Step 8 - Seducing Morgana Even Further

A faint scent of lavender woke me up. It was a scent that I could recognize even with my eyes closed; it was Morgana's. Over the past two weeks, I had gotten used to her scent, but for some reason, it smelled even better today.

I pursed my eyes open as I immediately understood why.

A beautiful woman with long, purple hair was sleeping on my chest, her warm body pressing against mine.

'Seems like she was worried about me…' I thought with a smirk as I moved my hand forward and passed my fingers through her soft and fluffy hair. I carefully caressed her face as I noticed her eyes fluttering.

I immediately pulled back my hand out of fear.

Her pearly eyes locked with mine as she opened them, accompanied by a soft smile.

"You're finally awake. I was so worried… you need to be careful when fighting others, especially Sariah. She's very powerful, and she has trouble managing her strength."

Morgana slowly raised her head from my chest with a tinge of redness on her cheeks.

"I-It's not my fault. She's the one who insisted on having a sparring match; I only listened to her words."

Morgana smiled softly as she continued to caress my hair. I had to admit that the feeling of her touch was honestly addictive. She was so soft and caring with every move. I don't think I had ever received this type of attention, even in my past life.

Honestly, I could hardly understand how Zale's character had evolved into a villain. This life of his was honestly perfect— a caring master who would protect him through anything.

"It's fine; just be more careful next time," she said as she lightly flicked my forehead.

I winced and formed a slight frown. "What was that for?"

She smiled. "For not telling me that you were unawakened. What were you thinking? Training with the sword without even awakening your class? That's the first thing you should have told me about!"

She scolded me, but even then, she sounded sweet, which was nice. It was clear that her affection for me had grown a lot. But even then, it still hadn't reached the four-star threshold where I would finally be able to try this SSS-Rank skill of mine.

"I'm sorry… I should have told you. But I thought that the period to awaken had already passed this year."

Morgana shook her head. "I have connections. I'll make you awaken in the best conditions possible, okay?"

[Intimate Presence I has begun to take effect from the closeness and duration of this moment.]

[Morgana's Obedience has increased: 60 -> 63.]

I smirked.

"You know, you're really pretty with your hair down like this," I suddenly muttered, surprising Morgana as she immediately blushed and glanced away.

"S-Stop flattering me; you don't even think it…"

I grabbed her chin and slightly turned her face toward me, and there was no resistance. "I do. You're really pretty."

Morgana just blushed as she stood up. "A-Are you thirsty?"

I weakly nodded.

"I'll go and get you some water."

I watched her walk away in her light clothing. She was only wearing a nice, short dress that highlighted her curves perfectly, especially her backside as she walked away.

[Morgana Vera's POV]

'I can feel my body rising in temperature.'

I gulped.

'The tension between me and Zale keeps building. He continues to compliment me even as I tell him to stop. He's trying to seduce me; it's obvious, and it's working…'

I walked toward the water distributor as I simply couldn't get that moment out of my mind.

A few nights ago, I saw him peeking at my naked body. I've seen him do it a few other times, and I haven't warned him about it because… I-I think I like it deep down within me. I-I have this strange feeling that excites me. Having a young, well-built man lust after me gives me this feeling of being desired, which I hadn't felt in a long time… ever since my husband died two years ago alongside my son.

'Should I tell him to stop?' I thought with hesitation. However, I ended up shaking my head. I liked this tension, and I wanted to see just how far it would go between the two of us.

I grabbed the water cup in my hand as I walked back toward the infirmary, where I saw him lying in bed with a smile on his face.

"Can you drink it on your own?"

"I-I don't think so… my arms are too sore. I can barely move them."

I knew it was a lie, yet I didn't say anything once again as I sat by the edge of the bed. I could feel my butt slightly brushing against his chest. But we both didn't say anything.

"O-Open wide," I muttered as he slightly opened his mouth. "Here…"

Without even realizing it, I leaned forward toward him, our bodies and faces only inches apart.

I could feel his breath brush against my face.

It was intoxicating. I needed to move away, but it was as if I didn't want to.

But then, out of nowhere, I saw Zale's face move forward toward mine, and I immediately pulled back, flustered.

"I-I…" I didn't know what to say. I stood up and took a few steps away from him. "W-We can't…"

He didn't say anything. He just looked at me and my body with clear lust.

I shut my mouth and began to walk away but then I stopped in my tracks as I heard his sweet voice enter my mind.

"Can you spend the night with me here?" he muttered with a weak smile. "I just want some company."

I knew the underlying meaning of what he said. But it was as if something within me was pushing me to accept.

"A-Alright, but we can't do anything together, you understand, right? I'm your master, and you're my servant."

"Of course, my beautiful master," he replied, teasing me once more.

I gulped loudly and took my seat beside him as he continued to look me in the eyes with those annoyingly pretty eyes of his.
