Sitting. Behaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am tied down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And?\" Sira smiled sweetly, brushing her fingers across his collarbone like she was straightening a tie on a hostage. \"You’ve been running on pure incubus fumes for a half day. Time to reboot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear,\" Lux said through clenched teeth, \"I will audit your soul bond log for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already altered the budget,\" she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when Lullaby padded into the room barefoot, humming softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lux, paralyzed mid-glare, realized he was doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft, lazy sloth-demon melody that slid down his spine like warm syrup and immediately triggered his nervous system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers twitched.

Every plate was arranged like a luxury banquet photo shoot, roast lamb glazed with infernal honey, wine-braised lotus roots, hand-seared abyssal scallops, and a side of truffle soup in bowls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dinner is ready,\" Lyra said with her usual neutral tone. \"Please enjoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux tilted his head as far as the bindings allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly am I supposed to enjoy?\" he muttered. \"I can’t move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the puppet servants gently bowed and placed a spoon on the edge of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glared at it like it had personally betrayed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s when Naomi arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent. Graceful. Deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a silk-black house robe and a smile so calm it almost felt angelic... if you didn’t know her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying a tray like it was a ceremonial dagger, she walked straight up to him and set it down beside the soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can help you, darling~\" she said, lifting a spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought the spoon to his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will bite you,\" Lux warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naomi leaned forward and whispered, \"Be a good boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something in his soul flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to turn his head away, just a little, enough to retain some dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bad move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sira, from behind, casually pinched both his cheeks like a doting aunt catching a sassy nephew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, ah. No resisting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unhand my face—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look adorable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux groaned as the spoon touched his lips. Naomi tilted it gently. The creamy, ridiculously rich truffle soup slid into his mouth like insult-flavored silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chewed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated that it tasted divine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t make that face,\" Naomi said, bringing another spoonful. \"You’re getting nutrients. Your aura was literally flickering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux dead-eyed the ceiling. \"I am a dignified infernal CFO. This is torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therapeutic,\" Naomi corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped his chin with a cloth napkin like he was a fussy prince and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enter Mira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked into the room, perfectly styled as usual and immediately froze when she saw the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux. Tied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sira behind him holding ribbons like reins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naomi spoon-feeding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lullaby pressed to his side like a sleepy kitten with a death wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh gods,\" Mira choked, clutching the doorway for support. \"His face... he looks like a royal hostage at a spa hostage situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a hostage,\" Lux muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sira wiped his mouth again. \"You’re a tired demon who needs a cooldown before he crashes a demonic server trying to punch a celestial fake profile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s oddly specific.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux twitched. \"I’m going to dissolve every search history in this building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the door creaked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in walked Rava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heels clicked on the polished floor like lazy war drums. She didn’t even blink at the chaos laid out before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rava just tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well, well,\" she said, voice cool as midnight tides. \"Seems like fun. Can I join you guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lullaby, still snuggled into Lux’s shoulder, lifted her head slightly. \"Yes, please. We are in the middle of feeding him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux deadpanned, \"They’re torturing me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feeding,\" Naomi corrected, sweetly dabbing at his chin with a napkin that smelled faintly of lavender. \"There’s a difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rava smirked. \"Depends on the kink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux groaned. \"Do not analyze me like a wine profile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late. Rava had already turned to the sideboard, grabbed a decanter of dark, unsettlingly carbonated liquid... something that fizzed with slow, suspicious glee and poured a tall glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought it over slowly, hips swaying like she was in a perfume ad made for demons. The drink sloshed gently in her hand, glowing with soft eldritch sparkles like it had questionable legal standing in most infernal markets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held it up just slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an offering. Or a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look parched,\" she purred, offering the glass as if they were at a negotiation table. \"Trade you one sip for one obedient moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already been fed soup against my will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C’mon. Open your mouth,\" she said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux narrowed his eyes. \"Why.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hydration. Obey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sira leaned closer and whispered in his ear, \"I still have the ropes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rava poured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drink hit his tongue with a jolt.\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-06-05T23:57:25.257Z",1,"novelbin.me","492673f625ab152cbdb66a517061986142af3930eed02c997156757910403fbb","harem-startup-the-demon-billionaire-is-on-vacati-chapter-875","harem-startup-the-demon-billionaire-is-on-vacati-chapter-589",878,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fharem-startup-the-demon-billionaire-is-on-vacati-cover.jpg"]
