章 607: ~Hiding? That's New~

"I am in heaven?" Aether mumbled as eyes slowly fluttered, his face nestled against two soft, warm mounds. His breath hitched as he inhaled the intoxicatingly sweet milky scent of her skin.

His cheek pressed deeper into the plushness, and he could swear he felt her nipples through the thin fabric of her top.

"Of course not, silly... Are you alright, Aether?" Delphine's voice was laced with concern, though her cheeks were dusted with a soft pink. Her fingers gently massaged his forehead, brushing back strands of his damp hair.

She glanced down at him, her lap cradling his head, her cleavage tantalizingly close to his face.

Aether exhaled a shaky breath, his body relaxing under her soothing touch. The burning sensation that once consumed him had vanished, replaced by an almost overwhelming warmth, "Yeah... I think I'm fine now," he murmured, though his voice was low, almost breathless.
