Chapter 124 A Vow of Absolute Surrender Chapter 124 A Vow of Absolute Surrender After reassuring Ardenia, Calder's grip tightened as he gently tugged her toward him. "Well, since you're insisting, I'm hopping on!" she relented. Calder beamed, his face lighting up with pure joy. "Go for it!" 74 +10 Free Coins This was Ardenia's first time riding on someone's back, and she was a little nervous. She was worried she might accidentally hurt him, especially considering his bones had literally been crushed just days ago. "Cross your legs," Calder instructed.

Ardenia complied, settling her weight onto him. Almost immediately, the sound of his rhythmic, heavy breathing filled the air. Despite his recent injuries, his form was rock-solid. He didn't struggle through the push-ups at all. She had expected him to be shaking like a leaf after a few reps, given he was still in recovery. Instead, he hammered out two hundred without even breaking a sweat. Ardenia was genuinely stunned. She wasn't exactly a featherweight. She took pride in her curves and weighed in at a healthy hundred-and-thirty pounds.

As she'd said before, the "waifish" look simply wasn't for her. Even after two hundred reps, Calder showed no signs of stopping. His breathing remained steady, his pace unwavering." Feeling a sudden surge of mischief, Ardenia shifted her position. Instead of sitting, she lay flat against his back, her body pressed to his. She told herself she wasn't just being a creep-she was simply trying to distribute her weight more evenly for his sake. And where exactly were those wandering hands of hers going? Straight for his pectorals, obviously. They were her mates, after all. Why bother being subtle?

"Ardenia..." She was so caught up in the sensation that she didn't notice her touch had caused Calder's voice to drop an octave into a gravelly rasp. His entire body flushed a deep, heated red, and his muscles surged as his excitement spiked. "Don't talk. I've got a good grip." She couldn't help but give his muscles a little squeeze. The sensation was... incredible! Calder looked down at the two small hands roaming over his chest. He turned his head away, looking a bit bashful, but he couldn't help but feel proud-wasn't this exactly his edge over the others? Thump, thump, thump.

He hammered out another three hundred reps. 1/3 : 14:22. Thu, Jan 8 DJI Chapter 124 A Vow of Absolute Surrender 74 +10 Free Coins Ardenia let her fingers trail upward, following the line of his collarbone until her thumb rested right on his Adam's apple. It was like she'd hit a kill switch. Calder froze instantly. Ardenia, still oblivious, gave the spot a little poke. "Ardenia..." His voice was even raspier now. "Hmm?" She let the sound tilt upward playfully. In the next heartbeat, Calder had her pinned beneath him. Wait... was she on the bed? Did Calder know how to teleport too?

She blinked, feeling dazed. Before she could process the sudden change in scenery, she felt a cool hand cup her jaw. Calder hovered over her, his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard. From the intense workout, a thin, glistening sheen of sweat covered his body. He didn't smell bad at all. In fact, as her eyes traced the sweat trailing down his neck, she found the sight incredibly sexy. They were so close now that Ardenia's gaze couldn't help but wander downward. When she realized exactly what was pressing against her leg-something as hard as a branding iron-she gasped and tried to shrink back.

Calder smirked, sensing her sudden shyness. He leaned down, coaxing her in a low, husky whisper. "Don't be scared, Ardenia. I'll be a good boy." Then, he kissed her-a deep, soft, all-consuming kiss. He only let her go after a long, breathless moment. He rolled off the bed and knelt at the foot of it. Just as he had done in the water that day, he cradled Ardenia's feet in his hands. With a gentle smile, he slid off her embroidered shoes. His gaze was intense, fixed on her pale, slender feet and the vibrant red polish on her toes. As he looked at them, his grip tightened ever so slightly.

He wanted to bite, but he held back, pressing only a warm, tender kiss to the tips of her toes, "Among the merfolk, a kiss upon the feet is a vow of absolute surrender," Calder murmured. "You are the only person in this world who has ever truly cared for me, Ardenia. I love you. I don't just want to be your mate-I want to be your most loyal servant. I'll even be.. He paused, shuffling forward on his knees until he was closer to her. "I'll even be your dog." Ardenia was frozen, completely stunned. The change in Calder was... overwhelming. And he wasn't finished.

I'll be your most faithful little dog..." Calder's beautiful face nuzzled against the arch of her foot. He held one foot in his hands while resting the other against the hard, defined muscle of his abdomen. He was trying so desperately to please her. He knew that besides her, no one would ever stay by his side through the night or fight so fiercely to protect him. At the thought, his eyes grew misty.

Scalding tears fell to the floor, crystallizing into shimmering, violet- blue pearls. Legend had it that a merman's tears only turned into pearls when they were moved by true, deep emotion. Who was he to deserve someone like her? Someone who would stand up to that massive black serpent for his sake? Calder had always assumed she was just the same woman he'd always known, perhaps acting under the guidance of the Beast God. But after everything that had happened, he finally understood. She wasn't that woman at all. He remembered the rainy season years ago, just after he'd reached Level 5.

An underwater volcano had erupted, and while trying to save his people, he'd been swept up by the thermal currents and washed ashore on a desolate island in the Eastern Demon Abyss. He'd been thrown into a cage, gasping for air as dehydration set in. Weakened by his injuries, he couldn't fight back. The rogue therian there would rip the scales from his body to trade for crystals. Because of his incredible healing rate, his body would be whole again by the next morning, no matter how much blood he'd lost. It was an endless cycle of torture. 14:23. Thu, Jan 8D J Dylan
