Blood Awakening: The Strongest Hybrid and His Vampire Bride

'She seems to be really happy. Does she notice how lovely she is when humming to these love songs on the radio?'

They were heading towards a small town on the coast. This was Selene's desire to visit a place with no links to her family or at least where she could pretend to be normal. Although he didn't mind, it was quite relaxing to be able to sit in the passenger seat for once.

'Ah? I am going too fast~ we are not in the city anymore. Nikolai looks a little tired... is he hungry or bored? I don't know what to say or ask him...'

"Hmm~ hmm~ Nikolai, what do you want to eat for dinner?"

Midway through, humming along, she suddenly slowed the car as they reached the outskirts of the town with a lower speed limit.

"Oh? Ah, hmm..."

Selene tilted her head and peered at him before her eyes narrowed. She licked her red lips and quickly tilted her head back to the road while her dress slid up her thighs as if on purpose. Then, feeling his gaze on her body, she asked in a playful and seductive voice.

"What's that fiery look? Maybe you wanted to eat me? Would you use a knife or something? But, ah, your mouth is better~ right?"

"Perhaps? But this isn't a time for that... Or is that what you want, Selene?"

Nikolai watched her while Selene grinned to herself and then sighed. She found it hard to control her voice and emotions after sleeping with him.

If there were anything that could make this man look like that at her, she would do it, no matter what she needed to do. Selene wanted to make him desire her so badly that he couldn't stop and make love to her. 'I've become such a perverted woman... ever since I met and became his lover.'

Selene made a sound and bit her lips, then snorted while driving towards the seaside town.

After reaching some traffic lights, she turned to the side and kissed him passionately; Selene couldn't help but suck on his tongue while wishing the green light never came. 'Ah...' However, it did, so they continued towards the hotel where she had booked a suite.

"It's strange how beautiful a place can exist so close to the city..."

Nikolai watched the beautiful blue ocean slowly moving, with dozens of families playing on the golden beaches.

[Wait... I think I know this place...]

'Hmmm, do you mother?'

[Yes, but I can't quite remember it's been so long... what am I forgetting?!]

"I also thought this when I was a girl. It looked so much bigger in my eyes; everything did. You would think there would be mermaids here or something... I really believed this in the past. A long, long time ago, the children of this town used to believe this place was filled with them."

"Haha... well, in the past, I wouldn't have believed, but now? I can't help but imagine they do exist."

"Hmph, they better not get in the way of our date!"

Selene grinned mischievously. Her red eyes flickered with a crimson light as if to warn those mermaids that if she found them, they'd better flee.

"Do you like mermaids? Maybe I could try and find the right outfit—Ahem! We could always ask if there are places to see them."

'When did Selene become so adorable?'

"Maybe they'll try to steal me away. Then you would have to rescue me, like the knights that rush in to save their beautiful women?"

"Ohh, is that so? Then it is your fault if I choose to become a beast and devour you whole, Nikolai~ hehe."

The pair continued to joke and flirt, driving slowly as they pulled up toward a strange hotel. Its walls were black, with a gothic-styled sign writing its name.

However, a beautiful path with soft, pretty stones led into the garden, and a small pub named "The Lost Mermaid" was attached to the side. It appeared to be quite an elegant old hotel that had become a modern gothic-styled inn or bed-and-breakfast.

Selene had a bright look on her face as she drove towards it and parked in an open space.

"I have something to admit~ I booked a room here last night. Are you mad?"

"What? Not in the slightest, although I would have liked it if we both had done it together."

"Hehe, okay~ Next time, let's do it together, but I wanted to do something special for you... so please allow this selfish vampire to do something on her own."

She pouted childishly before smirking and waving a hand at the keys. The vehicle's engine stopped, and a soft smile spread across Selene's face. She climbed out before heading around and opening Nikolai's door.

"After you," Selene said gently.

"Why thank you, My Lady."

Selene wanted to act like a valiant knight, although it felt strange... Nikolai didn't mind because of how beaming Selene smiled.

"It's so strange to see her act this way..."

After heading inside, a small group of humans watched them in surprise.

Stay tuned to M|VL|EM|PY|R

Most of the customers inside had eyes that seemed glazed over and a pleasant atmosphere around them. Nikolai walked alongside Selene, whose dark dress flowed along her legs. It appeared quite eye-catching and showed her charming backside.

"Wow, who are they? The male looks so young and attractive... he must be very wealthy?"

"I don't know... maybe they are here to film something? He looks handsome, although... she's so pretty..."

"It reminds me of us in the past~ right, my dear?"

"Heh... Ethel, you weren't nearly as pretty!"

"George, I will beat you come back here!

Selene and Nikolai were superhumans, so the small chat of the old couple now hitting each other with a newspaper and their friends felt delightful and cute. It was an excellent introduction to a seaside getaway and made the two relax even more.

[Oh... I remember this place... I came here with your father over twenty-five years ago!]

'Wow, what a coincidence!'

[Is it... somehow, it feels different...]

'Haha, mother is too doubtful!'

Selene smiled in amusement before she took her bag and then grabbed Nikolai. The pair headed up a winding staircase to the first floor, where the reception for the inn was located.

"Oh... there are quite a number of steps and a rather narrow staircase."

"Yeah~ but it lets me fondle your soft little ass easier without being seen."

"Ahh~ Nikolai, stop!"

"Then why are you rubbing against my hand..."

"Hmph~ who knows?"

Selene playfully complained and pushed her ass into his palms, giggling while she enjoyed the slight ache when he squeezed and fondled her up the stairs. When they reached the top of the stairs, she had a lovely flushed expression, like she entered heat.

Nikolai's fingers almost went too far while stroking her body; Selene was close to permitting him to throw her against the wall on the stairs. If they were still alone, they might've done it.

'Ah... people are watching... Nikolai, you damn rogue!'

Nikolai held onto his lady, and the two entered the small room with a counter that held a beautiful array of roses and flowers.

A young ginger woman stood at the desk, her eyes a little shy, with a blushed pair of cheeks. Her gaze looked down and quickly flickered toward a man who was sweeping in one corner.

She wore a dark Victorian-style dress with lacy sleeves, resembling a housekeeper or maid from an older period.

'Ah, she's so cute!' Selene thought. The style was old, yet the clothes were quite high-quality.

"W-Welcome to the Lost Mermaid Inn. My name is Beth, and this is the owner of the Black Ocean, Robert... ah, I mean, he likes to call himself Bob. Would you two perhaps be guests?"

Selene coughed, trying not to laugh. The girl was clearly a little inexperienced, and the pair instantly realised. This cute girl probably liked Robert, who looked back at her with a knowing smile but kept sweeping and seeing to the first floor.

"That's fine. Beth and Robert? What a lovely place; I am Selene, and my husband Nikolai booked a room under my name... Look for the surname Volkov."

"Oh? It must be the young couple staying for the long weekend in the honeymoon suit. Wow! That room has quite the views."

"That surname... I am sure it's familiar...." Robert muttered to himself before seeming to pay more attention to the couple.

[This man, although a little older... I am sure he is someone I knew in the past...]

Nikolai felt Selene was a master at tricking him. The long weekend? Though he could easily drive to meet Alexei, if this were Selene's wish, he wouldn't deny her this pleasure. He leaned closer and kissed the tip of her ear, whispering.

"The long weekend. Do you want to have sex that much?" His words felt ticklish against her sensitive ears, but Selene showed a mischievous smile and merely kissed his cheek.

"I do~ is there a problem, darling husband Nikolai~? Even now~ I am so wet and want you bad."

Selene looked at his face, a sweet, playful smirk across her red lips. She then winked as she kissed the edge of his lips, causing Beth to blush and her quill to slide across the old-fashioned check-in book.

"You are playing with fire, Mrs Volkov."

"Then let me burn~ my dear husband."

Selene giggled softly and continued to sign the check-in book.

"Doesn't the Lost Mermaid Inn sound lovely, Nikolai?"

[This is where...]

Robert, the man with the broom, suddenly leaned in and stood beside Beth; he smiled at the couple because business was usually slow at this time of year with the bigger hotels.

However, this pair, with their expensive clothes and elegant aura, chose his hotel, which made both of their days. "I thank you for choosing the Lost Mermaid, and I hope you have a wonderful stay."

"The pleasure is ours, thank you for having such a wonderful hotel," Selene spoke with a husky and seductive voice while coiling around Nikolai's arm.

'Well, his mother once stayed here with his father... it was a long time ago, but Nikolai was conceived in a hotel like this.'

[This girl... she's aiming for a home run! This is where I conceived Nikolai!]
