Chapter 421 - Broken Convictions (1/2)
Ryu'er, with her tiny stature, was more dexterous than anything and with her durable physique, she could easily adapt to extreme moves within Nik's technique. The moment she pounced at Nik, instead of hugging Nik's neck, Ryu'er propelled herself slightly by placing her palms on Nik's thighs and then, in the small space, flipped her body so that her legs instantly fell on Nik's shoulder and coiled around his neck. Pulling herself up by the tug of her calves, Ryu'er grasped Nik's collar and stopped her face right in front of Nik. For a moment, Nik didn't know how to respond.
With Ryu'er being an equally disastrous monster as her mother, she was capable of attracting mates by spreading her scent through her crotch. And now, with her legs loosely coiled around his neck, the slight fragrance turned into an overflowing scent that enticed Nik to breathe deeply. With a heave of his chest, Ryu'er's body moved up forcefully but she didn't let go and hissed once more. ”I'll definitely make you forget mom!” Through the gaps of her hair, Nik matched Ryu'er gaze and even if he her tone was forceful and confident, her eyes showed anything but those emotions. It even showed in her body language.
After getting this close for the first time, Ryu'er simply didn't know what she must do. Her grasp was slowly loosening, and her breathing grew faint.
'What should I do? I can't go back after this... will teacher even allow me in training sessions after this?'
Panic gripped Ryu'er's heart as Nik exhaled softly and gently picked Ryu'er up from by her armpits. ”Eeh~?” With a deep flush, Ryu'er tried to struggle but once she was moved away, Nik set her body on the bed and himself shuffled down on the floor. Placing both of his hands on her knees, Nik tilted his head up and got the full view of her gaze from beneath as she looked down in obvious embarrassment. ”Don't be so cruel, now.” Smiling comfortingly, Nik softly stroked Ryu'er's thighs.
”There is no way I want to forget a wonderful woman like Gojira,” whispering, Nik leaned down and gently kissed Ryu'er's exposed left knee. Looking up, Nik locked his gaze with slightly despondent Ryu'er. ”Don't feel rushed, Ryu'er. Don't you already see a pattern?” Nik inquired as Ryu'er finally tilted her gaze and pouted sourly, ”What pattern?”
”Hmm, let's see. Shen Xiu, Lanruo, Asami, Klas... these four and you. What do you have in common?” Nik shifted his seat and sat near Ryu'er. She turned her head to look at Nik and pointed at him, ”Teacher.” Nodding, Nik winked at Ryu'er. Ryu'er's feeling for him was basically an open secret for Nik. Still, a part of him was slightly lazy to change the current, smooth, teacher-student relationship and turn into an amorous one. ”You mean—” An astounding thought appeared within Ryu'er's mind as she gasped mildly. Still, her shock wasn't even fully revealed when Nik warmly placed his palm on her head and softly rubbed his thumb before gliding his palm down her neck. Leaning forward, Nik slowly pecked Ryu'er's lips and retreated once again.
When all this happened, Ryu'er's shock turned into a virtual certainty but all of this was swept by the sudden kiss leaving her in a daze. ”Huh?” She tilted her head up to lock her gaze with Nik as he grinned and slid his palm on top of her head once again, stroking her hair gently. Finally, he brought his hand to her forehead and pulled back the locks of her hair, freeing Ryu'er's crimson pupils surrounded by the sapphire iris.
”Did you just...” muttering, Ryu'er bought her index close to her lips and traced her thin, soft lips while still focusing on Nik's face.
”Hmm?” Nik tilted his head and with a wolfish smile, swooped down for another peck. This time, his lips tightly sealing Ryu'er's as his free hand gently grasped her shoulder.
'Is teacher initiating mating? Is it finally going to happen?'
Ryu'er's heart thumped as her lips parted slightly, allowing the duo to breathe into each other as her widened gaze remained locked with Nik's narrowed one. ”–This– is the pattern,” with a whisper, Nik retracted and wiped Ryu'er's luscious lips with his thumb before breaking the contact and standing up.
”Anyway,” Nik continued, ”forgetting anyone is out of the question. I have heard a few things about you from Gojira, but there is no point in pursuing that topic. If—” Nik turned towards her and smiled ”–you think that there are no corners you are willing to cut and still intend to make me forget others, then make that clear to me later. I am sure, I have the tools needed to tilt that train of thought.”
Nik waved his hand and turned towards the door, unaware of Ryu'er's pupils turning vertical with a predatory glint under her bangs. Before Nik pushed the door open, Ryu'er suddenly tackled him from behind. Well, her intentions were clear, but Nik barely moved as Ryu'er's body slithered around Nik's torso and instantly, she had locked Nik's body with a tight hold while her lips whispered into Nik's ear.
”No way! I'll make you forget everybody. Only I— aaiiiii!”
Ryu'er yelped as her momentum broke and her courage deflated as Nik gripped on her wrists and turned her body. With her legs around his waist, Ryu'er made a round around Nik until her front faced Nik and her back was pushed against the wall. ”Ohh, this isn't what I taught you,” musing in a low voice Nik pushed his waist and plucked Ryu'er's lips with his hands resting on her plump butt.
