Chapter 189 - Asterion & Daphne (2)

On the bed, two naked figures could be seen sleeping together—a young blonde woman resting comfortably on the chest of a dark-haired young man. Her long, attractive legs stretched across the emerald green sheet. 

A scent of lust and debauchery lingered in the air. 

Daphne's long blonde hair was spread across Asterion's chest while her face rested on his shoulder with a serene, calm expression. 

Suddenly, her long and beautiful eyelashes fluttered before opening, revealing a pair of royal blue eyes. Her gaze showed a hint of confusion, but soon clarity returned to her eyes. 

Daphne looked up and saw her fiancé's face, sleeping defenselessly on the pillow. It was a sight she never tired of appreciating every time she woke up beside him. Seeing him so vulnerable only showed how comfortable he felt around her. This filled her heart with an indescribable sweetness. 

Raising herself slightly, Daphne's hair cascaded over his chest as her nude figure was perfectly revealed. 

Running her hand through her tousled hair, a smile appeared on Daphne's lips. Last night had been the best night of her life; it had been everything she had hoped for and much more. 

Though losing her virginity hadn't been entirely pleasant, she would remember that pain for the rest of her life. 

As for shame, she didn't feel any. She would do it again every day. She had no reason to be ashamed of something as natural as making love to her fiancé and future husband. 

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Daphne stretched her arms upward as her spine curved forward, emphasizing her hips, which pressed against the sheet. 

But before she could get out of bed and head to the bathroom, a pair of hands wrapped around her slim waist, pulling her back into the warmth and comfort of the bed. 

In an instant, Daphne found herself gazing into Asterion's red eyes. A smile traced his handsome lips, and the lipstick she had applied was smudged around both her mouth and Asterion's.

"What do you think you're doing?" Propping himself up against the headboard, Asterion asked, while Daphne's head rested on his abdomen. Without realizing it, his hands were tangled in her hair, which slipped easily through his fingers. 

Narrowing her eyes comfortably, Daphne replied calmly, "Taking a bath." 

"Weren't you going to invite me?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. 

"It was the first time I've ever seen you so relaxed; I didn't have the heart to wake you," Daphne answered calmly, stroking his abdomen. 

Asterion blinked a few times at that, realizing that he probably hadn't been this relaxed in years. He hadn't stopped training, studying, or doing anything that could make him stronger or help with his plan. Last night had been the most relaxing night he'd had in years. 

Looking at Daphne's nude figure, Asterion kissed her lips, and under a surprised gasp from his fiancée, he lifted her with his arms, standing on the bed.

"Let's take a bath together," he said, stepping off the bed and heading toward the bathroom. Daphne quickly recovered from the surprise of being suddenly swept up in his arms and smiled sensually. "Yes, my dear husband."

"You're playing with fire," Asterion remarked calmly, noticing her subtle movements.

"And what if I want to get burned?" Daphne laughed, replying with a teasing tone.

Asterion didn't respond and walked into the bathroom.

Moments later, muffled moans and loud, repeated sounds echoed from the bathroom.

- Rose, who was leaning against the window with a book in her hands and a dragon egg on her lap, turned the page and checked the information contained in the book written by Newt Scamander.

She had to admit, there were geniuses in every field you could imagine, and Newt Scamander was one of those geniuses. The man had cataloged and studied magical creatures to the extreme.

There were so many details that made Rose's eyes light up. From feeding habits, sleep patterns, and even mating seasons, the book explained everything clearly and in a way that was easy to learn.

With a book like this in hand, even a Muggle could take care of a dragon. Of course, the Muggle would probably end up as dragon food once the creature got bigger. Still, it was incredible to raise a dragon without magic!

This showed just how precious Scamander's books were. At this moment, in Hogwarts, you could say Newt Scamander's books were the most sought-after. Representatives from magical schools were willing to pay a hefty sum to read Scamander's works.

The book in her hands had been stolen from Dumbledore's office while the man wasn't present. On the cover, there was even Newt Scamander's autograph!

Suddenly, Rose wrinkled her nose and smelled a familiar scent—the same perfume Daphne always wore.

Lifting her head, she saw Daphne sit beside her on the windowsill, a proud smile on her face.

Rose raised an eyebrow, confused by the arrogance Daphne was displaying.

As if reading her thoughts, Daphne responded with a smile, "Last night, Asterion and I went all the way."

At that moment, Rose didn't need to hear anything else and knew the reason behind Daphne's pride. Snorting coldly, Rose suppressed the jealousy in her heart and acted indifferent to the fact that Daphne had become a woman before her. "So what? It's just sex."

Daphne wasn't surprised by Rose's seemingly indifferent expression; she knew how proud the girl was. "Well, it doesn't really matter. I took Asterion's first time, and he took mine."

Rose looked at Daphne with amusement. She didn't believe Daphne's words for a second. Don't get her wrong—she believed Daphne had lost her virginity to Asterion, but she didn't believe Asterion had lost his virginity to Daphne.

Why?

The answer was obvious—Asterion knew very well how to handle a girl. Rose didn't believe for a second that Asterion had remained a virgin with that kind of experience.

This was something you only learned after being in a relationship, something Asterion had definitely been in before.

And the main culprit for deflowering her cousin and future husband was obvious!

Narcissa Black, who, by the way, was also his cousin!

There was no other option besides the beautiful platinum-blonde woman. During Arcturus' funeral, she had noticed their closeness, the way Narcissa touched Asterion's arm, and other looks that were far too intimate for mere cousins.

Now that she thought about it, Rose couldn't help but notice that she too was Asterion's cousin, and they were going to get married. Wouldn't that make her as incestuous as their ancestors?

Was incest in their blood?

Rose shook her head, dismissing those dangerous thoughts.

Seeing that Rose showed no reaction to her words, Daphne's arrogance faded, as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on her. She couldn't help but feel disheartened. Taking Asterion's first time was the only thing she could be proud of in front of Rose, a Special Grade Witch.

"How was it?" Daphne snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing Rose's curious voice.

"Better than I could've imagined," Daphne said, her cheeks a little flushed as she remembered her boldness the previous night and what had happened in the bathroom.

Rose's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

[Author's Note: Unlike men, women talk about their sexual experiences with their friends—and believe me, they talk a lot. So, if you're dating and your girlfriend has a circle of friends, trust me, they know what you do in bed. Sorry to scare you with my words~]

"Details!" Rose said with a smile. She wanted information not just to satisfy her curiosity but also to outdo Daphne when it was her turn.

Remembering the pain she had felt, Daphne's face paled slightly—it had been a damn pain, like being cut open with a knife.

"It hurt a lot. My mother lied to me when she said it wouldn't be that painful," Daphne remarked, clearly dissatisfied with her mother's advice.

"Maybe she wasn't wrong; it could be different for different women," Rose said, comforting her future friend/sister... and wife?

Daphne nodded and began to tell her story with an excited expression.
