Chapter 53 - [Bonus ]Promise

The next morning Shen Xia woke up from one of the best sleeps she has had in all her life. She had never felt so relaxed before. She smelled the minty smell entering her nose and smiled softly as she pulled herself closer to the man next to her. She no longer felt like she had yesterday where she felt like she was going crazy. Now she felt calm and normal once again. 

She nuzzled her nose into Kable's chest and even gave it a light kiss. She wondered if the feeling welling up inside her was her feelings for Kable blossoming into love. Right now, she did not wish to leave his warm embrace. She did not even feel that the two of them laying naked together in bed was wrong. She felt everything about her situation right now felt right. Even last night, she felt the two of them doing such naughty things, although embarrassing, was meant to be. She lost herself in her own thoughts as she played with Kable's belly button and trailed her hand down to his member, poking it with her finger. She did not get to see it very well last night, but now with the light of the morning, she was able to actually see it. It had shrunk down, but it was by no means small even now. Being young and curious, she couldn't help wanting to check it out.

Kable, who was awake the entire time, had a silly grin on his face as he watched his little Fluff Fluff play with his body. He did not say anything and let her do her thing. But he still couldn't resist scratching the two ears that were twitching on top of her head. 

"You're awake?" Shen Xia asked, not looking up at all. She was still engrossed with her inspection of Kable's body.

"Mmm… Vampires don't sleep much. We can, but we do not need to. Having fun?" Kable asked. He could see Shen Xia did not seem to be shy at all as she played. 

"Mmm… It looks like a turtle." Shen Xia replied as she finally looked up at Kable with a smile. She leaned up and kissed his lips. "Does it bother you? I have never seen one, so I wanted a good look."

"You can do as you please. My body is now yours to do as you want with." Kable pulled Shen Xia close and kissed her lips. She smiled and nuzzled her nose against his. She even bit it lightly as she giggled. 

"You seem happy," Kable said in a gentle voice. He stroked her cheek, causing her to blush. 

"Mmm… I do not know why but just thinking about you brings a warm feeling to my heart. I do not know if it is love or not, but I do know I like you. Just a few days ago, I was cursing you for being a devil with your handsome face and perfect looking body, but now here I am all because of my own natural instinct lying naked in bed with you. If this is all a dream, I kinda do not want to wake up. If it is not a dream, I wonder if I will be thrown to the side once you leave my line of sight. I have never been in a relationship before, so this is all new to me. I worry about many things, some of which are probably silly to you who have lived for so long, but to me, they are a serious matter." Shen Xia would normally never speak of these things and bottle them up as she tried to figure things out one step at a time, but for some reason, she felt it was natural to speak to Kable like this. To speak her worries out and have him listen to them.  She let out a laugh as she sighed. "That is if we even have a relationship. Kable, can you tell me what we are?"

"Hmm… What are we… Two people, who are pledged to be married?" Kable asked as he looked at Shen Xia seriously. 

His words had caught Shen Xia off guard but at the same time made her feel relieved. She looked up at him and gazed into his deep blue eyes, and asked: "Do you mean it?"

"Mmm.. Since I met you that day in that back alley, I had decided I would try to make you mine. I wanted you to become my wife. Someone who could walk next to me and be my support, and I yours. But I never wanted to push you into anything, although I did have times where I could not hold myself back and visited you at night. For this, I do apologize." Kable's words were full of sincerity. 

"It's fine, I know myself better than anyone, and if I really did not want you there, I would have been more forceful even if I was unable to escape your grasp. But I did not hate your touch and always felt calm in your embrace." Shen Xia pushed her body against his hugging him and pushed her nose into his neck as she continued. "If you really mean what you say then, I, Shen Xia, promise to marry you once I am out of college. If that is okay… I know it may take a few years, but I wish to finish college before anything else."

"It's fine. I will wait as long as you wish. We have all eternity, after all. You already have your second tail, which means your life span has already increased by five hundred years. As I am a vampire, my time is eternal, and as you continue to cultivate and evolve, you will gain more tails. Each tail extends your life spans by five hundred to a thousand years. When you reach your ninth tail, you will become immortal. I will be there with you every step of the way, helping you so that we can always be together. 

"As long as you want me by your side I will never leave it. I will treat you as my queen and do your bidding. This is my promise to you." Kable's words filled Shen Xia's heart with warmth. She could only see the seriousness in his eyes, a warm gaze that screamed he wanted no one but her. 

Shen Xia blushed as she felt Kable hugging her. His embrace brought her warmth and comfort. She never expected in her entire life that she would hear such words from anyone. She had thought she would always be alone, someone who would be forgotten by society. She would go to college, get a job, and then work until she retired.  But that all changed the day she became a fox girl. She met new friends who protected her and helped her. She was even able to stand up to those who kept bullying her, and now… Now she had a wonderful man who was willing to be by her side, who knew about her condition and still loved her anyway. However, he was far from normal. But Kable, this handsome devilish man, was now hers and also a vampire. 

Shen Xia lifted her head and pressed her forehead against Kable's as she looked him in the eyes. "Then we have a promise. A promise that we will only ever belong to each other for all eternity."

"Mmm… A promise."
