Yet again I was released only because the one holding onto - like I was the reason she continued to live - had finally decided that she had done enough to already.
That the sex we had and the blood she had drained was enough to satisfy her urges, that she was content and willing to end it here for now and to give a mont to recuperate, to finally have so rest.
It was ti I needed lest my blood run dry and my insides turn to mush after her incessant pounding, and Leone knew that, hence why I was no longer being cradled in her arms and instead allowed to lay atop the pillows like so delicate treasure.
My neck ached fiercely, my heart beat wildly in my chest and the heat dripping out of was a reminder of how 'dangerous' these days had beco, and yet there was no other way I wanted to be right now as I subrged myself into those pillows and just... lounged here.
Waiting, listening, watching... my eyes darted between Leone - who was sitting nearby, her eyes closed while her skin slowly lost its crimson luster - and the other two, who were still in the throes of passion even now.
Jahi's blue skin glistened with sweat as she thrust forwards with a vengeance, her hips never stopping once as she gouged out my mate and used her to satiate her urges; her hands gripped at Anput's cheeks like she was afraid she might send her flying forwards, and the sound of their flesh smacking together filled the tent like it was a drum solo.
As for my mate, she was never more beautiful than she was now, the bronzed skin of the Jackalkin glowing as she was taken so brutally in front of , while her moans were so delicious, turning on despite what I had just been made to endure.
When Leone finally returned to her usual self, the Vampire let out a cute gasp before swaying side to side, her cheeks still sowhat red as she stared at embarrassedly, unsure of what to do or to say.
She was still showing clear signs of lust, but her lips being stained red thanks to my blood - alongside her chin and so of her throat - alongside her back likely being in ribbons right now made it hard for her to do anything besides focus on making herself presentable and attempt to wash away so of her embarrassnt.
It was a hard task for her though, since my own neck and so of my chest were stained red thanks to her, and I could already tell that she was going to try and apologize for what 'she' had done... so I just waved her off and continued to watch what was going on nearby.
I was still needy, still wanting to be put into my place and be punished for what could have been, but at the sa ti I was lucid enough - and capable enough - to think of what we had encountered in that Trial, and what it could an.
A stairway to sowhere else, where soone with so clear power difference resided; it was - to - a rather obvious indication that this was a world that was 'layered' in the way that the world we resided in - the part of the world that we resided in, anyways - was considered the 'lower' portion.
That this was a pond resting nearby a lake, which likely rested nearby an ocean; a small piece of a gigantic puzzle, a piece that had faded colors and was fraying at the edges when compared to the piece beside it.
The power that we had was just considered diocre at best, or considered rather low in this next step above us, and it was sothing I was familiar with since there were many novels and many theories that had the sa idea.
If that was all a correct assumption, then the Labyrinthian had been designed the way it was on purpose; that this wasn't so natural occurring structure that was mysterious and had no real goal, but a testing grounds created to filter out the talents of this continent.
This city was in the center of such a dangerous place, filled with these Trials that were testing us in so many different ways, Trials that were laden with various kinds of challenges and restrictions that forced you to act in certain ways.
That created what was in essence a very fine strainer, sifting out the weak and unworthy and leaving behind only those that were acceptable to ascend this 'Stairway Imperata', which ant that we had stumbled onto sothing... fascinating.
Sothing that Saturna Vera had discovered as well, and sothing she had likely ascended with her Ti Magic; a way to seek out further power and head sowhere more challenging, to learn even more about everything that was, that is, and that will be.
If I was right though, the question instantly rose to my mind of whether or not I wanted to acknowledge this staircase at all, if I wanted to even think about what might occur around it, let alone up it.
It just ca out of nowhere, really, with so many different things happening down here on this level that I just couldn't really find it in to spare the energy to ponder about what might be up there...
The guess I had was that it was a way to get ever closer to the Gods, or it might even be the realm in which the Gods truly reside, but that already was giving a shaky feeling in my chest that definitely wasn't caused by the loss of blood.
I didn't know what to think about the 'Stairway Imperata', but I did know that the people I cared about the most - the things that I wanted to keep close to no matter what - were already right here, lounging in this tent with .
There were even more people that I cherished waiting for back ho; the two budding lives and the two lives that had already chiseled out quite a story for themselves, and that alone was enough to make 'falter'.
I didn't know what to think... and that was sadly becoming far too common for in recent tis, sothing that I wanted to try and rectify, but considering how loopy I was right now because of my own actions - and their consequences - I wasn't too certain that I could fix it just yet.
