Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re) - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Moment of Peace (2)
Third Person’s POV

She laughed softly and the sound was like a melody in the quiet forest.

Their movements slowed and slowly became more intimate and more natural.

Their gazes locked as unspoken emotions lingered between them.

Ethan’s grip tightened around her waist as he slowly leaned in and softly brushed aside her golden bangs with his lips.

He pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead and she shuddered instinctively as she felt his lips warm against her cool skin.

Time seemed to become still around them.

She exhaled shakily as her cheeks became faintly tinged with color.

Vampires rarely showed such visible reactions as their slowed blood flow made blushing and similar expressive emotions uncommon but at this moment, she couldn’t suppress it.

Ethan tilted her chin up as his gaze slowly dropped to her trembling lips.

Seeing the sunset spreading on her beautiful pale face, he closed the distance between them unhurriedly.

While maintaining eye contact with her all this time, he kissed those full red lips.

It was gentle and unhurried similar to a quiet exploration rather than a fierce claiming.

At the same time, it was filled with unspoken promises like a quiet affirmation of everything they had been through together.

Virelle trembled slightly under his touch but didn’t pull away.

This time all her bravado and fierceness seemed to have vanished as she melted in his arms and simply allowed him to do what he wanted.

A soft sigh escaped her as he deepened the kiss and savored the moment as he mapped the contours of her lips with his own.

Looking at her watery eyes that seemed to melt into his own, his heart burned with something fierce.

He knew that it was his possessiveness taking charge as he promised himself that no one would take her from him.

He would not allow it.

When they finally pulled apart, Virelle’s cheeks were flushed and her lips were slightly parted as she panted while her chest heaved.

Ethan smiled as he brushed away a stray tear with his thumb

“You are beautiful,” he whispered with his voice filled with sincerity.

Virelle laughed softly though the sound was tinged with disbelief.

“And you are impossible,” she replied though her watery eyes betrayed her affection.

Ethan’s grin widened as he joked.

“Impossibly charming, you mean.”

Before she could retort, he scooped her up and lifted her effortlessly into his arms.

Virelle let out a surprised yelp as her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.

The melodious and shy sound only fueled the fire within him. Holding her by her thighs, he kissed her again but this time it was with a little more intensity.

It was deeper and more passionate but was still filled with a tenderness that spoke of their bond.

She clung to him tightly as if she was afraid to let go.

Ethan took slow steps backward while he was still lost in their shared heat until his foot met the soft earth of the flower bed.

With a misstep, he tumbled and landed with Virelle atop him.

A startled silence filled the air before she burst into laughter.

It was an unrestrained and joyful laughter that showed her happiness and was a stark contrast to her usual aloof demeanor in Ethan’s eyes.

He was momentarily stunned but soon frowned in mock annoyance.

“You are enjoying this too much,” he grumbled.

Virelle smirked and straddled him while her golden locks cascaded over her shoulders and down to his face as she tilted her face close to his.

“Maybe.”

“You are heavier than you look,” he teased and earned a playful swat from Virelle in return.

“You are the one who dropped us,” she shot back though her laughter softened into a smile while her fingers traced his jaw.

Ethan reached up and tucked a strand of her golden hair behind her ear before he pulled her down for another lingering kiss.

The world around them faded as they lost themselves while wrapped in each other’s warmth and breathing with a newfound certainty.

Velcy returned with two black rabbits in her hands. They were already dead and hung limply from her arm.

These black rabbits were found in abundance in the Dark Forest.

Due to their weakness, they were being hunted in huge quantities by the forest’s predators but they still managed to maintain the largest population in the area.

The most remarkable thing about them was the incredible taste of their meat.

Despite being common and easy to hunt, they were a delicacy and it was especially true for dark element practitioners and Ethan happened to be one.

The natural dark element infused in their meat, bones, and fur made them dark in texture from in and out.

They were highly sought after, not only in this continent but also in the Southern Shadow Lands of the Dark Star Continent.

Velcy was in high spirits and her tail swished lazily behind her as she approached the makeshift camp.

But her steps faltered when she saw the scene before her.

Unlike what she had expected, her Big Brother Ethan Ethan and the woman Virelle were resting on a bed of purple tulips.

Ethan lay down amidst the flowers, his left arm stretched out to the side while Virelle rested her head against it, hugging it close.

Ethan’s violet hair blended seamlessly with the purple tulips, making him appear like a gentle, handsome prince resting in a bed of blossoms.

His expression was neutral but Virelle had a soft smile as she nuzzled into his neck.

His left arm was outstretched, and Virelle rested her head on it while her golden hair spilled over his chest.

They looked serene and almost otherworldly as if they were figures from an ancient painting.

Virelle’s lips curved into a soft smile as she nuzzled closer to Ethan while her crimson eyes were closed in peaceful slumber.

A pang of jealousy struck Velcy as she took in the picturesque sight of the two lying together in each other’s embrace.
