Chapter 232: Leaving Federal City

Once in Jack's room, Daliea sat him up on the bed. She gave him a once over and sighed before turning to leave.

"Wait!" A hand firmly grabbed Daliea's wrist. "Can I have one of those massages? I could use one… Right now…"

The gray-skinned girl chuckled and looked back at Jack. "Sure. Lay on your belly."

"All right!" With a spry eagerness, Jack jumped onto the bed and landed belly first. "I'm ready!"

Daliea stretched her fingers and loosened her joints, readying herself to give Jack the best massage she could. She stood over him and started to work on his upper back, going slow and pushing deeply to knead the stress out of him.

"Oh… Yeah…"

Still somewhat unsure of herself, Daliea's fingers gradually crept down to his lower back. She followed down along the spine in search of knots in the muscles.

"You're good at this…" A sigh of relief fled from Jack's lips.
