A while ago…
The moment the duo materialized inside one of the mansion's many bathrooms, Alicia immediately reached out and grabbed Zeke's collar before pushing him against the door and kissing him in an almost desperate manner.
Zeke stilled for a moment, not expecting for Alicia to suddenly pounce on him and make such bold move when she was still shedding tears just a moment ago.
And to think that she had literally slammed him against the door that hard and with such strength. It seemed as though this woman of his had very quickly forgotten about how strong she had become right now! Most likely, she had long forgotten the fact that she had been turned into a vampire.
When she finally pulled away from that quick but hard kiss, she was already panting hard. The remnants of tears were evident on her pretty face as some were still clinging onto her long lashes.
"Feel better now?" he asked, smiling gently. Now that there were no other audiences around them, his expression had relaxed and was now pretty readable. "I didn't sing that song to make you cry, Alicia." He attempted to press her against him in a comforting hug, but Alicia did not allow him to.
She kept her intense gaze on him instead, pressing her palms over his chest.
He stared back, waiting for her to speak. But seconds ticked by, and no other words came out of her mouth. Her tears just quietly fell again, causing Zeke to frown in concern.
"Alicia…" he uttered her name as he lifted his hand and brushed her cheek gently. He was worried now as he could see a pain so raw that had replaced the happiness in her eyes from earlier. "What's –"
"K-kiss me… more." She choked out, not knowing how to broach the subject. Therefore, she approached it the only way she could think how to for now. "Make my tears stop. Please…" her voice hitched at the end as she pleaded with him.
He listened. There were deep lines between his brows as his head descended and he kissed her passionately.
Zeke did not like how she was crying in this moment. He did not like seeing the pain in her eyes. He would not mind seeing her cry as long as she cries on his shoulders. But this time was different. He hated seeing that raw pain in her eyes because it just made him falter terribly.
When he pulled away and saw that her tears had not stopped, Zeke latched on her mouth again. However, this time it was no longer passionate and coaxing and gentle. It came at her hard, deep, savage, and devouring. This is the type of kiss they both love the most.
