The feeling of teleportation withered away, and my focus came back to me as my eyes landed on the jaw-dropping beauty in front of me. Her red hair was loose and wild as I remembered, while those red eyes with slits that had first looked at me with caution were now filled with boundless love and desire.
The moment we appeared, our eyes met and there was a stifling silence between us before I moved forward. There was no need for words as I hugged her, and her arms wrapped around me with strength, not willing to let go. Her body pressed against mine, claiming me as hers.
We stayed like that for what seemed to be an endless amount of time before we broke the hug. Looking into her stunning red eyes with those prideful slits, I smiled, and my right hand cupped her face.
“I missed you,” I spoke. She leaned in, taking a sip of my lips, relishing in their taste before moving back.
“I love you,” she said, with no hesitation or doubt in her voice. Those words brought a burning feeling within my heart, a stifling love that I too had for this woman who had traveled with me across the world when I was drowning in self-hate and fear, a woman who had helped me break out of the cocoon that I had wrapped around myself.
“I love you too,” I replied before kissing her lips, tasting them, relishing in her taste that I had missed. Having had enough, I broke the kiss, and the two of us looked at each other with questions and ever-needing warmth.
“Let’s go on a date, shall we?” I asked. A sultry smile came up on Vena’s face, one filled with longing. Holding her hand, we moved, disappearing as we reappeared in the city of Sin, the very city that I had brought Nora, the one controlled by DarkNight.
Without any words or actions, we slipped through the city, the artificial night light casting a beautiful glow that sparkled in this city, which stayed as the center region of crime that breeds in this world.
“Not bad,” Vena muttered, seeing the city as we floated way up in the sky.
“Where shall we go first?” she asked. I smiled.
“Just follow my lead.”
With that, I took control, leading her towards our first destination: an expensive and well-decorated restaurant, one of the finest in the world, where the truly powerful only dined. A word from me and everyone was kicked out, their beautiful restaurant and its workers now only working for me.
“Come, my lady,” I said, standing in front of the restaurant. Both of us had white face masks. Vena stretched her hand, giving it to me as we entered through the arrangement I had made, and rows of servants and workers stood in a line, leading us towards the center where the perfect dinner that I had planned lay.
“Did you prepare all this in a moment?” she asked me as we kept walking, to which I replied in a loving tone.
“No, ever since I got control of this place, I designed a perfect date that we could do here, waiting for the day you would return. I even designed the action that will happen later too.”
My words quickly brought a gentle smile to Vena’s face, her loving, obsessive eyes turning towards me before placing a kiss on my cheeks.
“You have no idea how much I want you to take me~,” she whispered in a slutty tone.
“Patience, my love,” I whispered back to her as we entered the huge hall with a single table set in the middle. Walking to it, I pulled out the chair as Vena took a seat. Soon, we were within our positions as the musicians started to play light music.
The entertainers started their duties, and a beautiful imagery play began. All this while, we sat together with Scarlet holding my hand.
“How is this for the beginning of our true date?” I asked, to which she replied, “Perfect…” The smile on her face showed how much she was enjoying the situation.
“So tell me. I thought that you wouldn’t be able to sneak out for another year?” I asked. After two years of traveling together, she had to leave as the Dragon Emperor was getting very suspicious of what was happening. It was hard for me as she was the first woman I had ever fallen in love with, the one that was the light during my darkness.
“I did, but I used the excuse of wanting to see Celestinia. Speaking of which, how is it going with her?” Vena spoke, her gleaming eyes still looking at the performance. Her words caused me to chuckle, as I had told before, she loves me and wants me but due to her inner guilt of me not being her first, her crazy twisted mind made it such that she wants me to have all the best women in the world, a kind of punishment for her?
“It’s going well,” I said as I strengthened my hold on her hands. The talk between us continued as we spent time with each other. Nothing changed for Vena as she spent the time in the Dragon Realm avoiding The Dragon Emperor, who was trying to hold her but she locked herself inside her room in the name of strengthening herself.
“Sigh… he is getting harder and harder to keep in check,” Vena said in annoyance, making me silent. To tell the truth, I had no enmity with the current Dragon Emperor. If all things went well, he would become my father-in-law, yet fate somehow made it such that I ended up falling in love with his wife and now, she was mine.
I in no way enjoyed taking or having anyone’s wife or woman. The thing with Vena and Lora was completely forced, well with Lora knowing the things my uncle had done, I didn’t mind taking everything away from him. But it was different with the Dragon Emperor.
At first, I wanted to keep Vena at arm’s length, to make sure that things wouldn’t go overboard. Yet once again, things didn’t go according to plan, but I don’t regret it. I would take the same action again if I had to. So now, he is someone that I have to deal with in a perfect manner that won’t cause me any issues.
“Focus here…” Suddenly, Vena said, pulling my arm. Seeing her, I smiled and focused on the date, not willing to let this woman feel any bit of sadness or discomfort. Hence, our date went perfectly from there as we enjoyed the show with happiness, talking, laughing, and flirting like the world was ending.
Minutes later, the plates of food arrived, and their smell was amazing as they were served up. Soon, it was just the two of us, feeding each other. Our playful smiles were loving and happy, while the desires we had been suppressing for years slowly leaked out with each playful touch or word.
“I missed you so much,” Vena said, her eyes not leaving me at all, trying to imprint everything in her mind again.
“There were several moments I just wanted to come back here, take you away, and live with just the two of us,” she spoke out her fantasy, her red eyes gleaming with desire, as our hands held tight.
“Shouldn’t we move on to the next thing I have planned for you?” I asked with rapid breaths, but her expression turned disapproving as she asked, “Do you think I’ll be able to hold out until then?”
I couldn’t reply as I felt the same way, my heart beating faster as I yearned to make her mine, to mark her completely as mine. I could see the desire in her eyes too. Vena leaned in, her lips touching my ear as she spoke, “Let’s…”
That was all I needed. The two of us disappeared from the restaurant and reappeared in a high-rise building set high in the city. The room was beautiful with a huge glass wall that provided a stunning view of the city, a huge bed, and perfect accommodations.
“Wait,” she whispered as I appeared outside the room. A few seconds later, she said, “Come in…” and I did.
