Netori: Stealing The Hero's Party!

Chapter 392 Glutton And Jealousy

Late in the afternoon, Raven and the monster girls finally arrived at the farmhouse. Greeted promptly by the illusionary guards that resembled Raven and the rest of the main original group, they had to leave the carriage at the end of the dirty path and wait for Rose herself to get them since the clones wouldn't let the group pass without a fight.

Thankfully, the owner of the farm was hard at work with her son in the field and it only took a few minutes for Rose and Amedith to notice the group standing at the edge of the farm and calling out for Rose.

With welcome arms, Rose hugged Raven and the girls, even though her complaints about not being informed of their arrival beforehand were unrelenting.

"If you'd told me you're coming we'd have a nice warm meal and a warm bath already prepared for you!" She yelped, leering at Raven.

Stepping a few steps back, she stood beside Amedith, her hands on her hips and her eyes glanced across the tired faces. Her son had a similar expression as the guest, not because he was tired but due to his mother being uncomfortably touchy with everyone in front of him, especially Raven.

"Well, it's done now," clapping her hands, Rose jumped around with a pep in her step and the sight of her butt bouncing like thick jelly flashed before everyone's eyes. Leading the group forward in a sweaty sundress, the gyrating motion of her ass had Raven's as well as the girl's eyes fixed on Rose's hips.

Like a Gazelle her hips swayed with rhythm, the pendulum motion of her body enough to hypnotize the best of wizards and illusionists. The sweat on her body making her clothes stick to her skin and even turning it near transparent, further intensified the trance all the way up until the party was already inside Rose's house.

Once inside, Amedith walked away from the group to do something else, and in the meantime, just sensing the presence of the monster girls and Raven, Melicia came rushing towards the door. Liliyana too wanted to greet them, but her inkling for emotions being much stronger, she felt Amedith's awkwardness about the situation and decided to stick with him instead.

"What are you guys doing here!" Although confused, Mel quickly rushed into Raven's arms and hugged him like a tall teddy bear.

Squeezing him for a moment, she took a long whiff of his comforting smell before letting him go and turning to the rest. Placing her hands on her hips, she glanced around at the tired faces, especially on Brenna and Aerin, both of whom still appeared a bit sleepy.

"I'm sorry about how long this is taking..." Raven whispered as he came to a stop.

Turning to face her, he was met with a confused look. Mel knew what he meant and what he was referring to, but an apology wasn't something she was expecting him to make for a choice that she'd made herself.

"What are you talking about? I-I know..." Watching him grab her hands with his own, she looked into his eyes with a drained sigh. "I don't mean to get jealous, but it's been taking so long. And I know that you have to pay attention to them too! Trust me I do! But..."

Sealing her lips, Mel's gaze dejected to the ground.

'Excuses...' She thought, knowing full well that she was being far too dramatic about something as simple as a bath. But why? Her mind wandered. Why did she feel such a need to be loved? To be seen by the one she adored so dearly? The answer was simple, but she hadn't faced it yet, at least not until now.

"I guess I'm just afraid that you'd leave me..." Looking up again, her eyes tearing up a little, Melicia gulped heavily as her emotions began to well up her throat. "Just like my parents, just like they abandoned me on the doorsteps of that orphanage, I don't want to be abandoned again–not after you've inked your name on my body, I'd be far too heartbroken!"

Like the blood in her veins and the woodland magic in her soul, the tattoos on Melicia's body were a reminder of Raven's love. But one was cursed with the worst of memories, and the thought of the other being plagued with the same? Would shatter her completely.

For once, at a loss for words, Raven hadn't a clue what he should say in such a delicate moment. Lifting her head instead, he looked her in the eyes and squeezed her tight in an embrace.

"The only way I'd ever leave you is if I'm dead." Although it wasn't the best choice of words, Mel snuggled her face into his chest to them. Brushing her head on her man's chest and feeling the beat of his heart against her lips, she felt a moment of calm and responded to him.

"Shut up...We're not gonna die, we're gonna be gods, remember?" She said, even though Melicia didn't believe in those words herself.
