Knowing that someday he would try and get me into his bed scared the living crap out of me. But I knew that I had nothing to worry about, considering that it would be a long time before that happened. I decided not to think about it to ease the tension. A couple of months passed, and the more I was with Sython, the more I started to fall for him. He was still scary, and intimidating, and I seemed to be the only one he was ever nice to, but I felt closer to him as time went on.
One day, I was heading back to my room after helping Liem with some of his work and felt exhausted. 'Hopefully, Sython didn't see me helping him. Otherwise, we would both be in trouble.' I didn't think he would notice since my strapless blue dress wasn't dirty, and I didn't have any more soap on my hands. I approached my room and opened the door, but to my surprise, the room was filled with candles. They dimly lit the room and I turned to see a bottle of wine and two glasses on the nightstand.
I gasped and walked into the room while looking around at all the little lights. I then heard the door close and lock behind me. I turned around and saw Sython leaning against the door while facing me. He was wearing a black loose robe with no sleeves and was open in the chest as a belt held the rest closed. He also wore a long black cape and many rings. "Hello, beautiful." I blushed and backed away until the bed brushed my legs behind me. "W-What is this?"
He started to walk towards me with a smile. "This is my attempt to seduce you." He then dropped his cape to the floor as he approached me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I stiffened, and my eyes opened wide as he kissed me. I found it impossible how soft his lips were. It took a few seconds before I found the strength to push him away from me. "Y-you can't just kiss me and expect me to sleep with you!" Despite what I said, he continued to smile and cupped my cheek with his hand.
"I don't expect you to do anything tonight. I only want you to give me a chance to make you mine." His words were scary, but it gave me comfort that he wasn't going to force me to do anything. I sat on the bed and crossed my arms. "Fine. But your chances are slim." He sat next to me on the bed and put his hands on my shoulders from behind. "I think they're higher than you say."
Blush came back to my face and I closed my eyes as he started to give me a massage. It felt nice that someone was willing to give me so much attention. 'I have so many mixed feelings about this.' I thought as I was starting to relax from the stiffness in my neck. After a while, he had massaged every part of me and I felt like liquid after he was done. "That felt great, but I'm still not convinced." He got up off of the bed and opened the bottle of wine. "I know. But the night's just getting started."
He gave me a glass and poured some into it. "You know getting me drunk is cheating, right?" I said, smugly. He chuckled and returned to sitting down next to me as I took a sip. "I wasn't planning on that. I'm only giving you enough to relax." He put his hand over my glass and took it away after I took a couple of sips. He then took a chocolate-covered strawberry out of a bowl on the nightstand and put it in my mouth.
I took a bite and smiled. "Mmm... That's really good." He took another and put it in my hand. "Only if you want to." I hesitated, then held it up to him and he took a bite. The sight of how sharp his teeth were made me shudder. "I-I thought human food was flavorless to demons." He smiled and licked his lip. "It is. But I have a weak spot for chocolate. The texture is so captivating." I smiled a little and avoided his gaze so I wouldn't get trapped in his eyes.
We then talked some more which made my nervousness melt away. That is, until he started to kiss my neck. However, this time I didn't stop it and he pushed me down onto the bed and climbed on top of me. "Tell me when to stop." He continued, and I didn't know whether to hit him or remain a statue. He pulled me closer and whispered into my ear. "Touch me. Use me as you wish." I wrapped my arms around his neck slowly and closed my eyes. "...But, I don't want to use you. I only want to be with you. Forever."
He brushed his cheek against mine until our lips touched, and he pulled away with surprise. His eyes were more soft and gentle than they ever were before and I couldn't stop myself from saying what I felt. "...I love you." His eyes widened and he froze. I looked away as a blush filled my cheeks once again.
"Say it back, will you? Before I change my mind." He immediately pressed his lips against mine and passionately held my body against him until he pulled away. "I love you more than anything in existence." I bit my lip and slid his robe over his shoulder. "Then prove it and take me." He smiled and kissed me again, and again. He removed my dress and kissed every inch of me.
The feeling of his kiss was cold, yet made me feel amazing. He removed his robe and lay on top of me, pushing inside of me. The feeling hurt at first and made me gasp, but it faded away to my trembling body not knowing how much I could take. He kissed me when he wanted, and made me moan easily until I released. He continued to hold me under him even after he did the same. We breathed heavily and he kissed my cheek before whispering in my ear. "I'm not done with you yet."
I woke up next to him with his arms around me and his chin resting on my shoulder. He was still asleep and it was dark outside so I wondered why I had woken up. I carefully got out of his grip and rubbed my eyes with my fist. Suddenly, I saw a bright green light shine through the window. 'What is that?' The light looked like it was at the side door of the palace and it had a very captivating look to it. I got dressed and came closer to the window to see if I could get a better look at it. It was hard to see from upstairs, but suddenly, I felt very relaxed and my body started moving on its own.
I left the room and went downstairs, wondering why I was so curious about it and how I couldn't stop myself from going outside. I opened the door and walked out to see a glowing, floating green ball in front of me. 'Oh no! That's a celestial orb! Those are used to attract good souls and sell them on the black market!! Someone lured me out here! I need to fight back!' I tried to move, but I couldn't stop my body from walking toward it or calling for help.
When I finally stood in front of it, I reached out to touch it but it disappeared, revealing at least ten demons standing in front of me. I gasped and another demon came from behind me and shoved a syringe in my back. "Ah!" I immediately started to feel dizzy and fell to my knees. 'No!... I can't-!' I started to think as I fell to the cold stone below me and closed my eyes.
