Chapter 146: Medicine for Healing

Damien placed a soft kiss on Annalise’s temple as he spoke in response to her defense. "It’s alright. You will eventually learn from these mistakes. Besides, I’m here to take care of you, so no need to worry anymore."

His words turned into immediate comfort and surrounded both Annalise’s body and her heart as she snuggled closer into his arms, realizing at the same time that her body was no longer hurting like before whenever she moved.

"Thank you, My Lord... for always being there for me whenever I need you." She whispered sincerely while placing a soft kiss on his jaw before burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Damien tightened his arm around her as he replied, "You are my wife, my soulmate, and one of the most important people in my life, I will always be there for you no matter what."

Annalise didn’t respond and just snuggled closer into her husband’s arms but as she tried to move way more than before this time, the pain returned and caused her to whimper but Damien immediately rubbed his palm over her back, and the pain resided.

"How are you keeping the pain in control?" Annalise asked as she pulled away her face to look up at the second dark lord.

"I’m just using my shadow... but it won’t be able to keep the pain under control for too long," Damien admitted as he started untying the knots that were keeping his black shirt in place.

Annalise watched him in confusion but tried not to overthink as she asked, "I... I have this pill-like thing that Leela gave me..." She didn’t get to finish her sentence before Damien took the pill from her and started inspecting it.

A couple of seconds later, he handed her the pill as he spoke with a slight nod, "This is indeed a good magical pill. You should keep it with you for future use because I’m sure you won’t stop getting into trouble anytime soon."

Annalise wanted to protest but knew better. Even she couldn’t deny that she kept getting into trouble every now and then. "How long will it take me to get better from my current state?" She asked instead as she noticed his hand returning to untie the last knot tying his shirt into place. Even in her current state, her heart couldn’t help but race faster in anticipation of what he was planning.

"You will get back to perfect condition as soon as you will get your medicine," Damien answered as he let his shirt slip from his shoulders.

"Medicine?" Annalise asked in confusion as she slowly pulled away enough to allow him to take off his shirt completely. Though she still managed to cause pain to shoot through her body even after being careful in her movements, at least, the view of the bare upper body of her husband was worth the effort.

"Here, Princess. Take your medicine and heal yourself." Damien said while pointing at the crook of his neck.

Annalise stared at his throat for a while before turning her attention to his face as she asked in pure confusion, "What medicine?" All that she was being able to see was his throat and neck, nothing else.

Damien smiled softly as he pulled her back into his arms as carefully as possible without causing her any pain. "My blood, Princess. It will help you heal immediately. Take as much as you want."

Annalise was left dumbfounded for a couple of moments as she stared at Damien in surprise. His blood - the thought of tasting his blood again sent chills running down her spine but in the most pleasuring way possible.

"Your blood?" She didn’t mean it to come out as a question but it still did.

"Yes, my blood. You have fae blood in you and you are my mate, you have full rights not only to my powers, body, heart, and soul but also to my blood. So, take as much as you want and heal yourself."

Damien’s words were like a siren’s call to her ears as she soon found herself moving closer to him without even planning it. She rested her palms over his chest and shoulder before she pressed her body against his and snuggled her face into the crook of his neck.

Her lips found his warm skin and she placed a tentative kiss on his throat before trailing soft kisses down in a straight line. Her mouth stopped right on the crook of his neck and she placed a long kiss there and heard Damien let out a sigh.

She felt her husband’s hand tightening around her frame while his other hand made its way into her hair and he entangled his fingers in her curls.

Feeling encouraged, Annalise placed another long kiss in the crook of his neck before she let her tongue come out and join the play for a while.

"Princess..." Damien’s voice was low and gruff as he pushed her face against his throat while arching his neck to the side at the very same time to give her more space.

Annalise wasn’t sure if her teeth were sharp enough to pierce his skin considering she wasn’t really a fae but only a descendant of their blood, but as she pressed her teeth against his skin, she felt her canines filling with a weird sensation.

Before she could have found out exactly what sort of sensation it was, she found herself biting down and her canines indeed ended up piercing his skin and entering his body.

The taste of warm blood that immediately coated her tongue made a groan slip through her mouth as she forgot about anything or everything else at that moment and only cared about the sweet elixir that she was drinking.

Damien also let out a long sigh as he relaxed on the bed against the pillows that were arranged against the headboard and allowed his soulmate to have her fill of his blood.
