Chapter 342: He was using her

"Rrrrrrr!" Sebastian’s growl echoed in the showroom, and Elliana looked into his dark scarlet eyes before gulping.

"Mr. -"

She couldn’t even complete her words when he pulled her back into his chest, holding her possessively, his eyes promising untamed havoc if she moved an inch.

"Don’t you ever dare to hide yourself from me? Mine!" His voice was low, but it was loud enough to send chills down people’s spines.

He held her hand and twisted it behind her back before pulling her close again, forcing his lips on her, making everyone look away immediately.

"Mmmmhhh!" Elliana moaned in displeasure and tried to push him away as he kissed her with an urgency and roughness that she hadn’t felt before.

The vampires in the shop felt bad for the human girl. They thought the prince was harassing her, but what they didn’t see was Elliana sneaking her hand on his chest and tugging his shirt with a jerk.

She fisted her hand around his shirt and tugged it so hard that the sound of cloth tearing echoed in the silent hall, making everyone’s heartbeat increase.

They couldn’t even fathom what the prince must’ve done to the human girl. They feared the worst and thought he tore her clothes in sheer anger.

Everyone knew the youngest prince as the most dangerous person, and it wouldn’t come off as surprising, but hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes were two different things.

Sebastian, who was also taken aback by the sudden aggression in her, immediately stopped kissing her and looked at her with raised brows, his nails going back to normal and eyes turning to a bright shade of hazel, almost glowing in the light.

"Princess -" Sebastian started, quite surprised that his innocent and naive princess would do something like that in a place full of people.

"Tit for tat, Mr. Marino. You told me that day I shouldn’t be fearing anyone, not even you because you will always protect me, even from yourself," Elliana raised her gaze to meet his, wiping the blood from her lips, which Sebastian didn’t even realize about until she licked her lips.

"So I am going to take you up on those words and give you exactly what you have to offer. If aggression and possessiveness are your language, I will speak the same emotions," she said before she raised her hand and wiped the corner of his lips.

Sebastian couldn’t speak anything for a good few seconds.

She took his blood without his permission again! How dare she! Does she not remember that among the two of them, she is the human and he is the Vampire?!

The nerve of this girl!

"You!" Sebastian pushed her back until her back hit the wall, and he kissed her aggressively again, biting her lips in anger to taste her sweet intoxicating blood, the blood that he had been trying his best to avoid.

His hands instinctively went to her chest and she arched her back.

She hated herself for reacting to his provocation earlier. It was wrong in so many ways. They were surrounded by a group of vampires who weren’t even able to look at them because of shame and look at them...

Sebastian grabbed her wrists in his left hand and pinned them above her head to stop her from doing more damage to his clothes.

He kissed her again, more passionately this time. Her lips were like a Nirvana galaxy where he wanted to get lost and never recover. It was the taste of the sweetest candy in the world, and he wanted to keep tasting it even when he didn’t like sweet things.

He wanted to drink her, devour her and -

"Mr. Marino, this is not the right time... Please..." Elliana said with great difficulty at the same time she heard a voice that made her widen her eyes.

"Is this the showroom? This is amazing," Melony’s voice echoed in the hall, and Elliana pushed Sebastian harshly before evening her dress as if she didn’t even know him.

Sebastian didn’t need to be told twice what was happening.

He looked at the girl in front of him with an insatiable desire before snarling lowly in his throat.

"Bring me a shirt," Sebastian hissed, and the manager, who finally managed to sneak a glance at the prince was shocked to see that it was the prince whose clothes were torn earlier.

He daringly peeked towards the princess who was standing just fine, a little short of breath.

The manager immediately nodded at one of the workers who rushed to the men’s section to bring the shirt.

"Blue," Sebastian said to Elliana before he walked towards where the worker went, leaving her with a sigh.

Elliana looked at her hands to calm her ragged breath as she turned away from everyone.

After checking her appearance in the mirror, she went to a blue dress that was displayed on the mannequin and pretended to examine it.

"I am thinking of going with something peach this time, it will bring out my black hair even more, no?" Samantha said, and Melony hummed.

"Which color should I -"

"Elliana?" Melony asked, surprised.

Elliana turned around with a fake surprise on her face as she looked at them.

"Oh, you guys?" She asked.

Samantha rushed to them and Melony squeaked.

"Are you here to buy a gown too? Is your guardian here with you? It’s about time we meet him," Melony squealed in joy, and Elliana looked at them awkwardly.

Her guardian was indeed here, but he was definitely not what they might think he was.

"Well, I am indeed buying a gown, but I am here with -" Before Elliana could complete her sentence, Dexter attacked her from behind.

"Isn’t this the troublemaker?" He put her in a headlock, making Eliana pat his hand before she glared at him as soon as she got herself free.

"What are you doing here? I can understand them, but you?" Elliana was surprised by his presence.

It was surprising how well he was bonding with other vampire kids in his social circle when he didn’t talk to any of them earlier.

"What can I say? Something told me that I will be meeting my partner here," Dexter winked, and Elliana rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, out of the showroom, a few vampires looked inside the shop with menacing gazes.

"Are you sure she is the one?" One of them asked, and the leader leading the mission looked at the photo in his hand.

"She is the one. The order is to render her in a condition that she wouldn’t be able to heal from before this annual ball," the leader said, and the vampires nodded.

"It would be a little difficult. There are quite a few people there and two of them look a bit influential and powerful too," the man said, and the other hummed.

"We have no choice. We will have to take the risk. The council head’s son isn’t here. This is the best time for it," the other one said, and they walked inside the showroom, clad in their suits.

Meanwhile, Sebastian who had gone to wear a new shirt returned and looked at Elliana.

"Does this look good?" He asked her, without regarding her friends’ shock that was written all over their faces.

"I like black and royal blue better. But this looks okay too," Elliana said before she turned back to Dexter, who was looking at her with raised suspicious eyes.

"So you are not here with your guardian. You are here with the youngest prince?" Samantha asked before bowing to Sebastian who hummed.

Elliana glared at him. He knew her friends were here, yet he still came to show her his shirt.

"Well... It turned out that way," Elliana smiled awkwardly.

Melony looked between the prince and Elliana before she grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side.

"And your guardian allowed that? I thought he was the possessive type. Where are your bodyguards now? Shouldn’t they be here protecting you? Isn’t your guardian trusting the prince too much?" Melony asked one after the other, and Sebastian suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

What was the need for whispering? He could hear her pretty well.

"Get yourself whatever you want. I will be in the men’s section. There is a small over-the-call conversation I need to have too," Sebastian said before he turned around and left.

Everyone followed the back of the leaving prince with their gaze before immediately shuffling closer to Elliana.

"You saw his attitude?" Melony asked.

"I know, right? What I think is that someone leaked your secret about having a crush on him, and he is taking advantage of you. He seriously can’t like you back. He doesn’t have that kind of function in his body. A mass murderer. You heard me? He is exactly that," Samantha hushed Elliana, while the shop manager and saleswoman who had seen the earlier act of the prince and this human girl, pressed their lips into a thin line.

"He isn’t taking my advantage or -" Elliana stopped.

Well, technically he was doing that, wasn’t he? Even now, he took advantage of her shyness in public and did all those things...

"See? You stuttered. It means deep down you know that he is using you," Dexter chimed in.

"He is not -" Elliana started before pausing.

"Huh.... Even if he is using me, I don’t mind that. He had made his intentions clear from the beginning. So it doesn’t matter. If my feelings are one-sided, I am happy with that," Elliana thought dreamily, thinking about their contract marriage, but everyone looked at the hopeless girl as if she was some kind of pity case.
