167 Scrumptious

Viscarrian Palace.....

“You know I don’t have to eat in order to gain strength right?” Roshan candidly reminded the stubborn woman who went ahead to place a breakfast tray on his table.

“I know.” Came her cute short response. It made him aware of the fact it wasn’t the first time he was saying something like this to her.

“But...” she turned around to look at him, “it wouldn’t hurt to feel like a human once in a while, let’s not forget you’re half human too so basically this tummy of yours would need to have a taste of human nutrients.”

She gave his structured abdomen a light tap, indicating he should eat something before stepping out. The family ball is happening tonight, where they’ll be guests and many family relations gathering to enjoy the moment, and she didn’t need anyone to tell her that Roshan would be drained even before night time.

So she made him breakfast, she was aware of the fact demons don’t need human food to sustain but that occured to pure-blooded Demons only. Since Roshan is half Demon, the situation can’t be plainly the same for him, which is why she chose to try it out today.

Roshan on the other hand, was a bit startled when she tapped his abdomen with her soft palm. What heightened his hormones was when he felt those inexperienced hands of hers go under his shirt to touch his bare abdomen.

From the look on her face, he could tell she didn’t do it with any nasty intention in mind, but he couldn’t stop the fire she was consistently starting to awaken inside of him.

The last thing he wanted was for the annoying woman to touch him, cause he doesn’t trust the self-control in him at the current moment, and he might just be tempted to bite her neck and mark her at the spot if she touches him again.

.....

“Fine, I’ll eat.” Even his tone wasn’t stable anymore as he swallowed the primal desire to eat her instead.

“Yayy!” Anna’s face beamed with joy and she quickly reached for the breakfast tray she had kept on the table, sparing Roshan from her sweet floral scent the moment she distanced herself away.

“I made you strawberry pancakes with some syrup and sausages added to it, it’s a great combo you’ll like it, come.”

She made the glacier sit on the big mattress, keeping the tray beside him and he watched in obvious surprise as the silly woman took a slice from the pancake, ready to feed it to him with a fork.

“Here.”

Without arguing, Roshan willingly took the slice into his mouth and Anna watched in anticipation as the being slowly chewed on the food, waiting like a happy child who was about to recieve the end result of her work.

But to Anna’s detectable stare, his expression slowly contorted into something that she couldn’t possibly understand herself, almost neutral, with no single glint or a smile to show he liked it.

Did he not like it?

“What happened?” She asked the moment he was done chewing, but that perplexed look on his face didn’t dissipate in the slightest.

“I don’t know, I feel something is missing.” He said to her, meeting her blank stare as she innocently blinked at him.

“Missing? Do you not find it appealing?” She asked but Roshan just gestured for the woman to take a bite from the pancake

“Taste it yourself and tell me.”

At this point, Anna’s beamed look slowly faded. She was sure she made it right, and according to what she heard, Roshan was pretty fond of strawberries which is why she added it to the list on her pancakes.

Did the maid lie to her? She hasn’t seen Roshan eating strawberries before though.

Nevertheless, the dispirited Anna reached with a fork to take a bite out of the pancake and the moment she took one slice into her mouth, Roshan suddenly lifted her chin up, making her meet his gaze and the next thing she knew was his lips crashing hard on hers as he deftly invaded her mouth.

Not wasting even a second.

Anna’s eyes went round and it took a lot of willpower to still hold the plate of pancakes in her hand, unwilling to drop them due to the shock that had electrified her system.

The sweet flavor of the pancake got mixed with their tongues as Roshan tentatively claimed the pancake from her mouth, letting its heavenly sweetness absorb them both and Anna felt her grasp against the plate tighten, with Roshan kissing her here and there with no intention of stopping.

She had the urge to hold on to him, to kiss him back and relish in the sweetness. She wanted to cover the torturing distance he had kept between their bodies, but the plates in her hand weren’t giving her that chance.

“Mmmm...” she moaned into the kiss as an unknown ecstasy happily overwhelmed her mind like an unexpected, exquisite thought, and she had to admit that the flavor tasted much sweeter with their tongues entangled like this.

Pulling back, she watched as the sexy demon licked his lips with satisfaction before uttering, “scrumptious.”

Her cheeks burned and she became instantly flustered after hearing him say those words to her, as though it was the best thing he had tasted and her bashfulness chose to display itself now.

“As always, things tend to taste even more savory coming from you.”

“Was that why you asked me to taste it instead?” Her heart was beating in a sweet tempo according to Roshan that it pleased him greatly.

“From the scent of the pancakes, it was mouthwatering enough to eat, I just needed to spice it up a little.” He added with a wicked grin, giving her a chance to think it through and realizing he had tricked her into taking a bite.

“You..” her voice trailed off before the scolding in her tone could present itself. She was too flustered to even say a word to the scheming fellow and just got to her feet, dropping the plate back on the tray and keeping a safe distance from him.

“Eat your breakfast, I-I have many things to do downstairs.”

“You always leave when things start to get interesting.” He temptingly took another slice into his mouth, not denying the fact that Anna made the pancakes perfectly. It tasted too good not to eat, but he wished he could get a chance to eat it all from her mouth instead.

“Care to join me?”

“No thank you.” She cleared her throat while keeping her expression firm, but the blush color on her cheeks really gave her emotions away, leading the glacier to chuckle in a low hypnotizing tone.

“Thank you for refusing, I’m stingy enough not to share it with you, I had no intention of giving you in the first place but I had to act out of mannerism.”

This demon!!

“Doesn’t matter, it just proves you like my cooking which is enough to leave me heartened for the day.” She stuck out her tongue at him, the same way she did in Ark Ville that always irked him up, and today was no different.

“Wait till I deal with that mannerless tongue of yours.” If things were like before, he would have been plotting to cut that tongue out of her mouth, but right now, he wanted to do more than just ‘cut it out.’

The forewarning in his eyes gave Anna the hint that if she doesn’t leave, then she shouldn’t expect to step out until tonight.

And she understood what he meant by that.

“You’re evil!” With that, she ran off and closed the door behind her, escaping the sinful plans that demon had for her.

Roshan always loved watching her play hard to get most times, it made hunting her down even fun and tonight, he was going to shock everyone with what he plans on doing at the family ball.

“Tonight is a night of reckoning.” He hummed to himself, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted his moment. He hadn’t even given the permission to step in before the white-haired Enigma walked in, startling Roshan with his unexpected heavy presence.

“And what happened to you?”

Azazel was about to speak when he saw the glacier eating some pancakes and his voice unexpectedly trailed off at the sight, visibly baffled by the sight of Roshan eating and he seemed to enjoy it.

His eyes squinted in surprise, when did Roshan start having breakfast??

“Don’t even question me,” Roshan hinted as he continued to eat his delicious pancake, “you’re in my chamber’s, I get to do the questioning.”

“I don’t even want to know.” Azazel hissed before shaking off the picture he was welcomed with.

“Why are you here then?” Roshan began as he met his brother’s gaze, and the moment Azazel was done explaining it to the glacier, he asked.

“Where is she?”
