It took a few minutes before Astrid finally drank her fill, though she didn't let go of Erik just yet. Instead, she carefully licked the two small puncture wounds she left behind until they closed by virtue of Erik's regeneration.
She looked like a vision of fragile love, who was afraid of anything happening to her beloved.
Erik smiled and just let her be as he continued to hold her in his arms. 'I'm glad she seems to finally accept it really is me, but I doubt this is the end of it,' he thought while inwardly chuckling.
Finally, Astrid sighed as the turmoil of chaotic emotions finally appeared to be truly calming down. She still felt all the same things, they just weren't rushing around in her head, creating chaos anymore.
Astrid's past [2/3] is coming in a later chapter ;)
If you like my novel, I would love some more reviews right now! (or any other support you'd like to give me)
