Chapter 87*

"Violet," he says softly, sitting beside you on the garden bench. "I wanted to check on you. How are you doing after our conversation the other day?"

You sigh, not really wanting to delve into it. "I don't really want to talk about it, Lucius."

He nods, understanding but persistent. "I understand. But did you decide to make it work with Severus, or are you still trying to clear your head?"

Taking a deep breath, you decide to confide in him. "Severus talked me into having sex, and then afterward, he started saying that as long as his child was inside me, he had a claim on me. He got so upset and angry. It was... overwhelming."

Lucius's expression darkens with a mix of anger and concern. "That sounds incredibly manipulative, Violet. He's trying to use the child to control you."

You nod, feeling the weight of the situation. "I know. It's just... complicated. I need to clear my head and figure out what I really want. But his reaction made me realize how deeply he wants to control my life."

Lucius reaches out, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder. "You deserve to make your own decisions, Violet. No one should have that kind of power over you. Not even Severus."

You look at him, feeling a mixture of gratitude and confusion. "I know. It's just hard to break away from something that's been such a big part of my life."

He nods, understanding the complexity of your emotions. "It's not easy, but you're strong, Violet. You have the power to take control of your own destiny."

You sigh, feeling a bit more clarity. "The answer is definitely that I need to explore things with Adrian, unless he's still seeing that girl... Dandelion, or whatever her name was."

Lucius's grin fades slightly, replaced by a hint of jealousy. "Daisy, you mean."

You notice the change in his demeanor and tilt your head, feeling a mix of curiosity and concern. "Yes, Daisy. Do you know if they're still together?"

Lucius shakes his head, trying to mask his feelings. "As far as I know, they ended things a while ago. Adrian is very much single."

You feel a flutter of anticipation at the thought, but you can't ignore Lucius's reaction. "Good. I think I need to see where things could go with him. I need to know if my feelings are real and if there's potential there."

Lucius nods, but there's a slight edge to his voice. "It's a wise choice, Violet. Adrian is a good man. Exploring your options is a natural part of finding yourself. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for it."

You smile, feeling a surge of confidence, but also a twinge of guilt for causing Lucius discomfort. "Thank you, Lucius. Your support means a lot to me."

He squeezes your shoulder, his touch lingering a moment longer than necessary. "Anytime, Violet. You deserve to be happy and to make choices that are right for you."

You take a deep breath, feeling the weight of the moment and the intensity of your own desires. "Lucius," you begin, your voice soft but firm, "do you want to have sex with me? Because I'm dying here. I haven't been touched in days."

Lucius's eyes widen slightly, a mix of surprise and longing flickering across his face. He hesitates, clearly torn between his desire and his sense of duty. "Violet... you know I'm married. This is... complicated."

You step closer, your voice a whisper. "I know it's complicated, but right now, I need you. I need to feel alive, to feel wanted. Can you do that for me, Lucius?"

Lucius's eyes darken with desire, but he hesitates, his voice low and conflicted. "Violet, I can't sleep with you in your father's home. It's disrespectful. But believe me, I would love to take you up on your offer."
