Chapter 67 - Third Gate: Chasm Of Tenebris (Part 6)

Elliot got off the shower feeling refreshed. He grabbed the sleeping robe from one of the shelves inside the large bathroom and wore it. He usually paired it with pajama pants but he didn't find any. He wore it that way ever since Rania stayed in the Forbidden Chamber. Now, he scratched his head, feeling a bit uncomfortable of having his lower legs exposed, plus the fact that he was only wearing a boxer undergarment beneath the robes. 

Elliot went out of the bathroom after drying his hair and surveyed the remaining rooms inside the suite. He thought that maybe he could use the other spare bedrooms, if there was, so Rania can have the master bedroom. After walking around, he managed to find three of them but unfortunately, all of them were locked. And so, he went back to the living room to check back on Rania.

"Uhm? What a sweet smell," Elliot thought as he noticed a faint but sweet fragrance that filled the air. 

"Hah … hah … hah …," she breathed heavily as her body trembled in fear.

"Rania?" Elliot noticed her right away and walked fast towards her. Bending his knees on the floor, he checked her condition. "Are you alright? What happened?"

"I'm sorry, I just had a bad dream," Rania forced a smile. 

"What dream?" Elliot's face furrowed. He knew very well that Rania's dreams were important.

"I … I saw a basilisk," Rania started. "It had dark violet scales and golden eyes. But as soon as I looked, I got paralyzed. Then … then, it lounged on me and opened its mouth. I - I thought it was going to eat me alive".

Elliot patted her back. "Everything's fine now. It's just a dream. Besides, I'll protect you in case that happens".

Rania smiled warmly. "Thank you. But next time, I want to be able to move and defend myself instead of being paralyzed in fear".

Elliot chuckled. "Then next time, don't look at its eyes. Basilisks can paralyze anyone with their gaze".

"Oh, I see! That's why I couldn't move".

"Most possibly".

"Elliot, do you think … that maybe, the basilisk is the guardian of this realm? I remember the door had purple scales too".

"I think so too. It will be great if he stopped on hiding and beating around the bush".

"Right," Rania nodded her head. "By the way, you can take the bed, I'll just sleep here -"

" - No. You take the bed," Elliot strongly disagreed.

Rania laughed. "If you insist, thank you". 

Then, she got up but stumbled afterwards. Good thing Elliot managed to catch her by the waist before falling. 

"I'm so sorry. It seems my feet are still not okay, hehe".

"It's fine. You had a bad dream after all," Elliot replied, picking her up, and carried her like a princess towards the bed. 

After laying Rania down, Elliot grabbed the blanket to cover her when suddenly …

BADUMP … BADUMP … BADUMP …

Rania felt something inside her boil. For some unknown reason, her body felt hot all over. Her consciousness began to slip away and felt that she was in a trance. 

And then, her body started moving on its own.

With her arms reaching out to Elliot, she got up, pushed him down on the bed and sat on top of him.

"Stop! What am I doing?!" Rania thought in her mind but her body didn't listen. 

Elliot was startled. He never expected Rania to lounge on him like that. He sat back up, putting his weight on his arms. 

"What's the matter? Did you see something scary? Or -" Elliot tried to think of a reason from her actions since he didn't understand it fully.

"Elliot," Rania whispered his name seductively.

Elliot's eyes widened again and his mouth gaped, unable to utter any response.

Rania slid her buttocks down unto Elliots thighs, so that her body touched Elliot's, and her hips sat on top of his groin.

"Kyaaa! No! Please stop this!" Rania screamed in her mind again as her face flushed red. Even if she couldn't control her body, she still felt everything. And being too close to Elliot was too much for her. She never even became this close to anyone before.

Elliot's face blushed as well. It was easy for him to shove off other girls who tried to touch him, but Rania was a completely different matter. It was his first time being too close to a woman - too close that he could feel Rania's soft chest on his'.

"R-Rania … I think you should sleep now," Elliot shyly asked. " P-please, get off me".

But Rania's body didn't listen. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him tightly, resting her head on his shoulders.

Elliot held her waist and pushed her away gently.

Rania kissed his neck in return.

Elliot felt his body shiver, as if electricity ran all throughout his body. He unconsciously covered the area of his neck that Rania kissed and faced her. His face spelled shock as he looked at her.

Then Rania took this chance and pushed his head towards her. 

In the blink of an eye, her lips touched Elliot's.

Unsure if it was because of the sweet scent that lingered in the room, or their bodies touching each other, or Rania's soft lips kissing him, Elliot's body began to feel hot. 

Even Rania's body started to feel warmer. She couldn't deny the sensation she felt from Elliot's lips. No matter how many times she told herself to stop, it continued to kiss Elliot with burning passion.

Rania nibbled, and sucked, and licked Elliot's lips. Stupefied by the situation, Elliot was unable to move nor respond to her kiss.

And slowly, Rania took off Elliot's sleeping robes and dropped it unto his waist, revealing his flawless skin, and slim yet perfectly knit and sinewy body. 

Rania's hands ran through his chest and down to his abdomen. She gave off a seductive moan as she caught her breath after kissing too much. 

"Elliot," she whispered again. "I feel … so hot". Her eyes begged for him.

Elliot gulped as he finally snapped out of it. "Rania … I -"

Before he could finish, Rania kissed him again.

And slowly, she began sliding her robes off of her shoulders ...

Meanwhile, the City Lord watched over them and saw everything that was happening. He was watching from a large mirror and wherever he was, it was a very dark room with nothing in it except the mirror. 

And behind him stood Ducis with his eyes fixed on the mirror.
