dry lips as he spoke with deeper meanings,
" It's so sweet but not as yours.."
It took one minute to understand his words as her face started blushing profusely.
He had a glib-tongue surely!
She started getting up again and complained,
" I have done feeding you. Now let me go.."
As she spoke, she started getting up but Aaron pulled her down again harshly, saying,
" No.. you can't go now.. I haven't feed you yet.."
Esme quickly responded,
" No need..I don't want to eat now.It's midnight here. Who on earth eat at midnight? Let me go back to my room.."
Aaron ordered domineeringly,
" No.. You must eat now.. Don't you dare to run away.. "
Esme opened her lips and couldn't find anymore words to curse him badly..Under his gripping, she could only tolerate his all unreasonable demands.
Just then, Aaron took a red cherry from the basket and lifted it up on her lips asking softly,
" Eat, milady.."
Esme sighed and took the cherry between her lips reluctantly.
When she was about to slide it inside her tongue, Aaron spoke smiling devilishly,
" I didn't get the time to taste the cherry earlier.. Let me take a bite from you.."
Before Esme could understand anything, he slided his tongue inside her mouth devouring the cherry and her lips at the same time hungrily.
Esme felt her nostrils filled with the misty scent of his hairs along with a sweet fragrance of the cherry fruit.
Her hand went to push him back but the man was sucking and biting her lips so hard that she felt intoxicated.
In no time, her whole body melted under his powerful kisses. After a long time, the kiss ended with a loud gasp escaping from her lips.
She stayed in his embrace numb and felt his cold forehead leaning against her own one.
His cold shallow breathing fell on her blushed cheek as she heard him say hoarsely,
" I'm so happy today, Esme.."
She lifted her eyes to meet his gaze as confusion flashed from those alluring eyes.
Aaron continued softly as his hand settled her messy hairs gently,
" Because today you proved that I have took one step inside your heart already."
Esme's eyes flashed with surprise and astonishment as she stared at him blankly.
Did I really started falling for him?
COMING BACK TO THE DARK CAVE,
the little girl was sobbing hardly as she screamed loudly watching the dense darkness in front of her eyes,
" Mommy.... mommy... where are you... mommmy... Sob. sob.. sob.. mommy.. Ayra is so scared.. mommy..."
Shortly after, the dark cave was enlightened as an young lady walked in holding a lamp.
She ran towards her bed quickly and hold the child in her embrace coaxing softly,
" Ayra, when did you wake up! I'm so sorry, baby.. I thought you were sleeping. That's why I went to fetch some water outside.. Did you get scared?"
The little girl spoke holding her tightly,
" Sister Anna, why don't mommy come to meet me anymore? Why? Doesn't she want Ayra anymore? "
Anna denied quickly and comforted her saying,
" No, baby..Your mother loves you more than anything. She must have something urgent to do there. She will come to meet Ayra soon.."
Ayra tilted her head and asked sobbing,
" Promise? "
Anna nodded hesitantly,
".. yeah.. promise.. She will come.. She will definitely come back to you.. "
As she spoke, her brows tightened with worries as she caressed through her long hairs gently.
