It had been a few days since Emily had been staying in the manor, she had met Ruki’s brothers, and they were interesting to say the least. Ruki seemed to be like a leader to the others, she thought it was kind of cute, they argued some especially when it came to food on the table. She understood what it was like to go without food for a while though, the fear of wondering when you'll get to eat again or if you even will before death claims you.
Her mind wandered back to how good of a cook Ruki was, she wondered where he learned to cook like that. It was funny how he seemed so much like a housewife, she was sure if she said that to him he'd probably kill her or make her wish she hadn't said anything though, so she had kept the thought to herself.
The bell interrupted her thoughts as another school day came to an end, she gathered her things as she headed out. Emily had yet to make a new friend, which she knew why that was now, the Mukami’s were popular, and she was practically always by Ruki’s side. That made some girls jealous, she sighed she wondered how she was going to make friends like this. She wasn’t much for talking to people, usually she would wait until someone talked to her.
As she was walking to the limo she noticed Ruki surround by a couple of girls, they were definitely flirting with him. For some reason she didn’t like it, she felt her chest heat with jealousy. Emily wasn’t sure why, she hadn’t known Ruki very long, but some of his words flashed back into her mind ‘𝘐 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚.’
She knew he meant her blood, and probably nothing else, but even so for some reason, the thought of him sucking another woman’s blood made the feeling of jealousy grow. Maybe Ruki had been right, maybe she did enjoy the feeling of getting her blood sucked, but she didn't want to admit how good it had felt.
Perhaps it was a petty move, but Emily noticed a drinking fountain near them. A few seconds later water exploded from it spraying all of them, and soaking them, unfortunately getting Ruki covered as well. Emily's eyes widened as she quickly started shuffling to the limo, she hadn't told him of her powers of water manipulation, so maybe he wouldn't know it was her.
The limo ride home was silent, she wasn't sure if Ruki was annoyed or not, she hadn't even attempted to look at him. Perhaps he didn't know it had been her after all, even so, she hadn't meant to spray him. Was she going to get a punishment? While in school she had used a dictionary to determine the meaning of the word. Needless to say, it didn't sound like too much fun, and Emily didn't plan on letting him punish her so easily, she wasn't going down without a fight.
Once they arrived at the manor Emily practically went straight to her room, she had even locked the door for extra measure. She knew he could teleport, but it made her feel a bit safer, it was stupid but she did it anyway. After a few seconds, she sat on her bed staring at the door like it was her enemy, and after a few minutes passed she started to feel relieved, maybe he really didn't know it was her.
Emily waited a little longer before getting up and unlocking the door, she sighed relieved as she plopped back down on her bed. Perhaps it was in her nature to be jealous, Sirena often got violent when someone invaded their territory, she had learned that before and it wasn't fun.
They were beautiful creatures like those portrayed in fantasy stories, however, they weren't as nice as humans portrayed. Most of her kind didn't like humans, but they needed them to survive, the reason Sirena often dragged men to their death was so they wouldn't form attachments. Most Sirena’s were taught to keep away from humans, if you see one close kill it before it kills you. However, Emily hadn't ever had anyone tell her this, she had been thrown into the deep end of things once she knew how to fend for herself.
Although it wasn't just humans that fascinated Emily, it was more so the things that they created. She was naive though, she had seen the way some humans treated others. Her mind flashed back to the conversation in school the other day, the one about the abusive orphanages. She still wondered why Ruki seemed so uncomfortable, perhaps he had suffered In his past as well, like those poor children. Or maybe she was just reading too much into it, she could tell the Vampire didn't like discussing things from his past, and she didn't want to pry. “No child deserves something so cruel,” she said to herself shuddering at the thought. The things they'd do to the children were awful, she didn't think she could ever go through something like that.
(Hi Admin! Hope your day is going well! 💖)
"…Oi, Emily. I'm coming in."
A slightly vexed voice rumbled from the other side of her bedroom door before Ruki turned the knob and revealed himself, a spare change of clothes in hand. While his current ensemble somewhat dried off by now, they still clung uncomfortably to his skin from the overall dampness of a deflated collar, creased blazer lapels, and even parts of his white undershirt growing transparent from the earlier douse. In fact, upon closer inspection, one could even begin to see a subtle hint of his chiseled abs through the thin fabric. Of course that had to happen, on all the days he chose to forgo an extra layer of clothing in his go-to burgundy tunic. What poor luck. Or at least, he wished he could attribute it to luck. However, the Vampire was no fool and knew the effect his body may or may not have had on the Sirena sitting on her bed in front of him as he let himself in without much of a warning.
"The strangest thing happened at school today. A fountain suddenly malfunctioned and drenched me from head to toe, as well as a few other students… And now thanks to that mishap, I've gotten not only the inside of the limousine soaked, but also some other areas of the manor that really shouldn't get wet. Water can do a number on the flooring and tiles and whatnot, after all. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" He feigned a glance in search of guilt on her face, already theorizing that she was the mastermind behind the little scheme. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't lie to me. It's not everyday a fountain at school breaks, lesser still spouts water like a torrential downpour. It's almost like… Magic."
Fabric ruffled as several rivulets of water fell and left tiny stains on the carpet, his long, black tie coming undone with a sleight of hand. Wringing it out for any extra droplets, Ruki took both ends of the neckwear and wrapped it around his slender fingers, holding them out together in an almost threatening stance as if he intended to restrain the young woman. For now, he simply maintained a stern gaze, waiting for her to fess up. Sitting on an adjacent spot of the bed, close enough for Emily to possibly feel how chill to the touch he was, he stared down at the tie in his hands for a moment before redirecting his attention back to her with double the unnerve. Part of him wondered why she would pull such a stunt in public view, while the other half of him envisioned how cute she might look utterly helpless and vulnerable under him on this very bed.
"Don't tell me… You were jealous of those girls, weren't you? There's no need to pretend the fountain incident wasn't you, Emily. I can piece together that much; I'm not stupid. The way you rushed to your room without a second thought, or how you stayed eerily silent on the way home. However, rather than how you managed it, I'm curious as to why. Do you think I sucked your blood the way I did yours? Pfft—hahaha," a mocking snicker left his lips. "Oh, you are quite the cheeky one, Livestock. Today is the day you learn what punishment is."
Suddenly, without mercy nor hesitation, Ruki shoved her into a supine position onto the soft sheets, his larger frame hovering above hers as he let one end of the tie slip from his extremities, opting to seize both of her wrists instead.
"Those girls from school wouldn't waste their breath flirting with me if they knew what I was capable of. Do you understand now, Emily? Not everyone is a glutton for punishment who longs for my fangs like you. I merely spoke with them to kill time—nothing more. Yet that look on your face tells me you thought it was something serious… Heh, not bad. Usually you appear so innocent and kind, but now envy is written all over you. I want to know what that tastes like."
Using the impressive length of his tie as a rope, Ruki swiftly and skillfully knotted her wrists to the base of the metal bedpost above her own shimmery peach tresses, smirking at the sight of Emily splayed out beneath him. Hands hoisted on either side of her body, the Vampire closed in on her neck until his frost breath snaked over her own bowtie which unraveled in a matter of seconds to expose just a bit of her chest as well in its pristine condition.
"Truth be told, I didn't think you would go that far. Even so, I don't take kindly to the unsolicited humiliation. Perhaps this bite will prove to you that you're the only prey I need to get my fill of blood."
Moisture-laden tips of his black hair lightly brushed over the Sirena's skin as Ruki descended his fangs into the unmarred area between the base of her throat and above her delicate mounds. A surge of crimson burst through her chest accompanied by the Vampire's eager tongue to assuage the pain, licking stripes up the new gashes he carved into her adipose. Knowing that she most likely couldn't break free from the restraints of his tie any time soon only further fueled the ignited rapture that swallowed him whole even more so than the water that doused him at school. Somehow, Emily's delectable life essence awakened his baser desires, yearning to pillage mouthful after cloying mouthful. Several impassioned moans poured out of Ruki just like the blood spilling from her chest as he exulted in the warmth, coppery sensation coursing through like electricity in every limb and appendage of his being.
"Haah… Only you, Emily… Only you can make me feel this way. I wouldn't suck blood from anyone else after baring my fangs into you. When you're tied up like this, I can't help but want to bite you over and over again, watching you anguish and go wild from the pleasure. Don't you dare hold back your sweet voice from me."
