Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Weaving a web of manipulations[R-18]
The other women had fled in a panic, leaving the two of them alone. The room was dimly lit, shadows dancing on the walls as the last light of day faded. Aric led Daniela to the bed, his movements slow and deliberate. He could see the fire in her eyes, the desire burning hotter with each passing second.
Gently, he laid her down on the bed, her body sinking into the soft mattress. As he leaned in closer, their faces inches apart, Daniela's defenses began to crumble. Her mind, fogged by the aphrodisiac, could no longer resist the pull of the handsome man before her. With a trembling hand, she reached up, pulling his head down towards hers.
Aric obliged, his lips brushing against hers in a tender kiss. He could feel her shiver beneath him, her body responding to his touch with a need she couldn't control. Slowly, he removed the veil from her face, revealing her delicate features. Their lips met again, this time with more urgency, more passion. As they kissed, Aric's hands moved to untie his robes, letting them fall to the floor.
His body, now fully exposed, pressed against hers, the heat of their skin igniting a fire between them.
Daniela's breath hitched as he kissed her neck, his lips trailing down to her collarbone, then lower still. Each touch sent waves of pleasure through her, her mind drowning in the sensations. As he kissed every inch of her body, his hands moved with purpose, slowly undressing her. Piece by piece, her clothes fell away, leaving her exposed to him.
The shyness she once held onto was shattered, broken by the overwhelming effects of the aphrodisiac. She was at his mercy, and the drug left her with no room for hesitation. Aric, too, was relentless, his hands and lips exploring every part of her, savoring the moment.
Each touch sent waves of pleasure coursing through her, the intensity building with every passing second.
As Aric's mouth found its way lower, he gently spread her legs, his lips brushing against her inner thighs before moving to the apex of her desireDaniela gasped, her back arching off the bed as he began to lick her clit, his tongue flicking against the sensitive bud with expert precision. She moaned loudly, her hands clutching at the sheets as he drove her to the brink of ecstasy.
She couldn't stop herself from crying out, the intensity of the sensations more than she could bear.
"Ahh… yes… yes…" Daniela moaned, her voice breathless and needy. The pleasure was overwhelming, her body shuddering with each flick of his tongue, each stroke of his fingers as he brought her closer and closer to the edge.
Daniela moaned, her voice breathy and filled with desperate need. "Ah… ah… yes… please… don't stop…" she begged, her body writhing beneath him. Aric increased his pace, the sounds of her pleasure spurring him on. "Yes… yes… more… please…"
Aric could feel her body responding to him, her muscles tensing as she neared her climax. But he wasn't done with her yet. He wanted more, and he intended to take it.
With a slow, deliberate movement, Aric positioned himself between her legs. He could see the uncertainty in her eyes, the fear of what was to come, but he reassured her with a gentle kiss. "I'll be gentle," he promised, his voice a soothing whisper. "I won't hurt you."
And then, with a careful push, he entered her. Daniela cried out, her hands gripping the sheets as she felt the sharp pain of her virginity being taken. Aric paused, allowing her to adjust to the sensation before he began to move. Slowly at first, then faster as the pain gave way to pleasure. "It hurts… but… but it feels…"
"Trust me," Aric whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "I'll make sure you never feel pain again."
As he thrust deeper into her, Daniela's moans grew louder, her body surrendering to the pleasure that coursed through her. "More… yes… more… don't stop…" she begged, her hands clawing at his back as she lost herself in the moment.
Aric obliged, his movements becoming more forceful as he took her completely. The room was filled with the sounds of their bodies moving together, Daniela's cries of pleasure mingling with Aric's heavy breaths. He could feel her tightening around him, her body responding to his every touch, every thrust.
He pushed her to the edge, and then over it, her climax ripping through her with an intensity that left her trembling in his arms. But Aric didn't stop. He continued to move, his pace relentless as he brought her to climax again and again, each time leaving her more exhausted than the last.
Finally, as the first light of dawn began to seep through the window, Aric finished inside her, his own release coming in a shuddering wave of pleasure. Daniela lay beneath him, her body spent, her mind hazy with the remnants of the aphrodisiac. She was too exhausted to move, her head resting on his chest as she drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, Daniela slowly awoke. The warmth of the bed and the strange sensation of another body pressed against hers jolted her into wakefulness. Her heart raced, the events of the previous night flooding her mind with a dizzying rush. As she turned her head slowly, her eyes widened in shock.
Lying beside her, beneath the tangled sheets, was Ye Chen, his bare skin pressed against hers.
The room felt disorientingly still, yet her mind whirled with the remnants of the night's chaos. The rogue cultivators, their attack, and the aphrodisiac that had overwhelmed her senses seemed like fragments of a dark dream she couldn't escape. Yet the evidence was undeniable—Aric's presence beside her was all too real.
Aric's eyes fluttered open, and he met her gaze with a calmness that contrasted sharply with the tension in the room. "What's on your mind?" he asked softly, his voice tinged with genuine concern.
Daniela's lips quivered as she struggled to find her voice. "You… you took my virginity," she whispered, her voice heavy with sadness and disbelief.
Tears began to pool in Daniela's eyes as she shook her head in despair. "I always dreamed of saving myself for someone special. I admired my brother Long Tianyun so much, and now... now it's all been taken from me."
Aric's expression softened, his eyes reflecting a tender sincerity. He gently pulled her closer, his voice soothing as he spoke. "I understand how you feel, Daniela. But there was no other choice. If I hadn't intervened, you might have fallen into the clutches of any man. At that moment, with the aphrodisiac affecting you, this was the only way to protect your dignity."
Daniela's heart ached with a tumultuous mix of grief for the loss of her dreams and gratitude for the man who had saved her from an even worse fate. She searched for words, her thoughts tangled between sorrow and thankfulness. The weight of her emotions left her feeling lost and speechless.
Aric, his eyes filled with a mixture of concern and determination, stood close to Daniela, his voice soothing and reassuring. "If you're unhappy with how things turned out, I will take responsibility. I'll marry you, Daniela. I'll protect you, and I'll help you become a cultivator, so you can stand strong in this world."
Daniela's heart pounded as she processed his words. The offer was so unexpected, so profoundly kind, that it cut through her confusion and fear like a beacon. Her mind was a whirlpool of emotions, each thought colliding with the next.
She had been overwhelmed by the night's chaos and the sudden appearance of a hero in the form of Aric, and now this—an offer of protection, companionship, and the promise of a future she hadn't dared to dream of.
Tears began to flow down her cheeks, unbidden. They were tears of relief, of sorrow, and of a newfound hope that had flickered to life in the darkest of times. Her voice faltered as she tried to speak, her emotions choking off her words. She looked up at Aric, seeing him not just as a savior but as someone who genuinely cared.
Aric gently reached out, brushing a stray tear from her cheek. His touch was tender, and his eyes held a warmth that made her heart ache. He could sense the turmoil within her, and he held her gaze with unwavering resolve.
"Take your time," he said softly. "I'm here for you, Daniela. Whatever you decide, I'll be by your side."
Suddenly, Aric's attention was diverted by a familiar sound—the system's notification chime.
[Ding! Congratulations Host! You gained +5,000 Villain Halo and +30,000 Villain Points for improving your relationship with Daughter of Destiny, Long Daniela.]
[Long Daniela's Favorability: 0 → 50 (Close Friend)]
Aric's heart raced with satisfaction. The system's notification confirmed what he had sensed: Daniela was beginning to see him in a new light. Her favorability had increased significantly, a clear sign that his plan was working.
Seeing her distress, Aric knew that now was the time to address the reality of her situation. He spoke gently, but with a hint of urgency. "So tell me, Daniela, what is your answer? Would you still wish to pursue your brother? What would he think of you? Would he accept you?
And what of your own desires?"
Aric told her, " I know your brother Long Tianyun. He is the first descendant of the Heavenly Demonic Sect. I think you must be already aware of this. I am also a member of the sect. But you both are siblings. Do you think its really appropriate to have that relationship?
Have you ever told him?"
Aric stepped closer, his presence warm and reassuring. "I understand. Long Tianyun is indeed a remarkable figure, and it's natural for you to feel tied to him. But sometimes, the ties that bind us to the past can also keep us from embracing the future."
He paused, his gaze steady and compassionate. "You see, your brother's status is undeniable. But does he see you as more than a sibling? The reality of his position means he may seek companionship from those who share his world, who can stand by his side in the cultivation realm."
Daniela's eyes widened slightly as she absorbed his words. Aric continued, his voice gentle but firm. "And what if, despite all efforts, you never find your place in that world? The path of cultivation isn't one you can easily walk alone, and being a mortal, your opportunities might be limited."
Daniela looked at him, her eyes reflecting a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty. "I… I don't know," she admitted, her voice trembling. "I've always thought of my brother as my protector, my only family. I didn't want to burden him with my troubles or my failures. But you—"
Aric gently cupped her face in his hands, lifting it so that she met his eyes once more. "You don't have to decide everything right now. Take the time you need. But know that I am here for you. Your brother may be a part of your past, but your future can be whatever you choose it to be. And if you choose to walk this path with me, I will ensure that you are protected and valued."
Daniela's heart was touched by Aric's sincerity. The promise of a new beginning with him seemed like a lifeline, pulling her from the shadows of her recent fears and uncertainties.
With a deep breath, she nodded slowly. "Thank you, Aric. I'll think about it. I need time to sort out my feelings and what I want for my future."
Aric smiled, a genuine and warm expression that promised understanding and patience. "Of course. Take all the time you need. I'll be here, ready to support you in whatever you choose."
