The dragon's harem

Chapter 379 Aellaʼs Night II: Compromises [R-18]

Arad backed away, staring at Aellaʼs chest, baffled for a second. As his heartbeat, the blood rushed to his head and cleared his mind, the child inside went back to sleep.

^[It didnʼt take long,]^ Doma giggled, surprised at how fast Aradʼs draconic blood got him back to his senses. Arad might have lied, saying heʼs a red draconic bloodline sorcerer, but he seems to have human blood running in him instead.

”Are you okay?” Aella asked, staring at his face with a worried stare.

Arad smiled, shaking his head, ”Iʼm fine, just zoned out for a second.” He stared at her chest, ”They have milk in them,”

”I mean, they should.” She looked at Arad, her head tilted with a puzzled stare. ”Right?”

”You ask me? I donʼt know,” Arad looked at Zephyr, ”You didnʼt tell me.”

”Discovery is the key,” Zephyr stared at them with an amused smile. ”Keep going. There is much ahead of you.”

Arad stared at Zephyr with a suspicious face, ”Fine,” He looked back at Aella, ”Letʼs keep going,”

”You sure?” Aella stared at him, touching his forehead, ”You seemed surprised, more than I ever saw you before.”

Arad shook his head, grabbing her breasts in his hands, ”Worry not, Iʼm fine,” He closed his eyes. ^I should stay away from those for now. Too much to handle.^ He stared at her nipples.

Aella gasped, her body writhing as Arad kissed her stomach, stopping at her belly button and forcing her to jerk back.

”Donʼt run away,” Arad stared at her with a smile, and she cried, looking away, ”It tickles,”

Arad looked up at her face through her chest, ”Is it?” As he was about to stop, a gust of wind rushed across the room, ”Donʼt stop. Follow the instructions,” Zephyr was lying on her hammock, facing the other with her eyes closed as if asleep. ”When she says no, she means yes.”

”That doesnʼt make sense,” Arad sighed, and Zephyr giggled, ”You lack experience. Just do what I say for now. It will make sense later,”

”Iʼm fine, keep going, donʼt mind me,” Aella gasped, her eyes closed and her arms gently tucked behind her back.

Arad blinked, licking her all the way down her stomach, and then grasped the remaining edges of her dress, slowly pulling down as he licked down her thigh.

Aella gasped for air, squeezing her legs together, but Arad ignored her faint moans as he reached her knees, pulling the dress down her feet. He then stopped, pondering for a second.

”The choice is up to you,” Zephyr waved her hand, ”This is as far as I take you.” She closed her eyes, and Arad couldnʼt be mistaken. She really fell asleep.

^[See you later. Iʼm locking your Mom as well,]^ Doma flicked her finger, locking herself away with Mom deep into Aradʼs head. They couldnʼt connect with him even if they wanted unless someone got badly hurt.

Arad stared up between Aellaʼs legs at her red face. It was just the two of them. Ever since he was born, this is the first time mom left him without a valid reason like stopping a curse. No, Doma must be using the same principle to keep her away as well.

”Weʼre alone,” Arad sighed, thinking for himself for a second. Zephyr gave him an idea that he didnʼt want to follow but left the decision in his hand.

^Aella isnʼt honest. You havenʼt broken her out of her shell yet. Appeal to the elf inside her.^ Arad thought, staring at Aellaʼs glowing green eyes.

”Arad, what is it?” Aella gasped, ”Thatʼs a weird look on your face,”

noticed that he was, for the first time, stuck debating a difficult decision.

Arad then smiled, a giggle escaping his mouth, ”I have to give it to Zephyr,” He nodded, ”Sheʼs really something. I need to show her more respect,”

”What?” Aella stared at him, ”What are you going on about? What did she tell you?”

Arad looked at Aella, ”The essence of love, the foundation of relationships, and the main building block of companionship. I shouldnʼt seek to be a good father before being a good husband,” He smiled, ”Compromises, thatʼs the heart of every relationship,”

As Aella looked at Arad, confused. He bent down, kissing the tip of her foot.

BAM! Aella lunged back to the corner of the room, her heart pounding like drums as she stared at Arad, her eyes shaking and unable to look away from him.

Arad stood up, ”Come here, why are you running?”

^Sheʼs an elf, I should have noticed earlier. From the first day at the inn, it was obvious. All this time sheʼs been keeping it away, compromising her feelings for me, she could have asked from the start, but didnʼt.^ Arad growled, ^And what did I do? Just stood there and took it? Is Mira the same, have I been ignoring their feelings all this time? What have I missed,^

”Arad,” Aella mumbled, staring at his face.

Arad stopped, staring at himself in the mirror. His face was twisted, veins bulging on his forehead and his eyes bloodshot.

^Idiot! Youʼre doing it again, getting angry will only make her worry more. Avoid it, suppress it, you donʼt need to get angry as long as you fix it,^ Arad took a deep breath and smiled, ”Sorry, I was angry at myself.”

”At yourself?” Aella approached him, ”For what?”

Arad hugged her, ”For not looking at you, for not thinking about you how you think about me.” He lifted her in his arms, ”Sorry for ignoring you all this time,”

”You werenʼt ignoring me! What did Zephyr tell you?”

”What she said doesnʼt matter,” Arad kissed Aella on the forehead, ”Letʼs forget about the eggs for a while and focus on ourselves,” He sat on the bed, Aella on his lap, ”What do you want to do?”

Aella looked around, ”Can we keep going? In a place less...you know.”

Arad smiled, ”You donʼt trust Kinʼs barrier, neither do I,” Arad expanded his wings and both he and Aella got covered by their clothes.

”The crows told me of a beautiful place, a lake at a mountain peak lit by the silver moonlight,” As Arad smiled, ZON! Both he and Aella disappeared.

Aella opened her eyes, seeing the capital far below on the horizon. She was standing beside a clean white bed. Sitting beside a clean lake reflecting the moonlight.

Aella turned around, seeing Arad, behind the bed, his draconic wings reflecting a dark shadow over her as they got sucked back into him.

Aella smiled, pulling her robe over her shoulder and dropping it to the ground. She took a light step toward the bed and sat at the edge, then laid on her back, ”Come, letʼs do it until we canʼt see the stars,”
