Chapter 266 - Master Manipulator

**************************************************

The Achdemon of Gluttony

Prince Ravin from the First Circle of Hell

**************************************************

Ravin's pleasure was like hot coal, it did not flame yet it burned.

As his face loomed closer, Ravin closed his eyes as his mouth slowly descended into hers.

The first thing he did was part his lips to bite into her lower lip to see if it was as soft as it looked—as pink and supple as the peaches. 

'Would her nipples taste so much better if he had licked them first?' Ravin wondered.

Ravin kissed her lightly on her trembling lips, hoping that he wouldn't scare her.

Luna had to get used to the way his lips had moved.

One little thing that might set her off, and Luna will push him away.

When Luna started to relax, Ravin cupped her cheek with a hand while the other one possessively squeezed the nape of her neck.

He pushed his body against hers, pressing her unto the bathtub.

With his mouth wide open, Ravin caressed her tongue with his before he went deeper, coating her Angel's dust-covered tongue with his saliva, marking her as his and not the Archangel's.

She moaned as her fingers kneaded into his bare shoulders, and Ravin ground his erection into her soft feminine belly.

He knew he got her when she had slightly parted her legs.

Ravin dropped his arms to the water.

He brought her parted legs to cling unto either side of his waist as he rubbed against her quim. 

As she subconsciously thrust her breast to rub her nipples against his chest, Luna gasped in surprise when Ravin's hands pulled at the short purple-grey cloth that covered her upper body.

Ravin smirked when Luna let him tug at her flimsy clothing, setting her mounds free from the tube top.

With every piece of clothing he removed, Ravin had considered it a step closer to victory!

As he wrapped an arm around her to stroke her upper back where Luna's Archdemon wings were attached, Ravin's fingers settled under her small chin as he raised her head towards him for better access, sucking her tongue with his lips to get rid of the glitters of silver poison.

When Ravin broke the kiss, he watched Luna regarding him with a dazed look, gasping for air.

Luna's eyes were glazed over, her tongue darting out as she licked her quivering lips.

Chest heaving, her ivory skin was gloriously flushed.

She leaned her weight into him with her knees trembling at his onslaught.

Ravin's lips curved into a slow smile as he brushed his thumb on the corner of Luna's lips, wiping the mixture of his and her saliva. "Would you still allow me to lick your body after this?"

A myriad of emotions flashed across Luna's beautiful face, which was fascinating to see.

In that few seconds, he witnessed uncontrollable desire, a shadow of guilt and shame before it shifted back to arousal, but the last one was his favourite.

His Amare was determined to resist him.

Luna can dream because resistance was futile when it came to his seduction.

Swallowing hard, Luna's hands clenched briefly before she released them. "Yes."

+++

The Archdemon of Gluttony had the sceptre of command all along.

His plan was simple.

To conquer a rival, one must change tactics and perspective, faking a retreat and staging a surprise attack.

Ravin and Luxen had played the game of chess in his Archdemon Chessboard Chamber.

They picked their strongest demon representatives from their Legion as their pawns fight against each other.

The Chess Game's goal was to determine whom Luna would perform her wifely duties.

It was a gamble to sacrifice their Henchmen and High-Level Demons in their Legion in a stupid game.

As the reigning commander, he had to gauge and estimate his own warriors' strength in comparison to his enemies' picks.

It would be a one-on-one battle during the face-off. 

The Chess Board Chamber's floor had monochromatic squares alternating black and white.

The surroundings were an opalescent white light, and the boundaries can stretch to all directions in infinity.

Ravin and Luxen had represented the Kings' chess piece while their strongest President acted as the Queen.

The rest of the chess pieces were represented by a mix of High-level, Mid-Level, and Low-Level Demon Knights from the Legion. 

Ravin never intended to share Luna with Luxen.

He was looking for ways on how to eliminate Luxen from Luna's life behind the scenes.

Luxen was oblivious of Ravin's plans to sabotage Luxen and Luna's relationship. 

Ravin had considered the Chess Game as a joke. 

He had chosen most of his chess pieces from the weakest link in his Legion because he never planned to win.

Ravin had massacred the weakest warriors of his Legion to acquire his Amare.

A small sacrifice for such massive rewards.

He wanted to make Luxen think that he was weak so that he wouldn't figure out his next plans.

Pretending to be weak had made Luxen grew arrogant.

Ravin's brother had let his guard down and messed up everything by himself.

He had deduced that his Amare already had a flagrant hatred with Luxen according to what little information his brother had told him at his Kingdom.

Ravin smirked at Luxen's bad luck because  that was what he liked.

That was Ravin's goal—the end game.

If Luna would be forced to choose the lesser between two evils, Ravin knew she would choose him over any situation if he played his card right.

As her Archdemon husband, he would be willing to oblige.

When that time comes, she would be conditioned to choose him by her own free will.

He couldn't wait for the day that this will happen.

Nevertheless, he had to be patient in keeping up the ruse.

Luxen never knew of Ravin's plans to become a hero in Luna's eyes—a rescuer and a saviour—and at the same time, making Luxen, the villain in Luna's perspective. 

Now, Ravin got her where he wanted her.

Luna was in a warmer disposition to kiss him compared to Luxen, who couldn't even wait.

Ravin didn't have to force Luna because he had already coaxed her to kiss him.

The Archangel came in at the right time, wrapping Luna in that Lotus Flower, marking his Angel Dust all over her body.

Poisoning by Angel Dust would be worth it if Ravin could get close to Luna.

Anyway, it wouldn't affect stronger Archdemons like him.

It would be much easier to conquer his wife once he got past the licking stage and then---

Before his Amare knew it, they would be making Archdemon babies in the next sennight.

Ravin would make it his Amare's habit to get used to his touch and his presence by her own doing.

He would show and make her feel so desired until his only reflection would be mirrored into her eyes.

Luna wouldn't care about anyone else.

After all, vanity was the soul of love.

He would not make the same mistake as Luxen did.

A smart man learned from his mistakes while a wise one learned from others' mistakes. 

Ravin would be more coaxing and inviting Archdemon, who can empathize and understand his Amare, promising the right things and keeping his promises. 

Ravin will let his Amare think that all of her decisions were based on her own free will.

He will make her assume that Luna had all the choices when she had none because Ravin was the one calling the shots.
