Urban Plundering: I Corrupted The System! - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: The Claiming of Lost Time
Maya stepped closer, the distance between them evaporating like morning mist. When her body pressed against his, skin meeting skin, the contact ignited something that transcended physical sensation. A current passed between them—not of his cosmic power, but something older, more fundamental. Recognition on a cellular level.

Their bodies remembered each other from across time and space, from eight lifetimes shared as husband and wife across different realities.

The sensation wasn’t new—it was ancient, familiar, like returning to a homeland long forgotten. Their souls hummed in perfect harmony, recognizing their counterparts across the Nine lives as though no time had passed at all. His arms encircled her waist, finding the exact contours they had always known, while her hands traced patterns on his skin that she had mapped across centuries.

“No more waiting,” she commanded, her voice carrying the weight of eight lifetimes of memories. “No more excuses. Show me what seventeen years of wanting looks like.”

The air between them charged with potential—not just desire, but the collision of souls that had always been meant to find each other, again and again, across the infinite tapestry of existence.

Their bodies knew the dance even when their minds forgot; their hearts had kept time across centuries of separation.

This was no mere reunion. This was cosmic realignment—the universe correcting a seventeen-year anomaly in a pattern that had persisted across millennia.

Parker’s restraint—maintained for nearly two decades—finally shattered. He lifted her again, carrying her to the bed with urgent purpose. As he laid her down, following her onto the soft surface, his eyes never left hers.

“I’m going to spend the rest of my eternity making up for those wasted years, dear my Empress!” he promised, his voice thick with emotion and desire.

Maya’s smile was both tender and fierce as she pulled him closer. “Starting now.”

Her hands traced the sculpted contours of his chest, fingertips dragging slowly across the flawless ridges—each line of muscle drawn as if the gods themselves had etched him with worship. His skin was warm beneath her touch, humming with restrained energy, like starlight pulsing beneath flesh.

He didn’t move. He just let her explore him—let her see him. After seventeen years of distance, of denial, of holding back every whisper of want… he gave her this moment. No armor. No magic. Just him.

Maya’s hands found the edge of his waistband, and for a heartbeat, she hesitated. Not from doubt—hell no—but because she wanted to remember this. Every inch. Every second. Then she tugged downward, undressing him in one slow, reverent motion. As the last layer fell, her breath caught, and her gaze swept over him—hungry, reverent, stunned.

He was beautiful.

Her hands glided over the firm sculpture of his chest again, reverent in every sweep, like she was learning the shape of a memory made real. His breath hitched—barely—but it was enough.

She could feel the way he allowed her to unravel him, slowly, like silk from a spool.

“Years of imaginations are over,” she whispered against his skin, her lips brushing his collarbone as her fingers worked the fastening of his belt. One tug, then another, deliberate, slow. “And not once did I picture it this perfect.”

She undressed him off the last pieces without a shred of hesitation, every piece of clothing peeled away like unveiling divinity. Her gaze devoured him, slow and awed—like witnessing a celestial event up close. The man beneath the fabric was not the same boy she knew, but the man she remembered in all those memories of what now Nine lives, her Husband. Carved by the stars of existence, chiseled by concepts beyond time, power, and everything he had represented.

“Reality… exceeds every fantasy,” she said, breathless, her fingers brushing lower, her lips following in a trail of warmth and worship.

He didn’t speak.

Parker watched her eyes darken as they roamed over him, her gaze like physical touch raising goosebumps across his skin. The hunger in her expression matched his own—primal, unrestrained, and gloriously human despite the cosmic forces now residing within him.

“You’re magnificent,” she whispered, her voice reverent as her palms pressed against the hard planes of his abdomen.

Their lips met again, but this kiss was different—no longer testing or questioning, but claiming.

His hands tangled in her hair, angling her face to deepen the connection. Her fingers dug into his shoulders, pulling him impossibly closer as though trying to eliminate seventeen years of separation in a single moment.

Bodies pressed together, skin against skin, they fell into a rhythm as ancient as time itself. Every touch sparked cascades of sensation, each caress erasing another moment of their long separation.

Parker’s control—usually perfect—wavered under her touch, causing the lights in the room to flicker and dim in response to his fluctuating energy.

“Don’t hold back,” Maya commanded against his lips, sensing his struggle for restraint. “Not anymore. Not with me.”

The permission unleashed something primordial within him. His kisses grew more demanding, his touch more insistent. The air around them charged with static electricity, the physical manifestation of desire too long denied.

Outside, storm clouds gathered unexpectedly over Manhattan, responding to the power surging between them.

Inside, time lost all meaning as seventeen years of denial transformed into something magnificent. Their bodies moved together in perfect synchronicity, remembering a dance they had performed across eight lifetimes.

Each touch, each movement, each breathless moment built upon centuries of shared intimacy that transcended mere physical connection.

Maya’s head rested on Parker’s chest, his fingers tracing idle patterns along her spine.

“Why did you wait so long?” she asked, her voice soft in the darkness. “The real reason.”

Parker was silent for a long moment, considering. “I was afraid,” he finally admitted. “Not of external threats or cosmic dangers. I had a promise to keep, and don’t ask me what. I had to protect my first childhood love..Also by then only you remembered our pastz heck, I had no knowledge of even powers existing and me being above it all. By then I was weak and didn’t want to see you hurt.”

“And now?” She lifted her head to look at him, her hair cascading over his chest like liquid midnight.

His smile was genuine, touched with wonder. “Now Iremember your not a weakness. You’re my strength, always been. Also the promise is now useless with my awakening.”

Maya settled back against him, satisfaction evident in every line of her body. “You have a lot to make up for.”

Parker’s arms tightened around her, his lips pressed to her hair. “I intend to spend every day trying.”

For seventeen years, he had been the master of his own isolation. Now, finally, he belonged to her. And in that belonging, he had found a power greater than any cosmic force he had ever wielded.

But for now, it was time to satisfy her imaginations!
