Chapters 9 and 10

-Demon Kings castle, Leon's bedroom-

Interrupting him Luna spoke out in a meek, timid voice.

"Am I.. disgusting or displeasing to you, master?"

Leon was still looking in another direction trying not to make direct eye contact. His face then started to turn red. His voice started to get an awkward and embarrassed tone.

"Of course, you're not."

"You're  ahim(he clears his throat) very beautiful."

After he cleared his throat mid-sentence he looked straight into her eyes, as if confirming what he was saying was the truth.

As he looked at her, he saw she started to tear up.

Even when Leon promised to not do her harm, Luna didn't really know if she could trust Leon.

After he looked into her eyes, showing her his conviction and truth. Tears started to flow from her face. She tried wiping them away but they just kept coming.

Leon saw Luna in such a pitiful, yet adorable state. Being worried about her, he rushed to her, disregarding how she was still in the nude. He then grabbed her arms, with a worried look on his face.

"Why are you crying, Luna?"

"Did I say something..."

Luna put her hands over Leon's mouth stopping him from finishing his sentence.

She looked up into his worried, caring eyes.

"Why..?"

"Why are you so nice to me? I'm supposed to be your s*ex slave, but why are you being so nice to me."

Leon then looked into her eyes and put his hand to her face. With his thumb, he wiped away the tears that were forming in one of her eyes.

"Am I not allowed to be nice? You said it yourself your mine and I have a right to treat you however I like."

"I'm not like the rest of the Demon lords, I'm not going to mistreat you or abuse you. I'm not going to force myself on you. You may be my slave or whatever, but that doesn't mean you are not a person."

"But..."

"But what, Luna? Do you want me to treat you like a slave and let my lust and anger fall on you?"

"Tell me, Luna, is there anything bothering you that might have made you want to know."

Luna then looked at Leon's chest taking the side of her fist and pushing it against him.

"I just wanted to know why. All my life I've been treated badly, I just wanted to know why you would be different."

Leon walked towards the bed, grabbed a blanket, and put it over Luna.

"It's okay. I... I just have a different outlook on the world compared to my peers. It's understandable why you would want to know."

Luna was still crying, her face full of pain, like reliving a bad dream.

Leon didn't care for the sight.

"Luna, can I hold you, it's just..."

Once Luna heard him, she pushed up against him firmly. Even though there was a little height difference, Leon still wrapped his arms around her.

She was now up against his chest again, she got comfortable with his warmth and grabbed his robe.

Much like she did to his clothes before, when she was in his arms being carried to the room. Now as she started to melt in his gentle, warm touch.

Leon then let go. He tried for the bed, but she grabbed one of his sleeves as if to say don't leave me. Leon then put on a happy smile and grabbed her hand.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed."

"Oh, okay, master."

Leon saw her disappointment, as he was away from her grasp. So Leon went toward Luna, picked her up, and carried her to the bed.

"Ahh." Luna was somewhat surprised by the sudden movement. She was anxiously waiting for what might happen once they both reached the bed.

Once Leon arrived at the foot of the bed with Luna in his hands. He gently laid her down on her side, placing her head on a pillow.

He looked at the way she looked back up at him against the pillow. It seemed to cause him to blush.

Leon rested down next to her, facing the ceiling. He pulled the covers up close to them both, then he put his hand behind his head and sat next to her in the dim room.

Luna, who didn't have an arm to hold on to as a comfort object, moved closer to Leon.

Leon blushed as he looked at her. She cutely made her way closer. She looked almost like a puppy seeing if she could come closer to her master.

Leon was restless, even though he enjoyed how close luna was, he decided to change his position. He sat up and tried to turn. Luna didn't know he was moving, she thought he was leaving her side and she would end up sleeping alone, so she tried to stop him.

"Don't leave me, master."

"It's okay Luna, I'm not, I'm just moving to a more comfortable position."

Leon turned on his side. He grabbed Luna like a stuffed animal, having her face in his chest, and laid down on his side.

Luna was now laying on his arm, facing his neck. She snuggled up even closer to his warm body.

Leon wrapped his arms around her, not wanting to let go. They both seemed to have pleased, content looks on their faces, as they both felt each other's bodies so close together.

"Huaa..(sigh)"

Leon then sighed as if in relief, even though they had only known each other for a little while they seemed to be happy with each other. They both were compatible with each other.

He felt content being next to Luna, she was his ideal type, even though she may be his slave, he never thought of her in that way. He has never really thought of anyone in that manner, he liked to treat everyone equally.

He wanted to be next to this person for however long he could.

As they both were effortlessly easing into a content night's sleep, Leon made a final action. He gently took his hand and pushed away Luna's hair and kissed her forehead. He smiled and went back to his previous position.

"Good night Luna, I hope you have sweet dreams." As he quietly whispered the words to Luna, she also smiled and nudged her head even closer to him.

"I hope the same for you master."

They both then drifted into sleep.
