Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Wrapped in Warmth

Kaiden glanced around the pale expanse again, then back toward where he felt the System’s presence hovering.

"So," he asked, voice calmer now, fatigue dulled into something manageable, "When will this strange limbo-like state end?"

There was a brief pause.

[The Successor has already been provided with the means.]

Kaiden blinked. "I have?"

[Yes.]

Something shifted at the edge of his awareness.

A spell.

[Temporary Spell Acquired: End]

Kaiden stared at the empty glow ahead of him, then huffed out a quiet breath.

[The spell will terminate the current state and return the Successor to the point immediately following the activation of Begin.]

Understanding settled in.

"Alright. [End]."

The pale light shattered inward like glass pulled into a singular point. Sensation crashed back all at once: weight, gravity, warmth, the familiar hum of mana in the air. Kaiden sucked in a sharp breath as the world snapped into focus.

Solid ground beneath him.

Candles.

The circle.

He was seated exactly where he had been when he cast [Begin], legs folded, hands resting loosely on his knees.

And pressed close around him were the girls.

They were awake.

All of them.

They sat in the circle with him, eyes bright, expressions soft and relieved, smiles already forming the moment his eyes opened. Just warmth and recognition.

Kaiden swallowed hard.

"You girls all did it," he murmured, pride and relief threading together in his voice. "You even woke up faster than me."

For half a second, they just stared.

Then they exploded.

"Kaiden!"

"You’re back!"

"You dummy, you scared us!"

They lunged at him all at once, laughter and voices overlapping as the circle dissolved into motion. Kaiden barely had time to chuckle before he was tackled backward as bodies piled onto him, arms wrapping tight, warmth pressing in from every side.

He laughed despite himself, breathless and hoarse, hands coming up instinctively to pull them closer.

The trial was over.

And for the first time since it began, Kaiden let himself lie there, pinned beneath the people he’d fought for, and simply breathe.

Bastet was the first to notice.

While the others were still half-laughing, half-clinging, the tanned felinid leaned in closer than the rest, nose brushing along Kaiden’s neck and collarbone. Her ears twitched. Her tail swayed slowly, deliberately. She inhaled again, deeper this time, as if re-committing his scent to memory.

"Mmm..." she murmured, low and needy.

She dragged her nose along his jaw, then dipped down to his throat, breathing him in with almost reverent intensity. Her tongue flicked out to leave a slow, possessive lick against his skin, unmistakably claiming, like she needed to reassure herself that he was real.

Bastet then pulled back just enough to look at him, golden eyes narrowing with instinctive focus. One hand rested on his chest, fingers splayed as if feeling for something beneath the surface.

"...Is something wrong?" she asked softly. "Master, you’re smiling, but... you’re troubled beneath it all."

The mood shifted.

The others looked at Kaiden again, really looked this time.

The way his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.

The tension still lingering in his shoulders.

The way he held them a fraction tighter, like he was afraid they’d slip away.

Realization rippled through the group.

Soft gasps followed.

"The Choco Kitty is right..." Luna whispered.
