So Soft [18+]

A beautiful smile appeared on her face, and her eyes became wet upon hearing his words.

"Then I would love to be your girlfriend." She said this while holding back her tears of happiness.

Eric stared at her for a moment, thinking, 'Just what good things must I have done in my last life for her to love me so much?'

Feeling her emotions and her love for him, he couldn't help but get a little emotional. What did a man want in life? A happy family and a woman who loved him.

Immediately as this thought appeared in his mind, he smiled wryly, 'Seeing how the first mission the system gave me was to have sex with a woman, I doubt I could remain a single woman man.'

Then remembering Elena and Riya, he muttered under his breath, "But it's for the best…"

"Hm? D-Did you say something, Eric?" Elsa's voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Huh, yes." Nodding, he looked into her eyes and placed his hand on top of hers, "I was saying how lucky I am to be the man you love."

Though it wasn't what he said, as long as it made her happy, it was fine.

Elsa's smile became even more vibrant upon hearing his words, but his touch made her squirm. However, she didn't pull her hand away.

"Eric, I—I am sorry. I know I shouldn't be this nervous, but… I can't help it." She apologized, her head lowering in embarrassment. Leah had told him if she kept being so nervous around him, he might become annoyed.

"It's alright. No need to think about it too much." Eric smiled. Then suddenly…

Swoosh!

He grabbed her chair, pulled it closer to him, and then pulled her into his embrace.

"Kya~"

Elsa yelped in surprise and instinctively wanted to pull away, but Eric had already wrapped his hands around her.

Gently caressing her back, he whispered, "Whenever Riya gets scared or doesn't feel well, I do this, and she always calms down. It might help you too. So, don't resist, alright?"

Hearing this, Elsa seized her instinctive reactions and became still in his arms, but her heart was beating violently against her chest, and her face had turned completely red.

However…

She was beyond happy at this moment.

'He… He is hugging me. Ah~ Eric is hugging me.' She cried out in her heart. She had only imagined something like this happening and never thought it could become reality one day.

'I need to calm down. I can't annoy him with my emotional outbursts.' She repeated these words in her mind as she closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

Slowly, she relaxed. Then gathering her courage, she placed her head on his shoulder.

Eric smiled seeing this and slowly moved his left hand up, around her shoulders, and moved his right hand lower, around her slender waist, and tightened his hold.

Elsa squirmed slightly before becoming motionless.

A few moments later, without saying anything, he shifted slightly and put his right hand below her legs and lifted her up.

Gulp!

As he walked toward her room, Elsa gulped nervously but didn't say anything; instead, she just buried her face in his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck while trying to calm her rapidly beating heart down.

This was the first time he entered her room. It was neat and tidy, and there was a faint, female fragrance, which obviously belonged to her.

Against the wall was her bed, only big enough for one person to sleep in comfortably. He remembered helping Liam repair it when one of its legs broke.

Shaking his head, he stopped paying attention to useless things and walked over to the bed. Sitting down on it, he made her sit on his lap and hugged her again, knowing she would panic again. After all, he was moving a little too fast here.

To his surprise, however, although Elsa visibly tensed up, she didn't say anything and kept hugging him, not even looking up at him.

"Um, Elsa…" He softly called out after a while.

"Hmm." Elsa made a soft noise.

Taking a deep breath, despite all the hesitation and his better mind saying he shouldn't say it as it was really just too fast, he said, "I… want to do it."

Si!

Immediately, he felt her body become stiff.

He waited for a while, but she didn't respond, nor did she relax, making him sigh.

"It's alright if you are not ready. No need to force yours—" 

"...Okay."

"Huh?" While speaking, he suddenly stopped. "What did you say?"

He heard Elsa take a sharp breath before she whispered in a mosquito-soft voice, "If you want to… do t-that, I won't refuse."

"You sure?" He asked,

Elsa slowly raised her head from his chest, her face red as he expected and her eyes moist as she looked into his eyes and said slowly but surely, 

"From the moment I agreed to be your girlfriend, I became yours. If you want to do t-that, I won't refuse. If you want me to do anything else, I won't refuse. I will listen to your every word. Just… don't abandon me, please."

"I will not, ever." Eric said with conviction, staring back into her eyes.

Although he had already decided to marry her when he left his house, at this moment, he knew no matter what happened, she would forever be his woman.

As Elsa relaxed hearing him, he leaned down and placed his lips on hers. Immediately, both felt an electric sensation spread in their bodies.

'So soft…' 

He thought and slowly captured her upper lip between his and started kissing before moving to the lower lip a few moments later. 

He tried to savor the sweetness of her lips as best he could and be as gentle and slow as possible so she would also feel good, but after a few moments, he couldn't control his excitement and started furiously kissing, sucking, and gently biting her lips while his hands moved across her back before going lower to her soft buttocks.

"Mm~"
