Chapter 110: Alone within the four walls
Music Recommendation: Make me feel- Elvis Drew

Somewhere in the back of her mind, Anastasia had a faint idea about what would happen next, but the details weren’t fully fleshed out in her mind. She doubted this could be a simple ankle massage. Moreover, there was also something else that worried her, given what Dante had told her earlier.
"Close your eyes and enjoy what you feel," Dante said as he continued to trace circles around the corner of her ankles.
Before Dante could catch on to what she was hiding, she pressed her lips together before obediently closing her eyes. Just as she thought, this entanglement was like vines that constricted further with every passing day. If only—
Anastasia’s eyes shot open, and her thoughts flew right out of her mind when she felt Dante’s fingers trailing upwards from her ankles. A silent gasp escaped her lips as her heart shuddered under his watchful eyes, observing her every expression. His fingers gently brushed and cupped her calves, pulling her slightly and causing her legs to bear most of her body’s weight on the armrest.
With the path Dante’s hands had traced along her leg, the hem of Anastasia’s dress followed it, which was now bunched up at the crook of his forearms, leaving her keenly aware of the bareness of her exposed skin and the sensation of air touching it.
Just as the dress was about to reveal her knees, her hands quickly moved to cover them, feeling the blood rushing up her neck and spreading across her face, making it warm with embarrassment.
"Don’t be frightened, little rabbit. I won’t bite... not hard, at least," Dante assured her. That wasn’t assuring, Anastasia said in her mind. He said, "It is time to let go of the inhibitions and doubts that you cling to. You won’t know until you feel... if it isn’t to your liking."
Those were the conniving words of the demon that had laid a trap for her. The older Dante would have coaxed her gently, while the demon side was tricky with his words. With his hands beneath her dress, her body had turned extremely sensitive.
"Now relax your legs for me," Dante instructed, pushing her dress further up her thighs, causing her hands to be pushed aside to fall to her sides before they went to rest on the table.
