To be more precise, he never had the luxury to think about something like that.

His entire childhood was stolen from him and he was forced to train his body for every second and every minute of the day.

The ninth gate... Luther slightly clenched his fists as a cold look appeared in his eyes.

Su Lin quickly realized that she had asked the wrong question and was about to say something else when a familiar raspy voice interrupted their intimate atmosphere.

"So... This is where you have run off to?"

Su Lin didn't even have to glance at that arrogant face to realize who was talking.

"You are still stalking me?" Su Lin pursed her lips in annoyance, while Luther had a cold glint in his eyes. This pest has been bothering them for way too long!

s.h.i.+ Meng unceremoniously leaned on the railing. It didn't look like he was leaving them anytime soon.

He even shrugged his shoulders and declared. "Don't look at me. This is a public place."

Su Lin stayed silent for a minute, and then abruptly stood up from her dinner date.

She didn't want to linger there anymore. The mood was already ruined and the sky seemed to be darkening as well.

Iceland typically had extremely short day times and a long endless night. So they might as well return back to the hotel room.

Luther also didn't engage with the unwelcome guest and quietly left behind Su Lin.

Su Lin was not someone who would take this sort of a taunt lying down. So he was curious as to why this pest was still loitering around them.

The joy of this unexpected encounter slowly faded from s.h.i.+ Meng's face. Watching both of them leave, he couldn't help but feel a bit agitated.

But, he could only silently watch their disappearing figures...

Were they staying together in the same hotel room? A weird question popped up in his mind out of nowhere.

He shook his head and answered his phone that was almost screaming at him now.

...

Back in the hotel room, Su Lin walked out and leaned on the patio grills, as she absent-mindedly gazed at the vivid colors painting the night sky.

The chubby fur ball little white peacefully settled in a corner nibbling on the food that Su Lin had brought back for it.

And Luther silently stood next to Su Lin, looking at her, rather than the enchanting boundless sky.

As if understanding his unspoken question Su Lin mumbled, "That guy, s.h.i.+ Meng's late grandfather is a really good person. He single-handedly left enough good karma for both the mother and son pair to exploit."

She chuckled and explained. But, even she had a bottom line...

And this fellow was already on strike ten or more like twenty. It would be in his best interest to stop taunting her, but it definitely didn't look like he was taking the hint.

One of these days, she just might have to do something for this pest to actually leave her alone. And she had a nagging feeling that it might be coming soon.

Su Lin sighed and leaned slightly on Luther.

Though the evening did not proceed as he planned it, Luther was still satisfied with the special time he spent with the wifey.

To remove the bad after taste left by that pest, Luther quickly changed the topic.

"To answer your earlier question, I think I might want to try my talent in cooking." His impeccable face revealed a gentle smile as he tilted his head and spoke.

"Mmmm... Your rice porridge is indeed the best in the world." Su Lin mumbled with her head still resting on his shoulder.

"What a cute little wifey you are... Just satisfied with a simple rice porridge?" Luther couldn't help but laugh at her silliness and quickly planted a gentle peck in her soft inviting cheeks.

After chatting for a while, the husband and wife pair soon called it a night and went to bed.

Su Lin took a shower first and then proceeded with her daily routine.

Luther was already content with the pleasant romantic evening they had shared, but couldn't help wanting more. d.a.m.n it... He wanted more!

He watched the elegant woman casually applying that pleasant-smelling oil she typically used.

She then patiently combed her long l.u.s.trous silky hair and applied some sort of white paste on her smooth skin.

All the while, Luther was tossing and turning in the bed hesitating if he should implement phase three or not.

Still deep in his thoughts, he showered and stepped outside with just a towel around his hip and his body half-naked.

He stood behind Su Lin near the nightstand and ruffled his hair, absent-mindedly watching her apply something.

His bare muscular body glistened with s.h.i.+mmering drops of water in the soothing night light. His otherwise flawless skin proudly portrayed his numerous scars like priced trophies.

Every time Su Lin gazed at them, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She couldn't help but run her soft fingers on those dreadful memories. Luther, however, was on a different wavelength.

His lips curved upward as he saw a faint trace on sadness on the woman's face and leaned closer to plant a kiss on her forehead.

Looking at the mischievous smirk on his face, Su Lin quickly turned over with her back facing towards that magnetic human. Her heart was jumping around crazily.

Her embarra.s.sed expression and shy ears turned him on further and he finally couldn't restrain himself any longer.

With one swift motion, Luther picked up the stunning woman and gently placed her on the bed.

He knew that the woman had already been married, but he didn't care about that and still treated her ever so gently like it was her first time.

He first gently kissed her delicious lips and her soft cheeks, waiting patiently to see if she showed any signs of discomfort.

He slowly felt his entire body heat up with a yearning that he had never experienced before.

He pulled the fidgeting mesmerzing woman closer to him, and his soft petal-like kisses slowly turned into greedy volcanic eruptions.

Su Lin as well gave in to him and responded to his carnivorous attacks. Her response only triggered him further and he hurriedly ripped the flimsy nightgown she was wearing.

He greedily felt every inch of her soft body and with great restraint whispered in ears, panting, almost out of breath. "Are you sure?"

Su Lin replied to his question with a long deep kiss and the man no longer held himself back.

He ravaged her endlessly throughout the night until both of them were gasping for breath.

He didn't understand why he thought they needed to wait some more and get to know each other better. This felt like a natural extension of his existence.

It felt as if he had already been with her countless times... as if they had already conquered each other for infinite nights.

It was 3 am when the duo finally let go of each other, forced to stop their dance because of the wet and sticky bedsheets.

Luther helped her clean up a bit and dropped the blus.h.i.+ng woman gently in the shower.

But, the warm water and the enticing curves on her flawless naked body drove him insane.

He embraced the woman from behind and plundered her again under the steaming hot shower.

Surprising herself, Su Lin also fed the hot burning l.u.s.t she felt for that man.

Small beads of tears surfaced in her glistening eyes as she slowly felt her centuries of loneliness crumble away and disappear.

Amidst their intense warfare, her gentle voice murmured in solitude, "Please don't ever betray me."

Luther immediately stopped and gazed deeply into her eyes. His sharp piercing eyes showed his seriousness as he held her soft supple face in his hands.

"I would rather die first." He whispered and gave her the a.s.surance that she had asked for.

The woman revealed a bashful content smile and buried her head into his chest.

"So even the almighty alchemist has an insecure side?" He chuckled and sucked on her cherry red ears.

Su Lin immediately lifted her head up to retort in anger, but the man took the opportunity to attack her once again.

Even the hot water eventually ran out but the duo continued attacking each other pa.s.sionately. Ravenous moans melodiously danced in the silence of the night.

After a while, it was already morning, and finally, the morning room service knock interrupted the two.

"Jerk. I didn't get a wink of sleep." Su Lin pushed Luther away and s.h.i.+fted all the blame on that devilishly handsome man. 

"Mmmm... It was high time you did your wifely duties, my dear."

Luther ignored the knock and pulled back the woman. He again pushed her against the wall and continued nibbling on her lips.
