    ‘As soon as the cold air hit my face and the wild scent of the forest


    and wheat fields filled my nose, I inhaled deeply.


    Tneeded to calm my arousal; I dreaded when that vtile


    sensation would strike again.


    ‘The worst part was the hot, strong body pressed against my back.


    ‘The first time, I hadn’t been so aware, but now I was.


    Why did it feel like Ss was closer to me than before?


    His hands were tightly wrapped around my waist, his chest


    brushing against my spine, his warm breath falling on the nape of


    my neck, and lower... his crotch was pressed intimately against my


    ass.


    Every time the horse moved, the friction became more noticeable.


    My libido was ying tricks on me because I could feel him getting


    hard.


    That couldn’t be; he was just nervous about riding. He hated being


    close and intimate with me.


    “Damn horny Electra, I’m going to kill you for being such an


    indecent slut, even if I am the one intruding in your body,” I


    grumbled, urging the horse faster


    When I fully upied a being’s body and controlled it this


    dominantly, I could feel absolutely everything —so vivid and real it


    was like it was my own body.


    Before, I thought it was an incredible, unique gift; now, it felt


    Machiavellian and horrifying


    ----


    “Ss, get off the horse and walk behind me like you’re following


    me; it’s just a short stretch,” I ordered, looking at the looming


    ‘walls of the de Croix estate on the horizon.


    That’s how we did it, to avoid raising suspicion from others.


    My horse led the way down the path nked by vast farnds.


    Theld my head high with arrogance, riding through the enormous


    entrance gates.


    People stepped aside as I passed, bowing their heads in respect.


    Some elemental families, minor witch ns, hybrids—even a few


    vampires—sought the protection of the powerful de Croix


    family.


    ‘The realm wasn’t as safe as it seemed; there were power struggles


    even among the same races and important ns.


    The royal family had always been the Selenias from the very


    beginning; it was said that the Goddess herself had made that


    decree, but no one was happy with the arrangement.


    However, power spoke loudest here, and the Selenias had


    dominated the crown with their strength and influence.


    Leaving the bustling city behind, I finally arrived at Electra’s home.


    “Miss Electra, wee back. You should have sent word so I could


    make the preparations,” Grimm was at the mansion’s entrance.


    ----


    “sure, you really look surprised to see me,” I replied sarcastically,


    dismounting from the horse.
