Friends with benefits?

Later, under the night, Billy stretched his body over a big and comfortable bed. He let out a yawn and gazed upwards…

...That isn't his room…

When he closed his eyes, he could hear the sound of the shower spraying out water in a room beside this one.

Right now he was over Esdeath's bed, and Esdeath was taking a shower. If he tried to escape, he will be caught from either the guards, Esdeath herself or the Great General Budou.

What should he do… Stay here or attempt to escape?

Even if he decided something, some minutes later he felt as if he took the wrong choice…

It was either risking your life or risking your life, that was the type of choice he had…

He gazed at his weapon, Ryujin Jakka, that was left on a corner, and started to chuckle a bit. He just realized that he and Esdeath were the exact opposite.

He uses fire, she uses ice.

He is a man, she is a woman.

He works for justice, she works for the devil.

He uses mostly heavy attacks, she uses mostly rapid attacks.

Maybe there were more things, but those were the ones that currently reached his mind.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Esdeath was enjoying the warm water from the shower. She took a deep sigh and started to think about the informations that Run told her about Billy.

Billy, male, 20 years old.

He comes from Yowa Village, a place that was destroyed from the Empire.

He was also an excellent gambler and knew great magic tricks with cards.

His father trained him since he was young, which caused Billy to have the strength he currently possess.

And then… He already had a girlfriend once.

Knowing that irked her a bit, but then she was glad to know that she is dead now, meaning that she doesn't need to worry about someone else to snatch Billy away from her.

"*Sigh* It doesn't matter anymore, now he is mine."

And then she remembered Bols' suggestions about love…

[The trick to capturing your beloved's heart, hmm… It's about never giving up! I myself was rejected twice by my wife, but it's all about waiting and finding another chance to attack. Please keep in mind that to some extent, it takes time as well…]

After remembering that, a smile reached for her face and turned off the shower, she picked her bathrobe and slightly dried herself up before walking out from the room.

"Sorry to make you wait, Billy."

Billy raised his head from the bed and froze, not literally.

He gazed at the water drops that slided down and reached for her collarbone, and then reached for her almost completely visible breasts.

Billy gulped a mouthful of saliva as his body was getting hot, she was completely different from Sally or other girls he met before, and completely forgot about who the girl in front of him was.

"Do you like what are you seeing, little perv?" Esdeath asked with a smirk, teasing Billy.

Billy's eyebrows twitched upon being called pervert and retorted. "You are the pervert here between us…"

Esdeath chuckled and sat on the bed beside him, then she grasped Billy's collar and approached his ear. "If you want it, I can be one."

Billy's eyes widened, and his hands slowly reached for her shoulders.

...And then a sigh escaped from Billy's mouth, it felt as if he just released all of his stress in that sigh, and calmed down. "No."

"Come again?" Esdeath asked in surprise.

"I don't care much about sex, I could do it with anyone I want, but if you think I'll do it because I love you, then you are wrong. Right now I only lust for you, there is no feelings like love, because I don't love you. Neither now, nor ever." Billy let out his thoughts.

He fucked with Sally because neither of them loved each other, it was just to satisfy their lust, but Esdeath thinks that he "loves" her, not "lusts" after her. It is just wrong in many levels, it's just slightly better than rape.

However, that just made Esdeath smile even more. "I know that you still don't love me, I am not that pretentious to ask you to love me right now. This is why we will take things little by little…"

Esdeath pushed Billy on the bed and hopped over him. "So let's have some fun, you can think of me as a "Friend with benefit" for now, can't you?"

Billy couldn't help but let out a thought. "You have pills, condoms, or something like that?"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow and replied. "I have some pills for pregnancy, why? You don't want any child now?"

Billy chuckled and told her with a frank tone. "You better take the pills or I will throw any child you made me off from a cliff like a deformed Spartan baby."

Esdeath pouted and told him with an annoyed tone. "Alright, no children for now…"

Billy clicked his tongue and told her. "Oh don't pout like that, I am still not loving you." He tried to make her remember about the situation, but they still got naked anyway and fucked on the bed.

'Billy, I'll make you fall for me… First off, I will let you have a taste of me… Then, tomorrow, when we're out hunting Danger Beasts together… That's when I'll show you my ability.' With that plan on her mind, she started the first part of her idea.

'Well, I should enjoy my stay here, right?' Meanwhile, that was in Billy's mind.
