Chapter 148: The Frosts Wrath IV
I get up from the bed, walk into the bathroom, and close the door behind . I walk up to the tub, and I see a nozzle. I turn it, and the tub instantly fills with nice hot water. Magic must make it possible to do this. The convenience of magic integrated with society is one of the best things. It really changes people's lives, and when all the little things stack up, it starts to get big. I unequip my armor and give myself a whiff.
I definitely have a bad sll. I dip into the tub, and as I do, it fills with soapy bubbles that are also filled with cleaning magic. It feels good too. It relaxes all the muscles in my body. I roll my neck and shoulders as I soak in the tub, and my joints pop. I hear a knock on the door and a small voice. "Can I co in too, Zern... I'd like to take a bath as well..." I sigh and ignore her, hoping she'll go away. She doesn't, though. She takes my silence as permission.
I turn my head and watch her walk into the slightly steamy room. "Sally... I don't know what your planning, but I'd prefer it if you consider what you are doing. Suppose you have then go and think about it so more." She walks up to the bubbly tub and looks down at . She is wearing a frustrated look, and I can tell she is unhappy with my words. I don't know what is happening, but I don't want to do anything like that after only knowing each other a day.
Many n would call a pansy, gay, or a prude. You have to take into consideration what Sally has been through. She likes , but he also has a lot of shit to unpack, and being with sexually isn't going to help. "I understand what you explained earlier. I want to show you that I don't think that way about you..." She says that last part very slowly and begins to take her clothes off. She is trying to prove sothing that doesn't need to be proved right now.
She isn't ready for this, and both of us know it. The question is, why is she even attempting it. In my thoughts, I forget the current situation, and she sinks into the tub as well. Her legs are on top of mine, and she sighs. I can feel her shaking in fear. "Why are you doing this, Sally? You need way more ti to work through your issues than just a couple of hours. You are already in the tub so I won't kick you out, but this is the limit." She stops shaking and relaxes.
She has an incredible fear of physicality, it seems. Saying that cald her down, took a lot of guts to go this far. So she might recover quicker with a good friend to support her. "I'm sorry for making you worry about my state of mind, Zern. It ans a lot to that you don't treat like a piece of at. I never thought I'd have soone like you in my life, thanks to my past. You don't see as others do. It makes feel weird inside... It makes feel a way I've never felt before..." She is falling hard.
We might have sothing happen in the future, but as of now, there isn't going to be anything. I'm also a little scared of sex, to be honest. As a man I get looked down upon for being a virgin at 20 years old, my sister is an excellent example of soone who makes fun of . I just can't be that venerable with soone. If I'm not in absolute control of everything I can control, it terrifies . Sexual feelings and action are sothing that compromises that.
In a way, it's cowardice not wanting to be that venerable, and in many ways, I agree. "Sally, I want you to know I'm not comfortable with sex either. You need to know that feelings and things related to liking soone scares ." She looks at from across the tub and gives an understanding look. She also tilts her head for to continue knowing there is more. "I don't like the lack of control that cos with things like that. Without that control, I feel absolutely powerless and weak." She understands in her way.
She didn't control what happened to her, and she has lived a life I couldn't survive through. She scoots through the water and cos to my side of the tub. She leans her shoulder on my shoulder and stays quiet for a few seconds. She finds my hand under the water and interlocks her fingers with mine. "Sotis surrendering to such things can help find sothing you didn't know you needed." Wise words from the 103-year-old half-elf.
I don't know how to do that, though. No one likes to feel that way. I look her in her blue-green eyes and see her staring into mine. She starts to lean forward and slowly closes her eyes. Won sure are slick at getting close when you don't expect it. She is trying to both help and help herself with this action. I'm not sure how I should respond. It doesn't sit well with . Doing this doesn't feel right. I turn my head as she watches with half-lidded eyes.
She stops her approach and settles back into her position. She was very open right there, and perhaps not doing anything with that will hurt her more than help. I have to watch out for my feelings and thoughts, too, though. "It hurts that the one I want doesn't want ... I get that you are rejecting because of my issues and yours, but that doesn't make it sting any less." She speaks words from her heart, and I sympathize.
Suddenly, I feel her move fast and grab my head with her hands. She leans all the way in real fast and steals a long kiss from . She shifts her body on top of mine and straddles . She slowly moves her lips and runs her tongue along my teeth. I almost push her off of , but I place my hands on her back and bring her in closer with my hands. I open my mouth, and she swirls her tongue with mine.
Her breasts are squishing against my chest as she does things to my mouth I never experienced before. I close my eyes, surrendering to the pleasant feeling of her technique. I feel her hands slide down my head and glide down my torso. My mber is a large one, and she is heading straight for it. As a tall man with large proportions, it's an easy sign of what's under the hood. I feel her hand touch it, and I snap back to my senses.
I grab her shoulders and push her away. I was a little rough in the separation, but not enough to hurt her. "Geez, Sally... You were going to take it all the way, weren't you..." As my blurry eyesight clears, I see her shaking body and the fearful nature of her posture. She wasn't ready for any of that, and she still tried to do sothing. She is either ssed up more than I thought or likes too much. I stand up from the tub and grab one of the towels. "Take so ti before you co out of the bathroom, get your head straight. I need ti to get mine." She looks away in sha and nods her head.
I exit the bathroom with a towel around my waist, and I sit on the bed. That was the first ti another person ever touched like that. I'll admit it felt great for the brief second it happened. Her hands were super soft, but she and I aren't ready for any of that. I take a deep breath and plop the rest of my body onto the bed. I place my arm over my eyes and sink into the darkness that it provides. Sally is much more complex than I thought she was.
She has an extre fear of n being physical in any way but is willing to push herself for . While I appreciate the gesture, it still isn't healthy. Sally has been through horrors that will affect her for a very long ti, do the sa stuff that causes her psychological trauma is extrely dangerous. I don't put my friends into places like that. I hear the bathroom door open and listen to her soft footsteps reach the bed.
It'd before the best that I sleep on the floor or sothing. After that fiasco, it's not a good idea to share a bed. "I'll sleep on the floor tonight. Next ti we are at an inn, you get the floor." I announce the plan to Sally, and she doesn't respond. I uncover my eyes, and I look over at where she sat. I see that she is wrapped in a towel and has curled up into a ball. Her face is buried in her knees. I take one of the pillows from the top and bring it down to the ground with .
I take one of the blankets too and set everything up. "I'm sorry, Zern... I just thought..." She stops talking and curls up even more. Letting her sort it in her head is a good idea, if I say anything related to what happened it might make her hurt more. So I'm going to try to get so shut eye.
