Chapter 155: Wandering Spirit
Nikolai no longer dwelled on the matter, but an unsettling feeling lingered inside him. Something seemed off, as he was not someone who would easily pass out, even when drunk.
"I am sorry Lai. Maybe it’s because I’m taking more of your energy than I should," Mineah suddenly said after a terse silence.
’Could that be the reason?’ he wondered. Nikolai was not familiar with the side effects on his body, as it was the first time he had his energy drained like that. However, he didn’t feel weaker at all. He brushed off the negative thoughts and believed that Mineah might be right. After all, he told her she could get the energy she needed directly from him anytime.
"Lai, I think last night I absorbed too much energy from you," Mineah weakly murmured.
Nikolai’s mind wandered to his wife’s passionate actions last night and he couldn’t help but tease, "It’s alright, Mine. You worked hard last night, so I don’t mind if you really sucked me dry."
"Stop teasing me," Mineah muttered with a pout.
Nikolai’s arms tightened around her waist, and he leaned in, gently nuzzling his nose against her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Then pulled back slightly, his eyes locking onto the mark between her neck and left shoulder blades - the same mark he had on his back, the Mark of Eternity.
A mischievous glint appeared in his eyes as he chuckled, making Mineah slightly turn her face and ask, "What’s funny?"
"You haven’t seen my back yet," he whispered, his voice tinged with seduction.
