Chapter 184: Splurging On Resources.
Creed woke up to the sweet scent of sunshine and a weirdly warm pillow under his cheek.
He blinked a few times, stretched his limbs out like a lazy cat, and instinctively reached across the bed, expecting to feel something soft, warm, and adorably clingy.
But his fingers grasped only cold sheets. Empty space. He turned his head, eyes adjusting to the faint morning glow sneaking through the curtains—and sure enough, Meredith was gone.
Just as he’d expected, she’d vanished back into the swirling black tattoo coiled over his chest like living ink.
Creed sighed, but not in a sad way. In a content, slightly smug, and definitely "I just had an amazing night" way.
He flopped back onto the bed, both hands behind his head, and let his mind wander.
Man... that was fun.
Meredith had been so shy at first, constantly fidgeting and asking for permission for everything.
But by the end? She was clinging to him like he was the last slice of chocolate cake in the world, whispering sultry words like he’d just saved her entire bloodline.
It was cute. It was exciting. And it was way more than he had expected for his first night with the divine hexing succubus.
Still, Creed couldn’t help but imagine how much better—no, insane—it could have been if Lilith and Tierra were there too.
