Chapter 1: Revelation
The village of Hearthglen slept under a blanket of stars, the moon casting silver shadows through the leaves of the ancient trees. Diluc paced his room, the wooden floor creaking with each heavy step. His heart pounded like a war drum in his chest, echoing the turmoil that churned within him. Something was off with Lumine. He could feel it in his bones, like the first chill of an impending storm.
He ran a hand through his dark hair, his blue eyes reflecting the flickering light of the candle. Lumine, his betrothed, had been acting strangely for weeks.
She was distant, her eyes holding secrets he couldn't unlock. Tonight, she had slipped out of the house, claiming a late-night visit to her mother's grave. But Diluc had his doubts. He couldn't shake the feeling that something—or someone—else was drawing her out into the night.
He grabbed his cloak from the back of a chair and shrugged it on, the soft wool whispering against his muscular frame. He paused at the door, his hand on the latch, and glanced back at his reflection in the mirror. The man staring back at him was tall, his features sharp and proud, but the eyes were troubled.
Diluc took a deep breath, his resolve hardening. He had to know what was going on. He deserved to know.
He slipped out of the house, the cool night air nipping at his nose. The village was quiet, the only sound the hoot of an owl perched on the roof of the blacksmith's forge. He moved through the shadows, his steps sure and quiet, just as his father had taught him. The woods loomed ahead, a dark wall of ancient trees that seemed to whisper secrets to one another.
Diluc paused at the edge of the woods, his senses on high alert.
The forest was a different world at night, alive with unseen creatures and whispers of unknown languages. He stepped in, his boots sinking slightly into the soft earth. The air was damp, carrying the scent of pine and decaying leaves. He followed the path Lumine had taken, his eyes scanning the darkness for any sign of her.
He heard them before he saw them. Soft whispers, a rustle of leaves, and then a low moan that made his blood run cold. He moved towards the sound, his heart pounding in his chest. The trees thinned out, revealing a small glade bathed in the silvery light of the moon.
In the heart of the glade, two figures were entwined, their bodies moving in a rhythm as old as time itself. Diluc's breath hitched as he recognized Lumine, her blonde hair cascading down her back, her lips parted in a soft moan. And there, with his hands on her waist, was Ajax, the huntsman's son.
Diluc felt a wave of nausea hit him as he watched, his heart pounding painfully in his chest. He had suspected something, but seeing it... seeing them... it was a punch to the gut.
The world spun around him as he grappled with the raw, visceral emotions that surged through him. Disgust. Jealousy. Rage. But beneath it all, a deep, aching pain.
Lumine gasped, her back arching as Ajax's lips moved against her neck. Diluc's hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white with the effort of holding back. He wanted to roar, to scream, to tear them apart. But he stood frozen, a voyeur to his own ruin.
"Lumine..." Ajax murmured, his voice thick with desire.
His hands slid down to grip her hips, pulling her closer. Diluc's stomach churned, a bitter taste rising in his throat. He had known Ajax since they were boys, had hunted with him, fought with him, laughed with him. But this... this was a betrayal he could not comprehend.
Lumine's eyes fluttered closed, her breath hitching as Ajax's mouth found hers again. Diluc's jaw clenched, a muscle twitching in his cheek. The pain in his chest was unbearable, a physical ache that made him want to double over.
Betrayal, sharp and bitter, coated his tongue. How could she? He had trusted her, loved her, and this is how she repaid him?
He should leave, should turn away and forget this ever happened. But his feet remained glued to the spot, a captive to the scene before him. He couldn’t tear his gaze away, even as he felt a part of him withering under the weight of reality.
He watched as Ajax’s hands explored Lumine’s body, his fingers tracing patterns on her skin. She responded eagerly, her body moving in rhythm with his.
Ajax’s hands roamed over her, his touch intense and hungry. Diluc could see the lust in Lumine’s eyes, a raw and primal need that she reserved only for this man. It was a sight that both repulsed and aroused him, a twisted mix of emotions that left him feeling sick and yet, inexplicably, aroused.
He watched as Ajax’s hands gripped Lumine’s ass, lifting her against him. Her legs wrapped around his waist, her skirt riding up to reveal her pale thighs. Diluc’s breath hitched, his body responding to the scene despite his mind’s protest.
He could feel the dampness of the forest, the cool night air on his face, but his senses were overwhelmed by the heat of their passion. He watched, horrified yet spellbound, as Lumine's skirt bunched up around Ajax’s waist, leaving her completely exposed.
Ajax wasted no time. He bent Lumine back against a tree, her blonde hair cascading down like a waterfall of gold. His hands were rough, desperate, as he grabbed her thighs and spread her wide.
Lumine gasped, her eyes fluttering open to meet Ajax's gaze. The huntsman's son looked wild, his eyes dark with need, his jaw clenched. He looked like a man possessed, and perhaps he was. Possessed by his desire for her.
Diluc's heart pounded in his chest like a drum, each beat echoing the sickening realization that slammed into him. This was not some innocent tryst. This was raw, passionate, and forbidden. And Lumine was loving every second of it.
Ajax didn't waste time on preamble.
His cock, hard and throbbing, was already straining against his breeches, eager to bury itself inside Lumine. He fumbled with his belt, the leather creaking as he pulled it off, his fingers shaking with urgency. Lumine watched him, her chest heaving, her eyes dark with desire.
"Ajax," she whispered, her voice thick with need. "Please... I need you."
Ajax growled, a primal sound that echoed through the glade. He shoved his breeches down, his cock springing free, hard and ready.
He was large, much larger than Diluc had ever imagined, and the sight of it sent a jolt of unexpected arousal through him. He clenched his fists, his nails biting into his palms as he struggled to control his body's traitorous response.
Ajax positioned himself at Lumine's entrance, the head of his cock pressing against her wet folds. She whimpered, her hips lifting to meet him, urging him inside. Diluc could see her arousal glistening in the moonlight, a sight that both repulsed and aroused him.
He felt a wave of nausea hit him, but his body betrayed him, his own cock stirring to life despite his mind's protests. He gritted his teeth, his jaw clenching so hard he thought it might shatter.
Ajax, however, was not about to wait. He thrust into her, a harsh, brutal movement that drove Lumine's back against the tree. She gasped, her eyes widening as Ajax filled her entirely.
"Fuck," Ajax growled, his voice low and guttural.
"You're so fucking tight, Lumine."
Lumine whimpered, her fingers digging into Ajax's shoulders. "More," she begged, her voice a desperate plea. "I need more."
Diluc watched, his heart pounding in his chest like a war drum, as Ajax began to move. His thrusts were hard, brutal, each one driving Lumine's back against the tree trunk. The sound of their bodies coming together filled the glade, the wet smack of flesh against flesh echoing through the night.
Lumine's breasts bounced with each thrust, her nipples hard and erect.
Ajax leaned down, capturing one in his mouth, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh. Lumine cried out, her fingers tangling in his hair, urging him on.
Diluc's breath came in ragged gasps, his chest heaving as he watched the raw, primal scene before him. His cock ached, straining against his breeches, but he dared not touch himself. The sight before him was too much, too twisted, too wrong.
Ajax's hands gripped Lumine's hips, his fingers digging into her soft flesh as he pounded into her. Each thrust was a brutal claiming, a primal marking of territory.
Ajax's muscles tensed beneath his tanned skin, his jaw clenched as he pistoned in and out of Lumine with a force that made Diluc's stomach churn. Yet, despite the nausea that gripped him, he couldn't tear his eyes away. The sight of Lumine's body, flushed and glistening with sweat, was seared into his mind. Her breasts heaved with each harsh breath, her nipples hard and pointed. Her legs were wrapped around Ajax's waist, her ankles locked at the small of his back, urging him deeper.
His hips moved like a well-oiled machine, each thrust deliberate and hard. Diluc could see the muscles in Ajax's arms tense as he held Lumine against the tree, his hands gripping her waist like a lifeline.
Lumine's breath came in short gasps, her chest heaving with each pant. She was lost in the moment, her eyes closed, her head thrown back against the tree trunk. Her body was slick with sweat, her skin glowing in the moonlight, and Diluc could see the beads of perspiration trickling down her collarbone.
Ajax's grunts were animalistic, primal.
Each thrust was a claim, a declaration of ownership. He was marking her, claiming her in the most basic, carnal way possible. And Lumine loved it. She met his thrusts with wild abandon, her body arching to meet his.
"Faster," she panted, her voice a ragged plea. "Harder, Ajax. Fuck me harder."
Ajax obliged, his thrusts becoming even more brutal, his body slapping against hers with a wet, obscene sound. The tree bark bit into Lumine's back, but she didn't care.
The pain was a distant thing, a dull ache that barely registered as Ajax's cock filled her completely. Her body was on fire, every nerve ending alive and screaming for more. She clung to Ajax, her nails digging into his shoulders, urging him deeper, harder.
"Fuck, Lumine," Ajax growled, his voice ragged. "You're so goddamn tight."
He thrust into her, his cock hitting her deep, the base of it slapping against her clit with each brutal movement. Lumine moaned, her eyes rolling back in her head.
She could feel every inch of him, filling her completely, stretching her to her limit. The pain and pleasure mix was intoxicating, and she was desperate for more. "Give me more, Ajax."
Ajax growled, his hands tightening on her hips. He pulled out almost completely, leaving only the head of his cock inside her, before slamming back in with a force that made her cry out.
"Is this what you want, Lumine?" he panted, his voice harsh.
"You want me to fucking ruin you, Lumine? Make you feel me for days?"
Lumine whimpered, her eyes meeting his, wild and desperate. "Yes," she begged. "Yes, Ajax. Ruin me."
Ajax's eyes darkened at her words, and he began to move again, his thrusts slow and deliberate, each one a torturous slide of his cock in and out of her. Lumine moaned, her body writhing against him, desperate for more. But Ajax held back, his control ironclad.
"Please," Lumine begged, her voice a ragged plea.
"I can't take it, Ajax. I need more. Please."
Ajax chuckled, a low, dark sound that sent shivers down Lumine's spine. "You want more, little bird?" he growled, his voice thick with desire. "You think you can take more of me?"
Lumine nodded, her eyes locked onto his. "Yes," she whimpered. "I want all of you, Ajax. Everything."
Ajax's eyes darkened, and he began to move again, his thrusts slow and deliberate, each one a torturous slide of his cock in and out of her.
He leant forward, his hand gripping her throat, not to choke her, but to hold her in place. The touch sent a shiver of excitement down Lumine's spine, a dark thrill that she had never experienced before.
"You're mine, Lumine," Ajax growled, his voice low and dangerous. "Say it."
Lumine gasped, her eyes widening as she felt the power in his touch.
The pressure on her throat was just enough to keep her in place, to make her feel owned, claimed. She loved it. "Yes," she whispered, her voice raw with desire. "Yes, I'm yours, Ajax."
Ajax's eyes flashed, a dark, primal hunger taking over. He tightened his grip on her throat, just a fraction, before releasing it and replacing his hand with his mouth. He captured her lips in a brutal kiss, his teeth clashing against hers, his tongue invading her mouth.
He tasted like sin, like danger, like everything Lumine had ever craved.
Their teeth clashed, their tongues dueled, and she could feel the wildness in him, the untamed beast that was always lurking just beneath the surface. She loved him.
Ajax's hand left her throat and moved down to grip her breast, his fingers kneading the soft flesh, his thumb rubbing against her nipple. Lumine moaned into his mouth, her body arching against his touch. His hand was rough, his touch demanding, and it sent sparks of pleasure shooting through her veins.
He pinched her nipple, hard, and she gasped, her back bowing off the tree.
The pain was exquisite, a sharp contrast to the pleasure that followed as he soothed the sting with his thumb. He did it again, and again, each pinch followed by a roll of his thumb, each time making her moan deeper, her body writhing against his.
"Ajax," she panted, her voice a ragged plea. "Please.
He smirked against her mouth, his eyes dark and hungry. "Not yet, love," he growled. "Not until I've made you mine completely."
He broke their kiss, his mouth trailing down her neck, his teeth nipping at her skin.
Lumine's head fell back against the tree, her eyes fluttering closed as she surrendered to the sensations coursing through her.
Ajax's hands were everywhere, exploring, claiming, marking her as his own. He gripped her waist, his fingers digging into her soft flesh, holding her still as he pounded into her. The sound of their bodies slapping together filled the glade, a lewd, obscene symphony that seemed to echo through the very soul of the forest.
Lumine could feel every inch of him, stretching her, filling her completely.
Ajax's cock was relentless, each thrust pushing her closer to the edge. She could feel the pressure building, a heat that started low in her belly and spread outwards, threatening to consume her.
"Ajax... I'm... I'm close," she panted, her breath coming in short gasps. She could feel it, the orgasm just within reach, her body trembling with anticipation. "That's it, love," he said, his voice a dark whisper. "Come for me.
Let go, Lumine. I want to feel you come all over my cock," Ajax growled, his voice guttural and raw.
Lumine whimpered, her body taut with anticipation. She was so close, so fucking close to the edge.
Her breasts bounced with each brutal thrust, her nipples scraping against Ajax's chest. The friction was exquisite, a sharp contrast to the wet, slick heat of his cock filling her.
She could feel every inch of him, every vein, every ridge. He was fucking her so hard, so deep, she could feel his cockhead hitting her womb with each brutal thrust.
Lumine's nails raked down Ajax's back, leaving red welts in their wake. "Fuck me, Ajax," she pleaded, her voice a ragged whisper. "Fuck me harder. Make me come."
Ajax obliged, his thrusts becoming even more brutal, his body slamming into hers with a force that made her cry out. The tree bark bit into her back, but she didn't care.
The pain was just another sensation to add to the symphony of pleasure and desire that coursed through her. She could feel Ajax's body against hers, his muscles taut and slick with sweat. His breath came in ragged gasps, hot and heavy against her ear.
"You're so fucking tight, Lumine," Ajax growled, his voice low and guttural. "Your cunt is squeezing my cock like a fucking vice. I can't fucking take it much longer."
Lumine moaned, her body writhing against his. "Take it, Ajax," she pleaded.
"Take what you need from me. I'm yours."
Ajax let out a feral growl, his body trembling with the effort to hold back. "Fuck, Lumine, you're so goddamn perfect," he rasped, his chest heaving against hers. "I can't... I can't hold back much longer."
Lumine could feel it too, the impending explosion that was about to tear them both apart. Her body was on fire, every nerve ending screaming out for release. She wrapped her legs tighter around Ajax's waist, urging him deeper, harder.
"Then don't, Ajax," she whispered, her voice laced with desperation. "Don't hold back. I want it all. I want every fucking inch of you."
Ajax's eyes flashed, a wild, untamed gleam taking over. He yanked her legs higher, forcing her thighs wider, opening her up completely to him. He growled, a primal, animalistic sound that made Lumine's stomach clench with anticipation.
"You want it all, Lumine?" he rasped, his voice a harsh, gravelly whisper.
"You're fucking mine, Lumine. Every last inch of you."
Lumine nodded, her breath coming in short, desperate gasps. I'm yours. All yours."
Ajax's eyes darkened with lust, and he began to move again, his thrusts slow and deliberate at first, each one a torturous slide of his cock in and out of her. He leant down, capturing her mouth in a brutal kiss, his teeth clashing against hers, his tongue invading her mouth.
He was a man possessed, and she was his prey.
Lumine could feel it in the way he moved, the way he touched her, the way he claimed her. She was his, completely and utterly. He owned her, body and soul, and she reveled in it.
Ajax's hands gripped her hips tighter, his fingers digging into her soft flesh, leaving bruises that would last for days. Lumine gasped, her back arching at the pain, only to moan at the pleasure that followed. She loved the way he marked her, the way he claimed her. It was raw, primal, and she craved more.
Ajax's cock swelled inside her, his groans becoming more guttural with each thrust. Lumine could feel the pressure building, her body taut and trembling as the waves of pleasure crashed over her.
"Ajax," she gasped, her nails digging into his back, her breath coming in ragged gasps. "I'm... I'm close. Please... please, don't stop."
Ajax's growl was a vibration against her skin, his body slick with sweat. He leaned down, capturing her mouth in a brutal kiss, his teeth clashing against hers, his tongue invading her mouth.
His breath was hot and heavy, and she could taste the raw, primal hunger on his tongue. She met his kiss with equal ferocity, her hands clawing at his back, her nails leaving red welts in their wake.
She could feel his cock swelling inside her, the width and length seeming to expand with each brutal thrust. The pressure was intense, and she couldn't imagine how he was containing himself. But she wanted it all, every last inch of him.
"Fuck, Lumine," Ajax growled, his voice ragged and raw. "Your cunt is squeezing my cock so fucking tight. I can't...
fuck, Lumine, I can't hold back any longer," Ajax groaned, his voice guttural and raw. His body trembled with the effort to hold back, his muscles taut and straining. Lumine felt a thrill of power, knowing she was the one driving him to the edge.
"Don't hold back, Ajax," she whispered, her voice a ragged plea. "I want it all. I want every fucking inch of you. I want you to come inside me, to fill me with your cum.
Every fucking drop."
Ajax's eyes flashed with raw hunger, his control snapping like a twig. He pulled out of her, his cock glistening with her juices, and Lumine whimpered at the loss. But her protest was short-lived as Ajax flipped her around, her front now pressed against the tree.
He grabbed her hips, his hands rough and demanding, and pulled her back until she was on her hands and knees, her ass high in the air. He positioned himself behind her, his cock nudging at her entrance.
He was gentle at first, easing his way back inside her, but Lumine wasn't having it. She pushed back against him, taking him deeper, faster.
"Fuck me, Ajax," she demanded, her voice a desperate plea. "Fuck me hard."
Ajax obliged, his control snapping like a twig. He gripped her hips tighter, his fingers digging into her soft flesh, and began to pound into her with brutal force.
Lumine gasped each time he slammed into her, the force of his thrusts driving her body against the tree trunk. The bark scraped against her nipples, sending jolts of pain and pleasure coursing through her.
"Fuck, Lumine," Ajax growled, his voice thick with lust and exertion. "Your cunt is so goddamn perfect. So fucking tight and wet. I could fuck you forever and it wouldn't be enough."
He leaned over her, his body covering hers completely, his chest pressing against her back. His arms wrapped around her, his hands cupping her breasts, his fingers pinching her nipples.
Lumine cried out, the pain mingling with pleasure and sending electric shocks straight to her core.
"You like that, don't you, slut?" Ajax growled in her ear, his voice laced with dark desire.
Lumine nodded, her breath coming in ragged gasps. "Yes... oh god, yes..."
His cock was a relentless piston, slamming into her with brutal force, each thrust driving her further into the tree. The rough bark bit into her nipples, the pain a sharp contrast to the pleasure that coursed through her veins.
