Taira, Lucia, and Keran returned to the sect at around nightfall, and were met at the great stone bridge.
Taira had barely stepped foot over the threshold before a woman fell out of the sky and planted herself in his chest.
Vermeil wrapped her legs around her husband's waist while her hands caressed his hair and ears.
"You were gone for foreverrr!!! I thought I was going to die without you!"
Taira smiled as he felt Vermeil leave her own little bite marks along his neck.
"We're sorry to keep you waiting for so long, my love."
"Sorry, that's not going to cut it, handsome. You know how I like my apologies."
A heat passed into Taira's stomach and he was reminded that a certain hunger of his had remained unfulfilled for a while now.
Vermeil smiled provocatively as she brought her full lips beside his ears.
"I have a surprise for you, darling~ Tonight will be very special for us."
"Is that so..? And why is that?"
