By the time the massage was over and the effect of the wine had started setting in, the entire group was in their own head doing different things. Erika, who nobody could've expected, was busy downing one bottle after the other. Eating away deliciously roasted and braised meat from a platter, she was fawning over every bit of its flavor swimming in her mouth.
Aria on the other hand, stripped naked by the Duchess–a tall woman with long dark hair and a full leather outfit with a whip in her hand, was marking Aria's entire body with lashes. Sticking in vibrators in both of her holes, she had the girl squirting nonstop on the bed. Which in turn only made the other girls tease her more with the bed-wetter nickname.
As for Melicia, she was just huddled up in a corner drinking away her sorrows. No longer bothered by what was happening, she tried to forget about what happened before coming here, but it didn't prove that easy.
'It's all because of him…' Glancing over at Raven enjoying a meal which was grilled over a naked girl's ass who was proficient in fire magic, Mel wanted to hate him, but somewhere deep down she knew he wasn't one to be blamed. 'Why did I do that with him?'
Not even wanting to think back to her lips gliding down Raven's cock, she wished she could shrink into nothing and disappear into nowhere. The more she thought about the matter, the more insecure she felt, not just in her relationship but also as a person. Drinking more and more, she tried to forget it all, but it wasn't until a working girl sat down beside her that she could get it out of her head.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Is something wrong?" Asked the fair elf sitting beside Mel.
"Nothing…" She responded, not wanting to air her dirty laundry to a prostitute.
"Aftercare is part of my job you know, and sometimes when guys are done, they have that same look of regret in their eyes as yours," her assumption being right on the money, slightly soothed Mel's heart.
Even so, taking yet another deep sip of the wine, Mel didn't want to say anything, until she saw the girl nod and was about to get up.
"I cheated on my partner," she told her, and the girl quickly sat back down with a smile.
"Why?" Asked the girl, her intentions seemed pure.
"Cause I…" Glancing over to Raven again, she took a deep gulp. "I like manly guys, and manly features in my man like–"
Feeling a hand on her shoulder, Mel turned back to face the girl. Leaning closer to the archer, she whispered into her ears.
"You wouldn't be the first woman to want that, plenty of wives, girlfriends, and fiances come here for a better dick to bounce on," leaning back with a smile, the girl pulled her hand off of Mel and added. "And guess what? It makes them happy so what's wrong with being better, more muscular, and…ahaha, with someone with a bigger cock."
Getting up smiling, the girl nodded at Mel as if telling her to follow her heart. But even after she walked away the elf wasn't yet convinced to do something like that. Thus, after downing enough alcohol to drown her organs, Mel stumbled her way up to Raven and sat down beside him to talk.
"You okay?" Raven asked, a bit concerned by her drunken look.
Shoo'ing off the working girls, even those teasing Aria, he turned to Mel, and so did the others. Reaching for her shoulder, he lifted her face to get a better look at her from behind her ruffled birdnest of a hairstyle.
"Oi, are you even listening to me?" He asked, and she finally responded.
"C-can…I-I-I a-ask you som-thing?" Speaking with drunken hics, her words barely made any sense.
"What?" Raven pursued, frowning with confusion.
Taking a brief pause to collect herself and even push her hair back, Mel looked into Raven's eyes and finally asked the question.
"L-love…c-can it change? Ca-can you ch-ange who you love if the person you currently do isn't who you thought he was, or if th-they si-mply can't be that person you've always dreamt your partner to be? Is it wrong, if I want more than I'm getting?! For me to desire to feel loved with more than just words! Through intimacy and kind gestures, maybe even a little bit of the crazy!"
Pouring her heart into her every word for once, Mel managed to silence the entire room. Not even Raven knew how to proceed or what to even reply to her with, however, that silence didn't last long, as growing tired of waiting and lying to herself, Mel moved her hand around Raven and pushed their lips into the most passionate kiss.
A gasp left every lip inside that room, and Raven needless to say was a bit surprised as well. But with her tongue coiling around his own, it didn't take long for him to lean in and give her exactly what she desired. But before any of that happened, he pulled away from her lips and while looking right into her eyes he demanded.
"You'd be mine and mine alone if we continue, I don't like sharing," through shaky eyes, she kept gazing into his eyes and nodded.
"I'm yours and yours alone," squeezing her hands around his body, Mel pulled Raven into a hug. "Claim me and mark me if you need just like you did to that slutty queen."
'Uhmm…Is this really happening?' Watching it all unfold, Aira was beyond baffled.
The priestess on the other hand, drunk on booze, and unshackled from her restraints by Asmodia, wanted nothing more than to watch as her words about Mel choosing Raven over Amedith were about to come true.
'Perhaps I'll join the lovebirds, it's no fun being a virgin with these massive tits ahaha!' And with those thoughts, the night where Raven would claim every girl who either belonged to Amedith or were his friends was about to begin.
