Chapitre 12: You sign with your seed...

Signature required: Adrian's seed.

**********

Adrian looked up from the scroll, his brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of what the last line of the contract said — Signature required: Adrian's seed.

'My seed?'

Unable to hold back k his curiosity, he voiced out his question. "What do I sign with?"

Lilith's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Well, like I said before, I am the goddess of lust. A contract with me requires... your seed."

Adrian's heart skipped a beat. "You mean...?"

Lilith nodded, stepping closer to him. "Yes, Adrian. Your seed will bind this contract and empower me further."

Adrian's cheeks flushed as he struggled to comprehend her words. "When you say 'seed,' do you mean...?"

Lilith's eyes sparkled with mischief. "I mean your fluid… your semen, your…" she paused as if thinking for another synonym for what she meant. Her eyes brightened as the word she was looking for hit her. "I mean your cum."

She made a playful gesture with her hand, imitating an imaginary cock shooting its load.

The gesture was sexy and explicit at the same time, clearly describing what she meant.

"It's essential for the contract's magic." She added.

Adrian hesitated. "Is it really that necessary?"

Lilith's expression turned serious. "It is. If the contract doesn't bind us completely, our power will be limited, and we won't achieve our goals."

She paused, considering his discomfort. "However, if you're not ready, we can use your blood for a temporary agreement. But eventually, you'll have to use your seed to sign for the full bond."

Adrian weighed his options. "So, a temporary agreement... Like a trial?"

Lilith nodded. "Exactly. Think of it as a free trial of what I have to offer. Though you won't be enjoying the full package, as we won't be in total sync."

Adrian took a deep breath, his mind racing. "Alright. Let's do the blood for now."

Lilith's lips curved into a seductive smile. "If you say so."

She summoned a dagger with a golden light that shimmered in her hand before solidifying. "Hold out your hand," she instructed.

Adrian extended his hand, and Lilith made a precise cut on his palm. He winced but held steady, allowing the blood to drip onto the scroll.

The parchment absorbed the blood, glowing with a blue light before rolling up and disappearing into thin air.

Lilith brought the dagger to her lips, licking the blood stain in a sensual manner, shoving the dagger in amd out as if sucking a lollipop. "That's done," she purred as she kept the dagger. "Now we can get out of here."

"Give me a moment, Lilith. I need to lay down a roadmap on where we'll be going," Adrian said, his brow furrowing in concentration.

He hadn't really given it much thought but he needed to plot out a few steps.

"Okay, Master Adrian," Lilith replied with a seductive look. "Love the title?" Her words dripped with sweetness, and she flashed a provocative expression.

"Not now, Lilith," Adrian snapped, trying to maintain his focus.

She pouted, turning away with an air of disappointment. "Fine, I'll be here waiting."

"Thank you," Adrian's tone softened with gratitude as he returned his attention to the task at hand, mapping out their journey in his mind.

'Now to go after the Draegonians,' he mused, thinking about it. 'But last time, it didn't go well with them even with Marcus by my side.' He sighed, memories of their past encounter flooding back.

He had questioned the mercenaries who rescued him from the desert about Marcus, but their response had been disheartening.

He was the only one they had found.

No sign of Marcus… or anyone with him.

'Does that means Marcus escaped or his body taken? Or kidnapped?'

Adrian shook his head, trying not to think too much about it. The probability that he was still alive was zero to none. No need to dwell on it.

'So, to go against the Draegonians, I might need some help. Maybe the mercenaries can assist,' he considered, his mind racing with thoughts of strategy and allies.

"Alright, Lilith, let's go," he called out to her, and she jumped up in excitement.

"Sure, before that, I should give you a crash course on my powers," Lilith explained with a sultry confidence.

Her voice, like velvet, drew him in, and he hung on to her every word. "Considering a fraction of my power flows within you, you won't be able to use all abilities effectively unless you know about them."

"I, Lilith, the Goddess of Lust, have power in enchanting and beguiling others with my allure, making them do my bidding. The art of seduction is my weapon, and I wield it with irresistible charm."

She spoke with the utmost confidence, and the conviction in her voice made it hard to doubt her.

"That is one of the powers I can grant to you as long as you are bound to me," Lilith explained.

As Lilith continued to explain, she assured Adrian, "As to our individual powers and skills, they will come naturally to you."

"Just close your eyes and feel everything come to you," Lilith's voice, honeyed and enticing, whispered in his mind.

Adrian closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he tried to understand and accept the strange new powers that coursed through his veins.

A rush of energy filled his body, and his mind became a whirlwind of sensations and images. It felt like he was hit with a wave. He could sense it all—the powers flowing within him.

There was a tingle at the back of his mind, a subtle awareness, like the flutter of a moth's wings.

It was Lilith.

He could feel her presence, her emotions, her thoughts. She was with him, part of him.

The sensation was overwhelming, and Adrian could hardly breathe. He opened his eyes, gasping for air.

"Breathe, Adrian," Lilith said, her voice calm and reassuring.

"This is going to take some time getting used to," Adrian muttered, taking a deep breath.

Lilith nodded, her expression serious. "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

Adrian nodded as he brought his hands together, instincts guiding his movements. It was as if he had done it before.

A bright gold light appeared, and withe every passing second, it grew and warped until it looked like a portal.

"I love a fast learner," Lilith whispered in Adrian's ears, her hot breath grazing his skin.

"Shall we?" he turned and asked Lilith.

"After you," Lilith answered, a smug smile on her lips.

They stepped into the portal together.

It was time to begin their journey.
