NOVEL NEXT chapter 314 - "I Love You..."
After Taufik and the others finished sharing their stories, it was already quite dark.
"... Okay, Dear... We'll go see the babies, you two stay here..."
Jenn said while looking at Tina and Taufik with a teasing smile. Then said.
"... Enjoy your time"
"Husband, Good luck; this woman is crazy; since you left, every night we can hear her doing that thing alone in her room... You better be prepared because what you're going to face is a Monster, Ahahaha~"
"Fik, I pray that you are safe"
Said Jenn, Rani, and Kaela in turns, while Anugerah could only look at Taufik with a pitiful expression and then followed the others to leave the room and go see her baby.
"Huh! W-Wait!!"
Said Taufik, who tried to stop Jenn and the others from leaving, but it was too late because the door to the room had been closed with a *Click*
"... Master~"
Call Tina in a Seductive way.
*Glup*
Taufik could only swallow his saliva and then slowly turned his head towards Tina.
"... Ti-Tina, let's Talk first... I-I'm too tired right now; I don't think I can Satisfy you t-that much right now... S-So let's d-"
Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire
"Wait and Keep Waiting~... How long do you think I've been waiting for this day, Master? So long... I've only been able to satisfy myself by touching myself... And now that this chance has come, do you think I'll let it slip away? Hehe~ Of course not~"
Said Tina who slowly took off her clothes in front of Taufik.
Tina's perfect body shape was visible, her red hair flowing down her back, and her red eyes glowing as if she was looking at her prey.
"It's time to fulfill your promise, Master... Too tired? Don't worry, because I'll be the one to move~ You can just lie still and let me do the rest~"
Said Tina who slowly climbed onto the bed with her naked body, approaching Taufik while licking her lips.
Tina slowly approached, and when she was on top of Taufik, Tina smiled very seductively.
"Master~ Tonight, You are mine alone~... I love you~"
"Tin-"
Before he could say anything, Tina immediately locked Taufik's lips with hers, stopping Taufik from saying anything further.
Taufik's body tensed as Tina deepened the kiss, her warmth pressing against him. His mind raced, part of him was overwhelmed by the sudden intensity, another part recalling all the moments that had led to this.
He had known how much Tina longed for this, how much she had endured while she was waiting.
Slowly, Taufik exhaled, his hands resting gently on her arms as he pulled back slightly, looking into her glowing red eyes.
"Tina… I know you've been waiting for this moment"
Taufik said softly, his voice carrying both understanding and hesitation.
"And I won't deny my feelings for you. But before anything else… I want to hear from you. Not just desire... Tell me what you truly feel?"
Tina blinked, her seductive smile faltering for just a second before softening into something more vulnerable. She bit her lip, then let out a small, breathy laugh.
"Master... You already know, don't you?"
"Maybe..."
Taufik admitted, brushing a strand of Tina's red hair behind her ear. Then said
"... But I still want to hear it"
Tina's red eyes shimmered as she gazed at her Master, and for a moment, Tina remembered all the moments she had with Taufik, starting from when they first met, which was the turning point in her life, which made her the Tina she is today, not a woman disguised as an emperor, not the queen of vampires, she was simply Tina, the woman who had waited, longed, and held onto her love for this Man, the man who saved her, the man who gave her life, the man who gave her a choice, her Master, and the man she loved more than anything else.
Tina's eyes filled with tears, and in that state, she whispered, with her voice shaking slightly
"... I love you, Taufik... Not just for who you are, not just because I desire you... I love you... All of you... As my savior, as my Master, and as a Man... I love you... I keep waiting with a tortured heart to see you with Sis Jenn and the others, I keep waiting with envy towards Sis Jenn and the others, I keep waiting with the hope of having a meaning other than what I am now to you, even at this moment, my heart keeps screaming your name, hoping to be completely yours..."
Taufik felt his heart tighten at Tina's words. The depth of her emotions, the longing she had carried for so long, weighed heavily on him.
She had always been strong, always by his side when he needed her, but now, she was vulnerable, exposing her soul to him.
Taufik cupped Tina's cheek gently, his thumb brushing away the tear that threatened to fall.
"Tina…"
Taufik called in a whispered voice. Then continue.
"... You were never just someone to me, Tina... I might not have said it enough… but I've always seen you. Not as my subordinate. Not as The Red Queen... But as who you are... The woman who always stood by my side, the woman who fought for me, the woman who... I also care about, deeply"
Tina's breath stopped for a moment, her red eyes locked on Taufik, desperate for the sincerity she longed to find.
"... I won't deny that things have been complicated... And I know… I should've said this sooner... But I don't want you to feel like you have to fight for a place in my heart, because you've always had it"
Hearing that, Tina gasped softly, her fingers clutching at his shirt as if afraid to let go; then, with a voice that was half laughing and half crying, Tina said.
"Then… Master, can I really be selfish tonight? Can I finally call you mine?"
Taufik smiled softly, with a giggle coming out of his mouth, and then pressed his forehead against hers. Then said.
"... You don't have to ask, Tina. You already are"
A brilliant smile bloomed on Tina's face before she pulled him into another deep kiss, this time filled with more than just desire, it's filled with love, emotion, and everything she had been holding back for so long.
And for that night, under the soft glow of the moon, Tina finally had what she had waiting for. Not just the passion, not just the physical closeness, but the love she had longed to call her own.
# A/N - "What Are You Waiting For? There's nothing here (:D)"
--------
- Next day.
Taufik stirred as the sunlight filtered through the curtains, he felt something above him, and as his eyes opened, he saw Tina nestled against his chest, her red hair spilling all over him. She was still asleep, her expression peaceful, and her fingers clutching onto him as if afraid he would disappear.
A soft smile formed on Taufik's lips as he gently brushed a strand of hair from Tina's face. Last night had been more than he ever expected.
After the last night, Taufik felt a burden that had been stuck in his heart for a long time disappear, but when everything was finally resolved, Taufik finally felt relieved.
'... Now there's only the matter of Gaia... I have to finish the other things quickly before going to the underworld... Ahh~ Name, I also have to think about my child's name... There are too many things to do but I only have a little time *Sigh* What a drag~ System?'
[Yes Master]
'... Login'
[DING]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a DEMI-GOD-LEVEL reward: Time Manipulation Skill (Active)]
[The Skill able to slow down, accelerate, stop, and rewind time, with this skill Users can stop time while being unaffected themselves and also allow whatever they want including objects and beings to be unaffected as well]
'... Hmm? So that's how this thing works? So Desire is the answer, is that what you mean, Will?'
Ask Taufik, and of course, he didn't get an answer; he didn't seem too impressed with the reward he received because he could stop time with just his Imagination Magic, but a reward is a reward, and no one will refuse a reward especially if it is free, so Taufik will be happy to accept it.
'... Okay, let's do what we can for now... '
Said Taufik, then lifted Tina gently.
"... Mmm~"
Tina groaned softly as Taufik moved Tina, who was sleeping on top of him, to the bed next to him, but not to the point of waking Tina up.
Seeing Tina like this, Taufik smiled softly again and then put the blanket to cover her body; Taufik then kissed Tina's forehead, which made Tina moan softly again before Taufik stood up to get dressed.
But just as he finished putting on his pants, a knock on the door was heard, accompanied by the voice of a maid.
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
"... Your Highness, The Queen, and the others are waiting for you in the dining room"
"Yeah~ Give me time to get dressed"
"... Do you need any help, Your Highness?"
"... No? I can do it by myself, you can go now, tell them that I'll be there in minutes"
"... Understood, Your Highness"
Said the maid in a slightly disappointed tone.
'... What the hell? What are you disappointed for?'
Taufik asked inwardly, which he then immediately ignored and continued to put clothes on his body.
