Seduction of the Occult

Akeno left the secret meeting spot with her heart still pounding. Her legs felt weak and her mind was in a daze. She had never experienced such intense emotions, and the thrill of it still clung to her skin. Even now, despite Ayush not being near her, the thought of him consumed her. She had not yet realized but with the help of the artifact and some clever tricks and manipulations, Ayush had already become like a drug to her. A drug stronger and more intoxicating than anything she had known before.

As she walked back through the empty hallways of Kuoh Academy, her thoughts kept drifting back to him, how he touched her, how his voice sent shivers down her spine, and how he held so much power over her with just a glance. She had always been the one who teased, who played with others' desires, but now the tables had turned. She was the one being played with, and she couldn't bring herself to resist.

Still, there was no denying the conflict that was simmering within her. As much as she had enjoyed herself with Ayush, there was a part of her that felt terrible for betraying Issei. She knew she was the one in the wrong, yet she could not stop herself. She could see the way Issei looked at her, the way he smiled at her and blushed at being teased even the slightest amount and talked to her as if nothing had changed. He had no idea that behind his back, his girlfriend was slowly slipping away.

Next Day

Akeno Himejima groaned as she opened her eyes, the bright sunlight filtering through her curtains like a dagger. It was Friday, and she'd stayed up far later than she had intended to due to feeling anxious about today. She did not know what Ayush wanted from her but she had a feeling that her relationship with Ayush would completely change from today onwards.

As she lay there, her stomach grumbled ominously, reminding her that she'd forgotten to eat breakfast. With a sigh, she rolled out of bed and padded barefoot into the kitchen, frowning when she saw the sorry state of her lunchbox on the countertop. It was a mess—crushed chips, empty chip bags, and streaks of unidentifiable goo that she suspected were leftover from yesterday's sandwich. She'd have to clean it later, but for now, she needed something to eat.

Fortunately, her fridge was still well-stocked from the previous night's grocery store run, and she managed to scrounge together a quick breakfast of cereal and milk. As she ate, she glanced absentmindedly at her phone, mentally preparing herself for the onslaught of notifications that would inevitably arrive from her friends and classmates. She tried to ignore them, focusing instead on the task at hand, but one message in particular caught her eye.

Throughout the day, she tried to keep herself busy, focusing on her responsibilities in the Occult Research Club, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake the thoughts of Ayush. It was as if he had taken root in her mind, and the more she tried to ignore it, the stronger the pull became.

During lunch, Akeno found herself alone in one of the empty classrooms, trying to catch her breath and clear her mind. She sat at one of the desks, her fingers brushing over the surface as she was silent as if contemplating something. But the moment didn't last for long. A soft knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts, and when the door opened, Ayush stepped inside.

Akeno's breath caught in her throat as their eyes met. She could feel the tension between them, the silent understanding that had formed over the past few days.

Ayush closed the door behind him and approached her slowly, his expression was calm but at the same time had an intensity that made her heart race.

"We need to talk," Ayush said softly, his voice smooth and controlled, the artifact helping him with making his every move irresistible for Akeno.

"What's on your mind?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she looked up at him. The guilt was clearly visible in her eyes but even with that she knew she would do whatever the person in front of her asked her to.

"We've been getting along quite well" Ayush replied, his hand reaching out to brush against her arm, his tough sending shivers through her. "But I think it's time we take things a little further."

Akeno swallowed hard, her breath catching in her throat. She had known this was coming. She had felt it building ever since the first time she met him. And yet, hearing him say it sent a wave of anticipation through her body, making her pulse quicken.

"Further?" she repeated, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to steady herself still unsure of herself about what to do.

Ayush nodded, his hand moving to rest on her shoulder, his fingers tracing slow circles on her skin, moving up her arm and around her collarbone, slowly and sensually. "You have trusted me so far," he said softly, his voice filled with confidence. "Now I want you to show me just how far you're willing to go"

"What do you want? Just let me go" Suddenly finding some clarity in herself she resolved herself and started to go out of the room.

Ayush grabbed her hand and roughly pulled herself towards him. Her ass collided with his crouch at this action.

"Just—Let me go" Even as she said this Akeno was grinding her ass against his crouch in the guise of trying to free herself. She a half fallen and half devil, if she really wanted to free herself she could do it in an instant.

"Do you really want me to let you go?" Asked Ayush using the power of the artifact to make his every action feel as pleasurable to Akeno as possible, causing her to moan subconsciously.

"Please" pleaded Akeno

"Okay" Ayush released Akeno surprising her, "But remember I will come after you again and again until I completely make you mine"

Akeno surprised by this sudden declaration now did not know what to do. She knew how close she was to losing control and just fully submitting to him and knew that if he did it again and again then eventually it was she who would end up losing. She did not want to betray Issei.

"Please just tell me what do you want? I will do anything just leave me alone." Said Akeno desperately now not realizing what she just said.

"Oh really," said Ayush amusedly" You will do anything just for me to leave you alone," said Ayush coming closer to her.

"What does your pervert boyfriend even do to you to even have such loyalty. Is he that good in bed"

The talk of Issei seemed to have made Akeno's resolve much deeper, "Don't talk about him like that."

"Okay then we will just talk about you," said Ayush tracing his hand on her face which had a stubborn expression on it. "Why don't we make a bet"

"A bet"

"Yes. A bet " repeated Ayush, "Come to my home tomorrow before school and I will give you a little something to put in your snatch and if you are able to endure the entire day without cumming then I will leave you. But if you don't"

He left the sentence hanging implying what he will do to her.

"I will not do that. I am already deeply regretting what I have done till now and will not do anything like that behind Issei's back" replied Akeno resolutely

"Okay don't do it. It's not like I care and with the way things are going, I am quite confident that in a few days if I just continue what I am doing now I will easily have you. Now you have to decide what you want to do"

Akeno trembled, the precipice of submission looming before her. Had a sudden pang of guilt for betraying Issei not pierced through her haze, she might have crossed a line from which there was no return. Realizing this was her only escape, she finally yielded.

"I will come," she breathed, her voice barely a whisper, "but remember… do not show your face to me after tomorrow."

"That will depend upon your performance," Ayush replied, his voice slightly mischievous.

Akeno, desperate to end this agonizing exchange, turned sharply to leave. But before she could escape, Ayush's hand flashed out, a sharp smack echoing through the room as it connected with the curve of her hip.

"Don't forget to come early," he murmured, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Preparing you for tomorrow can take time." Akeno's back stiffened with a mixture of anger and a deeper, more unsettling emotion as she stalked out of the room.

Alone at last, Ayush retrieved the artifact from his pocket. It remained dark, confirming that Akeno's decisions, her near surrender, had been her own, born from her own desires and vulnerabilities, untouched by the artifact's influence.

"Now," he murmured to himself, a slow smile spreading across his face, "things are becoming truly… intriguing."
