It was a simple thought that just crossed her mind. Perhaps more of a silly idea that she came with, one to actually cause a change in that expression that always seemed to be in control of everything. Was she still focused on the embarrassment suffered the other day? Enough to make her come up with this ridiculous idea. Without further delays or planning better, she approaches Sylus silently, her steps light, that smile plastered upon her face indicating nothing but trouble. Veronika says nothing to him, lightly placing a hand on his shoulder, leaning in so their faces are close to each other. A chuckle escapes her lips, as her free hand reaches for his chin, tilting his head and acting fast enough. Without further warnings, she sinks her teeth into the flesh of his neck, not hard enough to draw blood, but enough to leave behind a mark. Yeah, it wasn't her best idea, she knew that. But that satisfied expression as she now leans against his desk just shows how amused she felt after doing such a thing. Perhaps a little proud for that silliness.
unprompted. | always accepting!
❖◇ ▪ ― A shiver traveled along his spine like electricity conducted in his veins, the sensation of her bite upon clean flesh ignited a kind of flame within him. The sting was sharp from blunt teeth, but not enough to draw blood from him. Then again, Sylus was never known to bleed. He was known to be untouchable, wounds healing in a matter of seconds. But this sensation of pain and pleasure... it left him wanting. More.
Red eyes glinted underneath the warm light of his office as he craned his neck down to look at Veronika after she had pulled back. Her mark on him was still throbbing as an unexpected smirk graced upon his lips. That expression of pride, thinking that she had done something great to ruin him. Ah, so it was revenge from earlier. Hah, how petty and naive of her― to think that he of all people would be the bigger person to let this one go by.
His imposing figure rose from his seat, and then one step. It was all it took to close the distance between the both of them. A gloved hand slammed itself upon the blackwood to the right of her. And then his other hand on the left, this time particularly gentle. What a familiar situation she had landed herself in... once again.
Sylus leaned down to meet her gaze, visage barely apart from Veronika's that she could hear the quiet click of his tongue. The Crow tilted its head to feign some form of innocence but the thoughts that circled within his mind were far from that. She had crossed the line and stirred a beast awake after all. Decisions, decisions. How exactly should he return this... "favour" ?
❝ You must be very proud of yourself― Miss Veronika. ❞
A mischievous tone erupted from his lips as he dragged the pause between her name and his statement before. Sylus would let out a dark chuckle as he inched closer, hot breaths brushed against her skin and his lips barely touching hers. He pressed his body against her, reveling in the warmth that seeped through her clothing and his.
❝ Listen, you're getting carried away. But the question I have is, are you ready to accept the consequences of your foolish actions? ❞
Are you prepared to be dragged back into this cage if you ever tried running away?
Veronika could feel the way his mouth moved with every word against hers. Feel the way his long eyelashes fluttered against her own to reveal crimson hues of pure terror. But Sylus retreated after, only to rest his head on her shoulder. He bared his neck to her once more, yet his maw was also readying itself at her throat.
❝ I dare you to bite me again. ❞
And just as you reached the gates of heaven. I will drag you back down to hell and surround you in the flames of my embrace, @niaevum. You cannot escape.
