‘Blessed Aegis’ was something that Aether got from Helena… her most desired weapon.
Though calling it a weapon was a stretch. It was something entirely different, something that defined her…. Healing magic!
A soft black dome shimmered around Aether and Liora.
Slowly, the magic went to work. Aether watched as the cuts and bruises on their bodies began to close, their ragged breathing evening out. It wasn’t as swift or powerful as Helena’s magic, but it was working.
The wounds were healing!
Aether’s eyes softened with relief. He reached out and gently ruffled Liora’s silky hair, feeling the strands slip through his fingers like fine threads of shadow…. She lay sprawled across his lap, unconscious but peaceful, her face now serene.
She had reverted to her normal form the moment her consciousness slipped away, and now Aether could see the marks of their battle etched into her skin…. the wounds he had caused.
A pang of guilt clenched his heart, ‘This is the worst…’ he thought, his chest tightening, ‘And I was the one who did this to her’
Sure she hurt him but he did more to her!! If not for the healing magic, she might have died!!
He glanced down at his own hands, bloodied and trembling slightly. A bitter smile tugged at his lips as a thought crossed his mind, ‘Looks like I can hold my ground against someone… twice my level’ But then he shook his head, ‘No, she has a Golden Aptitude. That’s still below Rainbow Aptitude. I’ve got a lot of growing to do’ , Despite the grim situation, a flicker of amusement danced in his eyes
The black dome around them pulsed gently, and Aether’s lips curled into a faint smile.
He had gained healing magic, and now, he wouldn’t have to worry so much about getting hurt. No more wasting time and money on healing potions.
Helena had given him a precious gift!!
‘I wonder if she’s finally calmed down…’ Aether mused, his thoughts drifting to Helena, hoping that her ‘Emotions’ had subsided.
Just then, a soft sound broke the silence.
“Hnn…” Liora groaned, her eyes fluttering open.
Aether’s hand was already in her hair, gently stroking. His eyes locked onto hers, warm and intense.
Liora’s eyes, shimmering with all the colours of the rainbow, took a moment to focus. When they did, a small, tired smile spread across her lips.
“It seems you didn’t abandon this bitchy woman who forced you to a fight and…” Her voice wavered, the smile fading as her brows drew together, “…even tried to kill you.”
Her words hung in the air, heavy with guilt. She knew what she’d done was reckless, unreasonable, and driven by the primal feelings that overtook her.
Aether held her gaze, his expression softening, “Yes, it was a little bitchy…” he admitted, his voice gentle yet teasing. But then he leaned in closer, his eyes never leaving hers. “But it came from the woman I’ve fallen for… So, I accept everything about you.”
Liora’s breath hitched. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, the heat of his words spreading through her like wildfire. She turned her head, unable to hold his gaze any longer, her heart pounding in her chest, “What… what is that?” she asked, her voice wavering as she gestured weakly at the dome around them, desperate to shift the conversation away from her vulnerable state.
Aether’s smile grew as he looked at the dome, “My ability, I suppose,” he said with a shrug as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
He wasn’t wrong… maybe a little!
Liora gave him a puzzled look, her eyes narrowing. “Healing magic is rare… especially one that creates a dome like this. And why is it black? Most healing magic is light…” She trailed off, trying to understand him, trying to understand what made him so different. Aether was unlike anyone she had ever met… unpredictable, enigmatic, and deeply powerful.
Aether chuckled softly, his fingers still playing with her hair. “I don’t know,” he admitted, his eyes twinkling with mystery. “Maybe I’m just special.”
A comfortable silence settled between them. The dome’s soft hum filled the air, a soothing backdrop to their quiet conversation. Aether’s touch was gentle, and comforting, his hand warm against her head.
“Should we book a room?” Aether asked softly, his voice laced with knowing. He could feel the tension between them… He knew what was coming next.
Liora’s cheeks flushed even deeper, a vivid red spreading across her face. She swallowed hard, her pride warring with her desire. “Why?” as she looked around, “This place is fine…”

Aether shook his head gently, his eyes drifting to their torn, bloodied clothes and the grime that covered their bodies. There was no way he would let their first time be in a place like this, no matter how much he wanted her. “Look at us,” he said softly, pointing to their tattered appearances. “There’s no way I’m doing it here.”
Liora’s eyes followed his hand, taking in the state of their clothes and skin. As much as she wanted to let her primal instincts take over, she was still a woman…. a woman who wanted to show her best self to the mate she had chosen.
She nodded! They moved as soon as they fully healed!

…
Inside one of the most lavish rooms in the grand hotel, Aether sat on the edge of a plush, king-sized bed, wearing only a bathrobe.
He had spared no expense… He was fucking rich!!
Aether’s heart pounded in his chest as he watched the bathroom door swing open. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Liora stepped out, wearing a bathrobe that clung to her curves, her damp hair falling over her shoulders.
She looked like a goddess stepping out of the mist, her skin still glistening with droplets of water. His eyes devoured her, taking in every inch of her body as if he were seeing her for the first time.
Liora caught the intensity in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt her own desire surge, a deep, aching need that pulsed through her veins.
Aether’s hair, normally dark, was now a natural white, and something about this change made him look even more irresistible. She didn’t ask why, didn’t need to know the reason; she was drawn to the truth of him, to this side that felt raw and untamed!!
Liora’s lips curled into a seductive smile. Slowly, teasingly, she reached up and loosened the knot of her bathrobe, letting the fabric slip from her shoulders. Aether’s eyes followed every movement, his gaze heavy with desire.
As the bathrobe slipped from her shoulders, Aether’s eyes were riveted by the sight of the gorgeous woman before him.
Her wet hair clung to her neck, with droplets of water glistening on her skin.
Each bead of water seemed to move in slow motion, starting at her shoulders and gliding over her curvy, full breasts.
The droplets traced the smooth curve of her bust, lingering for a moment at the peaks of her nipples, which stood erect and eager for attention. It was like watching a roller coaster poised at the top before plunging into a wild descent; the tension building as the droplets hovered at the tip of her nipples, twitching slightly with her shallow breaths.
Finally, the droplet slid down with a quick, almost reckless speed over the gentle swell of her breasts. It continued its journey, gliding over the flat plane of her abdomen, where her muscles subtly flexed, revealing a hint of toned packs beneath her soft, delicate skin.
The droplet moved as if guided by an unseen hand, eagerly tracing each gentle curve and dip of her body…. before disappearing into the small cute lovely bush!
It was unable to reach the beautiful flower!!
Gulp
Aether swallowed hard, the sound audible in the quiet room.
His eyes were locked on the sight of Liora’s glistening, trembling flower, her pussy wet and slick with arousal. Her lovely nectar was already dripping from her core, leaving a shining trail down her inner thighs.
Liora’s lips curved into a satisfied smile as she noticed his reaction, the outline of his cock pressing against his robe, the fabric tented by his hardness.
Slowly, sensuously, she licked her lips, her eyes never leaving his. Each step she took toward him was deliberate, her hips swaying with a natural, enticing rhythm, her tail adding to the allure of her movements.
She came to a stop in front of him, her flower so close that he could smell something…
A weird scent…. that made his mind go hazy with lust….. His shaft twitched, a bead of precum leaking out, soaking through the thin fabric of his robe.
‘Is she… releasing pheromones?’ Aether wondered.
Liora’s expression was amused, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she looked down at him.
His hands moved almost instinctively, sliding up to rest on her hips, his fingers pressing into the soft flesh. Liora’s smile widened, and she leaned forward, about to straddle his lap when she felt it.
“!!~Ah~”
Liora moaned, her voice soft yet filled with urgency. Aether’s fingers grazed over her wet, swollen folds.
“Wh~mm~!!”
Liora’s breath hitched, her body trembling under his touch. Aether’s fingers moved with a slow, teasing motion, tracing the outer edges of her pussy. Every stroke sent shivers through her, making her shudder. Then, without warning, his fingers dipped inside her, sliding deep into her warm, wet core.
“A-Aet~Ahh~”
She gasped…. The sensation of his fingers filling her, stretching her, sent waves of pleasure crashing over her. Her eyes fluttered closed, a deep, guttural moan escaping her lips as she surrendered to the pleasure.
Aether’s own breath was ragged, his cock throbbing with need as he felt her tight, slick heat clenching around his fingers.
“~ahh~Hmm~aah~ahh~haa~mm~Aeth~ahh~”
He curled his fingers inside her, searching for that perfect spot. When he found it, her back arched, a sharp cry of pleasure escaping her. Liora’s moans filled the room, her hips grinding against his hand, seeking more. Her hands gripped his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as her legs weakened, trembling.
Aether’s eyes darkened with lust as he watched her unravel. He licked his lips, then slowly leaned forward, his tongue flicking out to taste her. The moment his tongue brushed her folds, a shiver ran through her spine.
“~AAHHhh~”
Her moan was loud, raw with the sudden pleasure. She almost came right there, from the simple touch of his tongue against her sensitive lips. Her eyes widened in surprise, but before she could utter a word, Aether’s hands grabbed her thighs, pulling her closer.
With his face buried in her groin, Aether’s lips and tongue played with her pussy, teasing her wet, needy entrance…. His tongue traced her slit, then flicked over her clit, sending jolts of pleasure through her body. Liora’s moans grew louder, each sound escaping her lips a mixture of need and frustration.
“~ahh~Aeth~ahh~Wai~mm~itt~mmmFucck~~~”
Her hands clutched at his shoulders, her fingers tangling in his hair. Aether’s hands slid around to her ass, kneading her soft flesh as his tongue continued its assault. He nibbled on her clit, sucking gently, then harder, making her shiver with excitement and pain.
“~AAeetthhh~mmm~”
Aether lifted one of her legs, spreading her wider, giving him a better view of her glistening pussy. He devoured her hungrily, his tongue exploring every inch of her, drinking in her sweet nectar. The taste was intoxicating, and he could feel her pheromones, her need for him, flooding his senses.
“~Ahhh~aahh~mm~”
Liora’s moans became desperate, her hips bucking against his face. Her hands tightened in his hair, pulling him closer as his skilled tongue drove her to the edge. Her ass trembled under his touch, every lick and suck making her body tense.
“FUCK!!”
Liora cried out, her voice strained. Aether’s fingers had slid back, teasing her other entrance. She hadn’t expected this. The sensation was new, and strange, but it only heightened her pleasure…. Her hips trembled, her muscles clenching as she neared her climax.
“~Ahhhhaaaahhhhh~”
Splash
Splash
Slurp
Slurp….
She came hard, her pussy clenching around his tongue, her juices flooding his mouth. Aether drank it down greedily, his lips pressed firmly against her, sucking every drop of her nectar.
He caught her as her body went limp, her head falling onto his chest.
“~ha~”
“~ha~”
Liora panted, her cheeks flushed, her eyes hazy with afterglow. Her head rested against his chest, her breath coming in shallow gasps. With a red face, she managed to murmur, “I-I will win… this time… I~ha~ I need your cock” Her voice was weak, but the fire of determination still flickered in her eyes…. her hands slipped into the robe.
“Hehe…”
His laugh had a dark, knowing edge that made her shiver.
