"Mmh—!"
The moment my hands
truly
touched her—skin beneath silk, heat beneath divinity—her body
reacted.
Her back arched ever so slightly, pressing closer to me. A small, breathy moan slipped past her lips, vibrating
into
the kiss.
And her
tongue
It
moved.
Not passively, not hesitantly, but with something
new
. Something
hungry.
She met me now, not just accepting the kiss, but
responding
to it. Her tongue brushed against mine, hesitant at first, then bolder, pressing,
entangling
, drawing me deeper into a dance I hadn't expected.
Fuck.
Heat surged through me, raw, uncontrollable.
Her hands, which had remained idle before, began to
move
.
One slid up my chest, fingers curling against the fabric of my shirt,
clutching
as if grounding herself. The other trailed to my shoulder, gripping,
clinging
.
She
liked
this.
She
wanted
this.
And that realization drove me
mad
.
I could
feel
myself hardening, my length pressing against the constraints of my pants, throbbing against her with every desperate shift of our bodies.
I needed her.
I needed to
have
her.
My hands moved on instinct, roaming lower, lower—
Fingertips grazing the edge of her dress, ready to
strip away the barrier between us
But then—
"Tch—!"
I felt it.
Something
invisible
slammed against me, locking my body in place.
I couldn't move.
My arms, my legs—
frozen
.
And when I opened my eyes—
I met
hers
.
Selene was staring at me, golden irises burning with something
indecipherable
.
Then she broke the kiss, her lips parting from mine with an almost deliberate slowness, as if she were savoring the final moments of our contact.
We both gasped for breath.
Our chests rose and fell, the heat between us thick, tangible—almost suffocating.
Then, as if nothing had just happened, she
smiled.
"You're not bad..."
she murmured, her golden eyes gleaming with amusement.
I let out a breath, my smirk slow, teasing. "Not bad? You
nearly
lost control just now."
Selene's expression remained composed, but I caught the way her fingers
twitched
slightly against my chest before she pulled them away.
"
...I just played along...
" she said smoothly.
A
lie
.
Evident. Obvious.
I chuckled. "You're not being honest."
She arched a perfect brow. "What makes you say that?"
I leaned in slightly, my voice lowering. "
You were wriggling under my touch.
"
She didn't react—not immediately. But there was something
too poised
about her stillness.
"I don't remember that," she said, her smirk returning. "All I remember is how
crazy
you looked at me. Like you wanted to have me with your
very being
."
I stilled.
Tch.
I
had
forgotten.
She could
read my mind.
She had
felt
every single twisted thought that had surged through me in that moment.
And she wasn't wrong.
Even though it
scratched my pride
, even though it made my jaw clench to admit it—
For that brief moment, she had
completely
held me.
I had nearly
lost my sanity
from
wanting
her.
But so
what
?
It would be pathetic to
deny
it. A
loser's move
to reject what was
fact
.
If I
truly
wanted to
own
myself, then I had to
own the truth.
I exhaled slowly, meeting her gaze without hesitation.
"That's right."
Selene's eyes flickered with something unreadable.
"I wanted you so bad."
The words rolled off my tongue, unfiltered, absolute.
"Even now, I crave you."
I watched as her lips parted slightly, as if she hadn't
expected
me to admit it so boldly.
"I want you."
I leaned in just enough for my breath to mix with hers.
"And that...
is your power
, isn't it?"
Selene's smirk returned, this time sharper, almost
predatory
.
"Heh... You finally noticed."
Selene
smiled
at that.
A slow, knowing curve of her lips, like she was truly
pleased
with me.
Her fingers moved again,
trailing
down my body—slow, deliberate.
Brushing over my chest, tracing the shape of my abdomen, moving
dangerously low.
My muscles tensed under her touch, anticipation curling in my gut.
But just when I thought she
might
She
stopped
.
Right at the edge of my waistband.
A tease.
A
reminder
of who held control in this moment.
"You passed the test,"
she murmured.
I raised a brow, smirking despite the heat coursing through me. "
Test?
Wasn't this a
reward
?"
Selene chuckled, her golden eyes gleaming with amusement.
"My test is your reward, was it not?"
I let out a breathless laugh, shaking my head. "
No, it was indeed a reward.
"*
My fingers flexed against the armrests, my body still burning from her touch.
"I doubt I'll ever experience something like this again."
Selene's smile deepened, amusement flickering through her golden eyes.
"But who says you won't experience this again?" she murmured, tilting her head slightly.
I narrowed my eyes. "
Oh?
"
She leaned in, just close enough for her breath to ghost over my lips.
"I've taken quite a liking to you," she admitted, her voice smooth, deliberate. "It's been a long time since I've found something...
interesting.
"
Her fingers trailed up my chest again, slow, teasing, as if savoring the sensation of my body beneath her touch.
"And this
burning spirit
of yours," she continued, her smirk widening, "I want to see just how
far
it will take you. I want you to
entertain me
—to
prove
that you can break free from the chains of your mere mortality."
A slow shiver crawled down my spine.
'
This woman...
'
She was playing a
dangerous
game.
'
Provoking me like this...
'
I licked my lips, my smirk growing. "
If it's a game you want...
" I breathed,
"I'll get you."
And then—
I
moved
.
Again.
My body
screamed
in protest, but I
forced
it forward.
Selene's eyes widened—just slightly—as my arms
broke free
from her unseen restraints.
Without hesitation, I curled my arms around her waist,
pulling
her against me, locking her in place.
Our bodies pressed together, my grip firm, unyielding, making her
face
me—
making
her look directly into my eyes.
"You will be mine."
My voice was low, steady, absolute.
"
Make sure to be prepared for that.
"
Selene blinked once—then
laughed.
A sultry, knowing sound.
"Oh my...
how confident,
" she mused, her golden eyes burning with something
undeniable.
Then—
She
kissed
me.
A final, claiming kiss—
But this time, she
bit
my lip.
Sharp. Enough to sting. Enough to
remind
me.
As she pulled away, her lips curved into a smirk.
"
Then show me, mortal.
"
Selene raised her hand, fingers tracing something unseen in the air.
The space around us
shifted.
The very air trembled, rippling like the surface of disturbed water.
And then—
A
surge
.
The world beneath me tilted, my vision
twisting
, colors warping, folding in on themselves.
My stomach lurched, my body weightless—
Like I was being
dragged
through existence itself.
Through the distortion, I heard her voice, smooth, sultry, echoing as if carried by the cosmos.
"I will be waiting."
Even as reality fractured around me, I smirked.
"I'll make sure you don't wait too long."
The last thing I saw was her golden eyes, gleaming with amusement—
And then—
Everything
vanished.
