The air smelled thick — like sweat, sex, and heat sealed into expensive hotel sheets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pillows thrown everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheets half off the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Rava’s heels was still dangling from the lampshade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a faint suction mark on his chest where one of her more enthusiastic tentacles had apparently claimed him like a flagpole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled, rubbing a hand through his completely destroyed hair. The strands curled messily over his forehead — some parts still damp with sweat and skin-on-skin friction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rava was curled next to him, tangled in the sheets like a beautifully ruined work of art — makeup smudged across her flushed cheeks, lipstick stains still marking her lips, chin, and part of his own throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tentacles lay sprawled around her like exhausted serpents, lazily twitching in her sleep like they were dreaming about the ten rounds they had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing was soft, delicate. The small rise and fall of her chest an oddly peaceful contrast to the absolute chaos that had led to this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux chuckled under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow,\" he muttered softly to himself, voice scratchy. \"That’s... something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system pinged awake — because of course it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, sir. That was something. You just slept with her... ten times. This was her first experience, by the way.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux let his head fall back against the headboard and groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t blame me for it,\" he muttered defensively. \"She was the one who tied me up at one point. That was... kinda hot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Not blaming. Simply documenting.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Also—congratulations.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve gained 5 Levels.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are now Level 260.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system screen floated neatly in the corner of his vision as the familiar stats ticked up like some twisted, unholy stock market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Updated Stats:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 1,320,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[DP: 495,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Charisma: 999]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Magic Affinity: 1,070]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strength: 820]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Agility: 940]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux nearly choked on his own spit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—hold on.\" He blinked at the display. \"I can get levels just by f*cking women now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are, after all, an incubus.

You’re finally playing to your strengths.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux just stared at the screen for a long, dumb second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little insulted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you serious...?

All those stupid orgies finally make sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’re adapting. Congratulations again.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Also, I detect moderate dehydration. Recommend fluids.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah...\" Lux grumbled. \"Good point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat up carefully, making sure not to wake Rava, who only stirred slightly and nuzzled back into the ruined pillow, her tentacles curling possessively in her sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he just stared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Messy makeup. Red lips swollen from hours of kissing. Slight suction marks dotting her neck and chest. Tentacles twitching softly like they were still clinging to him in their dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked... satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blissfully wrecked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange warmth crept into his chest. The dangerous kind. The emotional kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... that was definitely something,\" he muttered again, unable to hide the tiny grin that tugged at the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now? His stomach had other concerns. Like the fact that they had both completely skipped dinner and his metabolism was finally kicking in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed himself off the bed — entirely naked — and padded across the suite on bare feet. The cool marble floor sent a little shiver up his legs as the night air clung to his damp skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes automatically drifted toward the coffee machine on the minibar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old habit. Comfort habit. His internal wiring always defaulted to coffee — that bittersweet liquid of negotiation rooms, boardrooms, demonic treaties, and countless sleepless centuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft sigh escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coffee...\" he muttered longingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he checked the clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2:14 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah. Probably not the smartest choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed the back of his neck, suppressing the laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. Not tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wine it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the wine...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand reached for one of the untouched gift bags still sitting neatly against the wall — unopened luxury shopping trophies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pristine, high-end smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He powered it up, watching the interface load.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dug into another pouch, pulling out a slim SIM card between two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Don’t even want to deal with the paperwork,\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Activating TechnoGreed Protocol.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system’s digital magic whirled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Identity registered.

I have severed the last tie with Carson. It’s official. He’s done. Watch the news tomorrow morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small grin curved across Lux’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly replaced the unkwon number with Naomi’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naomi: Also... don’t forget to rest. And yes—I know you probably already slept with someone. Your pheromones this morning were at the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smart girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly thumbed out his reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux: Just activated this phone. And yes, you were right. She’s here right now. In my suite. Sleeping like a kitten. Can’t wait to see you again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the message for a moment longer before hitting send.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lux poured himself a glass of deep red wine, swirling it lazily as he leaned against the suite’s tall windows — fully naked, fully satisfied, fully aware that his life was spiraling into exactly the kind of chaos he secretly enjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city glittered beneath him. The night stretched endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rava’s soft breath, still tangled in sheets, still marked with his scent and his mark.\u003C\u002Fp>",1086,"2026-06-05T23:57:11.778Z",1,"novelbin.me","804e6bad7b055eca36a787138f66e082a24ab2f562b426632cbe154aee265fac","harem-startup-the-demon-billionaire-is-on-vacati-chapter-78","harem-startup-the-demon-billionaire-is-on-vacati-chapter-76",878,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fharem-startup-the-demon-billionaire-is-on-vacati-cover.jpg"]
