Harem Startup : The Demon Billionaire is on Vacation

Chapter 890: The Little Mermaid’s Seduction [Part 2]

Her fingers traced lower carefully, exploring without experience but full of curiosity. Across his chest. Down his abdomen. Feeling the subtle tension in his muscles each time she touched somewhere sensitive.His body was unfair.

That was the official conclusion.

Smooth skin. Sharp lines. Heat beneath her fingertips.

And every time she touched him, Lux’s breathing shifted slightly deeper.

Not dramatic.

Not performative.

Real.

That mattered to her more than she expected.

Ariel leaned closer again.

Their faces inches apart now.

Lux tilted his head slightly, giving her space to retreat if she wanted.

Instead...

She kissed him.

Soft.

Tentative.

More question than confidence.

But Lux answered immediately.

Warm mouth against hers. Slow. Controlled. Not overwhelming her. Just enough pressure to make her melt a little against him.

Ariel’s fingers tightened instinctively against his chest.

Kissing him felt dangerous.

Not because he was rough.

Because he wasn’t.

Because he kissed like he paid attention.

Like every tiny sound she made mattered.

When they separated slightly, Ariel was breathing harder already.

Lux rested his forehead briefly against hers.

"There she is again," he murmured.

Ariel blinked softly. "Who?"

"The brave little mermaid."

Her heart nearly exploded.

This man was going to kill her politely someday.

Ariel kissed him again before she could overthink it.

Less shy this time.

Still soft.

But wanting.

And Lux finally responded more fully, one hand sliding carefully to her waist, warm through the satin fabric of her dress. He pulled her slightly closer until she could feel the heat of his body properly now.

Ariel’s thoughts dissolved beautifully.

Her fingers wandered lower almost without permission.

Past his stomach.

Past the sharp line of his waist.

Then paused.

Because...

Oh.

The pants really were thin.

She could feel him beneath the fabric immediately.

Heavy warmth under her trembling hand.

Ariel froze.

Lux hissed softly through his teeth.

Not loud.

Just enough.

And that tiny sound went straight through her.

Her eyes widened instantly.

That reaction...

She caused that.

Lux looked genuinely surprised for half a second.

Which honestly felt like an achievement.

"I thought," he murmured slowly, "you wouldn’t be this bold."

Ariel immediately panicked.

"I-I can’t?"

Her hand tried to pull away.

Lux caught her wrist gently.

"No."

His voice dropped lower.

"You have my permission."

Oh that was worse.

Way worse.

Because now her body reacted instantly to the approval in his voice.

Ariel bit her lip softly and looked down again.

Still nervous.

Still inexperienced.

But curious now too.

Very curious.

Her fingers pressed slightly more firmly over the fabric.

Lux exhaled slowly this time.

His head tilted back against the couch just a little.

Watching him lose tiny fragments of composure because of her made heat spread through Ariel’s entire body.

Ariel’s fingers trembled slightly against the thin fabric as she felt the solid heat beneath her palm. Heavy. Thick even softened.

"You really weren’t joking about the outfit," she whispered before thinking.

Lux laughed softly under his breath.

"No. This is absolutely a trap."

Ariel smiled faintly.

Then her hand moved again.

Slow stroke over the fabric.

Careful.

Testing.

Lux’s jaw tightened visibly.

There.

Another reaction.

Another soft hiss.

Ariel’s breathing became uneven now.

Lux opened his eyes again and looked at her directly.

His gaze heavy now.

Focused.

"You’re enjoying this."

Ariel’s cheeks burned immediately.

"...Maybe."

Lux’s smile turned darker.

"That’s my line."

Ariel laughed softly again, nerves slowly melting into something warmer. Her thumb brushed carefully along the outline beneath the fabric and Lux closed his eyes briefly this time.

Incubus.

Dangerous devil prince.

Absolute disaster to civilization.

And somehow still sitting here letting her explore at her own pace instead of taking control completely.

That trust affected her more than she expected.

Ariel leaned closer until her lips brushed his ear lightly.

"You’re holding back."

Lux’s eyes opened immediately.

Well.

That got his attention.

Ariel surprised herself again.

Because maybe... Maybe being around him made bravery contagious.

Lux’s hand tightened slightly at her waist.

"Very observant tonight."

Ariel smiled nervously against his skin.

"I’m trying."

And Lux looked at her then with something deeper than teasing.

Something warm.

Hungry.

Interested.

Like this shy little mermaid slowly finding confidence in his lap might genuinely be one of the prettiest things he’d seen all week.

Which, honestly?

Only made Ariel want to touch him more.

The wine warmth in her veins mixed dangerously with courage she normally didn’t have. Lux kept watching her with those calm eyes, like he was curious how far she would go rather than trying to stop her.

And somehow...

That trust made her bolder.

Ariel swallowed softly, then her fingers slipped lower.

Past the waistband.

Lux noticed immediately.

One brow lifted.

"Ariel..."

But she already hooked her fingers into the edge of the thin fabric and tugged slightly downward.

And...

Lux actually looked surprised.

His breath caught faintly as his cock sprang free from the prison of those sinful pants, heavy heat against his stomach, already half-hard and twitching slightly from everything she’d been doing.

Ariel stared.

Completely mesmerized.

Because seeing it directly was worse.

Bigger.

Thicker.

Her face burned instantly.

Lux leaned back against the couch slowly, watching her reaction with visible amusement now.

"You’re impatient."

Ariel looked up at him through flushed cheeks.

"I know you’ve slept with them," she admitted softly. "And... I know you’re being careful with me because I’m still healing."

Lux’s expression softened slightly.

"Ariel—"

"So..." Her fingers wrapped around him carefully, making him hiss under his breath. "Let me taste it."

That sentence nearly killed him.

Lux looked at her for a long second.

Then slowly brushed her hair behind her ear.

"You really are getting bold."

Ariel smiled nervously.

"Maybe it’s your fault."

Lux laughed quietly at that.

Low.

Warm.

Dangerous.

And when Ariel lowered herself between his legs, her hands trembling but determined, Lux’s gaze stayed locked on her the entire time. Not controlling. Not mocking. Just watching her like she was something precious and terrifying all at once.

The first touch of her lips against him made his head tilt back slightly.

A soft exhale escaped him.

And Ariel felt heat flood her whole body at realizing she could make the terrifyingly composed Lux Vaelthorn lose little pieces of control one breath at a time.
