Chapter 348 Another small talk under the sky
The sounds of heavy panting filled the air, mingling with the soft rush of the wind and the scent of the surrounding nature. The aftermath of our intense encounter lay before us, a tableau of tangled limbs and disheveled hair that spoke of the fervor that had consumed us.
A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, offering a moment of cool respite against our heated bodies. The scent of the outdoors mixed with the lingering traces of our desires, creating an intoxicating aroma that hung in the air.
I regarded the scene before me with a mixture of satisfaction and amusement. "This is certainly an incredible scene," I thought, my gaze fixed on Aliya, whose appearance bore the marks of our passion.
"Are you satisfied now?" I inquired, my voice carrying a trace of playfulness as I brushed her disheveled hair aside to meet her bright green eyes.
"…." Her response was silence, but it was to be expected. She was lost in the aftermath, her senses still reeling from the intensity of our connection.
She was clearly in Nirvana right now, and I was proud of it.
It was a moment of vulnerability and bliss, her slightly parted lips and unfocused gaze revealing the depth of her experience. As I looked upon her in this state, a fleeting thought of the complexities of our future crossed my mind.
\'I really wonder how I will be able to manage these two,\' I reflected inwardly, acknowledging the intense emotions that both Aliya and Diana harbored for me.
The desires they exhibited were fervent and obsessive, and the path ahead was undoubtedly intricate.
The irony was the fact that I could also relate to both of them. Be it Aliya\'s desire or Diana\'s, I knew all those feelings.
After all, I am also a possessive and obsessive person. If I see Aliya with another boy going on a holiday, there is no way that person can stay in this world.
They will leave for good.
And this is the biggest hypocrisy from my side; it is an absolutely scummy act…
The fact that subjecting her to such feeling itself is the scummiest….
"But, it is what it is," I mused silently, accepting the intricacies of human emotions and connections.
In the end, I can not cut Diana like that either…
\'Then, I can only give you what you desire…\' I silently exclaimed, looking at the girl beneath me whose eyes closed.
To be frank, the spell I had used was recorded in Xenon\'s book.
<Hemalinking: Ancient Blood Bond.>
In the book, it was recorded as a ritual for one of the ancient communities that Xenon himself destroyed. People would mix their blood and chant, which would connect them in a subordinate relationship. It was actually a hive type of magic.
However, Xenon played with the chant mana consumption, experimenting on them, and in the end, he made magic for couples with different strengths.
The reason why Aliya was able to leave all those marks on my body was this magic, since when I activate it, it gives her the power to damage me, thanks to the blood seal.
Though the pain was nothing but a small squinting one, so I didn\'t feel particularly bad.
"What are you thinking about so deeply…." Aliya\'s voice broke through my thoughts, and I shifted my attention to her. Her voice was a gentle awakening, pulling me back to the present moment.
"You are awake," I replied softly, my fingers trailing through her hair as if to confirm her presence.
"Umm….Y-yeah…" Her response was tinged with embarrassment, a faint blush gracing her cheeks and sweat glistening on her forehead. I couldn\'t help but smile at her reaction, a testament to the impact of our encounter.
"I guess I did my job well?" I quipped a hint of pride in my tone.
"Y-You did." Her affirmation was accompanied by a shy nod, and it was endearing to witness her bashfulness.
"You did well, too. How many times did you come? Six? Seven? At some point, I…" I trailed off playfully, enjoying the way she covered her eyes with her arms, refusing to meet my gaze. "I lost the count…
~."
Her vulnerability was a reminder of the depth of our connection.
"….." Despite her silence, her body language spoke volumes. Her slight hesitance and the pink tint on her cheeks only added to her allure. "Don\'t tease me anymore…."
"Don\'t tease you?" I echoed, a playful glint in my eyes.
Nodding, she seemed to be seeking some reprieve from my banter. "After all those marks you have left on me, do you think I have this right?"
"Y-you did whatever you wanted with me…. a-already," she stammered, her voice softening in a mixture of embarrassment and desire.
"Whatever I wanted? You know this little guy is still roaring to go, right?" I teased, a knowing smile on my lips.
"….Please have mercy on me…."
"Heh…If that is what you wish." With a playful wink, I acknowledged her plea, leaving room for the dynamics of our connection to unfold as they would.
SWOOSH I summoned the magic of [Clean] with my skill [Silent Mage] activated, and the surroundings and our clothes were restored to their normal state.
I sat on the grass, and on my lap was Aliya\'s head.
Even though I teased her for going a lot more, right now, this was enough.
\'Of course, I can go, but I am not some sort of beast….\'
I thought, brushing her hair. We were at it for the whole day. Of course, it was slightly a pity to miss the third day of the clubs, but it didn\'t matter.
Aliya had been working quite hard for the last month and last week, so I was not regretting my actions.
"Hmm….."
"Aliya, you do know it will be hard to spend like this once I enter the student council, right?" I asked, looking at her.
Even though staying in the present was not bad, she also needed to prepare herself for what was to come.
Another session of grind was on the way, and this will maybe be the hardest one.
She met my gaze with a mixture of understanding and determination. Even though the prospect of change was looming, her response reflected a willingness to adapt. "I know."
"You\'ll be busy with your responsibilities, and I\'ll be busy with my training and work," she continued, her voice steady as she acknowledged the demands of the future.
I nodded in agreement, my fingers gently tracing patterns on her arm. "Indeed. It won\'t be easy, but I believe in your ability to manage it all."
A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "I\'ll do whatever I can to make things easier for you. Whether it\'s managing the company, giving you funds, managing your connections…." She replied, her hand slowly moving to a dangerous place. "Relieving you….."
"It doesn\'t seem like you relieved me, though. Weren\'t you the only one relieved?"
"D-don\'t lie. You also came a lot."
"I did. But you and I are different. I can do this all day."
"Tch…."
Amused by her response, I leaned in slightly, my lips grazing her ear. "I advise you not to engage in a losing battle…"
Her retort was swift, her voice husky with desire. "I\'m perfectly content if the one I lose to is you."
I couldn\'t help but chuckle softly at her feisty comeback. "You\'re getting quite skilled with your words."
She smirked playfully. "I have a good teacher."
"Ah, he must be a remarkable individual—handsome, intelligent, strong, and cunning," I teased, my gaze holding hers.
"And narcissistic," she added, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"And narcissistic," I agreed with a mock-serious nod.
"You really know him well," she remarked her tone light and sarcastic as well.
"He who doesn\'t know himself knows none," I quoted a touch of pride in my voice.
"Whose words are those?"
"Mine."
"…..Pffttt…" Her pause was followed by a quiet chuckle, the sound of a soothing melody that underscored the intimacy of the moment.
DING
As we continued our playful banter, suddenly, I felt a notification coming from the bracelet of mine.
"I guess we need to end it for today."
