Rachel felt as if her chest was caving in, and her thoughts were thrown all over the place. Her chest was heaving up and down in sync with her rapid, nervous breathing.
She could already feel her palms becoming sticky from sweating more due to the situation she got trapped in.
She wished she could wake up from this nightmare, but when she saw Hellbringer’s fingers counting down, she realized there was no waking up from this.
“2…1…” Asher continued counting as he folded his fingers one by one, and just as he was about to fold the last one,
“I-I will do it!” Rachel shouted in a trembling voice.
Asher smiled as he gestured to her to come near him, “Good girl, you chose wisely. Now let’s get this over with unless you want your friend to bleed to death.”
Rachel realized she couldn’t risk Kara dying by hesitating anymore. She will just get this over with quickly instead of thinking about it more and causing herself more vexation.
“Ah!” Rachel unconsciously shrieked when he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him, making her body stick to his body which felt firm and muscular. Were the body of a man supposed to feel this tough, or was it because he was a demon?
His hand was large and hot and stroking her stomach, his fingers dangerously circling just above her panties. She felt her skin tighten and become hotter under his vulgar touch and didn’t know why she was feeling weird sensations.𝑜𝗏𝗅xt.𝐜𝗈𝑚
“Merina, figured it out?” Asher asked as he continued to stroke the smooth skin of Rachel’s flat navel.
“Yes, Master. I am ready,” Merina said as by now she figured out how to take pictures based on the instructions he conveyed mentally.
She wasn’t least bothered by what Rachel was going through. In fact, she thought this Hunter woman was having it easy since she wasn’t dead yet.
Asher grabbed Rachel’s chin and made her look at him, “Since we are in front of a camera, I want us to look good. So when we kiss or take any pose, I want you to smile for the camera or make it seem like we are really a couple posing for a few pictures.”
Rachel’s eyes widened, unable to believe this villain was being serious, “Y-You don’t have any decency? I already did enough. You can’t make me do that too…” She said in an indignant tone, her expression hateful.
Asher scoffed and pinched her chin, “I wasn’t asking. Otherwise, we will have to keep on retaking poses till I feel you are in the mood to smile. So it’s your choice whether you want this to end quickly or not.”
Rachel’s eyes continuously twitched as she said in a bitter tone, “You are too wicked!”
“Blame my luck. It’s not every day I get to spend time with a beautiful and blessed daughter of the angels like you,” Asher spoke in such a way since people like Rachel who could use Light magic were said to be daughters or sons of the angels just so that people could flatter them by saying this.
Rachel pursed her lips, hearing his words, and said with a reddened face, “I-I will do it, but…you have to tell me how many poses you are planning to take,” Rachel wanted to make things clear in case he tried to trick her again.
Asher smiled and said in a reassuring tone, “Relax, I only plan to take four poses, and we all can go home.”
Rachel winced, wondering what kind of poses she would have to endure four times. But she relaxed a bit since the number was way less than what she expected from someone like him.
“You have to promise you won’t go beyond four,” Rachel stressed strongly.
“Pinky promise. What happens here stays here,” Asher said with a wink as he made her put her stiff arms around his neck, making her look at him with a hint of confusion.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know how couples should kiss? I thought you had a boyfriend,” Asher asked, seeing how awkward and confused she was when he tried to make her hug his neck.
Rachel’s face puffed up as she said indignantly, “That’s none of your business. I am not used to hugging villains like you,” Rachel said as she reluctantly hugged her arms around his neck while looking at his annoyingly charming face up close. His piercing dark yellow eyes seemed to contain an abyss of darkness she couldn’t fathom and threatened to pull her into it, making her pulse race.
She never knew demons could be this dangerously handsome, not that it reduced her hate and anger toward him.
But she came back from her reverie when he suddenly grabbed her slender waist and stole her lips before she could blink.
“Mmnn!!~” Rachel unconsciously let out a muffled shriek as she raised her hand to slap him.
But before her hand could reach his cheek, he grabbed her wrist and clutched her neck, “There are two lives at stake, and you think you can still fool around? Now we will have to retake the shot and try again,” He said as he let go of her neck.
Rachel rubbed her neck with teary eyes and blamed herself for acting without thinking. It just happened too suddenly that it overwhelmed her, and she acted without thinking.
Now she had to do it again, and this time she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She remembered her Hunter training, especially when her father told her to always act calmly no matter how tense or dangerous the situation was. In his words, ‘A person with a calm mind will prevail in a storm.’
So she once again took a deep breath, wiped off the drop of sweat on her forehead, and hugged her arms around his neck with a determined gaze, “Just do it already,” She said with a fierce light in her eyes, deciding to make herself appear strong before this demon instead of letting him prey on her weak state.
“Those are the eyes I like to see,” Asher said with an impressed look and said, “Now you should take the initiative to kiss me. I don’t want you trying to slap me again and waste both of our time.”
Rachel blamed her fate for making things difficult for herself. She inwardly apologized to her boyfriend and family for a moment for going to do something disgraceful and unfair to them.
And with her eyes gradually closing, she raised her feet and hugged his neck just like he made her do last time.
Asher chuckled upon seeing her pretty face coming closer and laughed inwardly, ‘Derek, I wonder what kind of face you would make upon seeing your precious daughter being so eager to kiss me.’
Asher felt Rachel weakly pressing her soft pink lips against him and chuckled inwardly, seeing how she really had no idea how to kiss. As expected from the daughter of an overprotective father.
However, this didn’t mean that Asher was going to be satisfied with this.
“This is how you kiss a man,” Asher said as he hugged her closer and sucked her sweet pink lips into his mouth, and began to kiss her erotically, “Mwcchnm…”
“Mhnnnm!~” Rachel was overwhelmed by the way he suddenly sucked in her lips and his wild kissing.
She felt the impulse to push him away, but this time her mind was firm and determined just to endure it and not make things any more difficult for herself.
She consciously put great effort into making sure that her body language stayed consistent, just like he wanted, though his kissing was making it hard for her to maintain her thoughts.
His lips were hot, making not only her lips but her face hotter as well. She felt as if she got swept away by a huge storm, making it hard to stabilize her thoughts.
But the moment she felt his hands slipping down towards her buttocks and squeezing them, she came out of her daze and tried to push him away.
Asher took one last good squeeze of her soft, firm ass before breaking the kiss with a smile, “That wasn’t too bad, was it?”
Rachel hatefully wiped her lips and pointed her finger at him, “You cheat! You kissed me for too long when all you talked about was posing.”
Asher guilelessly shrugged and said, “It isn’t a pose if you can’t capture the mood. Did you seriously think simply pressing our lips together was enough for a good picture? Consider our little session as a serious photoshoot where we are professional models who shouldn’t care about silly details.”
‘Photoshoot my foot!’ Rachel glared at him and coldly harrumphed, though she took relief in the fact that she endured the hardest pose. The rest shouldn’t be that troublesome.
Still, she felt like her lips were on fire and her face warmer than ever. She had never felt like this and blamed it all on this villain. Not in her dreams did she think her first kiss would be stolen by a vile demon. She had always imagined it to be very romantic and warming, especially with a certain someone, though she shook away that thought right away.
“Next pose is simple. You have to make it seem like you are a caring girlfriend cuddling her boyfriend,” Asher said with a curve of his lips, making Rachel clench her jaws.
“I can’t possibly do that with someone who is too vile and despicable to be my boyfriend,” She indignantly said with her lips pressed together.
“What else did you expect for a photoshoot with a demon?” Asher scoffed, making Rachel stomp the ground with a vexed look.
Asher made her stand in front of him before crouching till his head was facing her ample rosy breasts that were glistening with her sweat.
He could see her nipples slightly sticking out from underneath her bra.
“You villain…” Rachel feebly muttered as she realized what kind of pose he was going to do. Her face reddened just thinking how her partly naked breasts were going to touch his face.
“Don’t be shy. Come here, Hmnnn…” Asher said as he pulled her closer and nuzzled her cleavage with his face, letting out a relaxed sigh upon feeling two soft mounds sandwiching his face.
“Stop fidgeting unless you want to mess up our posing again,” Asher scolded her as he made her hands embrace his head, making it seem like she was cuddling him.
“I hope you rot in hell…” Rachel cursed bitterly as she reluctantly embraced his head, though she felt her chest getting tickled upon feeling his hot breath brushing against her skin.
“Too late to say that,” Asher chuckled as he hugged her waist and relished the supple feeling of her breasts and the scent of her sweet sweaty skin.
He showed a thumbs up at Merina to take the shot.
“Don’t forget to smile like a caring girlfriend,” Asher said, making Rachel take a deep breath and force a sweet smile on her face while making her mind blank. If she gets distracted by any thoughts, she might mess up her expression, and this villain will use that as an excuse to redo the ‘pose’.
Merina carefully aimed the camera and took the shot at an appropriate angle. She lightly smiled after looking at the picture she took, feeling satisfied that she did a good job and hoped her Master would be satisfied as well.
“Enough, let’s move on to the next already,” Rachel pushed him off as she looked at him with a mean glare. She couldn’t believe she was going through all this. The only relief was that the photos would become useless once the phone became dead.
“Somebody is too eager, eh?” Asher chuckled, making her wrinkle her nose in displeasure.
“Okay, second last pose. Come here,” Asher pulled her towards him by her wrist and made her stand in front of him.
He then hugged her slender waist from behind and parted her blue hair towards the other side, revealing her smooth fair neck.
Rachel squirmed as she wondered what kind of vulgar pose he was going to make her do now.
Asher made her raise one of her arms and put it around his neck.
Rachel’s face became red to her neck as this seemed the kind of sexy pose models does for magazines or in movies.
But what made her eyes widen was when she saw his demonic hands crawling over her underarms and suddenly pulling down her bra, making her fair rosy jugs pop out with a jiggle, “HEY! What–“
“Shh, this is the pose we are going to do. Stay still, or we have to stay like this longer,” Asher whispered in her ears as he let his fingers dip into her firm slippery breasts deeply.
Rachel winced as she felt small jolts of electricity spreading all over her chest, “S-Stop…You told me you won’t remove my underwear!” She bitterly said with a beet-red face and couldn’t even gather the strength to remove his dirty claws from her breasts. Other than feeling humiliated by letting this demon grope her naked breasts, she was feeling anxious about the weird sensations he was making her body feel.
Asher chuckled and said, “Your bra is still on your body. So it’s not like I broke my words, did I?” As he said this, he squeezed her slipy breasts together.
“Ahhn!~ Noo~” Rachel suddenly let out a sinful moan that seemed too naughty even for her. She couldn’t believe she was making such indecent sounds in front of him. She felt ashamed that an Elite Hunter like her couldn’t even control her own body.
She gathered all her willpower to not let out any more sounds while enduring the tingling sensation in her chest.
She squeezed her brows and said in a shaky tone, “J-Just take it already!”
She knew he was taking advantage of her in the name of posing, but since this was almost over, she decided to harden her mind to get through this.
However, the feeling of his hot hands squeezing her breasts made her feel like something was tingling in her nether region. She prayed for her body to stop acting weird from his touches and wished she could just feel numb to all this.
“As you wish, princess. Say cheese for the camera with a peace sign,” Asher said as the corners of Rachel’s lips twitched before she forced a smile and posed her fingers with a ‘V’ sign, her feet digging into the ground.
However, right as Merina was about to tap on the capture button, Asher suddenly pinched her erect nipples and twisted them.
“Ahn!~” Rachel was startled as she unconsciously let out a sweet, sensual moan, though she failed to notice Shadow Maid taking a photo at the same time. She also had no idea that her expression seemed way different than how she imagined it would appear in the photo.
“You rascal!” Rachel pushed him off as she tried to slap his chest by flailing her hands at him. She couldn’t believe she had again let down her guard before him.
“Don’t be so mad. That was part of the posing. As I said before, I had to make sure you would look natural in the photo,” Asher said with a smile as he grabbed her wrists together.
“Ughhh!” Rachel felt like pinching him to death and shrugged off his hands from her wrist as she said with a harrumph, “Hmph, let’s do the final pose and get this over with.”
“As you wish, princess,” Asher chuckled as he unzipped his pants, making Rachel’s brows wrinkle in confusion before turning away her face, “Ugh, what are you doing?! This isn’t part of our deal!”
