Chapter 160: Wha- did you just say?

"Nothing much." Selene's dress fell on the floor, and so did her bra. The one at the bottom stayed on though. 

Her tail swung around and her seamless body kind of made my wood grow: those were very large and probably only second to Leilis's. But I controlled my emotions. My heart raced but I had to stay calm. I couldn't do this, no. 

Breast size wasn't everything: I wholeheartedly consoled myself that way. 

I got up and I was about to leave too. 

She sighed and ripped open the package. It was a black bunny girl suit with distinct holes in certain spots... Why the hell did such a thing even exist? For guys like me?

I didn't know why but I felt like my childhood dreams were being crushed one by one by reality. 

'It just had to have holes.' I really wanted to cry but I couldn't look away. Damn you, dirty subconscious!

"I love you Helio, and I want you. I won't beat around the bush and tell you to take responsibility or be loyal. Just be with me for this one night that is all I ask."

That sounded really nice, but I had a code. "I'm sorry. I cannot betray Marg."

She looked down at the floor. "Is that so?" Her tone was soft and she was sad. 

Selene was someone I wanted to respect, not someone like this. 

"Please understand."

I had a feeling she would. After all-

"Screw that!" Her tone changed and she glared. "I don't care. Who cares about loyalty? The past is history and we don't know whether we'll live till tomorrow or not. So why shouldn't we make most of the present." She took steps forward. 

I took steps back.

I already knew she had more strength than me, so I couldn't just make rash decisions. 

"Let's calm down." I raised my hands a little and tried to calm her down but she wasn't listening. 

My feet touched the side of the bed. There wasn't any place left to backtrack. 

"I am calm. I spend a lot of time wondering about you and I would like you to treat me with respect. I'm a woman, not a tool you can discard after turning on." Did that make sense? Cause it sure didn't to me. "Look even your body agrees!"

"NO- it doesn't-" My wood was raised but now it wasn't. And to confirm I bent my head but a second later I realized, it was a trap. 

In that one second, the girl got close and hugged me, and we both fell on the bed. She didn't try to suffocate me or even cripple me. "As I said, I love you and I don't really need your loyalty." She was on top of me and rested her head on my chest. "I'm fine if you don't choose me. But that's why I want to be with you, at least once." Her voice was back to normal but something about that felt odd. "After all-"

"If you love me than at least respect my-"

"But that's too selfish!" She was still on top of me, but both her hands were acting as pillars as her head floated over mine.  Her voice shook and her eyes shimmered. "That's just selfish." 

"I'm a very selfish person but- I'm glad you love me. And I'm sorry I can't reciprocate your feelings."

The fact that I was loved, really was a blessed feeling. But it also kind of vexed me that I could never return those feelings. 

"At least- give me a kiss." She didn't wait for my confirmation and shoved her tongue down my throat anyway. Even this girl's tongue was stronger than mine. 

Her eyes leaked and she squeezed the hell out of my body. But- this was the end. 

She let me go. "I actually didn't plan on giving up but- as you said, I'll respect your wishes." She got down from the bed and went to the corner. 

I took deep breaths and sat down. This was a nice bed. Perfect for- what the hell was I even thinking! 

She again got out of the costume and picked up her underwear. 

I didn't know why but- yeah, she looked really good. Too bad, I couldn't go back on my word. 

I shook my head. It wasn't good, I was getting very bad thoughts and I had no use of them.

'Deep breaths!'

"I plan on leaving the academy," Selene said- as she put on her bra. Her eyes still shimmered.

"Really? Well, you're a third year. I'm surprised you're still here." Third years were basically supposed to roam around the world after all. Though I guess that was the case in the past, not in the present. 

She smiled a little and tried on her dress. "Would you tie this?"

I guess she wasn't going to answer that. 

"Sure." I stood up, went behind her, and tied the knot. "Are you leaving because of me?" 

Her back was quite smooth and her bones were visible. She'd lost weight?

'Why didn't I notice before?'

"I don't know. I love you and seeing you with someone else, breaks my heart. But if you were to at least have me by your side, maybe just maybe the happiness would have overpowered the pain-" Towards the end, her feelings finally came up and she shed tears, grabbing my chest. "I love you. Please- please let me stay by you."

Even if she said that- I couldn't. 

"I'm sorry. My heart already belongs to someone else and-"

"I'm fine with that. You don't have to love me, as long as you know I love you and-" 

"You speak the same words as that snake." A familiar voice suddenly turned up out of nowhere. Yeah, I had a bad feeling. 

"Who you calling a snake! I'm a dragon!" Another voice manifested in the room as my saber shook a little. 

And now, my very bad feeling finally came true and I died. 

At least, I wished I did. 

I turned around, like a badly oiled machine. "M-Marg- hi."

"Hello Helio." She smiled. "If she wants you that badly, I say let her."

Did my hearing fail or something? Because I was hearing weird shit again.

"You're not mad?"

"Oh don't worry. Even if she spends hundreds of hours trying to seduce you, you're mine and that won't change. Will it?" She teleported to me and held a finger on my chin. "I don't care even if you took in every girl that loves you, even, as long as your mine- I'm fine with it." But her tone sure didn't sound fine. "But the moment you feel something for them and your loyalty wavers-" Her head turned a little and she smiled. "I'll just kill them."

'Wha- did you just say.''

Them? Not me?

I heard, right, right?

I shook my head a little and digested all the words very carefully, and in the end, sighed with relief. 

'Well, that works for me.' 

But that's when I realized. I really was dealing with mom2.0, wasn't I? The upgraded version. After all, even mom wasn't this evil.
