Chapter 227: Stories of Past

"Hey," Lynx smirked, his hand sliding down to cup the heavy curve of her ass, pulling her tightly against his hardening cock. His eyes darkened with desire. "I told you... your pussy was worth way more than 400 H-Crystals. Way, way more."

Amira let out a breathless, husky laugh, her breath fanning hot against his lips. Her eyes were full of love and lust. "Damn right it is. You better remember that, god-boy."

She reached up, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pulled his lips down onto hers in a deep, passionate kiss. The kiss was filled with all the emotion she had been holding in.

The kiss was hot, hungry, and full of deep desire. Lynx pressed Amira back against the cool glass window, his tongue sliding effortlessly past her parted lips as his hands roamed freely over her voluptuous body.

Kneading her heavy breasts and pulling her hips firmly against his stance. The cold glass against her back contrasted with the heat of his body.

Amira whimpered softly into the kiss, her body shivering as the familiar, intoxicating heat of his Eternal Charm washed over her senses. Her fingers dug into his coat.

"Mmm... Lynx..." Amira gasped, pulling her lips back just an inch, her dark eyes glassy with passion. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. "They’re... they’re all downstairs... Someone could come up..."

"They can wait," Lynx murmured dangerously, his lips trailing down her throat, nipping gently at her sensitive skin. His hands held her firmly in place.

"No..." Amira giggled softly, her hands gently pressing against his chest, though she clearly didn’t want him to stop. Her resistance was playful and weak.

"If we start now, you won’t stop for five hours, and Isabel will come up here looking for us. Come on... let’s go back down. You can fuck me until I can’t walk late tonight when everyone is asleep. I promise."

Lynx looked down at her glowing face and her striking grey eyes, a low, rich chuckle rumbling in his chest. He gave her ass one firm, heavy squeeze that made her cry out softly before releasing her. His eyes promised he would hold her to that.

"Deal," Lynx smirked. "Hold onto that promise, Amira. I will."

"Oh, I will," she winked, adjusting her slip dress and smoothing down her hair, trying to compose herself. Her lips were swollen from his kiss.

Hand in hand, Lynx and Amira walked back down the grand staircase, returning to the vibrant, bustling atmosphere of the main living room. Their fingers were interlaced tightly.

The sun had completely set now, replaced by the warm, enchanted ambient lights of the mansion and the soft blue glow rising from the heated backyard pool outside. The pool lights made the water look like liquid sapphire.

Isabel was sitting near the center couch surrounded by Eleanor, Ava, Kira, Lira, Ophelia, and Eleanor’s squad. They were all sitting in a cozy circle with wine glasses and dessert plates, deeply immersed in conversation. The cake was already half-eaten.

"Ah, Lynx!" Isabel beamed, looking up as Lynx and Amira walked over. Her face lit up instantly when she saw him. "We were just talking about you. Perfect timing!"

"Is that so?" Lynx smirked, settling down on the velvet couch, pulling Isabel against his side while Lira quickly took her place on his other side. He was back on his throne. "What bad things are you spreading about me now? Should I be worried?"

"We were actually asking Lady Isabel about your childhood, Lynx!" Ava said with wide, curious eyes, leaning forward on her knees. Her curiosity was pure and innocent. "We realized we barely know anything about how you grew up before you awakened at eighteen. You never talk about it."

"Yes," Eleanor added softly, setting her wine glass on the table. Her purple eyes looked at Lynx with deep affection and genuine interest.

"You were afflicted by a curse at thirteen and survived for five years before awakening as the strongest teenage Blessed in history. What were you like as a little boy, Lynx? We all want to know."

Isabel let out a gentle, nostalgic laugh, her hand tenderly stroking Lynx’s arm. Her eyes looked distant, remembering the past.

"Oh, he was the sweetest, most stubborn little boy you could ever imagine. When he newly got inflicted, even when the curse made him weak and frail, he never complained. He used to sit by the window in my old house, reading books and stubborn as a mule, insisting he would grow up to protect me. He had that same intense look in his eyes even then."

"Aww!" Eira and Lira squealed in unison, their eyes shining with adoration.

"He really said he’d protect you?" Kira teased, nudging Lynx’s shoulder, her eyes sparkling with affection. "That’s kind of cute, handsome. Our big bad Champion was a little knight in shining armor."

"I meant every word of it back then," Lynx said smoothly, his system made sure he remembered all the past Lynx memories, well, it’s his memory, he could feel the emotions from that distant memory.

A warm smile touching his lips as he looked at Isabel. His voice was sincere. "And I meant it now. Nothing has changed."

Isabel’s eyes sparkled with deep love as she leaned over and kissed Lynx’s cheek. "I know, my love. I know. You’ve always kept your promises."

"Tell us more, Lady Isabel!" Layla urged enthusiastically, resting her elbows on her knees. She was completely invested in the story. "Was he always this handsome and shameless? Or did that come later?"

"Always handsome," Isabel laughed softly, her hand still on Lynx’s arm. "Though the charm definitely multiplied by a thousand after his awakening. He was much more shy before. Now he’s impossible."

As the women giggled and pressed Isabel for more childhood stories, a sudden, subtle ripple of dark, silky mana fluttered directly out of Lynx’s chest. The air around him darkened slightly.

It wasn’t hostile. It was a familiar, breathtakingly dark presence emerging directly from the deepest space of Lynx’s soul world. A presence full of love and devotion.

Because a demon could not freely walk the streets of the Aether Empire without causing public chaos or drawing too much attention, Nyx stayed comfortably inside Lynx’s Mind World. It was her home within him.

SWOOSH!

A swirl of deep, velvety shadows materialized in the empty space right beside Lynx’s couch. The shadows spun and coalesced, smelling faintly of night roses.

Within a second, the dark mist condensed, revealing a drop dead gorgeous woman with smooth pale skin, long midnight-blue hair that fell like silk past her waist, and piercing crimson eyes that glowed like crimson jewels.

She wore a silk white, form fitting dress that clung to her insane, hourglass figure, a dress made of shadows itself.

Nyx had materialized. Her presence instantly made the room feel more charged.

Isabel, Ophelia, Kira, Ava, Lira, Eira, Emily, and Amira didn’t panic. They smiled warmly, already familiar with her presence and knowing she was one of Lynx’s most devoted women, the most devoted after Isabel.

However, Eleanor, Layla, Iris, Rhea, and Nadia instantly froze. Their eyes went wide, and their hands instinctively moved to defensive positions.

Seeing a living, high tier demon pop directly out of Lynx’s chest left Eleanor and her four enforcers completely wide-eyed and stunned. Demons were supposed to be enemies.

Nyx let out a soft, seductive sigh, stretching her long, flawless legs as she materialized fully into the physical realm. Her crimson eyes locked onto Lynx with absolute, unyielding devotion. She only had eyes for him.

Without hesitation, Nyx stepped over and slid right onto Lynx’s lap, sitting sideways across his thighs and draping her soft, pale arms around his neck. She made herself comfortable, like it was the most natural place in the world.

"Mmm... it was getting so boring inside your soul world, my love," Nyx purred smoothly, her deep, velvety voice echoing through the cozy living room. It was a voice that could seduce the soul itself.

She leaned in and pressed a sweet, lingering kiss directly onto Lynx’s lips right in front of everyone, marking her territory lovingly.

Lynx chuckled, his hands naturally settling on her hips, holding her voluptuous frame securely against his chest. He was completely used to her affection. "Couldn’t resist coming out to hear my childhood stories, Nyx? Were you eavesdropping?"

"I heard Isabel talking about how sweet you were as a boy," Nyx smiled warmly, turning her head to look at Isabel with genuine affection. Her crimson eyes softened when she looked at Lynx’s first mother figure.

"Though I must say... I prefer the dominant, unstoppable man you are right now. The boy was cute, but the man is divine."

"Princess Nyx!" Eira giggled, waving at her from across the table, breaking the tension. "You missed the golden cake. We saved you a piece but Kira almost ate it!"

"Did I?" Nyx smirked playfully, resting her head against Lynx’s shoulder while her long dark blue hair spilled across his chest like a dark waterfall. "Then I shall have to taste it. After I taste my love."

Layla swallowed hard, leaning over to whisper urgently to Ava, her voice barely audible. "Wait... is that a demon?! She just came out of his body. How is she living inside him?! Is that even possible?!"

"And how does she look so calm around us?" Iris squeaked, her face flushing as she stared at Nyx’s incredible figure. She had never seen a demon so beautiful and so calm.

Eleanor blinked, trying to compose herself, though her purple eyes burned with deep curiosity and a hint of awe. Her Queen’s composure was being tested.

"Lynx... who is she? I’ve never seen anyone harbor another living soul inside their own spiritual realm like that."

Lynx grinned, tightening his arm around Nyx’s waist as he looked at Eleanor and her squad. His grin was proud and possessive. "This is Nyx. My woman, and a demon. Since she can’t exactly walk around the Aether Capital without the guards losing their minds and the whole city panicking, she stays inside my soul world. It’s safer for everyone that way."

"Inside your soul world..." Nadia muttered, her jaw slightly dropped before she crossed her arms tightly to hide her surprise. Her hazel eyes were wide. "You really are a monster, Lynx. In the best and most terrifying way possible."

Nyx turned her head slightly, offering Eleanor and her squad a smooth, welcoming smile. Her smile was surprisingly kind, "Don’t look so alarmed, girls. You’re part of Lynx’s circle now, which means we’re all family. You’ll get used to his little miracles soon enough. He collects impossibilities like others collect trinkets."

Eleanor relaxed her shoulders, a soft, graceful smile returning to her lips as she took a slow sip of her wine to calm her nerves. "I suppose nothing Lynx does should surprise us anymore. After today, I should expect the impossible."

"That’s the spirit Eleanor." Layla laughed, tossing back her drink as the lingering tension completely melted away, replaced by the warm buzz of wine and wonder.

Nyx snuggled closer against Lynx’s chest, enjoying the warmth of his arms while the girls laughed and continued their lively celebration late into the night.

The mansion was full of life, laughter, and love, and the golden celebration continued under the crystal chandelier.
