Chapter 54

Outside the portal

"It’s been an hour, we should go in. I hope the kid isn’t dead by now." The rescue team leader, an S-rank ice realm user said hurrieldy to the rest.

"I’m sure he is. No E-rank hunter can survive a C-rank portal alone, he isn’t anyone special so I’m not surprised they all left him behind."

"He is stupid for wanting to stay behind alone."

"Enough you-all, let’s go in and finish this up." The captain barked at them, but just as they were about to step into the portal, the saw someone stepping out. They all froze, watching.

"Isn’t that him? The one they left behind?"

"He actually survived?"

"That can’t be."

As soon as Kaizen stepped out of the portal, it closed behind him.

"He activated the hound stone too."

"But isn’t he E-rank? How did he survive long enough to find the hound stone?"

Kaizen looked up to find all their eyes on him, but he just breathed and walked past them without saying anything.

"Wait." A voice called him, but he didn’t stop.

"Those gems, did you kill all those beasts by yourself?" The man asked, pointing towards the bag Kaizen held over his shoulder.

Kaizen paused again, then gave a one word reply, "No." And continued on his way.

"Then how did he get them?"

"There is over a hundred gems in there, where did he get them from?"

"I heard the beast realm has treasures too, aside the gem cores retrieved from beasts. He definitely hit the jackpot."

"No wonder he chose to stay behind. He must have found a clue and decided to have it and keep it all to himself, greedy bastard."

"My major question is, how the hell did he survive?"

The whispered continued behind Kaizen but he didn’t pay any attention and went on. How did he get the gems? Mavka had given them to him as a form of gratitude to him for sparing her life, since technically, he didn’t get any of his so called points from killing her. Her name was Mavka, and somehow, they ended up parting ways on good terms.

He needed money, so he very well accepted it. The gems weren’t beast cores, just normal gem stones.

Kaizen didn’t bother reporting back to Crimson dusk and just headed straight for him. A damn bath and sleep was all he needed right now. The past hours since he woke up had been something else. Things were just progressing so suddenly and quickly, not even giving him time to process what in the world to do next.

He’d already died twice between yesterday and today, like...hell he just needed a fucking break.

"Your highness, your bath water is ready." Rita, Alira’s maid called out to her. Alira lay on her bed, reading a letter which someone had sent to her. She hurriedly sat up, throwing the letter on the bed, her eyes burning. "Why now? I like it here, why does father want me to come to the capital?"

"Princess, maybe it’s about your marriage."

"I told him several times that I’m not getting married to anyone." She flared, then her eyes softened, "anyone but him." She added.

Right then, she turned to Rita, then gestured at her to come closer. Rita walked closer, the leaned her ears forward. Alira then cupped her hand against her ear then whispered something to her.

Rita’s face brightened up, "Sure your highness, I’ll do so right away."

Alira smirked as Rita rushed out. "Make it quick."

Once her maid had left, she slowly stood up, pulling her gown down, exposing her nakedness. Then she headed into the bathroom.

It was a big pool filled with red rose petals. She carefully stepped into it, one leg at a time, savouring the warm feel of the water against her skin. Once she was fully inside, she sat down, and the water rose higher, climbing over her boobs.

She remained inside for a while, just playing with the petals as the water clung to her skin.

Moments later, she heard a knock on the door. Her face lit up, her cheeks flushing like she knew who was there.

"Come in." She ordered.

The door creaked open slowly, and Rael stepped inside.

He froze.

Alira was already in the water, soaked, bare, looking right at him like she’d been waiting. Her wet hair clung to her shoulders, rose petals floating lazily around her naked body. She didn’t bother covering anything. She wanted him to see.

"Close the door," she said, voice low and commanding.

He did without a word. But his eyes never left her.

She leaned back against the edge of the pool, spreading her arms out, her breasts floating slightly with the water. Her nipples were hard, and she knew he saw them. That was the point. She wasn’t playing coy tonight.

"Get in."

"Alira..." His voice was tight, strained. "You’re not making this easy."

"I’m not trying to."

She watched his jaw clench. He stood there, tense as hell, clearly trying to keep it together. But she could already see the bulge forming. He wasn’t fooling anyone.

"I said... get in."

That was it. He broke.

He pulled his shirt off fast, almost like it pissed him off to still be wearing it. Then the rest came off, and fuck, she couldn’t look away. Every inch of him was built, hard, tense. His cock already stood thick and fully hard, and the second she saw it, her thighs clenched under the water.

He didn’t wait.

He stepped into the pool, and she moved straight to him.

Their bodies crashed together in seconds, lips locking in a hot, messy kiss. Tongues, teeth, moans, it wasn’t sweet. It was hungry. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in tighter like she wanted him under her skin.

He pinned her back against the edge of the pool, hands gripping her ass, pulling her flush against him. She gasped loudly when she felt his cock press up against her stomach, rock hard and twitching.

They both paused, panting.

Her fingers ran through his wet hair as she stared at him, eyes wild.

"We’ve never..." he muttered against her lips, almost like a warning. Like he was giving her one last chance to stop this.

But she didn’t want to stop.

"I have to leave for the capital," she whispered, breath shaky. "Might be gone a while. I don’t care why my father wants me, but I know one thing... I’m not leaving without this. Without you."

Her hand slid between them, fingers wrapping around his shaft under the water, and he growled low in his throat.

Her lips brushed his again, teasing.

"You’re hard, Rael... so big."

Then she wrapped her legs around his waist, tight, her ass resting right on his cock. She gave a slow grind, dragging herself along him under the water, and fuck, they both felt it.
