The World Is Mine For The Taking

She squirmed with her body restless, squirming as if trying to fight against her own nerves before she finally forced herself to look straight into my eyes.

"I… I want to be included in the operation," she said, her voice carrying a strange mixture of determination and hesitation.

I raised an eyebrow. "But you already are. You're the backup Clarett will send if something goes wrong, isn't that right?"

The plan was solid. If anything went sideways, Clarett had a backup team prepared to jump in at a moment's notice. That was the group I personally ordered her to hold ready, and Aegis wasn't just part of that group—she was the captain. She was already deeply involved in this operation.

But judging from the firmness in her tone, I had misunderstood what she really meant.

"That's not what I'm talking about," she replied, her gaze steady, almost burning. "I want to be part of the group that goes in directly. I want to be there—on the front line."

I let out a slow breath. I see…

The problem was, that team was already complete. Every role was filled with every position secured. There wasn't room for one more, no matter who it was.

"I'm sorry, but the team is already deci—"

Before I could even finish my words, she cut me off, her voice trembling but firm. "I'll take any role. I don't care what it is. I'll do anything, just let me be part of it." Her head dipped down, her eyes hidden under her bangs, as if she didn't want me to see her expression.

That alone told me how much this meant to her. This wasn't a simple request. This was her pouring everything she had into asking. I couldn't deny her resolve. Still… the truth remained. The team was locked in with Solaris had officially accepted it, and I couldn't just bend the rules on a whim. Unless something happened to shift the situation, I didn't see how she could fit in.

Then she lifted her face slightly, her eyes sharp but desperate. "What I'm saying is… I'll go with you. Not with the others—just you. I'll follow you. I'll even act as your happy-go-lucky lover, or even your slave. Anything. You don't really think it'd be that hard for you to make that happen, do you?"

I leaned back, processing her words.

…So that was her angle. If she came with me disguised as a lover or a slave, it wouldn't raise suspicion. No one would think twice about it. She wouldn't even need to hide her ears—because as a lover or a slave, it would make sense.

And for her to go this far… despite how much she hated me to the core… It was clear she really wanted this. No, it wasn't about me. I could see that was because of Artemis. She loved her, that much was obvious. And she wanted to stay close to her for as long as possible. That was the only reason she was willing to swallow her pride and humiliate herself like this.

"…Fine. I'll allow it," I said at last. "But only under one condition."

Her head snapped up, eyes glimmering with a mix of relief and suspicion. "What is it?"

"You'll follow everything I say. No exceptions."

"H-Huh?"

The sound she made was full of disbelief, almost flustered. It was as if my demand meant something more like something indecent for example... like following my words would somehow put her virginity at risk. She even pulled her arms in as though trying to shield her body.

But that wasn't what I meant at all. In truth, it was a simple condition. For everything to work seamlessly, she had to follow my lead. The truth was, she was an unpredictable factor. She was literally a walking unknown variable. Left to her own decisions, she could easily trigger a chain reaction, a domino effect that could ruin the entire operation. That was why I needed her to agree, without hesitation, to follow my orders completely.

If she refused, then she'd never get the chance to be near Artemis.

She bit down on her lip, teeth grinding as she visibly wrestled with herself. Finally, her better judgment seemed to break through, and she nodded.

"I-I'll follow everything you say," she admitted, her voice small but steady.

"You promise?" I pressed.

"Y-Yes…"

"Then say 'pinky promise.'" I held out my hand, extending my little finger toward her, like a child demanding sincerity in the most ridiculous way.

Her expression twisted, anger and humiliation flashing across her face. Instead of taking my finger, she suddenly started to draw her bow, her hands trembling.

"P-Pinky promise…" she muttered, her voice cracking, and to my surprise, tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

It was honestly funny to see Aegis—someone always so rigid and so strong—reduced to this. But it wasn't hard to understand. The woman she loved was there, and she'd do anything, absolutely anything, to get close to her.

I couldn't help but feel bad, though. Artemis didn't feel that way about her—not the way Aegis did.

???'s POV

I didn't know why, but just the sight of him—standing there and doing absolutely nothing—was enough to set my lower body aflame. My breath quickened, and I could feel the heat pooling between my thighs. I couldn't fight it anymore. My hand slipped down, fingers trembling as I began rubbing the most sensitive part of myself.

It didn't make sense. I despised the thought of a human—or any race other than elves—being close to me. The very idea should have made my skin crawl. But with him… just looking at him, I couldn't help it. My mood shifted, my body ached, and I felt like I was being pulled toward him by some invisible force I couldn't resist.

It was maddening, this indescribable feeling that clawed at me.

My fingers slid deeper into my pussy, stroking, curling and thrusting as wetness coated them. And all the while, he remained there, clueless and completely unaware that he had become the unwilling source of my desperate masturbation.

I bit hard on my finger to muffle the sounds threatening to escape my lips, but it was useless. The sloppy, wet squelch of my cunt echoed faintly, shameless and loud. I couldn't control it no matter how much I tried. All I could do was pray he wouldn't notice.

Then it hit me. The orgasm tore through me suddenly and violently.

"Mmmmhhhhh…~"

The sound slipped from my throat, muffled but desperate, as my entire body tensed and shook. It felt so good that for a moment, my mind shattered into fragments, blank and blissful.

I'd never experienced something like this with another elf. Not once. Maybe it was because they couldn't give me what I craved and couldn't make it feel this good. This release… it was on another level.

And even though I had never been with a man before, I couldn't deny it. If just looking at one could do this to me… then actually fucking one…

My lips trembled and my body still quivering from the aftershocks.

I wanted it.

I wanted to get fucked.
