(From Demetrius''s Perspective)


    The room was dark. Only a candle was burning on a table. The ce was not familiar. But it had a smell that I found very used to. I was sitting on a bed, shirtless.


    "Were you waiting for too long?"


    Hearing the sweet voice, I turned around. A beautiful woman stood there, wearing a short silk nightgown. I gaped at the woman who I loved more than anything or anyone else. That face, those blue eyes- they were enthralling.


    "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look... bad?" she mumbled worriedly, looking down at her body shyly.


    I chuckled and got down from the bed. I did not care where we were, or how we came here. The only thing that mattered was what was in front of me. I could not possibly let the moment go when my beautiful wife was standing in front of me, inviting me to devour her.


    I pulled her arm and she tumbled over me. I kissed her on the neck while touching her waist lightly.


    "You are really beautiful," I said. "It looks like you keep glowing every day."


    She pouted and looked at me, cing her hands on my shoulders. "You keep saying that. But it''s actually a lie, isn''t it? I look the same. I look at myself every day in the mirror."


    ''Haa, if only you could see what I see...''


    "The way I look at you- doesn''t it answer your question? In my eyes, you are the most beautiful person, both inside and out," I said.


    "Hm... Is that so?"


    "Yes... But I don''t understand one thing."


    "What?"


    "Why are you tempting me? If you keep doing that, I won''t be able to hold myself back," I said. "But we can''t do it. That one time before was an emergency. Until your power is awakened, we should not do it."


    "But... my power is awakened," she said. "He awakened my power..."


    "What? What are you talking about? Who awakened your power?" I asked, dumbfounded.


    "Um... I can''t tell you anymore."


    "What? Don''t stop in the middle!"


    She shook her head and suddenly kissed me. I still got surprised every time she was the one to start the kiss. My mind became clouded and I forgot the fact that I needed to know something from her. Rather, I started kissing her with the same might like her, if not more.


    She had the power to control me, to drive my mind somewhere else just by touching me. She was dangerous to me and she was someone who I did not want to let go of no matter what.


    "You..."


    "I want to touch you," she said.


    Without waiting for my reply, she bent in front of me. She unzipped my pants slowly and took it out. She looked more confident than before. I liked that look in her eyes. It was filled with shyness and confidence at the same time.


    Suddenly there was a ck smoke around her. It was like the smoke was surrounding both of us.


    She nced up at me and smiled as if she was in pain. "I tried to... please you... so you won''t hate me."


    "Hate you? Why would I hate you?"


    "This... It shows what I truly am... This power- it''s too much and dangerous and more importantly, I can''t control it yet... What if I end up hurting everyone?"


    "Darling..."


    "I just... wanted to love you and live with you. But I can''t..."


    "What do you mean you can''t? You have to stay with me!" I yelled.


    The next thing I knew, I was on a bed again. But this time, it was our bed in the bedroom. My wife was sleeping beside me with her arms and legs on me.


    It was almost morning. Because I sat all of a sudden, my head was hurting. It was a dream. But what kind of weird dream was that?


    ''Why would I ever hate my wife? It doesn''t matter if her power is awakened or not, I will always love her. And it doesn''t matter what she bes after awakening her power. She will always remain my wife, my Blue...''


    That was one thing, but there was another problem now. I looked at the front directly at the problem that I needed to take care of now.


    "Why? Why now? Because she touched me a little in the dream, I got... Shit!"


    It was not the first time she touched me in my dream. I had all sorts of lewd dreams about her. I always managed to slip out of the bed and go to the bathroom to take care of it. But this time, she was hugging me a bit too tightly. If I moved a little, she would wake up and see me in this state.


    "Mm..."


    "Shit!"


    "Dem... Why are you not... sleeping?"


    ''I didn''t even have to move much to wake her up...''


    "Don''t worry about me. You can go to sleep," I said.


    "But why are you sitting...?" she mumbled and moved her leg. "What...? Why is it...?"


    ''Now she has seen it!''


    She nced up at me, confused. "Why...? I mean, out of nowhere? It''s not like... Does it happen for no reason?"


    "It''s because of you," I said.


    "Me? But I didn''t even... I was only sleeping. I can assure you I did not touch you when you were sleeping. I am not that kind of person," she said.


    "I know. I wouldn''t touch you when you are sleeping as well. It''s not like I would mind if you touch me even when I am sleeping though. But it did not happen because you touched me."


    "Then?"


    "You were in my dream, doing lewd things. I could not help but get excited?"


    "In your dream? You were dreaming of us doing it?"


    "Yes, this and that... You were very lewd and were eating me up. I could not even move."


    ''It''s not fully true, but it''s not a lie either. She initiated it, but she is not someone to take control, and more importantly, I like to take control and drive her crazy because that drives me crazy as well.''


    "No, I did not!"


    "How do you know that? I am the victim here... Look at my state now. I am in pain..."


    "Uh... What should I do then?"


    "What do you think?" I smirked.


    She gulped and sat. She nced at me shyly and then looked down at the real problem. Taking a deep breath, she climbed on my legs.


    "Then I will try my best," she said.


    ***


    The start of the day was great. It indicated that I was going to have a good day. But that dream made me a bit uneasy.


    I was not the type of person to fret over a simple dream since dreams were not real in the first ce. But this time, I took some time to think about it. Would she truly want to leave me just because she thought I would not want her after she awakened her power?


    If it was true, then it made one thing very clear- she did not think that I wanted her for power and believed mepletely that I wanted her because I loved her. Because of that, she also thought that I would hate her because very powerful dark mages werepared to monsters and heinous creatures.


    It was true that I did not want her for power and loved her. But that did not mean, I would hate her just because she was a very powerful dark mage. I would always want her no matter what.


    I put on my long ck coat and got ready for work. She was lying in the bed on her stomach, half asleep.


    "Babe?"


    "Hmm?"


    "If you go somewhere or decide to go somewhere, let me know first, okay?" I said.


    "Hm... okay," she mumbled, without opening her eyes.


    It did not seem like she heard entirely what I said. So, I wrote the same thing on a piece of paper and left it on the bedside table.


    After having that dream, my fear of her leaving me seemed to have increased. What if she suddenly disappeared?


    I never followed her or assigned someone to follow her every move since it was disgusting to even think about. But what if she took the opportunity to leave me? Or what if someone tried to lure her and get her to leave me just like that voice tried the previous day?


    She kept saying that she would not leave me and she did not need any freedom. But I knew that deep down, it was not the case. What if she realized it someday?


    I could not let her do that. I would shower her with love as much as I could and give her everything she needed and did not need so she would never even think of leaving me.
