Free Web NovelChapter 23: Lyriana 1 (R18)
Lyriana stood by the door for a few seconds.
Adam immediately noticed that she hadn’t come as usual.
Not as a guard.
Not as a scout.
Not as the silent shadow that followed Elena in dangerous moments.
Tonight, Lyriana seemed to simply be herself.
And that made her almost more vulnerable than if he had seen her injured.
Adam said nothing.
He waited.
Finally, the dark elf took a shallow breath.
"Ever since I was young, everyone has expected something of me."
Her voice was calm.
But less cold than usual.
"My mother is Astraea Noctis Sylvermoon. One of the chief guardians of the World Tree. My blood bears an ancient name. My people see me as a representative. Other nations see me as an heir." "The enemies see me as a threat."
She gave a faint, joyless smile.
"And here in Valoria, many see me as Elena’s shadow. The one who watches, protects, investigates, and strikes before danger reaches the light."
Adam remained silent.
Lyriana moved slowly into the room.
"I don’t hate this role."
She gently placed a hand against her chest.
"I chose to protect Elena. I chose to serve Valoria. I chose to help Isadora and the others. But sometimes..."
Her violet eyes lifted to his.
"Sometimes, I wish someone could see me without all these names. Without my duties. Without my blood. Without my function."
Adam understood then.
He remembered their first conversations.
Her way of answering briefly.
Of keeping her distance.
To hide her emotions behind a calm expression.
Lyriana wasn’t cold.
She was used to being useful before being noticed.
She continued in a lower voice:
"When you detected me in the forest, I was surprised at first."
A slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Very surprised, even. Few people can spot me from that distance. Even less so a man who had only just arrived in this world."
Adam lightly scratched his cheek.
"To be honest, I didn’t really know what I was doing."
"I know."
This time, her smile softened.
"That’s precisely what intrigued me. You weren’t pretending. You were simply... you."
She lowered her eyes slightly.
"You asked me questions. You listened to me. You spoke to me like a person, not like a weapon."
A silence followed.
Then she added:
"And lately, when you look at me..."
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
"I have the feeling you see Lyriana. Not Astraea’s daughter. Not the dark elf. Not the assassin. Not Elena’s protector."
She looked up.
"Just Lyriana."
Adam felt her expression soften.
He took a step toward her.
"That’s because that’s what I see."
Lyriana remained still.
But her fingers tightened slightly.
"You shouldn’t say things like that so casually."
"Why not?"
"Because it’s dangerous."
"For whom?"
She stared at him for a long moment.
Then she whispered:
"For me."
Silence returned.
This time, it wasn’t awkward.
It was heavy.
Filled with words neither of them had yet spoken.
Adam moved closer again.
"Lyriana."
She raised her head.
"Yes?"
"You came just to talk to me?"
For a second, the dark elf seemed to hesitate.
Then she slowly shook her head.
"No."
Her violet eyes trembled slightly.
"I came because I wanted to be honest with you."
She placed a hand on his arm.
"I like you, Adam."
The words were simple.
But for Lyriana, they seemed harder to utter than an oath before a king.
"I don’t know exactly what will become of this yet. I don’t want to lie and say that everything is clear in my mind. But I do know one thing."
She moved closer.
"I want to stay close to you."
Adam gently placed his hand on hers.
"Then stay."
Lyriana’s eyes widened slightly.
Then, for the first time since he’d known her, her composure completely shattered.
She rose slightly onto her tiptoes.
And kissed him.
This kiss was unlike Elena’s.
Or Isadora’s.
It was hesitant at first.
Almost cautious.
As if Lyriana were discovering a part of herself she’d kept locked away for so long.
Then, little by little, her restraint crumbled.
Her fingers tightened around Adam’s garment.
Her breath quickened.
And all the tension she’d held onto for days seemed to finally find its release.
Adam pulled her close.
Lyriana didn’t resist.
On the contrary.
She slowly surrendered to this newfound warmth, to this closeness she had longed for without daring to admit it.
In this silent chamber, the dark elf ceased to be a shadow.
She ceased to be a duty.
She ceased to be a blade.
She simply became a woman again.
A woman named Lyriana.
And Adam, as he had promised without even saying it, looked at her like that.
She gazed into his eyes and felt his. They could not exchange words, but shared more abstract things, as well as more... physical interactions.
She knew the couples were kissing and caressing each other, and, as if by instinct, her lips parted unconsciously as she moved closer to his mouth, unexpectedly.
Slowly, they drew closer, their breaths mingling, and their burning lips met.
She could only suck on his tongue, savoring its taste as he explored her at will. She felt her breath being drawn from her, and even when Adam withdrew, seemingly satisfied, she still felt wet, breathless, her mouth filled with that unusual flavor, a flavor that belonged exclusively to her beloved Adam.
No part of her could find it unpleasant; certainly different from other girls, but she belonged to Adam, and that was why her heart raced, her whole body ablaze with desire.
Adam caressed her soft skin as he kissed her, pressing his sex against hers. His hands slowly moved upwards, and Lyriana let out a sigh when he cupped her breasts in his palms.
Adam broke away from the kiss and lowered his head, tracing a line of kisses along her jawline before burying his face in her neck, kissing and sucking it passionately.
Lyriana moaned under his caresses, her eyes closed, as Adam squeezed her breasts, pinching and pulling at her swollen, pink nipples, harder than ever. Her hands involuntarily dug into her hair, pulling her firmly against him.
"Oh Adam... mmm... don’t stop..."
Adam had no intention of stopping anytime soon. He moved lower and cupped her left breast in his mouth, sucking firmly on her hard nipple before swirling his tongue around the bud, caressing it with his fingertips.
He repeated the same movements with her right breast before moving back up to kiss her.
They paused for a moment and removed their clothing, their eyes devouring each other.
"So beautiful," Adam murmured, gazing at her, his dark skin making her even more alluring.
Her breasts were as large as expected, their nipples already erect with excitement.
Lyriana’s gaze, however, remained fixed on his penis.
"My God! You’re so big!" Lyriana exclaimed. "I already glimpsed it the other day when we woke up, Elena and you, and I felt it against me through my clothes, but seeing it live and so close confirms just how special you are, Adam."
Slowly, they moved closer again and kissed more passionately this time.
Lyriana seemed much more absorbed by the kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer as she deepened the kiss.
Her legs wrapped around his waist to hold him in place, and she began to arch her back, rubbing her dripping sex against his erect penis. His penis slid between her lips, its full length brushing against her virginal lips, and Lyriana gasped, pulling away from the kiss.
Her eyes wide with wild desire, the Elf gazed at him with irresistible longing, and Adam found in them what he so desperately craved; he was overjoyed to finally see that look in the eyes of a sexy girl.
"Take me away, Adam," she whispered.
Adam thrust his hips forward, swirling his entire length against her wet folds.
"Plead for it, Lyriana," he commanded firmly.
"Please take me, Adam," she begged. "Please give me everything. Please fuck me." "Please, Adam, take my virginity and make me yours!"
Adam rubbed his penis against her lips while kissing her neck, wrapping his lips around her nipples one after the other and sucking them hard. Lyriana’s breathing came in ragged gasps, her nails grazing her scalp, and she slipped her hand between them, grasping his penis for the first time.
Impatiently, she positioned it against her entrance, rubbing the head of his penis against her wet lips, parting her lower lips for him. She never would have believed she would suddenly be so eager to give her virginity to a man, but she couldn’t control herself.
Adam lifted his head as he thrust forward, and Lyriana let out a high-pitched cry as he entered her. He pressed his hand against her buttocks for support. Then he withdrew before thrusting again, plunging even deeper into her burning depths. He withdrew and pushed her back again and again.
Lyriana’s eyes were filled with adoration as she held him close, her bare breasts and hard nipples pressing hot against his chest as he thrust his entire length inside her.
"Yes, Adam," she murmured. "Take me. Give me everything."
"Are you sure?" he asked. The Elf nodded firmly, her eyes meeting his. "Very well then."
Adam embraced her, holding her tightly against him. He withdrew completely, leaving only the tip of his penis inside her. With a swift thrust, he penetrated her narrow walls and plunged fully into her.
Lyriana suddenly opened her eyes in disbelief, overwhelmed by the incredible sensation of pressure that penetrated her deeply as Adam stretched his entrance.
She was amazed that her vagina was so receptive to his incredibly large penis. She attributed it to the arousal she felt for him, which made her wetter than ever.
He might have been her first man, but she knew sex and how it worked well, having dedicated herself to learning as much as possible before meeting him.
Her eyes were fixed on him as he gazed intently at her, observing her expressions, first of shock, then of ecstasy.
"I know this is your first time with a man," he said softly, leaning closer. Lyriana closed her eyes as she felt his warm breath on her lips. "I’ll do my best to make it unforgettable."
Lyriana felt the walls of her vagina dilate even further as he penetrated her more deeply, the pressure increasing with each thrust. She let out a moan as she felt the head of his penis bump against the entrance to her cervix, her heart racing as she stared at him, eyes wide.
It felt as if he were in her throat, and her mouth went completely dry as her body experienced for the first time the sensation of a penis’s fullness, and what’s more, such an impressive one.
She gasped, her mind filled with wonder, as she felt the warmth of his heavy, swollen testicles erotically caress the bare skin of her buttocks, and realized she had taken his entire length inside her. Lyriana looked up at Adam, desire burning in her eyes, and the pleasure emanating from her made her feel so strong, so confident, like never before.
