Chapter 252: Happiest day [1/2]
"Thank you everybody. For a long time I wondered why I was even born. The nights were dark and all seemed hopeless. But I am glad that I fought on. Today is the happiest day of my life. Thank you all so much.
I love you all."
Surrounded by the people I treasured, happiness poured out of my entire being. I blew out my candles with a smile. Noelle then clapped her hands with a happy expression.
"Okay, everyone! I'm going to cut the cake!"
The family then shared the cheesecake and enjoyed dessert. Whatever gloomy mood there may have been before seemed to have evaporated. Jasmine and Robyn were all smiles. They left my side and mingled with the rest of the family.
As if it had been discussed beforehand, the ones by my side now were Aki and Lilly. I knew better than to ask, but they revealed their reasons for being here.
"I am your slave. To serve my master is my job, is it not?"
"Then as your master I order you to keep Noelle company."
"I refuse. I heard everything you said to Robyn and Jasmine. Master must spoil me too."
"Dear, I am quite upset about that too. How are you going to make it up to me?"
Like a pair of cute kittens, Lilly and Aki adorably expressed their dissatisfaction. The contrast between them was great. But even though they came from opposite ends of the world, I loved them both.
Feeling a bit mischievous, I grabbed them both by their waists and pulled them to my sides. Neither resisted and simply accepted my caress. I quickly bestowed a depraved kiss on both their collarbones.
If someone saw the three of us. They would assume Lilly was an American supermodel while Aki was a Japanese AV actress.
I moved my hands and grabbed theirs. Slowly I intertwined our fingers, enjoying the softness of their skin. Somehow such intimate hand holding felt more erotic than kissing.
Probably feeling the same as me, they both remained silent and just buried their faces in my shoulders.
I said nothing and just enjoyed being around them. After a few minutes, Aki used her free hand to turn my face towards her. She was staring at me with her brown eyes full of love as she broke the silence.
"Anata. I already belong to you. So I just want to take this moment to tell you how much I love you. Thank you for bringing me back.
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. My heart beats only for you, John Smith. Please continue to take care of me in the future."
We shared a light kiss. After our lips had parted, I somehow felt more intimate with this woman than even when we had engaged in more suggestive acts together.
Aki then embraced me in her arms while giggling childishly. Closing her eyes, she stood up and left my side.
Feeling lonely as she departed, my other hand was suddenly pinched by the American princess.
"Somehow it feels like I am getting NTRed. Hmph!" Lilly complained.
"I'm sure you have a lot of role-playing you wish to try out, Lilly. I will do them all if you forgive me for times like this."
"..."
As if deep in thought, Lilly looked down while she blushed up to her ears.
'As expected from a pervert.'
"You just thought of something rude, didn't you, dear?"
"Nope. I didn't. Anyway, what do you say?" I proposed again.
"Hmm. All of them?"
"Every single one. No matter how depraved or humiliating," I stressed.
"Okay. I'll forgive you just this once. Don't forget your promise, okay?"
"Thank you, dear. My dearest princess is as magnanimous as the heavens."
"Hmph! Jas is right, you are too good at seducing women."
"I could care less about the rest of the world. I would rather be the best at seducing you and the Sirens."
"Hmph! Don't push your luck! I suppose I should follow the others and confess. Would you like that, dear?"
"Only if you want to, Lilly," I reassured her.
"Then I will be brief. John Smith. I love you. I may not have fought with you during the enlistment, but I want to be your woman. That said, I will only allow the Sirens to be your lovers. I forbid anyone else."
Seeing her flawless skin turn pink with bashfulness, I slowly pulled her toward me and sniffed her hair. When she flinched, I smiled and spoke words of affection to the North American princess.
"Lilly Browning, I love you too. I accept your restriction and vow to be loyal only to you and the Sirens. We may not have fought together yet. But I vow that from this day forward, your enemies are mine. Against the undead, against the world, even against fate."
Lilly giggled as she chastised my words.
"My dear, you have a penchant for melodrama."
"I don't want to hear that from you of all people, Lilly. You practically speak in Shakespeare."
"Hmph. Should I try to find my Romeo? He could be more fateful for me, right?"
"Sure. But you should know that he would be dead the moment I see him. I am, after all, extremely possessive. "
"Oh my, truly? Shall I tell you about the numerous rich suitors I have?"
"Please do. I had a quota of body bags to fill anyway," I said with a savage grin.
"Somehow I fear you might actually do it. Behave yourself, dear."
"Then make sure you stay by my side forever. I would be crazy if you suddenly vanished."
"My goodness, our first day as lovers and you are acting so domineering, dear."
"Oh please, you pervert. You knew exactly how I would be," I scoffed.
"I am not a pervert!"
"If you say so, dear."
We both ended up giggling like children. Despite all the problems with Earth and Hellsgate, it was moments like these that I drew strength from. Lilly laughed happily as she rested her chin on my shoulder.
"Dear."
"Yes, dear?" I answered curtly.
"Will you leave me one day?"
"No."
"I see," she replied.
"Will you?"
"Unfortunately, that ship has sailed."
"What do you mean, Lilly?"
"Find out for yourself," Lilly stood up and pulled me towards the others.
"Come dear, the celebration is about to end."
