Chapter 19 Raising The Temperature

"Whew..." Irina sighs as sweat trickles down her face. A while ago, that damn chamber was too cold, but Zadok made it scalding with his fireballs.

"Let's get the hell out of this shitty place." Klaus walks towards the door.

"Wait!" But Irina raises her hand towards the vampire, especially towards his stunning bare chest. "You can't go around with just this..."

Klaus looks down and notices that only a small part of his old rags are left after the fight with Zadok; he's not fully naked just because there are still some bands around his waist.

He is not ashamed of his body and is completely comfortable around Irina, but fighting naked is not very pleasant. Yet, he doesn't seem concerned about finding new clothes right now.

"I'm going to kill dozens or hundreds of people before we can get out of this place, so what's the point of looking for new clothes now if they're going to end up soaked in blood?" He asks.

Irina is furious at the thought of Klaus fighting women that way. "You're not going to fight anyone like this, especially that woman!!"

"The Sect Master?" Klaus smiles teasingly as he approaches Irina. "Oh, are you jealous of her, my dear?"

"J-jealousy?? Of c-course not!!" Irina is shy and upset at the same time, but as Klaus approaches her, her eyes are drawn more and more to his bare chest. "It's just that I..."

He doesn't stop approaching her until her raised hand touches his chest; her touch is so soft and delicate that he can't help but love that feeling. "What's the problem?"

Irina doesn't back down and doesn't lower her hand either; in fact, she starts to instinctively caress Klaus' chest, even feeling the slow beat of his heart. "J-just… just change into new clothes, okay?"

Klaus gently takes her wrist and presses her hand further onto his bare chest. "I can't deny you anything when you ask me with such a lovely face... but where the hell am I going to find new clothes in this place?"

Irina gets completely lost in thoughts when Klaus starts to take her hand down towards a 'dangerous' area, so she has to use all her will to regain her focus.

"Here, take it." She extends her other hand to Klaus, offering him a beautiful ornate ring. "I got it from that bastard's body before Zadok burned everything in this chamber."

That is Jared's storage ring, and Klaus feels a mysterious energy coming from it as he takes the ring in his hand. "What is it?"

"It's a storage artifact." Irina explains as she brings her hand over the ring, which begins to glow. "Just channel some of your energy into it, and you'll see a big space inside; you can keep many things in this artifact."

Klaus does as Irina explains, and as he focuses some of his energy on the ring, a vast space the size of a room appears in front of his eyes. In that place are several sets of luxurious clothes and many disgusting items that he doesn't want to take a second look at.

"Amazing!" Klaus is not surprised by the things inside Jared's storage ring but by the artifact.

"Amazing indeed..." Irina nods, though her eyes are focused on Klaus' bare chest. "Ah, get one of those sets of clothes; the biggest one will be enough until we get better clothes for you."

Klaus thinks of the biggest set of clothes he sees inside the storage ring, and it magically appears in his hand. He is very impressed with that magic artifact but doesn't seem excited about the new clothes. "It's too small for me!"

"It's your fault for being a giant!" Irina seems to complain, but she really likes the fact that Klaus is two meters tall now; she loves every part of his body, which is why she doesn't want any other women to enjoy that view too.

Before he can say anything else, she glares at him. "Put this on already! The fabric will stretch, don't worry."

"Yes, ma'am." He doesn't think to argue with his lovely angry fairy, so he starts to put on the new clothes; that set is really new as Jared has never used them since it had a size clearly too big for him.

Since those underpants have never been used, Klaus doesn't mind putting them on, but when he starts to remove the bands around his waist, Irina panics.

"What the hell are you doing, stupid vampire!!" She screams as she turns red like a tomato.

"Oh, are you embarrassed to see my body?" He smiles. "You're going to have to get used to seeing me naked at some point or another, you know, don't you?"

Irina has never been so determined to do something as she is to stay by Klaus' side forever. But she doesn't know how to deal with those new feelings besides having a row of demands to be satisfied before he can have all the advantages of having her as his wife.

"I do not know what you're talking about!" She pouts, but her flushed cheeks make it clear what kinds of thoughts are popping into her mind.

Klaus doesn't want to rush his relationship with Irina; in fact, he wants to enjoy that slowly like the best glass of blood of his life. But he doesn't want to contain his feelings either, so he quickly finishes putting on the new clothes and hugs her from behind.

"Ahhh~~!?! What are you doing?!?!" She gets a pleasant surprise when she feels Klaus' arms wrap around her slim waist and her wings being pressed against his chest.

"What do you think?" He whispers in her ear as he starts kissing her neck passionately. Her body is so soft that he feels like it could melt in his arms.

"The wings, ahhh... be careful with the wings, wahhh~~!!!" She lets out more and more cute moans as she places her hands over Klaus' hands.

As the fairy is moaning very loudly, Klaus becomes concerned about her wings. "Does it hurts?"

"NO!" She quickly responds and holds his hands around her waist. "This is really intense... a little strange... but good!"

[So the wings are her weak spot!] Klaus has a lot of new ideas now that he has that information. He was expecting the usual weak spots, but there's nothing common about Irina, and he loves that.

He continues hugging Irina in that position, but after a few seconds, just hugging is not enough, and the fairy tilts her head back, clearly asking for a kiss.

Klaus kisses her sweet, soft lips, and Irina lets out more moans before getting too shy. He doesn't see the time pass when he is with her, which is very dangerous now.

"I told you we couldn't do this kind of thing before we left this place..." He talks in an affectionate tone. "But I can't resist your charm, my dear."

"Hehehe..." She giggles as she feels quite proud of having such an effect on Klaus. "Yeah, I can't believe we're doing this when we're supposed to be running away from this place… we're certainly the worst fugitives ever!"

"That's your fault for being such a hot fugitive..." He comments as he kisses her more and more passionately.

Klaus' words and touch leave Irina so wet. She's never had those feelings before, and it drives her crazy. Before she notices it, she is taking Klaus' hand towards her most private area; she wants so much to feel his touch there.

The situation is getting increasingly dangerous, and Klaus isn't sure he can stop after crossing a particular line, and that is definitely not the right time or place for that. "We have to go, dear."

"Just a little longer…" Irina begs in a lovely tone; she's feeling so good that she doesn't want to stop now.

"We really have to go." Klaus stops hugging Irina, leaving her frustrated.

But she immediately becomes concerned when she sees the confused expression on his face. "What's the problem?"

"I hear footsteps, a lot of them." Klaus comments as he looks to the long, dark corridor outside the chamber.

"The necromancers?" Irina thinks out loud. "So they are finally coming to face us..."

"Doesn't sounds like human's footsteps." Klaus explains.

"Undead soldiers!" Irina exclaims. "Most necromancers are not like Zadok; his people usually don't fight in the front but instead hide in the shadows while sending undead servants to do their dirty work."

A murderous, excited gleam passes through Klaus's eyes. "Since I arrived in this world, the shadows became no longer safe for them."

Irina never really liked dark stuff, but she finds everything about Klaus so cool, and now she's also part of the shadows, with her fangs and everything else.

She takes Klaus' hand and leads him into that dark corridor. "Let's go; the necromancers won't die alone!"

The couple runs through the corridor toward their enemies. Even though there are only two of them against a whole Sect of necromancers, Klaus and Irina are not the prey there but the hunters.
