The cat woman had fallen even deeper.

"Nux! Stop this!"

Rune shouted as Nux threw her on the bed. All this time, she was silent because her heart couldn't process different emotions she was feeling at the same time, however, the moment Nux brought her to this place and she realized that she was on the bed, she was jolted out of her thoughts and quickly came back to her senses.

Her first unconscious reaction after coming out of her reverie? Resistance.

She wanted to resist whatever that was happening or going to happen to her.

However,

Nux completely ignored her cries and walked towards her.

"Nux...?"

Rune blinked in surprised, this was the first time she had seen Nux act like this. He was playful, yes, but never once did this man force himself on her.

The current Nux felt... different.

Nux, not considering her feelings, jumped at her and,

"NUX!!"

Rune unconsciously closed her eyes as she shouted.

"..."

"..."

A few seconds passed by, but what Rune was expecting didn't happen.

"Nux...?"

She called out in an unsure tone.

Despite him acting different than normal, his name was still the first thing that came to her mind when she found herself in this strange situation.

Suddenly, Rune felt different.

She realized that the angle she had been lying on had changed, her head was now resting on something extremely comforting, and her white tail had already started waving nonstop.

"I missed you."

Then, Rune heard a soft, gentle voice.

A voice she recognized well.

She slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw were Nux's legs. She turned around and realized that she was currently resting on his lap, she glanced at him and saw him smiling at her.

Nux's hand moved towards her head, she unconsciously closed her eyes again and lowered her head, trying to move away, however, the instant Nux's hand landed on her head and he started playing with her hair, a strong sense of comfort washed over her body.

She wanted to keep her eyes close and just enjoy this overpowering feeling, however, the fact that this feeling was so overpowering was the very thing that forced her to resist it.

She didn't wish to fall, she didn't wish to lose her sense of self in this extreme wave of comfort, therefore, as unwilling as she was, she opened her eyes, looking at Nux with her beautiful green eyes.

Nux smiled again.

"W-Why are you doing this?" Rune questioned.

"Are you asking because you do not know? Or are you purposefully trying to act like you don't know?"

Nux questioned back.

Then, as he continued to play with Rune's hair, he spoke,"You wanted time, Rune.

I gave you that.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm I told you to take all the time in the world you need because I am a patient man but... It turns out I am patient of a man as I thought I was."

Rune blinked, looking into Nux's eyes that were shining with strong emotions, she felt lost.

"I am a greedy man, Rune. Everything that is mine should stay close to me.

And you, Rune Leander, are included in that.

Yes, I know bringing you here like this was wrong but I would never do something that would hurt you.

As long as you don't say it yourself, I won't make a move, that won't change.

Even right now, if you wish to move away, just say the word, exiting this world isn't difficult."

"..."

Rune stayed silent, there was a strange look on her face.

She didn't wish to move, this position was simply too comfortable for her to want to move away, but at the same time, she didn't want to stay either. She didn't wish to give Nux a wrong idea, she knew what he wanted, and she still hadn't made her decision.

Honestly, she hadn't even tried to think about this matter since it always made her remember her past and it pained her heart, she wanted to avoid it, but with now Nux staying close to her, avoiding this topic wasn't possible anymore.

This was the sort of problem she was stuck in.

She couldn't avoid it because Nux was here, she couldn't answer because she needed more time to think and she couldn't think because it pained her.lightsnovel

It was a torturous cycle she could never get out of.

But then,

"Of course, staying here doesn't mean you wish to move further, you can stay like this just because it feels good as well."

Nux's words echoed in her head and Rune's expression changed.

'That was possible? Could she stay here without there being any second meaning to it?'

"Of course, this service doesn't come for free, like everything in the world, you need to pay a price for it."

Nux's smile widened, Rune hadn't said a single thing for a while now but he seemed to be able to read her mind and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"W-What price?" Rune could only fall deeper into this bastard's trap.

"Your ears. Let me touch your ears and the tail as well."

"W-What?"

"I always wanted to touch them, so let me do it."

"T-That i-isn't good... we shouldn't do it..."

Rune tried to resist, in cat culture, touching ears was an intimate act, it shouldn't be done between just any man and woman.And Nux knew that well.

"What? You think lying on another man's lap inside a bedroom while he plays with your hair is something widely accepted by the society? You think what we are doing right now isn't intimate?"

Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face and Rune's expression changed.

Before she could think too much, Nux continued,

"We have long come away from what should be called society norms, Rune. Those things shouldn't bother you anymore. Just do what you want, do what your heart desires the most, As for the society, I will take care of that for you.

I will destroy the whole damn thing if it dares to bother you."

Nux declared and Rune couldn't help but tremble when she heard those words.

Many dared to say such things opened, but...

Nux was one of those few who not only had what it took to do it, he was also crazy enough to actually follow through without caring about the consequences.

However, despite him sounding so scary when he said those words, Rune didn't feel even an ounce of fear, rather, for some reason, another wave of comfort washed over her mind when she heard those words and suddenly, the answer to his deal became clear.

"A-Alright."

She accepted.

Nux smiled, without waiting, his hand moved towards Rune's soft ears and the instant he touched her, her body trembled again. This time, it wasn't just comfort, she felt a wave of pleasure she had never felt before.

A sensation she was completely oblivious to.

A Catkin's ears were their sensitive region, Nux, knew it well, heck, he even knew the most optimal way to take advantage of that sensitivity.

After all, he had hundreds of years to experiment it together with his wife.

He didn't hold back, continuously rubbing Rune's sensitive ears, sending waves after waves of pleasure into her body, Rune was helpless.

She could only tighten her legs, curl up and grab Nux's legs as tightly as possible. Seeing her reacting in such a manner, Nux's little brother twitched.

The prey was right in front of him.

However, he still couldn't move.

Rune was still unsure, and he also understood that her thoughts would never be sorted if he left it to her. Everything depended on him now. He needed to wash away all the foolish worries that were troubling this woman, he needed to clear her mind and only then, could he make her his.

And the best way to do that?

It is to make her realize that there are always things one needs to look forward to in life. Ruining your entire like because of someone else's actions was foolish.

Rune needed to understand her worth. She needed to know how important she was to certain people, she needed to know that not everyone was here to hurt her and... she needed to know that there were some people crazy enough to do unimaginably cruel things to the people who do dare to hurt her.

"Annh~"

The cat woman moaned in pleasure, she tried twisting her body to cope up with the pleasure, however, that didn't seem to work.

"W-What are you doing?" She questioned, her voice trembling and her face was flushed.

"What do you mean? I am only caressing your ears." Nux answered, his voice sounding like a gentle demon who came here to take her soul away.

His thumbs moved inside her ears, gently touching areas that shouldn't be touched by other men.

"Annhh~"

Another moan leaked out of Rune's mouth.

Unable to take it anymore, she woke up, distancing herself from Nux's thighs. Not wanting to give away the comfortable place, she decided to stick to Nux's body, just that this time, she got closer to her chest, making it difficult for him to touch her ears, however... She failed to calculate one thing.

With this move, her entire body was now in Nux's grasp and the man could do whatever he wanted to her.

The cat woman had fallen even deeper.
