The soft glow of moonlight bathed the room, casting a gentle shimmer over Lyriana's long silver hair as she lay on top of the red velvet bedsheet. In the dim light, her delicate features looked almost ethereal—her soft pink lips slightly parted, her flawless skin covered with light sweat was practically glowing, and her crystal-blue eyes hidden beneath long, fluttering lashes looked… mesmerizing.
She was exhausted and deep in sleep, her breath soft and rhythmic, her silver hair was a tangled mess from all the tossing and turning, some strands of her hair were stuck on her face, heightening her beauty even further.
"…Nux…"
She whispered, her voice so low that one could have easily missed it, even if they had enhanced hearing.
Well…
Not Nux.
He was staring at this adorable woman with his head supported by his elbow, hearing her talk in her sleep with a big, amused grin on his face.
"…So cold…"
Lyriana mumbled, shifting slightly, her fingers gripping the blanket as if reaching for something—or someone.
"I… I like it when you hold me… hold me tighter…"
Hearing those words, Nux's grin widened even further.
Indeed, the woman had been doing this for a long time now and Nux was enjoying every single second of it. While he knew Lyriana had the habit of sleep talking since he read her memories, but…
He never thought it would become one of his favourite things in the world, so quickly at that.
Lyriana let out the smallest sigh, her expression softening as a light smile appeared on her face, with moonlight falling on her face, it was physically impossible to look any more beautiful, the Ice Queen was no different beauty incarnate, especially when naked.
"…Don't let go…"
She muttered, tightening her hold on the bedsheets.
Nux could barely hold back his laugh. All this while, he had been waiting, waiting for the woman to wake up so he could grab her and devour her again, she was delicious, after all.
But now, he was having different thoughts.
He wanted the former queen to continue. He made himself a little more comfortable as he continued watching her, his golden eyes shining with mischief.
This is going to be fun when she wakes up…
A few moments passed, and then, slowly, Lyriana stirred.
Her crystal-blue eyes fluttered open, still heavy with sleep. Her vision was still blurry, she could still, however, understand that someone was lying next to her.
Soon, her vision cleared up and finally someone's figure cleared up. It was Nux, who was lying beside her, watching her with a smug expression. Still groggy, she blinked. Yes, her reaction speed was much slower than one would expect because of how exhausted her body was.
She yawned, stretching her arms slightly, unaware of the way her messy silver hair hid her face in a way that highlighted her features, she was… effortlessly beautiful.
"Nngh…"
She mumbled, rubbing one of her sleepy eyes.
Finally, her mind realized where she was and what was happening, she registered Nux's presence and her first reaction was…
"…Huh?"
She blinked, this time, it wasn't a groggy blink, but one full of surprise. She would have jumped away if her body had the strength to.
Nux grinned at that sight,
"I hope you had a good rest, my wife~"
"W-Why are you looking at me like that…?"
Lyriana questioned, tilting her head. She didn't know what was happening, but what she did know was that nothing good ever came every time Nux grinned like that.
"Oh, no reason."
Nux's wide grin widened even further as he leaned forward.
"You were just saying some very interesting things in your sleep."
He whispered into the woman's ears.
"…Eh?"
The Elven Queen froze.
How could she forget about it!?
"…what are you talking about?"
She questioned carefully, prepared to feign ignorance.
What could he have possibly heard anyway, no?
Nux, knowing exactly what she was thinking, smirked as he leaned even closer, bringing his mouth dangerously close to her ears and then,
"Nux… don't let go~"
He teased, making his voice much more sensual than Lyriana's.
The moment the words left his lips, Lyriana's entire body stiffened. Her crystal-blue eyes widened, her sleepy brain finally catching up.
"Y-YOU HEARD THAT?!"
She squeaked, her face instantly turning red.
"Every. Single. Word."
Nux answered, pursing his lips as he tried to kill the woman.
Lyriana's hand shot up, one pushing his face away from her while the other covered her own as if that would somehow erase what just happened.
"Y-You weren't supposed to hear that!"
Nux laughed, holding Lyriana's hand as he started lightly sucking her fingers while his golden eyes stared right into the Ice Queen's eyes, making it impossible for her to look away or hide her face any longer.
"But I did hear it.
And I have to say… I enjoyed every second of it~"
"I-I take it back! I never said anything!"
"Oh no, it's too late now,"
He teased.
