The Fallen Vampire

Chapter 73  Lucia Amarok? Lucia Amarok!

When Lucia finally stopped kissing Taira, an expression like that of a drunk woman could be seen on her face.

"T-That felt a lot better than I thought it would… Ah, right!"

Not letting herself be swept away in the moment, Lucia shook her head firmly before she recited the speech she had been practicing for a week.

"Right then… I love you, Taira. I know that you probably already knew that since I may not have been the most subtle, but… I don't want to do that anymore." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lucia brought her face closer and closer to Taira's, and he believed that she was going to kiss him again.

He was trying to expel her poison out of his system as fast as he could, but he was still going to need a few minutes at most.

However, Lucia did not kiss him as he had expected her to.

Instead she spoke to him softly and in a voice filled with desire, while stroking his face like a maiden who was madly in love.

Taira had begun to feel conflicted.

Though Lucia's actions were incredibly stimulating and stirring his emotions quite a bit, he had begun to feel like he was betraying Enyo.

But Lucia's next words served to dash away all of those negative feelings.

"Enyo…has already given me her blessing to do this…"

'She gave me away?!'

"I want to walk firmly alongside the both of you… even if my position is to be below hers, I still want-Ack!"

The poison circulating through Taira's system had finally been expunged giving him free reign over his body again.

And the first thing he did was reverse the positions of he and Lucia, allowing him to loom over her.

"Do you know what I don't like about you, Lucia..?"

Not even allowing her to answer, Taira placed a clawed finger over the lips of the lamia.

"You're one of the most wonderful women that I have ever known, and yet you are woefully unconfident. This is a paradox that is every bit as mystifying as it is frustrating."

Lucia said nothing, and instead smiled sheepishly underneath Taira like she had no defense.

Seeing her like this once again put a wry smile on his own face.

Sometimes, this girl seemed truly helpless.

It made him worry about what kind of trouble she could get into if she were left to her own devices with no one to protect her.

Perhaps that singular thought was what helped him to make his decision easier.

Pushing his hair out of his eyes, he laughed wryly as he stared up at the crescent moon above.

"I was not excepting this to be the way I realized my own feelings. And since Enyo has apparently given you her blessing…"

Taira lowered his gaze and stared down at Lucia with the same amount of obsessiveness and attraction that she had shown him.

"Then there exists no other reason why I should not make you mine. I would have normally elected to make sure that you knew what you were getting into, but given the drastic measures that you took to come this far, I'd wager that my warnings would change nothing."

"They wouldn't." Lucia said adamantly.

"Just as well. I don't believe that I could let you get away from me even if you changed your mind."

This time, Taira brought his lips to Lucia's of his own volition, and the gesture was much sweeter and more meaningful the second time around.

While Lucia's mind was still addled, Taira broke their kiss and pressed his forehead against hers in a display of affection.

"Lucia… say that you will be my wife. If you do, both you and Enyo will have my unconditional love and devotion. There is no need for one of you to be above or below the other."

"I see… of course I will…!"

Before the two newlyweds could kiss again to cement their status, the sound of clapping could be heard from the window.

"Hooray!"

"Congratulations!"

"…yay."

Looking up, the two of them found Keran, Vermeil, and even Aveena staring at them through the window.

While their oni houseguest did not look quite as happy as the other two, the girls were applauding so fiercely that it was hardly noticeable.

A moment later, the two of them also came outside to offer their congratulations.

It was decided that another feast would be prepared tonight, as a way to truly celebrate their unification.

Keran also wanted to know what her beloved had learned after spending a week out doing reconnaissance.

After the joyful moment had ended, the new couple were shooed upstairs to the waiting Enyo.

They found her in the bathroom, wrapped in nothing but a bath towel and checking the temperature of the water.

When she felt the two of them come in, a wide smile formed on her lips.

"I'm glad to see everything went well. The bath is ready for all of us if you're both ready."

Taira hardly needed to be told twice as he was already rather pent up and the sight of his wife in a towel was doing wonders to sap away his rationality.

His kimono and pants practically flew off his body, and he turned to Lucia and started to help her undress as well.

While she was a little shy, she did not object to this act and let him do whatever he wanted without a fuss.

Taira had already seen Lucia's body once before, but there was something different about it tonight.

Her delicate pink skin now seemed to have a natural glow to it that made her irresistible to her husband.

And judging by the look in her eyes, she seemed to appreciate his just as much.

Taira lifted both girls over his shoulders and carried them into bath.

The three of them sank into the hot water and got acquainted with what would become their new normal.

As their husband, Taira got to enjoy the privilege of the girl's ultimate affection.

As they talked, Enyo would continuously grope and frisk him; which in turn fueled Lucia's jealousy and boldness.

Soon, both girls were running their hands along places they shouldn't have been, and Taira was left as the one to deal with the consequences of their actions.

However, he had already chosen to play the long game.

Since he was tired of being interrupted in the middle of his endeavors; he decided that he would wait until after dinner to engage in depravity.

But it was a decision he would sorely come to regret.

The girls seemed to have decided beforehand that they were going to do everything that they could to push their husband over the edge.

Therefore, Taira could barely get through dinner without having either of the girls grope him under the table.

The amount of times he stuttered as he tried to explain what he had observed over the course of the week was not small.

Despite the excitement he felt over getting to eat a real dinner for the first time, he couldn't hold his focus long enough to taste anything.

Eventually, dinner came to a rather swift and decisive end when both Enyo and Lucia became drunk and were significantly less secretive about their groping.

Leaving Taira to once again hoist the two very drunk women over his shoulder and carry them to their bedroom.

Since they wanted to seduce him so badly, he would give them more of him than they could possibly handle.
