"Brother, I want you now."
When Austin heard Satella's tender plea, something inside his head snapped, and he swiftly reversed their positions, pressing her against the wall.
Without uttering a word, he dove in to claim her lips, kissing her with intensity. Before long, he skillfully parted her lips, eliciting a soft moan from her. Then, he roughly pushed his tongue inside, attempting to intertwine it with hers.
Like a parched wanderer stumbling upon an oasis in the middle of the desert, he lost control of himself and drank Satella's saliva thirstily.
He continued ravaging the inside of her mouth for a full minute before Satella tapped his shoulder, her face flushed as if out of breath.
He reluctantly broke away from their kisses.
"Let's continue on the bed," he suggested. Without waiting for her response, he scooped her up in a princess hug, effortlessly carrying her to the bed. As he gently tossed her onto the mattress, her body bounced slightly.
He soon hovered above her and had her pinned below him.
"Kiss me," she pleaded, her scarlet eyes slightly blurred in a pink mist.
Austin seemed to succumb to her spell, appearing lost as he kissed her.
Satella responded by pressing her lips forward and extending her tongue, engaging in Austin's passionate kiss. She could feel her blouse on the verge of being torn apart under his fervent movements.
Before long, her blouse was removed, unveiling a black lacy bra that accentuated her white, milky-smooth skin perfectly.
"Brother, let's go all the way today," she declared abruptly.
"What?" Austin's body instinctively shuddered as his eyes became lost.
"Let's not stop at the final step just like we used to," she continued, her voice carrying a hint of determination.
Austin's breath deepened, his eyes growing darker. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. Besides, it's only through intercourse that I can share the energies I received earlier from the battle with Asmodeus." Satella said.
"What do you mean?"
"Remember when I absorbed all those pink mist directly into my body? It's been making me feel ridiculously bloated. I had this gut feeling that if I didn't release some of these energies, I might just burst—like, literally explode!" Satella demonstrated with an explosive gesture.
Austin's eyes widened, and he exclaimed urgently, "Why didn't you mention this sooner?! Let's head over to Agatha and see if she can do something about it! I regret approving your plan. If I had known it would get this dangerous, I would've stopped you immediately."
Satella shook her head, her warm palm against his cheek. "Didn't I mention I can share the energies through intercourse? If we're having sex, my life won't be in danger anymore."
Austin was stunned.
"Besides I want to help you."
"Help me?"
"Aren't you still dealing with the 'demon hunger' issue right now? Those energies I absorbed from Asmodeus's horn are essentially negative emotions, gathered from people's faith. If I share some of my harvest with you, you shouldn't have to endure the demon hunger anymore," Satella explained.
Austin's eyes softened, holding more tender emotion as he gently stroked Satella's hair. "Silly girl. Your safety is my priority. How could you risk your life for this reason alone? I can deal with my demon hunger tomorrow or the day after. I have plenty of time, and Alysia has agreed to take me to the Hell Market to buy some souls I could consume."
"So, you've planned a date with her, huh?" Satella's eyes narrowed, a hint of danger in her look.
"Why are you fixating on that?" Austin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "And it's not a date. Anyway, my main concern is that what you're doing is senseless. It's not worth risking your life for something I could have achieved more safely."
Satella pouted. "Are you scolding me? Aren't you pleased with my intention? Hmph!"
"Alright, alright, I'm happy, very happy!" Austin could only appease her.
"Turn off the light," Satella ordered, her head turned away.
"Are you being embarrassed now? Where's my bold and dominant Satell-" he couldn't finish his word because Satella had claimed his lips, forcefully pushing his words back.
Their tongues danced, Satella gripping his hair with both hands, the pressure alternating between tight and loose, their lips pressed closely, occasional groans and moans escaping their throats.
After breaking their kiss, Austin tenderly descended, placing gentle kisses on her fluttering eyelids, the tip of her adorable nose, and her supple cheeks before claiming her lips for another passionate kiss...
Satisfied with the kiss, he began to trail his lips down her neck, delicately reaching her clavicle before skillfully removing her bra strap with his teeth.
Simultaneously, his hands began removing her jeans, along with her underwear.
With her naked body now completely at his mercy, he whispered lovingly, "I love you."
...
At the same time, Alysia, who had been wearily slouching on the couch, suddenly tensed. A warm flush crept up to her cheeks. Her legs instinctively pulled together, and she began to rub them almost as if she were squirming.
Her hands moved towards her private area.
"Hmm…" Finally, a long-suppressed sound slipped out of her throat, her lips pursed tightly.
Amidst her moans, she tearfully cursed, "Curse this contract! Fuck you, Austin!"
...
A soft morning light filtered through the curtains, gently waking Austin. He opened his eyes lazily, taking in the familiar scent enveloping him.
Turning his head, he discovered Satella wrapped around him like an octopus, limbs entwined. She lay there, naked, with the evidence of their shared moments scattered delicately across her body.
Holding her naked body close, Austin couldn't ignore the physiological response that stirred within him and had his woodpecker rise up again.
Letting out a wry sigh, he told his woodpecker, "Buddy, let's just settle with a cold shower today."
Despite his lingering desires for another round, he didn't have the heart to disturb Satella with it.
After all, they had indulged in intense lovemaking from night until dawn, exploring various corners of their temporary haven – the bed, the couch, the carpet, the shower, and even the balcony!
...
As Austin's thoughts wandered, a peculiar sensation stirred within him. Closing his eyes, he found himself in the familiar space where the Runes revealed themselves.
Unexpectedly, there were two additional runes now. They were exactly Gluttony and Lust.
"Gluttony? Did absorbing Satella's energy grant me that? Well, considering the amount I consumed, it does make sense."
"As for Lust, it must be because we were mating like animals."
After marveling at the runes for a brief moment, he exited the peculiar space and returned to reality. As expected, he once again started to receive energy feedback from the runes, and his strength began to exponentially increase.
"I can't wait for the day I complete the morphing phase and successfully pass the first awakening." Austin clenched his fists in determination, remembering how powerless he felt last night.
Abruptly, he rose from the bed and headed to the bathroom for a refreshing cold shower. The lingering desire to stay in bed with Satella became overpowering, and he feared succumbing to the temptation of ravishing her once more. Her taste proved irresistibly addictive.
Ten minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom, draped in just a towel, only to find Satella still in the same position. Paying no mind to her, he briskly walked to the refrigerator, poured himself some milk, and began perusing the room service options.
"Since this is my first morning as a millionaire, how about treating myself to a lavish breakfast buffet?" Austin said ponderingly.
In the end, he placed an order that could easily feed a family of ten.
Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang. Upon opening the door, he found a trolley laden with the feast he had ordered.
After checking all the orders were correct, he instructed the hotel staff to leave, and he returned to his room while pushing the trolley.
He parked it right beside a spacious table and began arranging his food neatly. After a couple of minutes, he took out his phone and started capturing photos of the meal.
Click!
Click!
Satisfied with the results, he posted them on his 'Moment' and began eating the food with a gleeful and surprised expression.
"What the heck? Have I been eating the fake steak this whole time? Why would the steak I used to eat be so difficult to bite and chew, almost like gnawing on a piece of wood? But this one? Oh, it's so tender and soft!"
"This pasta is amazing! It really puts Mom's pasta to shame. It's like comparing savoring genuine, flavorful noodles to chewing on dry, damp carbon."
"What kind of chicken is this? Did the hotel breed a celestial bird? It's like experiencing a taste of heaven with every bite!"
...
It took him ten minutes to finish almost all the food and feel full.
"She didn't lie to me when she said she could resolve my demon hunger," Austin remarked with a twinge of emotion. His gaze involuntarily fell on her sleeping face. Just then, he noticed she hadn't moved an inch from her spot.
Curious, he walked toward her and started poking her cheeks.
No response.
He frowned and began to rub her ticklish parts.
Yet, same as before, there was no response.
A sense of anxiety began to creep over him.
"Why won't she wake up? Did I go too rough on her?" Austin mumbled in distress. After making several more attempts to wake her up and failing, he immediately dialed Alysia's number.
"Hmm, who is this?" Alysia's sleepy voice came from the other end.
"It's me. My sister won't wake up!" Austin cut straight to the main point.
However, Alysia, who had a torturous night, seemed to interpret his words differently. Blushing, she angrily yelled, "Why are you telling me that? You pervert!" before promptly hanging up the call.
Thud!
Thud!
Austin stared speechlessly at his phone before dialing her number again.
"Why did you hang up?" He couldn't help but express his frustration.
"Because you were being shameless!" Alysia replied promptly.
"How am I being shameless? Anyway, let's not talk about this for now. My sister suddenly refuses to wake up! Do you think something is going on with her?" he began to recount the story.
Dumbfounded, Alysia listened to his story but soon realized she had misunderstood the situation. With a slightly embarrassed tone, she replied, "I think your sister should be fine. Her body is likely still digesting the remaining energies from Asmodeus, causing her to be in a state of deep sleep."
"Is that so?" Austin said, still expressing concern but not as intensely.
"Yeah, if you're still worried about her, just let me know the room you're in, and I'll send someone to take a look at her condition."
"Alright, I'm staying in..."
After noting the details, Alysia inquired again. "Did you just gain another rune?"
"How did you know?" Austin said, surprised.
"I have my own ways~" Alysia remarked in her usual playful tone.
"Did you spy on me?" Austin couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Guess~"
"Alright, I knew you were just playing with me. It must be something else, then."
...
"Oh! The person I sent will arrive there shortly," Alysia suddenly announced.
"Should I head down and welcome her, then?" Austin asked.
"No need, she should be arriving... now."
As Alysia's voice trailed off, Austin felt a shift in the air right in front of him. Suddenly, a black door adorned with mystical runes appeared.
In a moment of astonishment, the door gracefully swung open, exposing slender, pale legs encased in black stockings. As the view extended, a young woman stepped forward, dressed in a one-piece black dress reaching up to her knee.
The young woman while not outstandingly beautiful like Satella, Alysia, and Eris, had lovely faces and exuded a refreshing aura.
Adding to her unique presence was the large, conical, pointy-tipped hat she wore, unmistakably resembling a witch's hat. It dominated most of her head, partially veiling her blond hair.
Thud!
Her entire body had now passed through the door. As her adorable little feet gently touched the floor, the mystical door began to close, and vanished completely, leaving no trace behind. It was as if the door had never been there in the first place.
She promptly sniffed the air, and her eyes lit up as if she had just discovered something that caught her interest.
"Hmm... this aroma... the fragrance of delicious food!"
