First Night

It was time.

I stood by my bed, staring intently at the bedsheets with Bradley by my side, his posture as tense as mine.

"We can just sleep for tonight," Bradley suggested.

I would have agreed with him if only I hadn't received a mini-mission from the silly system that I considered a curse.

MINI MISSION - LEAVE A HICKEY ON BRADLEY'S NECK.

REWARD - BRADLEY LOVE POINTS +100

FAILURE - BRADLEY LOVE POINTS -10

I turned to Bradley and placed a hand on his chest before lightly pushing him back causing him to fall onto the bed. I composed myself, trying not to feel shy as I climbed onto the bed and towered over him.

"This is your first night as well. We should do something to make it special." I said, leaning down and planting a kiss against his cheek.

I moved back slightly but not too far since our faces were still close to one another and I searched his eyes, wanting his permission before I could continue.

"I am yours, Lillian."

My heart fluttered over his words and I closed the gap between us, pressing my lips to his. Not really experienced with intimacy, Bradley was the one to take over, placing his hand on the back of my head and guiding me through the kiss.

My lips parted as his tongue danced with mine and my grip on his shirt tightened as the kiss became more heated. I felt one of his hands trail down and stop by my waist, giving it a light squeeze which in turn made me gasp. I broke the kiss as I ran out of breath and leaned back, my chest moving up and down as I tried to catch my breath. Bradley gazed up at my form with half-lidded eyes, lust swirling in them.

I recalled the mission I had to complete and told Bradley to lie down fully so I could gain access to his neck. The red-haired male didn't understand what I wanted to do but his breath hitched as he felt the light kiss I pressed to his neck.

"L-Lillian." He stuttered my name as he called out to me but I didn't respond, continuing to give his neck affection.

His grip on my waist tightened and he let out a cry of pleasure as I sucked on the sweet spot on his neck, his eyes squeezing shut as his body twitched pleasantly. I moved back to admire my work before giving it a kiss that had Bradley sigh.

MISSION SUCCESS

REWARD - BRADLEY LOVE POINTS +100

"I want you to enjoy this night too."

I didn't have time to react and was taken aback as our position switched with me now underneath Bradley.

"Do you want to continue?" He asked, holding my hand and placing a sweet kiss against it.

I nodded, giving my trust to him and he smiled, closing the gap between us again as he brought me into another kiss.

-----------------------------------------------------------

It was the next morning and I was staring at the roof, trying to process the fact that I had lost my virginity.

I glanced at Bradley to see he was peacefully asleep, his face looking beautiful even when he was asleep.

I hope I didn't look like a mess when I was asleep because I can assure you, in my past life, I scared my roommate who had mistaken me for some sort of monster since my mouth was hanging open while my eyes were half-open.

"Lillian?"

Bradley woke up, slowly sitting up while rubbing his eyes and the bedsheet that covered his torso, dropped and revealed his toned chest making me blush as I recalled the earlier night we spent together.

"Hi," I said, not knowing what to say and he turned his gaze onto me, blinking for a moment before he chuckled.

"How are you feeling?" He asked and my lips parted to give my answer but the door knocked, earning my attention.

"Your majesty, a letter from Sir Williams is here."

I don't remember sending William a letter so it was odd for him to suddenly send one to me.

I left the bed to grab my gown which I used to cover my body before I opened the door slightly to see Heather. She handed me the letter and bowed her head as I shut the door, returning to the bed and sitting down.

To My Empress

Father has found out about me revealing the truth to you and plans to execute me in three days. It takes two days for my letter to reach you so it will be one day until my execution. I know I am not someone important but I still must ask for your help, your majesty. Please save me.

From Sir William.

I cursed under my breath, knowing I had little time to prepare for William's rescue.

"When should we leave?" Bradley's question took me off guard and I turned to look at him in surprise.

"You want to join?" I asked and he nodded with a sense of confidence.

"I know how to defend and attack with a sword so you shouldn't need to worry about me getting in your way. Plus, I want you to be happy and if it means helping you save another man then I will do everything to help." He said with maturity.

There was that glint in his eyes that made me see him from another perspective. It was as if I was talking to Bradley but at the same time, I was talking to a completely different Bradley. He was becoming such a mystery that it made me extremely curious as to who he was.

"Okay."

But, Now wasn't the time to figure out Bradley's true identity. I had to focus on saving William before he was executed since his death would result in my death and wasn't ready to die at this particular moment.

"We need to be ready for tonight. That's when we'll attack and rescue."
