In the dark, Leandro's hand slowly reached out to touch her face, his fingertips gently sliding over her eyes.
Seraphina, with her eyes tightly shut, suddenly grabbed his hand when she felt his touch. Then, she moved his hand to her mouth and bit down hard.
She bit him real hard.
Leandro's arm tensed, but he just let her bite him without making a sound.
Seraphina let go slowly, only after her teeth started to hurt.
Even after letting go, she still held onto his hand tightly.
Leandro wrapped his other arm around her and leaned down to kiss the corner of her mouth.
They stayed like this without moving.
Until Seraphina's breathing slowly steadied, Leandro remained awake.
It was a sleepless night for him.
In the early morning, as the sky was slowly lighting up, Leandro lifted his hand and saw the bite mark from the previous night.
She bit him really hard. The teeth marks on the back of his hand were clearly visible, the wound was bleeding, turned a deep purple shade, and he reckoned it would take five to seven days to heal.
But, if these five to seven days could make up for the past seven years, it was all worth it, right?
Leandro lay still for a while, glanced at Seraphina, gently withdrew his arm from around her, and prepared to get up.
But just as he moved, Seraphina stirred. Her hand reached for his waist and she moved closer to him.
Leandro froze, while she slowly moved into his arms. She seemed to be half-asleep yet chose to stir in the most sensitive area.
Leandro's voice suddenly became hoarse, "Seraphina."
Seraphina suddenly laughed, opened her eyes and looked at him, "What's up?"
Perhaps last night's experience had left a mark on him, so Leandro coldly looked at her, removed her hand from his waist, pulled back the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
Seraphina quickly wrapped her arms around him from behind, pressing herself against his back, "Leandro, I have something to tell you."
Leandro sat on the edge of the bed, not looking back, "What?"
"I think I'm not feverish anymore, my stomach doesn't hurt, and my bowels feel fine..." she said, leaning in close to his ear, her hand slowly reaching inside his robe.
Leandro grabbed her hand, his grip strong.
But Seraphina laughed again, this time, she only said a few words.
"I want you."
Before she even finished speaking, within the span of three seconds, she found herself tossed onto the bed again.
She couldn't help but laugh and reached out to embrace the man on top of her.
...
That day, Keen arrived at the apartment as usual to pick up Leandro for work.
Usually at this time, Leandro was having breakfast. However, when Keen came out of the elevator, he only saw Laura standing at the door with a breakfast tray.
"Laura." Keen called out to her, "Why are you standing here and not bringing in the breakfast?"
