’Is this... what I think it is?’
Every single hair on Himanshu’s body stood up in a jolt. Even without wanting to, his mouth started watering. The thing he had only seen in comics all these days was now actually pressing against his mouth in reality.
For a split second, Himanshu completely forgot all his fear, his anger, and the pure terror of the Demon Queen. He just... he just wanted to take it into his mouth and bite down on it. The urge was completely taking over his mind.
’Oh my God... just once... just one time. I’ll never get this chance again.’
Driven by this pure lust and madness, the exact second he tried to move his face even a tiny bit forward...
BOOM!!
The Demon pushed him away with her hands so fast and so hard that Himanshu flew straight up into the air like a football. He barely missed hitting the ceiling and flew straight across the room, crashing onto the floor in the opposite corner.
THUD!
The impact of the fall was so brutal it felt like he had jumped straight from the first floor onto solid concrete. His chin, chest, knees, and elbows... everything screamed in pain all at once.
All of this happened in just a few seconds. Just like always, he couldn’t figure out what the hell just happened. Yeah, while flying in the air, he did see the whole room upside down for a split second, and then he just felt that terrifying pain in every single bone of his body.
Right then... lying there on the floor, he remembered the Demon. ’Maybe my disgusting move made her face turn red with embarrassment... is she blushing?’
Groaning in pain, the moment Himanshu lifted his face to look at her... he felt a cold grip on his leg. Someone had grabbed one of his legs tight.
Before Himanshu could even process anything... his body was dragged brutally across the cold marble tiles.
Srrtt!
Fighting through the pain, he made a useless attempt to look back. Getting dragged across the floor, Himanshu tried to stop himself by frantically scratching his nails against the tiles, but in front of the Demon’s raw strength, he was just a tiny twig. Without a single drop of mercy, the Demon held his leg with one hand and dragged him exactly the way she used to drag dead monsters to bury them back in her own world.
Seeing this terrifying sight made Himanshu’s stomach drop. Not just his body, but his very soul started shaking.
Just a few seconds ago, he thought that nipple touch was going to be one of the ’best moments’ of his life. But now... it had probably turned into the worst and final moment of his life.
The Demon dragged him mercilessly right out of the room and into the hall.
After falling from a height of an entire floor, he shouldn’t even have the courage to speak anyway. Just a few hours ago, he thought living with a Demon wouldn’t be that bad, no matter how bad things got. But whatever, he had forgotten one massive truth—Demons... are Demons after all.
The Queen slammed his leg hard onto the floor.
The body parts that crashed into the floor were still throbbing and hurting badly. But he wasn’t worried about that pain anymore... he was worried about the literal death that was slowly walking closer to him.
The anger in the Demon’s eyes hadn’t moved an inch. In fact, now those eyes clearly showed the pure cruelty of her demonic world. The moment she stepped closer, Himanshu felt like the air in the hall had suddenly become heavy and freezing cold. He was starting to choke on his own breath.
Before Himanshu could push past his pain and say something, the Demon grabbed his right arm tightly with both her hands. Her grip was so incredibly tight that the pain in the rest of his body started feeling weak compared to the pain of this grip.
And then... Himanshu’s eyes went wide open in pure shock.
Based on what he saw, only one single word escaped his mouth in sheer terror— "No...!"
CRACK!
The Demon dislocated his arm right out of his shoulder in a single jerk!
Himanshu instantly felt the horrifying pain of a bone getting ripped apart in his shoulder. A loud, agonizing scream tore out of his mouth— "AAAHHH...!!"
And then the Demon ruthlessly dropped his broken arm. Himanshu’s lifeless arm flopped straight onto the floor.
And again, with that exact same ruthlessness, she grabbed his other arm with both her hands. Writhing in pain, the Demon’s terrifying voice echoed through the whole house and pierced straight into Himanshu’s ears.
"So what did you think? You can just say whatever you want?" the Demon hissed.
"Do you even know why you’re still alive right now?"
"Because I need you."
"To learn about this world."
"I thought I’d just play the part of a beautiful, soft Demon and figure this world out."
"But human hunger for freedom... I don’t like it one bit!"
Saying this, the Demon violently popped his other arm out of its socket too.
CRACK!!
"AAAAAHHH...!!" Himanshu let out another massive, painful scream.
But this time, along with the physical pain, his scream had a lot more anger directed at his own stupidity.
He should have realized this way earlier. Why would an 8000-year-old Demon... someone who fought countless wars and conquered empires in her own world, come here and join some loser’s ’fake relationship’? He should have just called the cops the first chance he got.
But now... it was way too late.
The real problem was that this cruel Demon could hurt his mom at any moment too.
’I... I just jumped straight in to stop her from falling... I was such an idiot!’
Tears of pain and regret started leaking from Himanshu’s eyes. He clearly understood what a massive mistake he had made. He even started treating his own cousin (Shyam) like an enemy, but the reality was the exact opposite. Shyam was right!
He cursed himself in his mind and bit his lip so ruthlessly to handle the pain that the salty taste of blood filled his mouth.
’People always called me a loser, but I never believed them. I was always wrong... I was always wrong.’
Just then, the Demon’s cold and deadly voice came again.
"If you want your mom and yourself to stay safe and sound, then talk to me with manners from now on. And if possible, don’t ever get in my way."
"And... if you dare touch me again, next time it’ll be your neck in my hands."
Himanshu already knew that his fate only had loneliness and failures written all over it. And it seemed like the absolute worst pain was reserved just for his fate too.
The Demon grabbed his right arm with both hands again and gave it a hard jerk.
POP!
Making Himanshu’s dislocated arm pop right back into its correct position. And she did the exact same thing with his left arm.
Trembling with pain, Himanshu moved both his hands to check them.
Now, the veins that had popped out on the Demon’s face and her terrifying red eyes slowly started going back to normal.
And then... lying down there, Himanshu just kept looking at her in pure terror.
The Demon brought back that very soft, sweet smile on her lips again. It was a smile that could mesmerize any human in a heartbeat.
But... Himanshu understood its secret now. He finally realized that this smile wasn’t out of happiness, it was just a toxic, empty, and biting smile.
