This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Sweetie, I seem to be experiencing a touch of… fever. Might you assist me?” Lilith murmured in Aditya’s ear. The suggestive lilt in her voice was sinfully compelling, almost as if she was the siren’s song calling him into temptation. Her whispered words were like tinder to his pent-up desires, sparking a dangerous flame within him. It was well known in this world that Dragons, much like the incubi, possessed potent desires of their own.

However, Sasha found herself unable to bear the sight. She was consumed by frustration. Jerking Lilith away from Aditya, she shot her an icy glare.

“Mother, our original purpose has been served. You’ve ascertained that I wasn’t spinning tales. Let’s get out of here. This place… it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.” Sasha’s voice was frosty as she turned her back on Aditya, her slender shoulders rigid. It was evident to Aditya from her frosty tone and rigid stance that she was still upset with him about his decision to save Laura.

‘She’s still seething over that,’ Aditya realized, a pang of guilt coursing through him. He understood Sasha’s anger, but he knew he couldn’t have acted otherwise. Now, he needed to find a way to mend the rift between them. But how, he wasn’t entirely sure.

Meanwhile, Lilith, unfazed by Sasha’s icy demeanor, turned her playful gaze back to Aditya. “My dear, have you considered tying the knot with my darling daughter?” Aditya was left momentarily speechless, taken aback by the directness of Lilith’s proposal.

“Mother…” Sasha attempted to cut in, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment, but Lilith seemed hell-bent on saying her piece.

Aditya felt a flutter of hesitation in his chest. He was trying to brainstorm ways to mend the rift with Sasha and was deeply grateful to both mother and daughter for coming to his rescue.

“You see, Sasha and I, we’ve been inflicted with a peculiar ailment,” Lilith revealed, catching Aditya off guard.

‘Hold on. Sasha had mentioned something about me being her “chosen one”, a gift from the heavens meant for her. Could it be related to this strange disease they are grappling with?’ Aditya found himself ruminating, his gaze instinctively shifting to Sasha. Sasha, sensing his gaze, averted her eyes with a small huff.

‘Hmph!’ She snorted indignantly, revealing her still simmering annoyance.

“What ailment are you speaking of?” Aditya found himself intrigued, wanting to understand more.

“Mother, don’t spill it!” Sasha interjected anxiously, yet Lilith waved her off dismissively.

“Well, here’s the gist of it. Ever since Sasha came into this world, she and I have been plagued with this enigmatic condition, for lack of a better word. We’re not entirely certain whether to categorize it as an illness or a disease, but for the sake of this conversation, let’s just label it as a disease.”

Lilith took a deep breath before continuing. “Essentially, this disease triggers an adverse reaction in our bodies when we come into physical contact with males. Whenever Sasha or I touch a man, our bodies start revolting, as if on fire from the inside. We cough up blood, and the more prolonged the contact with a male, the more toxic the internal reactions become. This onslaught of toxins weakens us significantly, and if the contact continues for too long, it could potentially be lethal.” Lilith’s words echoed in the air, heavy with foreboding.

Aditya’s eyes widened in shock as he absorbed the information. He glanced at Sasha, who responded with a nonchalant snort, refusing to meet his gaze.

‘So that’s why she seemed so desperate back then,’ Aditya thought to himself, pieces of the puzzle slowly beginning to align in his mind. He felt a newfound sense of empathy for the challenges Sasha and her mother must have faced due to this mysterious and potentially fatal condition.

Lilith began to walk towards Aditya as she spoke, her eyes reflecting a mix of sorrow and hope. “Succubus and Incubus are essentially creatures made for sensual gratification and intimate pleasure. Much like a vampire has an innate, unquenchable thirst for blood, our kind cannot endure without indulging in sexual intimacy. You can perhaps comprehend the profound distress and torment that Sasha and I have undergone being unable to so much as touch a man.”

“But the ordeal doesn’t end there,” she continued, her voice shrouded in melancholy. “You see, Sasha and I are not mere Succubus. We are what you’d call Succubus Empresses. This title signifies the pinnacle of what a Succubus can ascend to, which means our desires and urges are exponentially more potent than those of an ordinary Succubus.”

As Lilith disclosed these truths, she gently placed her hands on Aditya’s shoulders, locking eyes with him. “The most horrifying part of all this,” she went on, her voice trembling, “is that Sasha is destined to perish once she reaches the age of fifty, a premature death sentence imposed by this cursed condition. And following closely on her heels, I will meet the same fate.” At this point, Lilith leaned into Aditya, resting her head on his shoulder and embracing his waist. Aditya turned his gaze towards Sasha, aware of Lilith’s intimate proximity yet too stunned by her revelations to react.

“Though I’ve had my fair share of life’s experiences, I’ve made my peace with the prospect of dying,” Lilith murmured into his shoulder, her voice barely a whisper. “But Sasha, my little girl… she still has her whole life ahead of her. My only wish is for her to be free of this curse, to live a life full of joy and happiness. Please, Aditya, would you consider marrying my daughter? Grant her the chance at the normal life she deserves.” Her plea hung in the air, laden with despair and hope.

“Seems like I’ve just found another reason to take you as my wife,” Aditya declared, turning his gaze toward Sasha with a warm, affectionate smile. He had already found himself helplessly drawn to this enigmatic woman, feeling the stirrings of deep romantic interest.

However, Sasha promptly retorted, “I have no intention of becoming your wife!” She snorted dismissively, her cheeks flushed with annoyance as she deliberately averted her eyes from Aditya’s intense gaze.

Aditya caught sight of Lilith’s sympathetic smile. It was clear to him that she too understood her daughter’s headstrong nature and acknowledged how challenging it could be to shift Sasha’s determined mindset once she had made up her mind.

Yet, undeterred, Aditya chuckled and playfully quipped, “Well, I have a thing for fiery spirits.” His voice was filled with warmth and a hint of mischief. His words were simple, but they held an underlying promise that he wasn’t going to give up on Sasha, not now, not ever.

“Could we perhaps have a moment alone?” Aditya gently proposed to Lilith, his gaze locked onto Sasha’s. His intent was clear – he wanted an opportunity to connect with the headstrong Sasha, hoping to somehow ease the tension between them.

However, Lilith immediately retorted, “Please, don’t call me ‘aunty’.” She lightly pressed her index finger onto his lips, effectively silencing him.

She then leaned in, her ample chest pressed provocatively against his, her lips hovering just inches from his ear. In a soft whisper, she suggested, “You can call me ‘Mother-in-law’, or even Lilith if you’re more comfortable with that.” Aditya couldn’t help but realize her deliberate efforts to heighten the physical closeness between them.

As he grappled with her seductive charm, Aditya couldn’t help but internally acknowledge the unique allure of a Succubus Empress. Her allure was subtle but powerful, tempting him into forbidden territory. He found himself struggling to maintain control over his thoughts and emotions, caught in her intoxicating web of attraction. Any other man in his place would have been undoubtedly spellbound by her allure. But the most alarming realization was that Lilith wasn’t even actively trying to charm him – this was simply her natural aura. Aditya couldn’t begin to imagine how irresistible she could be if she were to consciously use her seduction skills.

Upon Aditya’s request, Lilith, with a knowing smile, faded into the shadows of the surrounding forest, leaving the pair alone. Sasha could feel her heart thudding against her chest as Aditya began to move towards her. A mix of fear, anticipation, and uncertainty fluttered in her stomach. “Wh….What do you want?” she asked, attempting to keep her voice steady and cold.

However, before she could fully react, Aditya swiftly pushed Sasha down onto the soft grassy ground beneath them. Caught completely off guard, Sasha gasped as she landed on her back with a soft thud, the cool earth below contrasting the heat radiating from her body. Aditya then gently positioned himself on top of her, his strong arms framing her head and keeping her in place.

The close proximity to Aditya made Sasha’s heart beat even faster. Nervousness and a spark of excitement gripped her. Subconsciously, her thighs rubbed together, a telltale sign of her agitation. Sasha could feel her cheeks flushing as Aditya’s face hovered a few inches above hers.

The world around them seemed to come to a standstill as Aditya paused, their faces just inches apart. His piercing blue eyes met her deep black ones, holding her gaze. There was a level of intensity in his eyes that she had never seen before. It was as if he was trying to communicate his intentions without uttering a word. Sasha found herself lost in his eyes, her breath hitching in her throat.

Breaking the silence, Aditya declared in a seductive whisper, “From this moment forward, you are mine, Sasha. You are my wife.” His warm breath brushed against her sensitive ear, sending a shiver down her spine. The soft rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of crickets were the only sounds in the otherwise silent night. The glow from the moon above cast a romantic hue over them, adding to the enchantment of the moment. The universe seemed to have conspired to make this moment unforgettable. The intensity of the situation and the passionate declaration left Sasha speechless, her eyes widening in surprise, and maybe, just maybe, a hint of delight.

The silence that followed his passionate declaration seemed to stretch out into eternity. Sasha, after regaining some of her composure, averted her eyes and mustered up enough courage to reply, “I refuse. Now, let me go.” Her voice was barely a whisper, a soft defiance, but she didn’t make an attempt to physically escape his hold. It was as though she was caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, too overwhelmed to act.

Aditya, undeterred, gently placed his hand under her chin, tilting her face to look back at him. “This week, you’ve been quite the handful, Sasha. You’ve filled my days with endless worries and sleepless nights. It’s high time you were held accountable for all the trouble you’ve caused,” he said, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. As he finished his words, he leaned in, pressing his lips against hers.

Overwhelmed by a mixture of shock, surprise, and an unfamiliar but pleasant warmth spreading through her, Sasha opened her eyes to look at Aditya. It took a moment for her to process what was happening. Seeing his eyes closed, fully immersed in the kiss, the last remnants of her resistance seemed to melt away.

A sensation she had never experienced before blossomed within her, causing her heart to pound in her chest like a wild drum. She slowly closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, returning the kiss. The taste of him, the feeling of his arms wrapped around her, everything was new, exciting, and breathtaking. This was her first kiss, a special milestone, and in that moment, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of deep connection with Aditya. It was a kiss that Sasha would remember for the rest of her life – her first taste of romantic love.
