Ascendant Path of a Lustful Vampire

Chapter 452 452: I will take care of you **

Roxanne flexed her fingers on Caius's shoulders for a bit longer. Then she worked one hand down his front, stroking lightly across his pecs before working her way fine to his abs and then back up in a manner that intensified the shivers already coursing through Caius's body.

He leaned back against Roxanne and felt her breasts pressing against him. The hardness of her nipples was a delicious counter to the softness of the rest of her tits.

Roxanne moaned as she felt Caius's back rub up against her nipples. She moved her other hand from his shoulder and trailed lightly across his neck before letting out her tongue to take a long lick of his skin. As she licked, she flexed her jaw muscles as though she were itching to pierce his skin with her fangs.

Her hand went from his abs to his groin where his member was already imposingly erect and jutting from his body. She grabbed it with much more force than she had intended due to her excitement.

Caius groaned and his hips jerked, thrusting the organ deeper into her grip and increasing Roxanne's excitement all the more, causing her grip to tighten even more and causing more groans and hip thrusts from Caius.

Their actions continued to inform one another for a good while until Caius went deeper in the water and got his rod out of Roxanne's grip before she clamped down hard enough to stop him.

As her grip collapsed around bath water, Roxanne's heart sank in disappointment at first before her mood instantly picked up when Caius turned around and slammed his lips against hers.

"Mmph!" Roxanne moaned into the kiss before she then tried to speak through the lips-on-lips action and the rising rush of pleasure hitting her so hard that she was becoming breathless,

"Haha. This was supposed to come later."

Caius knew she was referring to the earlier consideration of reciprocity—'I do you and you do me'—that she had stated, but he just chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her.

Both of his hands started on her back before one trailed up to her neck, touching and acting mesmerized by the smoothness and deliciousness of her skin as they swapped saliva and occasionally clashed fangs.

Caius had shifted. In his bid to get used to being in his vampiric skin, he opted to have his fangs out but kept the claws sheathed to avoid reckless slashes and pain in what should be a pleasurable moment.

His other hand went down past Roxanne's waist to her ass which he copped a feel of, grabbing a handful of her plump ass flesh and squeezing with an intense delight that caused his cock to rage even harder, pressing even more insistently against Roxanne's midsection as they pressed against each other's bodies with great delight.

But then, Roxanne's eyelids which had closed as she let herself get lost in the pleasure of the moment, flew open and she looked around. She couldn't help the frown on her lips and Caius felt that even before he felt her unease, causing him to pull away.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing, My Lord," Roxanne said and tried to push whatever was bothering her aside so she could get back to having Caius's tongue shoved as deep into her throat as it could go.

But as Roxanne leaned forward and tried to claim Caius's lips again, his brows furrowed and he pulled away and turned his head to look around.

"Someone's here," he said.

"Probably nothing," Roxanne said. She had already decided to ignore what her intuition and senses had picked up in a bid to rededicate herself to getting Caius's hands working her over passionately again.

"Show yourself," Caius spoke over Roxanne to the bath at large.

At the fourth Circle, Caius's senses were very capable. Especially when he was in his shifted state. However, it wasn't those senses that had caught this invisible presence but rather his command over the Coven. He was getting more in tune with it and was finding himself very capable of sensory feats that should otherwise be beyond him.

Whoever was here was cloaking themselves with stronger magic than Caius's Fourth Circle senses should be able to detect. But it was not beyond his command of the Coven.

There was a shimmer as shadow thickened in a part of the bath light wasn't touching very generously. A figure stepped out of the cloaking of the shadow, draped in a dark robe meant to improve her stealth.

"Meline," Caius said while letting out a breath.

"My Lord," Meline said with a bow, her beautiful, mature face acquiring an abashed expression.

"Meline!" Roxanne snapped with annoyance Caius hadn't shown, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Meline's cheeks became rosy but she held herself with a noble poise as if she refused to be shamed for this.

"I should be asking you that myself, Roxanne."

"Well, I asked first!" Roxanne retorted as Meline began to step closer to the bath,

"My Gods, of all the stupid things you could use your magic for, you chose spying."

"Spying is what it works best for," Meline retorted while dipping one leg into the water.

Caius had to admit she had a point on that front. In fact, after what she had achieved back at Brogan's hideout, i.e. getting past a Vampire Noble's senses to slice off his arms—even if she did have help for that particular feat—Caius had to say he was hoping to learn from her.

Really, he could stand to learn from many in the Coven who had refined their talents in Dark and other Elements of Magic. Caius was making personal progress but it seemed foolish not to at least take advantage of the multiple centuries-long wisdom he had all around him.

"And look who's judging!" Meline continued, "Does Lorton know you're here?"

"Does Klay?" Roxanne retorted with no shame.

Klay was Meline's husband when she was human. He wasn't a Leopold but she was so fond of him that after she had been turned, she got permission from Kerwin to have him turned too. Now, Klay occasionally visited the Coven but often remained away where he was in charge of one of the many 'Ophiuchus' bases all over the Acheron Empire.

As far as anyone knew, Meline and Klay were still married. Sure, Leopolds usually form new bonds once they are turned and thus discard old relationships, but no one had ever seen Meline involved with anyone else.

Meline just scoffed at Roxanne's retort. She had waded into the water now. She grabbed the sides of her robe and pulled it off but before they even touched the bath water surface, the Leopold woman was already pressing her chest against Caius's back.

Her breasts were large—larger than Roxanne's—and seemed to be the most major source of her confidence as she smirked and pulled Caius away from Roxanne gently while running her hands all over his body.

"What are you doing?" Roxanne asked with a flash of jealousy she hadn't known herself capable of but one she wasn't really interested in unpacking at the moment.

Meline ignored her and focused her attention entirely on Caius.

"My Lord, I was watching…" she started.

"Of course you were, you pervert!" Roxanne snapped.

"… and she seemed to have aggravated your injuries. I will soothe them," Meline continued like she hadn't been interrupted. Running her fingers lightly across the bruised area, a spell circle appeared and infused Caius with Dark Magic.

"Hmm, that does feel better," Caius admitted as he leaned against her body, her tits a delicious cushion.

"Darkness can have a numbing effect. Doesn't heal but can rid one of pain temporarily," Meline cooed in a loving-like tone,

"Relax, My Lord.

I will take care of you."
