Chapter 98 98: Manticore X Dryad [1]



Done with their moment, they began moving from the welcome room, igniting their passion for each other.

Her breasts jiggled as she walked, her flower-like hair swaying about her delicate features, the light flowing from the lamps enhancing her beauty.

Their pace quickened as they exited the waiting room, eager to get to their suite, their hearts pounding in excitement.

"Hello, are you Mr and Mrs Bellcross? I am Evelyn; you're concierge for tonight..."

Evelyn introduced herself as a polite and professional woman, her smile and warm demeanour inviting. She wore an elegant black outfit, a crisp white blouse, and a long, black skirt accentuated by a matching black hat.

But the moment she saw Raven, her eyes widened. 

However, she continued to guide them to the top floor; her golden eyes continued to watch Raven's body as the soft vines of Emily continued to slide along his body under his clothes in secret; her eyes closed as she felt the sensation of his member rubbing along her stigma, as she tried to bite her lower lip to avoid gasping.

Emily held on tightly to Raven, who listened to Evelyn's charming voice explaining the various hotel perks and took his contact method in case she was needed as they stood outside the room with [1] on the door.

The most expensive and luxurious room of the Imperium slowly opened as Evelyn swiped their keycard and began to back away, her golden eyes shimmering as she wished them wonderful memories.

Emily and Raven entered the room, a brilliant white light shimmering as the lights of the most expensive penthouse in the city turned on, greeted by the sudden gentle sound of romantic classical music.

"So this is where you're going to lose your virginity, huh" Raven whispered to Emily, his hands running along her hips while he looked around the room. "It's..."

"...A lot better than my house," Emily whispered, shocked by the high quality and extravagance.

As Raven and Emily stepped into the penthouse honeymoon suite, they were immediately enveloped in sheer extravagance and romance, soft carpets thicker than their bed quilts, and the smooth and calming wallpaper of the hallway.

The opening to the suite's expansive living area featured floor-to-ceiling windows providing breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline and the shimmering lights below.

Soft, natural light spilt into the space, enhancing the room's warm and inviting ambience.

"Raven... it's so beautiful... I don't... t-thank you!" Emily's voice trembled as she looked out of the window, her eyes looking into the distance as her vines and branches spread through the room.

"You are worth even more than this; sadly, I cannot give you more now..." Raven replied as he gently moved her vines.

His careful movements helped them sit neatly around the room to avoid crimping or being damaged, stroking them as if they were her cheeks, affectionate and loving, causing Emily's body to tremble as tears dripped from her eyes.

She watched his reflection from the window, unable to comprehend how he could be so loving, even to her vines and branches... things that most people found disgusting or creepy.

Emily needed to change her focus as she observed the interior design was a harmonious blend of modern sophistication and timeless elegance. The walls were adorned with tasteful artwork, carefully selected to create a sense of intimacy and refinement. 

The open-plan layout seamlessly connected the living area with a dining space, where a stylish table for two awaited, adorned with fine china and crystal glassware. A fully stocked minibar sat nearby, offering the couple an assortment of premium beverages and refreshments.

The suite's centrepiece was the sumptuous king-sized bed draped in luxurious, soft linens and a canopy of sheer curtains.

A carefully selected array of plush pillows and cushions adorned the bed, inviting the couple to sink into its embrace, with a warming romantic touch added with rose petals scattered delicately across the bed, further enhancing the ambience of the honeymoon suite.

A cosy seating nook was adjacent to the sleeping area, perfect for intimate conversations or relaxation.

Plush armchairs and a velvet chaise lounge beckoned the couple to unwind and revel in each other's company. A state-of-the-art entertainment system, including a large flat-screen TV and a premium sound system, offered entertainment options for the couple's enjoyment.

The en-suite bathroom was a sanctuary of indulgence and sophistication. A deep soaking tub stood as the centrepiece, surrounded by an elegant marble and complemented by a rainfall shower.

Fine bath products and fluffy towels awaited, inviting Raven and Emily to pamper themselves in sheer luxury. A separate vanity area with a well-lit mirror provided a space for the couple to prepare for their special occasions.

But the crowning jewel of the penthouse honeymoon suite was the private terrace. 

Emily was overwhelmed by his efforts for tonight; how long did he book this room? Had he planned this for that long, since the moment they met? Surely it was normally booked for weeks... 

She turned to look at him; Raven was currently smelling the various wines as if choosing the perfect one for the moment, his tall, wide shoulders causing her heart to race as she slowly stepped forward.

A grand chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a soft glow over the room and adding a touch of glamour as it shone down onto her, the shadows covering parts of her body, making her look mysterious, as she couldn't help but speak her honest words.

"If you asked me to become yours forever, I'd give you everything I own..." She whispered with a wry smile, watching as he walked towards her holding two glasses of sparkling red wine.

He handed her the glass of wine, a smile on his face. 

"I don't need everything, only for you to stand beside me and show me that wonderful smile."

Suddenly the clock began to sound, showing it was now her birthday. As the grand clock chimed, he tapped his glass against hers, the dark wine rippling as the thick berry and chocolate scent wafted around their noses.

Raven finally spoke with a serious face.

"Emily, from the moment I met you, I felt drawn to you and soon became crazy about you; tonight, I wish you the most wonderful birthday in your life, and I hope this present and evening was enough to show how serious I am."

"Please continue to date me on the premise of marriage."

Raven smiled before taking a sip of the wine; as if it gave him courage, he continued as her blushing and stunned face amused him.

"I can't do anything else anymore. Tonight, I want to make love to you, celebrate your birthday, and have you become mine."

"To hold you close to me every night, to sleep with you and wake up with you, to feel the warmth of your skin against mine, take care of and protect you, and be there for you when you need me the most, to laugh with you, tease you, and always be with you."

"I wasted so much of my life never speaking the words I wanted before; I am a very straight man and don't like taking my time or beating around the bush. I want you to be my wife, Emily. Will you marry me?"

Emily looked away, unable to find words.

Raven held her hand, kissing it gently and whispering.

"I will be your husband, Emily. I won't let anyone take you from me."

Emily sniffled, her mind racing, her thoughts and feelings conflicted by all the emotions swirling inside her.

Despite her being frozen, her vines were blooming with the most exotic and beautiful flowers, each with the meaning of love, passion and delight; vibrant pinks, reds and whites began to fill the room as if he ordered thousands of bouquets, leaving only their path to the huge bed open.

"Maybe... It's fast..." She whispered, sipping her wine before gulping it down as if to gain courage.

"Maybe, for others, it's fast! But!"

"For me!"

"I waited 400 years.... just to find a man that wouldn't find me disgusting, a man that wouldn't flinch when my vines and branches touched him..."

"You sad it's fast... but in those many years, only you..." Her eyes filled with crystalline tears shimmering as they dripped down her cheeks.

"Only you accepted me without a single question or issue... you wipe my vines and clean them, despite being things that easily snap or break..."

"You treat them like you would my fingers... my cheeks.... do you know how much that makes my heart race!?"

"Do you know crazy about you? I am... Waiting for your messages... to hear your voice... sitting at my desk like a fool..."

Emily's vines and branches curled around him, covering his body as he embraced her in his arms.

"Raven, will you please be with me forever?"

"Will you date me on the premise of marriage?"

"Can you please always be gentle and delicate with my vines?"

"Raven... Please become the location for my tree...Mmph!?"

Raven's lips closed her mouth as she began to grasp his back tightly, their passionate kiss igniting the room once again as she felt his tongue spelling out words, causing her body to shudder and her heart to almost explode.

As she began to suck on the tip, he wrote on her tongue in an enchanted trance, "Yes, Emily, I'll be with you forever."

Their passionate kiss slowly brought them towards the huge bed, and the room filled with a rose-like scent, with beautiful red and pink petals scattering everywhere.
