Chapter 184

When the card game ended, Yomite gave Fischl a goodnight kiss, running his fingers through his woman's hair and marvelling at how soft and silky it was.

She giggled and rubbed herself against his touch, their kiss quickly becoming heated and hungry.

When they parted, he looked to Hu Tao, she was jumping in place excitedly, waving her arms and pointing at her mouth for him to kiss her right away.

"What about me? What about me!?"

But Yomite only gave her a chuckle, indicating that he didn't intend to give in to her cute face.

She immediately deflated and sulked to herself.

"Please..." She begged, softly biting her bottom lip, "Do you not love me anymore..."

The disappointment that accompanied her request was evident, and it tugged at his heartstrings, causing him to drop his teasing façade and to do what as she requested.

"Well, if you beg so nicely.." Yomite muttered before closing the distance between them. "Of course I love you." With a playful sigh, he slid down to her level.

His lips fell upon hers immediately, his tongue invaded her mouth and searched for hers eagerly, licking hungrily at the glistening liquid residing there. He watched her expression change to that of surprise as his tongue spread across her mouth, sweetly touching hers briefly. The sound of flesh meeting flesh was like music to his ears, sounding very erotic

She squealed softly and tugged at his shirt to pull him closer, feeling her lower half surging in excitement and yearning to connect with him physically, but he moved away first. He had to control himself, he couldn't allow his hormones to ruin his careful efforts towards approaching Fischl in a sane manner, even if it meant not having sex with Hu Tao for a while.

It wouldn't be fair to Fischl, after all.

He was never in a serious relationship back in his old world, much less in a serious relationship with two women at once. If things went south, then he would have two broken hearts on his hands and would undoubtedly suffer a huge amount of guilt. There would be no good way out of this.

It took all his willpower to refuse his instinctive craving to make love with Hu Tao as she gazed up at him expectantly, breathless and waiting. When he felt his resolve crumbling yet again, he turned his head from her gaze, feeling lost and caught between wanting to protect Fischl's feelings. Even his heart ached, begging him to take her to bed and embrace her until dawn; the image of her curled up next to him with her legs tangled with his, skin to skin filled his mind like an evil spell. But he knew better than to succumb to temptation.

"Good night, girls."

""Good night!""

He shared another loving embrace with both of them before he let them go.

"Goodnight to you too, our amazing Oz!"

The raven bird preened himself at the compliment, ruffling up his feathers proudly.

"Thank you, Lord Yomite. This humble raven wishes you sweet dreams."

Hu Tao glanced over her shoulder once more, waiting for him to turn around and continue where they ended off, but he merely lay down, not looking back at her.

As he fell into his pillow, Yomite buried his face into it, a pleasurable smell bathed his senses.

(What is this smell...)

It was a pleasant aroma, similar to jasmine flowers mixed with incense, evoking sensual images that invaded his imagination.

His eyes widened as he focused his nose to better sense it, the flowery smell increasing in intensity until it became almost unbearable.

(This...wasn't Barbara laying here today? Man...the perfume she uses is...incredible.)

He was a sucker when it came to smell of women, be it a perfume or natural smell.

He admitted to himself.

Once a woman gave off that divine odor, it embedded itself into his senses, unable to resist its sweetness...

And that was exactly how Hu Tao, Fischl and now...Barbara smelled like.

His willpower would crumble under the heat, causing him to lose himself entirely in their presence...

(It's a ploy from her side...guaranteed...whether intentional or not...Barbara...)

On the other side...

Iris was laying on her bed, one arm dangling off the edge, staring into the dimly lit room with a glazed look on her features, only aware of the faint warmth and quiet in the air. She hated wearing clothes, but since it was a stern order from her Master to wear them, she had to wear clothes when she was outside, but as long as she stayed in her room, she was fine without any cloth to cover her gorgeous body, she always enjoyed being nude and exposed.

She was very interested in her human body's changing appearance, becoming more mature with every passing day. At the moment, she was lying down to sleep and feel comfortable, completely nude as usual, having absolutely nothing covering her body.

Her eyes closed slowly, the night breeze giving off a gentle caress as it stirred her bare limbs.

While days in Liyue were as hot as desert sand beneath a burning sun, nights were nothing but cool breezes and inviting blankets of coziness.

She could feel the summer night wind bathing her body gently, making her blood rush slightly faster than usual as though taking notice of her rising temperature.

Lumine lay on a bed next to her, hugging Paimon who was already fast asleep with a few traces of drool clinging to her cheek. It was unknown whether it was drool of the small fairy or Lumine...

A smile formed on her lips as she tilted her chin in the direction of the fluffly fairy with cute pajamas. Iris wasn't quite certain why she loved this little creature with ever fiber of her being, but she did. Adorable in every aspect of the word and so edible.
