"Stop reading, you can read anytime."
Both are reclining on the couch, with Serene Will on top of him reading a book.
"I want to sleep, those women drained me before coming here, I'm tired."
"..."
His words are quite annoying, thinking that she is in the same position as those women. Even so, she sets the book aside and hugs him.
"Don't talk like that, if you were another man, I wouldn't have let you say that to my face."
Lawrence smiles and carelessly strokes her behind.
"But you're also my woman, aren't you?"
"If you're waiting for an answer, you won't get one."
Time has passed, the original Serene Will would have attacked him with murderous intent if she heard Lawrence mocking her current state. But today, everything is different. She has heard countless dirty words from Lawrence every time they make love, that she has come to accept them as long as they come from him.
Because in bed, every time he said those words, she just felt more pleasure. She became a vulgar woman just for him.
But if asked, she will say she is happy. Lawrence is the only one with whom she can be herself, forgetting for a moment the world she lives in.
"Rest, I'll wake you when you need to leave."
Serene Will quietly watches him close his eyes and seconds later, he falls asleep. She blinks as little as possible to watch him for as long as she can.
"Wake up."
"Ouch, why do you always wake me up with a hit?"
She's never been a woman to express all her emotions on her face, but with Lawrence, she has learned to be a more honest woman, often seen smiling.
"I love you."
She doesn't remember when he stopped saying goodbye, always parting with an . As if it wasn't really a goodbye, but a brief moment apart.
Lawrence leaves Serene Will's residence, and just as he is about to close the door, he hears a reply from her.
"I love you too."
He opens his eyes in surprise, but then smiles and waves his hand.
"See you tomorrow."
Only then does he close the door.
As he walks away from Serene Will's house, Lawrence laughs heartily, unrestrained.
"That woman fell for it completely! Hahaha!"
It took a year and four months for the arrogant bitch to become a lovestruck maiden, although by this point, she is nothing of a maiden, just a woman who fell for Lawrence's deceit.
"The time has come, there must be no mistakes."
+++
"Serene Will, do you love me?"
"Yes, I love you."
A woman like her never lies about such things, she's very straightforward once she's made up her mind to do something. Yesterday, it was hard for her to say those words to Lawrence, to the point that she could only say them when he was about to leave, but today is different. Once said, they are easier to repeat.
"If that's the case, then let's get out of here."
Serene Will looks at him in astonishment. "Huh? What are you saying?"
"I know a way for you to leave without anyone discovering you, one that no one has tried before. It's different from the legal method because if we followed that, then you--"
"Silence, let's not talk about this anymore."
A long time ago, Serene Will discovered the function of the dao protectors in this brothel. It is because of them that many of the women remain in this place, even though they can leave at any time, even if it means...
She is foolish for being the same as the rest, but she is happy in the present.
She releases her hands and turns her back to him. "If you keep bringing up the same conversation, then one of these days, I'll quit this job. That way, my actions won't affect you in any way."
Lawrence sighs and then gets up from his seat.
"Tomorrow I'll bring you proof convincing enough for you to believe me, don't do anything stupid until then."
He leaves the residence, and Serene Will tightens her own arms, leaving the marks of her nails on them. She fears something might happen to Lawrence for being reckless, this conversation should never have arisen.
The next day arrives and someone is heard knocking on her door.
"Lawrence!"
Serene Will hasn't been calm since she saw him leave yesterday, seeing him again is reassuring, nothing happened to him.
"Let's go inside, the thing I brought will be very entertaining. You won't be able to resist becoming addicted once you try it."
In the living room, Lawrence takes out the item he boasted about from his storage ring. Upon seeing it, she swallows hard.
"A forbidden item... But how did you manage to bring it in?"
"I have my ways, I told you yesterday. Come on, put it on, and find out for yourself if it's real or not."
"..."
What Lawrence is holding is none other than a succubus crest. A disposable magic artifact that, upon contact with a woman, can turn her into a lustful woman, along with many other side effects.
This is a prohibited item at the Unquenchable Fire Brothel. It would slowly deteriorate the quality of the prostitutes, reducing the product's lifespan and consequently, lower profits.
Knowing all this, she holds the item in her hands. "Except for me, no other woman would accept trash like you."
Serene Will may love him a lot, but her vocabulary towards him remains the same as before. Snorting, she inserts the succubus crest into his neck. The next second, a tattoo in the shape of a collar appears on his neck.
"I don't feel any change."
"Come here, let me touch you to see if it works."
She sits on Lawrence's lap and allows him to do whatever he wants.
"Nnnnghooh! Higuuh!"
"I only squeezed your nipples and look how you reacted, this is going to be a very fun day."
From that moment on, Serene Will accepts being the toy of a man, of Lawrence. Her pride vanished without a trace, and all of Lawrence's actions were a gift from heaven for her.
It's not until two hours later that the effect disappears, although she remained conscious throughout the act, she now finds herself exhausted on her bed. Her face, hair, and crotch are covered in semen.
"These energizing pills aren't bad at all."
Lawrence came prepared for this day, knowing what would happen, so he bought energizing pills in advance to fully enjoy this day.
"Go take a shower, you stink."
He spanks her, leaving the imprint of his hand on her soft skin.
"Whose... fault... do you think... it is?"
He smiles at her anger, blowing a kiss into the air. Serene Will bites her lips and silently gets up from the bed and heads to the bathroom.
In the bathtub, Serene Will covers her face with her hands, unable to believe how many depraved things she did because of the succubus crest. The worst part is that it felt so good, she internally wishes it could happen again.
"How could such a forbidden item enter this place? Could it be... Is there a possibility?"
The water in the tub heals all her marks and removes any foreign agents. Therefore, the spankings and other actions from Lawrence left no trace on her soft skin. Even the foul-smelling liquid that covered her body disappears without a trace.
After getting out of the bath naked, she changes clothes in front of Lawrence. He had already bathed before her, so there was no trace of what had happened earlier.
"You will leave with me, and I won't take no for an answer."
Serene Will sits beside him and rests her head on Lawrence's shoulder. "Promise me that..."
After hearing her words, Lawrence nods. "Alright, I promise you."
He strokes her head, and she feels at peace. Whatever the outcome, she will get what she desires.
"Answer me something."
Then an object appears in Lawrence's hand. Serene Will's breath catches, her heart starts beating rapidly.
"Outside, will you still be mine?"
A tender smile appears on her face and she extends her hand. "I will be yours forever."
A ring slides onto her left ring finger, and as Lawrence finishes putting it on, Serene Will smiles and cries without knowing why.
However, Lawrence smiles with a different meaning than hers.
Because he will never wear a ring on his ring finger, only she will have one.
