"W-why?"
"There is... something on your neck. Just turn around." Cillian's tone was so serious that it caught her off guard, as she had never seen this side of him until now.
Slowly, she turned to look at the surface of the door in front of her.
Just as she did, Cillian leaned down, parting his lips as he brought them dangerously close to her nape. His warm breath ghosted over her skin, sending an involuntary shiver through Jade as her grip around the door handle tightened.
Cillian's eyes bled into a vivid crimson as dark purple wisps slipped past his lips and drifted towards the mark. The moment they touched it, the mark sizzled before burning away from her skin, making Jade feel a strange tingling sensation spread across the back of her neck.
Then it hit him.
Her sweet, vanilla-like scent.
