Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

"Shall we go have a look too?"

Cecil gave a small nod of her head, still looking at the building with curious eyes full of wonder, while Scarlet clapped her hands in excitement upon hearing Asher's suggestion.

"Definitely!! I want to watch the play!"

Their agreement made Asher smile as they headed towards the entrance, where a lady greeted them with a polite smile on her face when they arrived before speaking with a sweet tone.

"Welcome to The Grand Theater. Would you like some tickets for tonight's play?"

"Yes, please. How are the seats arranged in here?" Asher asked.

"We have several types of seats available. There is VIP box seating, where you will be surrounded by luxury and comfort while enjoying the show. There are the standard boxes that come with good seats too, along with regular seats on the ground floor as well." The lady explained as she displayed pictures of each type for them, allowing them to choose whichever option suited them best.

Scarlet was the one who decided, pointing toward a particular picture. "Let's go to the VIP box, Asher." She said, having picked the most lavish option, earning a chuckle from him. He turned towards Cecil, his fingers running over the fine silk fabric of the dress and hugging her curvy frame, asking. "What do you think, Cecil?"

"Yes, we can go with this one." Cecil nodded, her body heating up due to the contact that Asher had established between their bodies.

After paying the fee for their tickets, the three were then escorted to their private VIP booth, where they would be treated to first class service throughout the entire duration of their experience at The Grand Theatre.

The hallways leading to their booth were decorated in a style reminiscent of ancient times and even had paintings hanging on the walls depicting beautiful scenes that made them feel like royalty going through palace corridors or something along those lines.

They were led straight to the VIP box overlooking the stage, with perfect visibility of every single detail taking place on it without fail, no matter what direction one turned toward.

The interior décor was even more luxurious than it appeared from the outside, as the walls were decorated with intricate patterns and designs that emitted a sense of majestic beauty around them; there were also soft-looking velvet sofas in the middle where everyone could sit and enjoy the show.

"Please enjoy your stay, honored guests. If you wish to order anything during the performance, then just ring the bell by pressing the button on the table, and one of our staff members will be right with you shortly to take care of your request." The woman explained with the utmost professionalism and grace while gesturing towards the small button on the table.

Asher smiled at her. "Thanks for everything. We shall do that."

"It was my pleasure to assist you." The lady responded with a gentle smile on her face before she left them alone inside the private booth.

Once the young woman was gone, Asher sat down on the large sofa while motioning for both girls to sit down on either side of him, which made them giggle.

"Wow! This is quite nice," Scarlet commented as soon as she settled down on his left with Cecil on his right, her eyes scanning around the spacious room they had been provided.

The transparent glass wall allowed them a panoramic view of the entire stage and gave them privacy from others, while a formation was placed inside the room to allow them to hear everything happening down below without any problems whatsoever.

"The Grand Theater sure knows how to impress us. It's hard not to be overwhelmed by everything." She continued while resting her head on Asher's shoulders, enjoying the warmth radiating off him as she basked in his comforting presence.

Cecil nodded in agreement, as she too felt comfortable in this cozy atmosphere where nobody could disturb them. "That's true."

"I wonder what makes this play so special that people would flock here in droves, though? The poster didn't really tell me anything about what to expect; did you two find anything about it while looking around?" Asher asked in a relaxed manner.

Scarlet shook her head and said, "Nope, nothing. All I know is that it's a story about the sword and passion, whatever that means. But don't worry about it, Asher! Whatever it is, I'm sure it won't disappoint us at all."

"Yes. I also didn't hear anything about the plot, but many were excited about watching the performances of the lead actresses, so maybe that is why there is a lot of commotion today. They must be quite skilled in their art to gain so much fame among common folk." Cecil added before she asked, "Have you ever seen a play, Asher?"

Asher shook his head, a wry smile forming on his face. "Can't say that I have. This will be my first time experiencing this kind of thing. Although I know a thing or two about them from reading books, it's said to be a powerful medium that can evoke many emotions in people. What about you two? Have you ever witnessed one?"

Both girls shook their heads in unison at his question.

"I guess this will be an enlightening experience for all of us. Who knows what might happen? Maybe it will make us cry, laugh, or even become enraged, depending on how intense the characters are portrayed during their scenes. That sounds like it would be quite entertaining, doesn't it?" Asher mused, his mind imagining several possible outcomes for what they were about to witness.

"Yeah! I can't wait for this show to start already! I wonder when the curtain opens... It better be soon; otherwise, I might fall asleep waiting." Scarlet complained while settling even closer to Asher.

He chuckled, putting an arm around her slender waist and making her comfortable. "Don't worry about it. You won't be bored for long." He assured her before turning to Cecil with the same smile and reaching out for her as well, wanting to keep them close. She blushed a little and also snuggled close to him, laying her head on his shoulder.

A few seconds later, music began echoing throughout the theater, signaling to all present that the show was about to begin.
