Harem Startup : The Demon Billionaire is on Vacation-Chapter 600: Use Me

Chapter 600 – Use Me

Rava sighed, set the cloth aside, and picked up the spoon.

"Sit still," she said.

"I literally cannot move."

"Good."

She scooped soup and brought it to his lips.

Lux glared at it for a second.

Then sighed and opened his mouth.

It tasted... good. Rich. Grounding. Mira’s work, no doubt. Herbs that soothed the core. Protein that rebuilt muscle. Mana threads woven carefully through the broth.

Rava fed him slowly.

Between bites, she said quietly, "You scared us."

Lux swallowed.

"I know."

"You don’t get to do that again."

"I—"

"You don’t," she repeated, voice firmer now. "You don’t get to decide alone. Not anymore."

He stared at her, something heavy settling in his chest.

"...Okay," he said finally.

She paused, surprised.

Then smiled faintly.

"Good," she said, and fed him another spoonful.

Lux didn’t complain. Not anymore. Not as the last bite of Mira’s soup slid down his throat, thick and warm and packed with all the boring essentials his body apparently needed to keep not dying. His gaze flicked up toward the floating system charts one last time... and then, with a sigh, he blinked them away.

The projection dimmed. The red lines vanished.

Out of sight.

Not out of mind.

But for now... quiet.

He let his head sink back into the pillow, ropes still tight around his limbs, the pride ink seals thrumming faintly against his skin like a heartbeat that wasn’t his. The mattress beneath him was warm. The sheets clean. His breathing even.

He wasn’t in danger. Not anymore.

And that, somehow, made it worse.

Because the longer he stayed here, unmoving, bound, helpless and babied by the women he loved, the more wrong it all felt.

He knew what Rava had said. What they all had said. He understood it.

But still...

This wasn’t rest.

It was exile.

He exhaled slowly, watching Rava set the empty bowl aside and reach for a clean cloth again, probably ready to wipe his arms or forehead.

"Until when," Lux muttered, voice low, "are you guys gonna tie me up like this?"

Rava didn’t answer immediately. She soaked the cloth again, then gently pressed it to the side of his neck. Her tentacles moved slowly, one folding the tray away, another dabbing residual broth from the edge of his lips.

"Until you fully recover," she said finally. "Your nerves... they’re still damaged."

He let the silence hang for a beat. Then another.

"They’re already recovered," he said. "Mostly."

"But still damaged," she repeated, glancing down at him with a subtle smile. "Which means not fully."

Lux didn’t argue. Not really. He could feel it too, the occasional flicker in his fingertips, the sluggish heat in his core. It wasn’t weakness, not exactly. Just... not himself. Not yet.

But that didn’t make being restrained feel any less humiliating.

He let his head turn just slightly, cheek brushing the pillow.

"I’m bored," he said. "Seriously. I’m going to die by boredom. Not combat. Not betrayal. Not demonic economic warfare. Boredom."

Rava blinked once, calm as ever.

"At least," Lux muttered, "let me have sex."

That got her.

She froze.

The cloth hovered in midair. Her lips parted just a little. Color flushed her cheeks in a slow, crawling wave.

"You’re still sick," she hissed, scandalized. "How can you even think like that?!"

Lux looked her dead in the eye. "Because I’m Greed and Lust. I only think about two things. Money or sex. And since you’re not letting me work..."

He wiggled his eyebrows.

"...at least let me pick the other option."

Rava gawked.

Openly.

"You’re unbelievable," she muttered.

"Correct."

"You’re still tied to a bed."

"That makes it easier. You can do anything you like~"

Her flush deepened. One of her tentacles twitched.

She turned away, gathering the used cloths, probably to stop herself from saying something like me too. Because she did. She wanted it too. No, she missed it.

It had been a week.

A full week of no touching. No sex. No midnight seductions. No slow morning kisses.

A week of watching him sleep. Of tending his wounds. Of not knowing if he’d ever wake up again.

And now he was awake.

Talking. Smirking. Teasing.

Everything she’d wanted back.

And she still couldn’t touch him the way she wanted to.

It was worse than hell.

The worst part?

She wasn’t the only one.

Naomi had snapped a brush in half yesterday while pretending not to stare at the outline of Lux’s hips under the sheets.

Sira had spent three full hours rearranging the ward seals while muttering about "restraint discipline" with a blush hotter than hellfire.

Mira had resorted to bottling more soup just so she wouldn’t jump him. And poor Ely...

Ely, who’d only moved into the mansion three days ago, bright-eyed and determined, arms full of healing crystals and clarity charms and some glowing elven herb she swore would help regulate mana flow, only to discover she wasn’t allowed to even hold his hand.

They were all suffering.

Because Lux existed.

And Lux tied up was somehow even worse.

"I’m just saying," Lux continued, voice honey-smooth, "if the healing thing is gonna take another few days, we could at least... mmph... refocus on stress relief."

"You’re ridiculous."

"You love it."

She turned back slowly, eyes narrowing, only to find him looking at her.

Really looking.

And the moment stretched.

One heartbeat. Two.

She followed his gaze.

Down.

To the tent in his pants.

Still soft.

But not for long.

Her face turned crimson.

Lux’s grin widened. "See?"

"That doesn’t mean—"

"I’m not dying," he said softly. "But if you keep ignoring that, I will."

"Lux."

"I’m literally tied to the bed, Rava. I’m helpless. Look at me." He tilted his head like a sin puppy. "Use me."

Her knees actually wobbled.

"I swear," she whispered, clutching the tray, "you’re worse than a cursed contract."

"But you like cursed contracts," he reminded.

"Lux."

"Rava."

She closed her eyes. Took a long breath.

Then opened one eye, peeked at the ropes.

And back at him. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"You’re lucky we love you," she muttered.

"I am the luck."

"Shut up."

"Nope."

And help them all...

She was actually considering it.
