She Belongs To The Devil

Adeline was shocked to hear that new piece of information about her werewolf brother. "He can generate toxins from fangs and claws? Is he okay then? Won\'t that toxin harm him?"

Theodore chuckled because sometimes Adeline would say things that would make him wonder if she was still a toddler. And then he sarcastically said, "Oh baby, how can his own toxin harm him? Do snakes die of their own venom? No, right? It\'s the same for him as well. You don\'t have to constantly worry about others. Just try to think about yourself first. Being selfish is not a sin."

Once the couple was inside the Devil\'s room, Theodore gently let Adeline stand on her own feet. Her hair was drenched and her clothes were all wet. Theodore was also half-soaked in the water. And a small pool of water was already forming under the feet of both of them.

"Just a moment," Theodore teleported in front of his wardrobe and then shuffled through it to take out a few towels and night robes. He reappeared in front of Adeline and began to dry her hair.

"Theo, I can dry myself. You should also get changed." Adeline tried to grab the towel from Theodore\'s hands but he didn\'t let her.

"Shh! Let me practice for when you and I will start living together. After all, I will always have to help you dry after taking a bath together." Theodore gave a smirk and enthusiastically continued to pat Adeline\'s hair.

Adeline had not given it much thought, about marriage and living together. But when he talked about it so freely and confidently, she liked the sound of it. She trailed her eyes on his angelic face and teased him, "You are not my maid, Theo. How can I make you do such lowly tasks?"

Theodore smoldered his eyes and leaned down at the level of Adeline\'s face. He gave a sly smile and whispered in his husky voice, "Oh please! I know you don\'t allow your maids to do this. So I believe that this is a very special task that you have been saving for me."

Adeline began to laugh when he called drying a special task.

Theodore did a little boop on her cute nose and commanded in a serious tone, "Now take off your gown, I will dry your body as well. Then you can change into my robe."

Adeline abruptly stopped laughing and her jaw dropped, "You have no shame left, do you? How can you ask me so casually to take off my gown?"

Theodore shrugged off his shoulders and smiled, "There is nothing I haven\'t seen al-" But then he remembered he had seen \'everything\' in his vision and not in reality. "Maybe there is something," And he grinned and handed her the towel.

"Dry yourself properly and" he pointed at a robe that he had placed on the bed "and get changed into that."

Adeline walked over to the bed and grabbed a robe.

Without taking his eyes off of his woman, Theodore used his magic again to dry himself and change into his robe.

When Adeline turned back, Theodore was already ready for bed. She double glanced at Theodore with surprise and then asked, "When… How did you change your clothes?"

"I used my magic," Theodore gave a wink.

Adeline was surprised again, not because he used magic but thinking why he didn\'t use it this often when he can get anything done so easily. "How come you never used it this freely before?"

"I also always ask this question to myself." He hummed as if he himself was thinking why and replied, still unsure about it himself, "Maybe I wanted to be more human because I fell in love with a human?"

Adeline\'s lips curled up from that confession from Theodore.

He sighed and continued, "But I regretted not using my magic early enough to knock down that pathetic admirer of yours. Maybe all of this mess could have been prevented if I had just made him pass out sooner. So I am trying to revert back to my old habit to use magic… for almost everything."

"You were the one to knock him out?" Adeline asked with a chuckle.

Theodore just gave her an innocent grin.

"Turn around, will you?" Adeline asked Theodore so that she could change her clothes.

But Theodore just kept on standing still, his eyes glued to her. "Don\'t mind me. I will close my eyes."

"I\'ll get changed in the bathhouse then," she began to head towards a particular wall on the other side of the bed.

Theodore narrowed his eyes and stood in front of her, "How do you know that there\'s a bathhouse there? You never asked me and I never showed you."

"I knew it," Adeline smiled as if she had just solved a case. "I saw you tap on the wall once and a door had appeared. I guessed that it must be a bathhouse since you came out with a wet face."

A devilish smirk appeared on his lips and he whispered, "I see that you have been observant of my actions. You are indeed a wife material."

"Hey, I am no material," Adeline pouted like a child.

"Yes, yes. I meant to say you are going to be a perfect wife," Theodore smiled and leaned down for a kiss.

But he stopped mid-way because he heard a loud double-tap inside his head. He sighed and rolled his eyes, "Oh great! These puppies never let me enjoy my moment." But he still went in for a short kiss and said to Adeline, "I have asked your brother and his wife to stay here for the night. I will bring them here, till then you should change and get warm."

And before Adeline could ask any questions or warn him not to hurt her brother, Theodore vanished from his room.

Adeline sighed and took off her wet and torn gown. She dropped her gown on the floor and then she patted her body with another clean towel. After drying herself, she grabbed Theodore\'s robe. It was giving off Theodore\'s enticing smell. She held the robe in front of her nose and deeply inhaled his scent. And she smiled with satisfaction.. Even his smell did wonders to her mood.
