Ileus: The Dark Prince

Chapter 176 - Offering?



Ileus was camping at one place only for a maximum of two days. Anastasia and the group were extremely tired. It was on the second day when they had dinner and she was lying on the mattress of her tent, she asked him, "Even if that was a fae spy, you do know that it is going to take them at least a week to go back and then return with full force." Gods, she was waiting to face Maple again if she chose to come. However, she wondered if Aed Ruad would also come with her. There was a strange connection between the siblings. It was as if the only one person who Aed Ruad really cared about was his twin sister. 

Ileus changed into his light pajamas. Thankfully Haldir had sent some comfortable clothes for both of them to wear. At this moment wearing pajamas also felt like luxury. He picked up one of his magazines and came to lie next to his wife. "Till a few days back, Aed Ruad only suspected that we were in Yelgra. Kaizan and Darla felt his spies around us a number of times, but because of the invisibility shield, they were always protected and the spies never detected them. But the spies detected us when you had left the camp that day." 

"How is this possible, Ileus?" she said, sitting up beside him. "It's not like they were present there and ambushed us! That would be a huge coincidence." 

Ileus cradled his head on his arm and frowned at her pondering at what she said. "I don't know… It could be a coincidence…"

"That day when I had come back and we were having breakfast in the morning, Darla walked away and Aidan followed her," she pointed. "It is possible that someone saw them." 

Ileus jerked his head back. "But we left the place immediately after. I highly doubt that they could follow us." 

Frustrated, Anastasia looked up at the ceiling of the tent. "Argh!" she cried. 

"I don't know how they traced us princess, but now Aed Ruad knows for sure that we are in Yelgra. Maple would send all the rogues here to keep a watch on us or to harm us. After the incident with vampires, I am pretty sure that there is more to come," said Ileus. "And according to my calculations if Maple travels via the right portals, which I am sure Aed Ruad would ensure, she will reach here in four days." 

Anastasia's mouth became dry and her heartbeat accelerated. 'Come Maple, I am so ready for you.' She clenched her fists tightly. 

He saw her expression and took her hands in hers. Opening the fingers of her closed fists gently, he said, "I won't let anyone harm you, sweetheart." 

She gazed into his warm honey eyes and said, "And I am going to protect you from them." 

His lips tugged up. "Thank you sweetheart" he said and tugged at her again. When she was leaning on his chest, he laced a chaste kiss on her lips and said, "My feral cat, come and sleep. See, I got one of your favorite books." He picked up the book and gave it to her. 

Anastasia gasped. The cover of the book was… lewdest she had ever seen. It had a woman in red lingerie that hardly left anything to imagination. It was made from lacy material and she could see her tits from beneath. Her gaze lowered to her navel and below and her mouth fell to the floor. Her crotch was uncovered and the folds showed. "Oh my god!" 

He tugged her down and she was now lying beside him. This time they had separate tents and that was also thanks to Haldir. He had sent enough rolls for them. 

Her head on his arms, she was seeing the images of the book with a gape, as Ileus flipped the pages. The positions were astonishing. "Would you like to try them?" he asked in a soft whisper. One of them was doggy style.

She heated like the bonfire that was burning on the outside and nodded. "But we won't do it more than once," she said firmly. Every time they had sex, the man's voracious diet would amaze her. It was like never-ending. Not that she complained because she also enjoyed it. 

"Ah ok," he replied. 

As soon as the first round was over, which incidentally was craziest she had had, he spooned her and wrapped his arm around her. "Sweetheart, that was good, right?" 

She had to agree, "Yes." But she knew his erection was growing against her belly. She didn't encourage him, but she knew that he was growing edgy. She giggled and that was enough for him to fill her from the back. 

"I can't get enough of you," he said as he sucked and nibbled and licked her neck and back, leaving a trail of love-bites. 

Eventually they slept after three more rounds when they both were exhausted completely. 

A sound as if thousands of butterflies fluttered their wings at once came and Anastasia fluttered open her eyes. Was she dreaming? She looked on the outside and saw that the night had receded. First light of dawn broke through the mountains and spread its glow over the forest. In the light breeze, the flap of the tent fluttered. Ileus was sleeping like a log with his arm still on her waist. It was too early and so she closed her eyes again, but the sound came again and this time it was accompanied with a very soft murmur. This time she woke up with a start. Not wanting to wake up Ileus on her suspicions, she removed his arm from her waist and got to her feet.

Pulling her nightgown from nearby, she wore it as she walked towards the exit. As soon as she lifted the flap, the flutter and murmur immediately stopped. She peeped outside and glanced around to see if there was someone, but it was very quiet. Everyone was sleeping. The leaves of the trees were swaying gently in the breeze and the aroma of the wildflowers wafted in the air. Thinking that it was perhaps her imagination, she was about to lower the flap and come in, when her eyes fell on the ground on the corner of the tent. There were marks of tiny feet and right in front of it were flower petals mixed with pearls and tiny berries. 

She blinked her eyes rapidly to ascertain what she saw was actually there or not. Once again her gaze wandered, not settling on anything in particular. When she saw the marks of tiny feet again, she rubbed her eyes to reaffirm. Which species could have such tiny feet? Yardraks were the shortest, but who could be this small? With a shaky breath, she sat down and then crawled towards the marks and a mixture of petals and fruits and pearls, carefully. It looked like an offering, like someone was praying to a deity. Anastasia gulped and then picked up a berry to taste. It was… delicious. She ate all of them instantly. 

"Anastasia!" Ileus' panicked voice came from inside. "Where are you?" 

She stumbled.
