“My, my, it seems I came at the right time,” Lumine sighed, a slight blush dusting her cheeks at the sight that awaited her right after exiting the portal that led her to Xiao’s room. “Makes me want to have you all to myself again.”
Xiao, unamused at the intrusion, said nothing, focused on drying his damp hair with a towel, his way of dealing with her presence at the moment, not missing her eyes fixated on his bare upper body.
But displeased by the silent treatment Lumine wrapped her arms around him from behind, letting out a giggle. “Can’t I visit you once more, Conqueror of Demons?”
“You truly are shameless.” He commented while letting out a sigh, finally voicing his thoughts out ever since she entered his room, his cheeks slightly turning red despite being long used to her attitude, and yet still surprised to see her approach him in the comfort of his own room.
Then again, he already knew what would come after, so he went along, no longer minding it.
“If you hated my presence wouldn’t you have done something about me? Wouldn’t you have told my brother about this already?”
As much as it killed him. She was right. He could have. He should have. And yet, he allowed this little game of theirs to continue.
What started with her being caught and confronted by Xiao with his spear pointed at her throat when she was in hiding, during a day she had her eyes on Aether. To her finding him in the dead of night to casually strike up a conversation and always asking him to keep their little rendezvous a secret from Aether, eventually turned into something rather intimate. From just a small kiss at the end of every meeting, to him being pinned down with her slowly trailing kisses all over his body, pleasuring him in all sorts of ways, without Xiao ever making much of an effort to resist, nor retaliate.
Needless to say it was somewhat embarrassing for the yaksha to find himself in such a compromising position.
He turned around to face her as the girl let go of him, towel now tossed aside, allowing the girl to lean in closer, her lips touching his.
Xiao couldn’t understand his own actions and feelings, always allowing her to get so close, and still always finding himself more confused by the actions and feelings of hers, like he was spellbound by her. Nor could he comprehend why the princess of the abyss, or rather Aether’s sister, would want any kind of relations with him of all people.
Reciprocating her kiss, one hand wandered to the back of her neck, removing her scarf causing it to drop to the floor, before wandering lower, loosening her dress in the process, while the other found itself tangled in her strands of hair.
“Impatient already?” Lumine teased, pulling away from their kiss, reaching for his waistband, gently tugging on it. “Has the Conqueror of Demons been conquered by his desires so soon?”
“Enlighten me Princess, why do you always seek me out for this?” Xiao asked in response, dodging her question.
“Because I feel like we’re similar, in ways hard to describe,” she replied, pushing herself onto him, forcing Xiao to take a few steps back before he found himself trapped between her and the door behind him. “Besides, can’t I worship you a little given how no one else does it?”
Xiao found himself at a loss for words. Unsure of what to say or do, unable to tell if this was now her dodging the question, or if she was merely teasing. If there was something more to her nightly visits, or what if there was little truth in what she said.
“Have you forgotten that I’m nothing but a slaughterer?” He questioned, despite knowing it would be nothing but a futile attempt to remind her. “I cannot guarantee that you won’t be next for all the threats you pose.”
Lumine reciprocated those warnings with a giggle not caring for what she was just told while Xiao’s hand reached for the door knob, twisting it and locking the door. “But you care about my brother way too much to even try harming me.”
Xiao was left to sigh in defeat. “You truly are cruel to use that against me.”
“Well I think you’re sweet for keeping my visits a secret from my brother.”
“If you are able to visit me often, why hide from him?”
“Oh can’t a girl have her own reasons?”
“So what if I dared to tell him now?”
“You’d have to explain what we’ve been up to,” She answered, with a smile forming on her lips. “Now wouldn’t that be awkward?”
Xiao clicked his tongue in response, the princess had always been difficult to deal with, yet deep down, that’s one of the things that made him feel curious about her, wanting to figure out how much of herself was real or fake.
As well as her presence or even the mere thought of her making him feel things he wasn’t used to, dare he say he found himself a little enamored by her, angering him in the process. To him she was like sugar, bad yet addicting for him.
Truly he must be losing his mind.
He could never forget that she was part of the abyss, how she was its ruler, however also the girl Aether had been looking for. And here he was, lying and betraying everyone including himself who opposed the Abyss Order. But could he really detest that she was the one who had taught him how to be a bit more selfish? Made him desire her more than he should?
Feeling impatient not wanting to wait any longer for an answer to her question, Lumine leaned in for another kiss, only for Xiao to quickly change their positions, now forcing her to face the wall with her back against his chest, instantly covering her mouth with his hand before she could voice her protests.
“Sorry but I cannot let you tease me right now.” He whispered in her ear, on high alert after hearing the sound of footsteps and two all too familiar voices approaching the door.
“I don’t think Xiao will be here around this time.”
“Surely he’ll be back soon.”
Xiao could feel Lumine tense up against his body when she heard her brother’s voice on the other side of the door, honey coloured eyes glancing back at him as he removed his hand from her mouth, still holding her against the door.
“So, what do you intend to do?” Xiao asks, still whispering in her ear, sending shivers down her spine, as he gently tugged on her dress that had already been hanging loose, revealing more of her bare skin.
A dangerous game. However it’s one she had started.
With a blush she couldn’t hide, she leaned her head against the door, allowing Xiao to continue with his hands.
“What about you?” She hissed back, still keeping that proud smile despite her face flushed red. “Don’t you have a guest waiting for you to entertain them?”
“But I already have a guest that I am entertaining right now,” Xiao replied, running his hand between her legs, “Besides, getting you to leave is quite impossible at the moment.”
He presses her against the door once more, and a knock is heard coming from the other side, with Aether’s voice checking in.
“Are you there?”
For a moment Xiao froze, worried if either had made a sound.
“He doesn’t seem to be here, maybe we should leave.”
Xiao heard their voices distance themselves from the door, and so he continued, slipping his fingers inside her panties, feeling how wet she was, rubbing and teasing her entrance and earning a whimper from her, much to her horror.
“Can we at least do it on the bed?” Lumine complained in a nervous whisper, pressing her arms against the door for support. But despite her protests, Xiao stayed quiet, leaving a soft kiss on the side of her neck, before biting the back of her shoulder, causing her to let out a gasp, as he proceeded to leave marks all over, making sure her scarf would be unable to hide it all.
“But I find it rare to see you so worked up, Princess.”
To prove his point, he slid his fingers inside her wet cunt, slowly thrusting them in right after, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, letting out a muffled moan.
“My my, I never thought you’d enjoy taking control like this Xiao.” Lumine mused in response, calling him by name for the first time tonight, her breathing starting to get uneven, legs shaking and still flustered due to their current predicament. And yet still able to find it within her to taunt and tease him, her lips still curved into that damned smile of hers.
That smile he was all too familiar with, paired with that smug gaze in her honey coloured eyes, always the same indecipherable expression she wore on her face whenever she appeared before him.
All he could do was imagine what she would be like beneath him, allowing him to please her however he wanted. And now was the chance to see through it.
Xiao wasn’t one for payback, no matter if it was petty or not. But maybe, just this once. For all their previous encounters, and for himself, for all his own desires locked deep down, he’d make an exception. Even if the guilt weighed down on his heart, this was his way of dealing with the Abyss princess in a way that would leave him with any sort of advantage over the situation. No way of turning the tables, and no way of escaping.
As unfortunate as it was, maybe he had to thank Aether for the opportunity.
Pulling her dress even lower, now hanging around her waist, freeing her breasts, allowing his free hand to fondle one of them, pinching and rolling her nipple between his fingers.
For a moment the sound of footsteps neared towards the door, before they retreated elsewhere and yet he could feel Lumine clench around his fingers, and Xiao wondered if it was due to what happened minutes ago, but he had to let out a rare chuckle, learning to understand the thrill Lumine felt whenever she had her way with him when it was inconvenient for him.
Or maybe as Lumine had pointed out, he truly might be enjoying taking the lead, unable to make any more excuses for his current actions.
Feeling his pants becoming more tight, Xiao pulled his hand back, causing her to respond with a whine, as he licked her juices off his fingers, before undoing his pants, freeing his hardened cock.
Reaching for the hem of her dress, and lifting it around her waist, he slid her panties to the side, rubbing her entrance with the tip of his cock, starting to get just as desperate as she was.
This wasn’t like him, he knew that. But she sure had her effect on him.
“Don’t tease…”
Xiao sighed, but complied with her demand, slowly pushing inside her.
His thrusts were slow, lazy, with no sense of pace nor rhythm, but it was already enough to get Lumine to let out quiet moans.
“Well who would have thought that you would seem to enjoy being at my mercy.” Xiao noted between pants, now gripping her waist, satisfied with how her body quivered in pleasure in response to his touches.
Lumine scoffed at Xiao’s words, her face red in embarrassment, and yet she still gave him a coy smile. “Don’t be conceited, I’m already pleased to not have to do all the work for once.”
“Then I guess I will be spending the whole night to get you to admit you enjoy it.” Xiao answered, his hand sliding between her legs again, fingers rubbing her clit, making her whimper. “Or you could always beg, ask me to give you more.”
Unbothered to increase the pace, he kept it up, enough to satisfy himself, and to frustrate Lumine. Receiving quiet moans from her that were already heavenly to his ears, but a part of him was getting greedy, determined to hear more, regardless if it’s her whining or begging.
For the time he’s known her, for the time they’ve done this during their nightly trysts, he’s always been at her mercy. Never seen her at the mercy of others until now, but certain he didn’t want anyone else to see her like this.
Ah… Since when had he become a little possessive?
Leaning in again, he nibbles on her ear, making sure he was slowly yet deeply hitting all the right spots with his thrusts, listening to how she’d moan out his name. Keeping the low volume, feeling her insides tightening around him and he could tell she was close.
There would be the feeling of satisfaction if she came undone thanks to him. But instead, he pulls out, looking at her frustrated expression as she turns around, legs still shaking from all the stimulation.
Xiao took a few steps back, taking a seat on his bed, his amber eyes never leaving her honey coloured ones, trying to keep a neutral expression on his face. “I thought I should stop, since you never told me that you enjoyed it.”
She glared at him as she slowly walked towards him, stepping out of her dress in the process, before she lowered herself to his eye level, giving him a soft kiss.
“Do you expect me to seduce you so you would continue?” she asks, cocking her head to the side, kneeling down between his legs, her fingers gently taking hold of his hardened cock, covered in her juices, giving it a few strokes, and he lets out a quiet groan. “Do I have to tempt you more?”
She tucked a few hair strands behind her ear as she licked the precum off the tip. “If I didn’t know any better, you seem to like it when I suck you off.”
“I do.” he admits, a light blush adorning his cheeks when he did, running his hand through her hair. “Merely because it keeps your lips preoccupied.”
The girl lets out a giggle at his answer, while keeping her gaze on him, as she wraps her lips around his length, taking as much as she could, using her hands when it wasn’t enough. With Xiao feeling more daring, he gently tugged on her golden locks, watching her eyes slightly clouded with lust go wide in surprise.
He had come to trust her enough to allow her to give him head, finding himself enjoying the pleasure it brought, even if it meant relinquishing any control he had. But having her on her knees, along with them switching things up for the night, may have unlocked more than what had already been revealed throughout the night.
She starts to bob her head up and down, sticking to a slow pace, leaving him to respond by tightening his hold on her hair, frustrated despite knowing it was payback for earlier, so again he tugs her hair, making her consume more of him.
Letting go of his cock to catch some air, a heavy sigh escapes her. “Between you and me I always thought I was the more impatient one here.”
“Well I wonder who’s fault that is?” Xiao replied, his hands never leaving her hair.
“Oh my, then allow me to apologize for my influence.” She said with a smile, and she drags her tongue from the base to the tip, earning a groan from him, before dipping her head down, again wrapping her lips around him, this time increasing the pace.
His breathing would get more heavier, occasionally letting out a few deep moans, his face now flushed in a deeper shade of red, more desperate than before, replacing his gentle tugs with slightly harsh pulls on her hair, surprising her once more.
But welcoming that surprise, she lets out a hum, sending vibrations down his cock, to which he reciprocates by forcing her to take more of him until his cock hits the back of her throat, occasionally feeling how her teeth dangerously raked against his cock as he continued taking more control from her.
His climax came soon after, and he held back a moan, watching as she swallowed all of his cum. Silently observing her when she pulls back, her messy hair being the first thing he took note of, leaving him to let out a chuckle realizing it was his fault.
“Sorry… Was that too much?” He quietly muttered, hiding a smile, enjoying the rare sight of the Abyss princess on her knees.
Wiping her mouth and licking her lips she pouts, only for her lips to curve up into a grin right after while scolding him. “At least be a little more gentle about this next time.”
Standing up, climbed on his lap tilting her head to the side, cupping his face, a coy look in her honey coloured eyes, gazing into his amber ones.
“Say Xiao, don’t I deserve a little reward for my service?”
With that said, she trailed her fingers over his cock, and he instantly grabbed her arm, the other hand gripping her waist, pushing her against the bed, caging her between the mattress and his own body, taking it as her invitation to properly submit to his desires.
“I suppose you do deserve a reward,” he muttered, “But I wonder, how long do you think you can last with all I plan to give?”
“My my, isn’t this your first time doing all the work, why not take it easy?” She questioned, a teasing smile forming her lips. “I won’t judge if you end up getting tired before me.”
Xiao shook his head, ready to refute, but chose to stay silent instead, rubbing her folds with his fingers, casting his gaze on her to see her face red again, frustration evident on her face, providing him that little bit of satisfaction. He then started to gently thrust his fingers inside, confirming how wet her insides were, before pulling back to pump his cock.
He spreads her legs, lining his cock against her folds, plunging inside her, and he feels her clench around him.
“You seem desperate.”
“I do believe you’re to blame for that Xiao.” Lumine answered, turning her head to the side, a pout appearing on her face, avoiding his piercing amber gaze in what seemed to be embarrassment.
Xiao could only scoff at her reaction, thrusting inside her as a response, pulling out again, only to push back in. Keeping this up, relishing in her soft moans, whenever he hit those deep spots, his grip around her waist tight yet gentle at the same time, enough to keep her in place, yet not enough to leave marks. Yet.
His hand reached down, starting to slowly rub circles on her clit, and she tightened even more around him, so he leaned closer, sinking his teeth into her neck when she tilted her head to the side. And it’s enough to send her over the edge with all the little stimulation he gave her, making her come all over his cock, moaning his name.
“Satisfied?”
“I didn’t expect you to be so gentle in bed despite what you said earlier.” She muttered, softly panting, her face red, all while trying to collect herself. “Are you sure you’re not tired?”
“Don’t underestimate my stamina,” he warned, gently rubbing her sides, giving her that brief moment of rest. “We’ve only just started.”
Still inside her, his hand took hold of both of her wrists, pressing them against the mattress, keeping her pinned down, stuck with him until he was done with her. Switching from his soft and gentle mannerisms, to a rough and brutal demeanor, as he began pounding inside her.
“I just came—” She protests, choking out a whine as she was caught by surprise at the sudden change. Even if his thrusts still kept the slow pace from before, they also adopted a rough and deep rhythm at the same time, he could feel her insides clench and flutter around him.
She was a mess squirming while pinned beneath him, her honey coloured eyes still clouded with lust narrowing, as she glared at him, still sensitive from earlier. And yet despite it all he found her absolutely breathtaking, yet still unreadable, like a riddle hard to break down and solve. Finding himself always wanting to give her all the pleasure, yet teasing and drawing everything out of her.
“You don’t seem to be lasting long at all.” He comments, still pounding inside her, her legs now wrapped around his hips. “And yet you seem to want more.”
The girl shook her head, refusing to say anything in response to his observation, even if all her whines and moans were more than enough to tell him what he needed to know.
“Tell me Princess, are you enjoying this?”
Again, no answer from her. And Xiao takes it as an opportunity to pinch her clit this time and she screams, another orgasm crashing over her, with Xiao not being far behind, following right after her, thrusting deep as his cock twitched and spilled inside her.
Pulling out, but not releasing her wrists, he watches her panting, chest heaving, sweat clinging on her forehead.
“Hm, I think I like you like this.” He admits, running his thumb on her lips, almost leaning in to kiss her.
“My my, falling in love with me already?” She giggled, tilting her chin up, an invitation for a kiss.
“Do you want me to?”
Lumine held her tongue, and Xiao let out a bitter chuckle, unsure if he could handle hearing her answer, already finding their relationship so hard to describe.
Removing his grip on her wrists to cup her cheek, pressing his lips on her, going in for a kiss. Starting out soft and tender, before he pulled away, only to go back for another kiss, this time shoving his tongue inside her mouth, now a plea for permission to devour more of her.
“Do you want me to continue or are you tired already?” He asked, keeping his gaze on her, taking hold of her hand to kiss the back of her wrist, silently anticipating her answer before making his next move.
“Should it matter?” She questioned him, her lips curving back to her signature taunting smile. “You asked if I could last, so go on. I’d like to see you try and wreck me.”
Successfully egging him on, he flips her on her stomach, and she instantly lets out a surprised gasp that he ignores when he lifts her hips up as their mixed juices slid down her thighs, with her face buried in the pillow.
A position that unfortunately didn’t allow him a view of her face, but left him full control. Once again rubbing his cock against her folds for a few seconds, before he entered her without warning, his thrusts now set to a fast and rough pace, his grip tightening around her waist, leaving light bruises.
“M-more…” She whispered, her hands clinging onto the bed sheets and twisting them in the process, and Xiao wordlessly complies, increasing his pace.
It didn’t take long until she came again, screaming his name when she did, but Xiao still didn’t stop nor slow down, even when he felt her insides squeeze around him, noticing her slowly feeling overstimulated. Quite the contrary, he went faster, slipping his hand between her legs, pinching her clit again, and she came undone again, with him following right after, reaching his climax and burying himself inside her.
“Someone has gotten greedy,” he noted as he let out a chuckle, feeling the satisfaction for the previous times their roles had been reversed, fulfilling her little request to have him wreck her. “Ready to admit that you prefer this?”
“Try harder…” She mutters between pants, turning her head around to look back at him, smiling and still stubbornly refusing to concede to him. “Unless this is all you can do?”
“How demanding…” Xiao sighed, pulling out once more. “Make sure you don’t regret this.”
Maybe by now Lumine had realized she tested too much of Xiao’s patience, but then it was already too late. Their coupling continued, but Xiao went back to providing her the illusion of giving, only to deny her release at the last minute.
“Xiao please—” She gasped out, her release nearing, teary-eyed and sensitive as she continued taking him.
“Go on…”
She shook her head, and Xiao took it as an opportunity to use her stubbornness against her.
“Wait—” Before he pulled back she wrapped her arms around his neck, preventing him from pulling out. “Don’t…”
Who was he to deny her at this point?
How much time had passed, how many times the two of them had come, Xiao couldn’t remember, having completely lost track of it from all the pleasure. All he knew was how having her felt wonderful.
His back fully covered with scratch marks from her, their session ending with him beneath her, and an exhausted Lumine, now struggling to bounce on his cock, and Xiao thrusting up a few times, before the two came together one final time.
“You’ve really gotten good at this.” She commented, collapsing on top of him, burying her head in his chest, completely out of breath and spent, covered in bite marks that all came from him. Just as she asked of him, completely wrecked. A sight he found delectable.
“Did you use aphrodisiacs on me?” He questions, unable to comprehend how this was real, that he had been the reason for this, fearing that when morning came, all those marks would disappear.
“Now that would be boring.” She giggled, looking back at him, tilting her head to the side, her hand cupping his face. “Those were all your own desires you let out on me.”
If that was how it is, then it was already too late to regret.
Suddenly her smile vanished, and a rare serious expression was reflected on her face. “Say Xiao, I’m a nightmare aren’t I?”
“Is that what you think, Lumine?” Xiao replied, choosing to call her by name for the first time tonight, tangling his hands between her golden hair strands. “Because I believe you are closer to a sweet dream I want to devour.”
Maybe just this once, he’ll lay just some of his thoughts and feelings bare for her, too exhausted to hide anything more. Their feelings were mutual, seeing her being taken aback by his words, her cheeks turning a light shade of red, before she finally let out a sigh, leaning her head against his chest.
“A sweet dream huh?” She repeated, still not looking at him, staying like that for a few more minutes until she lifted her head to look at him, and for once he could say he was seeing her give him a genuine sweet smile. “Say, just for tonight, won’t you allow me to stay here?”
No attempts to tease nor seduce him, just her being as exhausted as he was, no longer bothering to hide it. How could he say no when he wanted her to stay just a little longer?
Without saying anything he pulled a blanket over them, wrapping his arms around her, prompting her to fall asleep on top of him, leaving him trapped for the night.
Not that he could find it in him to complain about it.

Morning arrived, and for a brief instance, the previous night felt hazy.
But the weight on top of him, was enough of a reminder, she was still there, completely messed up and marked by him, a similar state he was in thanks to her, proof of how this was reality.
Still asleep, he’d gently push her off, careful as to not wake her up. Leaving the bed to clean himself up, expecting that she’d be gone when he’d be back.
Yet to his surprise, she was still in his bed, still covered in his blanket, and he found himself letting out a sigh of relief, taking a seat by her side, keeping his eyes on her.
He couldn’t tell what had gotten her so exhausted to the point he could watch her peacefully rest in his room, a moment where he could see her so vulnerable and defenseless. A rare chance for him to weaken the forces of the abyss if he took hold of his polearm.
But somehow he couldn’t follow through, and he let out a scoff. Running his hand through his hair, his mind racing back to the night before.
He should be used to it by now, waking up and contemplating on the things that had happened between him and Lumine many hours ago, questioning his life choices and why or how he hasn’t put a stop to it.
And as confusing as it was, he somehow didn’t want whatever they had to end.
Whether it was because of her playing her games, or if something was bubbling deep within himself, he couldn’t tell anymore, it just made it harder to see her as the abyss princess. Leaving him to wonder, if under different circumstances, if she weren’t bound by the abyss, would there be less issues for the two to interact? Would their relationship be easier to describe?
Xiao could only shake his head at the idea, as if there was a chance for things to be different. Whatever their arrangement was, neither could really bring themselves to change anything.
Pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door, and Xiao quickly covers Lumine’s head with the blanket, concealing her from view, before walking towards the door to answer it.
“Aether?”
“Oh you’re back!”
The color instantly faded away from his face, if Aether took another step in his room he’d figure Lumine was in there.
“Are you feeling okay?” Aether asked, leaning closer looking worried. “Did I come at a bad time?”
Xiao wracked his brain for any possible response, unable to look back to check his bed without rousing Aether’s suspicions, while keeping him from entering further.
“Did something happen?” He asked, in an attempt to change topics, keeping his usual neutral tone, to which Aether instantly pulled out a small pouch, leaving Xiao with no need to question further.
“Zhongli asked me to give this to you.” He answered, handing it to him. “I wanted to give it to you yesterday but you weren’t there.”
Xiao gave Aether his thanks and awkwardly accepted the pouch, and then turned his back on him.
“Did something happen last night? Those scratches look concerning.”
He froze when Aether pointed it out, putting the pouch on a table nearby. “A demon gave me a hard time last night and therefore I was unable to get much rest after.”
The guilt and embarrassment were slowly eating him up, despite trying to tell himself that what he said wasn’t a full lie either… But Aether gave him an apologetic look, with a nervous smile plastered all over his face.
“I guess I should leave you then, see you.”
With that, Aether rushed to close the door, leaving Xiao alone in his room. And he took a moment for his heart rate to go down as he walked towards his bed, seeing Lumine pull the blanket off herself.
“My my, isn’t referring to me as a demon a bit too much?” She asked, back with her teasing and indecipherable smile, her soft and vulnerable demeanor from last night gone, as if it never existed, as if it were something he had just dreamed of instead. “Especially after calling me a sweet dream last night?”
Ignoring her teasing he looked away, to hide the blush on his cheeks, tossing the blanket over her head covering her once more. To which she responds by wrapping the blanket around herself, before she got out of bed, picking her clothes up and approaching him after. “I’ll return this to you soon. Whatever happens after, that’s for you to decide.”
“So is this your way of asking for more?”
She scoffed as a portal opened behind her. “We’ll see if you can give me a reason to do so.”
Maybe even for a moment he’s gotten a glimpse of her true self, but now he’s back to being unsure what their relationship entails.
