‘...’

The trembling of my body had only slightly decreased despite the fact that I had spent the last 53 hours basking in Chloe’s smell. For the first time in just over 2 months, I washed, fed and looked after myself like a normal, capable human.

My eyes fluttered open. I put on the suit Nicholas had prepared for me and sprayed the cologne on my wrists. Dabbed my neck with the liquid while using the window as a mirror.

I loosened the tie and undid the first couple of buttons of the shirt. I slicked my messy hair back for now as I planned to ruffle it up later on. Satisfied with how it currently looked, I double-checked on the cake covered with a thin piece of glass.

‘Good.’

I placed the new lavender and reverie extract underneath the pillow while placing the other one beside the bed frame, just in case I messed up somehow.

The vase containing the assortment of reverie sat in the corner of the room where I always used to sit. Everything was ready, it was go time.

Right now, Chloe was still in a meeting with those other nobles, and that’s exactly what I wanted. I tapped my cheeks before opening the door.

‘Let’s do this.’

***

I, unfortunately, bumped into Mildred on the way to the 3rd floor, and her nose started bleeding. She rushed away without saying a word, which worked out better for me in the end.

I came across Camille waiting outside of Cedric’s bedroom. She had a deep flush on her face and played with her fingers for some time before mustering up the courage to knock on his door.

Once she noticed me, she dashed away after giving me a quick compliment. Considering how she acted before, it was rather surprising that Camille was such a shy person when it came to those types of interactions.

Anyway, I finally reached the wide pathway to Chloe’s office that was blocked by Nicholas. His eyes curved upwards along with his mouth as he wiped a few happy tears away.

“Master Shun... You can do it if you try.”

He clapped, pleased with my current attire, as I scoffed inwardly at his remark.

“Nicholas, I’m heading in.”

“My lady is in an important meeting. Please wait, Master Shun.”

“She is your lady, but she’s my woman.”

‘Disgusting.’

I squirmed inwardly at the revolting words coming out of my mouth. However, they served their purpose well, as Nicholas stepped aside. His lips spread into a content smile and he bowed his head much deeper than before.

“As you wish, Master Shun.”

I walked past him and stopped in front of the two large double doors.

“Foo...”

A small breath left my mouth before my foot kicked open the doors. I ignored the startled faces of the dozen or so nobles sitting around a large table with Chloe at the head. I marched over to her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back towards the exit.

Nobles jumped to their feet, showing genuine rage at the discourtesy I had shown them. Their words didn’t reach me. I focused only on Chloe’s reaction: wide eyes, raised eyebrows, and a disgusting soft smile.

The slight flicker of her hand gave Nicholas the signal to handle the commotion I had just caused. He bowed his head before stepping inside.

I tightened my grip around her wrist as I took her back to my room. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. The cake and flowers were nowhere to be seen, since I opted to double back on myself and adjust their location one more time.

I closed the door behind us and slammed my hand against it. That action alone was enough to make Chloe look up at me with her large fuchsia eyes. A deep shade of red wrapped around the bridge of her nose while her soft lips parted.

“...You better have a good reason for what you just did. That meeting was very import—”

I ignored the seriousness Chloe had shown for the first time, opting to focus on the plan at hand. Fingers lifted her chin up; they silenced the words, trying to leave her mouth, and then my lips met hers. A slight tilt created a better angle for the folds of flesh to interlock around each other. My soft touch made her eyes curve upwards; it made her body not tremble but quake.

My hand caressed her cheek, pulling her a little deeper into the kiss. She panted, unable to contain the hot breath that occasionally slipped out of the gaps between our mouths.

Chloe’s arms wrapped around the back of my head; her hands ran through my black hair before she gripped it. I broke away from her, choosing to kiss her neck, which caused a loud moan to heighten the disgust I felt toward her.

‘...It’s enough.’

“Forget about that meeting, and spend the night with me here.”

Her lips spread into a bright smile as she nodded her head. Chloe pulled me into a deep hug, which I had no choice but to accept.

“This smell... You’re serious about me, just like I thought.”

She tightened her grip around me, not willing to let me go, but a minute later, she stepped back. Chloe stroked my cheek with a tender touch.

“Wait here, I’ll sort it out.”

She rested her trembling hand against the doorknob and tried to hide the extent of her blush from me. Chloe left the room, but once the door closed, I collapsed to the floor.

“Ugh...”

My body convulsed as I gasped for breath. The sound of retching echoed around the room while I struggled to resist the muscle spasms, forcing the food I had eaten up to my throat.

‘Endure it.’

I smashed my fist into the floor. The assault on my body moved to my mind, but that was more manageable. I ruffled my hair and moved the cake back to the table. Once I picked up the vase of flowers, I waited.

I waited for Chloe to return.

‘Be strong. This will all be over soon.’

A few minutes later, Chloe rushed back into the room. She shut the door behind her, only to freeze in place. Her hands rushed to her face at the surprise prepared for her.

“It’s for you.”

“R-Reverie?!... T-thank you...”

I stepped forward and tilted the vase in her direction. The assortment of the reverie Herb had given to me had a range of different colours.

“Do you know what the meaning of a rainbow is?”

The slight raise of her eyebrow was followed by a quick shake of her head. Blood rushed across Chloe’s face, darkening the shade of red present.

“A rainbow is the reminder of a promise—of hope that the world would never suffer the way it did at that time. While these reverie may not contain all the colours of a rainbow, it still represents my promise to you. A promise that the bond we share will only grow deeper.”

Chloe bit her trembling lip and pressed her hands against her eyes. I observed the faint movement of her shoulders before moving on to the next step.

“There’s one more.”

I lowered her hand and stepped out of the way. The reveal of a large cake made Chloe’s mouth drop open. Her eyebrows quivered as she examined her name written in bold on a large red heart.

“...You’re so sweet.”

Tears pooled at the corners of her eyes. I took that opportunity to place the assortment of Reverie beside the cake. I moved toward her and wiped the tears away before they could spill over.

Care.

Extreme care was necessary.

‘...Here comes the hardest part.’

I steeled my mind and kissed her neck from behind. My fingers slipped through the refined fabric, removing her outer garments with delicate care. Chloe trembled with newfound anticipation—excitement that grew with every piece of clothing that hit the floor.

Her underwear was the last.

Stripped bare in the middle of the room, I failed to hide the disgust that slipped through my act.

Chloe’s eyes bulged in response. She pounced on me, consumed by the warped desire of lust, but I was prepared this time. I spun while wrapping my arm around her waist, reversing our positions in the process as we landed on top the bed.

Her long hair lay sprawled out across the bedsheets, and she bit her lip. She extended her hands towards me as I peered down at her with pure hatred.

I gripped them both before pushing them above her head. In order to take control, the roles needed to be reversed from the ground up. I dived toward her lips that interlocked with mine in a frenzy. She broke free from my grip and ripped off the clothes I was wearing.

We were both naked now.

I forced her arms back down to the bed once more. We locked eyes with one another till hers half rolled back into her head. Chloe’s legs continued to tremble, not wanting this moment to pass.

“...You stole my first time away from me.”

I tightened my grip on her wrists, and blood spurted out of her nose as her excitement reached a whole new level. Watching her like this reminded me just how much of a sick weirdo she was, but what made matters worse was that now I had to take the lead in doing the act.

‘Damn...’

It was the only way to catch her off guard. I had no choice but to enter the junction between her thighs by choice.

‘!’

I noticed the trembling of her arms decrease, forcing me to stick to the resolve I had made, so…

I entered her core. Her body arched back before the twisted sound of pleasure pierced the surrounding air. That was when I disconnected my consciousness from the actions I performed.

We continued to engage in sexual intercourse. Her mind spiralled further and further out of control the longer we went on. Once I was certain she was out of it, I grabbed the vial underneath the thick pillows and popped it into my mouth.

I manoeuvred my tongue to lift up the cork; it was a motion I had drilled hundreds of times in preparation for this moment.

I had to be fast.

Another kiss muffled Chloe’s loud moans. The liquid mixed in with her saliva, passing down her throat while I put more force into the lower regions. Her eyes rolled back into her head. And the contents?

Swallowed.

I rushed to place the empty vial and cork back underneath the pillow. I slipped out of the junction in advance, bringing an end to the act of our so-called session of ‘love.’

It took a few minutes for Chloe to come back to reality. Her fingers that dug into my back loosened with time. I flopped on top of her, out of strength, while a soft voice drifted into my ear between deep gasps for breath.

“Tonight... Was... The... Best...”

Her body continued to tremble as she hugged me.

“Shut up and go to sleep.”

I had endured enough of her nonsense. All of my elaborate planning had paid off, but I felt so dirty it was sickening. Chloe giggled at my reaction while stroking the back of my head.

“It’s not so bad seeing you act like this. I love it too.”

I rolled off her body, and we both closed our eyes. It was unfortunate, but I had digested a small portion of the extract myself. Tiredness washed over me before I fell into a deep slumber.
