Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Where do I go?

Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Where do I go?

Lilith picked up a cup of noodles, raising an eyebrow.

“So this is your idea of a romantic date?” Ray grinned, leaning back on the blanket with his hands behind his head.

“What?

Don’t tell me you’re too fancy for a good ol’ cup of noodles under the stars.” She shook her head, her lips twitching into a smile.

She noticed how different each of them was.

Gray had taken her to a quiet library, showing his calm and introspective side.

Ray, on the other hand, brought her to a cliff under the open sky-Wild, free, and spontaneous.

And now, she couldn’t help but wonder where Alexander would take her when it was his turn.

A smile played on her lips as she thought about it.

Though she wouldn’t admit it, she was also planning something for the three of them.

Under the starry night, they ate the simple food Ray had bought from the hypermarket.

It was quiet but oddly comforting.

After setting the basket aside, Ray stretched out on his new blanket, grinning at her like he didn’t have a single worry in the world.

“Ray,” Lilith said suddenly, turning her body to face him, her piercing blue eyes locking onto his.

“Tell me-whenever someone else is in control of the body, where do you go?” Ray stilled, her question catching him off guard.

He turned his head to look at her, the grin on his face fading slightly.

“Where do I go?” he repeated, his tone thoughtful.

She nodded, leaning forward slightly.

She was genuinely curious.

He sighed, his gaze drifting up to the sky.

“It’s like… standing behind a one-way mirror.

I can see everything, hear everything, but I can’t really do much.

Sometimes, it’s like being stuck in a dark room, just waiting for someone to open the door and let me out.” He paused, a shadow crossing his face.

“Unless they want to share their memories with me, I don’t know what’s happening.

I don’t always get to see or feel what they experience.” Lilith frowned, her lips pressing together.

“So, you’re disconnected?

Left out?” “Pretty much,” he admitted, his voice quieter now.

“It’s frustrating, especially when something big happens, and I only find out about it later-if they even let me know.” He turned his head toward her.”But I make do with the moments I get.

Like this one.” Her frown eased, replaced by a faint smile.

“So, you really don’t know what’s happening unless they share it with you?” He shook his head.

“Nope.

Sometimes it feels like a favor when they do.

But most of the time, it’s like flipping through a book with missing pages.

I get bits and pieces, but not the whole story.” Hearing his words, a hint of sadness flickered in Lilith’s heart.

She had never thought about how lonely it must feel, hidden in the shadows, waiting silently for a chance to be seen.

“Why are you sitting there, Miss Mystery?

Come lay next to me,” Ray said, patting the space beside him with a boyish grin.

Lilith hesitated but finally stretched out next to him, her piercing blue eyes gazing up at the stars.

The sky was vast, littered with a million tiny lights, and for a moment, it felt like the rest of the world had faded away.

Ray turned his head to look at her, his smile softening as he studied her gergeous features.

But then he noticed her rubbing her arms against the cool night air.

His brows furrowed slightly.

“Come here,” he said suddenly.

Lilith raised an eyebrow at him, amused.

“And what if I don’t?” Seeing her hesitation, Ray rolled his eyes.

“Fine, if you won’t come to me…” He didn’t finish his sentence before closing the distance between them.

With one swift motion, he pulled her closer, adjusting his position until she was beneath him.

“Ray, what are you doing?” Lilith asked, her voice calm but filled with curiosity.

“Keeping you warm,” he replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

His arms wrapped tightly around her, his body shielding her from the night’s chill.

She felt his warmth seep into her, and for a moment, she froze.

Their faces were just inches apart, his playful smile replaced with something deeper, more genuine.

“Better?” he asked softly.

Lilith nodded, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Yeah… better.” Ray rested his chin lightly on top of her head, his breath warm against her hair.

“See?

I can be useful,” he murmured with a chuckle.

Lilith smirked, her hands unconsciously gripping the fabric of his shirt.

“I never said you weren’t.” The silence that followed wasn’t awkward or heavy.

It was comfortable, like the stars above them had paused to admire the quiet intimacy they shared.

Ray, meanwhile, couldn’t wipe the grin off his face.

If he had his way, he’d freeze this moment forever.

“Miss Mystery,” he murmured, his voice teasing, “you’re stuck with me now.” Lilith’s laugh was soft but genuine.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she said, her words filled with warmth.

Ray tilted his head slightly, his voice low and curious as he leaned closer, inhaling her scent and burying his face into her neck.

“What did Gray and Alexander say about me?” he murmured, his lips brushing lightly against her skin.

Lilith smirked, her fingers playing with his hair as she hugged his neck.

“Why should I tell you?” she teased, her voice dripping with amusement., Ray pulled back slightly, narrowing his eyes at her with a playful pout.

“Oh, so that’s how you’re going to be?” he said, his tone mock-offended.

Without waiting for a response, he leaned back down and pressed his lips to her neck, sucking and nibbling gently on her skin, causing her to shiver at the sudden sensation.

“R-Ray!” Lilith gasped, her breath hitching as her hands instinctively went to his shoulders, trying to push him back.

But Ray’s grip around her waist only tightened as he continued his teasing assault.

“Tell me,” he whispered against her neck, his voice deep and laced with a hint of mischief.

“Or should I leave more marks for Gray and Alexander to see?

You’d have a lot of explaining to do, Miss Mystery.” Lilith’s cheeks flushed, a mixture of irritation and amusement flashing in her piercing blue eyes.

“You’re such a child,” she muttered, though her fingers betrayed her as they tangled deeper into his soft hair.

Ray finally pulled back, his lips curling into a mischievous grin as he met her gaze.

“So?

Are you going to tell me now, or do I need to keep convincing you?” Lilith narrowed her eyes at him, her lips twitching with a smirk.

“Fine, fine,” she said, rolling her eyes dramatically.

“Gray thinks you’re too carefree and troublemaker.” Ray’s face morphed into mock horror as he gasped dramatically.

“Troublemaker?

Me?

Do I look like a troublemaker to you?” Lilith burst into laughter, the sound light and melodic as she shook her head.

“You don’t just look like one-you are one,” she said, her tone teasing but affectionate.

Ray shrugged, a smug grin spreading across his face.

He leaned closer until his nose lightly brushed against hers.

“Good,” he whispered, his voice soft but possessive.

“I like being your troublemaker.” Lilith’s lips twitched as she shook her head.

Ray continued biting her neck, his lips brushing against her skin in a way that sent shivers down her spine.

“Ray!” she exclaimed, half-laughing, half-scolding, her hands pushing at his shoulders, but he didn’t let up.

“Just one more bite,” he murmured against her neck, his voice teasing and low, making her heart race.

His warm breath fanned her skin, and her grip on his shoulders tightened involuntarily.

Lilith wasn’t sure why she felt this way.

Why had no powerful, handsome lords or fearsome demons in her past ever evoked such emotions in her?

Why did this one man, a normal human being, so flawed yet so perfect, make her heart pound and her skin tingle in a way she had never experienced?

There was something about him, something you couldn’t quite explain.

It wasn’t just his scent or the way his presence seemed to fill the room.

It was the way he carried so many different sides to himself, each one unique but still part of who he was.

Every part of him had its own story to tell, and even when he was quiet, it felt like he said so much without words.

He wasn’t refined like the high-ranking lords she had met before, nor did he have the threatening presence of the demons.

But there was something about him that pulled her in.

He wasn’t pretending or trying to win her over.

He was just… himself.

And that, more than anything, caught her attention.

He was like the whole universe in one person, holding both darkness and light inside him.

His presence felt overwhelming, like the endless night sky-full of mystery and wonder.

The shadows in his eyes spoke of the storms he had faced, but the warmth in his touch held a gentle light, pulling her in like the stars on a quiet night.
