บท 16: We'll do it ourselves

Aiko stepped out of the throne room, closing the imposing doors behind her with a heavy sigh escaping her lips. "Finally, that's dealt with," she uttered, her voice tinged with a mix of relief and exhaustion.

Before Aiko could fully gather herself, a voice thundered from behind her, causing her to tense. "What in the hell is your game here?!" The voice resounded through the dimly lit hall.

Startled, Aiko swiftly turned to face the source of the voice, only to find Quin standing there, his face contorted with anger. In an instant, he lunged forward, grabbing Aiko's hand and forcefully pinning her against the cold stone wall. The fury in his eyes was undeniable.

Aiko met his gaze, her expression remaining calm and composed despite the intensity of the situation. "Before you continue," she spoke calmly, her voice carrying an unwavering resolve, "just know that whatever happens from this point on, it will be in self-defense."

Quin's grip tightened, his knuckles turning white as he struggled to contain his anger. Conflicting emotions flickered across his face as he searched Aiko's eyes for answers, his mind grappling with a myriad of thoughts.

"Why are you defending that magicless freak?" Quin's voice seethed with an intense hatred for Ethan, his grip tightening on Aiko's hand.

Aiko let out a weary sigh, her gaze steady as she faced Quin. "Is that really the question you want to ask?" she replied, her tone filled with a mix of exasperation and disbelief. "Are you questioning why I chose to help someone who clearly needed it?"

Quin's anger flared, his voice rising to a shout. "Don't play dumb!" He bellowed, his grip on her hand becoming even more forceful. "You know exactly what I mean!".

Aiko met his outburst with unwavering composure. "Think what you will," she countered, her voice calm but firm. "But I am in no way abandoning him just because you want to play the dick hunt with his priestess."

Quin's protests faltered, his words catching in his throat. Aiko's revelation hit him with unexpected force, his anger momentarily overshadowed by confusion and surprise.

"That's not...," He began, his voice trailing off.

"Don't think I haven't noticed," Aiko continued, her voice cutting through the tension. "You've been acting suspicious lately, and that woman... She's clearly pulling your strings. It's quite pathetic, really."

Aiko's words hung in the air, a sharp insult laced with disdain. Her expression held a mixture of disappointment and contempt as she regarded Quin, her assessment of the situation unyielding.

"Shut up!" Quin's voice erupted in a sudden outburst, his anger burning fiercely. "You don't know anything about her! She deserves someone who's truly worthy, unlike that jackass!"

Aiko let out another weary sigh, her patience wearing thin. "I'm done with this," she declared, her voice tinged with frustration. In a swift and calculated move, she drove her knee into Quin's crutch, causing him to lose his grip and stumble backward.

As Quin grappled with the sudden pain, Aiko took a moment to massage her wrist, her gaze unwavering. "I didn't expect you to be one of those men who let their desires cloud their judgment," she uttered, her words laced with a mix of disappointment and disdain.

Without further hesitation, Aiko turned away, her footsteps echoing down the hall as she walked away from the confrontation. The tension between them remained unresolved, leaving Quin to ponder the weight of his actions and the consequences of his blind loyalty.

…..

Quin pushed open the door, his troubled expression still etched upon his face, the weight of Aiko's words resonating in his mind. The room before him was shrouded in a dim, sultry ambiance, and there, reclining provocatively on the bed, lay Gabi. Her alluring figure was adorned in a revealing black nightgown, accentuating her enticing curves and exuding an undeniable allure.

"Oh~ welcome back," Gabi purred, her voice laced with a seductive undertone that sent a shiver down Quin's spine.

A sudden shift occurred within Quin as his troubled thoughts dissipated, replaced by a smile that spread across his face. In that moment, all worries and doubts seemed to vanish as his attention became captivated by Gabi's irresistible presence.

"You're here," Quin responded, his voice tinged with a mix of relief and desire. The complexities of his previous encounter with Aiko faded into the background as he found himself drawn entirely to Gabi, the allure she emanated overpowering any lingering concerns.

Quin gracefully settled himself at the edge of the bed, his smile unwavering as he gazed upon Gabi's enticing form. "Your presence here has truly elevated this day a hundredfold," he confessed, his voice carrying a genuine sense of delight.

Gabi, her voice tinged with a hint of caution, replied, "Well, I must maintain some distance to avoid arousing suspicion among the others~." With a measured grace, she gracefully made her way closer to Quin, her movements deliberate and purposeful.

As she drew near, her hand began to glide gently across his back, a soothing caress that ignited a flicker of warmth within him. With tender care, she wrapped her arms around him from behind, their bodies melding together in an intimate embrace.

Quin could feel her soft milky tits, pressing against his back, and the more she moved, the more difficult it became to hide his pleasure.

His voice quivered as he mustered the courage to voice his concerns. "Speaking of which... Aiko is onto us, and it seems the king is unwilling to offer any assistance," He confessed, his face flushing crimson as the intoxicating allure of Gabi's boobs pressed against his back.

Gabi met his words with a knowing nod, a hint of resignation in her expression. "I anticipated as much... Aiko is no ordinary woman; her intelligence is formidable," she acknowledged, her hands sensually gliding across her own chest before playfully teasing Quin's nipples, eliciting an erotic moan from him.

"But I've told you not to worry about that… if the king isn't lending any assistance…then we'll just have to do it ourselves." She said with a small giggle.

"What do you mean by…".

"Oh my, look, you have a boner." Gabi voiced, looking down at Quin's rod that was begging to be out of his pants.

With a smile, Gabi placed her hands on his crutch, caressing the tip as she looked Quin in the eye, "Let's take care of this…shall we?".
