The temple shimmered beneath the twin moons like a dream spun from silver and silence. Each column glowed faintly, etched in ancient lunar glyphs. Lucas stepped forward, boots echoing across marble veins. The air itself trembled, thick with perfume, memory… and desire.
He had been many things since awakening as Lustborn—virgin, vessel, monster, messiah—but here, at the edge of the Elven Queen's sacred sanctum, he felt something deeper still.
Judged.
A crescent-shaped door eased open without touch. Cool moonlight spilled in, brushing his skin like fingertips. He entered.
Selene stood at the altar's center, barefoot on polished moonstone, her silver-white gown clinging like mist to her willowy frame. Pale hair streamed like moonbeams down her back, unbound. A circlet of starlight crowned her head. Her eyes—twin violet galaxies—met his with calm fire.
"You came alone, Lustborn," she said. Her voice was wind in midnight branches—calm, but ancient.
"I had to," Lucas answered. "The Seduction Pact must be sacred. Political pretense would only pollute it."
Selene tilted her head slightly. "And you would pollute me instead?"
Lucas did not flinch. "No. I would worship you."
She watched him in silence—long enough for the ache to build behind his ribs.
Then, she turned and began to walk. Her gown shimmered with each step, translucent where the moonlight kissed it. She led him to a moonlit dais, where twin goblets waited, steam rising from their silvered rims.
"Moonroot wine," she said. "A truth-tether. It binds bodies... and reveals souls."
He took the chalice. Drank. A sharp sweetness bloomed on his tongue, followed by cold clarity. She drank too.

Lucas exhaled slowly.
"I don't want to conquer you, Selene," he said. "I want to belong to this moment. To you."
Her eyes flickered. A breath caught.
Then—wordlessly—she untied the knot at her collarbone. The gown fell in silence.
And Lucas saw her fully.
Pale and sculpted like alabaster beneath moonlight, her figure was elegant but womanly. High breasts tipped with dusky pink, a soft belly marred only by a faint starlike birthmark, wide hips that hinted at ancient fertility rites. Her thighs shimmered faintly with the moon's blessing.
She was untouched. Unclaimed. Yet radiant with poised power.
Lucas stepped forward, trembling—but not from fear. From reverence. He lifted a hand and paused. "May I?"
Selene nodded. Her voice came low and firm. "Touch as a supplicant. Not a sovereign."
He knelt first.
And touched.
His fingers met her waist, then lower back. Her skin was cool and impossibly smooth, as though kissed by centuries of moonlight. She trembled—barely. Lucas pressed his lips to the hollow beneath her ribs. A quiet gasp escaped her.
He rose slowly, hands exploring, mouth mapping the sacred lines of her collarbone, then down, across the curve of her breast—
Her fingers sank into his hair.

He groaned softly as sensation warped. Time stretched like silk. Her breath came in slow, aching waves. When he traced the tip of his tongue along the sensitive line of her neck, the world glowed.
"Lie with me," she whispered.
They lowered to the dais, her hair pooling like starlight beneath her.
Lucas undressed slowly, reverently. Selene watched him—not with lust alone, but with a quiet yearning. A need to trust. To be known.
When he settled between her parted thighs, their bodies aligned like eclipse and moon.
"I feel everything," she whispered.
"So do I."
He entered her slowly. Inch by aching inch.
Her breath hitched.
Then the world opened.

Their union became ritual—movement and magic, breath and bond. Each thrust summoned a wave of glowing glyphs across the moonstone. Her back arched, pale thighs gripping him tighter. Her cries rose, musical and holy, blending with the chimes of starlight overhead.
She came like a lunar storm—silent, sudden, soul-shaking. Her fingers clutched his back. Her legs locked around his hips.
Lucas followed moments later, groaning into her mouth as his release flooded into her soul, divine and irreversible.
Then—silence.
Not empty. Sacred.
He collapsed beside her, sweat-slick and stunned. The silver glyphs pulsed once more, then faded.
Selene turned her head slowly. Her voice a breath. "You are not what they fear, Lucas Gray."
"No," he said softly. "But I may become what they need."
She reached up, fingers tracing his jaw. "Then rise, Lustborn. The Elven Queen will not oppose you… not tonight."
But even as she smiled faintly, shadows stirred outside the temple's doors. Silver-clad guards. Elven ministers. Whispers already thickening like fog.
Royal deception, indeed.
And in the moon's afterglow, Lucas felt it—power, yes… but also risk. The deeper he tasted divinity, the more the world would demand of him. The Seduction Path was no longer hidden. It was revealed. Watched. And coveted.
To be continued…
