I lean in, my lips brushing against her ear. "You're playing with fire, Geneva," I whisper, my hands sliding down her sides, pushing the remnants of her dress away. She shivers, goosebumps rising on her skin. I can smell her arousal, taste her desire. Her nipples perk up, ready for taking.

"I like the heat," she breathes, her voice barely audible. I chuckle, my lips trailing down her neck, my teeth nipping at her skin. She moans softly, her head tilting back to give me better access. I take advantage, my mouth moving lower, my hands exploring her body.

I can feel her heart racing, her breath coming in short gasps. I look up at her, my eyes meeting hers. "You're sure about this?" I ask again, giving her one last out. She nods, her eyes never leaving mine. "Yes," she whispers. "I want this. I want you."

That's all I need to hear. I grip her hips, lifting her up and pinning her against the wall. Her legs wrap around my waist, her arms around my neck. I can feel her heat, her wetness, pressing against me. It's maddening. I want to bury myself in her, claim her, make her mine.

I reach between us, my fingers sliding into her. She's tight, wet, ready. She moans, her body arching against mine. "Calix," she gasps, her nails digging into my shoulders. I smirk, my fingers moving faster, pushing her closer to the edge.

"That's it, little human," I growl. "Let go. Let me hear you scream." And she does. Her body convulses, her scream echoing through the room. I don't give her time to recover. I position myself at her entrance, my cock throbbing with anticipation.

I push into her, her tightness enveloping me. She moans, her body tensing. I can feel her barrier, her innocence.

I thrust into her, a low growl escaping my lips as I feel her tighten around me. "Fuck, Geneva," I breathe, my voice barelymore than a rasp. Her eyes widen, a gasp escaping her lips as she clings to me, her nails digging into my shoulders.

"Calix!" she cries out. I can feel her body adjusting to me, her heat surrounding me, driving me to the brink of madness. I've had countless lovers, but none have ever felt like this. None have ever made me feel this... alive.

I begin to move, slowly at first, allowing her to grow accustomed to my size. Her breath hitches with each thrust, her body arching against mine. I can see the pleasure building in her eyes, her pupils dilating as she loses herself in the sensation.

"You feel incredible," I growl, my hands gripping her hips, guiding her movements. She moans in response, her body meeting mine thrust for thrust. I can feel her muscles clenching around me, her body already on the verge of release.

I lean down, my lips capturing hers in a fierce kiss. She kisses me back with equal fervor, her tongue clashing with mine, her teeth nipping at my lips. I can taste her desire, her need, and it's intoxicating.

I break away from the kiss, my breath coming in ragged gasps. "Cum for me, Geneva," I command, my voice low. Her eyes meet mine, and I can see the challenge in them, the defiance. But I also see the desire, the need to submit, to give in to the pleasure.

I increase my pace, my thrusts becoming harder, deeper. Skin slaps against skin as her moans grow louder, her body trembling as she nears the edge. I can feel my own release building, my body tensing as I fight to hold back.

"Calix," she gasps, her body convulsing as she finds her release. Her muscles clench around me, her scream echoing through the room. It's more than I can take. With a final thrust, I bury myself deep inside her, my own release exploding through me.

I sigh out, deeply satisfied by my own performance.

"Little human," I whisper. "You've done a good job."

"Have I?" she replies softly, trailing her fingers along my sides.

I nod. Suddenly, a wide smile spreads on Geneva's face as a heaviness leaves one of my pockets.

"I'm glad I could satisfy you. You know I love to please."

"What are you?—"

She slides down onto her feet, and I realize that she's holding the amulet in her hand. Her eyes glistening, she gazes at me with a smirk.

Within moments, I know what she's doing. I canfeelit. She's taking my soul.

GENEVA

Iclutch the amulet tightly, my heart pounding as I watch Calix's face contort with fury. His red eyes blaze, and for a moment, I wonder if I've made a terrible mistake.

"What have you done?" he snarls, his voice a low, dangerous growl that sends shivers down my spine.

I take a deep breath, steeling myself. "What I had to," I reply, my voice steadier than I feel. "I'm tired of being a slave, Calix. Tired of being in debt to someone else."

His eyes narrow, and I can practically feel the rage radiating off him. "So you thought trapping me was the solution? You foolish girl, do you have any idea?—"

"I know exactly what I'm doing," I cut him off, surprising myself with my boldness. "I want to be free. Really free. And with you by my side, I can be."
