Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

For years, Princess Ramona had dreamt of this moment—Ethan holding her as if she was the most precious thing in the world.

She dreamt of him kissing her lips and whispering sweet nothings in her ears, making her feel loved and happy.

And now, the same person whom she had fallen for from the first time she met him was gently caressing her body, sending shivers down her spine.

Just a touch of his finger was enough to stroke the burning desire she had kept sealed in her heart for a long time.

The young lady, who had never known the touch of a man in her life, couldn't help but feel as if her body was burning.

She had been starving for his love, and now, he was giving it to her.

There was a saying that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and right now, she found these words to be true.

She loved Ethan so much that it hurt.

Back then, she felt as if a hole had appeared inside her heart—one that could never be filled up by anything in the world.

But as she received Ethan's caresses and kisses, she could feel that empty hole rapidly getting filled up with his love.

She was afraid.

Afraid that she would no longer be able to turn back. And yet, she still longed for the unknown.

The Princess knew that, by the time the night was over, she would finally be his and he would finally be hers.

Princess Ramona relaxed her body and entrusted everything to her beloved.

She was so happy that she did her best to stop the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes due to happiness.

The young lady wasn't aware that seeing her like this only made Ethan wish to embrace her tightly so that she would never be sad again.

But these unshed tears fell when the two of them finally became one.

The pain of losing her innocence made the Princess truly believe that she was born for this moment.

Talks about this act were something she had only heard from the aunties and old ladies who visited the temple.

Princess Ramona once believed that she would never experience it in her lifetime, for she dedicated her life to her duties.

But now, she was experiencing it.

It was bittersweet, but sweet nevertheless.

It was like a raging storm that made her tremble as the waves of pain and pleasure washed over her, wracking her body and making her unable to tell left from right.

The only thing she could do was accept him and let her pleasure-filled voice echo across the room as he marked her from the inside out, leaving no room for her to misunderstand that she belonged to him alone.

And, as if entering the eye of the storm, a peace settled inside the room, allowing them to catch their breaths, while staying connected with each other.

Her womb offered no resistance and accepted everything that belonged to him.

For a brief moment, the thought of getting pregnant with his child crossed her mind.

But for some reason, she understood that it wasn't meant to be.

At least for now.

When she came to herself, finally regaining her senses, she saw him looking down on her with eyes filled with love, making her heart feel warm and happy.

A moment later, he leaned down and kissed her lips.

It was a long and passionate kiss.

A kiss that Ramona loved, and returned with as much passion as he had.

When she was running out of breath, Ethan pulled back from the kiss and looked at her disoriented yet satisfied expression with a smile.

Her young and beautiful body glistened with sweat, courtesy of the moonlight that passed through the window of the tower.

Ethan gently spread the Princess' legs and looked at the place where they were still connected. There, he saw his overflowing feelings, as well as the proof of her lost innocence staining the bedsheets.

He then shifted his attention to her flushed face, which was looking at him with longing and affection.

"Ethan…" Princess Ramona said, raising her hands toward Ethan. "Please, love me until I pass out from exhaustion."

"Your wish is my command, Princess," Ethan replied.

Once again, the young man lowered his head and allowed her to wrap her arms around his neck, pulling him close to her for another kiss.

And just like that, he made love to her again by her own word.

The eye of the storm had passed, which meant that another wave would soon crash over them.

But both of them welcomed it readily.

They allowed the rumbling tides of their emotions sweep away the worries in their heart, with both of them falling into a state of oblivion.

Somewhere in the Temple of the Order of the Tidebringer…

Hecate smiled mischievously at Joanne, who was looking at her with a solemn expression on her face.

"Are you telling me the truth?" Joanne asked.

"Yes," Hecate replied.

"Then, we should—"

"No. You don't need to do anything. This is something that needs to happen between the two of them."

Hearing that, Joanne frowned. Somehow, she felt very reluctant not to do anything.

"Is there really nothing I can do?" Joanne asked. "There must be something…"

"Of course, there is something that you can do," Hecate replied. "There are many things you can do—everything except telling your brother about it. The only reason why I am telling you this is because I know how much you care about your brother and your best friend. But if you try to force it, you will lose her forever. Since she's gambled with Fate, only Fate can set her free."

Hecate then looked at the tower in the distance, knowing that Ethan and Princess Ramona were already there.

"You've been looking at the tower since earlier," Joanne said. "What's in there?"

"Nothing much," Hecate answered. "A special event is being held there right now. You mustn't listen to them, okay?"

Joanne was a rebellious girl by heart. If someone told her not to do anything, there was an eighty-percent chance that she would do it anyway out of curiosity.

With that said, she gathered the shadows around her and used it to eavesdrop at the tower.

A second after she acted upon her curiosity, her face immediately became beet-red when she heard Princess Ramona's voice begging for Ethan to…

"Curiosity killed the cat," Hecate giggled after seeing the young lady's reaction. "But since you will also experience it in the future, you can probably treat it as a learning experience."

Joanne pretended that he didn't hear Hecate's teasing words and hastily cut off the connection.

She had only listened for not quite half a minute, but it was more than enough for her to understand what was happening in the tower.

While what she had heard flustered her, she was able to regain her composure after only a few minutes. Then, as if nothing happened, she once again talked to Hecate about the things that she could do in order to help her best friend find her happiness, for it would also make her happy.
