Zeruel's POV
"W-W-W-What did you just say…?" I somehow managed to squeak out, my voice trembling like a leaf in a storm.
Did I… Did I really hear that right?
Was this woman—this absolutely unpredictable lunatic—actually inviting me to… to have sex? Together? With her and Leon?
W-What… What in the world was happening?!
My heart pounded like a hammer against my chest, the rhythm irregular and frantic, as though my body couldn't decide whether to pass out or keep running.
My cheeks were flushed with so much heat I felt like steam might just pour out from my ears.
Then it happened.
My brain betrayed me.
Against my will, vivid images flickered through my mind—me and Leon, together. Close. Intimate. And—oh no—I didn't hate it. No, in fact, it made something tighten deep inside my stomach. Leon had always been someone I was grateful to. The person who helped bring back our mother, someone who was there when no one else could be.
But with her too?!
