Demonic Dragon: Harem System - Chapter 724

Chapter 724: Like a Honeymoon (R-18)
The night in Mercedes’ palace was as silent as buried ice—except for the room where Scarlet and Strax met. There, silence didn’t last long. It was always replaced by sighs, laughter, teasing, gasps… and, eventually, moans that probably pierced ice walls like water.

Now, however, everything was at a slower pace.

More intimate.

The fireplace crackled softly, releasing flames that danced lazily, reflecting on his golden skin and the deep red of her hair. Scarlet sat on Strax’s lap, sideways, one leg over his and the other resting on the bed, as if it were natural to occupy this space as her personal throne.

And it was.

His arms encircled her waist with that tranquil possession, the kind that doesn’t constrict, doesn’t suffocate—it simply exists. It simply is.

Strax’s hair was still a little messy from the previous night, and Scarlet, well… Scarlet seemed very proud of it.

She was wearing a short, wine-colored silk nightgown that clung dangerously to her body when she moved. He wore only light trousers, his torso exposed, warm, pressed against her.

The air was heavy—not with sexual tension, but with post-battle intimacy. That calm that only exists between two people who know each other’s bodies, souls, and quirks.

Scarlet absentmindedly played with his hair as she spoke. He listened with that crooked smile that always appeared when she made sharp comments.

“So,” Scarlet began, tugging at a strand of his hair between her fingers, “I think I traumatized Monarch.”

Strax blinked slowly, a smile creeping up. “Oh? You traumatize people very easily. Who was the victim this time?”

“Mercedes.”

He laughed, a deep, lazy sound that vibrated in her chest. “Of course it was.”

Scarlet rolled her eyes dramatically.

“No, Strax, you don’t understand. The poor woman looked like she hadn’t slept in three days. Her eyes were… my love, they looked like someone had rubbed charcoal on her eyelids.”

Strax raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.

“She was like that because…?”

Scarlet leaned in a little more, resting her forehead on his shoulder for a moment, as if she were tired just remembering.

“Because you decided to make Monarch listen to us all night.”

He opened his mouth, offended—but only theatrically.

“I decided? Oh, listen. I just kept up with your pace, Scarlet. You’re the one who—”

She put a finger to his lips, without looking up.

“Shh. I’m not taking any blame.”

Strax gently bit her finger—a loving threat.

“You’re definitely guilty.”

“Never.”

“Scarlet, you almost melted the ceiling.”

“Exaggeration,” she murmured, but her smile betrayed that she didn’t entirely disagree.

He pulled her a little closer, adjusting her position as one holds something precious without fanfare, and rested his chin on the curve of her shoulder.

“So Mercedes heard everything?”

Scarlet let out a dramatic sigh.

“EVERYTHING. Every detail.”

He laughed again, genuinely amused.

“Poor woman.”

“Poor nothing.” Scarlet lightly patted his chest. “She was… strange.”

Strax raised his head.

“Strange how?”

Scarlet crossed her legs in a way that the silk rode up dangerously, but she didn’t seem to notice—or noticed too much. “Strange like… red. Scared. Embarrassed. Trembling. And angry with me, which—considering she never talks to me—was even refreshing.”

“Ah. Jealous?”

Scarlet made an indignant sound.

“No. Not of her. She looked like she was envious of the situation.”

Strax slowly raised an eyebrow, that wicked smile appearing.

“Of you?”

“Obviously.”

He tilted his head. “Are you sure?”

Scarlet thumped his chest again.

“Strax, love of my life, prince of indecency… the woman was about to melt with embarrassment. She looked away from me as if I were a walking sin—which, by the way, I am—but with her it seemed personal.”

He thought for a moment, massaging her back slowly, in slow circles.

“She’s sensitive to strong emotions,” he murmured. “People like that… sometimes break down a little when exposed to the intimacy of others.”

Scarlet turned her face to look directly at him.

“Are you saying she got like this because she overheard us?”

“Probably.”

Scarlet smiled, slowly, dangerously… provocatively to the extreme.

“So we’re too much even when we’re not trying.”

Strax sighed, laughing, resting his forehead against hers.

“You’re too much even when you’re sleeping.”

“I am.”

“And me?” he teased.

She ran her fingernail across his chest, tracing lazy lines that made him shudder.

“You’re the problem I never want to solve.”

He closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.

“That was almost romantic, Scarlet.”

“You never get used to it.”

He laughed.

Scarlet settled more comfortably in his lap, as if there were no more natural position in the world.

Strax’s fingers slowly traced up her spine, and Scarlet shivered all over, but without losing her blasé air.

“Now,” she continued, “let me tell you the best part.”

“There is a best part?”

“Uh-huh.”

She stared at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“I teased her.”

Strax’s eyes widened with the amused surprise of someone who shouldn’t, but loved hearing it.

“What did you say?”

Scarlet puffed out her chest with pride.

“I asked if she wanted you to help with her ‘problem’.”

He squeezed her waist, laughing loudly.

“You didn’t say that.”

“I did.”

“You didn’t say that to the Monarch of the Ice Kingdom.”

“I said yes.”

Strax rested his head on her shoulder and laughed so hard his whole body trembled.

“Scarlet… you’re going to kill the woman.”

“Let her deal with it.”

He raised his head, still laughing.

“And what did she do?”

“She froze. Literally. I thought the ground was going to turn to snow.”

Strax took a deep breath, still with a huge smile.

“You love to tease people, don’t you?”

“Only when I have an audience.”

“And I’m your audience?”

“You’re my whole stage.”

She kissed the corner of his mouth with that seductive calm that only she possessed.

“By the way…” Scarlet murmured, playfully touching the collar of his pants, “…you know this trip is practically our honeymoon, right?”

Strax looked at her with unusual gentleness.

“I know.”

“Because with your gigantic harem”—she rolled her eyes, but there was affection there—”it’s hard to have you all to myself.”

“You always have me,” he replied, pulling her chin closer. “Even when I’m not here.”

Scarlet was quiet for a moment, as if something inside her melted.

Then she smiled.

That smile.

“And now I have all of you.”

“You do.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured against his lips:

“I like it when you’re all mine.”

He smiled against her mouth.

“I always have been.”

She pulled him closer, filling the space that was never empty, but always felt the need to be filled.

He had a way of making everything seem sensual without even trying. The way those lips curved, the way he rested his chin on her shoulder… Scarlet always felt as if she were being touched even without any touch. And that was just with words. She couldn’t even imagine what he would be capable of doing with his hands, his mouth… all his skill.

“And I am yours,” she murmured against his skin, feeling a familiar shiver. “In every possible way. At that moment, time seemed to stop. Strax’s eyes gleamed with a desire mixed with something deeper, something Scarlet had never seen before. Something that made her heart race and her body tremble.

Then he pulled her closer, one arm sliding to her waist while his other hand moved to cup her face. His thumb traced Scarlet’s parted lips, leaving her breathless with the softness of his touch. There was something possessive in the way he held her, but also tender, almost reverent.

They stayed like that for a moment, just looking at each other. Strax’s dark eyes seemed to pierce her soul, as she drowned in those depths she could lose herself in. It was so intense she could almost taste him on her tongue.

Then, without warning, he kissed her. And it wasn’t a gentle or chaste kiss. It was intense, full of passion and desire. His mouth claimed hers with a ferocity that made her gasp.” In surprise and pleasure. He nibbled at her lower lip before running his tongue along it, asking for entry. She yielded instantly, never wanting to deny him anything.

His lips moved against hers in a lazy rhythm that drove her wild. His tongue danced with hers, exploring every inch of her mouth. It was as if he were trying to savor her, to memorize her. And she couldn’t think of anything but his taste, the sensation of his stubble brushing against her soft skin.

She gripped his shoulders, needing something to hold onto as the world spun around them. She could feel the heat radiating from him, so hot it felt like it was melting her insides. Her blood began to boil, desire starting to take over.

His hands slid down her back, squeezing her buttocks and pulling her closer. She could feel the evidence of his desire against her hip, making it swell and throb. She wanted to feel every part of him against her.

The kiss deepened even further, becoming wild and unrestrained. They bit and sucked, fighting for dominance. But it was a losing battle because they both wanted the same thing: to lose themselves in each other until nothing remained but pleasure.

Strax nibbled at her neck, leaving a trail of bites and hickeys. She gasped when he reached a particularly sensitive spot, her whole body trembling. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she arched against him, seeking more of that delicious friction.

He continued down, his lips and teeth exploring every inch of exposed skin. His tongue traced a path to the neckline of her nightgown, sending sparks through her body. He reached the edge of the silk and hesitated for a moment, his eyes meeting hers. There was a silent question there, a plea for permission.

Scarlet wasted no time in answering. She gripped the nightgown and pulled it down until her breasts were free. They sprang out, the tips of her nipples hard and begging for attention. She held his gaze as she placed her hands behind her back and undid the lace, letting the nightgown fall to the floor.

Strax swallowed hard, his eyes widening at the sight of her completely exposed before him. She saw the raw desire in them, the way he struggled not to touch her immediately. It made her feel powerful, sexy. She wanted to be devoured by him.

“You’re beautiful,” he murmured in a husky voice. “Perfect.”

He raised a hesitant hand and traced the curve of one breast, the touch so light it was almost a tease. She gasped, feeling the heat spread throughout her body. He circled the hard nipple with a finger before pinching it lightly, sending a wave of pleasure-pulls through her.

“Please,” she whispered breathlessly. “I need you.”

His response was a cloud of warm air over her skin before he took one nipple into his mouth. He sucked and teased it, his teeth grazing the sensitive tip. She cried out in pleasure, her hands flying to his hair and holding him close. He seemed determined to drive her wild with that gifted mouth.

While he played with one nipple, his other hand caressed the other breast, squeezing and pinching until she was gasping and begging for more. She was soaked now, the liquid heat between her thighs probably soaking his pants. There was absolutely no coherent thought in her head, only a primal desire that only he could satisfy.

“I’m going to taste you all,” he murmured against her skin, lightly biting her nipple before pulling away. “I’m going to explore every inch of you until you’re begging for me.”

He reached for the waistband of her pants and began to unbutton them. The anticipation almost killed her, her whole body trembling with expectation. She lifted her hips to help remove her pants, wanting to feel him fully against her.

Strax helped push them down, freeing his thick, throbbing member. It was hard as steel and glistening at the tip. The sight made her mouth water, and she longed to taste it. But first…

He slowly spread her legs, his dark eyes filled with desire as he watched her lie exposed and at his mercy. There was a reverence to it, as if he would never tire of the sight of her. It made her feel sexier than ever.

Then he plunged between her legs, and the first touch of his hot tongue against her clitoris made her scream in ecstasy. He licked and sucked mercilessly, seemingly determined to push her to the limit with just his gifted mouth.

His hands gripped her thighs to keep her open for him as he continued his relentless assault on her throbbing center. She gripped the sheets tightly enough to tear the bedding as waves of pleasure coursed through her body.

It was too fast, too intense to control. She was coming, her body beginning to tremble uncontrollably with the force of the sensation. Her scream echoed through the room as she came forcefully, liquid flames exploding at her center and radiating throughout her body.

But Strax didn’t stop. He continued licking and sucking, prolonging her orgasm until she was completely helpless beneath him. She pushed her head away, laughing weakly as she tried to catch her breath.

“Please,” she whispered, looking at him through her eyelashes. “I need you inside me.”

There was a challenge in his eyes as he rose above her, his member throbbing as it rubbed against her wet lips. “Are you sure?”

Instead of answering, she wrapped her arms around his neck and used all her strength to reverse their positions, leaving him on his back against the mattress and her straddling his hips. He let out a surprised grunt, but made no move to resist.

Scarlet smiled triumphantly before reaching between them and guiding his member inside her with torturous slowness. They both groaned as she finally took him completely inside her, the sensation of fullness almost too much to bear.

She began to move on top of him in a lazy rhythm that soon became more frantic as desire took hold of them again. Their hips swayed and spun in an ancient dance as they moved together in perfect harmony.

Strax slid his hands down the sides of her body before gripping her waist, his fingers sinking into her soft flesh as he guided her to the rhythm he wanted. Each thrust was a delight of sensations, his thick member touching places inside her she didn’t even know existed.

Elsewhere…

“No… not again!!” Mercedes shouted.
