Only then did she head toward Nix’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His door wasn’t shut—just slightly ajar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curiosity flickered in her chest. What exactly had he done to redecorate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and gently pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the room had already been fully arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix, however, was in the walk-in closet, trying on outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were new—things he had bought over the past two days. There were all kinds of styles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one would Rory like the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heap of rejected clothes lay piled on a nearby rack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight was their first time bonding. He had to make sure she was happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she found him lacking? What if she grew dissatisfied with him later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied himself in the mirror. He was wearing a modified flight suit that framed his figure and showed off his tail perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps it revealed too little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel had advised him to show more—but not everything. It had to be suggestive. Subtle. The kind of look that hinted rather than exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So engrossed in his dilemma, he didn’t notice Rory entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory stood in the newly decorated room, utterly stunned. Her little kitten had truly outdone himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bed. The sheer canopy drapes. The oversized full-length mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And over there—those additional accessories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the color scheme, it was almost identical to Xarion’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it clicked—Xarion’s room had also been decorated by Nix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected this at all. Her supposedly innocent little kitten... had hidden depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion’s room had been done in deep purples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix’s was soft lavender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the faint rustling coming from the closet, Rory sat down on the edge of the bed, stroking her chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve guessed her sweet, straightforward Nix liked this kind of aesthetic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did he even learn this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rose quietly and padded over to the closet entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the slight gap in the door, she peeked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Rory saw what Nix was wearing, her eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought the butler outfit he wore last time was already pushing the limit. She hadn’t expected her little kitten to break through that limit entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This outfit was nearly on par with some of Yuel’s more questionable sleepwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory sighed.Don’t tell me he learned all of this from Yuel...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Nix chose the outfit he felt most satisfied with. Just as he turned around, he met Rory’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped in surprise and instinctively covered his chest—then immediately realized he had dressed like this specifically for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was there to hide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory—when did you come in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his hand, eyes shining as he looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already noticed her, Rory pushed the door open fully and stepped into the closet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept over the rack of clothing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single one could be called \"proper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, she reached into a nearby drawer, pulled out a tie, and looped it around his neck. Then she tugged him toward the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix blinked at the sudden addition of the tie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Rory planning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she going to tie him up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, he absolutely wouldn’t resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He obediently followed her to the bed—only to be pushed down onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory leaned over him, fingers gripping his chin lightly, like a queen holding power over life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me,\" she said calmly, \"who taught you to decorate the room like this? And who taught you to dress like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her touch was gentle—so gentle that instead of pain, it only made him feel faintly ticklish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted slightly, looking guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... if I tell you, you won’t be mad, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from building mechas, he truly didn’t know much about anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded. \"I promise. I won’t be angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was Yuel. I asked him for advice. I... I’m only good at making mechas. I don’t really understand this kind of thing, so I could only consult him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course it was Yuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory smiled faintly. \"And Xarion’s room—was that Yuel’s idea too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix nodded quickly. \"Yes. Xarion said he wanted a room you’d like, so I asked Yuel for help. After all, in this house, Yuel is the best at making you happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Rank-ten beast core had funded two rooms that Rory would love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Totally worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rooms I’d like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel was absolutely slandering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am perfectly pure, thank you very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory ground her teeth silently. Tomorrow, she was going to have a serious conversation with Yuel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her fall suddenly quiet, Nix’s tail cautiously curled around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... will you kiss me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He liked it when she looked at him like this—confident, commanding. It made his heart pound wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory looked at his slightly flushed, handsome face. Slowly, she slipped the tie from around his neck and wound it around his wrists instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned down and kissed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her lips touched his, Nix’s breathing hitched. His mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the kiss was light—barely a brush, like a feather drifting across his skin. But in the next heartbeat, it deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers slid along his wrists, tightening the tie just enough to hold him in place. The smooth fabric grazed his skin, sending a subtle tremor through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low sound escaped his throat as he instinctively tried to move—only for Rory’s other hand to press him firmly back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tail had already wound itself tightly around her waist without conscious thought. The soft fur brushed against her clothes with a faint rustling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ears burned hot. His breathing turned uneven as his forehead pressed lightly against hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory...\" His voice was rough, strained. The tip of his tail curled tighter. \"Don’t tease me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips trailed slowly down along his jaw, brushing his throat. The faint scrape of her teeth made him shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then ask properly,\" she murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing completely unraveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips lingered at his throat, teeth grazing lightly over the sensitive pulse beneath his skin—teasing, unhurried, like a hunter savoring her advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest rose and fell sharply. The tie around his wrists left a faint flush on his skin where he had shifted against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet he had no desire to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, he wanted her to hold him tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please...\" he whispered hoarsely, his tail now fully wrapped around her waist, the soft tip slipping beneath the hem of her clothing to brush lightly against her lower back. \"...Rory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender fingers drifted lazily across his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the night deepened, the intensity gradually softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their breathing slowed, tangled and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix lay sprawled against the rumpled sheets, the tie around his wrists loosened now, hanging there like the lingering trace of a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers absently toyed with the strip of fabric, a faint smile tugging at his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t known that surrendering control could feel this intoxicating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory lay on her side beside him, idly twirling the tip of his tail around her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you smiling about?\" she asked, nudging his leg lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nix rolled over and leaned in, burying his face in the crook of her neck. He inhaled deeply, unable to resist rubbing his nose against her skin like a beast marking his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Not telling you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","a6cf0d91162ee95c070228d4dba5f44d7bc47f93fe4247280646fcbbaabca5b1","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-185","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-183",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
