Chapter 219: Words So Plain
—-
When Ivan was done rinsing the blood from his hand, he found it absurd how they strangely consumed what they literally possessed. Although, taking human blood never did that much effect on him unless it was the blood of a vampire, but somehow, he had managed to control that thirst, and it was all because he had a little lamb to consume his mind, heart, thoughts, and his entire being as a whole. She was the one who had his buttons, and whichever she presses, he would gladly follow.
Stepping out of his bathroom chamber when he was done, Samantha’s small worried face came into view as she stopped pacing. When she reached his side to have a good look at his blood-free hands, the wound had healed, no scars, no nothing, it was almost as if she had illusion the injury, and that made her release a sigh that expressed her relief.
"Thank heavens, my heart was at the verge of flying through that window." She dramatically said to Ivan who cradled her her adorable face to drop a lingering kiss on her forehead. Her eyes instinctively closed at his loving gesture, and a smile so true that it lit her heart and soul, reflected on her face when he pulled back to look at her.
She was happy, he could see it, he sensed it, and that made him happier.
"I never thought that this amount of happiness was capable of existing." She admitted, almost afraid that she might wake up and realize that it was nothing but her dreams. Everything was happening so fast, it didn’t feel real, but why was she concerned? She would hate to wake up from this dream. If it was possible to communicate with reality she would tell it to let her die in this profound joy she had been engulfed in, and holding Ivan like this, Samantha couldn’t stop herself from going into his arms that were now her home, embracing him.
The candelabra was the only source of light illuminating the room, and that was because she had left it burning before stepping out. Asides that, the room would have been enshrouded in complete darkness.
"Is everything happening too fast?" Samantha’s inquiring tone broke the silence, her voice was low and quite hesitant, whilst she felt Ivan’s hold around her turn firmer, like a protective shield yielding her into his endless comfort.
"Too fast?" Ivan murmured a question, as though he found her inquiries silly. "You do realize that I had the power to hold Agathe the moment I figured she threatened you. I didn’t do it because you told me not to, but, however, I enjoyed the outcome of it. Everything is going the way it should be, I do not want any more obstacles in our path, I want to keep you away from all of them, by my side."
