POV From Rin
The moon light spilled through the tall window of my office , pale and silent . I should have been working.
Signing contract , reviewing reports , pretending to be the perfect CEO of Noctis Corporation . But instead , I found myself listening to the steady heartbeat of a human girl outside my door .
Ami Takahara.
Her scent had become familiar - warm looks cinnamon and sunlight. It haunted me . Everytime she passed by , something inside me stirred something I had buried centuries ago .
I told myself I hired because I needed her to keep her close , to understand the strange reaction from that night . The kiss that awoke the thirst and something .....else
The door creaked . She peeked inside , smiling nervously .
" Miss Rin , I made some tea . You've been working all night again . "
I forced my gaze down , away from her throat.
" I don't need now . " I muttered.
She chuckled softly, " Then , may be you just need company ? "
Company.
That word was a dragger . For vampires , "company " meant temptation .
She placed the cup besides me anyway , lenaing close ---too close .
Her heartbeat quickened and I could hear it like a drum in my ears . My fangs pressed against my lips before I forced them back .
Control , Rin. You are not the beast .
But when her hand brushed mine , warmth flooded through me -- electric , maddening.
I caught her wrist without meaning to . Her skin was soft , her pulse wild . Our eyes met .
" Rin ? " She whispered.
I could smell fear ,confusion ...and something else different.
Desire .
The hunger roared . I wanted to taste her - just once . To know if that warmth could fill the centuries of cold inside me .
I leaned forward breath trembling.
But then she smiled -- innocent , trusting. That smile scattered me more than any weapon ever could.
I released her , stepping back .
" You should go home . " I said sharply.
Ami ...blinked, hurt flickering in her eyes.
" Did I ...do something wrong ? "
" No " I said turning back , " You did everything right . "
Whene the door closed behind her . I pressed my hand against my chest ,+---
My heart --long thought dead -- was racing.
That night ,I couldn't sleep . I stared at the ceiling , tasting phantom warmth on the lips
The hunger was still there but now it was --
Tangled with something far more dangerous .
Something I swore I'd never feel again.
Affection .
I , Rin Kurozawa - the immortal who bathed in blood and silence,----- was falling for a human girl who didn't even know the depth of the darkness standing before her .
And I keep deep down . The night would come , when I longer restrain myself .
When the moon turned red again ..... I would break .
