Archdemon Empress Luna

*******************************

"From calling me a servant and treating me like nothing in this Realm to raise my status as your Archdemon husband? Where did all this confidence come from?" Ravin's voice was husky, but she could tell from his tone that he was on the edge of anger. "You called yourself my wife when your husband isn't around. So you really want to become mine?" He mimicked her gesture and tilted his head. "It will be easy for me to fulfill all your wishes. Just say the word that you unbind me from the contract and then—"

"No." Luna was uncomfortable at the sexual hunger stark in his countenance that it made her shift from foot to foot. "It's a slip of the tongue."

"Tongue?" He straightened and crossed his arms over his chest. "My tongue had sampled all of you, and I am finding the right moment when I could reveal all of our secrets to the Vampire King. Then, maybe, I would reveal it when the mating bond which kept both of you together would be weak."

She blinked, "Is this a threat?"

Luna shouldn't allow her familiar to talk this way.

Ravin bent his neck and leaned his face closer as he licked his lips, watching her mouth, "I would tell him about that particular memory where I licked you all over with my tongue in the Pleasure Room. Then, I would tell him I left you on the bed when you wished to sleep alone—naked, might I add. Then, I would tell him the Archdemon of Lust fucked you out of rage that you couldn't be his after an Archangel cut the soul thread which tied him to you." Straightening his posture, he flashed her an arrogant smirk, "How about that?"

Luna's mouth dropped open at Ravin's bluntness that she covered her mouth with a palm.

"You can't use what happened in Hell as your secret weapon and hang it like a noose over my head, Ravin. I already told my husband everything." She slapped a hand on his chest in her anger as she said harshly, " Anything you tell him will be useless because he trusted me that I am telling him the truth."

Ravin scanned her from head to toe, and it made her swallow hard.

The sexual tension was heavy in the air.

She would never allow herself to feel anything for this bastard.

"Did you tell him about the bathtub?" He asked, "When I kissed you, and you kissed me back?"

Luna averted her gaze and stared at the grass on her feet instead.

She let out a mental curse because she would never tell her husband that.

She had no excuse if her husband asked her why she did it.

To be honest, she was more afraid of her response.

"Such a tease, Amare." Ravin drawled, "Just say you want me, and we will return to Hell. Live happily ever after."

"Do you think I'm stupid? You never made me happy in your Kingdom, Ravin." Her anger was a monster with claws and teeth. Scowling, she jabbed a finger to his shoulders and said, "I'm not returning to Hell with you. I am not fixated on pain and torment."

"You will come to like pain. It will make you powerful."

"Bullshit. I accepted your help to get rid of the Angel dust on my skin before they sink into my pores. That's all." Breathing hard, she shrugged. "Don't make it seem like we did anything more than that."

"Your moans wouldn't sound like a siren's song to a devilish pirate like me if you think it's just me helping you, Amare." Ravin jerked a finger under her chin, and she swatted them away.

"Stay where you are, Ravin," Luna warned and his feet were planted to the ground.

She didn't like the man touching her when Apollyon was not there.

It felt like the ultimate betrayal.

The summer sunset had passed as Sloth continued to play the trumpet until the night, which led the bees to return to their colonies and store the nectar they got from the vast garden on the honeycombs as the mild scent of flowers filled the atmosphere.

The three beekeepers ordered the servants to planted tall trees around the hives to shelter them to from the strong winds.

Upon Luna's request, the ladies made themselves scarce after instructing Sloth how to deal with the bees in the apiary.

Luna had explained that it was the Summer Monarchs who gave Sloth the permission to manage the apiary in one day as a reward for winning the duel.

Believing her lie, the lady aristocrats obliged after her Archdmeon Familiars had swept them off their feet with their charm.

"So, how does it feel to make Princess Ourania suffer?"

"You don't need to know."

Liuna was alright after she was given the time to process her emotions and cry it out until it was gone.

Nevertheless, she should be more careful around the Princess, or else her husband will scold her for being careless and unfocused.

Luna needed to value her life more because she was also carrying their future heir inside her stomach.

"You really know how to play with my emotions, Amare. First, you told me I am familiar. Then you claim me to be your husband only to dumb me down as someone who shouldn't care about you." Luna began to feel strange when she inhaled the sudden aroma of the Archdemon's musk.

It was warm and exhilarating.

Masculine lust.

Luna's brain blanked, and her mouth watered.

"—and I want to care about you. I want to know if you are alright." He said quietly, "The roars of the waterfall might be loud, but I have intuitively picked up on your sadness."

"I a-m a-alright. Thank you very much." Luna recovered from her stutter as she shook her head to get herself together.

She stepped backward to get away from him,

"My husband cared for me. Unlike you, he didn't just ask if I'm alright just to butter me up."

"You wound me. Do you really think the Vampire King loves you, Amare?" Ravin abruptly hauled her in his chest, and she let out a little scream.

Before she could push him off, her husband grabbed an arm and punched him in the gut.

Apollyon had arrived.
