Chapter 3: Proposed
The moon hung low in the sky, its silver light casting long, dancing shadows through the grand windows of their cliffside mansion. The scent of jasmine and honeysuckle permeated the air, carried on the gentle sea breeze that whispered through the open balcony doors. The room was a symphony of soft, warm hues, the stained glass windows casting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the polished marble floor, each shard of glass a tiny sunbeam, dancing and flickering as the breeze stirred the heavy velvet curtains.
The scent of exotic flowers and the faint, sweet taste of mana hung heavy in the air, a testament to Lily's presence, her very essence permeating every corner of their shared home.
Ren, his muscular frame still glistening with sweat from their earlier encounter, lay beside Lily, his fingers absently tracing patterns on her bare back. Her skin was like velvet under his touch, warm and smooth, her body rising and falling with each steady breath. He watched her, his heart swelling with love and wonder.
