Chapter 729 – I Will Liquefy You
The morning came.
06:03 AM.
Lux's eyes opened without an alarm. No groan. No stretching. Just a quiet inhale like a disciplined demon checking his internal clock.
Incubus stamina might be endless.
CFO discipline was worse.
He lay still for a moment.
Naomi was asleep beside him, one arm loosely draped over his chest, hair a soft mess over the pillow. Her breathing was steady. Warm. Calm. Mortal.
He looked at her.
The faint marks on her shoulder from last night. The way her fingers still curled lightly against him even in sleep.
He smiled faintly.
No.
He wasn't moving yet.
For once, he didn't immediately sit up and review mental dashboards.
He just pulled her closer.
She murmured softly and pressed into him instinctively.
He buried his face lightly in her hair and let himself exist.
Not CFO of Greed.
Not half-Lust war negotiator.
Just Lux.
Forget the Celestial realm.
Forget Vaeloryn's blade.
Forget sovereign traces.
