Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 191: A Night To Remember

Something soft pressed against Ethan's lips, and subconsciously, he opened his mouth in response.

Through the haze in his mind, a faint memory appeared.

A memory from when he was suffering from the backlash of his other half taking over his body after fighting against the Three Great Tribes that attacked the stronghold of the Allied Tribes.

That was the darkest moment of Ethan's life.

He had lived a simple yet peaceful life, away from wars and other great conflicts.

He had always been safe, never experienced true hunger, and had a roof above his head with a warm bed to sleep in at night.

But all of those things changed when he stepped into the past with Lily.

The young lady whom he had fought in the Clash of Manors had been with him through his times of weakness.

Truth be told, after everything that he had experienced, Ethan thought that he was really pathetic.

A weakling.

A one-trick pony, who could only depend on Partial Resonance to do the job for him.

It was precisely the reason why, when his one-trick didn't work against the Wendigo, a crack appeared in his heart and, through it, fear planted its seed.

This seed took root and grew, slowly making him understand what he really was.

A somewhat lucky person who managed to discover one of the secrets of the world, and thought of himself as someone special.

When the Allied Tribe referred to him as the Tide Bringer, it didn't make him feel special. On the contrary, he only felt increased anxiety because people were once again placing high expectations on his shoulders.

Expectations that he didn't want yet were forced to shoulder due to the current circumstances.

Sometimes, Ethan would think that life was unfair.

Despite that, compared to others, he was aware that he was considered to be one of the lucky ones.

He had done his very best and fought his hardest, but it still wasn't enough.

If his other half hadn't woken him on time, perhaps, the warmth of the person who was embracing him right now would have ceased to exist.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and soon fell from them.

When the softness that was pressing on his lips disappeared, Ethan slowly opened his eyes and looked up at one of the most beautiful young ladies he had seen in his life.

"Are these tears of joy?" Lily asked in a teasing tone. "Are you that happy that I secretly kissed you while you were sleeping?"

Lily wiped the tears from his eyes before kissing him for the second time. She then looked at him with a devilish smile on her face as if she had done something mischievous.

Something warm spread inside Ethan's heart as he reached out to hold the back of her head, and slowly pulled her to him.

This time, Ethan was the one who initiated the kiss. Unlike the kiss they shared a few hours ago that was tinged with blood, this kiss tasted so sweet that Ethan couldn't get enough of it.

He kissed Lily and kissed her some more, only stopping after a few minutes.

When the kiss ended, Lily looked down at him with an affectionate look in her eyes that glowed faintly in the dimly lit room.

An oil lamp burned at the side of the room, casting shadows over the two teenagers who were gazing at each other.

Both of them were asleep for half a day, and it was only two hours until midnight.

Half of the people inside the city were resting, while the other half were awake and keeping watch over the Undead Army on the other side of the shore.

But at that moment, Ethan and Lily didn't care about them or the Necromancer who nearly killed the two of them.

Ethan propped himself up from the bed and took Lily's hand. He then led her toward the other room, where a private bath was waiting for them.

When they were in the Pyramid, they slept in the Master bedroom that belonged to the Tide Bringer.

It was a very spacious room, complete with all amenities including a small pool that overlooked the entire city from on top of the pyramid.

There was some kind of protective magic placed on it, preventing anyone from seeing the pool from the outside.

However, those who bathed in it wouldn't have their vision obstructed, and they would be able to see one of the most scenic views in the Lands of Alastor.

Unfortunately, this scenic view was nowhere to be found at the moment. Instead of star-filled skies, dark clouds covered the heavens.

Instead of a prosperous city, only a glum sight could be seen.

But for the two teenagers who were stripping off each other's clothes one by one, none of that mattered.

Due to the refined blood of the Tide Bringer that flowed inside Ethan's veins, his body was naturally clean because it automatically dispersed any dirt that clung to him.

Lily, who had also drank this blood, shared the same benefits.

Her skin, as white as cream, was smoother than ever before. It also looked more youthful and healthier, increasing Lily's charm by several levels.

Soon, the sound of water lightly splashing echoed silently in the night as Ethan and Lily waded into the pool.

"You're beautiful, Lily," Ethan said as he gently washed her body with his hands, making sure to clean every nook and cranny.

"Tell me something that I don't already know," Lily replied as she leaned her back against Ethan's chest after the latter finished washing her body.

"I think I've fallen in love with you," Ethan commented.

"You only think?" Lily asked in a teasing tone.

"No. I have fallen in love with you."

"Better."

Lily turned around to look at Ethan before planting a kiss on his forehead.

She then kissed his nose, his cheeks, and finally his lips.

Although the night was cold, the flames of love ignited their bodies, stoking the feelings that had slowly bloomed after spending time with each other.

As their lips passionately sought each other, their hands moved with wanton abandon, caressing each other, further fanning the flames that would soon blaze out of control.

When Ethan felt Lily's hand moving downwards, he pulled back from their kiss.

"Let's continue this in the bedroom," Ethan said hoarsely, which made Lily shyly nod her head.

Walking hand in hand, the water droplets on their body dispersed as Ethan used his magic to dry their bodies.

When they arrived at the bed, the two of them kissed again one more time before staring at each other's eyes.

"My father has five wives," Lily said softly.

At first, Ethan didn't understand why she said those words to him. But after looking at Lily's loving gaze, it finally dawned on him what she was trying to say.

"Understood," Ethan replied before lowering the young beauty's soft, and seductive body on the bed.

No more words were needed to be spoken, for they had already said what they wanted to say.

Both of them were inexperienced, but love found a way.

The moment the two of them became one, a gasp escaped Lily's lips as she clenched the bed sheet made up of animal skin.

Seeing her pained expression, Ethan didn't move right away and proceeded to kiss her cheeks, whispering words of love into her ears.

Lily found the gesture of the handsome young man endearing, but she decided that it was time to make Ethan understand something.

The young beauty held Ethan's hands and guided them to her breasts. She then looked at him with a challenging gaze as if daring him to have his way with her.

"I already told you this, but I'm not a damsel in distress," Lily said with a seductive smile on her face. "I guarantee you that I won't break easily, so please… make love to me as if this is our last night together."

Hearing her words, Ethan felt as if a string had snapped inside his mind.

Flames of lust and desire burned inside the young man's chest as he embraced Lily entirely in her own words.

Due to his enhanced physique, Ethan's body had gotten stronger and his stamina greater. Soon, the young lady under him realized that she might have awakened a monster that should have been left alone.

Lily drew in a deep breath when Ethan started to move his hips and thrust into her.

If she only knew how much he had been holding back in order to control his lust and love for her, she might have considered choosing better words to provoke him.

However, what was done was done, so Lily could only helplessly cling to his body as he moved deeper inside of her with every thrust.

It was a very sweet, intimate, and terrifying experience, but Lily had no regrets.

She even thought that it would have been regrettable if she died without experiencing something as profound as making love with the person whom she had developed feelings for.

With her hands wrapped around his head and her legs intertwined around his waist, Lily's body shuddered.

At the same time, Ethan clung to her body and groaned, releasing his seed deep inside of her.

A minute later, both panted for breath, but they didn't let each other go, holding each other in a firm embrace.

When they finally regained their composure, Lily whispered something in Ethan's ears that made the latter look at her with an affectionate gaze.

"I didn't think that you would be the one to take my first time," Lily said as she cupped Ethan's face. "But, I have no regrets. How about you?"

"How can I regret loving you?" Ethan replied as he pressed his forehead over her own. "Lily, we will be together forever, right?"

"If you can convince my father, then yes," Lily answered before pecking Ethan's lips. "But then again, even if you fail to convince him, it won't change anything. You are my first man, and you have already marked me as your woman.

"Our Tribe has very strict rules regarding this matter, so even if my Father beats you until you are half-dead, make sure to continue loving me, okay?"

Ethan smiled as he placed his palms on Lily's thigh, moving it higher.

Actions speak louder than words, and that was what he did.

He lowered his head and sank his "fangs" into Lily's tender breast before once again moving his hips.

The handsome young man made love to his "wife" again and again until all the remaining fears inside her heart vanished without a trace.
