Chapter 20: Exploration 3
"Wh. . y. . ."
.. .
.. .
Ferris was shocked, speechless.
Ryu just spoke!
Ryu, too, was shocked at hearing his voice.
It was rough, guttural, and more like a growl. But it was deep and crisp, and it felt like music in Ferris's ears.
Ferris shook her head to get back into the topic. She released his hand and held Ryu's fingers.
"In this realm, there is a distinct line between men and a woman. What we did. . ." Ferris shook her head. "What I did to you and us being here alone and naked, the people in this realm considered it as indecent.
Though they are also engaging at it in secret. Ferris thought. But Ryu didn't need to know that.
Ryu frowned. He didn't understand why a pleasurable feeling would be considered indecent. Humans are bizarre creatures.
"To them, if you're not married, you can't do those kinds of things," said Ferris.
"Ma. . rri. . age?"
Ferris rolled her eyes. "Marriage is the union between two humans in love. Vowed to be forever in eternity under the grace of his Majesty, yadda, yadda, yadda. Or, if you are a commoner under the grace of a Mayor or higher authority."
Upon hearing this, Ryu's eyes lit up. Cecily appeared inside his head.
"You cannot force someone to do what I just did to you. If you want to experience that kind of pleasure again, just come to me. Am I clear?"
Ryu frowned and tilted his head on the side, suggesting that Ferris contradict herself. If he could only experience that kind of pleasure to someone he would marry, then why was Ferris willing to do it? Does that mean he and Ferris would marry each other?
At the thought, Ryu's brows creased in one line. There was defiance in his eyes and unwillingness on his face. His beast side was angry, but his human side was just. .. meh.
Upon seeing this, Ferris knew what was circling in Ryu's head. "I'm special since I'm your one and only friend that will stick to you no matter what. In life or death. I will not separate from you."
Ryu blinked. He still didn't get it. But seeing Ferris's serious face, he shut his lips tight. There would be no food if he defied her.
"Ryu, what I'm about to show and teach you, burn it into your mind. This is just for teaching only, and in no way that you will do this to anyone but me. M'kay?" To hell with Cecily and the others. Cecily wouldn't agree to be Ryu's mate anyway, so she might as well take Ryu for herself.
Ferris's mood plummeted at the thought of Cecily. Once a beastman found its other half, even in death, he would follow her.
As for the others. .. Ferris smirked, eyes turning to slit, blazing scarlet. They's be dead before they'd laid a hand on him.
Ryu nodded. ".. K. . ."
Ferris laughed. She would teach him the ways to pleasure her. Ryu needed to satisfy his urges, and she needed mana. It was perfect!
Ferris guided Ryu's hand to the plump of her breasts. Upon contact, Ryu's eyes dilated while his pupil turned to slit.
It was soft.
Soo soft.
He never thought that a female's body was this soft and. .. delicate. Well, they were already dead before he had the chance to really feel them.
Ferris's skin was so tender and smooth that it felt like juices would come out when squeezed. This thought fueled Ryu's curiosity. He squeezed Ferris's breast, and she jolted in pain.
Immersed in the sensation, Ryu didn't notice the slight twinge in Ferris's face. He was enveloped with the soft sensation of his fingers melting into her breast. When he released her breast, red finger marks formed on her plump skin.
"Do. . es. .. it hu. . rt?"
Ferris managed to squeeze out a smile. "If you do it like that, it will hurt. Remember, a female's body is delicate and fragile. .. you have to handle it with care." Upon explaining, Ferris guided Ryu's hand towards her other breast. Instructing the right amount of fore and techniques to make it more pleasurable.
Letting go of his hand, Ferris let Ryu explore to his heart's content. From her breast down to her belly and his hand lingered in her tummy.
Ryu's eyes blazed, scorching Ferris in its heat. He might not know it, but she knew that he wanted to mate.
Ferris didn't say anything and let Ryu continue to trail his fingers down to the curls on her pelvis.
"Mm. . ." Ferris bit her lips when Ryu tug the thickness of her hairs before he traced them down to her sex.
Ryu once again lingered on her core while his fingers rubbed for something. Ferris restrained a laugh. She knew what Ryu was looking for. She guided his fingers and cupped her sex.
"Listen to me, Ryu, this big guy here. . ." Ferris lightly held Ryu's cock in her palm as she guided his finger inside her sex, trying hard not to moan as she explained in great difficulty, "It goes inside here. .. and you will. . ."
Ferris gasped when Ryu curled his finger inside her. "Agh. .. and released your seeds inside. .. Mmm. .. Sex as they say. Mating in the beast language."
She opened her eyes and found slit pupils were looking at her intensely. Her body flared, and she fought with everything she had to keep her fangs away from the pulse of his neck. She took an enormous amount of air and shut her inner demons. She let go of his cock before she would snap and do something irreversible.
Ryu savored the slimy sensation inside Ferris. His finger explored and curled every wall until she was panting in inbreathes, face flush, eyes misty.
For some reason, he found this sight pleasant, stirring his erection more.
Slow and deliberate, Ryu withdrew his finger. Sweet juices dripped from her sex and dropped on the floor. Cloaked in thick slimy essence, he was fascinated by how it stuck in his fingers like slimes. His nostrils flared, sniffing the enticing aroma. Couldn't control himself, his tongue slipped out and took a taste.
As I thought. .. It was bitter. .. but sweet with a hint of milk.
Ryu sucked his finger clean. His eyes half opened, glowing in lust as he stared at her.
Ferris gulped. When did he know how to seduce a woman?
Ferris calmed herself and cupped Ryu's cheeks. "Don't ever have sex with someone you're not in love with. 'Kay?"
Ryu tiled his head. Love?
The pleasure, the sensation he felt earlier, the smell, and the pleasant feeling of touching a female made Ryu hesitated. He was unwilling to stop experiencing it.
Reading his thoughts, Ferris could only add, "I'm sure Cecily thought the same. If you love her, you'll only have sex with her." Though that will never happen. I'll make sure it never will.
Upon hearing Cecily's name, Ryu nodded. His lust and all the pleasure he felt dissolved like smoke. Cecily was important than anything else.
Ferris's scarlet eyes dimmed. Cecily was his weakness. It could also mean lots of problems in the future. She swallowed her resentment. There was nothing she could do. Cecily was his mate no matter what she did. That was an irrevocable fact.
She could only stay by Ryu's side and protect him.
It was unnatural. Protecting and caring for someone she didn't even know and just met. But she who lived in this world full of strife and darkness, that even babies and children were tainted with the horror of this world. .. Ryu was like her hope.
A hope that there was something worth living.
Ferris felt like a mother. How old was she again? She forgot. "But of course, I do not expect you to be a saint either. I know that you'll feel pain every time your urge comes. When that happens, you just come to me, and I'll fix it for you!"
Ryu frowned, and Ferris added, "Without having sex, of course. It'll be a mutual relationship!"
Upon hearing it, Ryu's face lit up. He would still feel that pleasure after all without making Cecily angry!
His beast side didn't want to do it, while his human side wanted to experience it again. His golden irises glimmered and rounded. A shy smile just waiting to be popped behind his innocent stoic face.
He was too cute! Ferris chuckled and released Ryu's cheeks. Gradually, she pressed her head against his chest.
I will protect you. She promised.
Rays of daylight slipped from the window high above the ceilings, shining particles of light on the two as the background dimmed.
Ryu stood straight, head bent down as his eyes tried to capture Ferris's hidden smile behind the comfort of his chest.
The sight was surreal, and one would think it is ephemeral as they wouldn't believe that such a heartwarming scene could exist between races.
