Chapter 45: Can I be... greedier?
Dual cultivation.
I've watched enough dramas in my life to understand the meaning behind the world. And even if I didn't, Claire wrapping her sweet, slick fingers around my shaft was enough of a hint for even the most intrepid bloke to get the hint.
And if that still wasn't enough, her actually moving her hand up and down as she slowly, gently massaged my erection was an undeniable fact.
"Are you for real…?"
After all the teasing of today and all the holding back that came in response, having a girl happily glued to my back and gently stroking my dick while throwing curious glances over my shoulder…
"Yeah," Claire admitted without even a hint of resistance.
Then, all of a sudden, her stroking stopped as she fixed her wrap over my neck.
"You see, meeting a potential partner was never going to be a joyride in my life. With all the privileges of my station, there's an equal number of obligations. And offering my hand in marriage to a suitable partner was always going to be a tool for my clan to create an alliance."
Claire heaved a small sigh before leaning back against the bath's edge and pulling me along, making me rest my back against the two soft mounds of her breasts.
"So if it turns out I'm to spend my days with someone that crafty, interesting, and a genius to boot…" Claire tightened her left arm as if to choke me… But no.
She did it just to reach out with her right arm and push against my cheek, causing me to face her as she leaned in over my shoulder.
"You can't blame me for getting a little greedy…"
At this point, it was weird not that we got to it but just how long it took us to get to it.
Still, when Claire's lips pressed against mine, it felt as if the world in its entirety had come to an end.
Claire was a girl… of the level only seen in photos after a whole slew of masters of photo correction got to take their turn improving it.
Her body was perfectly shapely, having just the right amount of meat in just the right places, without breaking the immersion of her slender physique.
When holding her down by her waist, Claire would appear tiny and fragile, only for this picture to break when adoring her wide hips or considerable chest.
But while she had all the curves in the right places, I couldn't find a single place that felt like too much, posing her not even within my striking zone, but the striking zone I've only taken seriously when it came to dreams and late-night fantasies.
A true fairy of the cultivation world with all the qualities of a mature, jade beauty and a considerable hint of modern playfulness and nerdiness to top the mix-up.
And when her plump, warm, and moist lips squished against my mouth when the air that we breathed suddenly became one…
'Damn…'
Powerless to move a single muscle, I allowed myself to fall down the immersing intensity of our kiss.
It was such a simple, ordinary-even thing, to kiss someone. Pretty much most of humans throughout history got to kiss someone. And maybe that's exactly what made this moment so… intimate?
'Am I even doing it right?' I thought, my introverted sense of self panicking in this unrecognized form of social interaction.
But with Claire's skin pressing all over me, I just couldn't care less.
"Haaa…" I took a long breath when Claire finally tore her lips away from mine, heavily catching fresh breath while huffing and puffing while giving me the same, strange look that I've noticed on her face before.
And right as I was about to take another breath…
Claire pressed ahead again, sealing my lips with her own before I could as much as refill my lungs.
Every tiniest move of her lips appeared as a profound revelation of the world's will. Every tiniest manner in which her body squirmed over me as we kissed was a picture full of details all in its own right.
All along, her hand continued to move up and down, patiently searching for just the right amount of pressure, a study Claire conducted by merely sticking to me as closely as she could so that she could read my every reaction to her teasing.
Again, she suddenly pulled her mouth away, as if to tease me with deprivation.
'Is this the edging she was talking about before?' I thought, only for Claire's free hand to move down, grab my wrist… and then move my hand up while interlocking she interlocked our fingers.
"How about we step it up a bit?" Claire asked with a small, somewhat embarrassed grin, only to pull my hand ahead… and place it against her breast, all the while keeping her eyes locked on mine.
"Haah!" Right the moment my fingers sank into her tit, Claire's mouth twisted into a small, happy curve as a sweet moan escaped from between her curved lips.
Her back arched a little only for the girl to suddenly open up her legs and slide her left hand down my chest as well.
"I'm sorry…" Claire suddenly muttered while lowering her head down.
"Hmm?" I muttered, not really caught up with the current iteration of what she was thinking about.
"Can I be more than just a little greedy?" Claire suddenly asked, raising her face just far enough to give me a pleading look with upturned eyes, all the while moving her chest up and down just little enough to make it sway in the water, all for me to see.
"I mean…"
Her hand tightened just a little bit more… before driving further than ever before and sliding over my shaft and all the way to the sensitive top of my dick.
"…sure?"
Claire's eyes flared up with a thousand sparks as she hurriedly slid over my side before climbing up my lap to straddle it yet again.
'Could it be her favorite spot or something?' I thought right as she first pushed her hips as far up my legs as she could, only to then press her abdomen against my stomach, then her stomach, then her ribs and chest, all the way to the point where one couldn't even hope to squeeze a finger between her body and mine.
And with all of that said, she ended up trapping my erection between our stomachs, mixing the pain of the slight strain with the extreme softness and the warmth of her lower abdomen.
"I can tell how hard you are," Claire whispered as she leaned up to my ear, only to retreat a bit, stare into my face for a short moment… and then lean in again, once again pressing her lips against mine.
Once again, I just… flew away, giving in to the relaxation that came with the kiss.
Maybe it wasn't the case for any other kiss in the world, but kissing a rich, jade beauty, a cultivation fairy that was still interested in the mundane side of daily life and creation… It just felt like this was what winning at life was all about.
Claire's hips jerked up, causing her entire body to drag over my skin just an inch higher, only for gravity to then win and push Claire back down onto my lap.
Then, it happened again.
And then, Clarie moved for the third time, being the sole villain behind this treacherous move that clearly aimed to rub one out of me not with her hands, not with her maidenhood but with… her stomach?
"Then, I'm going to take you up on your offer," Claire whispered as she raised her hips just far enough to bring our faces to an equal level, before pressing her forehead against mine and releasing her sweet whisper.
"You see," she continued as her hips climbed higher and higher, all the way to the point where she domineered over me when she finally reached the point where my dick slipped out from between us and fell down over my crotch, springing up to its more natural position.
"Even if we are merely interested in each other now, nothing is stopping us from falling in love with each other as time goes on, right?"
In a sense… Claire was right.
Even if this relationship of ours bore every sign of an arranged, political marriage… Who was there to say those could never work?
And given how our future was all about doing whatever the heck we wanted with close to no worry about anything in the world, what better environment could two young adults ask for to grow as friends with certain benefits only to ultimately take it to a proper next level?
The fact that we were to be bound by the contract first rather than vows of true love and marriage, no one could stop us from getting there later on!
But all of that future… It rode on the single question of whether or not I could deliver the promise Claire's dad apparently saw in me. And for that, the very first step… was to make the most of the moment and try to make this dual cultivation count, right?
"In fact," I smiled at the girl as she looked down at my face with her long, brown hair cascading down as it separated the rest of the world away, allowing us to focus on nothing else but each other.
And so, I grabbed Claire by her shapely hips before tensing up my dick to make it stand at attention, "I think I'm starting to fall in love already," I announced right as my tip started to tease the entrance to Claire's insides.
That act alone was enough to make me realize just how wet and inviting Claire was by now.
'It seems I'm not the only one looking forward to it, huh?' I thought, only for Claire to wrap her hands around my face again as she forced me to look up, right into her eyes.
"Be gentle with me, mkay?" A hint of fear flashed in her eyes as her body, her hips started to gravitate down, as if already working all on their own to impale her all the way down my impressive, personal-best-breaking erection.
"I wouldn't have it otherwise," I replied before starting to slowly and gently push Claire's hips down.
