Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 171

Erika

Leviathan, or Levi, tilts his head at me. "That would be me..." he repeatedly blinks at me. "Does that make you uncomfortable? That part about me being a demon?"

"Well..." I gulp, unsure what to say. I don't want to anger him. Dying isn't on my wishlist. "It would be weird if wasn't uncomfortable. You're an evil demon." "Evil?"

"That's what I said."

"Wait... So you think that I'm evil?"

"Uh, yes?"

An amused smile forms on his lips.

Damn it.

I hate to admit it, but Levi is scarily handsome. Flawless in a way that humans are not. I wish I could see more of him... His oversized hoodie hides most of his body, but his face is gorgeous. Dimples, lavender eyes, pale skin, and shaggy black hair. I can't see the top of Levi's head, though. Are there any horns?

Wait, why am I even looking at him-he is the bad guy!

Amidst me checking him out, Levi asks me another question. "Why do you assume that I'm evil?"

His question makes me stop and think. "Oh... Umm... Let's see... You're a demon and want to take over the world, right? That's why you came to the human world."

"No, that would be my demon brothers," Levi averts his eyes. When he speaks, his voice is gentle. "World domination doesn't interest me. I'm fascinated by humans and want them to live. Because without them, there wouldn't be any candy..." Wait, what?

"You want humans to live so that there is candy?"

"Yup," he grins wickedly at me. The guy looks to be in his later twenties, but his expression makes him look like an excited kid. "I love candy. Especially the really sour ones."

I stare at him, flabbergasted. "So... You're a sugar tooth?"

Levi fires me a wink, still grinning. "Yes, but... If you tell anyone about my sugar addiction, I'm afraid I will have to kill you."

Oh-my-god! There it is, the evil threat! I knew Levi was a villain but did I run? No. I'm here entertaining him!

"K-Kill me?" I sob. "But you can't! I'm too young to die!"

"Your age doesn't matter. Death will come for us all-yours just happen to be right around the corner."

I turn to stone, and Levi cracks up at my reaction. He laughs in amusement, and I'm floored. What kind of reaction is this? Levi threatens to kill me and then he laughs-he must be a truly evil demon!

I dry my tears on my sleeve, close to having a nervous breakdown. I have to escape from Levi somehow.

"Umm... After giving it some thought, I think I will take my chances with that orange cat..."

I'm about to slip down from Levi's lap, but he grabs me. Fingers curl around my waist, and I'm yoinked off his thigh.

"No-no-no, what are you doing?! Put me down!"

I'm afraid of heights, and my eyes widen when Levi's face comes into closer view. Pearly white teeth show in a smile, the canine ones longer and sharper than the rest. He reminds me of a vampire. s**t!

I'm not above begging him for my life, but before I can utter a sentence, Levi laughs out loud.

"You should have seen your expression! It was priceless! Your eyes went huge, and it looked like you would piss yourself!"

"M-My reaction?" What does he want with me? Gosh, would I survive a fall from here? I don't want to be held like a toy! "And could you stop moving your hand? Please!"

"Wait, you're still shaking... s**t. Are you actually scared of me?" Levi bites back more laughter while holding my gaze. "I was obviously not being serious about hurting you-why would I kill you for spreading the fact that I like candy? That's silly." "So you're not going to hurt-" I shriek when he stands up. "Wait, where are you taking me?!"

"I'm taking you home. Isn't that where you were headed? That shrinking spell doesn't make it safe for you to walk home alone. Of course, I could break the spell, but it would ruin the fun. Because right now, you need me."

"Need you? No, you're mistaken! I don't need you! Just put me down. I can walk home on my own without a demon's help!"

"Pssh! You would turn into cat food without me escorting you home. You need me, princess."

"No, I can handle that stupid cat on my own! Just put me down and stop walking!"

Levi completely ignores that I'm squirming in his grip. "I'm afraid I can't do that..."

I freeze and then glare up at him. "What, why?!"

He grins again. "Because I don't want to put you down. You would just run away from me, and I can't have that. We are fated mates, little one-you belong to me."

I belong to him?

A burning blush spreads over my face, and I cry in frustration. "Half a second ago, you didn't know what a mate was!"

"Pfft, I know what a mate is... Kinda."

"Really?" I challenge. "Because you told me you didn't know that your kind could have mates!"

"Well..." Levi hums. "I've never heard of a demon having a mate before, but I'm sure it happens... I'm new to the concept, though. I will admit that much. I don't really know what you do with a mate-"

"See!" I interrupt. "You should just put me down since you don't know what it means to be mates!"

"Oh, but I can learn what it means! I mean-pfft! How hard could it be? I just have to fall in love with you and marry you, and then you will have our demon babies."

Have his babies?!

No, I can't let that s**t happen! f**k. Why is this demon my mate?! Levi is batshit crazy, yet my heart is racing so fast right now. Out of fear or excitement? Nobody f*****g knows!

"I'm suddenly feeling so dizzy..." And scared for my future as the wife to a freaking demon.

"Dizzy? Aw, it must be that shrinking spell messing with your head. Come on, sweetheart, I will take you home and break that spell as soon as we get to your place."

I pause. "Wait... You can... You can break the spell for me?"

"I'm one of the strongest demons in existence. Actually, I might be the strongest... Anyway, if you think a shrinking spell is a problem for me to break, you're wrong... But if you misbehave, I might extend the duration of the spell..." "Ick!" I can actually feel the blood draining from my face. I lift my chin and find his eyes. "You can't do that to me!"

Levi's response is to chuckle.

Wordlessly, he presses me to his chest and strokes his hand over me like one would a kitten. It's super confusing because his scent is doing weird things to my brain. f*****g mate-bond.

"I think I'm having a heart attack..." I murmur.

"There, there, remember to breathe," Levi continues to stroke me while I'm hyperventilating. "This nightmare will soon be over. I will take you home, and... Wait, where do you live?"

For a brief moment, I take a break from my mental breakdown and point the big guy in the direction of my home. "That way."

"Thank you... Now, where was I-right! We will have the most beautiful wedding with these giant candy canes standing by the altar. There will be candy floss everywhere and flowers made of candy... Oh, and then we can give our babies candy-related names!" Is this a nightmare?

Levi continues going on about our wedding, but to my surprise, I find myself relaxing while listening to him. His scent is intoxicating, and his hold of me is gentle. Perhaps this isn't that bad...
