The Otherworldly Mercenary

Chapter 45: Ch 44 - Bound by Desire



The two of them reclined on the sofa, settling into a position that seemed almost too perfect for two people who were supposed to be merely watching TV. The flickering glow from the screen danced across their faces, casting a warm, intimate light in the dimly lit room.

Seph shifted slightly, adjusting his arm, only to realize his elbow had come into contact with Hela's chest. 

His breath hitched as the sensation of her soft, full curves brushing against him sent a ripple of awareness through his entire body. He froze, the warmth of her body seeping into him, far more distracting than anything on the screen. Glancing sideways, he found her gazing at the television, but her slightly parted lips and faintly flushed cheeks hinted that she was far from oblivious to their proximity. 

The subtle rise and fall of her chest with each breath seemed to mock his restraint, and the scent of her perfume—a dark, intoxicating blend of mystery and allure—drew him in like a moth to a flame. Her evening dress, a tight, stunning creation that clung to every curve of her divine body, was a masterpiece of temptation. The way it hugged her generous chest, accentuating her slim waist and flaring out over her luscious hips, was almost sinful. 

Seph's elbow shifted again, and this time, the softness of her chest pressed more firmly against him. A jolt of heat shot through his veins, awakening something primal deep within. He clenched his jaw, trying to focus on the television, but the movie might as well have been static. His senses were wholly consumed by her—the way her body seemed to mold against his, the way her thigh brushed against his, and the undeniable heat that radiated from her. 

Hela didn't move away. Instead, she leaned in slightly, her long, silky hair cascading over her shoulder to tickle his arm. The goddess's aura of cool detachment was betrayed by the way her breathing seemed just a fraction quicker, her chest rising and falling tantalizingly close to him.

Did she know what she was doing?

Seph couldn't tell if it was deliberate or if she, too, was succumbing to the magnetic pull between them. 

Unable to resist any longer, Seph turned his head, and their eyes met. Her emerald gaze sparkled with a dangerous mix of affection, amusement, and something darker—something that mirrored the storm brewing within him. His heart pounded in his chest, the rhythm almost deafening. If she kept looking at him like that, kept pressing against him with her soft, supple body, he wasn't sure how much longer he could restrain himself. 

The beast inside him stirred, clawing at the edges of his control. His arm moved on its own accord, slipping around her waist and pulling her closer.

Hela let out a soft, almost imperceptible sound—a mixture of surprise and approval. Her breath tickled his ear as she tilted her head, her lips brushing against his jaw, whether intentionally or not. 

Seph's right hand moved lower, sliding over the curve of her hip before coming to rest on the tempting softness of her backside. He squeezed gently, testing her reaction, and was rewarded with a seductive, almost imperceptible purr from the goddess.

Her body seemed to melt into his, her curves fitting against him as though they had been designed for this very moment. 

Hela's fingers grazed the back of his neck, sending a shiver down his spine. The touch was light, teasing, but it spoke volumes. Her lips quirked into a knowing smile, and for a moment, the air between them was electric—charged with unspoken desires and the unbearable tension of mutual attraction. 

The television played on, forgotten, as they remained locked in their little world.

Seph's thumb traced lazy circles over her waist, his touch firm yet gentle, as though savoring the feel of her beneath his fingers.

Hela didn't pull away. Instead, she shifted closer, her leg brushing against his, her chest pressing more firmly into him, as if daring him to lose control. 

She was the Goddess of Death, a figure of power and fear, yet here she was—soft, warm, and maddeningly alluring. Her beauty was devastating, her presence intoxicating, and the way she responded to his touch made his restraint feel like a cruel joke. 

Hela's voice broke the silence, low and sultry.

"Seph," She murmured, her tone a velvet caress that sent a shiver of anticipation through him. Her lips hovered near his ear, close enough to brush against it as she whispered, "You're playing a dangerous game." 

Seph's lips curved into a grin, his hand tightening slightly on her waist.

"Maybe," He replied, his voice rough with barely contained desire, "But with you, danger has never looked so tempting." 

Their gazes locked again, and the world outside the dimly lit room ceased to exist. There was no movie, no boundaries, only the two of them and the smoldering tension that threatened to ignite into something neither of them could stop.

With a fluid, almost predatory motion, Seph shifted, his hands moving with a purpose that left no room for hesitation. One hand slid beneath her, cupping the supple curve of her rear and lifting her slightly off the sofa. His palm spread wide, but her luscious form spilled over his grasp, soft yet firm, molding perfectly to his touch. He tightened his hold, a primal need driving his fingers to press deeply into her puffy, irresistible flesh. 

Hela's breath hitched, a low, inaudible moan escaping her parted lips. Her head found a resting place against his broad shoulder, her body subtly pressing closer, silently giving him permission to continue.

The heat radiating from her seemed to wrap around him, drawing him in, and urging him to explore more of her.

As his fingers kneaded her shapely backside, the pressure of his touch alternated between firm and teasingly gentle, each motion eliciting an involuntary shiver from her. Her curves seemed to respond to him, shifting under his palms in a way that made him want to take his time, savoring every inch of her.

His grip became more confident, his movements imbued with an urgency that matched the rapid rhythm of his heartbeat.

At the same time, his other hand ventured upward, skimming over the curve of her waist before boldly finding its way to her chest. He hesitated for the briefest moment, his fingers hovering over the fabric that strained to contain her ample bosom. Then, with deliberate slowness, his hand settled on the soft swell of her breast. His touch was both reverent and curious, as though discovering something sacred. His fingers moved with purpose, caressing one side before sliding to the other, the heat of her body seeping through the thin material and igniting a fire within him.'
