Chapter 98 The Heat of the Moment
Midnight's heart stopped for a moment as she gazed at Zaroth. "Excuse me?" she managed to mutter.
He leaned back in his chair. "Nothing, I just pointed out that it's like we're on a date together."
Midnight's palms seemed to get a bit sweaty. "Well… it may appear like that from the side, but we are not."
Zaroth glanced at the ceiling. "That is true…" Then he abruptly shifted his gaze to hers. "But it can become one if you want."
'What is that fool talking about?!' she wondered as her mind went into overdrive.
'I mean, I am a vampire, and he knows it—how could he suggest such a thing? But when it comes to him, he is unpredictable. He slaughtered a dozen Purifiers without showing any kind of remorse.'
It was clear that Midnight was busy thinking, so Zaroth didn't interrupt her as he took a sip of his coffee.
'Ah, causing chaos can be so much fun!'
After a moment or two, Midnight asked, "It could become a date, but it's not like you have any feelings for me, right?"
Zaroth didn't seem fazed as he answered, "No, I actually do."
Midnight, not expecting this answer, widened her eyes as she stared at him, unable to respond.
He chuckled a bit as he saw her expression and explained, "You see, I seem to be attracted to the dangerous, and few are as dangerous as you."
"But… you know what I am," she said, referring to the fact that she was a demon—a vampire—but didn't say it out loud since there were other people in the café.
"I do. That's why I want you, Midnight," Zaroth spoke as he moved his hand closer to hers.
She didn't move it, letting him grasp it.
"So, you know how I feel about you," he spoke, his voice steady. "But what about you? How do you feel?"
She took a deep breath. 'This crazy bastard! I wasn't expecting him to come out and say he liked me!'
She was about to reject him but found it hard to say the words out loud.
'Why am I hesitating?!' she cursed herself. She knew that she couldn't trust a human, much less date one!
'...but he did indeed come to my rescue when there wasn't anyone else I could ask. He even left without trying to learn some secrets about why I was hunted by both the Purifiers and my own kind at the same time.'
Taking a deep breath, she met his gaze and spoke.
"Sure then, let's give this date a try."
Zaroth smiled, trying to hide the fact that he was internally freaking out.
'Success!'
After finishing their coffees, they decided to take a stroll through the park. It was currently the middle of the day, so the park was filled with people.
Walking side by side, Zaroth hesitated for a moment but decided to push through the awkwardness anyway as he moved his hand and grasped Midnight's.
Her eyes seemed to widen for a moment, but she didn't object as they continued their stroll through the park.
"This isn't what I thought it would be," she admitted.
Zaroth raised an eyebrow. "How did you think it would be, then?" Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
She hesitated for a moment before answering, "I'm not sure, as I haven't really been on a date before, but I thought it would be more… exciting?" It seemed that she was uncertain.
'Well, here goes nothing, I guess…' Zaroth abruptly stopped and slowly put his hand behind her waist.
She trembled for a moment as it seemed that he startled her. "What are you doing?"
He slowly brought her closer. "You said you wanted excitement, right?"
His lips approached hers. 'But isn't this a little too fast?!' she wondered, but surprisingly, she liked it when people were direct. As such, she didn't move out of the way as their lips touched briefly.
Zaroth felt his blood getting hotter the more he brought her closer and felt her body pressed tightly against his.
As they were kissing quite provocatively in the middle of the park, some people gave them weird looks, but it seemed that neither Zaroth nor Midnight cared at the moment.@@novelbin@@
After a few seconds, both of them pulled away as they took ragged breaths.
Just by looking at Midnight's red face, it was clear that he wasn't the only one aroused.
He was still pressing her tightly against him as he asked, "Do you want to finish this at my place?"
Taking a few seconds to compose herself, Midnight asked, "Aren't we moving abnormally fast?"
Zaroth chuckled at the comment. "True… but the both of us are abnormal by nature."
Midnight smirked as she brought her face close to his ear. Parting her lips, she answered in the most alluring voice Zaroth had heard in his life, "Lead the way."

'Holy shit, it's happening!' Zaroth tried to calm down his wildly beating heart as he walked with quickened steps, Midnight not far behind him.
'I know I should have cleaned up the room before going out!' Zaroth cursed himself as he reached the door of his apartment. His bracelet shined, and the door opened automatically.
He and Midnight quickly entered.
'This is happening!' he repeated in his head as he gazed at Midnight.
Was it because she was a demon and not a human that she didn't seem to mind them skipping a few steps in the dating process?
'Who gives a fuck?!' Zaroth cast aside all doubts as he lost control of himself, picking up Midnight and bringing his lips to hers in a deep kiss. In response, she moved her legs and arms, wrapping them around him.
Zaroth quickly walked toward his bed and laid her on it.
In a second, she extended her nails, making them longer and sharper, as she tore his shirt, revealing his muscular physique that he had built over time at the academy.
Even if they were moving fast, Zaroth didn't mind in the slightest.
Because today, he was becoming a man.
