The First Date's Crimson Bite
“Really?” It was just a question, but the childish voice ringing in his ears sent a strange thrill through him. He turned his head. Saying he wasn’t scared would have been a lie. A monster hid inside that small, delicate frame.
“Don’t tremble… It’ll be all right.” Saliva began to coat the skin around his neck. Unlike the affectionate caresses Labella and Idrien gave him, the act of tasting before chewing made his body shake without end. He was afraid. Yet, oddly enough, he couldn’t hide the excitement stirring beneath the fear.
The awkward play of her tongue along his neck sent an inexplicable heat rushing through him. His face burned.
“It might… hurt a little.”
“Ugh…!” Silver hair brushed lightly against the tip of his nose. A sharp tingle spread across his nape where her saliva touched, making his body flinch. Slowly, very slowly, her fangs began to sink into his skin. The foreign sensation at the boundary between neck and shoulder grew more intense with every passing moment. Her faint breath trailed over his shoulder, lightly caressing his back before vanishing.
It wasn’t quite pain, nor could it be called mere affection—the feeling pressed down on him, overwhelming. Soft lips gently enveloped the spot where her fangs had pierced.
“Khh… Lia… ugh…” His body trembled violently at the sensation of blood being drawn. No—her fangs pressed firmly into his nape while her soft lips moved in a sucking motion, and the dizzying pleasure that followed was exactly like the moment of release. A broken moan spilled from his lips.
Instinctively, his arms tightened around Philia’s small frame. The pleasure of holding the tiny girl in his embrace sent blood rushing downward. He wanted to take her. He wanted to ravish her. The urge screamed inside him, maddening. But he also wanted to savor this pleasure just a little longer.
He slowly ran his fingers through her silver hair and gently tugged away the blanket she hadn’t yet removed.
“Auuugh… D-don’t say… hngh…! Auuu…” Animalistic whimpers began to escape her. Her entire body shook as though she were finishing. The sweet peach scent she gave off was far thicker and stronger than any mature woman’s pheromones, pulling Marei in with irresistible force.
Her fangs carefully withdrew from his neck. A small tongue lightly licked over the wound.
—Gulp… Gulp… He could feel the movement of the vampire girl’s throat as she swallowed in his arms. She could no longer even manage proper moans of pleasure. All she could do was cling tightly to Lia’s small body, silently begging for more.
—Gulp… Gulp…
“Auuugh…! Ugh…!!” He buried his face in Lia’s hair, thick with the sweet peach fragrance. His nose brushed through the silver strands, catching the faint scent of sweat and lingering blood. He crushed her against him, holding her head as if he might break her.
—Gulp… One final swallow. Philia carefully pulled her mouth away from his neck. When the ecstasy that had filled his entire body receded, his hands slipped from her in hollow disappointment. A sigh like a lament escaped his lungs.
Bright crimson blood stained Philia’s slowly retreating lips. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes moist. A tiny tongue peeked from her slightly parted mouth.
“Haa… It wasn’t bad, was it?” Her breath, sweet yet faintly metallic, tickled his face. Philia panted heavily, her face bright red. The pleasure of feeding had left Marei’s pants soaked with sticky fluid.
Her red eyes stayed fixed on him, neither approaching nor retreating. She simply looked up. He could no longer hold back. Grabbing her head, he kissed her roughly.
“Mmph… W-wait… K-kiss… hngh… mmph…” He pressed his lips to hers and pushed his tongue inside. When Philia tried to shake her head and escape, Marei let out a low chuckle. He licked lightly at the corner of her mouth, soothing the tense little vampire lady.
“I-if you suddenly kiss me like that…!”
“Are you scared?”
“N-no one’s…! Mmph…!” At her answer, he kissed her again. Her stiff, childish body couldn’t respond properly, yet she no longer resisted. He slipped his tongue into her slightly parted lips and began to thoroughly explore the inside of her mouth, like a budding flower.
“Nngh… Mmm… mm…” His hand held her head firmly so she couldn’t escape, gripping her neck and hair. He tangled with her soft tongue, pushing it down. Whether he pressed or pulled, it followed obediently. He pushed saliva into her mouth, licked along her teeth, then pulled away.
“It wasn’t bad, was it?”
“Haa… haa…” He hadn’t noticed while their tongues were intertwined, but once their lips parted, a metallic blood scent filled his mouth. A faint iron taste lingered on the tip of his tongue.
“Not bad at… mmph…!” He sealed her lips once more. It was their second kiss, but this time Philia began to follow the movement of his tongue. Their pink tongues tangled more stickily, exchanging saliva. Every time he lightly scraped her soft palate, her small body twitched adorably—he couldn’t leave her alone.
“How was it?”
“Not bad… hngh… mm… mm…” He silenced the little vampire lady’s repeated lie by covering her mouth again. With only their lips touching, he opened his mouth slightly. Her small tongue cautiously pushed inside. Her awkward tongue explored his mouth before boldly reaching out to exchange saliva. He guided her to lick along his gums, and they mingled gently.
“How was it?”
“Haa… haa… haa… Good… It was good…” After several deep kisses, Philia’s body leaned against him as if she might collapse. He took her long ear into his mouth and rolled it lightly.
“Hngh…! E-ears are off limits…!” Her body trembled cutely as she let out a small voice. His hand moved carefully behind her back and slowly pulled down the zipper. Still unaware she was being undressed, the little vampire lady only shivered at the simple caress.
He unzipped all the way to her hips and tugged lightly at her shoulders. With a soft rustle, her clothes slipped off.
“D-don’t take it off… ugh…! Auuung…” He took her ear fully into his mouth and began to roll it thoroughly. Thanks to the techniques he had practiced diligently on the twin elves, the young lady couldn’t even properly resist—she only trembled and twitched. Pure white fabric covered her most important parts. Despite her small frame, her body traced soft, adult-like curves. Her underwear clung tightly to her skin, exuding a strangely seductive aura.
When his fingertips lightly traced the curve of her spine, Philia’s body shuddered as if shocked.
“Are you scared?”
“T-this kind of thing… This kind of thing… I-it’s too soon… too soon…!” Philia dodged the question. Yet her trembling voice gave Marei the answer he wanted. Even when he kissed her eyelids and forehead, she showed no resistance. But the moment his fingers hooked the edge of her panties and pulled, she began to struggle violently.
“Lia, do you hate me?”
“That’s not what I’m saying!! W-we only just met today… We…” It was an adorable reaction. To Marei, who had already brought down several women, it seemed that way. Seeing Philia bury her flushed face, he felt not hesitation but a fresh, youthful charm that made him want to ripen her like a sweet fruit. But forcing her now would be a waste.
A dull ache throbbed behind his left eyepatch. He knew there was an easy way. But he didn’t like it. So instead—
“Then, can we do it later?”
“D-don’t ask…!” Her high soprano voice rang out loudly.
“Then, can I ask for one favor?” Philia, who had been avoiding his gaze, glanced at him. He couldn’t picture the same girl who had been licking his neck just moments ago. The awkward way she had moved her tongue during their kiss came to mind—the pure, innocent expression of someone who knew nothing, just like he had been weeks ago. Contrasted with the mature side she had shown during their date, it filled him with a strange, thrilling sensation.
“Let’s bathe together. You bit me, so my pants are a complete mess.”
“I-I… I…”
“You’re going to refuse this too…? Does that mean you hate me…?” She had to refuse without a second thought. But her lips wouldn’t part. Her body was burning hot. Curiosity about what would happen if she stayed still. The desire to be bitten again. The strange sensation from their deep kiss and an inexplicable thirst that wouldn’t fade. Philia swallowed dryly. His suddenly confident attitude was also unbearably arrogant. Refusing now felt somehow wrong. She looked at Marei’s face. Seeing those abandoned-puppy eyes, her body began to move on its own. Her head slowly nodded without her permission. Marei smiled brightly.
Underwear lay scattered messily in front of the bathroom. The white panties, slightly too large for a child yet too small for an adult, were stained darkly and emitted the sticky scent of a woman. The bathroom door was tightly shut. Inside, hot water poured heavily from the shower, steam rising and swirling along the floor, filling the room.
“Lia?”
“B-be quiet…!” At Marei’s question, Philia huddled tightly in one corner of the tub. Her back turned, she couldn’t hide her tension. Dragging her here by force had been easy enough, but that was all.
“Are you nervous?” Philia slowly nodded. Her silver hair, heavy with water, fell to her shoulders. Marei approached through the awkward distance, gently stroked her hair, then carefully embraced her from behind.
“Look at me.”
“…I-it’s touching…” Philia’s body swayed weakly. Ignoring her small, petulant movements—more like sulking than real resistance—he slowly pulled her closer. She flinched hard, but when their red eyes met, Philia turned her head away again, her ears flushing bright red.
“H-hey… I-it’s… it’s touching…!”
“Do you hate it?”
“It’s embarrassing…!” He hugged the little vampire lady tightly from behind as she bowed her head. Philia kicked her legs in the water with a splash, letting out a small “Ugh…” When he gently pulled her shoulders, she didn’t resist. She settled into his embrace.
“I’m embarrassed too, you know? I want to smell you, Philia.”
“A-ah, really… If you say things like that…!! And between my… it’s touching…!”
“What is?” The little vampire lady tried to speak but pressed her lips shut again. Like most non-humans, despite her childish body, she possessed adult proportions. A small adult—that might be the right description. Her plump, firm buttocks cradled his length deliberately pressed between them, yet Philia couldn’t bring herself to speak of it. Whether it was the situation or her own feelings that embarrassed her, she pursed her lips tightly and shook her head in frustration before letting out a small sigh.
“Do you hate it?”
“You’ve been saying that since earlier…” He didn’t need to hear the rest. Despite her embarrassed words and atmosphere, she pushed her hips back further, pressing tightly against him and leaning into his back. Every little reaction made his heart race for some reason. Labella, Erden, Julia, the Ksakru sisters—they were all stunningly beautiful women with their own charms. But Philia possessed a different kind of appeal. If he exaggerated a little, it was the opposite of theirs.
“Don’t smell me… It’s embarrassing.”
“You smell like peaches, Philia. I can’t help wanting to keep smelling you… You’re so cute.” He deliberately made sniffing sounds and tickled her skin with his nose. Philia’s body trembled. Held in his arms, watching the little vampire lady twist her hands together, everything about her felt new. Idrien had been an exception—he’d had to force her—but the other women, while embarrassed, had looked at him with hidden desire or even thrown themselves at him. Philia, however, didn’t know what to do; her eyes darted around restlessly. Her small body was completely tense. The sight was incredibly endearing.
“S-stop smelling me…!!”
“Aww, just a little more. You smell so good I can’t help it.”
“Ugh… hngh…!” He lightly bit the tip of her pointed ear. The young girl’s body struggled weakly in the water, her hips gently stimulating the length nestled between her buttocks.
“You’ve been biting my ears since earlier… hngh… ugh…” When he bit a little harder on her soft, pliant ear that folded and unfolded with the movement of his tongue, it was gently chewed between his teeth. Seeing Philia begin to moan softly, he carefully traced his hands over her still-developing chest.
“Ears… and chest… together… together… hngh… This is weird… haa, haa… It’s strange…” As her voice grew increasingly heated, Marei’s hand slid like a snake across her stomach, then began to caress her lower abdomen with his fingertips.
Weird. It was strange, yet she couldn’t push him away. Was it because of the bite? Or had they stayed in the bath too long? She didn’t know the reason.
“Auuugh…!” The little vampire lady curled her body into a ball, pressing her thighs together at the unfamiliar sensation. Despite her thoroughly defensive posture, Marei naturally embraced her and began to gently press and circle her small nipples with his fingertips.
“You!! You’re way too skilled at this…”
“Lia, are you scared?” At the sight of the young boy smiling kindly, Philia shook her head vigorously. A mix of fear and anticipation swirled inside her, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to show her true feelings to someone younger than herself.
