Chapter 7 Make me want you

Davi’s heartbeat went even faster the moment she heard him say that there was a problem. Her face turned visibly worried. It was just her first night with him; she had just met her mysterious husband, and there was already a problem? "P-problem?" "Yes, it’s about me," he answered, making Davi feel instantly relieved. Wait. What? The problem is with him? Davi’s anxiety suddenly fell as if her blood pressure drastically went down from over a hundred to normal. "Tell me, do you clearly understand what your job is as my wife?" "Yes, boss, crystal clear!" Davi covered her mouth right away when she realized the way she answered him. She was a bit flustered when he called her ’my wife’. However, the man himself seemed like he didn’t mind at all. "Good." "Then, what’s... the problem?" "No woman can arouse me." Davi blinked for more than ten times, a long pause of deafening silence went by, then her eyes slowly turned wide. "What? Wait... you’re gay?!" The masked man’s cold but calm aura suddenly blazed like an ice-cold fire the moment he heard what she said. On the other hand, Davi’s instinct suddenly made her move right away, putting a wide distance between them and instantly tugging the blanket, hiding herself behind it. She felt like she had just awakened the sleeping monster within him. She couldn’t see his expressions, but his aura was enough to give her goosebumps, as if she had just been touched by a ghost. However, the moment passed by, but the monster didn’t do anything, so she slowly put down the blanket halfway, peaking like a scared cat to the masked man before her. His extremely dangerous aura just now started subsiding, yet Davi’s sweat from the sudden deadly blizzard a moment ago kept persisting. "No." Stone-cold voice almost felt like it made her sweat freeze. His word was just as absolute as ever, indicating his solid, unquestionable answer. "A-are you sure?" Once again, Davi almost wanted to just tape her stubborn mouth. She was still so scared, and yet she couldn’t stop herself from digging her own grave. But surprisingly, the man seemed unbothered. "Yes. Men are out of the question." "Then why...?" "Lack of interest in women." The way he answered her just felt like he was certain, there was no doubt or hesitation at all. But Davi’s curiosity about the man before her is even greater than her fear, thus not stopping her from talking. "But how about men? I mean, in a romantic way. Are you interested in them?" Davi was surprised at her bravery, but her brave self slowly succumbed to fear once again when the man didn’t reply. Sei was being a bit impressed. It was the first time any woman dared to talk to him like this, despite just meeting each other a few hours ago. He could tell how stubborn she was, how curious she was, how she still kept talking to him despite her obvious fear. And the most intriguing to him was that this ffragile-lookingyet yet brave creature was surprisingly making him answer her, even her ridiculous questions. "Not interested in men either." His voice was firm, but it’s as if he’s indicating that he was already bored with their topic. But his reply made Davi’s fear subside once again. "So basically, you’re not interested in both men and women?" "Yes." Davi slowly covered her mouth as if she were surprised. Seriously? He’s not just interested in human beings, right? Maybe because he is a real monster? Maybe it’s because he’s interested in witches or magical girls? Davi couldn’t help but think about lots of ridiculous ideas. However, she continued asking him since he’s still giving her his answers despite him seemingly being a man of few words. "Then why did you marry me?" "I need a child." His instant answer was like lightning striking her. She knew very well that she had no right to say no; she knew that her life was already his, but she just still couldn’t imagine herself bearing a child and becoming a mother. She had already gathered her resolve; she believed that her mind and heart were ready, but still, her soul refused to abide. "But how can I give you a child if you..." "That’s why you need to seduce me. Make me want you."
