USEFUL ➴ Illumi x Reader

XCII. Like

His eyes widened at my proposal, I smirked, this would be a good way to spend time until the marriage requirements. He remained silent and in place, so I assumed that was a no. Reminded me of the time I had invited him to join a bath with me. "What time will the procedures be?"

"Late afternoon, 8 pm or so..."

I hummed, as I rummaged through my closet looking for something comfortable and that didn't disturb during a fight. After picking up some f/c pieces, I skipped to the bathroom. Quickly turning on the water and preparing for a quick shower, when I turned to close the door, my heart came up to my throat as I jumped, Illumi was right there behind me. Quietly staring.

"You can't possibly hope to continue the childish bullying in the bathroom." I whined as I failed in my attempts to push him into the room.

"Oh, I can, and I will." He loomed to sit on the chair near the unused light wood vanity.

"For someone who wanted me to stay you're having quite the attitude after you learn that it's forever." I rolled my eyes, stripping in front of him and leaping into the large bathtub, grabbing the shower head and wetting myself, a sigh leaving my lips grateful for the perfect warmth of the water.

"For someone who despised me and wanted nothing to do with me, you seem too pleased with the idea of being stuck with me forever." I hooked the showerhead on its place and grabbed a lovely orange scented shampoo.

"You say that while you're gazing at me as I take a shower, if this isn't married life, I don't know what is." My muscles relaxed as my fingers massaged my scalp, that was a good answer! So good he didn't find time to answer. I mentally patted myself in the back as I grabbed some creamy body wash, "What else? Are you going to scrub my back?"

"That isn't something that would tick you off." I snickered, proceeding with my shower.

"Hmmmm~~ True..." I jumped when I saw his silhouette moving in the corner of my e/c eye, he moved closer, grabbing the body wash.

"Or is it?" His cold hands massaged my back as I shivered torn between the creamy texture of the body wash and his stiff fingers.

"Nope, not uncomfortable at all..." I whispered, when he was done, he returned to his chair and I rinsed everything off. Soon I was leaping out of the bathtub and grabbing a fluffy towel. "Why are you still here? Got nothing to do?"

"Ah, no I'm waiting for you to show me if sex with you on a good mood and fine physical health is better than what we've had so far." I blinked, once, and then twice, slowly, as my eyes locked with his. My hand closed on the toothbrush and routine led me to brush my teeth. What did he want? Why did he have nothing better to do? Did he expect me to back off if he pestered me too much?

After feeling spotless clean and not having any mourning breath, I stared at myself in the mirror, running a hand through my wet hair. I was on a good mood, relaxed, my body didn't hurt anywhere, I had plenty rest, I was in the best form ever. I yanked the towel that had been covering me having it land on Illumi as I leaned against the doorframe, my right shoulder feeling the coolness of the wood. "Alright then, I'll spend my time with you if you answer one question."

"What is it?" He got up, folding the towel and placing it on top of the chair before approaching me, leaving little space between my naked self and his clothes.

"Why are you marrying me?" His eyes pierced mine, a bit of hesitation crossing them as he moved to the room, allowing me to release the breath I had unconsciously been holding. I followed him, eyes never leaving his movements as he gracefully sat on my bed.

"I did give the yes, hoping for you to be tortured and never accept the final test. What a surprise it was... So there's no way I can go back, also, you're useful. I can tolerate you, if only you were a bit more obedient..." My eyebrows rose, my eyes narrowed in a look of disgust.

"If only you were a bit more caring, I'd like you more personally." I replied, as the coolness of the air brushed my wet skin and caused me to shiver.

"Oh... Do you like me, Y/N?" My hands landed on both his shoulders, as I pulled him down to the bed allowing my body to feel the roughness of the fabric of his clothes as I laid all my weight on him. He allowed it, and I found my nails lightly scratching his neck while I thought of an answer. Did I like Illumi? He was one that only showed care with his actions, I wouldn't mind being spoiled by him, if only he cared more for me... The realisation hit me, thankfully my head was buried in his neck hiding my surprised look.

"To a certain extent, yes, there are times where I'd gladly pull your guts out and feed them to Mike if I could though..." I released my aura feeling it flow as I thought of the seductress, I wouldn't use her for manipulation today, I wanted to test the effects of the aura she emanated. Who better to test them on than Illumi? He gripped my wrists and rotated our bodies, violently slamming my back on the bed.

"What are you trying to do?" I smirked.

"Testing the effects of this aura, now mind releasing me? I was starting something." He hesitated before going back to his initial position and I straddled him, hands lightly caressing his chest as I went back to suck his neck. "Do you like me, Illumi?"

His body froze but relaxed soon under my touch as I slid my hands under his top feeling his warm skin. While he thought of that, I ripped his crop top off and smiled as I started my way kissing down from his neck to the hem of his pants. His muscles were hard, and his skin sometimes tightened attempting to hide larger reactions.

"I-" Illumi started answering as I worked on the zipper of his pants. "find you attractive and I am honestly eager to see how your manipulation game goes." He nudged me off him as he quickly got up and pulled his pants down before laying on the bed again. "You intrigue me and you aren't dislikeable."

My gaze fell on his beautiful porcelain skin, his tense lean muscular torso, his black boxers, his large muscular thighs, I jumped when his long thin hands gripped both sides of my hips and brought me on top of him. "That's a lot of words to say yes." I heard myself whisper, though I couldn't for the love of me hide my small smirk and mentally cursed at the on edge warm feeling that was peeking through my lust. I deserved to be stoned for liking this complete piece of work that was Illumi.
