"Ha! You must think I'm a fool if you extend this offer to me."
My eyes were closed. I knew her game. Lilims had a body irresistible to men, but I managed to suppress the lust that swelled inside as I saw her from a distance. Now, she was a few feet away from me. By now, I was as good as dead. She could turn my plants into some sort of wheat woman ready to seduce me or she could make my dog into a monster like her. All I has to defend myself was my words. Escape had left as soon as she got close to me.
"Of course you would say that. I really thought your mind would change."
"Change?! You think after what you did to my town, my mind would change?! You violated my town, changed my sisters into love-addicted whores, and toppled our way of life with your lustful words. And after all that, you thought my mind would change?! You're mad if that is true."
I turned away from her and walked away from her, hearing her huff as I walked. I didn't care if she would let me escape or not, I didn't want anything to do with her
"But-"
"But what? What could you possibly have to say now? 'Oh, Henry, but I can show you a whole new world of pleasure.' World of pleasure my butt. Some worlds aren't meant for exploring."
She let out a distraught huff, but I didn't feel remorse. She has all the men she could want in my former home and yet she's here visiting me, the one man who she couldn't have from Accreton.
'What did she want? Did she want to add me to her collection of boy toys? Did she really come here just to offer me a chance to go back to that hellhole? She must be crazy.'
I suddenly tripped over a shovel on the ground, my eyes still closed. I felt myself fall, but I never hit the ground.
A gloved hand held my collar as I laid diagonally in the air. I slowly was lifted up and held closely.
"I can feel it in you, Henry. You are suppressing it well, but you shouldn't have to do this. Just let it out and be free."
Her voice was smooth like silk and soothing. Her body was warm. I nearly gave in, but held myself together even though it was difficult.
"Let go of me."
"No, my dear. I-"
"Get back!"
I pushed her body away and her arms released from my head. She heard her stumble back a bit before she seem to get balanced again. I was breathing heavily, tears running down my face from my closed eyes.
"You! Get away! Stop it! You can't have me! You can't..."
I fell to my knees and sobbed. My face was hot and tears came out of my eyes like rivers. I felt her pick me up and hug me, her warmth embracing me.
"What do you truly want, my dear?"
I sobbed into her breasts as she pet my back.
"I want my old life back! I want the joy and happiness!"
"Tsk tsk, poor thing. Don't worry, my sweet. I will give you those things back and so much more. You won't feel this pain anymore."
She brought my face up to hers and I opened my eyes. She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Her lips softly touched mine and I felt my sadness fade.
"I love you, Henry."
