Lilith's words hung in the air, like a chilling ultimatum that sent a tremor through Adrian's heart. The playful spark in her eyes dimmed, replaced by something raw and vulnerable, something that made Adrian's chest tighten.

"You have to sign with your seed, to bind me to you, or…" She trailed off, her eyes searching his face to see if he understood her.

Adrian's heart skipped a beat as he grappled with what she meant.

He swallowed hard, trying to find his voice amidst the dread knotting his chest. "Or what?" he asked, his voice barely more than a whisper.

Lilith's gaze dropped to the space between them, her hand coming up to rest against his chest as she whispered, "Or we both die."

Adrian's breath caught in his throat, the gravity of her words hitting him like a ton of bricks.

His mind raced as he processed what she said. The magnitude of their situation was becoming clearer with every passing second, though he hadn't fully grasped it until now.

"Die?" he repeated, his voice filled with disbelief. "Why?"

Lilith sighed, her fingers tracing slow, almost absent-minded patterns on his chest as she tried to explain. "The contract… it's more than just a binding agreement, Adrian. It's a bond, a tether that keeps me anchored to this world. Without it, my energy drains until there's nothing left of me. I… I fade away."

Her voice trembled slightly, and Adrian saw a flicker of fear in her eyes—a fear that chilled him to the bone. It was the fear of losing everything, of disappearing into the void, and it shook him to his core.

"And if you fade away," he said slowly, piecing it together, "then I'm bound to that fate too."

Lilith nodded, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears as she met his gaze. "Yes. We became connected the moment we returned your soul to this world. And without the contract to solidify the connection, we're both at risk."

Adrian's mind raced, each thought colliding with the next as he tried to absorb this new information. The weight of their bond, the implications of it, were staggering. How could something so vital have been kept from him?

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" he asked, his voice strained with frustration. "Why wait until now?"

Lilith's lips curled into a small, mischievous smirk, the faintest glimmer of her usual self returning. "Because, my dear Adrian, it didn't feel necessary at the time," she replied, her tone light, almost teasing. "Besides, where's the fun in revealing all the secrets at once?"

Adrian blinked at her in disbelief, the absurdity of her reasoning almost laughable if it weren't for the dire stakes involved. Even now, at such a critical moment, she couldn't resist her playful nature.

But beneath that playfulness, he could see the fear, the vulnerability that she rarely allowed to surface. It softened his frustration, replacing it with something more tender, more protective.

He reached out, brushing his fingers lightly against her cheek. "Okay… let's sign the contract."

A slow, sensual smile spread across Lilith's lips as Adrian finally accepted what had to be done. "I knew you'd come around," she purred, her voice laced with satisfaction, though her eyes still held that vulnerable edge.

"But next time, let's try for a little more transparency, okay?"

Lilith's eyes sparkled with a mixture of relief and amusement, and she leaned into his touch.

"I suppose I can make an exception for you," she said, her voice dropping to a sultry whisper. "After all, you're about to plug into me," she winked. "We're about to become very… connected."

"Lilith…" Adrian's voice trailed off.

Lilith's smirk widened, and she slowly pushed herself up in a deliberate and sensual manner. She didn't break eye contact as she crawled toward him, the firelight casting shadows across her skin as she moved with a predator's grace.

Her hands slid up his chest, her touch sending a shiver down his spine as she straddled him, her thighs pressing against his hips.

Adrian's breath caught in his throat as she settled on top of him, her presence overwhelming, intoxicating.

He could feel the heat of her body, the soft press of her curves — boobs and ass — against him, and it took everything in him not to pull her closer, not to give in to the raw desire that was building between them.

"I've been looking forward to this since day one," Lilith purred, her voice dripping with seductive promise as she leaned down, her lips hovering just above his. "You have no idea how much."

Adrian's pulse quickened, his hands moving to rest on her hips, his fingers digging into her soft flesh. He could feel the tension coiled within her, the way she trembled with anticipation.

"Oh really?" he murmured, his voice rough with desire as he tilted his head up to brush his lips against hers. "Then show me, Lilith. Show me how much you've been waiting for this."

Lilith's eyes darkened with lust, and she didn't need any further invitation. She closed the distance between them, capturing his lips in a searing kiss that left no room for hesitation.

Adrian enjoyed the soft feeling of her lips on his own as they kissed each other.

The kiss was electric, full of passion and need, as if they were both trying to communicate all the things they couldn't say with words. Adrian's hands roamed over her body, feeling the softness of her skin, the curves of her breasts and hips.

The scent of her, the feel of her against him, was intoxicating, and he found himself getting lost in the sensation, in the connection between them.

Lilith broke the kiss after a few seconds and started placing kisses along his jawline, trailing down his neck.

Her hot breath against his skin made his cock twitch.

He felt the gentle scrape of her teeth against his throat, the faint pressure as she nipped at him, sending a surge of heat through him.

She pulled back, a wicked gleam in her eyes as she grinned at him.

"Is that how much you've been waiting for this?" Adrian asked with raised eyebrows, not breaking eye contact with her.

"Not at all, Adrian. Not even close," Lilith teased, leaning forward until her face was only inches from his.
