Give Me A Break…

Ven saw how she teased him playfully and was about to follow his instincts. However, he still felt that he shouldn't take advantage of a drunk person, so he pushed her down and wrapped her with a blanket.

"Be a good girl and just sleep! Look at you, you don't even know you've been drugged!" Ven told her off gently. He knew immediately when he saw her that she was drugged with a succubus/incubus special drug since he was an incubus too.

"Drugged? How would you know that? Unless… You drugged me!" Ventina said cheerfully and innocently. It seems like she would become cute whenever she wanted sex or was drunk.

"Sigh… You're too drunk. I'm never going to let you touch alcohol ever again. Just sleep!" Ven didn't want to waste his time with her so he walked away after adjusting the blankets for her.

"Where are you going?! Don't leave me here… I have nowhere to go to…" Ventina tried to grab his arms but he had already walked away.

Knock. Knock.

A servant holding a cup of water on a tray was outside the door. Ven took the cup of water and dismissed the servant and walked back towards the bed.

"Drink some water. It'll make you feel better." Ven said as he gave her the cup of water in his hand.

"Did you put anything inside?" Ventina asked innocently, fully convinced that he was the one who had drugged her previously.

"Of course not! Why would I even drug you?" Ven retorted back.

"Okay! I'll believe you!" Ventina said as she took the cup near her mouth and continued in a low voice, "…only because it's you."

Ven couldn't hear her so he just ignored what she as mumbling to herself.

After drinking the water, Ventina felt better and started feeling a little drowsy. Ven saw her nodding off so he got up to exit the room. He had planned to give his room to her for tonight and he'll stay in other rooms in the meantime. However, his hand was grabbed on tightly, making him unable to walk away.

"Don't go… I'm sorry…" Ventina said in a helpless tone with her eyes closed and continued softly, "… I'm sorry for falling in love with you…" A single tear dropped from her closed eyes down her delicate cheeks.

Ven heard the now asleep girl's words and wasn't sure that he had heard her correctly.

'In love with me? Me? There's no way that's true. She must have mistaken me as someone else. I'm sure that's it. So why am I feeling hurt at this thought? C'mon, Ven. You just went through a heart break today and you're already feeling something for another woman? Give me a break…' Ven thought to himself as he couldn't bear to shake off his hands from the girl's grip. He decided to just sleep next to her on the spacious bed since he couldn't let go after all.

The next morning

"Yawn… Where am I?" Ventina woke up sluggishly and looked at her unfamiliar surroundings.

After looking around, she felt a warmth on her hand she looked at her hand and the owner of the hand she was holding. The muscular figure next to her was still sleeping defenselessly.

She bent down and lightly kissed his cheeks and whispered, "Good morning, my love…"

Perhaps Ven had felt like he heard some noise, he grunted a little, not wanting to wake up.

Ventina chuckled lightly, as she reached for his shoulders and tried to wake him up.

"Wake up! Let's go out for some fun!" She shouted into his ears, making Ven jump up, feeling scared.

"Did you have to wake me up in such a way? Don't you know how to wake people up gently?" Ven complained as he rubbed his still ringing ears.

"Little Ven! Take me around the demon realm! I want to know what it's like here." Ventina said as she got up and stretched.

"Stop calling me 'little'! Which part of me is little anyway? Look at my muscles! I'm also taller than you!" Ven retorted annoyingly.

"Hmm… You're younger than me?"

"But you act like a little kid all the time? Shouldn't I call you little Tina then?" Ven said as he also got up.

"Hey! Respect your senior! Anyways, do you have any clothes I can borrow from you? It seems I lost my suitcase yesterday…" Ventina pleaded.

"Fine… There are some female clothes in my closet. I'll get it out later. You go shower first." Ven said as he walked towards the closet.

"You have female clothes in YOUR closet?! Don't tell me… you like crossdressing? With all that muscles of yours?! Ewww… Creepy…" Ventina said in a tone full of disgust as she looked at him suspiciously.

"Idiot! There's no way I like crossdressing! Are you insane? I've ordered for the servants to bring them in for you!" Ven shouted angrily as he pushed her into the bathroom so he didn't need to respond to her teasing.
