Chapter 215: Proposal and excuses
Suddenly, Matt awoke with many questions and thoughts in his head. His foggy and confused mind became more clouded after thinking that he had lost consciousness several times in a very short time.
Before he could think about what was happening, something prevented him from doing so.
After waking up, he felt as if he was lying down somewhere, being hugged by someone who seemed to be trying to give him warmth.
That felt strange, but when he opened his eyes, two 'balls' of perfect size and ideal texture met his gaze. Those two balls of 'meat' were big but not as large as the last ones he had seen.
Naturally, only at a glance could he understand what kind of 'perfect balls' they were.
But internally, he had the urge to raise his hand to squeeze them, perhaps because he wanted to wake up and didn't know what kind of strange dream he had fallen into now.
"Hnn..." Once he squeezed them, a slight moan emerged from a mouth with a female voice.
Matt then looked up and looked at a beautiful face before him.
'Alice?' He thought, confused.
She was softly opening her eyes, so her face was cloudy. Still, soon, both eyes met, and the cloudiness was erased from Alice's face.
She stared at him for a moment, and a smile slowly emerged.
"Matt!" Softly and still sleepy in her voice, she called his name and hugged him tightly.
That was an unexpected move by Matt, who unconsciously squeezed his raised hand.
That intense touch sent a lightning-like current through Alice's body, bringing her to her senses. She then lowered her gaze with a slight tremor and looked down to see that Matt was gripping her breast firmly while his mouth was very close to the other of her twin peaks.
Also, further down, Matt's hand seemed to be close to her most private part. That was all a coincidence, but she didn't think so.
She blushed intensely when she realized this and tried to move, but because Matt's arms were around her, her movement caused her to fall backward and pull Matt upwards off of him.
"Ah..." She was stunned to see that Matt was on top of her, their skin touching softly.
Although there was no light in the cave, the trained vampires had no problem seeing in the dark.
So, she could see Matt's muscles, because earlier, she had to remove his clothes as well to give him warmth. And she could feel Matt staring at her, which made her blush even more.
Still, he didn't move.
She averted her gaze to the side as she felt the currents in her body swirl with more determination, asking her for something more.
"...Matt, do you want us to try Dual Charming? Even though it's a forbidden technique, since we have a skill for that... Should we try it?" Her voice emerged softly from her mouth, and although her words embarrassed her, the red on her face didn't reveal what she was feeling right now.
Her body was surrounded by an intense desire for Matt to say yes to her right now, while her mind continually demanded that next step, even though not even the first step had been taken between them.
She didn't even know why she felt that way.
But her words naturally surprised Matt. Still, he smiled softly and shook his head as he stood up.
In a situation like this, he didn't know what to say. Turning down a proposal like that came naturally to him. On Earth, he rejected countless beautiful women, even those who were ranked as the most beautiful in the world; he was used to that. Charlotte occupied his whole heart, after all.
But this time, it was a little different, and it wasn't because Charlotte wasn't here, but because Alice's voice trembled slightly and her eyes looked hesitant, even though deep inside them, there was a desire to do so.
That hesitation told him that she was mustering great courage to say it.
Perhaps she wanted to do it with him. He had noticed for some time that Alice looked at him differently, as did Isla. Those pure but intense gazes with which they look at him tell him that they have intense feelings for him, so if she wants him, it's not for the same reason the women on earth wanted him.
That's why it was a little different this time, and he didn't know what to say.
After all, he didn't consider her a freeloading girl who would make him discard her to avoid a betrayal.
After all, it is precisely that feeling they both have that makes Matt count them as one of his own because they are feelings he once saw in Charlotte, the only person who did not betray him.
Maybe it's a bit immature, but he saw friendships betraying him. People he never thought they would because they had accompanied him between life and death but still betrayed him.
In his mind, that has been redargued, making him think that those who come wanting a friendship with him only seek to take advantage of him. That is precisely why he believes that Alice and Isla will not betray him: because they have the same feelings as Charlotte.
Despite all that, he wasn't ready to do it with her, which meant he didn't know what to say or do to turn her down. More than 30 years with Charlotte were not going to be forgotten overnight. Those 3+ decades of loyalty would not fade away so easily, even if she could be dead right now.
So, he stood up, not finding what to say. Still, his mind quickly traveled through his knowledge to find something to say, for he wouldn't reject her out of hand, knowing that doing so could hurt her feelings.
So, he made up a quick excuse and tried to make it as convincing as possible.
"Alice... This, I'm sorry. I fell unconscious, and I don't understand what's going on." He said, and he put a hand on his head.
"I feel like I was in a strange room just now... Control Path?" To make his excuse more believable, he internally hit the ice on his head, causing it to hurt momentarily, and leaned back against the wall.
"Agh..."
When Alice saw this, she jumped and stood up abruptly. "Matt, what's wrong!?" All thoughts from a moment ago instantly receded out of shock.
After seeing this, Matt smiled in his mind as if trying to apologize. 'Sorry, I guess that's all I can do for now.' He said to himself in his mind.
