Raven leaned back in his throne, reading the message while his eyes watched Juniper sneaking towards him. She climbed up the back of his throne, perching her large body over the Raven above his backrest and lying lazily, eight inquisitive eyes watching his actions.
"Master, will you put your dick into that crazy orc?"
She sounded two parts bemused to one part jealousy and worry, but Juniper calling someone else crazy was rather novel, or so Raven thought to himself.
"I don't know. In the past, maybe I would be jumping for joy right now."
"However..."
"However?"
He lifted his eyes, looking up toward the beautiful reflection of Juniper's arachne form, a bitter smile on his lips while reaching out to stroke her smooth, black exoskeleton.
"Do you want to put it in me instead?"
Juniper's question was so calm as she tilted her head, blinking with her eight eyes.
A tempting offer, but the reward he promised to her was not something so empty and lacking all romance.
'I want you to become more confident and no longer hiding in the shadows.'
"Maybe next time."
His answer was a solid refusal, yet Juniper only snorted before leaning down, her soft white body more flexible than normal women as she wrapped her human arms around Raven's shoulders, kissed his neck with a warm smack, and brushed her face against him.
"Next time?"
Raven didn't mind the skinship that Juniper liked; sometimes, after helping clean the room, she would sneak into the bed or sit her huge body beside him and gently kiss his neck and cheeks, sniffing softly as if to avoid disturbing him too much.
'It was a little weird at first, but slowly became like an addictive ASMR[1] that hooked me good.'
"Shall we go on a real date?"
He asked, stroking along her second pair of arms, which Juniper usually tried to hide because they were rather strange compared to normal limbs.
Her black exoskeleton was smooth and sleek with a hard black shell, but Raven loved how her knuckles and fingers felt on these arms. The sharp tips and her solid black joints were quite aesthetically pleasing and cute.
"That might be nice, but isn't a date just to copulate and make the women faint in pleasure for you?"
Juniper's red eyes looked at him in wonder from upside down as she leaned over his head, perching her eight legs around the raven as if it were her prey.
Others might see this scene and believe that her large body was almost in the perfect position to kill him by biting off his head, yet the man in question just stroked her black arms and soft pale cheek with an affectionate smile.
"Then shall I make you faint?"
"..."
"Later, this feels nice."
"See? Copulation isn't everything."
"But you stroking my face makes me wet; isn't that the prelude to copulation?"
"..."
Raven felt this woman's comebacks and wits were increasing with each day she spent with Lilith and the others, and while it was pleasing to find her growth each day.
When it led to his loss...
It hurt his little orc pride.
'Damn, this spider beat me.'
Because in the past, he was the one who always won their little chats, she would follow his request happily.
Juniper couldn't read his mind, and her ability to empathise was limited, so she just watched his eyes and continued to enjoy caressing his face with her lips and fingertips until she was finally finished and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I like your smell; it makes me feel so relieved and sleepy."
"Yours is quite nice too, very faint and gentle."
The couple remained still for quite sometime before the spider's body began to ascend to the ceiling, her thick webbing pulling her body up onto the thick den of webs she had constructed before anybody noticed.
"I'm going to sleep. Don't get sick from that orc."
"Have a nice sleep; wake me up in the morning, and we'll see the others, okay?"
"Mmm, I promised Lilith to go to the dungeon together."
"Good, come here."
Before she could completely leave his range, Raven pulled her body down and kissed Juniper's soft, squishy lips that tasted a little like vanilla marshmallows, as her cute ruby eyes all looked shocked. Raven then let go of Juniper, who flew up high and away from him, blushing like crazy, as Raven smiled in satisfaction.
'She still gets embarrassed about gentle signs of affection, but sex is nothing for her. A cute little arachne.'
"I'm going now; sleep well, my cute little arachne."
"...Mm..."
Her only response was a slight whimper, as in the darkness, he saw eight red dots, seeming to shimmer and shine in the shadows like gemstones as she watched him ascend the stairs to his private chambers, where Nu'bella would await him.
***
The new castle was cold and dark as Raven's feet walked along the stone, each step creating an echo that filled the silent halls.
Although there were quite a few maids and servants, he allowed them to have a lot of free time due to them rarely being here, and thus, it was almost like an abandoned keep.
As Raven approached the central and master wing, he could hear the faint jingle of what seemed to be bells, as if someone was dancing in the dark, echoing throughout the empty hallways.
His steps quickened as his curiosity grew stronger, and soon, he saw a small light at the end of the corridor where the sound came from.
The room was lit by candlelight, but it was still too dim for Raven to see, so he took out one of the candles and stepped inside.
It looked like it used to be some kind of lounge room with a few paintings on the walls; however, now it was stripped of its previous decoration and only had a few old books stacked up in the corner.
In the middle of the room was a girl with her back facing him, wearing a beautiful red dress that glimmered under the candlelight as she twirled around. At the same time, small bells and bones rattled and jingled against each other as her wide hips shook, letting her beautiful purple hair dance in the darkness, illuminated by a single candle in Raven's hand.
'So beautiful.' he thought. 'Yet so strange...and familiar?'
Raven stood there mesmerised by the girl as she danced all by herself until he finally remembered why this scene looked so eerily familiar.
"You..." he mumbled. "I've seen you before, haven't I?"
The dancing girl stopped and turned slowly as if she didn't expect anyone else to be there. Her eyes widened briefly before she regained her composure and gave Raven a sweet smile.
Her red dress was both tribal and modern mixed in a beautiful child of alluring fashion; Nu'bella's face was covered in a light layer of soft, warm-toned makeup and soft peach lipgloss as she bent her knees and began to dance once more, only this time facing him and with her large, unrestrained bosom jiggling and swaying along with her powerful hip. Movements.
She danced sensually while staring at Raven, moving closer and closer towards him as she twirled and swayed her body like a snake slithering in the night.
Her alluring gaze made him swallow his saliva, feeling the idea of rejecting her fade rapidly as her charm washed over him like a wave, causing his pants to tighten in certain areas.
Nu'bella continued to dance in front of Raven, stepping forward with her bare feet; she circled him like a viper wrapping itself around its prey and teasingly traced her fingers across his chest.
He couldn't help but feel aroused at the sight of Nu'bella dancing before him.
Suddenly, Nu'bella leaned forward and kissed Raven on his lips while grabbing his wrist tightly, preventing him from escaping.
Her tongue slipped into his mouth and tasted every inch of him, savouring his flavour like a fine wine before breaking off their embrace with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"My lord..." Nu'bella whispered seductively into Raven's ear, sending shivers down his spine as her breath tickled his skin.
"How about we continue somewhere more private?" she suggested, licking her lips hungrily.
Without waiting for Raven's reply, Nu'bella led him away from the lounge room and into the master wing, a husky giggle leaving her lips as she excitedly pulled his hand through multiple corridors until they reached his bedroom door.
Upon entering, Raven noticed that Nu'bella had already prepared everything beforehand. Candles surrounded the bedside table while incense burned nearby, filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance that heightened his senses even further than usual.
There were also rose petals scattered around the floor, giving off a romantic atmosphere, adding to Nu'bella's allure, making Raven gulp audibly when he realised she had planned this.
She took his hands, placing them on her perfect hips before pulling him close enough for Raven to smell her tantalising aroma wafting from her smooth skin.
Nu'bella then wrapped her arms around his neck and gazed deeply into his eyes, biting her lower lip playfully before she began to sway, an exciting dance that teased Raven as her breasts bounced against his chest and her ass brushed against his crotch.
With each movement, Nu'bella ground her voluptuous rear against Raven's manhood, causing him to groan softly, which only encouraged Nu'bella to increase her pace until she felt something poking her butt cheeks.
She smirked wickedly when she discovered Raven's erection pressing against her derriere, rubbing herself harder than before, earning another moan from him before suddenly stopping altogether without warning.
Raven opened his eyes in confusion, only to find Nu'bella staring intensely at him.
"Did you enjoy my dance, my dear?" She asked coyly as she cupped his chin between two slender fingers.
"Very much so," Raven replied honestly, earning a delighted laugh from Nu'bella, who grinned brightly before kissing him passionately.
Their tongues intertwined while Nu'bella undid Raven's clothes, revealing his muscular physique underneath.
She trailed kisses down his jawline, nipping at his sensitive spots along the way, causing Raven to shiver slightly as goosebumps formed along his skin until finally reaching his erect member, where Nu'bella began stroking him vigorously.
"Will you accept my request?" Nu'bella purred huskily into Raven's ears while continuing her ministrations, pumping his shaft faster, making Raven groan.
Raven didn't speak. Instead, he wrapped both hands around her soft, round ass and lifted Nu'bella into the air as she shrieked, twisting his body as he slammed her onto his bed with a soft thump.
Nu'bella giggled playfully as Raven crawled over her body, pinning her wrists above her head while using his other hand to caress her inner thighs, teasing her moist entrance.
"I will thoroughly complete and surpass your request, Nu'bella."
"Prepare yourself."
