Chapter 164: Growing effects of domains (R-18)
Cassian had already said his goodbyes to all his friends and subordinates, but bidding farewell to Lumine had been his favorite moment. He managed to steal a few passionate minutes with her, their kisses growing increasingly intense. Lumine kissed him back hungrily, leaving them both breathless. If not for the release he'd had earlier with Lucy, things might have escalated further.
Now, he was in the carriage on his way back to the city, alone with Lucy. Reflecting on his time here, he realized he had accomplished a lot. The biggest achievement was unlocking his domain. However, he hadn't yet reached the rank of a circle warrior, as he still hadn't learned a mana-gathering technique. His breakthrough had come so suddenly that he hadn't had the chance to prepare, but he was determined to find the right technique in due time.
His sudden breakthrough had thrown all his plans for becoming a circle warrior into disarray. However, he wasn't discouraged. He just needed the help of a mage to create his first circle. Though he wasn't sure how to go about it, he knew he could rely on the knowledgeable people around him. He was confident they'd be willing to assist—especially Lady Katherine.
The thought of meeting her again made him a little excited. Still, he regretted not getting the chance to properly say goodbye to Russella. Unknown to most, he had grown quite close to her during his time in the village. Unfortunately, he didn't think he'd have another chance to see her anytime soon now that her troubles with the tremors had been resolved.
It turned out that the situation was simple as she just has to stop praying to some supposed deity, which Pastor Abraham Cronus had instructed her. Alix had also taken her bone necklace for investigation, trying to determine its origin and effects, leaving Russella free of her burden—for now.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly for the others as Cassian finally left the village behind. Once inside the carriage, he slid closer to Lucy, but not before pulling the drapes closed over the windows. Lucy raised an amused eyebrow at his actions. Even though she had a pretty good idea of what he wanted, she still asked with a teasing tone, "What do you want?"
Smiling, Cassian reached out and carefully removed her hat—a grayish one that matched her outfit perfectly. He had come to realize that Lucy had quite the collection of hats, as she always seemed to wear a different one every time he saw her.
"Nothing much, just wanted to admire you up close," he replied, his hand gently squeezing her thigh as his gaze lingered on her face. For some reason, he noticed something peculiar—he felt like he was at the same height as her now, even though he used to be a head shorter.
Lucy seemed to notice the same thing, her brow furrowing in confusion as she asked, "Did you grow taller?"
"I think so..." Cassian replied, glancing down at himself. His frame did seem a bit lankier than before.
They were surprised, but not entirely shocked. Both knew that the effects of domain awakening could significantly impact the body, causing changes like this. It wasn't unusual for such transformations to take place over the course of months. Cassian might even grow taller still, but he couldn't help hoping that other aspects of him had also increased in size. Height wasn't something he was particularly worried about—he was already in a growing phase. This extra boost just felt like a bonus.
Lucy didn't seem pleased as she muttered, "So, you won't be this cute boy anymore..." Her words left Cassian puzzled, prompting him to ask, "Does it matter?"
For Lucy, it certainly did. His slightly awkward charm only added to his appeal after everything that had happened. But as she recalled his performance the previous night, a sly smile spread across her face. Shaking her head playfully, she said, "No, it doesn't..."
Lucy got up gracefully, then settled herself firmly on Cassian's lap. Her thick thighs wrapped around him, pulling them impossibly closer. Cassian's excitement was undeniable as his hands instinctively found her hips, squeezing her soft curves while pressing her against him. He inhaled deeply, savoring her intoxicating scent.
As the desire coursed through him, he couldn't stop the words that slipped out, his voice thick with want. "I wanna do you so hard, Miss Lucy..."
Lucy chuckled softly at his boldness, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Slowly, she began unbuttoning her shirt, exposing her skin inch by inch. "I wanna do the same to you..." she replied, her voice dripping with playful dominance.
Cassian didn't hesitate, his grin spreading wide as he nodded eagerly. "Then do it," he challenged, his tone full of anticipation. "Don't stop until I'm begging you to..."
Lucy chuckled again, her laughter low and teasing, as she unhooked her bra. Her full bosom spilled free with a soft jiggle, their smooth, creamy skin glowing faintly in the dim light. Her slightly darker, pinkish nipples stood firm, looking even more enticing than ripe cherries, which they so closely resembled. Cassian couldn't tear his eyes away.
"Don't take it back now," she teased, a playful smirk on her lips as she raised her hips to shimmy out of her skirt. Cassian eagerly helped her, sliding the fabric down and revealing her thick, jiggly thighs and her round, plush backside. Her soft, squeezable curves were so tempting that Cassian immediately grabbed hold, his hands kneading her like he never wanted to stop.
He slipped her beige panties down as well, exposing her slightly damp black bush. But his attention kept darting back to her chest, those perfect mounds just inches from his face.
With a confident grin, he looked up at her and said, "That depends on you—if you're good enough to even make me beg in first place."

Now completely bare, Lucy leaned in to help Cassian with his pants, her fingers deftly undoing the buttons while he slid them down with a smirk. "I think I can make my cutie pie beg," she teased confidently.
'Like hell you could...' Cassian thought to himself, amused. Despite inviting her to take charge, he knew full well how far her stamina could go. Last time, he had left her in such a state of disarray that her pleas had turned into incoherent mumbles by the end. He was pretty certain today wouldn't be any different.
Still, he wasn't planning to hold back and was curious to see how far she'd go to turn the tables on him. If she could.
