The faint sound of fabric rubbing against fabric came from outside the door, followed by the silent click of the latch sliding open.
Ilus felt a sharp jolt of alarm. She remembered locking the door. Eliana… how did she open it?
Ilus squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pounding like a drum. In such a perilous situation, all she could do was force her breathing to remain long and even, pretending to be fast asleep.
The soft mattress dipped slightly as Eliana sat down on the edge of the bed.
A familiar, faintly fragrant scent began to spread. She was very close now! She… she wasn’t going to do that kind of thing to her again, was she?
Ilus’s heart leaped. Upon remembering it, that stimulating sensation seemed to resurface, and her face gradually began to turn red and grow hot. Fortunately, it was nighttime, so it wasn’t easy to notice.
“Master~”
It seemed that when the two of them were alone, Eliana preferred to use the title Master.
“Even though you haven’t been feeling well these past few days, I… I simply couldn’t help myself~”
As Eliana said this, her voice trailed off with a quiver. If Ilus were to open her eyes, she would surely be terrified. The woman before her had long since discarded her gentle daytime persona; instead, she was like a Succubus with eyes as alluring as silk, radiating a soul-stirring charm in every gesture and word.
“Master, do you know? I feel like you’ve changed~”
Hearing this, Ilus, who was faking sleep, felt her heart tremble. She… she couldn’t have already discovered that she wasn’t the original Ilus.
If that were truly the case, she…
Just as Ilus’s mind was in a whirl, Eliana uttered another sentence that made her skin crawl.
“But~ I’m so glad you’ve changed~ If the old you was like a tasteless cracker, the current you is a fine delicacy. I really, really…”
“Can’t help but want to eat you up right now~”
The final sentence was whispered almost against Ilus’s ear. The girl could clearly feel the moist heat against the tip of her ear.
No, no, she really wants to kill me! Ilus’s body involuntarily tensed. If she could survive this night safely, she had to eradicate this demon!
“Sigh~ but I can’t take a bite just yet. The time hasn’t come~ It would be too much of a loss to eat you now. So~ I just want to come and have a little taste~”
“Since you’re sleeping so soundly, I brought some insurance. You shouldn’t wake up like you did last time~ In that case, I’ll start the meal~”
Endure it, Ilus, you must endure it!
In a blind spot of Eliana’s vision, a look of resilience appeared on Ilus’s pretty face.
Following that, the girl felt a trace of coolness brush against her cheek. It was the maid’s finger, gently brushing away the stray hairs on her forehead. Those fingertips carried an inhumanly low temperature, yet they ignited a shiver the moment they touched her skin.
Just as Ilus’s heart was about to leap into her throat, she suddenly caught a whiff of a strange scent. It seemed to be some kind of…
Not good! If she wasn’t mistaken, this was—!
Before she could think of a countermeasure, she lost consciousness.
“Is this really effective?”
Eliana looked at the Incense in her hand, her expression one of skepticism. This was a high-quality item she had specifically purchased from Magic Street that could force someone into an immediate Deep Sleep.
Of course, she wasn’t sure of the specifics, as this was her first time using it.
Consequently, Eliana was in no hurry to start. Instead, she unhurriedly pried open Ilus’s eyes, seemingly wanting to observe which stage of sleep she had entered.
When she saw Ilus’s pupils, which had already lost their focus, she felt a bit more at ease. Looking closer, the girl had even unconsciously begun to drool a little.
“Master, you wouldn’t show such an unsightly state if you were awake~”
Whether because she found it amusing or not, Eliana kept forcing Ilus’s eyes open. Gradually, the eyes that had been staring into the void began to roll upward slowly, as if searching for whatever was prying them open.
However, Eliana wasn’t worried at all; after all, these were just instinctive movements.
Now, no matter what she did to Ilus, the other party wouldn’t know.
Once she was certain that Ilus was completely fast asleep, Eliana’s movements gradually became bolder.
She grasped Ilus’s small head and slowly lifted it. Ilus had no ability to resist and could only allow herself to be manipulated.
In a state of complete relaxation, the girl’s jaw sagged due to gravity. One could see her mouth hanging open powerlessly, and her small tongue poked out slightly, making Eliana’s heart race with excitement.
Because her mouth was open, saliva from the girl’s oral cavity began to drip down her cheek bit by bit.
Eliana applied a bit more pressure with her hands. Perhaps because the stimulation suddenly intensified, Ilus’s eyes rolled up forcefully. This gave Eliana a fair bit of amusement, but this playful toying didn’t last long, because the part she wanted most was coming.
Cool fingertips slid slowly along the contour of Ilus’s cheek, grazing the pulsing vein at the side of her neck. They stopped at the fragile hollow of her collarbone, triggering a fine layer of goosebumps.
Then, her finger hooked the edge of the girl’s pajama collar.
“Master, here’s a fun fact~ It’s more comfortable to sleep with your clothes off~”
The front of the pajamas opened silently, and the cool air brushed against her skin. Even though Ilus was in a state of Deep Sleep, she couldn’t help but flinch.
Seeing her reaction, Eliana seemed to let out a light chuckle. Immediately following that, a soft, warm, yet equally cool kiss fell upon her exquisite collarbone.
Truly fresh and delicious.
Beautiful, tender, and youthful—this was a delicate body that even a demon like her couldn’t resist. A silly, infatuated smile appeared on Eliana’s face, followed by a hint of annoyance.
Based on her experience, this wasn’t the moment of perfect flavor. She had to wait patiently for the right time. When that time came, not only could she taste this delicious feast, but she could also…
As if she had thought of something, Eliana’s pupils instantly turned into vertical slits, filled with murderous intent.
Revenge. Yes, she wanted to… The maid who was stealing a taste shook her head violently, as if trying to fling the distracting thoughts out of her mind.
“I thought of something I shouldn’t have. Mm… let’s not ruin the appetite.”
After the demon muttered to herself, she lowered her head once more.
This time, she began to move slowly, like an electric current, stirring up waves of unfamiliar numbness wherever she passed.
Even though Ilus was asleep, her hands at her sides tightly gripped the bedsheets, her knuckles turning white.
“So beautiful…”
Eliana’s sigh was inches away, her breath fanning over the most sensitive skin.
“It makes me want to break you.”
The kiss fell on the pulsing vein at the side of the neck. The tip of her tongue traced circles on the skin unhurriedly. If she applied just a little pressure, the most delicious delicacy inside would gush out.
When that happened, she could… No!
Eliana suddenly straightened her body and patted her cheeks.
She had to control herself!
Thinking this, her gaze continued to move downward…
