Scarlett was confused when L.u.s.t appeared out of nowhere. Lucien ignored them and focused on Olivia while L.u.s.t told Scarlett the rules on how a little pet should behave well.
Olivia was still unconscious. She suffered serious head injuries, which would be really worrying if Lucien couldn't easily heal anything with his ridiculous life mana.
Lucien held her head and forced his tongue into Olivia's mouth. After a few seconds, she woke up, but she was still very confused and tried to move away from Lucien.
Unlike Scarlett, who couldn't move, Olivia tried to get up and out of the bathtub, but Lucien held her tight and continued forcing the kiss for a few more seconds.
L.u.s.t had said that Olivia could only ration properly after receiving enough life mana. After two minutes, in a vain struggle, she started to calm down.
There was still internal bleeding in her head, but Olivia could already reason. She understood that Lucien was kissing her, and since he is so much stronger than her, it is useless to fight.
Of course, she wouldn't let him just abuse her, so she bit his tongue. Although Lucien didn't feel much pain, he still stopped the kiss and looked at her with an upset expression.
"I'm healing you. Don't think that I have any s.e.x.u.a.l desire for you." As Olivia was already better, Lucien stood up, giving her time to calm down.
Olivia said nothing and tried to understand the situation. She realized she is in a bathroom, and her body is clean.
Then she noticed Scarlett and L.u.s.t looking at her with thoughtful expressions. Then she looked at Lucien and started to stutter.
"I- I- You? W-what did you do to my b-body?" Olivia knew her scars made her look ugly, but she was still n.a.k.e.d, and Lucien was kissing her, so she can't help but have mixed thoughts.
"Scarlett." Lucien did not answer Olivia but spoke Scarlett's name in an authoritative tone. She understood and quickly pointed her wound on her shoulder to Olivia.
"He healed you just like he did me. I don't know how, but he can really heal and increase our power with... Well, his body and actions, I still don't know much, but it is all true."
Lucien couldn't help but smile at Scarlett. She quickly understood how to cooperate and obey him.
"Scarlett has already agreed to be an obedient girl. Now it's your turn and decides if you are going to cooperate with me, or you are going to die."
Despite being Scarlett's enemy and trusting no one there, Olivia couldn't deny that even though it was unbelievable, that still could be true.
The horrible pain in her body was decreasing, and she also saw the scar on Scarlett's shoulder almost healed. Olivia also remembered how severely poisoned Cassidy was and said Lucien had cured her.
Adding to the fact that Astrid and Cassidy became much more powerful after meeting Lucien, Olivia believed that he could really heal using his body.
Still, Olivia is a very proud and suspicious person. "I don't understand. After all I did to Cassidy, why are you going to forgive me and still empower me? Don't you think I'll betray you later?"
Lucien couldn't deny that Olivia had a reason. After all, the most sensible thing would be to nip it in the bud.
But he was confident in ensuring their loyalty, thus having two useful and even disposable people, unlike his beloved wives.
"You will not want to betray me, and I will not allow that either, so you don't have to worry. You just need to agree to be obedient, and I will not only give you power, but I will also heal your scars."
Olivia still had a lot of questions, and she knew things weren't so simple, but she had no choice now.
Of course, the idea of getting rid of those damned scars that plagued her for so long was tempting. Plus, the fact that Lucien could give her the same power he gave Astrid and Cassidy.
Still, she knew there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. She would have to sell herself to Lucien, and what he would do to her worried her.
"I know I have no right to negotiate here, but I would like to know at least the extent to which I am going to have to serve you and how exactly you are going to heal my scar."
Lucien liked Olivia's honesty. Although Scarlett accepted everything more easily, he knew that they both have similar doubts, and just acted in different ways.
He looked at Olivia. "Your body is still badly hurt, but I can heal you with just my essence. As you were unable to treat your scars alone, I think the problem is more complicated, so we have two options."
"First, you can drink my essence several times for several days until your scars disappear. This process will be more complex and take a lot of time from me, which is not good."
"The second option is to have s.e.x a few times. Depending on how we do this, it may only take two or three sessions. This is the easiest method for both of us."
Olivia can't help but blush a little. "Are you really okay with having s.e.x with me? Are you not disgusted by my face??"
Lucien could understand that things were not easy for Olivia, but her face was the least of the problems for him.
"I can't say that I'm happy to have s.e.x with the woman who attacked my wife. But I think you can still redeem yourself by being useful to us."
"And no, I have nothing against your appearance because I'm not doing it for pleasure."
Olivia didn't know whether Lucien's response was good or bad. Of course, she didn't expect someone handsome like him to take pleasure with her, but she also didn't find it good that her first time would mean nothing.
The more she thought, the more her head hurt. The pain in her body that was decreasing began to increase, and she concluded it was the effect of Lucien's "healing" stepped.
"OK, OK. I accepted, but you cannot humiliate me or force me to do degrading things." Olivia wanted Lucien's help but still thought he is the devil himself, and she feared what would happen next.
Lucien had no intention of playing with Olivia, but he also didn't like her demanding attitude. He approached her quickly and held her chin tightly.
"You attacked my wife, you attacked me, and right now your my prisoner, I offer you healing and power, but you want to demand more from me?"
Olivia panicked. "I- I- I'm s-sorry. I just fear you make m-"
Lucien squeezed Olivia's chin, preventing her from continuing to speak. "This is my final proposal, either you obey all my orders whatever it will be, or I will kill you."
Then he pushed her back, making Olvia hit against the other corner of the bathtub. She was angry at Lucien but also angry at herself for ending up in this situation.
Lucien didn't think Olivia's proud posture was bad, but she would have to be loyal and obedient to him, or else it wouldn't make sense for him to keep her alive.
Then he approached Scarlett and took her in his arms. Scarlett didn't resist and hug his neck.
"I will take care of Scarlett while you think about my proposal." Lucien wasted no more time and left the bathroom with Scarlett.
L.u.s.t looked at Olivia with a pitying expression, then she shook her head before dematerializing, returning to Lucien's body.
Olivia stared at the water as she tried to organize her thoughts. As her pain slowly increased, she couldn't help but remember Lucien's kiss.
Not only did his kiss make her feel better, but it was also extremely pleasurable.
She licked a little of his saliva around her lips, feeling a slight effect of his life mana and his delicious taste, which could easily addict her.
Then she angrily punched the water. "Damn!! Damn!!! Damn!!!!!!"
------------------------------
Lucien gently carried Scarlett to his bedroom and placed her on a sofa. Then he walked over to a wardrobe, picked two towels, and threw one to her.
"Thanks." Scarlett took the towel and started to dry herself. She still couldn't feel her legs, but her upper body was almost completely healed.
Lucien took off his wet shirt and started to dry his chest. Scarlett couldn't help but blush while looking at him.
He realized her gaze and spoke playfully. "Do you like what you see?"
Scarlett blushed even more while becoming very embarrassed. "It's not what you are thinking. I just want to heal my legs."
Lucien couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. "Where is that manipulative and daring woman? Do you become a cute little girl when you're vulnerable and hurt?"
Scarlett was always a strong and independent woman. After the tragedy that happened to her family, she could only count on herself.
Whatever the problems and dangers she faced, she always managed to survive. But being crippled was a terrible shock to her ego and confidence.
She couldn't bear to live in fear of not being able to defend herself. But Lucien came up with the solution quickly.
Although she was Cassidy's enemy, he was willing to heal her and empower her, also bringing her into his group.
Just as she managed to climb among the mercenary ranks with her own efforts until she became a great leader, Scarlett had hopes of gaining Lucien's trust over time.
She understood that she couldn't manipulate him. But she also realized that he is a kind and fair person. So she could trust him and also receive benefits if she behaves well.
Scarlett always wanted power to save her brother, and now Lucien could give her that power. Of course, she would do anything to get his trust and respect.
Lucien saw Scarlett's thoughtful look and approached her. "We didn't have a good start, so let's start again today."
"Mm." Scarlett wanted to show her goodwill to him, but Lucien's bare chest view make her embarrassed, and she lowered her head.
Lucien liked the shy Scarlett much more than the annoying mercenary that tried to manipulate him. He gently lifted her head and kissed her affectionately.
Scarlett loved kissing more and more. Lucien's kindness was breaking all the barriers in her heart, and Scarlett had no resistance to the new feelings that grew inside her.
Lucien knew it would be challenging to make manipulative and proud women obey him by force. But he also knew that he could break any resistance from them with affection.
Using his body as a weapon, and his gentle actions as powerful attacks, he would make Scarlett a strong woman, who would help him conquer Portgreen more quickly.
After kissing her for a few minutes, Lucien took Scarlett and placed her on the bed. "Do you already feel your legs?"
Despite having received a lot of life mana, her spinal injury was severe and, she still didn't feel anything below from the waist. "Not yet. Is this a problem?"
Lucien stroked her face tenderly."To heal you completely, we will have to do many things, but I want you to be able to feel your first time."
Scarlett was shocked. "How are you sure it will be my first time?"
Lucien can't help laughing and talking jokingly. "I can smell your v.i.r.g.i.n scent."
"You idiot!!" Scarlett turned her face in embarrassment.
Despite being curious about how he knew about it, Scarlett was happy that Lucien was considerate for her first time. After all, that would be an important event for any woman.
Lucien knew he could give her pleasure with touching and kissing until her spine recovery enough that she could feel something again, so they would begin the real healing session.
Then he started kissing her neck before kissing her cute ear, making Scarlett softly m.o.a.n.
"It's not that bad to be my little pet, right?" Lucien would treat Scarlett with respect if she behaved well, but he also wanted to tease her.
Scarlett knew that Lucien was teasing her, but she still tried to look upset. "I don't like being called a little pet."
"Oh, really? When we finish this session, you'll beg to be my little pet." Lucien began to caress Scarlett's beautiful b.r.e.a.s.t while kissing her ear.
She tried to say something, but Lucien's touch made her m.o.a.n uncontrollably.
Then when she thought it couldn't get any better, he bit the tip of her ear, making her m.o.a.n loudly.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
