Novel Full Chapter 836 Confession - Strap Up.
From my conversations with Quinn, I thought our post-sex talk right now was just some weird banter but this time, she seemed completely genuine. I was waiting for her answer as I was staring right into her eyes but she went on top of me and gave me the most sensual kiss I received from her.
She wrapped her arms around my neck as we continued to mix our spit together but once she went up for a little bit of air, she was looking at me differently while her face was getting redder and redder.
“For… Forget about it…”
“Haaah? After all that? You’re gonna say—”
“I-I-I mean— Forget about the catch! Because there isn’t!”
“…”
“Just… Just don’t be a stranger when you move back… Give me a call or something or v-visit in a month or t-two… I’ll… I’ll miss you…”
I turned her over and now I was the one on top, “Or~ You could also visit me— better yet, come with Edith when we go back. She’s gonna need a familiar face beside us, you know? I dunno about you but you’ve known her far longer than we did.”
Quinn’s face turned somber, “That’s… I can’t just leave, you know? Besides… it’s gonna be bad if I ever do that…”
“Hmm? What do you mean? I’m not telling you to stay, alright? You know, just chill for a few weeks then come back.”
“I know that but the other thing… D-Do I need to spell it out for you?”
I scratched the side of my cheek, “Umm~ Please do, I’m really oblivious at important moments.”
“…” Quinn was completely silent but she looked like she had this nagging thought to hit me.
“Quinn?”
She took a deep breath before she looked me straight in the eye, “I’m… This is gonna sound so fucking stupid but— I also don’t want to hurt Kaley—”
“Huh? Are you—”
“Wait, let me finish. I don’t mean physically but I don’t want a rift to form between us. You really, really love her, right?”
“Of course,” I answered promptly.
“Of course, you do— she’s amazing, after all. But here’s the thing: at the pace we’re going, it’s… it’s dangerous…”
“Dangerous? What are you talking about—”
“I’M FALLING FOR YOU, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!!! THERE!!! I SAID IT!!! HAPPY NOW?! GOT YOUR LITTLE EGO BOOST?! I—”
Quinn was shouting at the top of her lungs while her face was beet-red but shut her up by planting a huge kiss on her mouth that lasted for several seconds. After that, she didn’t know what to say or think but the moment she was about to jump me and go for another round, she stopped herself when she saw my expression.
“Hey… you okay?”
I sighed deeply, “Of course, who wouldn’t want every woman he meets to throw themselves at him?”
Quinn looked a little puzzled, “You’re not fucking okay, talk. We got all the time in the world.”
“You’re gonna listen, for once?” I said as my eyes were wide from shock.
“You fucking— Why are you looking at me like that?! Just talk! I don’t do this every single day, you know?”
I gave a bitter chuckle as I sat upright, “Well… I have this small, little problem with the dynamics of my relationship with Kaley… You see…” I gave her a small rundown from the beginning then proceeded to tell her when we started to open up our relationship to other women.
Quinn listened to every word I said but she didn’t have the best of inputs I was expecting, “So… You’re just fucking bragging about your success? How is your dick not falling off? It’s more of an achievement, no?”
“I’m leaving—”
“Wait! Wait! What’s the problem you were talking about again? I’ll try to understand your point of view, I promise!”
“I’ll say it just for one more time, alright?”
“Yeah, yeah! I’m not a shrink, you know? I’m gonna understand at my pace.”
“Right, sorry. I thought I wasn’t having a problem but turns out I do have one. You see, this inherited harem of sorts has a ton of fucking advantages especially towards me because I’m the only guy involved but no matter how many times we paint it as an ‘It’s always love for us and simply lust for them’ is kinda—for the lack of a better term, impossible.”
“Go on…”
“I always say that I’d only have eyes or feelings for Kaley—and I think I do, but… it’s pretty hard if I get to know other people: Tatiana, Cynthia, you, and the others on a much, much deeper level. I try to ignore it but like you… feelings develop and it gets dangerous… When do we draw the line, you know?”
“…”
“Tatiana seemed kinda cool with it, Cynthia is kinda blurring the lines, and now… since you kinda confessed to me—”
“It IS a confession but I know my limits.”
“Right! Thank you! That’s the problem, I appreciate everyone involved respecting our—Kaley and I, I mean—our relationship together, and backing off when told to, but sometimes… I can’t help but feel guilty or some other weird feeling I don’t know the word for when I can’t return the feelings they have for me even if I’m… developing feelings for them as well…”
“Hmm…”
“Like I said, I try to ignore it but it doesn’t mean that it’s gone, right? But yeah, I can’t say that it’s the same for everyone we’ve been with but there are a few where I think… you know? Different than a normal fling or something.”
Quinn scratched the back of her head, “Jesus, that’s a lot to think about… Have you two talked about this yet?”
“We do sometimes, and it helps somewhat but it doesn’t disappear like that *snaps fingers*, right? Treat it like an awkward memory that would pop up every time you were about to fall asleep.”
“Ugh, I know the feeling…”𝒪𝓋𝓵𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t
“So, any advice?”
Quinn loudly exhaled with her nose, “Nope!”
“Then what’s the point of this shit?!”
“I already told you! I’m not a fucking shrink! I just listen, I don’t even know what to do about it and I’m fucking involved! Shit happens! Wait, Kaley’s kinda a shrink, right?”
“Psychic would be a better term…”
Quinn shrugged her shoulders, “Then talk again. See where you guys at and figure it out from there. You see, there’s a reason I don’t have sex with the same people all that much in a span of a few days…”
“Oh, so you just fall in love—”
“Fuck you! It’s not like that! Well~ let’s meet halfway but you’re special. That’s why I’m trying to stay away for a bit and sort things out on my own. In the end, you and Kaley are the ones in a serious(?) relationship while I’m the third— I dunno which number of wheel I am but you get the point. What’s working with your other ‘crew members’ might not work for me so I’m gonna figure out things while you guys are away and you two should definitely have the conversation we’re having right now.”
“Huh.”
“Huh?”
“You gave me some good advice, that’s surprising—”
“WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?!”
“It means you are a good fr— Hmm~ How do we call… ‘us’? If you don’t mind me asking… Since you confessed and all, I don’t want to—”
“‘Friend’ still sounds good, for now… Don’t think too deeply about it.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
“Yeah.”
“Uh-huh.”
“…”
“…”
“So… Wanna clean up—”
“If you’ll carry me to the bath— Wah— Not this shit again!”
“Thanks! Wanna let me clean you up as well? Get pampered for once?”
“You’re really making this hard for me…”
“But we still haven’t left? What’s the problem?”
“You know what?” Quinn let out a bright smile as she shook her head, “Let’s make the best of it! Clean me up!”
“Yes, your highness!”
“Naw, that’s too much, dial it back a bit~ Can’t you call me ‘Mommy’ for once?”
“Do you have a kid I don’t know about—”
“NO!”
“Then no, I’ll stick to something else for now.”
Quinn mumbled, “I wish you stick it in again while we’re—”
“Did you just say something?”
“Nope!”
“Huh. I was sure I heard something…”
With that said, we cleaned up—well, mostly just me giving Quinn the best aftercare but once we got dressed, she suddenly donned her mechanical gauntlets and pulled out and assembled her huge-ass halberd/polearm.
I thought there was something wrong about the way she dressed ‘conservatively’ this time around but she looked like she was going out for a fucking crusade.
She was just looking at me with a smile on her face as she pointed at my gear sitting in one corner of her room, “Strap up.”
“It’s almost sunset—”
“I don’t fucking care, strap up.”
I shook my head in confusion, “Where are we going though?”
Quinn let out a chuckle, “We’re gonna piss Mauro off.”
“Huh?”
“We’re cleaning the Pit.”
