Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 876: You’re Staying Together!

Although Orion had booked a single room this time, he had no intention of doing anything to Aveline-she was far too young.

What he didn't expect was the usually aloof Aveline grabbing his hand and placing it on her chest. His originally fair and handsome face instantly turned bright red, the blush spreading quickly to his ears. Orion's entire face was flushed.

"Aveline... you..." The usually eloquent Orion found himself at a loss for words.

"Tell me, is it because you don't like my figure? You prefer someone like Celestia with a bigger chest, don't you?" Aveline asked seriously, her tone accusatory.

Orion felt both amused and exasperated. "What nonsense are you thinking about? You're only twelve, and she's seventeen. You're still developing, so there's no need to rush. No matter how you look, I'll like you just the same."

"Hmph, you're just saying that. Have you ever done something bad?"

Aveline looked at him with deep suspicion, as if wondering if he had fooled around with someone behind her back.

"My sweet little Aveline, I swear to heaven and earth, don't you truly feel how I treat you? Do I need to take my heart out and show it to you for you to believe me?"

Orion placed her hand over his chest so she could feel the strong rhythm of his heartbeat.

"I... I believe you," she finally said.

"Aveline, I really haven't done anything with Celestia. I've never even gone on a private date with any girl before. I promise I'll patiently wait for you to grow up."

Seeing the sincerity in his expression, Aveline's heart raced, and a joy she couldn't contain blossomed within her.

"Orion," she called out seriously.

"Yes?"

"I think I might be starting to like you-not like a sister liking her brother, but like how Mommy likes Daddy."
