I Find It Boring...

Astrid's face flushed when she said those words, thinking of those possible scenarios in her head. 

But there wasn't any rejection or repulsion to the idea, and there was even a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she was willing to do anything with me to suppress her bloodline, even if it was to have a baby with me; which made me remember how much of a charming person I was, since it's been a while since I've gotten an opportunity to talk to a girl because I've been too occupied with spending time with my sister.

"Why is that the first question to come out of your mouth?" I asked as I looked at her weirdly.

"Shouldn't you first ask if everything I said was true, and just in case, ask me to prove to you that I'm not lying?...I mean, I'm not the most trustworthy guy after the prank; I pulled on you, right?"

"That's not really necessary." Astrid shook her head, and said without any hesitation.

"Although I know you're a pervert who loves to do shameless things and has thoughts about taking advantage of me all the time...I believe that you're not the type of person who would go about such a roundabout way of creating a false story just to trick me.

If you really want to trick me, you'd do it in a straight-forward manner and would laugh at me in the face for falling for it in the end with no intention of hiding it, and then apologize like a dog and try to coax me into forgiving you, like what you did today." 

"Isn't that right, Luca?"

Astrid said with a teasing smile as she read my normal behavior like she was reading a book, which made me look away with an embarrassed look on my face, wondering if she sees me as a trustworthy person or a shameless pervert, like she said.

"Yes, that's about right. Good observation." I coughed to clear up the awkwardness of being completely exposed by her.

"So are we really going to have sex?" 

Astrid said, while looking at me with glowing eyes, as if she were eagerly expecting it.

"Why do you keep bringing up sex? And why do you get so excited when you mention it in front of me?...Do you want to have sex with me that bad?" 

I raised an eyebrow, wondering if what I said was actually true.

"As if!" Astrid denied it with a shout.

"I just want to suppress this damn bloodline of mine, and am willing to do whatever it takes to do so...Just thinking of the lonely life I'll live if this goes on makes me shudder in fright." Astrid said, with apparent fear in her eyes. 

She then looked at me and shly said 

"...So I'm willing to do anything to prevent that kind of life, e-even if it means I have to do that with you." 

I really do want to sympathise with what Astrid's going through. 

But why do I feel that instead of her using my bloodline to suppress her's, she's using her bloodline to get into my pants and start her own bloodline with me.

Is it because of the craving she's feeling, or is it because she's just horny and wants a piece of me?

Seeing the clear look in her eyes, I'm leaning towards the latter. But I can't figure what exactly she's thinking, as her emotions are all over the face which makes it hard for me to understand what she's feeling, and 'Resonance' itself only works when she's feeling a very strong emotion, so it's useless now.

"Don't worry. We're not going to have sex...Or at least, we don't need to force ourselves to do the deed to suppress your bloodline." I calmly said.

"We're not going to have sex?!" Astrid asked as she grabbed my shoulders, and shook it with a look of great shock on her face.

"Let me ask you again. Do you really just want to have sex with me?" I pulled away her hands, and stared at her, wondering if she really did have some insidious intentions towards me.

"I said I don't!" Astrid insisted she didn't, even though her behaviour was extremely suspicious.

"I just thought you would help me suppress my bloodline. And I was surprised when you said you wouldn't."

"When did I say that I wouldn't help you?"

"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't do it with me?"

"I said, I didn't have to have sex with you just to suppress your bloodline. I never said I wouldn't help you out."

"But isn't doing it the only way to suppress the bloodline, like you said?"

"I only used sex as an example, since it's the most common way a man would feel that he's dominated a woman and is completely satisfied with her, which comes in line with the second method of suppressing your bloodline."

"The true way to suppress your bloodline is to either knock you up, which is something I can't do for obvious reasons." 

I said, which made her look at me in a daze, as if she were wondering what's wrong with her having my baby. 

And only a second later did she realise what that entailed and nodded her head to my statement, which made me wonder how such a scholarly-looking girl could be such a ditz.

"And the final method that we'll be using is for me to completely dominate your body and mind, to the point that your bloodline thinks that you've truly submitted to me and allows my bloodline to control yours.

The method of doing that is by letting the desires I have when I see you be done on you. And for you to accept it without showing any resistance, which creates a false sense of dominance and submissiveness, which will be enough to trick your bloodline into submitting."

"Do you understand how a bloodline can be suppressed now?" I asked, wondering if she finally got what I was saying.

"Yes. I already know about that. But I still don't understand why we don't have to have sex?" Astrid said with an oblivious look on her face, still insisting we do the deed, which made me rub my head in frustration.

"What?! Why are you looking at me that way?! I'm asking a question that I genuinely don't understand!" Astrid exclaimed when she saw me looking at her like an idiot.

"I mean, did you not just say that the most common way a man would feel that he's dominated a woman is when he sleeps with her...Then why don't you have to sleep with me?"

"Because I'm not like the rest of them." 

I said as I looked at her, finally understanding why she wasn't understanding what I was trying to say.

"If it was anyone else on this planet...Anyone normal. Then a single night with the lady would be enough for him to extinguish all his desires towards her and would make him feel as if he's thoroughly dominated her.

But fortunately or unfortunately for you, I'm not like the rest of the men in this world who can be satisfied with just a round or two of intercourse. My desires can never be satisfied with something as simple as that."

"Why is that?"

"Because I find it boring." I boldly replied, with a frown on my face.
