Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

"Fine, we can give it a try." Scarlet said as she fished out three spirit stones from her ring and handed two of them to Cecil and Asher.

The trio approached the edge of the fountain, where they found a vacant spot available for them to use.

Once they were all standing next to each other, Scarlet and Cecil took a deep breath, and on Asher's signal, they threw their stones into the water while closing their eyes and silently wishing for something in their hearts.

After he finished praying, Asher opened his eyes and looked at them with a smile on his lips. "Well, what did you two wish for?" He inquired with curiosity.

"Haha, it's a secret!" Scarlet replied with a mischievous smile.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" He persisted.

"Nope! You'll just have to wait and see if it comes true or not."

Asher raised his brows and smirked. "Hmmm... are you going to tell me, or should I force it out of you? You know, I can be very persuasive." He threatened, with a hint of playfulness in his voice, as he stepped closer to the redhead.

Scarlet took a step back, her smile widening as she dodged his advance. "Oh? You think you can intimidate me? How would you do that when you can't even catch me, Asher? Come on, let's see how fast you are!" She challenged, and in a flash, she disappeared from view, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

Asher was stunned for a moment before he realized that she had activated her movement technique.

With an amused expression on his face, he shook his head and chased after her, chasing the girl through the park while attracting the attention of many onlookers.

The scene caused quite a commotion within the park, as many people stopped their activities and stared at the duo with fascination as the handsome young man and beautiful young woman darted back and forth around the area like a pair of sparrows flying about in a flock.

Their movements were quick and graceful, as they moved past various obstacles without missing a beat, always remaining inches away from one another as if engaged in a passionate dance.

Looking at the two, Cecil couldn't help but shake her head and sigh to herself. She knew that Asher could easily capture Scarlet if he really wanted to, but she also understood why he hadn't done so.

While pursuing his companion, he also enjoyed playing around with her, allowing the fiery girl to live out her whimsical desires by teasing him with her mischievous nature.

That didn't mean he'd allow her to get away with it. He was planning to punish her later, when the opportunity presented itself.

As such thoughts went through Asher's mind, he saw that Cecil was standing not too far off from where he was, staring at him with her arms folded across her chest.

He grinned and dashed towards her before scooping her into his arms and carrying her around while chasing after Scarlet.

Cecil yelped in surprise, caught off guard by his sudden action. "What are you doing, Asher?! Put me down this instant! People are watching us!" She scolded him as she struggled against his grip. However, her struggles proved futile, as he refused to let her go.

Instead, he held her tightly and continued running after the elusive Scarlet.

Cecil felt embarrassed beyond belief as she was being carried in princess style by Asher while he ran at high speeds in a crowded park with hundreds of onlookers staring at them with wide eyes and gaping mouths.

She couldn't help but bury her face into Asher's chest, not daring to look at anyone, and wrap her arms around his neck to prevent herself from falling off.

Meanwhile, Scarlet was confused when Asher changed his direction for a moment, but soon she saw him approaching her, carrying Cecil in his arms.

Seeing that, she burst out laughing, finding the sight comical and adorable. "Ahahaha, you got caught, Cecil!" She said with mirth, pointing at the dark-haired woman with one finger.

"Shut up!" Cecil growled with flushed cheeks, glaring daggers at her friend.

But Scarlet didn't stop laughing and continued running around while teasing Cecil, which prompted Asher to speed up his pace.

Eventually, the three of them ended up next to a tree, where he caught Scarlet after a brief struggle.

"Gotcha!" Asher declared as he hugged her from behind and pressed her body against his chest.

The redhead let out a squeal when he did so and tried to free herself, but to her surprise, Cecil also embraced her.

"What are you doing, Cecil?!" She gasped out, looking at her friend with an incredulous expression. "Why are you helping him? What happened to 'we're sisters and should stand together no matter what?' Huh!?" She asked, narrowing her eyes.

"That only applies if you behave well, Scarlet. Otherwise, you deserve to be punished." Cecil smirked and began tickling her friend, eliciting more laughter and cries of protest from her.

"Aha! No...please, hahaha, please stop, Cecil! It tickles so much! Aaaah!"

They played around like that for a little longer before he held the two girls in his arms, and they laid down on the grass under the shadow of the tree.

The trio looked up at the sky as the rays of sun filtered through the foliage and fell on them while a gentle breeze blew around.

It was indeed a lovely afternoon, and the peace and serenity of the park made the three of them forget about the hustle and bustle of life for a moment.

After a while, when everyone's heart had calmed down, Asher asked the two ladies. "So, what did you two wish for earlier?"

"Hmm, I wished to always be able to enjoy moments like these with the close ones." Cecil responded with a gentle smile.

At that moment, Scarlet looked at Cecil with surprise as she said, "Wait, I wished for that too. It seems we share the same sentiment!"

"Seems like it." Cecil nodded with a giggle.

"What about you, Asher? What did you pray for?" The redhead questioned, turning her attention towards him.

Asher paused for a moment before replying with a smile, "I wished to always be surrounded by my loved ones, such as the two of you, and spend time with them."

The two girls blushed upon hearing that answer and smiled back at him.

"I guess we all wish for the same thing then." Cecil murmured as she rested her head on Asher's chest.

"Yes, I suppose so," Asher answered, stroking her hair affectionately.

"Me too," Scarlet chimed in as she snuggled closer to Asher, resting her head on his shoulder.

With the two girls cuddling with him, Asher felt content and fulfilled.

They stayed like that for some time, basking in each other's presence and listening to the sounds of nature surrounding them.

The chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the occasional shout or laughter of other park visitors brought them back to reality every now and then, reminding them that there was still a world outside their cozy little bubble of happiness.
