Chapter 123: Stare into space
A smirk played across Damon's lips, his eyes dancing with amusement as he nodded in acceptance of my rejection.
"Fine, have it your way," he replied as he took a step back, his hands sliding back into his pockets
The silence that stretched between us was punctuated only by the soft, rhythmic sound of our footsteps, the air thick with unspoken tension as we navigated the hallways of the house.
And then, as we rounded a corner, the faint strains of music filtering through the air, Damon broke the silence, his voice low and conversational as he spoke.
"So, what did you get up to while you were waiting for us to finish up?" he asked, his eyes flicking towards me as he cast a sidelong glance in my direction
As Damon's question lingered in the air, I felt a subtle shift in my demeanor, my smile widening into a smirk as I silently relished the irony of the situation.
I couldn't exactly tell him that I had found a more than willing partner to spend the time with, our carnal adventures unfolding in a passionate, frenzied dance that had left me exhausted and spent.
Instead, I merely shrugged, my voice nonchalant as I replied. I did what I do when I'm usually stuck in the room with you, stare into space.
Damon's amusement was audible in the snigger that escaped his lips, the sound mingling with the quiet thud of our footsteps as we continued down the hallway.

With the day's events finally at an end, I found myself sinking into the softness of my bed, the exhaustion of the day's exertions weighing heavily on my limbs. It was time to see how much lust points I added.

I immediately transferred some of the list points to my strength, making it 55. The increase was noticeable, a subtle surge of energy thrumming through my veins as I flexed my muscles, testing the newfound strength that I had gained through my carnal exploits.
I transferred more to my speed, making it 50.
And just like that, my speed increased, the newfound swiftness thrumming through my veins as I shifted my weight, the sensation of quickness palpable as I tested my movements.
Then I moved the last of the lust points to my stamina, the digits rising steadily as the energy coursed through my body.
And as the remaining lust points were rerouted, my stamina surged, the resilience and endurance of my body increasing to new heights, the number ticking upwards until it reached 43.
With each enhanced attribute, I could feel the change coursing through me, a subtle yet palpable transformation

With the morning sun filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room, the sound of the door creaking open heralded the arrival of the maid, her footsteps soft and tentative as she approached the bed.
And as she stepped into the room, a small tray of food balanced in her hands, I turned to greet her with a warm, welcoming smile, my gaze lingering on her for just a moment.
"Hey, Luna," I said, my voice a low, drowsy rumble as I stretched my limbs, the languid motion betraying the fact that I had only just woken up.
Luna's expression was one of playful exasperation, the hint of a smile ghosting across her features as she rolled her eyes, her long lashes fluttering as she met my gaze.
My smirk remained intact, a devilish twinkle in my eye as I watched Luna's reaction, the banter between us as natural as breathing.
"Oh really?" I drawled, a hint of mock indignation coloring my tone as I leaned back against the pillows. "So you think that eye-rolling is a proper greeting for a gentleman such as myself? Perhaps I should reconsider my friendliness towards you.
Fine," she replied, her voice dripping with mock submission as she dropped into a curtsy, her arms fluttering in a dramatic flourish. "Good morning, Levi. May your day be as bright and cheerful as you are."
Rising from the bed with a graceful, easy motion, I sauntered towards Luna, my feet silent against the plush carpet as I drew closer.
"I really missed you," I murmured, my voice low and husky as I reached out, my fingers lightly grazing her arm in a feather-light touch. "It's been far too long since we last talked."
Luna's gaze held mine for a moment, her expression stoic as she processed my words, the dryness of her reply a thin veil for the amusement that lurked just beneath the surface.
"I'm sure," she said dryly.
My arms extended towards Luna, the invitation for an embrace lingering between us as I held her gaze, the earnestness of my words evident in the warmth of my smile.
"I missed hugging you," I repeated, my voice soft and sincere as I cocked my head slightly, the corners of my mouth curving upwards in a gentle, inviting smile
Luna considered my offer, her eyes darting between my face and my outstretched arms as she weighed the implications of accepting my embrace.
And then, almost imperceptibly, her gaze softened, the hesitation melting away as she stepped forward, her body molding against mine as she wrapped her arms around my torso, her head nestling against my shoulder.
"I want to kiss you," I murmured, my breath a warm caress against the skin of Luna's neck as I pulled her closer.
The moment I spoke, a chill seemed to pass through Luna's body, her arms stiffening against my chest as her muscles tensed in response to my words.
"Just a light one," I said. "A bare peck. Nothing more. I promise."
Despite my promise, Luna remained unconvinced, her eyes darting between my lips and my own gaze, the fear of the unknown warring with the pull of desire in her expression.
"If only you could see how beautiful you look right now," I said, my voice low and seductive as I leaned in closer, my lips grazing the softness of her cheek as I spoke.
"You would understand why I need to kiss you so desperately. Why I need to taste your lips."
My words seemed to work their magic on Luna, her muscles softening against my embrace as her defenses dropped, her head tilting up to meet my gaze as she murmured a single word.
"Okay."
I smirked and leaned in towards her face. Our lips touched in a gently kiss.
