#warm devotion

Hello I wasn't sure if requests are open but I wanted to request something. How do you think Phainon, Mydei, and Anaxa (separately) would react to a vampire reader who's become addicted to their blood, due to them not being able to have any for a while, and the reader just pounces on him whenever they get desperate enough.

Addiction is Another Word for Devotion

It always started with the eyes.

Anaxa knew the look—your pupils dilating, fangs pressing faintly into your lower lip, that restless shiver in your body like a violin string strung too tightly. He leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled, watching you from across the study as if he had orchestrated this moment.

“You’re trembling,” he remarked dryly, voice smooth as ink bleeding over parchment. “Or is it hunger? I do wonder which one you despise more—your craving or your restraint.”

You tried to protest, but the sharp tang of his golden blood whispered from memory, and your control snapped. In a blur, you were on him, straddling his lap, your lips grazing the line of his throat. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t push you away. If anything, he tilted his head, exposing more skin, the golden-threaded eyepatch glinting in the candlelight.

“Careful, little revenant,” he murmured, one hand sliding to your waist, the other curling in your hair. “Every time you pounce like this, you risk proving them right—that I am a corrupter, a heretic. Feeding you, indulging you, teaching you to crave what is forbidden.”

But his words only made you shudder harder. His scent, his warmth—everything about him was intoxicating. You sank your fangs into his neck, and the taste of his blood was like fire and symphony all at once. Bitter and divine. Forbidden, yes—but utterly irresistible.

He hissed softly, though it was less pain than pleasure. “Ah… reckless. Greedy. Beautifully foolish.” His fingers tightened, nails biting your skin through fabric. “Do you know what you’re drinking, beloved? Not mere sustenance, but rebellion itself. My very damnation.”

You whimpered against his throat, feeding, unable to stop. His heartbeat thundered under your lips, steady and unyielding, and every swallow was like a secret he let you share.

When finally you tore back, breathless, blood staining your lips, he laughed lowly. Not mocking—something darker, more intimate. He brushed his thumb along your mouth, smearing gold across your cheek.

“Look at you,” he whispered, eye blazing with fire. “Addicted, yes… but not to my blood alone. To me. To the truth I embody, the heresy I cradle. You’d burn yourself on my flame again and again just to taste it.”

You wanted to deny it, but he kissed you instead—slow, devastating, tasting his own blood on your tongue. And when he pulled back, lips golden, he whispered against your skin:

“Take it. Take as much as you need. Let the world brand me damned if it means keeping you alive.”

And you knew, no matter how dangerous this addiction became, he would never deny you.

Phainon was the kind of man whose presence eased storms, and yet—you were the storm that broke against him.

It had been days since you last fed. Your restraint was thinning into threads, and he saw it. He always saw. His eyes softened when your hands trembled, when you avoided his gaze, when you pressed your back to the wall as if distance might protect him from your hunger.

“You’re suffering,” he said gently, kneeling before you despite the sheer power he radiated. His hand reached for yours, warm and steady. “You don’t have to bear it alone. Not with me.”

The words cracked something inside you. Before you could stop yourself, you lunged, knocking him onto his back. Your fangs grazed his throat, your body shaking with desperation. For a heartbeat, you feared he would shove you away, call you monster.

Instead, Phainon’s arms came around you—secure, grounding. “It’s all right,” he whispered. “If my blood will keep you standing, then drink. I’ll endure it a thousand times if it means you won’t suffer.”

You sank your fangs in, and the taste nearly made you weep. His blood was warmth incarnate, sunlight poured into mortal form. Not burning, not violent—just radiant, filling every hollow place in your soul. It was too much. It was everything.

Phainon groaned softly, his breath hot against your ear, but he didn’t resist. He only stroked your back, murmuring reassurances even as you fed. “Steady… breathe with me. You’re safe. You won’t break me. I’m yours to lean on.”

When at last you pulled away, tears streaked your face. “I… I can’t control it. I’ll hurt you. I’ll take too much.”

He lifted your chin, his smile aching with tenderness. “You could drain every drop from me, and I’d still rise for you. Because my flame doesn’t burn for myself—it burns for the people I love. For you.”

The confession hung heavy, raw. You trembled, whispering that you didn’t deserve his devotion.

Phainon only leaned forward, pressing his forehead to yours. “Then let me be undeserved. Let me be the fool who gives everything, even my blood, because you’re worth more than my fear.”

And when he kissed you, lips lingering with the faint taste of copper, you realized he wasn’t just your flame—he was your dawn.

Mydeimos was not a man easily taken off guard. His instincts were sharp, honed in battlefields drenched with blood. Yet even he couldn’t always anticipate you when your hunger snapped its leash.

The first time you lunged at him, he caught you by the throat in a single, crushing grip—eyes blazing gold, his voice a low growl. “Control yourself.”

But then he saw it—the desperation in your gaze, the trembling restraint, the way you shook as if tearing yourself apart from the inside. His grip faltered. His chest rose and fell heavily.

“…Damn it,” he muttered, before dragging your body flush against his. “If you must feed, then do it. But do it on me—and me alone.”

You gasped at his words, but your fangs sank into the heated skin of his shoulder before you could think. His blood roared across your tongue like wildfire, molten and unyielding, every drop steeped in struggle and survival. It wasn’t gentle nor intoxicating—but it was battle itself. A kingdom’s grief. A lion’s roar.

Mydei’s hand buried in your hair, forcing you closer as if daring you to take more. His growl vibrated through your bones. “Greedy little beast… You think I’ll break? I’ve endured worse than hunger. If my blood chains you to me, then so be it.”

You fed until you thought you’d drown in his essence. When you pulled back, panting, he was flushed, his markings burning brighter, blood dripping from his skin. And yet, his eyes blazed with something fiercer than anger.

Desire. Claim. Defiance.

“Listen to me,” he said, cupping your face. “You will not pounce on strangers. You will not crawl to anyone else when the thirst consumes you. You come to me. Always me. Do you understand?”

You nodded, dazed and trembling.

His thumb brushed the corner of your mouth, smearing ichor across your lips before he leaned down and kissed you, savage and unyielding, tasting of iron and fire.

When he finally broke away, he pressed his forehead to yours, voice hoarse but certain:

“If you’re addicted, then let it be an addiction you bear with me. I’ll shoulder the hunger, the pain, the ruin. Because I am yours, and you—” his lips brushed yours again, “—are mine.”
