Aromatic Velvet Skin
"Tell me. What do you want?"
Tell Zack crazy if he wants to gnaw at those slender, soft legs. When he goes to a jewelry store, he found a very pretty anklet. His fantasy is strong when he imagine the beauty of the bracelet wrapped around Cherie's ankle.
Zack kiss Cherie's ankle. The long legs are in Zack's lap lying gracefully. Zack strokes Cherie's feet with his sweet fingers. It's too soft. They are finally able to meet after more than three months apart due to the many incidents that has occurred in Marvierra.
"Your skin is soft as velvet, your scent is sweet like a rose." said Zack. He said it without breaking eye contact creating an intimate atmosphere without a barrier.
"What do you want?"
Cherie is repeating the same question again because Zack has not given her an answer yet.
"Will you make my dream come true?"
Zack takes out a crimson velvet box then when Cherie saw it she automatically bit her lip.
Cherie really likes shiny things. She rubbed Zack's jaw with the back of his foot and the man responded by giving him a kiss. What Zack wants is to enjoy the fresh meat for dinner but he is still sane at this point. At least he could still control himself even though Cherie's legs are so tempting.
"Make me like a queen tonight."
For the first time in his life, Zack see how skill Cherie is in swinging with her dance. The long legs look very strong but flexible. As she spun on the pillar that stand firm like a swan dancing in the moonlight.
"Come and catch me."
Zack accepts Cherie's hand that is not holding the pole dance. Then he kiss the back of the hand gently, Zack treats Cherie like a queen tonight. In a statue position, Zack tried to lead Cherie's hand so that her body which is holding on to the pole rotated slowly.
"I hold you tonight, Darling."
When their eyes met on that dim night, they realized something else is coming.
"Do you feel it?"
Zack hugs Cherie's slender waist which is slightly wet with sweat, the scent of roses and petrichor is addictive to Zack's sense of smell. Cherie let go of her grip on the pole and wrapped her arms around Zack's neck as the man lift herself up easily. Oh, those hands that wrap around her slender waist felt so sturdy. Cherie is eager to enjoy those hands, they must be delicious and satisfy her hunger.
Cherie brings Zack's hand to his left chest, he wants Zack to know her heartbeat which is pounding hard because she meet the man's gaze.
"Pretty clear."
Zack strokes Cherie's face in the moonlight, his lips starting to dry from being too hungry for the sight of Cherie's feet that are so good at twisting in the air due to her dancing. It is like a paint brush snaking across the canvas awakening Zack's long-sleeping desire.
"Don't hold yourself back."
Zack's eyes open, his caress turning into a grip so his fingernails pressed against Cherie's cheeks.
“Zack, I'm ready to, hmppp...”
Her words stop when Zack bit her lip, she is not going to gnaw at them. Cherie is not prey, Cherie is love for him.
"We will find another way to unite love. Trust me."
Zack kiss Cherie's neck, the kiss goes down her neck to the tattoo on Cherie's shoulder with rose petals flying in the air.
Cherie knows how much Zack has been holding back from gnawing at her body. Apart from the agreement with the government, he also does not want Cherie to die because of his own will. They are already aware of each other's affection. Cherie falls in love with Zack's charm, who is known as a cold-hearted friendly man. Meanwhile, Zack falls in love with a seductive woman who is difficult to seduce from a man's mouth.
"What should we do?"
They lit the fireplace using the remains of the bones. Cherie really likes the smell of burning bones, the aroma is very pleasant and calming. Zack actually likes bones but he stopped the habit since he found out that Cherie really liked that part to be used as fuel for their fireplace.
"What else can we do? We'll find a way. What happen to us before makes me think that there must be a big secret. We don't die after eating each other's body parts. Everything comes back intact. I suspect that there is a secret that has not been reveal all this time.”
Cherie kiss Zack's jaw, she really missed Zack's scent.
“Do you know the myths about the previous Ghoul love story books? Some say they found a way to live together with their Ghoul partners.”
Cherie put her foot on Zack's shoulder. She loves to seduce Zack. They are sitting relaxing on the sofa while enjoying the warmth of the evening fire.
"Are you sure about this plan?"
"Why should I hesitate?"
Zack get up from his seat after covering Cherie's feet, he could not admire his lover's feet for long. Zack is not very good at managing his own desires. If this continues, it is likely that he will devour Cherie's legs. Of course it is not a good idea because he does not know the tricks and facts about their own bodies yet.
"You seem pretty sure of your decision."
"That's what I have to do."
Zack lifts Cherie's body and laid her on the bed, he pulled the mosquito net which is decorated with living leaves. Cherie really likes her room decorated with living plants.
"Give me something sweet."
At first Zack wants to get out of Cherie's bed because he nees to go back to his room but when Cherie asked him with a hungry look, how could he refuse?
"Enjoy as you please."
Cherie reminds herself as she enjoyed Zack's fingers in her mouth so as not to overdo it. Sometimes he looks out of control because she rubs Zack's skin with her teeth so that fresh Ghoul blood flows.
"Hah!!!"
Cherie quickly takes out Zack's fingers which are wet with saliva mixed with blood from her mouth. Zack does not seem to mind it even though Cherie is already soworried that she will lose control of one of the organs that makes her passionate about her lover's body.
If Zack really likes Cherie's long legs, then Cherie really admires Zack's sturdy arms. She could not lie to her own desire that every time Cherie sees a vein protruding on the surface of Zack's skin, Cherie want to enjoy it filling her mouth.
"Nice try, honey."
Day after day they tried to control themselves so as not to kill each other. After a month Cherie returns to Marvierra, she is constantly finding and searching for evidence of the secret behind the forbidden rule.
Why can't a pair of Ghouls be together?
Cherie is able to control her rushing breath. She almost kills Zack. Truly, that desire undermines her even more when there is love in their hearts. They must to be more careful not to sink into each other's desires that could destroy them both.
"I have to find him."
When Zack needs returns to his apartment, Cherie who was wearing a satin red shirt got off the bed in a mess. Her hair looks disheveled with spots along her neck, it's a sign that he enjoys the blood that is oozing out of Zack's fingers. The mark will indeed appear if a Ghoul enjoys the flesh or blood of another Ghoul, the darker the mark, the more delicious the flesh or blood they consume.
"Here he is."
Cherie found the book that she had kept in her small library, she found the home address of the author of the book and she promised to visit the author soon.
"Hopefully he can help me and Zack."
She hopes so, but....
"Sometimes... We need to prepare for all of possibilites, it could be bad and good."
