Chapter 175 - A Dangerous Game

A loud scream has me jerking awake with a racing heart. I quickly sit up and look around the unfamiliar dark room with confusion. That's right... I'm in the Under Realm. Did I really just fall asleep without a care?? I slowly calm my racing heart as my mind slowly pieces things together. 

Did I really hear a scream? I listen closely but I still don't hear anything... I pull the blanket off and walk over to the large windows that open up to the equally large garden. Snow covers everything in a thick white blanket but the beauty is lost on me as I look up to see a dark clear sky, littered with millions of stars.

My mind wanders back to Bai Lei and the others as I strengthen my resolve. Bai Lei isn't strong enough to fight Jiang. If he were to try and come here... my heart trembles at the thought. I need to hurry. I turn and look to the large double doors, leading out into the palace.

I quickly clean up and walk over to find a simple red dress. I shrug and get dressed before walking out of the double doors. Two large guards quickly block my path as they say "No one enters, no one leaves. The Kings orders my Queen." I want to throat punch the man but I quickly control my anger as I say "I want to see the King."

The guards shake their heads before saying "Please return my Queen." My anger spikes and with it comes the dark energy. I crack my neck and say "Last chance. Move or I will move you. Permanently." The two guards look at each other before saying "We will use force if you don't return."  

An evil smile creeps across my face as I say "Oh? I do like it when others play rough. Do you want to play with this Queen?" My look becomes seductive as I walk closer to the two. My smile blossoms into a fully evil smile when I see the two visibly shaken.

Their dark eyes take on a transfixed look as I stop in front of them. They almost look like their in a trance... heh. I reach out and place my hands on their chest, slowly trailing my hands down. I use my nails to cut them, earning a moan from each one of them.

"As much as I like to play, you two aren't worth my time," I say bearly above a whisper before sucking them both dry in just a few seconds. They drop to the ground by my feet with a look of ecstasy on their shriveled up faces. 

I look at them with a smirk as I muse in my head. I was so much stronger! I had never been able to suck them dry that quickly... I need more power though if I'm going to take on Jiang. I step over the bodies and begin wandering down the long dark hall.

Which way is the King's room... After a moment, I lift my right hand and release a dark flame saying "Lead the way." The dark flame jumps to life and slowly drifts down the hall with me trailing behind it at a lazy pace.

I was in no hurry so as I follow the dark flame, I look around and do my best to map out the palace in my head for later. After a few more turns, I come around the corner to see Jiang stepping out of a room with a frown.

His dark eyes land on me before looking to the dark flame by his head. He lifts his hand, instantly dissolving the dark flame as he asks "What are you doing here Nova? Where are the guards?" I give him a dark charming smile as I step forward saying "I woke up hungry but the two wouldn't move so I had a little snack. Are you mad?" 

I tilt my head to the side and watch him closely but he only smiles as he says "I will tell them that you're able to come to me from now on but you can't keep eating my men." My smile grows as I say "As long as they don't upset me, I'll have no reason to with you around."

He looks slightly surprised before breaking out into a large smile. He walks over to me and says "You're very honest and straight forward. I thought you would fight me a little more." I shrug my shoulders as I say "Why would I when you taste so good? I can't get this from anyone other than you." 

I lace my lies with truths and hope with all my heart he doesn't see through my act. He nods his head in approval as he says "What you say is true... I'll be honest with you then." He steps up closer to me before everything around us changes.

I suddenly hear moaning and other indecent noises around me, surprising me as I turn to look around us. I instantly freeze when I see numerous bodies around us, all over the floor and on the few pieces of furniture in the large room.

I turn to make sure my back is to Jiang as my face turns red, white and then back to red. They were all withering together in the middle of sexual acts of all kinds! Everywhere my eyes look, I land on a naked body as nothing but sensual music and moans can be heard! I'll need to wash my eyes out with holy water by the end of this! 

I want to cover my poor eyes and run from the room but I quickly lock down my emotions and do my best to keep a blank face as Jiang walks up to my back. He lowers his head and stops next to my ear saying "So tell me, my Queen, what do you think? The dark energy you enjoy so much is thick in the air. Can you feel it?" His lips lightly brush against my ear.

I shiver at the feeling and struggle to keep control. Yes, I can feel it and it scares me how much I want it. A dark desire I've never experienced in my entire life coils around me, caressing my skin and stroking my inner core.   

Jiang's hand slowly wraps around my waist and pulls me close. I feel my back touch his solid chest as he drags his lips down the side of my neck saying "It's a gift, just for you. Take it all." I shudder and close my eyes, fighting for control. 

When I try to take a deep breath, I'm hit with the thick dark energy in the room, instantly causing me to lose the last bit of control I was so desperately holding onto. "That's it... just relax and own the power inside of you," Jiang says in a low seductive whisper.

I slowly close my eyes and inhale the dark sexual energy in the room, enjoying the addictive energy. I pull the power to me in waves as the bodies in the room continue moving to the sensual music. I can feel myself changing but the part of me that cared was no longer in the driver's seat.
