Vempire Lust

Unable to calm herself, Jisso sits up in bed, the unsettling whispers from her dream still lingering in her mind. The eerie silence of the villa only adds to her unease. She realizes she can't stay alone any longer; she needs comfort, even if it means seeking out one of the brothers.

Quietly, she makes her way down the dimly lit hallway, her bare feet barely making a sound against the cold floor. As she walks past the rooms, a soft, flickering glow catches her eye. She stops and peeks inside to find Rai sitting by a fireplace, the flames casting warm, dancing shadows across the room.

**Rai** (without looking up, smirking): "What do you want, sleepyhead?"

**Jisso** (startled): "Huh? How did you know I was here?"

**Rai:** "My power, babydoll. Now, what's up?"

Jisso hesitates, her fingers nervously fiddling with the hem of her nightdress.

**Jisso** (nervously): "I… I have a request."

**Rai** (raising an eyebrow): "Oh? And what would that be?"

**Jisso** (stammering): "Can I… sleep with you tonight?"

Rai chuckles, his signature smirk growing wider.

**Rai:** "With me?" He leans back lazily, studying her. "What's the matter? Can't sleep because you're thinking of me in your dreams?"

**Jisso** (flustered): "It's… it's not like that! I just… I can't sleep."

**Rai:** "Well, if a girl like you asks to sleep next to me, how can I say no?" He pats the space beside him with a teasing grin. "I'm no fool to turn down an opportunity like this. Come on, I'll sleep with you."

Jisso sighs in relief and slowly sits down beside him.

**Jisso:** "Thanks."

**Rai:** "No problem, babydoll. Your sugar daddy won't leave your side."

He leans in suddenly and presses a soft kiss to her cheek. Her face instantly flushes red.

**Rai:** "Oi, oi, feeling hot from just a kiss?"

**Jisso** (embarrassed, blushing): "Rai, don't tease me!"

**Rai:** "Okay, okay."

He wraps his arms around her, pulling her close into his warm embrace. The steady rhythm of his breathing soothes her, and soon, Jisso feels herself drifting into a peaceful sleep, comforted by his presence.

When Jisso slowly opens her eyes, she finds herself still nestled in Rai's arms. He's holding her tightly, his face relaxed in peaceful slumber. Her heart flutters as she takes in his features—the graceful curve of his lips, his long lashes, and the effortless charm he exudes even in sleep.

*(Jisso's thoughts)*: *How can someone be this… beautiful?*

Suddenly, Rai's lips curl into a teasing smirk, his eyes still closed.

**Rai:** "Are you done staring, babydoll?"

**Jisso** (startled): "What the…? Were you awake this whole time?"

**Rai:** "How could I sleep if my babydoll was staring at me so intently?"

Her cheeks burn with embarrassment, and she quickly stands up, brushing off his teasing.

**Jisso:** "Shut up!"

Rai's laughter follows her as she hurries out of the room, her heart still racing.

After a quick shower, Jisso decides to wear a beautiful saree she had packed in her luggage, something that reminds her of her adoptive mother. The soft fabric hugs her frame perfectly, and for the first time since arriving at the villa, she feels a sense of comfort in familiarity.

Feeling both nervous and excited, she heads downstairs, only to bump directly into Subaru in the hallway.

**Jisso:** "Oh! Sorry, my bad—I was actually looking for you."

Subaru, usually composed and unreadable, freezes. His crimson eyes widen slightly as he takes in her appearance, his expression momentarily softening.

**Subaru** (involuntarily): "So… beautiful…"

Jisso's face heats up.

**Jisso:** "Oh… thank you."

Realizing he's staring, Subaru clears his throat and quickly regains his composure.

**Subaru:** "Ahem. Right, so… why were you looking for me?"

**Jisso:** "You said you'd tell me anything I wanted to know."

**Subaru:** "Ah, yes. I remember. Shall we talk in the hall?"

**Jisso:** "Sure."

She follows him, her heart pounding in anticipation. Today, she would finally get to learn about her father, her past, and the mysterious connection she shares with the brothers. The thought excites her, but deep down, a part of her is also afraid of what she might uncover.

As Subaru leads the way to the grand hall, Jisso takes a deep breath, preparing herself for the revelations to come.
