“Absolutely not,” William said.

Rulu’s face furrowed in shock and arms flew up in a tantrum. “You cannot refuse me. You cannot!” She muttered something in her native language, pulling at her hair. “Unthinkable. How dare you deny an offer from a royal aboleth? I saw into your soul, William, I know you desire me. Why deny it?”

“Yeeah… About that…” William rubbed his neck as he minced his thoughts, giving a sidelong glance to Ember who was waiting by the wagon. He looked down at the furious Rulu, furious and naked in all her sexy slender glory. “Look—”

“I am looking!”

“Rulu, few things. Yes, you’re attractive. We fucked yesterday so that you could use your magic and I don’t regret it. But, right now, I’m hoping to build things with Ember and I don’t want to risk things with her. Plus, I’m not a big fan of you paying with sex for access to my magic.”

“How does your arrangement with her hinder accepting my offer?” She was genuinely baffled, like the idea of monogamous relations did not click.

“Right…” William dragged a hand over his face and through his hair.

He realized he had not discussed things at all with Ember in regards to what she was expecting beyond… well, a natural progression, which he had assumed would be them being a couple. Just a couple. One plus one. But, Ember had mentioned something about humans, dragons, and harems, hadn’t she? So did that mean it was on the table? Or was giving in to this a one way ticket to a life of being a sleazy fuckboy?

William cursed. Life on Earth had not prepared him for a sudden burst in popularity.

He shook his head, trying to compose some logic from his thoughts. “Thing is, even if Ember was fine with the idea. You’re not the only one who glimpsed at the other’s soul during the blessing.”

“You… You peered into my thoughts?” Rulu’s gills flared up the same deep crimson as her cheeks. Even when angry-flustered, she had an adorable pout.

William’s lips cracked into a grin.

“Noooo.” Rulu groaned, covering her face with fists as if she was about to implode from him seeing all her innermost secrets. The horrified look on her face made him feel a guilty twinge of compassion. Poor girl was troubled by an almost stoic pride, the likes of which William had not encountered in a girl since a certain overachiever in his junior year in college.

However, she soon recovered her fierce demeanor. “But so what? What does it change if you did peer into me?”

William released a sigh. “Hold up. I’m saying that if you want to, you can come with us to Nastall. I can spare a blessing a day on most days for you, if it helps you train your magic, and you’d be safer there in case that leviathan does show up. No cost.”

If she had been baffled before she was now dumbstruck.

When she didn’t speak, William continued, “Even if I didn’t feel personally responsible for
