A Late-Night Encounter

The Mo residence was sprawling, and even traveling from the master bedroom to Bai Xia’s room took a considerable amount of time, especially given the late hour. By now, Mo Hongyi’s parents were either in the study or already retired for the night.

This late, Mo Hongyi had no concerns about being interrupted. Being in his own home, he didn’t have to worry about soundproofing.

To be frank, the room Bai Xia was staying in was so well-insulated that even if someone were playing loud music inside, it might not be audible from the outside.

He glanced at Bai Xia, her eyes glazed over, cheeks flushed, and her body curled up against him, breathing softly. A mischievous smile played on his lips.

“You’ve been quite the troublemaker since arriving at my place, haven’t you?” he murmured, his voice low and teasing. “Well, mischievous little maid, it’s time for a little ‘punishment.'”

“It’s been three days since your last feed. Hungry?” He leaned in close, his breath warm against her ear, his voice deep and seductive. “Tonight, I have something special for you.”

The warmth of his breath against her ear sent a shiver through Bai Xia, and she let out a soft whimper. His teasing had awakened the primal hunger within her, a hunger that was now mixed with the lingering sensation of their earlier kiss.

Her mind was a blur, but she understood the implications of their current situation. They were in Mo Hongyi’s home, and his parents were still nearby. What if they were heard?

‘No, no, this can’t happen!’

Her remaining rationality surfaced, and she realized that continuing down this path would lead to something she wasn’t ready for. She pushed against his chest with her hands.

“M-Mo… please…”

Her resistance was weak, more of a plaintive plea than a genuine struggle.

Mo Hongyi released her foot and easily grasped her slender wrist. With a fluid motion, he rolled them over, pinning her beneath him on the soft mattress. Her white hair spilled across the bed like moonlight, and her small, sock-clad feet were crossed over each other.

Bai Xia let out a startled cry, her red eyes widening in surprise as she looked up at the smirking face above her.

“Don’t want what?” he asked, his fingers gently playing with a strand of her white hair, his tone laced with playful mockery. “A naughty little maid deserves a bit of discipline, doesn’t she?”

His fingers trailed along her hair, brushing against her flushed cheeks, and gently lifted her chin to meet his gaze. His other hand lightly patted her behind with a soft “smack.”

“Yah!” Bai Xia gasped, her face flushing crimson, the tips of her ears turning pink. “M-Mo…”

The contact wasn’t painful, but the sudden embarrassment and the strange sensations coursing through her body left her disoriented, making her want to curl up, but Mo Hongyi held her firmly in place.

It seemed she was nearly at her limit…

Mo Hongyi studied her, his eyes lingering on the glistening tears, the flushed cheeks, and the small feet shifting nervously on the bed. Finally, a satisfied smile curved his lips.

“Want to feed? I’ve prepared something special for you tonight.”

His voice was low and enticing, his fingertips lightly grazing her neck, feeling the quickening pulse beneath her skin. Yet, Bai Xia instinctively turned her head away, resisting the urge.

This was her first visit to Mo Hongyi’s home, and she didn’t want to leave a bad impression on his parents. What if they heard something or noticed anything unusual in the morning?

“Can we… wait until we’re back home…”

“Don’t worry…”

The moment she spoke, Mo Hongyi understood her hesitation. She was worried about embarrassing herself in front of his parents.

A low chuckle escaped him, and his fingers gently caressed her tense back, feeling the slight tremble beneath his touch.

“Relax, once this door is closed, you could shout, and no one outside would hear.”

Wait, were those his lines? Was that even appropriate?

Bai Xia couldn’t help but internally question, but her thoughts were interrupted by Mo Hongyi’s next action. His hand had found its way to her lips, slowly pushing in.

???

Suddenly, a rich, enticing aroma filled her mouth, a strange, sweet metallic taste that instantly shattered her remaining composure.

Her eyes, once filled with worry and shyness, now glazed over with pure desire and need.

That’s right.

Seeing Bai Xia fully under the influence of her instincts, a triumphant glint flickered in Mo Hongyi’s eyes. His fingers continued to tease her sharp little canine teeth, drawing more blood to the surface.

“Bai… Mo…”

“Like it?”

“L-like…”

The girl, already dizzy from his teasing, was now completely disoriented by the allure of his blood, her words slurring adorably.

However, Mo Hongyi seemed less than satisfied with her current address. Usually, “Mo” was enough, but now she should be calling him “Master.”

Although he knew Bai Xia hadn’t revealed her true identity as a blood maid to him, perhaps in her current state, she might inadvertently reveal the truth.

After all, once she passed out, she rarely remembered the details. And if she did, it would be a perfect opportunity to address certain matters openly.

From the bedside table, Mo Hongyi retrieved a small, elegant glass vial containing a deep red liquid that shimmered under the moonlight. It was a special “energy replenishment serum” developed by the Sword Mechanism, specifically formulated for vampires. His father had recently acquired it for him.

According to his father, this serum could partially replace the need for a master’s blood, providing the blood maid with energy while gently nourishing her body, serving as a “gift” from an elder.

But does this stuff really work?

Despite his doubts, Mo Hongyi opened the vial and used his wounded finger to dip into the red liquid. He then pressed his finger, now coated with a mix of his blood and the serum, gently against Bai Xia’s slightly parted lips.

The combined temptation was overwhelming.

Bai Xia glanced at him, her eyes filled with a mix of confusion and desire. In the next moment, she was completely captivated by the intoxicating mix of his familiar blood and the strange sweetness. Her mouth slowly closed around his finger, cleaning it thoroughly.

“Mmmm…”

She let out a satisfying moan mixed with a hint of discontent, her eyes already beginning to glaze over from the sensations of feeding and the serum.
