Chapter 129: I will take it off
"Your Highness, how does this look?" Alora asked, twirling in her gown as she got ready for the evening ball in the vampire community. After such a long time, Magnus and Alora would attend such an event.
Magnus, who was reclined on the recliner straightened up to look at her. He was mesmerized to see her in the off-shoulder, short-sleeve gown of the golden color. Though the train of the gown was weighty, Alora liked it so much that she decided to wear this gown despite its heaviness.
Magnus approached her in the blink of an eye and lifted her chin. As he began kissing her, Alora gave him a gentle push. "We have to go," she reminded him.
"There’s still time," Magnus replied and again captured her lips. His same hand cradled her neck, taking another step close to her. He nipped her bottom lip, yearning a low cry from her, making him smirk. Nibbling her same lip, he soothed the pain with a gentle lick before claiming her upper lip.
After some time, both of them pulled away while gasping for air. "It’s hard to resist your temptation, Alora," Magnus whispered, his thumb tracing her lips.
She pursed her lips together when felt the brush of his lips on the center of her forehead.
"In this gown, you look enchanting," Magnus told her, his words carried his affection for her.
"I’ve something to tell His Highness," Alora said.
"Speak it, Dear," Magnus said.
"I have to wear the blindfold. It’s an important event for the vampires. I cannot become the reason for any mishap or accident," Alora answered.
"Alright. Wear it," Magnus told her. Though it pained him to see how Alora had to act blind for the sake of the others. He grabbed the blindfold from Alora and made her wear it. As he stood behind her, he grabbed her arms gently, leaning close to her ear, "Alora, during the dance, I will take it off."
