CHAPTER 13
I wrapped my arms around his neck and clung to him. He lifted my body again, brushed my cheek lightly, and kissed me once more.
It was true what they said—first time is hard, second time is easy. This cheeky little fawn seemed to have forgotten how he trembled in shock earlier, and now he held me tightly, sucking on my lips.
The fresh, clean scent that had been there before was now mixed with something sweeter, more intoxicating.
Maybe it felt even more intense because my body was suspended in the air.
With no hesitation, he pressed in again, filling me completely. A chill ran down the back of my neck.
Pleasure, given without warning or restraint while I had no control over my body, was so overwhelming it felt almost faint-inducing.
I went limp in his arms, accepting his kiss. It felt like being submerged in warm water—drowsy, dreamlike. Even my mind felt like it was loosening.
“Calion… bed…”
“Bed?”
“To the bed…”
Just kissing had already drained me, and staying like this in his arms made my senses feel strange.
Wanting the stability of solid ground, I urged him. Calion gently rubbed his nose against mine, kissed my lips and chin, and then laid me down on the bed.
The long kiss continued. He supported himself with one arm so he wouldn’t press down on me, keeping only his lips in contact.
I knew it was meant to be considerate, but somehow it still felt frustrating.
I wanted more contact.
I reached for his chest. The firm muscles beneath his shirt twitched under my touch. When I slipped my fingers into his open collar and pulled slightly, the buttons came undone, revealing bare skin.
The sensation of his skin sticking to my palm was shocking.
What the—why does a hunter have such good skin?
Smooth flesh, tight muscle beneath it, and a heartbeat pounding strongly under my hand. Just lightly stroking him made heat rise as if friction itself had sparked fire.
At my involuntary sound of admiration, Calion stopped kissing me and looked at me. His damp eyes now clearly showed emotions I could no longer misunderstand.
The sight of this once-noble man slowly breaking under desire was strangely beautiful—like watching a priceless artwork melt in a furnace. It was both heartbreaking and thrilling.
And the fact that I didn’t dislike it, but was instead excited by it, probably meant my senses were getting strange too.
“Should we… take our clothes off and continue?”
“Clothes… understood.”
Calion quickly removed his shirt. It was already mostly undone, so it came off easily.
Compared to his muscular brother Senes, I had thought Calion was lean—but I was wrong. Beneath his smooth, ivory-like skin lay perfectly balanced, sculpted muscles without a single flaw.
And with the afternoon sunlight reflecting off his slightly sweat-sheened skin, every contour stood out vividly, which was… quite—
“Master. Do you dislike my body?”
“What? No! It’s perfect.”
“But your expression…”
Did I really look that much like a pervert?
I quickly covered my mouth and forced my smile down.
Seeing me hide my face, Calion looked a little uneasy. With a face and body like that, he should be more confident.
“I like it,” I said honestly.
“R-really…?”
“Yeah. That’s why I’ll show you mine too.”
I began undoing the buttons of my shirt.
Calion’s eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly. It was obvious where he was looking, and I almost laughed.
His throat moved as he swallowed hard. I could practically hear it.
His honest reaction was cute, and I was glad he seemed to like my body.
After all, the body is more honest than words.
I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, and he gently returned the touch.
His breathing, slightly quick at first, steadied—or rather, became slower and more focused.
His hands, which looked elegant and flawless at first glance, were actually rough with calluses—hands of someone who wielded a sword.
He touched me slowly, carefully. The warmth of another person felt unfamiliar yet comforting.
Pressing our bodies together felt good, but so did this gentle caressing.
We became absorbed in each other. No words were needed. Everything was clear without looking.
Our breath exchanged through lips now brushed my ear, my cheek, my neck. A soft heat slid across my skin and gathered tightly in my lower abdomen.
His long fingers slid along my side and caught the strap of my underwear. He lifted my hips slightly so he could remove it more easily, and it slipped away.
The bed creaked under us, protesting with every movement, and the sheets rustled. The blanket slid to the floor, but I had no attention left for such trivial things.
I just wanted to feel him completely.
Pure Calion, shy Calion, curious and desire-filled Calion. Even when our eyes met, he blushed and looked away—but still kept looking at me. It was unbearably cute.
Overwhelmed by warmth, I cupped his cheek and kissed his forehead—
And then a system window suddenly appeared with a fanfare.

“…W-what is this?”
I stared blankly at the glowing holographic window.
A charm skill? The one from last night’s acquisition chance?
Didn’t Senes interrupt it and cancel it?
Was it still counting all this time?
As I stared, the window flickered and minimized on its own, as if it had given me enough time to read it.
Then my eyes met Calion’s.
Oops. I had gotten distracted right in front of him.
“Master. What is wrong?”
“Ah—nothing. You just look so amazing, Calion.”
It wasn’t entirely a lie. Even disheveled like this, he was enough to make me lose my breath.
When I praised him, he seemed to regain a bit of confidence and gently brushed my hair.
“Then… is this okay?”
“Of course. More than okay.”
It would be a shame to stop here when the mood was so good. Maybe we could lie down and talk afterwards—
“I’m glad.”
Relieved, Calion smiled, laid me back down, and leaned over me.
Wait. That posture looks wrong. Wasn’t it time to rest?
“You said it was okay to continue, yes?”
“W-wait, you want to go again?”
“Yes. Continue.”
“I’ll make you feel even better, for longer.”
As he said that with a shy smile, he began to look less like a fawn and more like something far more dangerous.
Hey. Give me back my little deer.
Birdsong echoed faintly.
I opened my heavy eyes slightly, then closed them again. My body felt languid, the blanket warm—
No, that wasn’t it.
“Calion!”
Just as I tried to sit up, memories from before fainted into my mind and I groaned, collapsing back onto the bed. My whole body ached.
Realizing I was still wearing underwear, I quickly lifted the blanket in relief—
…No, that was not something to be relieved about.
“Master. You are awake?”
Calion came out of the bathroom holding a basin and towel. Unlike me, who looked completely drained, he looked refreshed and calm, his pure expression exactly as it had always been.
Where did last night’s beast go?
Or rather—why is he still here like this?!
“You look like you’re still tired. Please lie down. I’ll clean your face.”
The one who caused all this gently pushed me back down. His expression was so sincere I couldn’t even get angry.
He carefully wiped my face, then my neck and collarbone with a wet towel. His touch was a little rough, but the cool water felt good.
“Calion… how long did I sleep?”
“It is still morning. I did not wake you, thinking you were exhausted.”
Right. Thanks to the system preventing fatigue accumulation. My HP bar had been reduced to a thin sheet of paper, but apparently 11% was enough to function.
After tidying up the basin and towel, Calion sat down beside me and looked down at me gently.
“Master. How do you feel?”
Now that I thought about it, I did feel strangely refreshed. Even after all that sweating…
My face flushed again at the memory.
“I… think I’m… okay?”
“I’m glad.”
Calion smiled softly and placed a hand on my forehead.
