The True Ascension
Chapter 34: The night continues*

Chapter 34: The night continues*

Isis rose from the bed in complete silence, like a shadow gliding smoothly across the room without disturbing even the slightest trace of air. Her palms met in a single sharp clap that echoed through the room like an authoritative whisper, an abrupt sound that seemed to slice through time and space itself. *Clac!* The crystalline sound rang against the walls, breaking the dense, almost tangible atmosphere that filled the air, like a sharp blade dividing the moment into two distinct parts. Astrid and Aziz, still locked in an embrace filled with vulnerability and emotion, flinched slightly, their hearts skipping a beat at the sudden interruption.

With slow, graceful, almost ceremonial steps, Isis crossed the room, her bare feet gliding across the floor as if performing a secret, deliberate dance. Each step was measured, laden with meaning, as though every movement had been rehearsed to exude undeniable authority. There was something in her posture that transcended mere walking—it was the majestic presence of an enchanting queen, fully aware of her own power, staging her triumphant entrance on the quiet stage of that room. It was a silent parade, a performance meant only for Aziz’s eyes, who followed her with a mixture of fascination and a growing, almost hypnotic attention.

Her slender body moved with the confidence of someone intimately familiar with her own power—and more than that, someone who knew exactly how to wield it with cold, precise mastery. Each step seemed to thud in Aziz’s chest like a muffled drum, a deep rhythm that made the air around them tremble, creating a tension nearly tangible between the two.

Upon reaching the boy, Isis raised her pale, elegant arm, her long and delicate fingers hovering for a second in the air before grasping Aziz’s chin firmly and possessively, as if holding complete control over the moment. Her touch was cold, an almost ethereal sensation, yet it carried a raw, ritualistic sensuality, as though that contact itself held deep, enigmatic significance.

Her blood-red eyes, shining with a wild intensity, locked onto his, vibrating with the cunning of a predator in wait. A wide, predatory smile curled on her crimson lips, revealing sharp white fangs, glinting even under the muted dimness of the room, like beacons of a silent threat.

Aziz blinked, clearly confused, a mixture of surprise and unease painted across his face. He was about to ask if she was mad about the kisses with Sofia and Zia—but before his voice could even take shape, Isis silenced him with words both cutting and sweet, laced with venomous irony.

"Well... I’m glad you didn’t try to make excuses for your delay, my young master." She tilted her head slightly, her voice wrapped in mystery and amusement, gliding like honey over sharpened blades. "After all, we saw everything... from beginning to end."

Ba-dum.

The sound of Aziz’s heart almost seemed audible in that moment, pounding loudly like a drum announcing an impending battle.

His eyes widened in shock and surprise.

"I-is that..."

He quickly turned to his mother, his muscles tense, confusion etched into every line of his youthful expression.

"M-mom, i-if you knew everything from the start, then why did you act so strangely?"

Astrid averted her gaze, a rare blush creeping up her delicate cheeks. Her expression faltered for a moment, then she cast a sidelong glance at Isis—a look heavy with shame, provocation, and perhaps a touch of veiled jealousy. It was the look of someone who had been exposed... and knew it.

Isis simply responded with a mischievous, almost childish smile, pleased and triumphant with the small emotional chaos she had provoked. She let out a soft, theatrical sigh, her eyes sparkling with amusement, as if savoring each reaction in their little game.

Taking advantage of Aziz still being distracted, turned away from her, Isis leapt onto him with the lightness of a living shadow. A muffled thud echoed as her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms encircled his neck in a tight, firm embrace.

Aziz barely had time to react before he felt a gentle nibble on his ear.

Nhac.

Then, a warm tongue traced across his skin, followed by a soft breath—Fffff...—that sent a shiver coursing down his spine, like a jolt of electricity.

"My young master..." whispered Isis, her voice syrupy, thick with seductive provocation. "I need a little refill... I’m feeling a bit hungry."

She buried her face in his neck, inhaling deeply with a primal hunger.

Snnnnif.

Aziz shivered from the gesture, a chill running up the back of his neck. He sighed, half resigned, half yielding to the intense, strange situation.

"But you already drank my blood this morning, didn’t you?"

Isis pulled her face away, making the saddest, most miserable expression she could manage, almost like a performance. Her golden eyes turned into two pleading pools, her lower lip trembling as if she were about to cry.

"I know my young master would never deny me his blood..." she said, drawing out her voice like a needy child. "And he wouldn’t let me starve, right?"

Aziz sighed in surrender. He was well aware of the exaggeration—and she knew it too. Still, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

Realizing she had won, Isis lit up completely. The face once contorted in a tragic show now gleamed with a radiant, victorious smile, shining with the satisfaction of her success.

Aziz shook his head, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips—tired, but charmed by that strange, irresistible creature.

He walked to the bed with Isis still clinging to him like a loving serpent, her arms gripping him with firm affection and desire. As he sat down, she slid into his lap with calculated movements, settling with comfort and possessiveness, as if that spot had always belonged to her.

She gazed at him with a cryptic look, her half-lidded eyes glowing with eager expectation, filled with unspoken promises.

"Raise your arms, please."

Without thinking much, Aziz obeyed. With slow and deliberate motions, Isis removed the upper part of his clothes, leaving his chest and abdomen completely bare beneath the soft shadows of the room.

Her eyes traced his musculature carefully—broad shoulders, well-defined arms, the chiseled abs, clear evidence of years of rigorous training and relentless dedication. Her hands glided across his skin with quiet reverence, as if studying a masterpiece carved in flesh and soul.

Astrid, who had been watching everything in silence, didn’t want to be left out of that charged, intimate moment. She approached the bed with the gentleness of a whisper, like a delicate secret. Sitting behind Aziz, she wrapped her arms around him from behind, pressing her breasts against his back in an enveloping, maternal gesture. Her hands rested on his abdomen, warm, soft, protective, and her head settled gently on his shoulder, as if to transmit all the safety in the world through that single contact.

Feeling the warmth of both women—the intimate presence of one and the embracing affection of the other—Aziz let out a deep sigh, as if that moment could completely fill him. The sensation was wonderful, a fleeting instant of peace and genuine connection. In moments like that, he felt like he was truly a lucky person.

Soon after, Isis, unable to wait any longer, brought her lips to Aziz’s exposed neck. She first licked slowly and sensually, each movement laden with intent, then sank her fangs in with almost artistic precision.

Slurp... slurp... slurp...

She began to drink delicately, in slow, rhythmic motions—as if savoring something precious, rare, and divine, as if her very ecstasy depended on that moment.

"Mmmh."

Aziz let out a soft, muffled moan. He was already used to the sensation... but for some inexplicable reason, this time felt different—deeper, more intense.

He brought one of his hands to Isis’s long, silky black hair, stroking it gently in slow, tender gestures from top to bottom, as if trying to hold on to time itself through that touch.

But something started to feel strange.

His body, which had previously been calm and relaxed, began to heat up. At first it was subtle—a faint warmth under the skin. Then it grew stronger, almost feverish, like live embers igniting at the center of his chest. A pulsing heat, spreading like a silent fire through his veins, unseen but unstoppable.

"Haaah... haaah..." His breathing grew short and ragged, cut through by a rising tension building in every fiber of his body.

And then... Isis, who until then had been still, simply drinking his blood, began to move her hips.

Slowly. Rhythmically.

Facing him. Back and forth.

Teasing him.

As if a new game had just begun.

So, what did you think of this Chapter? Did you enjoy the denser, more sensual and symbolic tone of the scene? This was my first time experimenting with this kind of atmosphere, so I really want to know if it worked, if it felt well-written, or if there’s anything I could improve. Constructive criticism is always welcome — no matter how direct — because I truly want to grow as a writer.

In the next Chapter, things will get even hotter... It’ll be my first time writing a more intense, heated scene.
