Sebastian's body was completely wrecked by the ecstasy... by her... by his Izabelle.

He could hardly process anything right now. His mind, heart, body and soul were all possessed by her completely. And all he could do was surrender himself to her, too overwhelmed to even think or realize that she had bitten his neck so hard that it had broken his skin and drawn blood. It was not until he smelled the scent of his own blood that he snapped out of his daze.

The pain from her bite was completely overshadowed by the pleasure that had overtaken him. Or perhaps, even that pain she inflicted on him had somehow turned into pleasure like everything else that she had done to him.

Still panting hard, Sebastian slowly held her shoulders and gripped her. His mind was still hazy, but he had a burning want to look at her face. No... he needed to see her face.

It was like a vacuum that had instantly sucked away all the haze in his brain and gaze. He went very still as he looked at her, eyes slightly stretching wide.

A loud howl coming from the distance echoed in the silence and Elle awakened from her trance. A sharp gasp escaped her lips at the sight of Sebastian's neck.

Then she lifted her hand and lightly brushed at her lips. Drawing her fingers away and looking down at them, she saw the smear of bright red blood on them and her mouth parted with shock and disbelief. How... what had she just... What in the world had she just done?

She started to stutter. "I... I didn't mean to... I'm so sorry... I don't know why..."

Sebastian slanted his head and suddenly kissed her full on the lips, effectively silencing her. As he held her close against him again, Elle became aware of her own slight trembling.

Oh lord... What in the world had happened just now? How could she have bitten him so hard like that? Just how in the world...

He kissed her gently. In a way, it was as though he was trying to soothe her. Telling her that it was alright. That he was alright.

And her body calmed down and responded well to his tender ministrations. Her trembling eventually subsided and his butterfly kisses stopped. His breaths puffed and fanned out so hot against her lips. "Shh... it's alright. It doesn't hurt at all." He told her in a gentle and reassuring manner and Elle stared at the smudge of red on his lips that had gotten transferred from when he had kissed her just now. Flashing her a quick grin, he licked it away until it was gone. And the way he had slowly ran his tongue back and forth across his lips made Elle feel as though he was savoring the taste of his own blood on her lips.

"I'm sorry... I was just... I don't know why I did that." She began to explain before ending helplessly with that excuse. She could not stop herself from panicking. "I just wanted to..."

"You were copying me, Iza. You wanted to mark me like how I did to you before." His calm and gentle voice explained for her.

Elle went silent for a while, thinking over the explanation that he had provided for her before she slowly nodded. She decided he was right. A while ago, all she could think about was the words 'you're mine'. It kept reverberating in her mind and sent a possessive wave rushing through her entire body that it was all that she could think of at that moment. She had been repeating that phrase in her mind as she rocked herself on top of him. All she wanted at that time was to have a way to mark and identify him as only hers. And that must the resulting action that had come about from her strong feelings of possession.

She only knew she had aimed for his neck, wanting to do that marking thing he had done to her without her knowing. But everything else after that had been a complete blur. The pleasure erupted and swallowed her to oblivion that she did not even realize she had really bitten him as what had been imagined in her mind, and in an unforgivably hard way at that!

"I could never... hurt you, Sebastian..."

"I know. Hush now... it doesn't hurt, believe me. You didn't hurt me at all, Iza. And did you forget that your husband is a vampire?" he whispered to her gently, a tender smile playing across his lips even as his voice was filled with helplessness when he continued soothing her.

And then something seemed to have struck them both right at that moment. The word 'husband'. It reminded Elle about the reality that he was not her husband anymore.

Her heartbeats began to thud so hard in her ears. But Elle swallowed hard and broke the silence. "You lied..." she added. Her voice cracked. "It's not true that you can't see me anymore. That you're seeing someone else's face in mine."

Her throat was hurting so bad as she uttered those words brokenly. Her throat felt as though it was constricting, swelling on the inside, making it hard for her to speak. But she forced herself. She needed to open her mouth and speak. "Please tell me... that's a lie too, Sebastian." Her voice was weak, full of hurt but her eyes were still gleaming with intensity. "That we're... really divorced now."
