Chapter 377: Flames of desire

"Venus wants me to go with her on the last day of the Ambermoon Festival," Alora said, her voice carrying a hint of curiosity. She tilted her head to study Magnus, who lay beside her with his eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.

"Why didn’t you tell me there was a festival in town?" she asked with a slight reproach. She leaned in closer, trying to catch his attention.

Magnus slowly opened his eyes, the red hue of his irises catching the light as he turned his head to meet her gaze. "I thought you knew about it," he replied in his calm voice. After a brief pause, he added, "Do you want to go? We can go together. Just the two of us." His hand reached out to her hair, his fingers gently threading through the soft strands as he tenderly caressed them.

Alora’s eyes lit up with excitement at the thought. "Today?" she asked, her voice filled with anticipation, her gaze searching his for confirmation.

Magnus nodded, a small smile playing on his lips as he watched her reaction. "Yes, tonight," he confirmed. "It’s the second day of the festival, and there will be a lot of exciting things to see and experience. I think you’ll enjoy it." His tone was reassuring that made her feel at ease.

Alora’s heart fluttered at the prospect of spending the evening with him at the festival. She was never a part of any festival before. So, it would be her first experienced to witness everything. "That sounds perfect," she murmured, already imagining what the night would bring.

Magnus continued to gently stroke her hair, his touch soothing and affectionate. "Then it’s settled. We’ll go together tonight," he said softly, his eyes never leaving hers.

As Alora began to move away, Magnus tightened his grip on her arm, gently pulling her back towards him. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What is it?" she asked, a slow smile spreading across her lips.

"I have no plans to leave the bed today," Magnus replied, his voice rich with a mix of playfulness and intent.

Alora chuckled, looking away momentarily as she processed his words. "It’s morning, Magnus. If you choose to be lazy now, you’ll waste the entire day," she teased, her tone light but with a hint of admonishment.

Magnus gave a soft, almost mischievous smile. "Does it matter? I’m a prince too, you know. I can afford to take such breaks," he asserted confidently.

As he spoke, he leaned in closer, his nose brushing against hers, their breaths mingling in the small space between them. The warmth of his breath on her lips stirred something within her, fanning the flames of desire that had been simmering just beneath the surface.

Before Alora could respond, Magnus captured her lips in a sensual kiss, his touch both tender and commanding. His lips moved against hers with a deliberate slowness, savoring the taste of her, drawing her deeper into the moment.

When he gently tugged on her lower lip, a soft, sweet moan escaped from her mouth, making him smirk.

Magnus pulled back just enough to meet her gaze, his eyes dark with desire before he captured her lips again in a heated kiss. Alora’s body relaxed against him, her hands finding their place on his bare chest. Her fingers began to trace the contours of his muscles, exploring the hard planes of his body with a tenderness that sent shivers down his spine.

A low growl rumbled from Magnus’s throat, a primal sound of approval that only spurred him to deepen the kiss. His lips moved with more urgency, claiming her mouth as if he couldn’t get enough of her. In response, Alora melted into him, her body responding to the intensity of the moment.

Magnus’s hands slid down to her lower back, his touch firm yet gentle as he guided her to sit astride him. Alora now found herself perched above him, her thighs resting on either side of his hips. The change in position made her heart race, and she could feel the heat of his body seeping into her own.

He looked up at her from this new angle, his hands resting on her thighs, fingers digging into her skin just enough to anchor her there. The way he gazed at her, with a mix of desire and deep affection, made her feel completely seen, completely wanted.

"You’re irresistible, Alora," Magnus murmured, his voice husky and filled with longing. He gently pressed her closer, his hands guiding her movements as if she were a part of him.

"Do you like what I do?" Alora asked, her eyes gleaming a hue of red.

"Yes," Magnus responded.

Suddenly, he sat up, one hand moving to support her back while the other stayed firm on her thigh, holding her securely in place. He lowered his head to the curve of her neck, his lips brushing against her skin before he began to suck on the sensitive spot, drawing a series of moans from Alora.

The sensation sent waves of pleasure coursing through her, her hands instinctively clutching his shoulders for support.

"Magnus, I want—" Her words were cut off by a sharp gasp as she yelped in pain. Magnus had sunk his teeth into her neck, piercing her skin deeply enough to draw blood.

It was a move he had resisted in the past, always mindful of the potential danger, but now, the temptation was too strong to resist. He allowed himself to give in, knowing that Alora’s strength far surpassed his own and trusting that she could stop him if it became too much.

The taste of her blood sent a rush of power through him, heightening his senses and intensifying the bond between them. Despite the pain, Alora’s initial shock gave way to something deeper, an understanding that this was an expression of Magnus’s unfiltered desire. Her body tensed for a moment, then relaxed against him, trusting him even in this vulnerable state.

Magnus pulled back slightly, his lips stained with her blood, his eyes now glowing with a fierce intensity. "I couldn’t stop," he murmured, his voice rough, almost apologetic. Yet, the way he looked at her made it clear that he was struggling with the depths of his need for her.

Alora, despite the sting from the bite, found herself drawn even closer to him. "It’s okay," she whispered, her voice breathy but reassuring. She placed a hand on his cheek, her touch grounding him as she gazed into his eyes. "I’m here with you."

Magnus’s breath hitched at her words, the connection between them stronger than ever. He pulled her into a tight embrace, his lips finding hers once more.

Later, as Alora finished getting ready, she turned to Selvina with a warm smile. "Selvina, why don’t you take a few days off? You’ve been working tirelessly for months. You deserve some time for yourself," she suggested kindly.

Selvina paused, her hands falling from Alora’s hair as she completed the intricate hairstyle. "Your Highness, where would I go? I’ve been doing this work for so long that I enjoy it," she replied with a gentle smile, her dedication evident in her voice.

Alora rose from the velvety chair and turned to face Selvina, taking her hands in her own. "Then why not go to the festival? Have some fun. Or, if you prefer, I could accompany you," Alora offered, her tone sincere and caring.

Selvina’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. "The Ambermoon Festival?" she asked, as if the idea had never occurred to her.

"Yes, the very same," Alora confirmed, her excitement growing. "Who knows, you might even find your soulmate there!" She clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with the possibility, clearly hoping to inspire some enthusiasm in Selvina.

Selvina’s smile grew a little wider, touched by Alora’s thoughtfulness. "Your Highness, you always know how to brighten my day," she said softly. "Perhaps I will visit the festival. It has been a long time since I allowed myself to enjoy such things."

Alora beamed, pleased that her suggestion had found some ground. "That’s the spirit! You never know what surprises the festival might hold." She squeezed Selvina’s hands gently before letting go, her eyes reflecting the same warmth and affection she always showed to those she cared about.

Selvina bowed her head slightly in gratitude. "Thank you, Your Highness. I will take your advice and see what the festival has to offer."

"Sure. Wait! Let me give a dress too," Alora said and moved to the large closet.

"Your Highness, it’s alright. I have many dresses," Selvina asserted.

"Stay quiet, Selvina. You have to look good today. And many of these dresses I’ve not even touched. Come here and select one for you. We have almost same figure, so the dress will fit on you," Alora said, smiling at her. She had a plan to send Griffin to the same festival. Her mission was to bring these two souls together.
