Chapter 109 - 104.- R18 (THIRD PERSON)

["This is the first time I've written an erotic chapter, so it might not meet your expectations. I wrote this chapter in third person for anyone who'd like to read it that way. I also published another Chapter 104, which is the same as this one but written in first person."]

The clamor of the coliseum faded like a broken echo behind them, swallowed by the cobblestone streets of East Vigil, where the rattle of carts over worn stones mingled with the creak of wheels and the drunken laughter of soldiers stumbling beneath wrought-iron lanterns. Their flickering shadows stretched across whitewashed walls like intoxicated specters. The crisp evening air sliced through like an icy blade, thick with the distant smoke of bonfires burning in the outskirts, the sharp scent of charred wood dancing with dry dust that rose from the cobblestones and clung to the throat. But as they crossed the threshold to the second floor of "The Silent Raven" inn, a rough warmth enveloped them like a living blanket, steeped in a stale aroma that stuck to the skin like a second layer.

The wooden door, splintered from years of use and scratched by careless travelers, groaned as it shut with a sharp thud that echoed through the floorboards—a sound that seemed to seal off the outside world. The bolt slid into place with a metallic snap, cutting off the murmurs from downstairs: the clink of tin mugs clashing amid hoarse laughter, the crackle of a soot-blackened fireplace spitting embers like tiny will-o'-wisps, the weathered voices of merchants and peasants haggling in the dim light with the jingle of coins and the scuff of boots on stone. It locked them in a cocoon of silence pulsing with dark promises, an invisible heartbeat that quickened the pulse and filled the air with a tension you could taste.

The room was a crude sanctuary carved from the city's roughness: dark wooden walls polished with beeswax until they exhaled a resinous scent that mingled with the sour tang of wrinkled wolf pelts draped over the wide bed, their frayed edges reeking of old leather and dried sweat—a reminder of past nights and exhausted bodies. The floorboards creaked under each step like a broken drum, groaning in protest with every shift, each crack whispering tales of forgotten travelers. Three tallow candles burned atop an oak table scarred by knives and forgotten mugs, wax dripping into pale pools that hardened with a faint hiss. Their amber glow cast long shadows that danced like hungry ghosts across the walls, bathing the room in a warm, throbbing light that seemed alive, an intimate contrast to the bloody chaos of the coliseum still pounding in their minds like a distant war drum.

Kaili slumped against the wall with a low clink of her black armor, its polished obsidian plates catching the candlelight in sharp glints that cut through the gloom like freshly forged blades. The reflections shimmered across the metal as if it had a will of its own. Her boots, crusted with dried blood flaking off in dark clots and gray dust from the coliseum, left earthy smears on the floorboards as she crossed her arms in a slow, almost defiant motion. The leather of her gauntlets creaked softly against her chest plates. Her towering presence filled the space, a whirlwind of restrained power that made the shadows retreat, as if wary of getting too close to the queen of chaos who dominated the room simply by existing.

The metallic stench of combat still clung to her like a second skin, a ferrous tang blending with the sweat glistening on her pale flesh beneath the cracks of her armor. Droplets caught the amber light, gleaming like pearls in the dimness—a raw perfume of victory and chaos that thickened the warm air until it felt almost chewable, a visceral reminder of the battle they'd left behind. Sebastián, his torn green shirt hanging off his bronzed shoulders like the shredded remnants of a flag, its frayed edges swaying with each move as if still carrying the coliseum's wind, let out a raspy sigh that puffed visibly in the heavy air—a sound betraying the tension still thrumming in his muscles. He dropped his canvas pack to the floor with a muffled thud, kicking up a small cloud of dust that echoed dully across the boards, a prelude to the storm brewing between them.

His brown eyes, alight with a mix of euphoria and a wild hunger burning in his gut like live coals, locked onto her, tracing the harsh lines of her armor with an intensity that stripped her bare in his mind. He pictured the warm flesh he'd touched before, now calling to him like a forbidden song resonating in his blood. "Kaili, what you did in the coliseum was a damn masterpiece," he said, his voice thick with raw admiration and something darker—an unmasked craving. The words spilled out with a low laugh that rumbled in his chest like a distant drum, deep and resonant, echoing the adrenaline still coursing through him. "That orc didn't stand a chance—you tore him apart like he was nothing, a broken toy not even worth your blade, crushed under your boots like the whole world belonged to you."

She raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a mocking smirk that flashed under the amber light like a freshly sharpened edge—a smile that cut as deep as her words. Her silver pupils glinted like cold coins in the dimness, icy yet sparking with a flicker of amusement dancing in her gaze like a contained flame. "So what, gardener? He was just a sack of meat with too much mouth—don't come groveling over it," she shot back, her tone sharp as a whip cracking through the air with surgical precision. But a playful growl rumbled in her throat, softening the icy facade she usually wore like armor—a veiled invitation slipping between them like an unseen current, hooking him instantly.

Sebastián grinned, a wild spark igniting his gaze as he dug into his pack with near-feverish determination. His calloused fingers, rough from years of tearing roots from the earth under scorching suns, brushed the worn canvas with impatient strokes until they closed around a glass vial he guarded like stolen treasure—a small reliquary of liquid promises. He pulled it out with a slow, deliberate motion, holding it between his fingers like a sacred artifact. The liquid inside—a swirl of vivid greens and soft golds, wild mint crushed at dawn by clumsy hands beside a crackling fire, dried lavender gathered under a full moon with night's scent still clinging to its petals, citrus squeezed from ripe fruit still smelling of sun and soil—glowed under the flickering candlelight like an elixir plucked from a fever dream, a promise slicing through the gloom with its radiance.

He uncorked it with a soft pop that echoed in the silence like a distant shot, and a burst of fresh fragrance exploded into the air like an icy lash, cutting through the stale heat and metallic reek of combat with a tangy sweetness that dazed the senses. It filled the room until each deep breath stretched the chest, a scent that roused the skin like an invisible caress and quickened the pulse with its potency. "I'm not groveling—yet," he said, winking with a boldness that burned his tongue like strong liquor. He poured the oil into his palms, the liquid slipping between his fingers with a faint splash that broke the quiet like a wet heartbeat—a sound promising more than words could hold.

"You're tense after that fight, 'queen.' You earned this—I'm going to make you burn tonight, more than that coliseum ever could," he vowed, his voice low but laced with raw intent that left no room for doubt. A spark of defiance flickered in his eyes, meeting hers without flinching—a silent challenge hanging between them like a taut wire. He rubbed his hands with slow, deliberate strokes, the oil warming between his palms until a faint vapor rose like a whisper, shimmering in the amber light as if he held liquid fire. The glow bathed his bronzed fingers in an almost unearthly sheen, droplets reflecting the candle flames in tiny sparks that danced across his hands.

She let out a sharp huff that rang like an icy blade striking stone, a sound slicing the air with dagger-like precision. Uncurling her arms, her armor clinked with a vibration that echoed off the walls like a distant battle cry, metal grinding against itself with a crunch that filled the space. "Make me burn? Those clumsy hands couldn't spark a flame in wet wood," she growled, her tone edged with dripping disdain. Yet she didn't pull away, her stance easing just enough as her silver eyes tracked him with keen curiosity—a mix of mockery and anticipation glinting in her gaze like a contained flame, igniting him like a torch in the dark. He stepped closer, the creak of his boots against the floorboards setting a rhythm that quickened the room's pulse—a drumbeat echoing in his bones like a call to action.

Sebastián took another step, the heat of his body brushing the air between them like an invisible current crackling with tension. He pressed his oily hands to Kaili's shoulders, the black plates of her armor cold under his palms like the scales of a sleeping dragon—hard and smooth, an icy contrast to the warmth radiating from his fingers. He rubbed with firm pressure, the oil sliding uselessly against the metal with a wet, viscous sound that filled the silence—a futile gesture loaded with intent, as if he could pierce the obsidian barrier with sheer desire. His fingers found the straps' edges with a deftness born of years untangling wild roots in forgotten gardens, rough fingertips slipping under the leather with near-instinctive precision.

"First this, Kaili—let me free you from this weight," he murmured, his voice low and husky, trembling on the edge of desire like a string about to snap. He undid the knots with swift, precise movements, fingers working the straps like unwrapping a forbidden gift cloaked in shadows. The clatter of armor pieces hitting the floor rang like broken bells—a slow, deliberate ritual marking a deeper shift. The right shoulder plate fell with a dull clank, kicking up dust from the boards, followed by the left, metal crashing with a contained thunder that hummed in the air. Her shoulders emerged under the amber light, pale skin gleaming like polished marble with a warmth pulsing beneath—a living canvas calling to him with every flicker, soft and tempting in the dimness.

He kneaded the newly freed flesh with a steady rhythm, hands working the taut muscles with a strength that made tendons crackle under his palms—a faint sound blending with the candles' sputter. The oil left a glossy trail sliding down her collarbones in thin streams like liquid crystal, each droplet catching the light in hypnotic glints that danced before his eyes like stars trapped in her skin. Wild mint's sharp freshness rose with each stroke, cutting through the warm air and mingling with the dried sweat still clinging to her—a raw, earthy scent wrapping him in an intoxicating haze, thickening his breath into a pant that betrayed the fire swelling in his chest like a wind-fed blaze, a desire roaring within and driving him closer with an urgency he couldn't ignore.

She let out a low growl, more purr than protest, a guttural echo rumbling in her throat like a beast stirring awake. Her shoulders yielded slightly under his hands as the oil spread in a slick sheen, gleaming like a wet mirror reflecting the candles' flickering flames across her pale skin with an almost otherworldly luster. "You're a mess, gardener—like a kid smearing mud on a rock," she said, her voice sharp as an icy blade that could slice flesh and bone, yet tinged with a husky edge teetering on pleasure. The sound slid through the room like an invisible caress, warm and dangerous, her silver pupils narrowing as she shot him a sidelong glance—mockery laced with a deeper spark, a challenge glowing in the gloom.

He laughed, a low rumble rolling from his chest like distant thunder, as his hands slid down her arms, unfastening the last pieces of armor shielding her torso with a boldness that quickened his pulse. His fingers trembled faintly with anticipation, betraying the storm raging inside. The plates fell with a dull crash, piling on the floor like relics of a battle already won, metal clanging against the boards with an echo signaling the end of one era and the start of something new—an intimate chaos brewing between them. His fingers brushed the thin black linen clinging to her curves like a second skin, soft yet taut against her flesh—a veil barely containing what he ached to unleash.

He tugged it upward with a slow, sensual glide, the fabric whispering over her flat stomach with a sound that prickled the skin—a hushed breath cutting the silence like a stifled sigh. It rose until her full, firm breasts spilled free, trembling as they emerged, pale pink nipples hardening like small crowns under the candles' wavering light, catching the glow in a subtle sheen that mesmerized him—twin points of desire shining like gems in the dimness. The shirt hit the floor with a muted thud, an echo marking a deeper threshold they crossed together. He poured more oil into his palms, the liquid dripping between his fingers with a wet splash that pulsed in the quiet room—a liquid prelude to the storm he was about to unleash.

"I'm going to make you forget everything, Kaili—the coliseum, that orc, even your damn sword," he murmured, his voice shaking with a desire he could no longer leash, a raw promise growling from his throat like an animal's snarl. He reached for her breasts, oil cascading in glossy streams over the taut flesh, trickling down her torso in rivulets that left a wet shine reflecting the candles like a living canvas—a map of curves begging him to explore with a hunger burning his hands.

He massaged with a fervor that consumed him, fingers tracing wide circles that coated every curve in a slippery sheen, palms pressing with a force that molded her breasts under his touch. The flesh quivered with each stroke, as if answering a silent song only they could hear—a rhythm pulsing in his own heartbeat. Oil dripped in fine threads down her stomach, leaving a gleaming trail that caught the light in golden and green flashes—a liquid river charting his desire. He pinched her pale pink nipples with his fingertips, twisting gently as the oil lubricated each turn, drawing a sharp gasp from Kaili that sliced the silence like an icy blade—a sound reverberating off the walls, prickling his arms and spurring him on.

His hands shook with the thrill of her response, the velvety heat of her skin melding with the oil's coolness in a dance that dizzied him. Lavender and citrus wafted up in tendrils, filling his lungs with every ragged breath—a scent wrapping him like a drug, clouding his mind with each inhale. She arched her chest slightly, an instinctive push pressing her breasts into his palms, hardened nipples grazing his skin with a pressure that made him gasp—a contact sending sparks down his spine as if her fire were consuming him. "Keep that up and I'll gut you after," he growled between pants, his voice trembling with a mix of jest and pleasure, echoing off the walls like a fractured sound. But her silver eyes gleamed with a spark daring him not to stop—an invitation snaring him like an unseen net.

Sebastián grinned, his eyes blazing with a wild glint as his hands left her breasts with a final, lingering caress, oil tracing a glossy path that highlighted every curve before sliding down her stomach with a teasing slowness that raised goosebumps—a liquid trail guiding him lower like a river seeking its end. His fingers found the edge of her black leather pants, seams creaking under his touch as he fumbled the laces loose with bold clumsiness, hands moving with an urgency he didn't bother to hide. The leather crumpled to the floor in a heap, exhaling a raw scent of battle and sweat—a stark reminder of the coliseum fading beneath the weight of this moment, an echo lost to the intensity of what lay ahead.

He poured oil directly onto her groin, the liquid trickling in slow cascades that slipped between the folds of her pale pink vaginal lips, painting them with a sheen that glimmered under the amber light like a jewel polished by desire—a flash that drew him like a magnet, bright and wet in the dimness. He massaged with a raw intensity that consumed him, fingertips exploring the outer curves with gentle strokes that sank into warm flesh, oil dripping in streams that pattered onto the pelts with a sensual splash—a hypnotic rhythm pulsing in his ears like a wet drumbeat guiding him deeper.

Then he ventured inward with a delicate yet deep pressure, her inner heat enveloping him like liquid fire scorching his fingers. Each touch pulled a low moan from Kaili that rumbled through the floorboards like distant thunder—a primal melody wrapping around him. Her thighs quivered with an intensity that made the pelts rustle beneath her, pleasure surging through her in waves that quickened her breath, her hands clenching the air as if resisting the urge to grab him, nails glinting under the amber light like tiny daggers poised to strike—a reflection of the storm raging within.

"You're burning, 'queen,'" he whispered, his voice almost tranced as his fingers delved deeper, oil slicking each motion in a slippery rhythm that explored her inner textures with an instinctive precision driving him wild. Her wet heat enveloped him like a delicious trap, soft and pulsing under his touch. She moaned louder, a hoarse, primal sound filling the room like a restrained roar, her thighs parting slightly as pleasure pushed her to the edge, her body trembling with an energy ready to erupt—a force shaking the boards beneath her knees.

Suddenly, a new scent rose in the air, faint at first but swelling with each of Kaili's gasps: an exquisitely floral perfume, like star lilies—a rare bloom from forgotten gardens in their world. Its intoxicating sweetness, layered with deep, velvety notes, filled the lungs with a dizzying potency, seeming to seep from her purple skin as pleasure overtook her. Sebastián inhaled deeply, the fragrance hitting him like a wave, his eyes widening as his mind clouded under the living mist wrapping around him.

When an orgasm ripped through her—her body arching with a violent shudder that snapped the pelts like branches in a storm—her human form exploded in a whirlwind of purple and scarlet light, blinding the dimness. A flash illuminated the walls like forbidden lightning, bathing the room in a glow that defied the night itself. Her skin turned a light purple, an inner radiance blooming from her flesh like a dark dawn, filling the space with warm, dangerous hues. Golden, silver, and red runes flared across her body, pulsing like living veins with an arcane beat that thrummed in the air and rattled the floorboards—a rhythm echoing in Sebastián's chest like a war drum calling him to act.

Six iridescent wings—black as midnight, purple bleeding into storm shades, scarlet blazing like live embers—unfurled with a low hum that shook the walls. Feathers dripped oil in glossy threads, glinting with warm blue and gold reflections, falling onto the pelts like tears of liquid fire that sizzled on contact. Her gazelle-like horns, sharp and crowned with gems gleaming like stolen star fragments, sliced through the gloom with lethal elegance, filling the space with her supremacy—a reminder she wasn't just a warrior, but something more, something that could shatter worlds with a thought, a chaos goddess trembling under his touch.

Kaili, still panting, turned with a deliberate motion that creaked the floorboards under her boots, leaning over the bed with a provocative slowness that felt like a challenge in itself. Her hands pressed into the wrinkled pelts, tearing the surface with a scrape as she arched her hips—an invitation carved to tempt—exposing her vaginal lips, now a blend of purples and soft pinks, glistening and throbbing with oil and her natural heat, and her anus matching in tone, smooth and slick under the liquid dripping in fine threads from her thighs. The wet sheen caught the amber light like a beacon in the dark. Her pale purple nipples quivered with her quickened breath, hardened like small jewels flashing with each move. She glanced over her shoulder, cosmic eyes with black sclera sparking with gold and red flecks dancing like stars in an endless abyss—a gaze that snared him like a net.

"What's wrong, gardener? That all you've got? Scared of two little holes?" she purred, her voice a sensual taunt dripping with arrogance, a low growl vibrating in the air like a dark song. Her wings fluttered faintly to punctuate her provocation, feathers brushing the air with a whisper that filled the room. "Come on, use those hands for more than clapping—touch whatever you want, or don't you have the guts to go further and make it worth my while?" Her lips curved into a sharp smile, a blade cutting the air and igniting him like gunpowder, her words echoing in his head as an irresistible challenge while the star lily scent intensified with each syllable, enveloping him like a mind-clouding fog.

Sebastián didn't hold back; a low growl rumbled from his throat, an animal sound betraying the fire consuming him like an unleashed blaze. His lips crashed into hers in a fierce kiss, his tongue invading her mouth with a raw urgency that made her breath hitch against his, hot and uneven—a clash of breaths filling the air with a scorching heat that seemed to set the dimness ablaze. His hands gripped her shoulders, Kaili's nails digging into his bronzed skin with a force that left red marks, a sharp sting making him gasp against her mouth. But she returned the kiss with voracious passion, her lips moving against his with a hunger that caught him off guard, her pale purple breasts brushing his sweaty chest, hardened nipples tracing lines of fire across his skin in a searing dance that sent sparks down his spine, a contact dizzying him and pushing him to the edge.

Between kisses, Sebastián dipped his head, lips grazing her purple neck with a wet brush that left a glossy trail, the star lily scent intensifying with each of Kaili's gasps—a floral sweetness wrapping him like a drug. He descended to her breasts, capturing a pale purple nipple in his mouth. He sucked with firm pressure, pulling a sharp gasp from her as her wings beat once with a low hum that rattled the candles on the table, flames flickering as if afraid to go out. He nipped gently, teeth grazing the hardened flesh while his tongue teased the tip, the salty taste of her skin mingling with the oil's citrus in an explosion that made him growl against her—a guttural sound vibrating in his chest. His hands kneaded the other breast with a force that made her arch toward him, nipples pulsing under his fingers like tiny living hearts.

"Don't stop," she growled, her voice trembling between mockery and pleasure, a husky sound echoing through the floorboards. Her hands clenched the pelts as he moved lower, lips tracing a wet path down her stomach, oil dripping in glossy threads that caught the amber light like liquid crystal rivers. He paused at her navel, licking the small hollow with deliberate slowness, the warm, salty taste of her skin filling his mouth as the floral scent grew more intense, more intoxicating—a perfume dizzying him until his breath grew heavy, a pant betraying the desire consuming him.

Sebastián knelt before her, hands parting her legs with a gentle yet firm strength, her thighs trembling under his palms as he exposed her vaginal lips—purple and pink, gleaming with oil and her natural heat. The star lily scent hit him like a wave, and then he knew: it came from her, from that warm, pulsing place calling to him like a forbidden song. "I'm going to make you scream, 'queen,'" he murmured, his breath brushing her skin before his lips pressed against her, a soft kiss turning into a wet caress as his tongue explored the slick folds. The taste of pure honey flooded his mouth, a thick, sweet nectar that surprised him, enveloping him and making him gasp against her, hands gripping her thighs tighter as he licked with a fervor that consumed him.

Kaili gasped, a sharp sound cutting the silence like an icy blade, her hands clawing the pelts until her nails shredded the surface, scattering dark scraps like broken petals across the bed—a tactile chaos mirroring the whirlwind within. "Damn you!" she snarled, but her voice quavered, betrayed by the pleasure surging through her, thighs shaking violently under his hands as he delved deeper. His tongue glided between her folds with a precision that made her hips buck, her inner heat pulsing against his mouth like a living heart, the honeyed taste intensifying with each lick—sweet and addictive, overwhelming his senses until his mind fogged.

He sucked gently, then harder, the wet, rhythmic sound filling the room like a primal drum, lips capturing each fold as his tongue pressed deeper, savoring the tight heat enveloping him—a nectar that was her in her purest form, an echo of her power blended with honey's sweetness driving him mad. She screamed then, a primal cry resounding off the walls like unleashed thunder, her wings beating furiously until a candle snuffed out with a hiss, smoke curling upward to dance with the shadows. Her runes flared a blinding red, painting the dimness with a wild glow mirroring the ecstasy consuming her.

"Gardener, damn you!" she roared, her voice breaking with pleasure, hands abandoning the pelts to clutch his hair, nails digging into his scalp with a force that left red marks, pressing him against her as her thighs quaked around his face. The climax hit her like a wave, convulsing her body, the star lily scent bursting into a fragrance so exquisite it filled the room like an intoxicating mist. Sebastián quickened, his tongue lapping every shudder as she screamed again, a higher cry than before, her body arching over the pelts until her wings' feathers brushed the ceiling, oil dripping down her thighs in glossy threads pooling in shimmering puddles, the honeyed taste swelling in his mouth like a divine gift leaving him breathless.

Sebastián rose with a low growl, lips glistening with a mix of oil and her essence, the honeyed taste lingering on his tongue as he unfastened his pants with a swift tug. The leather creaked as it fell in a crumpled heap mingling with hers, freeing his erection—hard and throbbing under the amber light casting long shadows across the walls. He poured more oil into his palm, liquid dripping between his fingers as he spread it over himself with a gasp, the wild mint's coolness clashing with his flesh's heat in a sensation that made him tremble with anticipation, eyes never leaving hers as he positioned himself behind her, hands gripping her hips with a force that marked her purple skin, the star lily scent filling his lungs with every breath.

"I made you scream, 'queen'—but now I'm going to claim you," he murmured, his voice rough and heavy with a raw promise slicing the air like a blade. He guided himself to her vaginal lips, brushing the slick folds with a deliberate slowness that made him gasp, her wet heat enveloping him like an invitation he couldn't refuse. Kaili turned her head to glance over her shoulder, lips curving into a sharp smile that was both challenge and surrender, her cosmic eyes blazing with an intensity that ensnared him.

"Do it, gardener—claim me if you can," she purred, her voice a dark song vibrating in his bones, wings flaring slightly as she raised her hips, exposing her glistening, throbbing intimacy. The floral scent swelled until it was nearly overwhelming, a perfume dizzying him and pushing him to the brink. He pressed against her, the tip of his member parting her lips slowly, her wet heat wrapping him like a searing glove that made him gasp, hands clenching her hips as he breached her virginity with a firm thrust. The oil lubricated every inch as her interior gripped him with an intensity that blinded him, a pleasure driving him to the edge from the first moment.

A purple liquid flowed from her, warm and viscous, mingling with the oil in a glossy stream that trickled down her thighs and pooled on the pelts in shimmering puddles—a fluid carrying the star lily scent to an intoxicating peak, a floral sweetness so potent it filled the room like a living fog, clouding his mind as honey lingered on his tongue. Kaili let out a sharp moan, a sound blending surprise and pleasure, her hands tearing the pelts with a force that scattered dark scraps like broken petals, her wings beating once with a hum that snuffed out another candle, smoke rising in curls that danced with the shadows.

"Damn you!" she growled, but her voice faltered, undone by the pleasure coursing through her, thighs quaking violently under his weight as he thrust deeper, hips moving with a relentless rhythm. The wet, rhythmic sound filled the room like a primal drum, their bodies merging in a clash of flesh and desire that creaked the floorboards beneath their knees, the purple liquid dripping with each thrust, the floral scent intensifying until it seemed to seep into the walls themselves. He slid a hand up her back, gripping the base of her wings, feathers trembling under his fingers as he drove into her with an intensity that made her gasp, her inner heat clenching him like a vise pushing him to the edge.

Kaili pushed back against him, her hips syncing with his in a silent challenge urging him faster, deeper, her runes pulsing with a glow that lit the dimness like a beacon in the night. "Don't you dare stop, gardener—or I'll rip your soul out myself," she snarled, her voice hoarse and broken, a roar vibrating in the air, her wings beating harder as he sped up, thrusts turning fierce, the purple liquid splattering the pelts with each motion, the star lily scent filling his lungs until his mind blurred completely—a drug-like perfume enveloping him and driving him to the limit.

She screamed again, a primal cry echoing off the walls like unleashed thunder, her body convulsing with a climax that made her runes flare a blinding red, the glow painting the dancing shadows with a living light. Her wings thrashed the air with a hum that extinguished the last candle, plunging the room into a dimness broken only by her runes' shine and the gleam of the purple liquid dripping from her—a glossy river marking their union. Sebastián followed her to the edge, a guttural growl escaping his throat as his climax hit, pleasure exploding within like a blinding storm, hips trembling as he spilled inside her, his release blending with the purple liquid and oil in a union that left him panting, hands gripping her hips as his body shuddered with the echoes of ecstasy, the floral scent so intense it seemed to seep into his skin and lungs forever.

Kaili collapsed onto the pelts, her purple skin glistening with sweat, oil, and the purple liquid dripping from her, runes softening to a golden pulse beating like a calm heart—a contrast to the fury she'd unleashed moments before. Her ragged breaths filled the air with an uneven rhythm, an echo of the chaos they'd wrought. Sebastián dropped beside her, exhausted yet elated, his bronzed chest heaving with heavy breaths that echoed in the dimness, his green shirt slipping off his shoulders in sweaty tatters reeking of effort and desire—a scent mingling with the star lily fragrance still lingering like a living mist.

She turned her head, cosmic eyes glinting with a satisfaction she wouldn't fully admit, a faint quiver in her wings as she half-folded them, feathers brushing the pelts with a whisper that filled the air like a muted song. "Not bad, gardener—but don't get cocky, it barely passed muster," she growled, her tone sharp as an icy blade yet warm with a husky edge that undercut her words. Her lips curled into a smile flashing in the dimness like a newly forged weapon—a mix of mockery and something softer she refused to name, the floral scent still wafting from her in gentle, persistent waves.

Sebastián laughed, a low rumble vibrating in his chest like distant thunder, leaning over her as his hand rose to deliver a firm smack to her oily backside. The sound rang through the dimness with a crisp clap, followed by a startled gasp from Kaili, her wings fluttering once with a hum that shook the pelts beneath them. "Sleep, my love," he murmured, his voice soft yet bold with a tenderness contrasting the earlier rawness, leaning in to kiss her once more—a slow, deep kiss she returned with a low growl, lips moving against his with an exhausted passion still carrying a hint of defiance, a contact sealing what they'd shared.

He lay back, his bronzed body relaxing against the wrinkled pelts, and Kaili nestled onto his chest with deliberate slowness, her purple skin warm against his—a vivid contrast pulsing in the dimness. Her breath slowed as one wing unfurled to drape over him like a living blanket, iridescent feathers brushing his skin with a soft whisper that wrapped him in her warmth—a touch both protective and possessive. The star lily scent softened, a lingering sweetness floating in the air like a memory of their union, blending with the oil and sweat soaking the pelts.

Silence settled over the room like a heavy cloak, broken only by the faint rustle of pelts under their spent bodies—a tactile echo of what they'd shared—and the slow drip of wax hardening on the table, a soft plink marking time in the now-total darkness, the candles extinguished, leaving only the faint glow of Kaili's runes as a guiding light. Their breaths synced, calm and deep, a rhythm signaling the storm's aftermath, their bodies entwined beneath her wing's weight—a private refuge in the dark.

The bond between them, forged in blood, oil, and the purple liquid that had flowed from her, pulsed under the feathers covering him—an echo of promises and desires that would resonate beyond this night, held within the inn's dark wooden walls guarding their secrets. They slept soundly, the star lily scent fading slowly into the air, a floral whisper accompanying them into dreams—a reminder of the passion that had bound them and the peace now enveloping them.
