Chapter 147: Didn’t you say we do that while you pound me?
"I will become so strong that Vaelrith would never descend in my presence, then, I will force his descent and rip him apart limb by limb.
I will not let another demon take what I cherish.
Not this time."
Lucian’s violet eyes intensified. He looked so dangerous right now that, for a moment, even Evelyn flinched in front of that gaze, but then, she gathered herself.
Her hands then slowly moved, and she gently held his.
That pulled Lucian out of his reverie. The intensity in his eyes softened. He held Evelyn’s hands, then gently cupped her cheek and—
"I will protect you, Evelyn. No matter who the enemy is."
"I believe you."
Evelyn only smiled.
Seeing her, Lucian grinned as well.
"You know the good part in all this?"
"There’s a good part?"
"Vaelrith will never stop coming after you."
"How is that good?"
Evelyn didn’t understand.
"It means you will always be in danger."
If any other person had heard those words, they would have lost all hope, maybe even despaired or cursed their luck, but Evelyn—
She grinned.
"That means your group will need to keep protecting me."
She remembered Lucian telling her that she was being protected because the Enclave needed to maintain their image.
So if she was always in danger, they needed to protect her all the time, and that meant...
"Your mission to protect me will never end."
Evelyn’s grin widened.
"You are not going to leave."
"I am not going to leave."
Lucian grinned with her.
"We will be together for our entire life."
Evelyn’s eyes became darker as she looked at Lucian. It seemed as if she was going to devour him whole. Lucian looked into those eyes and he...
He smiled as well.
For a moment, the two looked into each other’s eyes, feeling lost. Lucian even forgot that he also needed to talk about the contract. Evelyn, however, did not—
"Lucian."
She suddenly called out.
"Hmm?"
"This energy that I gather, is there a way it can benefit you?"
She asked directly.
She may not know about contracts or other supernatural things. What she did know was that she gathered energy, Lucian needed energy, and she wanted to help in any way she could.
Lucian blinked at that question, then—
"There is."
He nodded.
"This is actually the reason Vaelrith is targeting you in the first place. He intends to form a Binding Contract with you."
"A Binding Contract? What’s that?"
"It’s what demons use to enslave their targets."
"So Vaelrith wanted to enslave me?"
"Yes, he wanted to enslave you and turn you into his personal energy production source. If he had succeeded, then from that point onwards, every time you sang, the energy you gathered would directly be fed to him."
Lucian explained, and Evelyn’s eyes changed.
"So if you enslave me... then you can feed on the energy instead..."
She muttered, then, a big, excited smile appeared on her face and—
"That’s great! Then you would never need to worry about energy again! Quick! Enslave me!"
She exclaimed, ready to do whatever was needed to help Lucian, even if it meant losing her freedom to him.
Heck, she was actually looking forward to it. She wanted to see what Lucian would do once he had absolute control over her. She wanted to see his deepest, darkest desires that he had still held back until now.
But Lucian—
"...I wasn’t planning on enslaving you."
He answered as he stared at Evelyn. He could hear her excited heartbeat, and he understood why. She was happy she was of help, but still...
To be willing to be enslaved...
To go so far...
Just...
"Then how are you going to use that energy?"
Evelyn tilted her head in confusion.
"I don’t need to enslave you for that. Binding Contracts are generally used for enslavement, but that isn’t their only use. We can form a Binding Contract that creates a link between us with proper terms that you consent to."
He explained and Evelyn—
"Tsk, talk about boring."
She only snorted in disappointment.
Honestly, when Lucian saw that, he wanted to see just what exactly was going on inside this woman’s head. If only he could read someone’s mind, he would read hers first.
"So? How do we do it? Let’s get it over with."
Evelyn groaned, still thinking about what it would feel like to be enslaved by him.
"We do it through intercourse."
Evelyn’s expression changed.
"...what?"
Her smile returned.
Lucian looked at her, at the excited look on her face, and he couldn’t help but chuckle as well.
"Through intercourse. Sleeping with each other, my dick inside your vagina, me pouring into you as we agree on the terms, sealing the contract after we come."
"That’s... amazing..."
Evelyn’s eyes shone.
"Let’s do it."
She was ready.
"Let’s agree on the terms first."
"Didn’t you say we do that while you pound me?"
Evelyn chuckled with a playful look on her face.
"Yes, that is the procedure."
Lucian nodded.
"But one’s emotions are heightened during intercourse. Demons take advantage of that to get what they want. I won’t do that with you."
He looked into her eyes with an earnest look.
Evelyn stared at him. For a moment, she wanted to joke about how boring Lucian was, but when she looked into his eyes, she...
"I know you will never do that to me."
She smiled.
And she wasn’t lying.
She knew Lucian. She knew he would never cheat her. This was the reason she was so casual about it all in the first place, because she knew that even if Lucian enslaved her, she would be the freest slave in the entire world.
Evelyn couldn’t help but chuckle at that thought.
Being with Lucian truly was... liberating.
She felt as if she could simply shut her mind and let him do everything. For the first time in her entire life, she didn’t feel like she had to be wary or suspicious of someone around her.
And these actions Lucian took, these words he said, the fact that he could trick her into becoming his slave by never telling her about how the Contract actually worked but still went on to tell her every single detail, even discussing the terms before her mind was too overwhelmed to think properly...
These things only reinforced her feelings even further.
"Then let’s discuss the terms."
Evelyn smiled gently.
