Under the control of the Blood Enchantment, Leon knew very well how it made a person more forward. After all, he had experienced it himself two years ago.
He never thought that two years later, Rossweise would turn the tables completely, swapping their roles of who was in charge.
Trapped by the enchanting waves of affection, Leon's once tense body relaxed all at once. The dragon tattoo on his chest began to glow in response.
Rossweise's nightgown was made of a light, thin fabric. It now gave off a soft purple light, outlining her perfect curves with a tempting silhouette.
With a victorious smile, Rossweise reached out and pinched Leon's nose. "In the past, I forced you. I threatened you. But soon, you will be as proactive as a clingy little puppy. You will beg me, you will coax me to be with you~."
Her fingertips trailed down Leon's nose, over his lips and chin, and finally came to rest on his chest. "What will you do, my brave and fearless dragon slayer? Can you control yourself in a moment like this? Hmm?"
As the glow from the dragon tattoo on Rossweise's chest grew brighter, Leon knew he was about to be completely enchanted. He clenched his fists, his nails digging lightly into his palms. He tried to use the pain to stay conscious, but it was a useless struggle.
In Leon's eyes, Rossweise changed from a cunning dragon queen into his adorable and delicate wife. She was so beautiful, so captivating. All the good words used to describe her did not feel like enough.
So, the desire to hug her, to kiss her, to become one with her, took over completely.
Rustle—
Leon unclenched his fist. His hand slid smoothly up Rossweise's leg, brushed over the warm hollow of her knee, glided over the silky nightgown, and gently wrapped around her waist.
Staring at those tempting lips, Leon moved closer and closer. Rossweise slowly leaned in to meet him. The next moment, he could feel Rossweise's warm breath brushing against his face.
But suddenly, a cool touch met his lips. Rossweise lightly pressed her index finger against them.
With a charming smile, she asked, "Do you want to kiss me?"
Leon's pupils shook. He answered weakly, "Want…"
"How much do you want? Hmm?"
"So much… so much…"
"But I will not let you."
Rossweise seemed in no hurry to move to the next step. She enjoyed teasing Leon like this, making the burning desire inside him grow even hotter.
Suddenly, Rossweise raised her right hand. A glow formed into a mirror. Leon glanced at it, his breathing heavy. "What is this…"
"It is a magical item that can record a scene for a little while. I bought it last time I went to Sky City."
She placed the mirror on the back of the sofa. "Now, my dear dragon slayer, do you want to kiss me?"
This dragon queen seemed determined to record his embarrassing moments to tease him with later. The last bit of reason in Leon wanted to speak up and refuse.
But the power of the Blood Enchantment was too strong. Even the original Rossweise could not resist it, let alone him.
The thought of "getting closer to Rossweise" was like a poisonous thorn stuck deep in Leon's mind, constantly pushing him. So, even though his mind resisted a thousand times, the words that came out were:
"I want to kiss you… I really want to kiss you, Rossweise…"
"Just saying it is not enough. You have to ask nicely. You have to coax me. You have to make me happy. Then I will allow you to kiss me."
"Please… Rossweise, I beg you…"
Rossweise hooked her arm around his neck and leaned in close. Their silver and black eyes locked. They could see their own reflections in each other's pupils.
"So, this is how you beg a girl? Hmph, well, after living for twenty two years and only knowing how to fight, I suppose it is hard for you to try and make me happy."
Rossweise breathed softly on Leon's face. The delicate fragrance from her breath swept over him, stirring his restless heart. Leon unconsciously tightened his hold on Rossweise's waist and tried to kiss her again. But Rossweise tilted her head slightly, offering her slender, fair, swan like neck.
Since he could not reach her lips, Leon settled for her neck. But at this point, just being able to touch her was enough to satisfy him.
Leon kissed Rossweise's neck as if he had found a precious treasure. His lips could even feel the pulse beating beneath her skin. Rossweise lifted the hair away from her chest, giving Leon more room to move.
She laughed without holding back. "Look at you now, Leon. How dishevelled you are."
"To kiss a dragon queen, you have thrown all your principles out the window. Can you still live up to the pride and dignity of being a dragon slayer?"
Leon's movements paused. This was his last bit of sanity, briefly taking back control of his body. But it was only for a moment.
He grabbed Rossweise's wrist, brought her index finger to his mouth, and then opened his lips to bite down. The bite was not hard. He just desperately wanted some "physical contact" with Rossweise.
Rossweise let out a soft hiss, and her brow furrowed slightly. She chuckled lightly, turned off the recording magic, and picked up the glass of red wine that was still unfinished. She threw her head back and drank it all in one go.
After drinking, Rossweise let out a satisfied sigh. She pulled her fingers from Leon's mouth and wrapped her arms around his shoulders again.
"Come on, Leon, my little puppy. Let me see the true face of your corruption."
The purple ethereal light grew even more enchanting. Leon was completely lost in the beautiful trap Rossweise had set for him.
He fell deeper and deeper. In a daze, his memories seemed to return to two years ago. To that dark and damp dungeon where he met Rossweise for the first time. It was like a fallen prisoner seeking forgiveness from a saint.
Perhaps, from the very moment their eyes first met, the gears of fate had already begun to turn. Everything was already meant to be.
