80 Priestess of the Red Phoenix (1/2)
TILLY WOKE up when she felt Kiho's body shake.
She opened her eyes and found Kiho on the other side of the bed with his back turned on her. He was crouching, his body shivering probably from the cold. He was wearing a shirt but obviously, that wasn't enough to keep him warm. And instead of wrapping himself in the thick blanket, he let her monopolize it instead.
Ah, right. It's already winter.
She remembered that Kiho wasn't good at handling the cold during winter. His body was already cold and so during this season, he would feel even colder. And thus, the shaking.
My poor baby.
She scooted next to him and wrapped her arms around his waist while making her body warmer than usual. Yes, she served as a human heater for him but she didn't mind. A few moments later, Kiho's body finally stopped from shivering.
”Tilly?”
”Yeah?”
”Thank you for keeping me warm,” Kiho said softly. ”I appreciate it.”
”You��re welcome,” she said. ”You didn't have to scoot away from me, hon.”
”I didn't want to wake you up with my shivering.”
Gosh, he was always this selfless and thoughtful when it came to her. He would rather endure than inconvenience her.
”I don't mind,” she told him. ”Also, I won't mind if you snagged the blanket from me. I don't feel cold even if it's winter.”
”Just because you don't feel cold doesn't mean you won't get sick from it,” he scolded her lightly. ”You should always bundle up with warm clothes for yourself and for our baby, Tilly.”
”Okay,” she said with a pout. ”Then, the next time you shiver from cold, just hug me. I'm warm. And I can increase my warmth for you. You can be greedy, you know?”
”I'll remember that,” he said. ”Thank you, honey.”
”Why aren't you turning around to face me, Kiho?” she lightly complained. ”Don't you want to see my just-woke-up face? Do you find me ugly now?���
”You'll always be beautiful to me, Tilly. Even your ”just-woke-up face” is enough to leave me breathless,” Kiho said in a sincere tone. ”But I'm enjoying the feel of your breasts pressed nicely against my back.”
Tilly's cheeks burned, then she laughed heartily. ”Kiho, you pervert!”
She said that, but her hand reached down to cup his erection.
He groaned, his manhood getting rock-hard now.
”Touch me,” he said under his breath. ”Please touch me, Tilly.”
Instead of answering verbally, she just slid her hand inside his trousers. When her fingers found his cock, he inhaled sharply. She teasingly slid her hand up and down his length.
Pleasuring him turned her on as well. Her nipples strained against the thin fabric of her nightgown. Using her other hand, she pulled down her neckline until her nipples were directly touching his wide expanse of back.
She loved the tingling sensation it caused her.
Moaning, she rubbed her breasts against his warm and solid back as she pumped his cock faster. Gosh, she almost came when her nipples brushed against the tight muscles of his back.
”Tilly,” Kiho whispered, his breath uneven. ”I'm close…”
As a response, she licked his shoulder blade.
That seemed to ”end” him.
His cock spasmed in her hand and then, her skin felt the warm liquid coming out of him. And his release took longer than usual.
Wow, it's a lot this time.
Kiho finally turned around to face her. Then, he leaned down to give her a deep, passionate, and long good morning kiss.
Good morning, too, honey.
And her morning got even better when his kiss started to trail down her neck, collarbone, breasts, navel…
… and even further.
Just like that, Kiho's head was now placed comfortably between her legs.
Hot.
Kiho, without breaking eye contact with her, kissed her inner thigh.
Gosh!
Tilly grabbed the bed sheet under, bracing herself for the pleasure that her husband could and would definitely give her.
What a way to start the day right.

”DO YOU usually wake up this late?”
Tilly almost spilled her tea literally because of Luna's question.
In the corner of her eyes, she could see Kiho blushing.
Gosh, what a question.
As embarrassing as it was, they let Luna, their valued guest, to have breakfast by herself instead of joining her because they ”woke up” late.
Lies.
They woke up early but their uh, ”intimate activities” ended a little bit too late. They finished taking a bath together around ten in the morning.
”Wait, don't answer my question,” Luna said while looking at her and Kiho from side to side. It was obvious that the witch noticed their reddening cheeks. ”I don't want to throw up the breakfast I just had.”
Tilly almost laughed at that.
Anyway, right now, they were in the tea room. The garden was being renovated so instead of having tea outside, she decided to use that room instead. They shared a round table. Aside from tea, a variety of snacks and pastries were also prepared.
Kiho cleared his throat and when Tilly and Luna turned to him, only then did he speak. ”Miss Luna, do you have a spell that will somehow protect Tilly while she's in the temple? Unfortunately, she's not allowed to bring her own servants and knights while fulfilling her duties as the Beast Priestess. I can't also visit her during the three days that she'd be serving in the church. I want to make sure that she'd be capable of protecting herself.”
Last night, she told Kiho that Luna already know who and what she was.
Her husband wasn't really comfortable with the idea that another person knew her real identity. But she managed to convince him that they could trust Luna.
”You don't have to worry too much, Your Grace,” Luna said to Kiho. ”Lady Nystrom wouldn't get hurt in the temple. After all, she is the heart of the Red Phoenix.”
”What do you mean by that, Miss Luna?” Kiho asked. ”Why is the heart of the Red Phoenix safe in the temple?”
”Kids these days don't know that the temple was built in honor of the Four Beast Gods,” Luna said.
””Beast Gods?”” Tilly asked curiously. ”You mean the Four Ancient Beasts?”
”That's what they are called now,” the witch said in a bitter voice. ”But until a century ago, they are known and feared as the Beast Gods. They aren't just living weapons for the Moonchesters– they are gods, you know?”
She let out a soft gasp. ”That's so cool.”
”Tilly, you're really amazing,” Kiho said in a cheerful voice. When she turned to him, she saw that his yellowish eyes were glowing as if he was so proud of her. ”You have the heart of a god. Your existence is really special.”
”You're more special, dummy,” Luna whispered to no one before she sipped her tea.
”What was that?” Tilly asked Luna curiously. ”Sorry, I didn't catch what you said, Miss Luna.”
”I said there's a special room in the temple,” the witch said, then put down her cup on the table. ”Lady Nystrom, when you get to the temple, I want you to find the room for the Red Phoenix. Unlike the room for the Blue Dragon, Golden Tiger, and Black Serpent, the room for the Red Phoenix is hidden and locked. I've been there once but as far as I know, they change the location of the room every year.”
