Ravish Me, Oh Great Wizard King!!!

Mira's stomach quivered and turned to jello. How the hell was she supposed to say no to that?

She leaned forward until her nose touched his neck, inhaling deeply, his unique masculine scent. Then she touched the tip of her tongue to his skin.

Immediately, Zander shuddered with pleasure.

"Just bite. Don't tease," Zander gasped. "I don't think I could handle your teasing."

"I'm not a vampire. I have to lick around, find the perfect spot. Like this." She began drawing small circles with her tongue.

The rumbling deep in his throat began. Deep guttural desire bloomed from within, resonating outward. His voice full of erotic reverberation called out something from deep inside her. His song was rich and dark, drawing her into the drunk stupor of his essence...

"Ummmm. Your skin tastes so yummy." She licked his neck like it was a piece of red hot candy. This candy was getting redder and hotter by the second.

"Just bite me," he growled.

"I have to lube the area up so my teeth have a place to latch onto." She breathed, rubbing her lips into his neck, suckling him. Her resolve to just take a quick chunk out of his neck was replaced by a deep yearning to eat him, just to hear that delicious gnarl again.

Reaching out with both hands, she reached around his head and buried her fingers into his thick slate blue hair, pushing her body closer. Then, without warning, she pulled him down. Her sudden move caught Zander off guard and he landed directly on top of her.

"Ooofff!" He gasped. "What are you doing?"

"I'm just softening you up," she mumbled into his neck. "If you're too hard, I can't get a good bite."

"No, I think it's a great idea! Don't try to escape. I haven't had a chance to bite you yet." She reached out with both legs and wrapped them around his waist, climbing him like a monkey. He twisted his body, trying to avoid her, but only managed to roll to the center of the bed.

She was now on top of him.

Zander's silver-blue eyes grew heavy with desire. He hissed and reached out to touch her face.

Mira leaned closer. She pulled back his blue hair and fixed her mouth onto his neck.

In one swift motion, she sank her teeth in, biting hard.

"Aaaahhh...." Zander gasped. The intensity of the feeling was overwhelming him.

She pulled back. Her saliva was mixed with his blood as a few drops ran down his throat from the bite wound. She licked her lips. It was salty and had a pleasant metallic tang.

"Did it hurt?"

Zander shook his head. "No. It felt good." He shuddered. "Too good."

She reached out to touch his neck, wiping away the fluids. Then she brought it to her mouth, tasting his blood, and licking her fingers.

For the first time, she could grasp the attraction of vampires liking the taste of blood. A few drops, from a man who was this hot, was like nectar.

"I need to clean your wound, or you will get an infection."

"Allow me." He reached up to touch the wound with his finger. A tiny discharge of blue electricity zapped out, touching the bite wound, literally cauterizing it.

"Why'd you do that???" She gasped. "That scar will NEVER go away now."

"That's the point. You've left your spousal seal on me, and I will wear it proudly for the rest of my life."

Mira could only stare at him with disbelief. This man always seemed to do everything in massive overdrive. Nothing was subtle with him.

"It's in a spot that's hard to hide with the normal outfits you Ashryan men wear." She scratched her brow. "You're going to look as if--"

"As if I just made passionate love with my wife the night before...yes I know." He smiled.

"But it's going to look like that every day!"

"Yes." He laughed. "I'm a lucky man."

She sighed. "What I did to you just now--did it mess up your...cultivation?"

He shook his head. "Not at all."

Mira bit her lip. Zander was on his quest to attain a cultivational plateau, which she had no understanding of. How could she assist him, or at least not harm his effort, if she did not grasp the rudimentary of what he needed to do?

"I want you to tell me a little bit about your Elemental Cultivation and why you are not allowed to have sexual relations with women." She raised her chin up with determination.

"Are you asking me this as my wife, or as an alchemist healer?"

"Both," she leaned forward to plant a kiss on his lips.

"Fine. I will explain it to you, but first, let me up, so I can think a bit more clearly."

She crawled off him and leaned back against the headrest. Zander sat up facing her, cross-legged on the bed.

"How do I explain this so you understand." Zander bit his lip. "I can't deny that I desire you. It's quite clear. But I have to reach the next plateau of my cultivation process."

"This process normally takes an entire lifetime, but because I am currently at Grand Master level of Elemental Cultivation, I am able to utilize the Universe Life Energies and exponentially absorb its power."

"This has given me the ability to shorten the cultivation period to roughly around two years."

"What is this Universe Life Energies?"

"This." He reached out a hand and showed her a small blue flame, dancing on the tip of his index finger.

"Oh, that blue electricity that you used to kill the bogwarg?"

He nodded with a smile. "If I can maintain a celibate state, it opens up a vast area of mental space that I need in order to absorb the information that comes from the Universal Life Force."

He opened up his hands. "It will allow for the inner life energies to blossom and expand exponentially."

"This means you should not even be touching me in that way."

He nodded. "This is why monks and nuns abstain from sexual relations. They are trying to reach that empty state. It's not just for show. You can't receive a large amount of information if you don't have enough space to accept it."

"I get it. Kinda like a memory upgrade," Mira mumbled.

He nodded. "I am reaching a critical stage, and if I do not have enough space to absorb the download, I will lose out on very important specifics, which will cause my enlightenment process to fail."

"And then what happens after you reach your energy plateau?"

"Then I rest. And while I rest, I process the information to become stronger."

"No. I mean--will you be able to have normal relations with women after that?"

Zander laughed. "No."

At her horrified reaction, he reached out and cupped her face. "I will never have relations with any woman ever again. Just you." He dipped his head and kissed her parted pink lips, sealing the promise.
