I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 177 - Entangled ❤❤❤

For a few seconds, I do nothing but stare at the ethereal face of the pale beauty poking out from under the covers. Then, I realise that I shouldn't be as surprised about hearing Hecate's soft voice. It can't really be helped. My brain is still locked on the notion of her being pretty much mute and illiterate, even though I just recall her trying to speak when I jumped here for a short Heart Swap during our journey.

Besides uttering that single, sweet word, my loyal spidergirl doesn't say anything else. She looks back at me with the usual neutral expression, which only makes the scene so much more adorable. The only issue lies in her pleasantly chilly body pressing onto me from above, and in turn, a certain part of me brushing against the now fully recovered plump insides of her thighs. And possibly, something a little higher too.

Trying to shove aside the vivid imagery of our position under the sheets out of my mind, I slowly sit up while wrapping one arm around Hecate's slim waist. The covers slowly slide off her shoulders as we both rise and fully reveal her lithe frame. Naturally, she is now no longer pressed into my chest so her own petite front enters my sight, from the gentle swell at the top to the alluring valley disappearing at the bottom. I do my best to take control of my body and make sure nothing is actively poking her from underneath.

"Hello there." I smile warmly at her as she sits on my thighs with her hands resting on top of them between us. "It's been a while. I hope you were a good girl while I was gone, were you?"

"Were." Hecate graces me with a tiny nod and a single word again.

"I'm glad to hear that." I can't stop myself from bringing my palm up to her face and delicately caressing her beautiful cheek. "What do I owe this pleasure of you waking me up? Do you perhaps need something from me or were you just feeling lonely?"

"Request," she replies calmly. "Promise."

"Request?" I furrow my brows at her as I try to decipher her brief messages. "Ah. Your request. Your reward for behaving while I was gone. Right. Well, if you came to speak your wishes, I'm all ears. Which means that I'm listening in case that phrase confuses you. I should probably ask around about what you've been up to but I'm fairly sure that's unnecessary. I trust that you've been good for me."

"Catch criminals. Assassinate bad guys. Save people." Hecate lists what must be her achievements or usual schedule.

"Yeah, I probably really should talk to the others about this." I chuckle to myself. "Not that you did anything wrong, of course. It was me who nudged you in that direction and I'm proud if you did all that. I would just like to receive a few more details on your time outside the mansion, preferably from someone more well-spoken."

I have no doubt that her mental communication would be not much different from how she talks so I would rather not put too much strain and effort on the silent girl when I can just ask someone else.

"Anyway." I ruffle through her short white hair. "Do you have anything in mind for your request?"

Hecate extends her arms toward me, partially past my sides with how close to each other we are sitting, in a motion that mirrors a kid wanting to be picked up. She then gazes into my eyes with her ominous but charming pure black three pairs.

"Take me," she requests.

"Pardon?" I raise a brow at her in moderate confusion.

Does she want me to carry her around for the day or something like that? I mean, it wouldn't be that surprising with how clingy she's been with me since day one. This certainly could feel like a step forward from just stalking me from behind her reality-bending threads. I just hope it doesn't mean we will have to parade naked once more, hah.
