Chapter 33: About Time Or Is It?
...........
He made his way to the roof where he was caught off guard by a tight hug from the cat herself, she spoke with a soft tone, "I am glad you're back."
Ian hugged her back, "So am I. This was a welcomed welcome I guess?"
"Why did the job so long?" She asked, getting a bit too comfortable in his embrace.
"It's complicated, but I was basically stuck in a tomb for a few days," Ian responded casually responded as if it wasn't a big deal for him anymore.
"A-are you okay? It didn't go well?" Selina asked with concern before realizing he was before her, healthy and well.
"No, it went well. I got what I want, so I am satisfied with how it went," Ian gently caressed her cheek before adding, "Y...you're acting differently. Did something happen?"
His bluntness and boldness made her quite shy, and Ian could almost see a red hue on the clear part of her face.
"Nothing in particular," She softly answered, basically avoiding the subject, yet the hug has yet to come to an end.
"Also... I'd like you to be my boss." She added.
Ian raised his brow in surprise, "Gladly, I'm into that kind of play."
"What? What does that me...T-that's not what I mean, can your mind be anymore corrupted?" Selina couldn't help but complain though she noticed him barely holding a laugh back and realized he was just messing with her.
"Hahaha, I know what you mean. I guess it's about time you stop losing all your money through some kind of magical means? I honestly still don't understand how you do it, almost like an expert in the field."
Ian let out a small laugh of amusement after that. In return for his offense, he received a few gentle hits to his chest, "I want to say that hurts my feelings, but it is true, but surely you will solve that for me."
Her mischievous self has returned, as she hugged him tighter and whispered in his ears, "I don't have to worry about that anymore, you'll surely take care of me and provide for me, won't you?"
Ian let out a breath, her seductive self is almost too much for him to bear, "You know, you sounded like a housewife right now... Even I have limits, and they're actually quite low, so what do you expect would happen now?"
"I don't know? How about you improvise?" She playfully responded, barely able to hide her shyness. She felt like she was a bit too bold, but she made up her mind and decided to go through with this.
"Hmm, my improvising ability is a bit limited right now, but I will make it quick despite the consequences," Ian muttered seemingly to himself before diving in for a kiss.
Selina seemed to be desperately waiting for that as she instantly entangled herself in an even tighter hug as if she sought to melt in his embrace.
Her arms were already around his neck with one of her hands on his hair, trying to pull him even deeper for the kiss, and a dirty kiss it was as their tongues danced for domination.
Ian's hands were certainly not still. One was holding her waist while the other roamed Selina's body.
The battle for domination only lasted a short while before Selina almost fell weakly in his arms, allowing him to take control, but that he did not.
He stopped and carefully held Selina in his arms. He noticed her eyes glazed, seemingly unfocused, and the displayed part of her face crimson to an almost dangerous degree. It was almost as if she was intoxicated.
"Are you okay?" Ian gently asked with a frown. Her seduction might've been way too effective for him to ignore what could possibly be a dangerous part of his power.
However, looking at her current state, it didn't seem to him as if he sucked her life force.
"I-I'm fine," Selina barely answered while taking a few deep breaths to get her wits back, "It just was... too much."
"Strange isn't it? It seems like it feels nice to you, however, I know that my power might have something to do with this.
I know of some mythical creatures that such people's life force by pleasure or something similar. Do I have something to do with them? That doesn't make much sense to me... But."
Selina shut his wandering thoughts with a simple peek to the lips, "It's okay. We'll figure it out, so don't worry about it."
Ian frowned but nodded nonetheless, 'I will... This world will surely give me the answers I want. However, the last thing I thought would cockblock me was my power, yet here we are.'
"You don't seem to fear death anymore?" He wondered, still surprised by Selina's change of mind.
She hugged him again, burying her face on his chest, "I was never afraid of dying... What frightens me is the people I love dying."
'Did she just? But it's not time for this.' Ian understood the implications of what she said, but instead, he asked, "Who did you lose?"
He held her tighter, feeling her trembling as she murmured, "My sister... I lost her a long time ago."
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. We can talk about it later when you calm down." Ian interrupted her, noticing it was getting into her.
She shook her head against his chest, "No, I want to tell you... I wanted to tell you for a long time. My sister sought her own death, she was like me, a criminal. But she got herself into a dangerous place, all due to her greed.
She didn't want to stop, and I couldn't stop her. She just followed her addiction without any regard for her life until she got shot.
I... It was the doing of a small-time gang, she stole something from, and I failed to protect her no matter how much I tried. I saved her many times, but I couldn't look after her all the time... I failed."
"Your younger sister?"
Selina shook her head, "No, my older sister, but I had to mature before her to take care of her. We had to fend for ourselves since we opened our eyes to the world.
And I can't really blame her. I did things just as dangerous, so how can I expect from her otherwise? I-I just didn't know what to do except for revenge... But it just wasn't enough."
Ian just hugged her tighter and remained silent for a bit. He... didn't really know what to do? He never had to deal with a situation like this, and he was never the emotional type.
He didn't have to say anything as she added, "I used to wish to just live in a farm, peaceful without any surprises. The area would be beautiful, vibrant with nature, but you know how my financial situation was."
"Used to?" Ian questioned, to which she nodded and murmured, "Yes, used to... I like how my life is going right now."
"I am glad then." He decided to be as natural as possible, something he would do, and he just continued to hug her tighter until she calms down.
