Roan then looked at Calina's face as he solemnly said.
"I won't let that happen."
Calina, whose heart was almost bursting out of her chest, then asked while Roan still held her in his arms.
"Why? Isn't what I said in line with how you think about things? What kind of thing is virginity if you can use it to complete your objective? Those are your words, not mine."
Roan narrowed his eyes in response. He couldn't refute it since that was indeed what he said. Eventually, he let Calina go before sitting back down on the Energy Gathering Formation. Nevertheless, it was obvious that he had a lot going on in his mind right now. One couldn't blame him, though. This kind of situation was a first for Roan.
"You're right. What am I saying here? I have no right to stop you."
Calina was taken aback when all of a sudden, she burst out in laugher.
"Hahaha! That's the first time I've seen you look so... human."
She then ignored the embarrassment she was feeling before deciding to sit on Roan's lap, laying her back against his chest. This time, however, Roan didn't have the same annoying expression as always.
"Say, do you want me to do what I said or not? That's all I want to know. Forget about logic. Forget about your usual self. I just want a very simple answer."
Roan shook his head, succinctly replying.
"No."
Calina smiled, satisfied.
"Good boy. Now, the last question."
Roan couldn't happen but ask.
"Didn't you just say that this was all you wanted to know?"
Calina playfully smiled in response, replying.
"I lied. It's impressive that you didn't notice it straight away."
Calina then turned her head to the right as she gazed at Roan's face through the corner of her eyes.
"Do you like me?"
Roan was taken aback by the question. However, there was a good thing about being him. His last action made it very obvious in his mind how he felt regarding this girl. Since it was obvious, he wouldn't beat around the bush anymore and just say things straight.
"Yes."
Calina's face turned as red as a tomato before looking away.
"I see..."
To hear that come from Roan himself, how happy could she be right now? Then again, Calina knew her limits, quickly getting up before saying.
"That's good, then! I'm heading back to my room to change my clothes. As cute as they might be, they were made with female Zasfins in mind. The proportions are bothering me a bit."
Of course, that was just an excuse to escape since she couldn't look at Roan's face anymore. She still needed some time to calm down. Unfortunately...
'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!'
Dark vines soon wrapped around Calina's waist before pulling her back. Of course, with Roan's control over his Dark Element, she didn't feel any pain or anything like that. She once again fell into his embrace as he looked at her with a serious expression.
"Do you think I could let you go after all of this? Hmph! Naive!"
Calina was taken aback. She wanted to say something, but Roan's lips on top of hers made that impossible. One must remember that this was a scene from a few hours ago, and Calina only came out of Roan's room once Rean's group had returned from the auction house. While that was happening, the auction was just about to start selling their items.
Roan then used the Soul Gem Dimension Realm to remove her clothes in a flash of silver light, much to her surprise. He never cared about the clothes anyway. He only cared about the girl. Calina's naked body appeared in front of him once again. The first time he had seen it in its entirety was during the river event, but that was over ten years ago. At that time, Calina was young to the point her chests had barely developed. But now, they were in full bloom.
A myriad of emotions currently filled the couple. Calina was afraid, happy, embarrassed; every emotion was passing through her mind at this instant. Nevertheless, she lost to his assault almost instantly. Any thoughts of fleeing disappeared from her mind not long after. First of all, the beast she had awoken wouldn't let her go even if she wanted to.
Then again, Calina was the one at fault here. One must remember to never poke a sleeping dragon. Roan felt like something had been unchained inside his body as his actions turned even more passionate as time passed.
Sister Orb, who was watching everything unfold in silence, decided to give the new couple a helping hand.
[Don't say your Sister Orb isn't looking after you.]
A special invisible barrier then appeared around them, blocking any sound from getting out.
Well, Roan couldn't care less about the sounds anymore. His clothes also disappeared not long after Calina's. This time, Calina saw a different reaction from the one back in the river. Roan's dragon was as awake as it could be, craving for the warmth of her den. She felt afraid for a moment before feeling happy once more. After multiple failures, she had finally made this ice block interested in her body.
"Come. I've been waiting for you."
With those words, Roan's last ounce of sanity had instantly disappeared as the beast in his body took full control as his mighty dragon entered her cavern. Blood flowed as the two had finally become one. There was pain, though there was also happiness. Calina knew that she would one day lose her virginity, and the man on top of her right now was exactly the person she hoped for to take it away.
What happened after that was just natural. Man and woman connected as one in ecstasy and delight as moans and pants filled with pleasure filled the room. Of course, Calina's moans only existed inside their space since Sister Orb stopped it from going out.
And just like that, the two let go of all their worries and made sure to let the moment consume them entirely. Calina's pain gradually disappeared, quickly being replaced by immense pleasure. Roan's feelings were also overflowing like never before.
It wasn't before a few hours that the two had eventually collapsed in exhaustion. Roan was at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm. Fortunately, Calina was in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. That being said, one could already guess just how aggressive he was to make both of them tired to that extent. Just how many times did they climax? Calina had already lost count by the end.
Surprisingly, just as they finished, Rean sent Roan a message through their Soul Connection. Well, one could already guess what it was. Rean was basically asking Roan if he should buy the Magma Flower or not. Roan, trying to hide his exhaustion, answered straight away with a yes, responding that he could use it for his pills.
In the end, Calina lied with her chest lying again Roan's as she muttered.
"Perhaps we went a bit too far."
Roan then took a deep breath, feeling just as confused as Calina as he said.
"Just what happened to me? This is not how I usually act at all."
Calina laughed a little before saying.
"And you're the one to ask. You were the one who pulled me back when I tried to leave, you know?"
