She served the bare minimum for herself as she was nervous. Sitting across from him, she pretended to eat.

He watched her as he bit into a large piece of meat.

Something hot sizzled inside her at his heated gaze, and it spread across her body. Her stomach quivered, and the tips of her breasts hardened with arousal under her dress.

She realized that the thought of seducing and then lying under the demon that night while he claimed her body wasn’t the only thing she was worried about. What made her absolutely furious and terrified was that she was drawn to the demon.

She didn’t want to crave the demon’s touch.

She hated thinking of him as anything but a savage demon who kidnapped and forcibly married her.

But she recalled his touch in the holy land tent. When he touched her, she burned with feelings other than hate and anger. His touch had aroused her and made her think of forbidden things.

It’s just desire.

Although she didn’t want to be attracted to the brute, she knew the strong desire would help her get through the night and the rest of the nights until she could make him do her bidding.

Seduce the demon.

She reached for the fermented drink and poured it into a tumbler. She drank it in one go. The sweet yet slightly bitter liquid left a trail of fire inside her throat and stomach, slightly relaxing her nerves a bit.

The demon continued to watch her.

She couldn’t finish the little food she had on her plate. Meanwhile, the demon had finished his large meal. She watched as he washed his fingers in the warm water bowl and wiped his hands dry with a clean cloth.

She immediately pulled the dessert platter closer. “Uma told me this is your favorite dessert.”

And she had no idea whether dates stuffed with nuts and cheese were his favorite or not. She just wanted to keep the conversation going and delay the inevitable.

The demon looked at her. “Feed them to me,” he said. “Take off your clothes first.”

She was shocked. “What?”

“That’s what you did in the holy land,” he said with a dark smile. “You took off your clothes, offered me the drink through your lips, fed me dates with your mouth, and then began seducing me. Repeat everything in that sequence.”

She was stunned that he recalled every moment of what happened during the night in the holy land tent. To her, it was a passionate yet terrifying blur.

Even now, all of his focus was on her, and his eyes watched her every movement.

Although she had decided to seduce him again, she felt too nervous.

The demon had seen her topless many times and even naked. But without ash on his face, his handsome face made her feel like he wasn’t her demon husband.

“Take off your clothes,” he commanded.

Anger grew inside her at his order. It reminded her that with or without the ash, the demon was still the savage bully.

She thought of putting off some lamps, hoping the darkness would give her the courage. But she didn’t want to show any weakness to the demon.

She raised her chin slightly, and meeting his eyes, she reached for the back of her dress. Despite her anger and resolution, her fingers trembled slightly. She tugged on the ties of her blouse until it loosened. Shrugging out of it, she bared her upper body. She tugged on the ties of her long skirt before slipping out of it.

His grey eyes darkened as they swept over her body.

The heated desire in his eyes gave her the confidence that her plan would work. Sucking in a deep breath, she reached for the tumbler with the drink and went towards him.

Standing on her knees, she took a sip of the drink and then leaned forward until her mouth met with his. When he opened his lips, she spilled the sweet liquid into his mouth.

Heat filled the pit of her stomach even though he swallowed the bitter-sweet liquid.
