Chapter Twelve

My taste buds exploded. Saliva rushed into my mouth as blood, thick and sweet, coated every inch of my tongue and palate. Iron, the key ingredient I was most used to, but part of me was waiting for the bitterness of cranberries, which never came. No, it was creamy and rich, thick and indescribable, but as I gulped, it felt as though electricity was washing down my throat, sparking through every limb of my body, travelling to every point, and hitting that forgotten spot between my thighs.

My eyes snapped open, focus latched to the shrinking pool under my tongue, which I continued to lick and swallow like a starved animal. Each new gulp sent a fresh sizzle of heat around my body; each pulse landing in the ache throbbing below, an ache I only remembered having on brief occasions as a teenager and when I’d been around Seth, my first and only boyfriend...lover.

Awareness thrummed throughout my body. Each gulp caused my own blood to rush. My heart pounded in my ribcage, the giddy thump echoed in my eardrums. The agony I had felt earlier had already started to subside, the beat in my temples disappearing, the skin of my face tightening, an odd pinching sensation travelling along my cheeks.

My sight sharpened, my gaze fixed to the stones below me which now glimmered with spit—I had licked the slabs clean. Lifting my head, I surveyed the room, which seemed to have come to life, rich and vibrant. The colour, as neutral as it was, appeared to pulsate. I swear I could hear the crystals of the chandelier actually twinkling.

Energy coursed through me. I could feel it the same way I sometimes experienced the sizzle of warning that came when something was going to happen to me. Only, I felt at peace and in a way I had never known. I knew what I had to do, what I could do, and I didn’t feel conflicted. For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel torn.

My ears twitched as I picked up on voices below—muffled, yet, considering it was the first noise I had heard outside of the room, it brought home the point that I really didn’t have the time to just sit and analyse what the hell I had done. But clearly, the blood was working its magic.

Straightening, I looked down at the thick cuffs on my wrists and without a second thought, I tensed my arms and pulled. The chains broke in half, falling at my sides with a rattle. Perhaps I could have done that before drinking. Perhaps the chains were old and close to falling apart due to being over-used so anyone could have broken them. Or perhaps I was just really fucking strong. It was both terrifying and amazing at the same time, but all that mattered was that I was loose.

Crawling out of the fire place, I stood, surprised that my legs weren’t protesting after all the time I had spent cramped up on the floor.
