Chapter 2208: All the time in the world. * Inside a large room, on top of a floating bed, two figures were lying down and one of them stirred. It was Nux. After a long, long session and a ’successful conquest,’ he had been sleeping peacefully until... he wasn’t. "Mmffhh~~" He let out a strange voice as his eyelids trembled. The floating bed beneath him hummed softly, its colors shifting from deep indigo to warm amber as it sensed Nux’s movements. It had been days—three or maybe four—since the two had locked themselves away in this mansion, lost in each other. Of course, since the moments they spent together were more than intense, their ’personal time’ stretched, giving them ’more time’ to enjoy each other’s presence, but now, now it was time to wake up. Slowly, Nux opened his golden eyes, blinking away the haze of sleep. Then, without thinking too much, he turned towards the woman beside him and there, his eyes fell on her. Sharnoth was lying still, her gray skin glowing faintly in the dim light in the room. To Nux’s surprise, the Chaos Heir wasn’t asleep; she was wide awake, her crimson eyes fixed on the ceiling, where tiny constellations swirled like living art. Her rough silver-black hair fanned out across the pillows, her black curved horns catching glints of light. Her full breasts rose and fell with steady breaths, but there was a... distant look on her face, like she was lost in some thought. Nux frowned at that thought. Through their connection, he could tell that there were many thoughts inside her mind and no, they weren’t about him; they were about... something else. And it made his frown stronger. With a pout, he shifted closer, his warm hand sliding across the sheets to press gently against her toned belly. The muscles there twitched under his touch, still sensitive from their... marathon. "You are awake," He murmured, his thumb tracing lazy circles on her skin. His voice came out raspy, thick with sleep, but there was a familiar gentleness in it. Sharnoth’s gaze shifted to him, but she didn’t move, or more accurately, she couldn’t move. Instead, a small smile appeared on her face when she saw him. "Was it not enough? Are you craving more? Ready for another go?" Nux teased, his golden eyes sparkling with mischief. He knew better, of course. Because of their connection, he knew everything there was to know about her body. He could sense every ’ache’ in her body and that included the... delicious soreness between her thighs, the way her crimson folds still throbbed faintly from overuse. Sharnoth Nocthys wasn’t ready for another round, not yet, but teasing her was second nature now. It felt so good that he just couldn’t stop himself. At his question, Sharnoth fully turned her head towards him, giving him a flat look that only made his grin widen. "I still cannot feel my lower body," She muttered in a dry voice. Nux chuckled at those words. He propped himself up on one elbow; his other hand stayed on her belly, holding his warm, possessive hold. "You know that does not make me feel even the slightest bit bad, right?" He leaned in closer, his breath brushing her long gray ear. "If anything, it makes me proud. Look at you—the fierce Heir of Chaos, reduced to a cute little jelly belly by my touch~" Sharnoth narrowed her eyes at those words, but there was no real anger in them. Instead, her hand lifted, fingers trailing lightly across his chest. She traced the lines of his muscles, feeling the steady beat of his heart under her palm. Her touch was slow, deliberate, sending a familiar spark through him, just like what her body had become used to. "You talk as if I am saying it as a complaint," She whispered, her voice turning... seductive. Yes, seductive. The Chaos Heir was actively talking in a seductive voice. The old Sharnoth—the one bound by that foolish, desperate promise—was nowhere to be seen. In her place was this bold, hungry woman, her crimson eyes gleaming with... challenge. Nux raised an eyebrow, surprised but... obviously delighted. "You know you can’t talk as a pillow, correct? Or did you forget the rules?" He asked as he shifted even closer, their bodies aligning under the sheets. His free hand brushed her rough hair back from her face, fingers lingering on one of her black horns, stroking it gently. "Hnngg..." The touch made her shiver—horns were sensitive, a secret spot he had discovered during his... exploration. Sharnoth smiled, a slow, wicked curve appearing on her red lips. Her hand moved up from his chest, cupping his cheek along his jawline. Her fingers traced the sharp line there in a soft, sensual manner, as if she was memorizing him all over again. Then— She pulled him closer, her breath mingling with his, her crimson eyes never leaving his golden ones. Their noses brushed, lips hovering dangerously close to his. "I can talk," She whispered softly, her playful voice dripping with seduction. "I just can’t complain. And you won’t see me complain no matter what you do to me, Master~" The word Master hit him like a spark. His eyes darkened as more energy gushed beneath his belly. He was... waking up. And Sharnoth knew that perfectly well. After all, Nux wasn’t the only one who could sense her body through their connection—she could do the same too. And right now, using the... advantages she had, Sharnoth Nocthys was playing with fire, knowingly. Days of intimacy had stripped away her inhibitions, turning her into this teasing temptress. "This is not a game that will end in your favor." Nux warned, his voice dropping as his little brother began to twitch. "Not that I am saying you won’t like it." He chuckled, his hand on her belly began to slide lower, fingers trailing a slow path down her toned abs, toward the apex of her thighs. He could already feel her warmth, the faint tremble in her muscles. But just as his fingertips brushed the edge of her crimson folds—still sensitive from their last session—Sharnoth’s hand shot out, grabbing his wrist. "Not again." She spoke, her voice steady despite the flush creeping up her gray neck. "I am worried about the Infinities." She muttered honestly. Before, her body was too big of a mess, she was in no condition to think straight, so even when she heard those words, she couldn’t process them well, but now when her body had calmed down after hours of rest— It was different. "What happened?" She asked directly, wanting to know. "What did the Infinities do? Are you in danger? Have you figured something out? What are your wives saying?" She fired multiple questions at the same time. And Nux... He just smiled, his hand gently rubbing her crotch and each rub sent shivers down her spine. "I told you, did I not?" He whispered, his voice laced with gentleness that made Sharnoth weak. The firmness with which she was holding Nux’s hand began to fade. "There is no need to worry about them for now." He spoke in a gentle voice. Then, he moved closer and kissed Sharnoth’s forehead. "For now, there is only one thing you need to do— Think about me. Everything you do, every time you move, every time you breathe— Keep thinking about me. You have already given me your body, Now it’s time you surrender your mind and soul to me." Nux whispered, his voice sending jolts and jolts of shivers down Sharnoth’s spine. The feeling was so overwhelming that her body already weakened; her hand, that was stopping Nux from moving further, was now pushing him instead— But... "...no." Sharnoth shook her head, her mind barely gathering the last bit of reasoning that was left in her. "I cannot do that." She spoke in a firm voice as she closed her eyes, not looking at Nux since just looking in his eyes alone made her feel and remember things she would rather not recall right now. "I need to know about the Infinities and what you plan to do with them." She demanded. Yes, as Nux’s ’subordinate,’ she was supposed to do anything he wanted, not resisting any of his commands, but his safety was still her greatest concern, and to ensure that, she needed to know what was happening around her. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 And Nux— "I plan to do exactly what I said I would." He spoke in a low, gentle voice as his hands moved, this time much more restrained than before. He held Sharnoth’s hand that was stopping him and moved it above her head; his other hand did the same with her other hand, and with both her hands now above her, Nux locked them together and rolled on top of her in a slow, deliberate manner, making sure his now awake hardness traced over her thighs as he moved to the top. "Hnnnggggg..." His movements made the woman’s body tremble, forcing her to open her eyes and look at him. Then— "No matter how angry they are, they cannot enter my Universe and, as things currently stand— I have no need to enter their Universe. We are safe, Sharnoth Nocthys. And we... We have all the time in the world to do anything we want." And the moment she heard those words— Sharnoth’s body loosened, and in a shaky breath... "...All the time in the world," She repeated Nux’s words and closed her eyes again, gesturing Nux to do whatever he wanted like the universe could burn for all she cared. And just like that— Round two began.
