“You aren’t planning on running away, are you?”

Nux spoke with a smile on his face.

“W-W-What do you mean?” Melia stuttered.

Nux’s expression, for some reason, she felt like something wasn’t right.

Suddenly, Nux rushed towards her and,

*Bam*

This time, he pushed her to the wall.

Melia made the exact expression she wanted to see on Nux’s face and seeing that expression made it harder for Nux to hold back.

Thank god he was not in his Incubus Form, or he would have done something Melia might not have liked right now.

“You pushed me to the wall like this, brought your face close to mine, your crimson eyes were looking into my eyes, and your beautiful lips were so close to me, in a condition like this, how do you expect me to hold back, hmm?”

“W-What?”

“Melia, I am turned on.” Nux was honest.

“T-Turned on?” Melia was surprised.

“You know, sexually excited, rearing to go, aroused, excited, stimulated,

All in all,

I want to spend some ‘quality’ time with a woman I love.

And this happened because of you.

You aren’t going to leave without taking responsibility, right?”

Nux questioned as he brought his lips close to Melia’s. At the same time, his knee touched Melia’s crotch, sending a jolt of shock and pleasure throughout Melia’s body. Nux’s intentions were as clear as day.

“Y-You said you would give me some time.”

Suddenly, Melia spoke up.

“Hmm?” Nux paused.

“You said you would give me time to think about all this. You cannot go back on your words.”

“That is true. I am a man of my word.”

Nux nodded as he moved his knee away.

Melia sighed a little, but then,

“However,

Aren’t you the one responsible for this?

You can’t just tease a man and expect him to hold back, you know? You are too beautiful to do that.”

“Allura asked me to do it.”

“Well Allura asked me to kiss your lips as I hug you like you are the most precious thing in the world,

Should I do it?”

Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.

“…” Melia turned silent.

Her mind started imagining what Nux just said, her face turned red and she aggressively shook her head to get rid of these thoughts.

She couldn’t believe she was acting like that.

She was a child!

She needed to act like the mature person she was!

However,

Nux words…

They made sense.

“You should take responsibility, Melia.”

“W-What do you want me to do?”

Melia questioned with a determined look on her face.

“Hmmmmm.”

Nux started thinking.

Melia continued to observe his face then suddenly, Nux showed his left cheek.

“Kiss me.”

Nux spoke.

“W-What?”

“Kiss me. That way, I can calm myself down.”

“I-I need to kiss you?”

“Should I do it instead?”

“N-No, I will do it…” Melia nodded.

Then, her lips formed a pout and she moved her head.

However, just as her lips were about to touch Nux’s cheeks, he moved, their lips touched each other’s and when Melia realized what had happened,

“!!!”

Her eyes widened in surprise and she moved away.

“You cheated!”

She complained with an angry look on her face.

Nux, however, just licked his lips,

“That was tasty.”

He chuckled with a seductive smile on his face as he glanced at Melia.

Melia continued to glare at Nux.

“Alright alright, you can punish me when we spar.”

Nux spoke.

“Spar?”

“Did you forget already? Didn’t we decide that the two of us will spend quality time together, every day, alone, without anyone watching us?”

“W-We only talked about sparring with each other.” Melia clarified.

“Of course, that is what I am talking about.

Let’s go spar, shall we?”

Nux spoke as he extended his hand toward Melia.

Melia observed Nux’s hand for a while, then, she held his hand.

Nux smiled, he tightened his grip around Melia’s hand and the two of them walked out of the room.

…

Inside the Training Area,

“Let me turn into an Incubus.”

“You are going to activate your Incubus Form?” Melia questioned.

“Hmm? That is the only way for me to fight you head-on.”

Nux replied, then, his smile widened as he questioned, “What? Are you nervous?”

“Why would I be nervous?” Melia questioned back, acting ignorant.

Nux chuckled, then, his eyes turned purple, horns popped out, his height grew, and a playful smile appeared on his face,

“Are you ready, my sweet Vampire?”

Nux questioned.

Melia could feel a tingly feeling all over her body when she saw Nux’s incubus form again, soon, however, her face turned emotionless as she got serious.

The ring on her finger shined, 5 Buckets filled with Blood appeared right next to her.

The Blood inside the buckets moved and quickly surrounded Melia’s body.

“Blood Armor.”

This was the new ability Melia had come up with.

An Armor that would take care of her weak defense, it was a technique that can theoretically improve her closed-range combat. The idea behind it was simple, it might just look like a normal armor that would protect Melia, however, in truth, since the Armor was made of Blood, it would not only act as regular armor but it could also be used as a form of attack.

This armor would be able to protect her from a Spell and at the same time, if somehow an enemy managed to close the distance between the two of them, the Blood Armor could be turned into Blood Spikes or Blood Scythe in order to get rid of the enemy.

Of course, this technique was still not perfect, rather than 5, Melia wanted to create the armor by densely concentrating 20 buckets of Blood, however, to do that, she needed to increase her control and that was why Nux was here for.

This new technique, he would help Melia master it,

And of course, at the same time, he would use this chance to improve their relationship.

“Are you ready?” Nux questioned.

Melia nodded, however, just as Nux was about to rush toward her,

“Nux, you should come here,” Ember called out.
