Sarah's first, painful lesson

"I can see it!" Sarah said in an excited voice.

She then grasped Leon's hands even tighter than before, making him slightly accelerate to flow of magic through their bodies. This only caused the girl's muscles to tense up even more, to the point where Leon could see the whites of her bones showing through the skin of her fingers.

Feeling the pain of his hands getting squeezed pretty damn hard, Leon looked down at them. Yet, rather towards his hands, his eyes were then drawn to the two beautiful peaks that Sarah's clothes only pretended to hide. And to make matters even worse, he could see the pinnacle of said peeks poking into the cloth to the point of threatening to rip it open.

"It's so... beautiful!" the girl sang in elation as if just touching Leon's hands brought upon her a combined force of orgasms that all the girls in the world were going through at that exact moment.

"That's..." Leon muttered, staring down at the girl's protruding nipples. "Well, I hope it is," he then added, averting his eyes as a blush filled his cheeks.

Leon, ultimately, was just a man. As such, having his hands tightly squeezed by the girl who looked as if she just finished the longest round of foreplay in her life while hearing her sing praises about what she could see...

It had its own effect on the bloodmancer and said effect had a lot to do with Leon's inner blood circulating towards certain parts of his body.

"I'm going to slow down and then stop the flow," Leon said out loud, opting to stop the experiment before his excitement would get to his head.

After all, while his bodily desires skyrocketed, it would only become harder and harder for him to stay true to his convictions. And no matter how excited he got, he had no wish of breaking the word he gave the girl when they first met.

Not even if she was the one hoping for it.

"Just a little longer!" Sarah called out, pleading with Leon to keep going. "I want to see more, I want to..."

The girl didn't get the time to finish what else she wanted as Leon decisively put a stop to the flow of his mana, bringing closure to the small test he conducted.

"Why?" Sarah uttered as her body slumped down. She then fell forward, only to shoot her hands on the edge of the bed to support herself from falling down on Leon's lap. Yet, in her instinctive reaction, she failed to notice that her hands laid right to the sides of Leon's hips as if she wanted to trap him in place. And with her head hanging low, right above his crotch...

"Why?!" Sarah raised her head, completely ignoring the situation she was in as she looked at Leon with tears in her eyes. "Why did you stop?" she cried out as if in that short amount of time she got addicted to the feeling of mana coursing through her flesh.

"It's not healthy to rely on someone else's mana," Leon replied, moving his hands to grab Sarah's wrist only to push her entire body back to a more natural position.

"But..." Sarah wanted to argue, only to be cut off by Leon.

"No 'buts'," he sternly said. "You need to learn how to gain your own mana and circulate it through your body."

Sarah wanted to say something, anything that would make Leon change his mind and allow her just one more taste of what she considered the most beautiful thing in the world... But no matter how much she begged, no matter how many tears she shed, or even how suggestive her position was...

Leon remained adamant about his decision.

"Fine!" the girl finally uttered like a child throwing a fit. "Then teach me!"

Sarah changed her approach.

"I will..." she started only to lower her eyes as she thought hard about what her next words should be. And with her eyes already lowered, she finally noticed the two most obvious changes about both her own body but also about Leon's. "I will do everything," she stated, only to reach out, grab Leon's wrists and then push his hands on top of her chest.

Yet, rather than enjoying the sudden softness beneath his palms and fingers, Leon tensed up. And then, a dark expression appeared on his face.

"I never said I won't teach you," he said, only to suddenly bring his fingers down, squeezing Sarah's tits... but not in a way that a lover would. He used all the force he could while keeping it below the threshold that would actually seriously hurt the girl.

"AUCH!" Sarah screamed out in a pained voice, attempting to pull herself back.

And Leon followed her wishes... By leaning himself forward only to allow the center of his mass to move past the breaking point. He then fell over and down at the girl, pushing her down by her tits to the ground.

Leon's movements were so sudden and strong that Sarah couldn't even move her legs, now pinned to the ground with her knees moving up in her body's desperate attempt at keeping them from snapping.

Sarah looked up... but there wasn't any sign of the usual stern but kind Leon above her. Right now, she could only see a man with darkness for his face who kept squeezing her chest so heavily she couldn't decide whether to scream out in pain or simply give up and pain.

And then, as soon as it all started, the moment of horror came to an end.

Leon pushed his knees into the ground, letting go of the girl's boobs as he raised to a half-kneeling position. He then stood up... only to tower above the girl for a second before pulling out his hand and offering it to the girl.

"Sex isn't something to take by force nor it is something to barter with," Leon said, a distant echo of extreme pain flashing through his eyes.

The bloodmancer then closed his eyes, taking a moment to rein the memories he wished to forget back into the abyss at the bottom of his soul.

"As long as you understand this, we might have a conversation," he said before shaking his head a little so that the girl would understand what he meant.

"I..." Sarah stumbled for words. "I'm sorry," she then uttered weakly, accepting Leon's hand and allowing him to help her stand back up. She then freed her hand from Leon's grasp... Only to bring both of them to her chest and start massaging her pained flesh.

For but a second, Sarah attempted to look at Leon only for her eyes to escape to the side right away.

The girl then took a deep breath... before facing Leon properly for two seconds before deeply lowering her head.

"I'm sorry, I really am," she said in a serious tone, resting her hands on her knees as she bent her back nearly in half. "I got too excited..." she added, biting down on her lips as tears appeared in the corners of her eyes again.

"It's fine," Leon cut Sarah's apology short. He then sat down on the bed before turning around and stretching himself out on it. "As long as you remember it, you will be fine," he then added, turning his eyes towards the broken parts of the straw ceiling on the house.

Yet, rather than following his example, the girl simply stood in place, refusing to turn her back straight.

Tap... tap... tap...

Her tears fell to the ground.

*Snort*

Sarah blew her nose, doing her best to hold her tears back.

"I can't tell you much because it would poison your perception and kill your future potential. But there are some things that I can teach you," Leon finally said after finally ridding his mind of the tragic memories he wished to forget.

Sarah rapidly raised her face. Her teary eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Leon in disbelief.

"I told you I will teach you, didn't I?" Leon then said, refusing to even look at the girl at this point. He then heaved a deep sigh.

"What happened just now, was your first lesson," he said, his tone finally calming down as well. "It might sound counterintuitive, but respecting your body goes a long way for a mage."
