Chapter 994 Love "Do you love her?" Emery couldn't help but feel startled as the question was sprung to him far too suddenly. However, deep down, he knows. There was no way to move forward with the girl before him other than staying honest. Try as he might, though, he could not come up with a satisfactory answer to this question. Does he love her? Silva Ouroboros. She considered the girl a very good friend, and he cared about her so much, but was that enough for their relationship to be considered love? He couldn't help but think of the last time they were together and the way they had to say goodbye. What happened at that moment still echoed in his mind sometimes. For a moment, Emery's thoughts started to wander, but that few seconds was enough for Klea to become emotional once more. Her face twisted in anger, but Emery could see the glimmer of tears hidden behind her enraged expression. She was ready to blurt out her own answer, but Emery grabbed both of her shoulders and said. "I dont know, I really dont… that's the only answer I can give to you right now." Of course, that answer was far from satisfying for her. Klea reached up to her shoulders to force him to let her go, but Emery held on tight, as if his very life depended on it. He wasn't finished. He looked at her in the eyes and said with resolution evident in his gaze and tone. "If you ask me about my feelings for her, I don't know. But, I definitely know how I feel about you…." Emery grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, letting her feel the chaotic, rapid heartbeat. "My heart beats for you… Klea, I love you… you are the one I choose, and you are the one I am with now, not her." His words stunned her for a moment, but then her tears fell free, creating glimmering trails all over her beautiful face. However, instead of breaking away, she hugged him close and tight, as if he would scatter away in the wind at any moment if she let him go. Emery placed his arm around her and stroked her hair, hoping she would calm down. Then, she spoke, but without looking at him. "I love you too Emery…. I do… but Emery… if you really love me… I want you to promise one thing for me." Klea sobbed for a few more moments, then she looked up at him again. From this close, her eyes looked beautiful. "Promise me, promise that you will never choose her over me. I want you to say it, promise me!" Emery was stunned for a moment. He was ready to say yes, but he would not want his promise to be nothing but hollow words. He looked back at those days, remembering when he was able to reject Silva's love for him before, and he was sure that he could do it again. He took a deep breath and firmly said. "Yes, I promise you.. I will not ever choose her over you." She sighed in relief, and then, she slowly smiled. Her smile was radiant much like the sun, while her eyes, filled with happiness, stared at him in pure desire. Then, they kissed, a kiss more passionate than ever before, done with such vigor to prove their love to each other. In their previous moments together, they had never been able to honestly tell each other their feelings, as fate itself kept on trying to separate them, but now they were able to touch each other in both heart and soul. Sparks of feelings lit up deep within as they finally broke the kiss. As she tried to catch her breath, Klea said, "You are mean Emery, for doing this to me." "Yes, I am really sorry for hurting you." "No... no… that's not what I mean" "What do you mean?" For a second, Klea was silent, but then a beautiful red started to heat up her cheeks. She spoke, almost reluctantly, "First, it was the princess, then two others. That was three, and as for me… I have been saving myself for you." Hearing the declaration once again made Emery's heart beat faster. There was no question of what to do next. Emery took a deep breath, caressed her neck for a moment, and then carried her up with his strong arms. Emery carried her slowly, wanting to savor this beautiful moment, before laying her on the bed. His touches were soft yet full of passion. "Are you sure you wanted to do this?" Emery asked Klea did not answer; she merely slightly nodded in response. However, she was resolute. There was no doubt that she had wished for this for so long. *** WARNING: The next part contains an explicit sex scene. Please read at your own discretion. Then, without hesitation, Emery took off his half-torn clothes, and threw them haphazardly somewhere in the room. As the clothes landed forgotten at the corner, he then gently helped her remove hers, revealing her smooth skin and beautiful body to her eyes. Their faces were close, so close, and their bodies touched each other, transferring warmth between them. Their hands were intertwined with each other, each touch lighting the sparks of heat and need. She blushed once again, but Emery, on the other hand, was practically biting his lip. There was no doubt that he could no longer able to hold back his desires. Wanting to make everything memorable, Emery then started slow, peppering her neck with gentle kisses and moving down slowly to her chest. His hands fiddled and stimulated her sensitive peaks, each pinch and fondle did elicit a sensual moan from the woman beneath him. Then, Klea's voice started to fill the room with her pleasure. "Dont.. stop…" Her voice was like a siren song for him. If he weren't careful, perhaps, she would plunge him deeply, to never be found again. Emery projected an outwardly confident gaze, but he was secretly a little embarrassed that he has so little experience in pleasing a woman, thus he was unable to truly give her the best treatment she deserved. Emery kept caressing and kissing her, then he finally helped her gently spread her legs, and positioned himself in between her. His eyes bore onto hers with such intensity. He gave her a passionate kiss first, before thrusting his shaft into her. "Aaahhhh… Emery" With one swift motion, Emery was now fully inside of her. Every moment felt wonderful as Klea and Emery were finally able to share their love in an act of physical intimacy. They were as they could possibly be. Emery moved faster and faster, coaxing out louder and more needier moans from her. Sometimes, he would slow down, letting her catch her breath and enhance the pleasure she felt. A few hours passed in total ecstasy, and they finally achieved their release together. They took a little while to rest a bit, but when Emery was about to stand, Klea held him tight, her delicate fingers gripping his wrist. "No… not yet… just stay in this room.." "O.. of course." The two slept together on the bed, enjoying their rest after the intense few hours. However, not even an hour passed, and Klea's hands moved under the sheets to stimulate Emery down below. Her naughty lithe fingers wrapped around his shaft and massaged it. "Klea… you…" "One more… just one more time.." Emery was ready to assist his beautiful girlfriend, and this time, they kept going for half a day at least. They finished together again and took their rest, but after an hour, the queen smiled coyly at Emery, her eyes radiating the pressure of a ruler. "You know… what you did to me was quite painful, maybe you could… you know, do it one more time to ease the pain?" Thanks to the queen's insatiable appetite, Emery didn't get out of the room for the whole 5 days of the trip; they didn't manage to get even a wink of rest, either. Fortunately, their arrival was announced, and now Klea must let Emery go. The two got out of the room with happy smiles, like they were just married. Their friends have all been waiting for them with funny expressions. "You two really had us... glad you can work it out." Said Julian while the other two only gave wide teasing smiles added with Chumo's special remarks of two thumbs up. All the acolytes walked off from the ship in the same Magus Alliance docks, and headed to the teleportation gate to the Magus Academy. "Yey! We have finally returned!" Not long after they arrived at the place, however, they could hear footsteps, and they turned around to see a group of people in formal uniforms. They came at the same time and said. "Emery Ambrose, you were called to see the Headmaster."
