The trio led by Esper then walked toward the hotel, which was just a few hundred feet away from them.
TRING TRING
Esper opened the door, making the bell attached to it ring, and a beautiful woman wearing a red maid uniform, seeing that new guests had arrived, walked over to them.
Esper, noticing the maid coming over to them, took the tickets out of her pocket, handed them to the maid, and said, "We need three rooms for the night."
The maid was a little startled by Esper's abruptness, but still took the tickets from her and inspected it.
After making sure that the tickets were original, she then looked over to Esper and said, "Please follow me, Miss. I will register you in the lobby, and then we can get you to your rooms."
Esper nodded her head at the maid nonchalantly and began to follow her to the lobby.
The hotel itself screamed opulence and luxury as thick curtains made out of expensive silks adorned its windows, expensive paintings and decorations dotted across its walls, and a big crystal chandelier that reflected light, brightening the lobby, hung above them in the center.
As the trio walked, they could sense a faint, pleasant smell of jasmine and rose in the air, calming and relaxing their tired minds.
The maid led them to the desk where she handed over the tickets to the lady sitting behind, "These guests here need three rooms for the night."
The receptionist took the tickets and checked their authenticity before checking the date of their departure.
She then entered their names in a book and gave it back to the maid, who returned it to Esper.
The receptionist then took out three keys from the drawer in the desk. The keys were made out of gold with a red gem embedded on it. It had numbers etched on them, indicating the room numbers.
The maid took the keys from the receptionist and turned toward Esper and said, "Miss, follow me; I will take you to your rooms."
The expressions on Esper's and Lilith's faces remained unchanged as they were used to this kind of opulence; in fact, Esper was a little disappointed. 'The hotel is not up to the mark to host royals!' she muttered to herself as she looked around the hallway with disappointment.
Aurelius, however, was looking at everything curiously. In his past life, he was just a failed priest who couldn't even have the ability to make ends meet, much less drown in luxury. Even in his new life, he transmigrated near a village that didn't have any luxury items to begin with.
His eyes darted around the hallway, looking at the expensive paintings and exotic flowers that filled the vases, exuding a pleasant fragrance.
The maid led them through another hallway before they reached its end. She then opened the last three rooms and turned toward the trio. "Miss," she said as she handed the keys to Esper.
"If you ever need anything, please ring the bell beside the bed. Our staff will come to help you with anything you need." She ended by bowing to them and went away.
Esper glanced at the keys for a moment before giving the one at the end to Lilith and said, "You should stay in at the end."
Lilith took the key from Esper and glanced toward Aurelius, who nodded his head, allowing her to take the room.
Esper watched this with a flat look on her face, seemingly having gotten used to Lilith taking permission from Aurelius.
But Aurelius, however, was frowning at Esper; he had observed this before on the streets too. 'What happened to her?' he asked himself. 'She would have cursed and snapped at me whenever this happened before, so why is she silent now?'
With each passing second, Aurelius felt that something was amiss. His mind raced to come up with some answers while his heartbeat quickened as he mumbled, "What is she planning?"
His instincts were telling him that something was not right and that Esper's shift in attitude toward him might mean something. 'Is she scheming something?' he muttered to himself.
While Aurelius was in his mind, brooding over why Esper was acting impassive, Esper, however, didn't linger around; she took the room in the middle, the one beside Lilith.
BANG
She closed the door behind her with a bang as she entered her room, not before giving Aurelius a strange look.
The sound of the door closing stirred Aurelius awake from his thoughts.
His deep blue eyes shone warily as he looked at the closed door, his hands curling into fists as he murmured, "I should be careful around her." He didn't know what she was scheming and decided to be more careful and observe her more.
He then turned to see Lilith still standing in front of her room, her eyes fixated on him while she bit her lip, waiting to see what he would do.
CHUCKLE
A laugh escaped Aurelius's mouth as he saw Lilith looking at him with anticipation. 'She is too cute!' he thought to himself as he walked over to her, his wariness slowly disappearing from his face as he pulled her into his embrace by the waist.
"Ah!" Lilith yelped in surprise as Aurelius tightly embraced her, his hands firmly grabbing her butt.
SQUEEZE
"Mmmhh~" Lilith moaned as she closed her eyes, feeling Aurelius's hands tightly squeeze her butt.
She could feel his breath on her ears as he leaned in closer, "We will continue in the ship, my dear Lilith~," he whispered and nibbled at her ear.
SHIVER
Lilith's body shivered with pleasure as she tightly clamped her thighs. Her hands tightly coiled around Aurelius while she hardly bit down on her lip, trying to suppress her moan.
Her breathing became hard while her eyes became cloudy; she hadn't had any sex since the moment Esper had arrived, and as a succubus who hadn't had any sex for ten days straight, she was horny, and Aurelius's every touch and action made a jolt of electricity pass through her spine.
Aurelius could feel Lilith's body trembling in his arms as she clung to him like a koala. He could feel her bountiful chest heaving up and down as her breathing became labored.
But Aurelius, despite his teasing and knowing that her body craved his, didn't want to go all the way yet: 'I have too many things on my mind and there's also the change in Esper.'
His mind was too scattered to experience pleasure or give pleasure, so he pulled away slightly from her ear, stared her right in the eyes, and said, "Patience, dear. There will be plenty of time for us on the ship."
Lilith bit her lip as she listened to her lord; her body was craving his touch and wanted to be with him. But she couldn't say no to him and had no choice but to obey.
She hesitantly nodded her head, pulled away from Aurelius, and walked toward her room.
Aurelius could see that Lilith was reluctant to let him go and really wanted to be with him, but 'I made up my mind!'
Lilith turned back to him one last time, seeing if he had changed his mind, but her shoulders slumped as she saw him firm. "Good night, my lord." She said before closing the door.
Hi guys,
I have changed the last line in the previous chapter, its nothing major and only the last line of the chapter, which I think is now more in tune with the setting.
And thank you enriquez for the power stones and special thanks to SoloQueen for the golden tickets.
