Chapter 625 - A bath
As soon as he entered his dimension, Erik found himself in the circular entrance room, looking around curiously. "Elora? You wanted to show me something?" he asked curiously through their bond.
"Hehe, I did," she giggled mischievously. "Come to the living room… I'm sure you've already noticed the new door that showed up there recently."
An excited grin spread on Erik's lips. "Oh? Is it finally time to show me what new function I earned upon reaching the third rank? I've waited patiently because you wanted to be the first to enjoy it with me, so it better be good!"
"Well, I've been busy!" she pouted indignantly. "Are you really complaining because your amazing wife is helping with the preparations for you to marry several other women?!"
Erik's grin widened as he started walking to the living room. "Are you really complaining that I still want to spend as much time as possible with you, despite having several wives?"
Elora giggled like the ringing of a clear bell. "Hehehe, come now, my love. We both know nothing could keep you away from me!"
Erik sighed and shook his head with a fond smile. "Of course not, little Ember…"
Finally, he reached the new door and opened it. "Let's see what you have in store for me…" he muttered to himself.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he was hit in the face with a pleasant, relaxing odor, as well as the slow sloshing of water. Warm, humid air softly swirled around him, as if softly hugging him.
He looked around and was pleasantly surprised. The room was made from smooth black stone and entirely open, with only a few ornate pillars holding up the roof. Along the walls were several benches as well as some narrow beds that made Erik wonder about their purpose.
But it all paled in comparison to the large room's main attraction: a pool-sized, Roman-style bath. Steam swirled up from the warm water, carrying the pleasant smell along as it spread throughout the room.
"Damn…" Erik muttered in surprise as his gaze panned around the room. "If I eventually choose not to go along with Audumla's plans, I'll have to find another way to thank her properly…"
"Hehe, perhaps we can help her out a little if you really wish, my love," Elora's voice echoed from a little further into the room. "But I see no problem with simply taking her gifts and running."
"I guess time will tell," Erik chuckled as he focused on the spot where her voice came from. What he saw was an incredible sight that made him sigh with contentment.
"You look beautiful, Elora," he smiled and walked towards her. His beautiful first wife was barely dressed in a see-through, minimal dress that flowed around her body. It did nothing to hide the string bikini she wore underneath, which did a great job of accentuating her large, perky breasts, narrow waist, and wide hips.
He immediately approached her, while Elora used her wings to fly up a little, compensating for their height difference.
Unable to wait any longer, Erik took her in his arms for a steamy kiss. With his hands on her waist, he pressed her into his body, and she gladly melted into his touch. They breathed heavily as they unleashed their passion onto the other's mouth, tongue, and lips.
It took several minutes before they separated their lips, if not their bodies. "Every time I see you like this, you force me to wonder if you're missing a few ribs," Erik chuckled, lust burning in his eyes, as his hands wandered around the soft skin of her impossibly narrow waist.
"Hehe," Elora giggled playfully. "I'm glad my body excites you, my love. I want nothing more than for it to please you."
"Oh?" Erik smirked with a raised eyebrow. "What's got you so eager to please?"
Grinning, she shrugged. "The empire is coming along, and we've just enslaved a powerful leader from another faction. You know my dream's always been to be a powerful empress, supporting her husband and emperor as he rises to the top. Is it really so surprising I'm feeling a little submissive to my powerful man with every step closer to that dream?"
Her beautiful lips scrunched up into a cute pout that enflamed Erik's loins. "Don't tell me you disapprove, my love…? Please tell me how to serve you better!" she purred hoarsely, but with a mischievous twinkle in her emerald eyes.
Hearing the wilful Elora say such a thing instantly caused Erik's desires to grow almost out of control. He barely managed to keep himself coherent.
"You know I just want you to be the firebrand, uncontrollably fairy, I fell in love with, Elora," he muttered softly as his hand caressed her cheek and his eyes looked deep into hers, filled with love.
But Elora, losing her pout, giggled playfully and let one hand drift down to his waist, where she gripped the rock-hard manhood that his pants failed to contain. "Really…? Well, your little friend here is betraying your excitement, my Emperor. What am I to do with you…?"
Erik grinned excitedly. "I can think of some things…"
"I'm sure you can," Elora giggled, but then suddenly shrank herself down to her smaller form and slipped out of his hands. "But I'll let our two cute servants deal with it for now."
She enlarged herself again next to him, where she leaned against his side with a small smile and handed him the ends of two leashes. "I wanted to enjoy a moment alone with you after all we went through lately, before you marry another wife, and also as a reward for all your hard work."
"I still have an appetizer prepared before we get to the main course," she continued enticingly, her smile turning into a grin, "but I'm afraid it might be uncomfortable while your massive cock is this hard! You should let them deal with it first."
Smirking, Erik followed the leashes with his eyes and ended on a mesmerizing sight. It still paled in comparison to when he saw Elora herself, but there were two of them this time.
Nora and Anne were dressed in a far more enticing version of their standard servant outfit. It was see-through, loose, and covered far less. Several pieces of jewelry that crossed the line between ornamentation and restraints hung from their wrists, waist, neck, and breasts.
Their heads were bowed in deference, but their eyes were focused on the object of their desire, his cock. The leashes in Erik's hand led to the thin collars around their necks, and Erik grinned widely.
As he'd done many times before, he wondered what heroic deeds he'd performed in his previous life that caused him to end up with Elora in this one.
