Innocent Devil's Harem | Chapter 11-2: A Romantic Snack

She cleared her throat after a second, going back to her original question. “Well, I think I have something you’ll like me in. I don’t have a ton of hot clothing, but the few things I do have are pretty seductive in my humble opinion.” She paused, her tone playful again. “Kai, what color are you right now?”

I scoffed, trying to resist the urge to find out what she considered to be seductive.

“Umm, I think you know.”

“Gray, white, and gold?” she teased.

“Yep,” I replied. “Now be good, so I can focus on what I’m doing.”

“Oh, alright,” she said with mock disappointment.

I didn’t want to make her wait too long, so once over half of the chocolate was melted, I began dipping fourteen strawberries in, one at a time. The scent of chocolate was already thick in the air, so I knew Gabriella at least had a hint of what was coming. I then took the roses I’d purchased and cut the stems on three of them, so that they were only a few inches long.

I then arranged the fourteen cooling strawberries into a heart-shape on a white plate, placing one of the roses in the center, with the other two going on the sides. It was a lot to fit on one plate, but I was able to make it work.

For the other roses, I grabbed them and carefully plucked all the pedals, lying some on the table and some on the floor in the short hallway, making her a figurative trail of roses to follow. Once I had everything set up, I looked it all over, before deciding it was good.

Grabbing the boxed ring from the bag I’d put on the couch, I opened it to take a peek, and then held it behind my back.

“Okay, ready!”

My heart was racing again as I heard her get up from the edge of the bed.

Gabriella eagerly stepped out of her bedroom to find me waiting, dressed in a sky-blue silk nightie, with black lacing around the edges. Which did little to hide her overflowing chest. Thin straps were all that covered her shoulders, and the material was some of the shiniest I’d ever seen. An elastic band was sown into the fabric, keeping the silk tight underneath her chest, allowing it to show off just how skinny she was.

The whole thing barely did anything to hide her long legs.

My thoughts instantly scattered, my breath caught in my chest at the sight of her, my heart racing, pounding in my throat.

The first thing she noticed was the flower pedals on the floor, but she stayed were she was, allowing me to get over my obvious shock.

“Do you like it?” she asked with surprising timidity, her cheeks rosy.

All I could do was nod like an idiot. Speaking didn’t feel like an option at the moment.

However, after a few seconds, I managed a response with a small laugh. “You almost made me forget that I’m supposed to be the one surprising you, not the other way around.”

She grinned. “Hmm, maybe I should have worn a robe and surprised you afterward.”

“Too late now!” I retorted playfully, squaring my shoulders, the ring still behind my back. “Are you ready to see what I have for you?”

“Yes! It smells amazing!”

She dashed across the short distance and gasped when she saw the strawberries and roses on the table, only to move like she was about to jump on me in her excitement.

I quickly held up a finger to stop her, getting down on one knee.

She immediately clasped her hands in front of her chest, barely seeming to contain her excitement.

I tried to keep my gaze on her emerald eyes as I looked up at her, pulling the ring box forward to reveal the one she’d reacted the strongest to in the store.

Her green eyes immediately widened, a small gasp escaping her full lips.

“Gabriella, will you marry me and be mine forever?”

“Absolutely yes!” she squealed excitedly, rushing forward to jump on me.

I could have probably remained upright, but didn’t want her to get hurt, so I instead allowed her momentum to roll me backwards, resulting in her lying on top of me on the floor.

“I still need to put it on your finger, silly!” I teased.

“Oh! Sorry!” She gave me an apologetic pout, pushing up a little and holding out her left hand between us.

I carefully pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it on, unsurprised that it was a perfect fit. She gazed at it for a few seconds, twisting her hand slightly to catch the light.

“Oh, Kai,” she whispered with sudden desire in her voice. “I love it so much!” Without hesitation, she leaned on me more fully as she grabbed my face in her hands, planting a passionate kiss on my lips.

She then pulled away to grab a strawberry and take a bite, before offering it to me to take a bite as well. I grinned at her, kind of wishing we didn't have the potential succubus issue to worry about, but more than content to enjoy this simple moment with her.

She finally spoke up again after eating her second strawberry.

“Kai,” she whispered. “I am so in love with you.”

“I love you too, Gabriella,” I replied sincerely, feeling like it was the most I’d ever meant it in the most literal sense possible. “And now you’re mine,” I added with a grin. “Forever.”

“Forever,” she agreed with a smirk of her own.
