They came to take her back. Lucien made them stay."
Night draped the Crimson Sect in velvet silence, broken only by the rustle of wind and the hum of protective wards. But Lucien knew better than to trust stillness. Especially tonight.
He sat shirtless at the edge of the bed, one hand absentmindedly stroking Lira's bare thigh as she dozed beside him, tangled in crimson sheets. The moonlight kissed the curves of her body, highlighting the bruises and bites that marked where love had wrestled violence into surrender.
But Lucien wasn't relaxed.
His system buzzed.
> [System Alert: Spatial disturbance detected. Multiple Yin signatures incoming.] [Threat Level: High. Estimated arrival: 60 seconds.]
Lucien whispered, "They found her."
Lira stirred. Her eyes opened slowly. She felt it too—the air shifting. Her breath caught. "No... they actually came."
Lucien stood, calm and naked. "Three of them, right?"
Lira slid out of bed, body tense, naked but deadly. "Sisters from my old cell. They don't fail."
He turned to her, voice steady. "Then we make them surrender."
Arrival
The door didn't creak. It didn't break. It simply... opened.
Three women entered. Silent. Synchronized. Masked. Deadly.
The first was tall, with silver hair braided down her spine. The second shorter, lithe, a twin dagger wielder. The third walked with no sound at all, her eyes already on Lucien.
They didn't draw weapons.
They didn't need to.
Their mission was simple: recover Lira... or eliminate the threat corrupting her.
Lucien didn't flinch. He simply stepped forward, power and seduction bleeding off him like a second skin.

Lucien smiled, slow and dark. "You came for her... but found me."
One of them—the silver-haired leader—spoke first. "You broke protocol. She's bound to return."
Lucien stepped closer. "And if she doesn't want to?"
The leader blinked. Her eyes flickered over Lira—naked, marked, changed.
> [Emotional disturbance registered. Conflict engaged in Unit 01.]
The second woman—the wild-eyed one—breathed in deeply. Her lips parted. "His aura... it's addictive."
Lucien extended a hand.
"Then come closer. Breathe deeper. See what broke her."
[18+ Scene Begins Below]
Lira didn't stop them.
She stepped back, eyes locked on Lucien, knowing exactly what he was doing—and choosing to let him.
Lucien reached the nearest assassin and ran a finger along her jaw.
She shuddered.
"What's your name?"
"Veyla," she whispered.
Lucien kissed her throat. "Remember it."
He turned to the silent one next. Her mask was porcelain white, her breathing uneven.
"Remove it," he said softly.
She did.
A scar ran from her lip to chin. Beautiful. Real.
Lucien touched it gently. "You hide nothing from me now."
Then he stepped back and spoke, not with power, but with invitation.
"Join me. Let me show you what it means to be chosen."
They didn't resist.
They surrounded him.
Hands brushed his chest, lips grazed his shoulders. Clothes fell away like petals in wind.
Lucien guided them to the bed—Lira already watching, already wet with anticipation.
He laid the three women down side by side, then climbed over them like a storm made flesh.
First Veyla—sweet, fast to surrender. She gasped beneath his tongue, legs quivering as he explored her slowly, carefully, like unwrapping a forbidden scroll.
Then the wild one—Kiri. She bit him. Scratched him. Rode him with fury. And Lucien gave her everything she wanted, then more.
Finally the quiet one—Sera. She cried when he entered her. Not from pain. From release. As if someone had finally touched her soul.
> [Yin Harvest: Triple Connection Engaged] [Lucien State: Overload — All stats boosted temporarily] [New Skill Acquired: Incubus Domain — Area-wide seduction field for 60 seconds]
Lucien didn't stop there.
He used his clone skill—split once, then twice. A version of him kissing Veyla. Another driving into Kiri. The real Lucien making love to Sera like the world was ending.
They screamed.
They broke.
And when it ended—all four women lay tangled, sweaty, breathless.
Lira crawled forward, licking his chest, then kissing his lips. "They're yours now too."
Lucien nodded. "They came to take you. Now they belong here."
