Chapter 25 Emotional Breakdown
Kayden went back to his room and prepared himself for another possible session with Medusa. The sensation of the woman's body and her taste still lingered on his tongue. Kayden could not fathom the amazing aroma of her sweat which served as intoxication for him.
'I want to feel it again, her blood tasted like a delicious wine. I'm unable to decide whether it's her skin or blood which I still desire.'
He stood in front of the mirror to settle his hair while mumbling to figure out what he liked the most about Medusa. Kayden did not want to accept and name the feelings felt towards her because it scared him. Whatever he experienced towards the succubus was different from Anna. [from chapter 1]
Although it was evident that the succubus had some charms due to her race, there was something else which hooked Kayden and was still garnering his attention. He stared at his reflection and saw the crooked horns reappearing due to the influx of the sexual emotions. His heartbeat increased visibly as the little guy poked in his pants.
"Why is it taking so long for her? The dishes were almost done."
Before coming back to his room Kayden saw the remaining dishes which required a wash. That's why he hurriedly went to the bathroom and washed his body, so he could be ready for her to try another round. It was the moment when Ceres had come in and Kayden didn't hear them talking.
When Kayden came out of the bathroom and still didn't find Medusa on his bed, he dawdled towards the staircase while looking for her around. It was already too late for Mr Jones to be awake and Malcolm was already not at home, which left only one conclusion that someone had broken into the house.
"With whom is she talking at this hour?"
His suspicion rose with every single step he took towards the lounge. Kayden had no clue who the person could be although he heard the voice of a man. It was clear Medusa knew the intruder and all Kayden had to do was confront her.
He walked tip- toed towards the lounge but Ceres had already heard his footsteps and took his leave. He could not let Kayden see him or else the whole damned plan would have been exposed. Kayden entered the lounge only to see Medusa' scared expressions, it took him only a few seconds to grasp that the intruder had escaped. And probably Medusa helped him, but why?
"Why did you come back? I was just coming."
Medusa immediately grasped her senses and tried to revert the situation towards him. She remained seated not to increase his suspicion with her panic, however Kayden approached her with gradual questions. He glanced at the dishes and only two were left to be hand washed, indicating she was doing some other work.
"Oh, I just heard a few voices and came to check. With whom you were talking to?"
Kayden inquired and pretend to look around cautiously, Medusa followed his gaze in confusion when he joked about it.
"I didn't know you could contact spirits and talk to the ghosts too."
He chuckled softly relieving Medusa that he wasn't angry over her. But the question still remained there and she had to answer that.
The succubus giggled and approached him with a smirk, she wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted herself on toes to peck him on lips.
"And I didn't know you are jealous of ghosts too."
She playfully threw everything at him, attempting to divert his attention. Kayden pulled her closer from the waist and pecked her back as he swayed a bit with Medusa.
"Of course, I am. You belong to me, you are my blood servant. Only I am allowed to-"
According to Kayden his claim over her should have been a romantic gesture. But Medusa' facial expressions immediately changed, her grieving face narrated the pain she felt at that moment. The succubus pushed him gently and staggered backwards, Medusa stared straight at him expecting he would realise his words.
'Blood servant!?'
Medusa expected that Kayden was seeing her as an equal after the apology. And hoped that after the shared intimacy he would think of her highly than a mere blood servant. But Medusa's hopes and heart was shattered like a glass as she ebbed and dashed out of the lounge. Kayden had no clue what just happened, that's why he didn't chase her or could figure out anything.
"What!? What did I even do now? Did she just get her shark week, because only that justifies her mood swings!?"
He rolled his eyes over her actions and saw Medusa running out of the lounge. Kayden raked through his hair and glanced at the last two unwashed dishes, he rolled his eyes and mustered up the courage to wash them.
Whereas Medusa halted in the midst of the lobby expecting that Kayden would chase her. But soon her last sprout of hope was cashed under his nonchalant nature. Her lips quivered and crying crimson eyes bled the heartbreak, as she rashly wiped off her tears and headed upstairs.
'I didn't know he would treat me like this. Why does he do that? Am I just a servant in his eyes whom he would treat nicely whenever he has to feed on me?'
The succubus headed towards the rooftop with her shaking legs, she could not contain her sadness which clearly affected Medusa' physical appearance. Her cheeks sank a bit with eyes gradually losing the sparkle, the charm of her physical features seemed to be connected to her inner emotions. Now that she was dejected badly by the person she thought loved her.
'He can't do this to me. I….I like him.'
Medusa could not deny the attraction between them but the emotional attachment was just from her side. She slammed the door open and soon was standing in the open air on the rooftop. It cleared her mind regarding Kayden and the realisation was horrible which she did not want to accept.
'He...he was always clear about his intentions. Oh my goodness, everything we had was just one sided, only I was blindly involved in him.'
She gasped and a tear crawled down on her cheek, Medusa slumped on the ground helplessly.
