"Don't you want to come with me?" I asked, still catching my breath.
"Fufufu… What, are you going to be lonely without me?" she teased.
"Well, I want to have that sexy body with me all the time, so yeah…" I admitted, not even bothering to hide it.
My desire for her was pure lust. Nothing else. Impure, selfish, but honest.
"As much s I'd like that too, I can't," she said, her tone softening. "I still have to carry out my duty as the current leader of the demon servants."
She leaned in closer, resting her head gently against my chest as she spoke.
"I wish I wasn't burdened with this responsibility. But the demon servants wouldn't prosper without a respectable leader. I can't just throw everything away and live for myself. You understand, don't you?"
I stayed quiet for a moment, then nodded. Yeah, I understood. We weren't so different. I was tied down by responsibilities too—enough that walking away was never an option.
"I understand," I said simply.
