CHAPTER 74: First Conquest (I)

How's the new cover?

***

Anxious eyes darted around the modest yet tastefully furnished bedroom. There, at the room's heart, lay a plush bed adorned with two crisp pillows. Alongside, a modest table hosted a flower pot, lending a touch of life to the room. On the wall hung a clock, its steady tick-tock resonating with her throbbing heart.

She perched on the edge of the bed, her senses prickling as a quiet murmur began to intrude upon the calm. The sound rose gradually, from distant, muffled impacts to the unmistakable patter of footsteps.

The door creaked open. The man for whom she had been waiting stepped in, a towel hanging from his neck, his white hair dripping with water. He had emerged from the bath in just a pair of underwear, while she remained fully clothed, save for the white fedora concealing her horn.

"Still anxious?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," she whispered, her trembling voice betraying her claim. "I ain't anxious."

He leaned against the door, shutting it with a drawn-out creak. As he settled onto the bed, a flicker of desire sparked in his eyes. Two months had passed since he started his new life, since he last engaged in any sexual activity. Two months of living with a sexy woman like Harribel, two agonizing months of sexual frustration to be unleashed on the beautiful tomboy.

{Poor girl is gonna break.}

"Stop staring at me," she said, a nervous flutter tugging at her heart. "What do you want?"

"Playing the ignorant fool, are we?"

"I am not!" she retorted. "We've been with everyone all day… Why are we here alone now?"

It puzzled her that he had sent everyone else home yet brought her here. She had some inkling of his intentions but was apprehensive about acknowledging them.

"Who said we're sleeping?"

She swallowed hard, her thoughts racing. "W-What else are we supposed to do on a bed?"

"You silly little goose," he trailed his whisper as he drew closer and kissed her cheeks. "Remember our promise? I'll let you ride me when you become an Arrancar. Time to fulfill that promise."

Lifting her gaze, her heterochromatic eyes locked onto his blue ones. "Get on all fours then. I'll ride you as my mount!"

"..."

She pushed his chest. "Come on!"

He caught her hand and used his grip to pull her into his embrace. His lips sought hers, and he kissed her slowly, almost tantalizingly. A sudden electric thrill darted up her spine, her heart fluttering from the hormonal surge unleashed by her first kiss.

The engagement of lips set her heart on fire.

He broke away from the kiss, a playful grin adorning his face. "I'll have to educate you about the ride I promised."

She sighed and nestled into his chest. His scent brought her a flood of nostalgic memories. From discovering him in the wastelands of Hueco Mundo to sharing an intimate kiss in this quiet room, they had strayed far from their days as wanderers. Her affection for him had deepened gradually. Perhaps it was because he had dragged her out of a pathetic cycle of survival and mere existence, or perhaps he had given her the confidence and courage to reach new heights. He was the reason she could proudly claim to be near the food chain in the Hollow Kingdom.

He was her first true friend, and possibly, her first mate.

Part of her wished they were still alone, while another part felt grateful for having found endearing companions in Harribel, Mila Rose, Sung-Sun, and even Cirucci.

Feeling nostalgic, she rubbed her face against his chest. "Are we doing it here?"

He was gentle as he let his hands roam over her soft curves, holding her tightly against his own hard body. "Yeah, I'll make you my mate tonight."

She wrapped her arms around him. "Don't give me babies… I want to become a Vasto Lorde before any baby shenanigans."

He expected nothing less from her. Her obsession with achieving Vasto Lorde Class dominated her priorities unless he was involved.

"No worries. I'll be careful."

With her explicit consent, he drew her into his arms, laying her down gently so her head nestled comfortably against the plush pillow. He hovered over her and showered her cheeks and lips with light, teasing kisses—a game of playful seduction for him that left her aching for more.

The teasing was fun for him, but for her, it was torture.

"Jerk!"

Her hands found his shoulders and yanked him closer. Their lips met in a searing kiss. This time, he took the lead in showing her the true experience of kissing. She awkwardly opened her mouth in response to his probing. The innocent deer tried her best to keep up with him in their sloppy exchange of saliva. Her novice exploration grew into a tantalizing dance of passion.

"Change into your Hollow form," she murmured, her voice a hushed whisper, as she draped her arms around his neck. "Do it for me…"

"Sure."

No sooner had the words left his lips than horns sprouted from his head, and a crimson gem appeared on his forehead. Folding his wings, he nestled his face in her neck, his lips grazing her skin with kisses that made her squirm beneath him. His hands roamed around her voluptuous body, pausing to undo buttons of her shirt, each loosened button unveiling more of her seductive tits to his hungry gaze.

"Ah..." she moaned softly, biting her lip as a wave of anticipation washed over her. "Something is happening to me…"

His hands traced the contours of her bra, the fabric tearing away under his eager touch. Her glorious tits sprang free with a jiggle that awakened the beast inside him. He hungrily cupped her mound and pushed them against each other.

"Ahn~, the way you're sucking on my tits is… it's intense and lewd."

"It's just the tip of the iceberg." He buried his face in between her squeezed breasts, tickling her with his nose. The warmth and softness brought out a child-like euphoria in him. "I love boobs~."

She couldn't help but laugh at his innocent act. "I fucking knew you loved big boobs from the way you gawked at Mila Rose and Harribel. It was so obvious."

Her cheeks reddened as she realized the implications of her words spoken in the heat of the moment. She had just given him ammunition to tease her more.

"Oh?" He chuckled, his tongue tracing wet patterns around her nipple. "So, you wanted a sexy body like Mila Rose to seduce me. You're also a perv alright."

Her back arched at his teasing touch, her moan filling the room. "Um… I wanted you to look at me the same way you looked at Mila Rose... Yes, I was jealous of her and Harribel."

Now that they were together, she didn't feel much about being honest about her envious feelings. Rather, she looked at him eagerly as though waiting for him to judge her 'bad side'.

"I made you insecure," he whispered and gave her a soft smile. "I'll try to avoid these situations in the future."

He was inexperienced in handling more than one relationship. Now he had the challenge of balancing his affection among four lovers and keeping them all happy. The responsibility, however, also came with four lovers to care for his physical and mental well-being.

{Four times the baby-making sex!}

He completely filtered out the cheerful voice in his head.
