Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1373: The phoenix comes to the dragon. Not the other way around. You understand that... right? Part-1~

Drip...

Water softly dripped from Thalia’s wet crimson hair, each droplet tracing a shimmering path down her bare shoulder before falling into the steaming hot spring.

Ripples broke the surface, dancing around her soft curves, mingling with others as the heat clung to her pale skin. She leaned against the cold stone at the edge, a delicious contrast of sensation, her nipples tingling from the chill behind her while her thighs burned from the water.

Thalia’s crimson gaze lingered on Aether, who sat submerged only a few feet away. Mist curled around him, hiding and then revealing the hard lines of his body. His chest rose and fell, droplets trickling over his collarbone, the silver of his hair half-melted against flushed skin.

He looked like a creature made for temptation... powerful, almost dangerous!

Aether’s white, wet hair plastered against his cheeks, his jaw shadowed by steam.

”Hmm...”

He groaned as the hot spring’s heat wrapped his body, every muscle loosening under its touch.

”Fuck, this is perfect...” The low sound slipped from his lips, guttural, his eyes rolling back with pleasure as the warmth soaked deep into flesh and bone.

”Never thought a spring could feel this damn good...”

For a moment, he simply let himself drift, surrendering to the fog and the water.

’This is best... but it’s going to be even more best!’ he mused. He turned his gaze to Thalia, and for a split second, the steam parted enough for him to see... her hair floating like a halo, her breasts half-submerged, the tight rose of her areola peeking above the waterline, nipples stiff from heat and chill.... Or maybe it was the way she watched him!

She was too beautiful for this world, too dangerous!!

He grinned.

”What?” he asked, voice deep and lazy, echoing through the mist.

Thalia frowned, studying his every movement. ”Did you... do ’something’ while I was out?”

Aether blinked and scoffed, ”I’m not the bastard who’d do ’something’ to a girl who was unconscious!” His tone carried a hint of pride, chest puffing out, arms flexing beneath the water.

”Give me a little credit, Thalia.”

How ridiculous of her, thinking him this low!

[... 👀!]

Ahem!

Thalia blinked, then snorted, looking away. ”Pussy,” she muttered under her breath, just loud enough for him to hear. But Aether didn’t rise to the bait; he just watched her, his lips curled in a half-smirk,

”You didn’t tell me why you were unconscious? What happened?”

Thalia’s cheeks flared red, the colour rising to the tips of her ears. There was no way she could tell him the truth... how her own fingers had found their way between her thighs in the dark, how thoughts of him had stoked a fire so bright she’d burned out, gone blank from pleasure.

Hell no!

That’s utterly disgusting!!

Especially telling it to the man who was not even looking at her lustfully! Or maybe he was, and she just wanted more.

”I don’t know...” Thalia shrugged, her voice low and soft, almost lost in the rush of the water. She let her palm dip beneath the surface, cupping the heated spring and slowly pouring it over her shoulder. Her breasts lifted, skin gleaming, water gliding between the deep valley of her cleavage, trailing down to her navel.

”Ha... If only there was wine in my hand... this would be fucking heaven,” she groaned, her lips parted in a sultry sigh, eyelids half-shut as the pleasure of the heat and the fantasy mingled.

Aether hummed, ”Don’t worry, soon everything will be ready and you’ll get everything,” he promised, his gaze slipping over her slick, naked form. He let the words hang, suggestive, a dangerous promise curling at the edges... He winked, just to watch her react.

Thalia smirked, ”Everything?” she echoed, letting her legs drift apart beneath the water, feeling the hot current lick at the sensitive folds of her pussy. She arched her back against the stone, her nipples emerging further, the heavy curves of her breasts rising just above the surface, pale and beaded with droplets.

She looked like a goddess in the steam—untouchable, yet aching to be touched.

”You sure you can handle that, Aether?”

Aether nodded, not breaking eye contact, the tip of his cock throbbing beneath the water at the sight of her brazen pose.

”Yup, everything~” he replied, voice slow and thick, staring into her eyes as if he could see through her, read every filthy thought in her mind.
