Chapter 50: ~ Journey to the Crystal Ice Castle
Belinda and Luca return to the Orion region, meeting at Orion’s castle there.
“Congratulations on your marriage. I never thought my territory would be the place you’d go for your honeymoon,” Orion teased with a slight smirk.
“We want to go to the Crystal Ice Castle. Since it's late, we stopped by here to ask for a room for the night,” Luca replied without hesitation.
“Ah, so you want to have a passionate night here in my territory while I’m still unmarried?” Orion complained. “Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
Luca laughed, and Belinda could only smile at Orion’s playful humor.
“We just need one night to rest before continuing our journey,” Luca said gently, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Orion nodded, though his expression remained neutral. “Alright, alright. I’ll prepare a room for the two of you. But remember, don’t disturb my peaceful night!”
Luca and Belinda glanced at each other and laughed. “We promise not to disturb you,” Luca replied, adding, “We only want to rest and enjoy a little time together.”
Orion then led them to their room—a beautifully decorated chamber with star motifs and a stunning view outside the castle. “Have a good rest, and may tonight bring you beautiful memories,” he said, sincerely but with a hint of humor.
After Orion left, Belinda and Luca entered the room, feeling happy. “I can’t wait to see the Crystal Ice Castle tomorrow,” said Belinda, while Luca arranged their things.
“Hopefully, everything will go well,” Luca replied, gazing out the window, imagining the beauty of the ice castle awaiting them. With renewed hope and spirit, they prepared for their first night in the Orion region.
“Yes. Honestly, there’s still so much I don’t understand, and a lot about the Bloodmoon Goddess and the Crystal Ice Castle that confuses me. But I believe this is only the beginning,” said Belinda.
“Yes, you’re right.” Luca approached Belinda and gently touched her face. Slowly, he brought his face closer to hers, giving her a passionate kiss. Belinda didn’t resist and closed her eyes.
Their kiss was tender yet filled with desire, as if time itself had paused. Belinda felt her heartbeat quicken, each pulse filling her with a new warmth. In that moment, all doubts and anxieties seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them in a world of warmth and love.
When Luca finally pulled back, he gazed deeply into Belinda’s eyes. “I’ve never felt like this before. It’s as if the world belongs to just the two of us,” he whispered softly.
Belinda smiled gently, taking Luca’s hand. “I feel the same. Every moment with you is so precious.”
Luca leaned his forehead against hers, feeling the warmth between them. “I want to make tonight a memory we’ll never forget.”
Belinda nodded eagerly, imagining the night they would spend together. They laughed, embracing each other, savoring the comfort of being close. In their togetherness, they knew the next steps of their journey would become an unforgettable part of their love story.
In the quiet of the night, only the gentle sound of the wind could be heard, and they both smiled, ready to explore the depth of the love they had just discovered.
Luca lifted Belinda into his arms and carried her to the bed, gently laying her down as he hovered over her.
“With you, I always want to touch you, and I never want to stop.”
Luca lowered his head, kissing Belinda’s neck and chest, leaving soft red marks and making her sigh deeply.
Belinda felt every touch of Luca’s warmth flow through her body, each kiss along her neck and chest awakening her with happiness, as if all worries and doubts had melted away.
“Luca...” Belinda’s voice trailed off in a soft moan. She reached for Luca’s hair, gripping it as if wanting to draw him closer.
“There’s nothing we need to worry about,” Luca whispered, pausing to gaze into Belinda’s eyes. “We’re here, together. Just the two of us.”
Their gazes locked, creating a deep bond as if the world outside ceased to exist. Belinda nodded, feeling calm despite her pounding heart.
Luca resumed his kisses, now softer but filled with passion, as if trying to convey all his feelings. Each gentle kiss on her skin made Belinda feel wanted in a way she had never experienced before. Both became absorbed in each other’s presence, in a connection that warmed every corner of their hearts.
Belinda tried to contain herself, but the atmosphere Luca had created made it difficult to resist the growing desire within her. “I want to be with you,” Belinda said, her voice trembling in the intimate atmosphere, affirming what she felt.
“And I want you to feel this love,” Luca replied, as if each word was a promise to cherish and protect Belinda. The night deepened, and they were swept away in a rhythm of emotions that drew them into warmth and love.
