The light had long since dulled out as the night poured within the empty bedroom. Calm surfaced along the sprawling carpet, permeating inside every nook and cranny. Similarly, the ruby curtains illuminated tranquil shadows.

  Lying underneath the duvet that covered them partially, Zyponia rested on Lutiel’s left armpit, making sure not to dig into his face with her dark horns.

  Purple strands of hers stuck both to her skin as well as the man’s, but they made no effort to pull them away. Lying softly and relaxing inside the other’s embrace, the girl traced her index finger along his pale chest, the man’s arm wrapped around her figure with his hand lay on her stomach.

  “Are you sure you’re not angry?” Suddenly however, he broke the peaceful silence. Asking away on the matter, she promptly set her sights onto him. As her head slowly raised itself, it remained there for a brief period.

  Finally, she rended the wait. Glancing solemnly into his eyes. “What? About you having sex with Folvana?” Her lips couldn’t help but sigh lightly as he gave a brisk nod. “Not really.”

  “Why?” He asked regardless, prying away at the already done question. At the same time, budding into a faint smile, Zyponia stared at him with a confused expression.

  “Do you want me to kick you in the dick and throw you out or what?” The voice brushed his ears, guiding along the turning eyebrows. Staring into him for a while, especially inside his purple eyes, they both fell silent. A few breaths escaped before she finally turned back to her previous position, circling a finger around his chest.

  Lutiel swiftly witnessed her smile plummet, her eyes no longer gleaming as much whilst staring ahead of herself with a distant expression. “I’ve witnessed my father bed countless women I had no connections to, many of whom had mothered his children. My mother, on the other hand, led affairs with strangers because father did what he did.” Said Zyponia, a bit somber in the tongue, however, her voice quickly sparked back as she glanced back at the man.

  “Although we’re not married, nor are we even in a relationship, I’m definitely more comfortable with you together with my good friend rather than some random woman you suddenly fancied,” the girl added, suddenly widening her eyes as she felt him tighten his grasp.

  “I’m sorry, I must have reminded you of him,” He spoke softly after bringing her close to him.

  Stuck against his body as the hug brought them practically face to face, she quickly lost her vision, glancing sparingly into his eyes while a rosy tint garnered up along her cheeks. Swiftly however, the forearms stuck against his chest wriggled out, the man letting her loose at the sudden movements.

  “Even though I told you all of that, it doesn’t mean I was happy when I heard what you two did earlier,” she said, squinting her brows with a slight pout. “If she hadn’t learned about your ability, I would have made you wait for longer than just a day,” she said, making him blink at the reactions. However, seeing her face fidget back and forth with trouble, Lutiel quickly aided the lady.

  “Let’s just forget about that,” he said, taking hold of her chin and bringing it right at him. “Instead, can you explain to me what the deal with that ability is? All I know for certain is that I can receive more energy from sex.”

  Immediately, she lost herself within his eyes. Listening to the words intently, her face fell back with a blank silence, though it didn’t take long before the lips parted again. “It would take a while to explain it fully as you would need to understand magic from its basis, but-” she started speaking, however, he suddenly interrupted.

  “Could you teach me? The magic and its aspects,” he said, lingering around her face with slight expectations, only to die down as her face soured vaguely.

  “I’m sorry, but I’m not the best one suited for that. Although I teach Camilla, it’s for a different area of studies. Could you ask Raeyine instead?” However, his eyes gleamed anew at the words, welcoming her with a nod.

  “Okay, now, how should I explain it? Basically, during sexual intercourse, the three mainly active parts of the body are the genitalia, the brain, as well as the heart. At the same time, it just so happens that these parts naturally gather a greater reserve of magical energy compared to other organs,” she explained swiftly, the man looking sparsely at her face while engraving the information deep inside.

  “When you accumulate pleasure together with your partner, so does the energy inside your corresponding organs. For you, it would be just inside the testicles while for women, it’s mainly inside the womb, but the bladder also garners some. Each time I orgasm, you’re basically splashed with the energy, but what’s so special about you is that you shouldn’t be able to receive in the slightest, nor should I gain the energy from your sperm.” She spoke further, making his eyebrows furrow at the end.

  “What do you mean?”

  “Your body is behaving in an eerily close way to that of a demon’s. Once you empty yourself, the sudden lack of energy is substituted by my own and my lack is replenished by you, a process which has its unique benefits. However, that shouldn’t be the case since humans aren’t able to innately do so. Rather than gaining energy, you should be more and more drained every time you ejaculate, yet that isn’t the case.” Her voice finally stopped, glancing deeply at the man’s perplexed face.

  “So you’re saying my body works like that of a demon? But, I’m still a human, right?” He asked, and the girl smiled immediately.

  “Exactly. You can see our confusion now, no?” She asked, showing him the pearly teeth while finding the confusion amusing.

  “Yes, I guess,” he uttered, still looking around her face with a meek discord. However, suddenly returning to the space around them, Lutiel settled himself at the smiling Zyponia. “But, what is the process you said? What sort of benefits does it have?”

  “Hmm, I won’t go into much detail because I’m not some sex maniac, but its main function is regulation of energy. It’s not good if it sits in certain parts for too long, hence the need for stimulation and release. That’s also partly why I decided to forget about your session with Folvana. She can’t do it at her work and it’s her break right now, so I’m glad she has someone to rely on.”

  “I see, so I’m her toy more or less,” he said suddenly before the girl burst out of nowhere, cackling at the comment while trying to hold herself. Yet, as Zyponia glanced at his furrowed eyebrows, her chuckles intensified instead.

  “Yes, yes, I guess you could say that,” finally soothing her voice, she glanced up at his face, fitting herself snugly against his embrace. “Though, don’t think I’m the same.” With a smile creasing through her expression, the girl gained his whole focus. “If I was, I wouldn’t have waited all this time until now.”

  “Are you finally admitting yourself? I thought you were more innocent,” he said, but the girl only rolled her eyes at the comment.

  “I’ve spent almost three decades on this continent. I was slowly dying out of boredom before you came into my eyes. Besides, you’re not so innocent yourself, taking your sword instructor right after your first training, not to mention the stares you were giving me after coming here.” Her smirking voice rumbled within his ears, immuring the man’s face.

  Still, looking back at the girl, he quickly parted his lips in retaliation. “It doesn’t help when my master wears dresses to specifically catch my eyes,” his straight face asked, to which her smile blossomed with a faint giggle. However, stopping eventually, she once again found herself lost in his eyes, the man doing the same.

  Meeting and blending in, their breaths passed the space while their faces lured inside. As their lips met again, Lutiel rolled underneath the bedding, grasping the lady’s butt and taking her together with him. Lying on his back, she once again found herself on top of him, glued to his lips alongside the darkness of her sight.

  “Ah, ah, angh~” before long, moans escaped through their kiss, Zyponia’s voice raising itself as he found his way inside her. Forgetting themselves, their bodies ground through one another, pounding and groaning beneath the lustful desires.

  For yet another time, they fell to their ardour, engulfing the space with sultry breaths throughout. Unbeknownst to the passing skies beyond the curtains and windows, their freshly glistening flesh fell back to the bed, briskly covered with the blanket below their chests.

  They cuddled whilst remaining the heavy breaths, clinging deeply against each other. Both on their sides, Lutiel entwined his right arm around her stomach, hugging her tightly from the back while sticking his face within her purple hair, unable to restrain himself from sniffing the floral strands.

  Silently, their hearts eventually came back to normalcy, the duo simply enjoying each other’s presence. However, as they stayed there, Lutiel finally broke the quietude. “Zyponia.”

  “Yes?”

  “How is life back there?” He asked, making her silent for a moment. “Is it better than over here?” Once again, she plummeted into silence, however, swiftly turning around in his grasp, her breast pressed against his skin. Yet, the man didn’t get aroused, staring solemnly into her pink eyes.

  “You know what’s funny? I came here when I was only eighteen, just when I grew my second horn. I spent most of my life in Aseun at the request of the king, though it was my decision to search for the one Magon had killed in the end,” she said, abruptly making the man halt his moving eyes. Glancing even deeper into her eyes, he awaited the following words.

  “But, even though I want to go back home after all this time, I think I enjoyed my stay here more than living in Cinseri, my home. Still, that’s only from my point of view. Most of the demons despise having come here. Believe it or not, I’m actually the princess of the demons,” she said abruptly, making the man’s eyes widen as she smiled.

  “Am I not committing some crime, then? What if your father finds out?” He pried instantly, but the girl continued to giggle before halting. Putting on a more serious expression entwined with a tinge of sorrow, she stared ahead of herself.

  “Don’t worry, he’s long since passed away. My sister took on the position, and she would be thrilled when she learns about you, especially about our relationship,” she said, turning meek near the end as her blue cheek turned closer to the tones of her eyes.

  The man widened his vision instead, staring at the girl silently before speaking back. “Are we something? We did spend three nights together, after all.” He asked, only for the girl to spike up with a smile.

  “I don’t know~” she whispered after coming closer to him. “We’ll have to see. I don’t know if I want a man that’s able to have sex with a woman he had just met, even if it’s my friend,” Zyponia uttered, the tongue rolling about in the smile on her face. Chuckling at the troubled man, she swiftly turned around, grasping his arms to coil tighter around her.

  “And to answer your first question, you’ll have to see on your own, but I believe you will enjoy your time over there,” she said whilst he fell into a shrouding silence, only muttering at the words after a while.

  “Yeah, I will.”
