What I Am To You? (18+)

After leaving the Spirit Beast Forest and entering a small town in the Kingdom of Arayama, Mateo looked around curiously by the side of Landon and asked, "Where are we headed now?"

Landon lips curled up slightly as he replied, "How about becoming mercenaries?"

Mercenaries, huh? It should be quite interesting. Mateo reminisced about the thrill he experienced while hunting as an assassin, his eyes narrowing with a bloodthirsty gleam.

It's been said that there are only two reactions to killing repeatedly: numbness or exhilaration. Mateo fell into the latter category. When it came to taking lives, he harbored no guilt whatsoever; he even saw it as a thrilling game of wits and strength.

However, he hadn't anticipated the possibility of things going awry and falling into a trap. While he didn't have any deep brotherly feelings for Landon, there was still a sense of camaraderie from their shared training during their youth. Little did he know that he had been reborn, and his right hand was perfectly fine. Now he could truly relish the joy of battle.

Landon caught hold of Mateo's tail and whispered, "What are you getting so excited about? Your tail fur is even standing on end. Stay calm."

Mateo snapped out of his reverie and suppressed his bloodthirsty desires, saying, "It's nothing, let's go."

Landon smirked playfully, "Before that, let's head to the Swordsman Guild for a test. Otherwise, you won't be able to register as a mercenary. By the way, even though we can't use Vitality Force, during the test, if you surround your sword with wind elemental energy, you can pass off as an advanced swordsman and fool most people."

Three black lines appeared on Mateo's forehead as he thought about how dim-witted the humans here must be.

However, he didn't realize that using elemental energy in this manner was a remarkably difficult feat for humans. At the very least, it would require the prowess of an Archmage to even come close, and no Archmage would be so idle as to mimic Vitality Force with elemental energy. Furthermore, they wouldn't even consider the possibility of beastmen actually capable of assuming human forms.

The testing process was quite straightforward. He handed a gold coin, serving as the testing fee, to the middle-aged man within the guild. After briefly displaying his "Vitality Force," he successfully passed the test.

Mateo obtained a badge proving his status as an advanced swordsman, while Landon used water elemental energy to mimic the role of a swordsman.

"Registering as a mercenary cost one gold coin, applying to a mercenary group costs five gold coins, and mission inquiries can be found on the adjacent bulletin board," the female staff member of the Mercenary Guild said languidly as she accepted the gold coins and registration details.

Upon noticing that one of them was a swordsman, she lifted her head and discovered with pleasant surprise two handsome beastmen.

Instantly switching from her previous indifference to a different, warm demeanor, she affectionately inquired, "Is there anything else I can assist you with?"

"There's nothing else." Landon ignored the seductive glances from the female staff. She had no choice but to hand over the emblem of proof to Landon mercenaries, gazing at them reluctantly as they departed.

"Aren't you going to take on the mission?" Mateo asked.

"Well... you've been busy all day, don't you want to rest?" Landon looked at the excited Mateo with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh... that's true," Mateo chuckled awkwardly.

The two wolves went to a nearby inn and booked an upper room—just one room. The town was close to the Spirit Beast Forest, and many mercenaries often passed by to rest, so finding a room was already quite good.

The environment and facilities in the upper room were nice, but unfortunately, there was only a single bed, although quite spacious.

Upon entering the room, Mateo headed straight to the bathroom. He soaked in the wooden tub that automatically filled with water, intending to sort out the troubles that had been swirling in his mind for the past few months: What was Landon to him?

Having arrived in an unfamiliar world, Landon's appearance in front of him could be somewhat explained by a fledgling attachment. However, it felt out of place when applied to himself. He had already tasted the ups and downs of human life during his childhood, and as a young boy, he turned to assassination to earn a living. His heart had long been cold and hardened, almost impervious to anything that could melt it.

Could it be that someone like Landon, whom he had only known for a few months, could enter his heart due to a fledgling attachment?

Nonsense!

But what was the real reason behind it?

He didn't understand.

Amidst the confusion, the bathroom door swung open, and Landon walked in naked. The source of his troubles stood bare before him, and due to his flustered state, Mateo stammered out, "You... you... why did you come in?!"

"Taking a bath," Landon replied, squeezing into the bathtub. Mateo hurriedly stood up, but Landon pulled him back and he ended up falling onto Landon's chest.

Mateo awkwardly propped himself up, accidentally sitting on Landon's lower body. Their closeness caused Landon's gaze to darken. Originally, he had only intended to tease Mateo a bit, but since Mateo had offered himself up so willingly (?), he decided not to hold back.

Landon lowered Mateo's head and pressed their lips together. His unusually long tongue sensually explored every corner of Mateo's mouth, enticing their tongues to entwine. His other hand wasn't idle either, trailing down Mateo back to his hips, engaging in a lustful kneading.

Mateo was initially stunned and took a while before he remembered to resist. He pushed Landon away forcefully. However, at that moment, the hand that had been lingering near his hips inserted a finger into his entrance. The dry passage was forcefully breached, causing a tearing pain to spread through his sensitive area and freezing Mateo's body in place.

"Get... get out..." Mateo gritted his teeth and glared at Landon beneath him.

Landon remained silent, using a small water ball to lubricate the passage, allowing his fingers to move smoothly. He added a second finger, alternating between thrusting and using the water ball.

Excess water stirred up and flowed out, dripping from Mateo's entrance onto Landon's lower body.

The cool droplets mixed with the intense heat on his aroused member didn't dampen its fervor; in fact, it heightened Landon's excitement.

"Ah... ha... ha... you... bastard... mmm..." Mateo's initially resistant hand unconsciously gripped Landon's shoulder due to the pleasure.

Despite Mateo's experiences from his previous life, his current body had only tasted sexual intimacy once, making him quite inexperienced.

He couldn't withstand Landon's teasing!

Mateo's head was already lifted, and with a smile, Landon began to fondle Mateo's arousal. The dual stimulation left Mateo lost in pleasure, casting aside any thoughts of resistance.

Sensing his impending climax, Mateo started moving his hips, intensifying the friction at the front and deepening the entry from behind. Just as he was about to reach his peak, Landon's fingers withdrew and his scorching length forcefully entered.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Being penetrated by the massive arousal was undeniably painful, yet it brought about an unusual sensation.

The emitted fluids landed on Landon's abdomen, chest, and even... his face. However, Landon casually wiped off the white substance without any concern, licked his fingers, and softly whispered to Mateo, "Taste your own flavor."

With those words, Landon's skilled tongue entered Mateo's mouth.

Mateo widened his eyes, experiencing the bitter tang within the other's mouth. Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, Landon began to move, creating an intense "papapa" sound where they were connected. Mateo's sealed mouth could only emit muffled moans. The penis sandwiched between them, the friction caused by their collisions, caused Mateo, who had just climaxed, to become erect once again.

"Ah... ha... ah ah... mmm..."

Landon kneaded Mateo's thighs and pressed down, forcefully moving his hips, seemingly intent on penetrating deeper and filling Mateo completely.

"Ah, ah!" Mateo's reaction became more intense as Landon inadvertently hit a certain spot. Landon chuckled, "Your sensitive spot is here." With that, he increased the pace of his thrusts.

"This... ah, ah! Lan... don... ah ha... take it... slower... ah!"

The words that were supposed to be spoken in a harsh tone came out as breathy moans, almost like a playful whimper. Truly adorable, a smile played on Landon's lips as his lower body rhythm intensified.

"Ah, ah! Ha... ha... mmm!" Before long, Mateo felt a surge of warmth between them, undoubtedly his own release, while Landon also climaxed after Mateo's peak.

Two wolves were immersed in the aftermath of the climax. Landon was the first to come to his senses. He withdrew his penis and cleaned up for himself and Mateo before returning to the bed.

After turning off the magical devices used for illumination, Mateo lay beside Landon and asked in a hoarse voice, "Landon, I really don't understand you. What am I to you, really?"

Landon was taken aback and took a moment before responding, "I... am not sure..."

Mateo didn't say anything further. It seemed like he had fallen asleep, but in his heart, he also said in a daze, "I'm not sure either, what are you to me?"

The two of them didn't converse anymore, and the night passed dreamlessly.
