"N-Nox," I relented after waiting for him to wake up or at least let go of me. Even deep asleep his grip was so tight. 

"Mhmm?" Hot breath fanned my ear, making butterflies erupt from my stomach.

"Let, let go of m-me," I stuttered, shivering from some unfamiliar sensation. 

"You're feeling what they call Horny, Host," System ever so politely informed me.

"Horny?" I frowned, completely confused about how a horn could be an emotion. 

"Ah," Nox finally released me from his grip. Ignoring System I scrambled out of the bedroom and into the ensuite like my life depended on it.

"Hey, kid, are you alright in there?" Nox eventually knocked at the door when I spent far too long under the cold water. 

"Dirty," I mumbled by accident, then began scrubbing at my skin some more. System had thoroughly explained the horny emotion to me whilst I bathed. 

For some reason, knowing that made my body feel dirty.
