Chapter 314: We can’t stay together

The warm afternoon light filtered softly through the curtains of the luxury cabin as Lyra and I lay tangled together on the bed. Our bodies were still pressed close, skin slick with sweat from our intense time together. I had just finished inside her, and the afterglow felt heavy and sweet.

"Ahh... that felt good..." Lyra whispered, hugging me tightly. Her arms wrapped around my back as she pulled me even closer. She lifted her head and smooched my lips gently, slow and affectionate.

Her legs stayed wrapped around my waist, keeping me deep inside her, while her soft tits were pressed flat against my chest. I could feel her heartbeat against mine.

"Yeah... truly..." I exhaled, my breath warm against the side of her neck. I kissed her back, taking my time, savoring the moment.

We stayed like that for a while, just breathing together. Lyra let out a long, dreamy sigh and stared at the ceiling.

"Only if we can spend our days and time together like this...it would be so much fun...ahhh..." she said quietly, her voice full of longing as she thought about it deeply.

I lifted my head and gave her a comforting smile.

"That’s impossible, Lyra..." I said gently.

She looked up at me, her eyes searching mine with a hint of sadness.

"Why not, Austin?" she asked softly.

I brushed a strand of hair away from her face and answered straight.

"I am a hero of darkness... Zero," I said. "I have to be somewhere else."

Lyra gave a small, understanding smile, even though it looked a little painful.

"Hehe... it hurts to admit, but I already knew that...that you can’t spend time like this all the time for anyone." she said, nodding slowly.

"Yeah... I can’t help it," I continued. "I was chosen for this purpose only... to fight with the alien force." I gave her a small smile, trying to make it easier for both of us.

"Hmm... I understand..." she replied, smiling back with a soft nod. Her fingers traced lazy patterns on my back.

After a quiet moment, she raised one eyebrow and asked curiously, "Do you fight with people like Alaric all the time?"

I nodded, still resting on top of her.

"Hmm... I have to," I said simply.

Lyra stayed quiet for a few seconds, her legs still loosely wrapped around me. She gently ran her fingers through my hair, her touch soft and caring. ℯℯ𝑙.

"It must be really dangerous..." she whispered.

"It is," I admitted. "But someone has to do it."

She pulled me down for another slow kiss, this one softer and more emotional than the ones before. When she pulled back, her eyes were warm but a little sad.

"I’ll miss you, Austin... or Zero... whoever you are," she said with a small laugh.

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I’ll miss you too, Lyra."

We stayed like that for a long time — bodies still joined, hearts beating close, the gentle rocking of the ship keeping us in our own little world.

The warm afternoon light filled the luxury cabin as Lyra and I lay tangled together on the bed. Our bodies were still pressed close, skin slick with sweat. I was still inside her, enjoying the afterglow of our intense moment.

"You are so strong, Austin..." Lyra said softly. She cupped my cheeks with both hands, holding my face tightly between her palms. "Thank you for your hard work."

"You’re welcome," I replied, my mouth slightly puffed because of how firmly she was squeezing my cheeks. It made my voice come out a little funny.

Lyra smiled, then her expression turned curious. She loosened her grip on my face a bit.

"And what about those seven girls? Who came to help you on the beach? Who are they? Your girlfriends?" she asked, giggling remembering my Shadow Mystics.

I looked at her for a moment before answering honestly.

"Nah, they are called Shadow Mystics," I said. "My seven companions. They called me and gave me this power to protect the world. They exist to serve me."

Lyra’s eyes widened with interest.

"Ohhh, that’s so cool," she said, her voice full of wonder. "They get to see you and fight alongside you every day... I am so jealous..."

She blushed deeply and closed her eyes for a second, like she was imagining it.

"Hehe, it’s risky as fuck," I said, letting out a small giggle.

Lyra opened her eyes again and pouted cutely.

"Better than being bored by a boring ass husband who can’t even fuck properly," she said, her voice carrying a mix of playfulness and real frustration.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"Stop crying and come here now," I said.

I pulled her up gently but firmly, turning her over so she was on all fours on the bed. Her ass faced me, round and inviting.

"Heheh...idiot.." Lyra giggled softly. She reached up and tucked her hair behind her ears, looking back at me over her shoulder with a naughty smile.

"Why are we talking like we are departing right now?" I asked, smirking.

I gave her ass a firm slap, the sound echoing lightly in the cabin. Then I slid my fingers down and started fingering her pussy from behind, sliding two fingers in and out slowly.

"Ow! Right! We should fuck as much as we can." she yelped cutely, but then she flexed her ass even more, pushing back against my hand.

I kept moving my fingers, enjoying how wet she still was.

"We still have a few hours left before evening, right?" I asked, my voice turning sultry as I smirked at her.

Lyra moaned softly and looked back at me again, eyes sparkling with fresh desire.

"Yeah... we do," she breathed, biting her lower lip.

The ship continued its gentle rocking, the distant sound of waves and laughter from the deck floating faintly through the walls. Inside the cabin, the mood had shifted back to heat and playfulness.

I kept fingering her slowly from behind, my other hand resting on her hip, ready for whatever came next in the time we had left.
