Why are you taking your clothes off?

Damin takes a deep breath. The Dark God is back. But, he can't go out and greet his God because he hasn't finished saving the Seer. Since this troublesome human's channels are cleared, there is one more additional step to complete the bonding. After just one kiss, he feels this exhausted.

The Seer opens her violet eyes. She looks around until her eyes meet his. He wonders if she can feel it.

"My spirit!" She sits up with excitement with her eyes. "I dreamt that we were making a contract."

"Did you forget that I am a dragon?" He feels more tired now. "A master-servant contract between a human and a Dema is impossible. A human can never be a Dema's master because they don't stand on the same footing."

She looks at him sadly. "Then, why did I see you in my visions?"

Her words make him incensed. "If you had seen me, then you already had an inkling. You should have stayed back at where you were and fought against your fate to live your human life. Why did you come to find me?"

She lowers her head, depressed. "I thought that you were lonely without me."

She always felt lonely without her spirit. In her visions, she always saw him wandering alone. So, she misunderstood that he wanted to find her.

Damin sighs again. He can see the ehr flowing gathering around her. The humans like her cannot directly wield ehr. She will die if he let her be. That's not why he accepted her as his mate. He takes another deep breath. He is only following a command.

"I am not your spirit." He decides to clear up things first. "You are my mate. It is happening for the first time after ten thousand years that a Dema has a human mate. If I had any idea, I would have avoided coming to this realm. I would have let my brother take the oath."

Deia can't grasp half of his worlds. Mate? Playmate? Does her spirit want to play with her?

"I have accepted you as my mate because the 13th God commanded me to do anything to save you." He removes the layer of his clothes one by one. "I have to complete what he asked me to do. I am doing this to finish saving your life. Don't think that I am ever going to accept you as my woman. I hate humans the most. You will share a part of my ehr, my life energy, and my physical strength. If you ever misuse it, I will break your channels by myself and send you to the Nihum spirits by myself. That's where the humans go when they come to our lands without the permission of the 12th god."

With widens eyes, she glances at the pieces of the clothes dropping on the floor one by one. She has no idea what Nihum is. But, she got the part where he said that she would be able to wield ehr.

"Why are you taking your clothes off?"

She is quite happy to see what she is seeing. She has never seen a half-naked man before. Especially, a handsome man like him. Though she is blushing and her heart is going haywire, she can't look away from his chiseled body. He can continue stripping. She wouldn't mind. She will never mind it in her life.

But, the contract doesn't require people to get naked. But then, she has never seen spirit beasts who wore clothes.

"To complete the bonding." He looks at the dumb woman in front of him. "Your body is already absorbing the stray ehr. If this continues, you will die after 15 minutes."

"Oh." So, he wants to make a contract to save her. Things are turning out the way she wants. She climbs off the bed and stands in front of him. "You are really going to make a bond with me?"

He must have exceeded the longest record of a dragon keeping his temper. This dumb human is his mate. Let's finish this fast and get away from her. Else, he might end up taking his dragon form to burn her alive.

"Yes," He replies curtly. "Don't misunderstand. I am doing it to join your channel with my core."

Damin just wants to finish the last step and get away from her as fast as possible. Is he the only one who is uneasy about the final process? Seeing that she is totally cool about the next step, he blurts out the question. "Do you have bonding experience?"

"Of course, not." Deia makes a face. "You are my first. But, I have seen the bonding process many times. I am not afraid of little pain."

So, she has some idea. This human is fine, but he is feeling nervous. She's looking at him with sparkling eyes full of expectations and waiting for him to complete the bonding. He is the one who is hesitating.

"Lie down on the bed."

She blinks at him. "Is it easier that way?"

Usually, it's done while standing up.

"It's faster that way." He looks away from her, realizing that she has seen it a lot. She might want to do it in another way. A tinge of redness appears on his face. "Do you have another position in mind?"

"I am fine with whatever position makes you feel comfortable." Deia lays herself down on the bed with a wide smile on her face.

He hates humans. He hates this shameless human girl the most. She's clearly boasting about having better knowledge about the bonding process than him. Damin climbs the bed. He presses his palm on the bed. His eyes glow brightly. Deia exclaims in surprise when a green magical circle appears beneath her body.

Deia is startled when he rips away her clothes. Do they have to be naked? She has never seen any bonding moment between a spirit and a human where human had to be naked. Maybe, they will have a stronger bond like this? But, he's still a man.
