The Fallen Vampire

Chapter 199: A Family Reunited

Taira, Lucia, and Keran returned to the sect at around nightfall, and were met at the great stone bridge.

Taira had barely stepped foot over the threshold before a woman fell out of the sky and planted herself in his chest.

Vermeil wrapped her legs around her husband's waist while her hands caressed his hair and ears.

"You were gone for foreverrr!!! I thought I was going to die without you!"

Taira smiled as he felt Vermeil leave her own little bite marks along his neck.

"We're sorry to keep you waiting for so long, my love."

"Sorry, that's not going to cut it, handsome. You know how I like my apologies."

A heat passed into Taira's stomach and he was reminded that a certain hunger of his had remained unfulfilled for a while now.

Vermeil smiled provocatively as she brought her full lips beside his ears.

"I have a surprise for you, darling~ Tonight will be very special for us."

"Is that so..? And why is that?"

Vermeil's lips were so close that Taira could feel her warm breath against his skin, and the excitement that dripped from her words as she told him:

"She's out~"

Taira didn't need to hear anything else to know what she meant.

He disappeared in a gust of cold air and left Vermeil giggling as she floated to the floor.

"You know, sometimes I wonder if he would be that excited to see me too if I just suddenly left, but then I remember I would actually have to leave him to test it... And why should I have to make myself suffer over one little test?"

Keran and Lucia giggled cutely as Vermeil embraced them both too.

But just as the starlight saintess was about to ask about how her in-laws were doing, she laid eyes on the newcomer who was being dwarfed by Keran's height.

"Oh, hello! Who is this?"

Keran put her arm around the woman who stood out like a fish out of water.

Which, she kind of was.

Standing in the shadows was a woman with rich, dark skin and liquid aqua-colored hair that literally flowed with a life of it's own.

A pair of blue fins were located on either side of her head and glittered in tune with her vibrant golden eyes.

She had a mature, motherly body that was undeniably attractive. The shining fish scales along her legs and feet only added to her allure.

"This is Yem. She's been gracious enough to take up the posting as our chef." Lucia smiled.

"All by herself??" Vermeil questioned.

"It's funny, since I have also wondered that. And no matter the time I spend pondering it, the conclusion I reach remains the same.

If you hadn't come to me, I like to think that I would have eventually been wise enough to come to you on my own."

"...That may be giving yourself too much credit. For a calculating man, you can be terribly slow." She teased.

"And that's why I would have needed you. To keep me sharp and on my toes."

Taira stopped so close to Aveena that he could smell her; and yet he didn't touch her skin. No matter how badly he wanted to...

"...You've been busy with our home." Aveena finally said.

"I have indeed. Does it please you?"

"It's wonderful... It feels as if we have made something ours while still honoring the foundation that was laid before us. Thank you."

Aveena was utterly unable to resist and laid her head on Taira's chest. Even with her domineering physique, now she just seemed like a harmless maiden in love.

"...Have you missed me, my other half?"

"Unbearably so." Taira answered instantly.

Aveena could tell by the way her husband's heart was beating that he wasn't lying to her.

"Enyo said that there was a lot you needed to catch me up on."

"There is." he admitted.

"Then should we go inside and-"

"No... It can wait. It has to."

Taira lifted one claw and slowly cut the bandages that were binding Aveena's chest.

When her breasts spilled free, the combined sounds of their heartbeat became so loud that you could hear them even without evolved ears.

"...Can't hold back until tonight?" Aveena laughed dryly.

"I can't." Taira denied in a husky vice as he pulled off his own clothes.

He freed his throbbing member from his pants and Aveena let out a small gasp.

Taira feeds on both blood and sexual energy as a Nogitsune vampire.

However, the sun and moon cultivation art has a unique effect on his body to where he needs regular intercourse with each of his wives to ensure he's getting a 'proper' diet.

Missing Aveena for all of these days was taxing on him, and now that he was laying eyes on her after so long, his need had exploded.

"You never asked me if I missed you, you know..?" Aveena smiled as she let the last of her clothing fall to the floor.

With her underwear removed, the scent of her need flooded the air and turned Taira's eyes hazy.

"I guess you could already tell my answer though... couldn't you, husband?"
