Hellbound With You novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618 Just a little

Kyle stood as still as a statue, looking off silently into the same direction for a long while even after Zeke had left. He later dropped and fixed his eyes on the floor, motionless, as Lilith watched him. The chain was broken but she didn’t leave or escape. It was not a result of her still recovering from the intense event that had happened earlier, but it was on the grounds that something within her seemed to be telling that it is not the appropriate time for her to leave yet.

After a while, Kyle moved and looked down at her. A wretched expression was etched on his face for a while and then too soon it was replaced with an awkward smile. He approached her quietly and squatted before her. His eyes were bright grey again.

"Are you okay? Did I... hurt you?" he asked as his eyes surveyed her from head to toe and Lilith shook her head.

"You just nearly gave me a heart attack but I’m fine now." she said and a smile hovered on his thin lips despite his apologetic look.

"I’m sorry. I lost control of myself. I shouldn’t have allowed myself to be provoked so easily like that." He lowered his head and ruffled his own dark hair.

It fascinated her how vulnerable and harmless he looked on the outside. Looking at his face now, she already felt sorry for the people who would think this vampire wasn’t dangerous. He was, in her eyes, the definition of dangerous. Just viewing his exterior, that innocent face would fool anyone. There was just no sign of the power and danger that lurked beneath his gentle surface.

A light breeze blew, and Lilith’s red hair was gently lifted to the side. Suddenly, his expression dimmed. "You’re not fine." His voice a little husky and then Lilith felt the back of his hand lightly brush over her collarbones. She felt a sting there and remembered that she might have gotten hurt when the glass shattered in the house as they were making their getaway. It seemed some shards did end up wounding her. "Let me..." he uttered and before she could protest, his head was already bent towards her neck and all she could see was a head of wavy dark hair. When she felt his lips and then, his tongue running over her skin – her wounds – Lilith’s breath got caught in her throat.

But before Lilith could formulate a response to that bizarre action, he backed off almost immediately, looking shocked. For a moment, Lilith saw hunger in his eyes. "That would help it heal faster." He said looking away but his body seemed to have stiffened again.

He rose to his feet and took in a deep breath before offering her his hand. Lilith accepted his outstretched hand, as he grabbed it and pulled her to her feet. As she brushed the bottoms of her pants off, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion as she looked at him. He could tell she was trying so hard to read him.

"I’m bringing you to your home now." He smiled and then he gathered her in his arms and finally leapt.
