Chapter 13

The first crash of ecstasy hits me like a storm and I accidentally slap some of the items off my kitchen counter, crashing them to the ground.

When the next one hits, my body melts into a puddle, slipping off the edge. Ryuu gets to his feet, grabs me and carries me into the bedroom, lowering himself over me.

I'm lost in a daze of aftershocks when I let out a cry of surprise when he slips the head of his large cock between my folds. My lips tremble, I'm unsure if we'll fit. He watches my expression carefully, letting his weight down and lifting one of my legs up over his shoulder. The temperature in the room becomes stifling along with the scent of lust.

"That's it. You feel so good around my cock. I'm going to claim you until my name is the only thing falling from your lips. Do you feel how well we fit together?"

I whimper and he kisses me, whispering encouraging words as he pushes his cock into me, inch by tortuous inch. Wrapping my arms around him, I hold on for dear life, trusting him to take care of me as he bottoms out and bites me on my shoulder, confusing my senses and taking me to the brink of insanity.

He begins a hard pace, easily slipping between my legs and my pleasure quickly climbs from the friction we create, my hands careful of the spikes on his arms and back.

Another climax crashes into me suddenly and he growls, slamming himself against me with a fever pitch. The bed creaks, the material threatening to give way when he forces me to ride the wave of pleasure until he buries himself so deeply inside me, I think I can feel him against my ribs. I whine when I feel him grow.

"Shh, I got you. You're doing so good taking me, little fox. You'll love it, I promise," he whispers as his hot release bursts forth, threatening to burn me from the inside out. But as quickly as the temperature rises, it's as if my own body adjusts, easily welcoming him as it leaks between us and onto my sheets.

All rationality flees and I cry. Ryuu croons into my ear, rocking his hips slowly against me, assuaging the many fears that run through my mind. This is all so new, so much.

"You're beautiful when you cry."

I sputter, unsure of how I feel about that.

"One more for me, little fox. I need you to be a good girl, and give me one more…"

I'm about to ask him what he means when he reaches his hand between us and magically starts my body up again without removing himself.

"I-I don't know if I can," I admit, my body weary from all that's happened already.

"Yes, you can. You want to be a good girl for me, don't you?"

I don't know what it is, but Ryuu's words hold the magic key because I nod weakly and nuzzle him.

He groans and licks the bite mark reverently. "Look how well you fit around me, little fox. You're fucking perfect."

I mewl as a smaller but just as intense climax hits me, making me shed more tears.

"You did so well. Shh. I got you."

"Ry—" I choke out, at a loss for words.

How can a male like this dedicate his entire purpose for me? I can't wrap my head around it, can't fathom how someone could care for me so deeply, so completely. And yet, here he is, holding me in his arms after going with me on my mission and annihilating an entire warehouse… all for my benefit.

As I bury my face in his chest, breathing in the scent of him, a sense of peace slowly washes over me. And as I lose myself in his embrace, I realize… I don't have to fight anymore. Why don't I deserve a life of peaceful living despite the evils that exist around us.

I surrender completely and he shifts me in his arms, turning us so I'm in a position of dominance above him. Listening to his steady heart beneath me, I finally relax, allowing myself the bittersweet promise that a strange and unconventional love like this can thrive even in a world where humanity and monstrosity collide.

"Where do we go from here?" I whisper against him.

"Wherever you want, little fox. We can build a world together here. Start over. No one has to know who we are," he answers easily, running his fingers through my hair.

I lift my chin to his chest and look into his eyes. "What about the Nexus?"

"Nova's got a handle on it."

My ears flatten and Ryuu chuckles. "You're adorable when you're jealous."

"I'm not," I grumble, hiding my face.

"Nova has a preference for women and tentacles."

"Oh…"

"And you?" I shyly ask.

He flips me over and kisses me, ignoring the fact that his spikes just shredded my sheets. "I have a preference for only one female," he smiles.

"So this is really it," I say. "You and me, huh?"

"I'm not giving you any other choice, little fox. It's going to be me."

I let out a genuine laugh. As Ryuu's lips meet mine, the world outside my window fades into the background, leaving only the glow of neon lights dancing across the room. In this moment, I feel a surge of hope amidst the darkness of our reality.

In a world where survival is a daily struggle and trust is a rare commodity, we've found something precious in each other.

His words echo in my mind, promising a future where it's just him and me against the world. And as I gaze into his eyes, I know that together, living had true purpose now.

With every kiss, every whispered vow, we reaffirm our commitment to each other and to the dream of a better tomorrow. We found hope with each other. And so, with Ryuu by my side, I dare to believe that our love will light the way through the darkness, leading us to a future I could never dream of.

But if he thinks I'm going to give up hacking, he's got another thing coming. The thrill of outsmarting the system, the rush of adrenaline as I navigate the digital labyrinth—it's a part of who I am and made myself to be. And while he may be my heart's desire, my passion for the code runs deep. So as we embrace in our makeshift haven, I silently vow to keep one foot in the virtual world, ready to hack our way to freedom whenever the need arises.

After all, what's a little mischief between star-crossed lovers?
