76 She is interesting

"What are you doing? Where are we going?"

"Let's talk with Kuro, privately. The only way to stop whatever insecurities you have, is to talk about it"

"What? NO!!" Iiana hit his shoulder but was blocked by some kind of ice shield. She gritted her teeth, feeling the biting cold and pain that met her skin afterward.

"Trust me"

"Why would I trust a man that only use his dick to think? Why do you even act like a sex addict nymphs?"

Arya chuckled, finally seeing her cute side. She was trying was definitely scared, if her trembling body was any indication, and yet she's trying to push out her bravado and change the subject, acting tough.

Well, well well... he should at least entertain and play with her for a while then, shouldn't he? But that doesn't mean that he'll stop his steps and forget all about it. One way or another, he's gonna make both of them talk and then...

What?

He shrugged. Whatever.

"To answer your question..hmm lets just say, sex makes me feel alive? Living for so long can mess with your mind and emotion.. it will attack your emotion first, making you feel so empty that nothing can anchor you in this world.. and then it'll rot your sanity, bit by bit.. until one day you'll become a mindless monster that you despised and fought before."

"Some choose to die and kill themselves before that happened. Some choose pain to feel alive. Some even choose to play with fire and sides with the enemy, just for the fun of it."

"A dose of excitement?"

"Yes, thats correct"

Iiana look at him with a grimace.

"And doesnt sex bored you to death,after doing it for thousands and million times"

Arya glanced at her and raised his eyebrows.

"You can never be bored with it"

"Well,I did."

"Then you got a short end stick. Your partner probably doesn't know how to make you feel in heaven.i know I can. Would you be interested in it? We can have three people, if you want to include Kuro"

"Not now, not ever and Not interested"

That made him smirked and leaned near her ear.

"Just imagine feeling every fiber of your beings and your receptors burned with unrelenting desires, setting your lust into inferno. Don't you want to know how it feels like? I can help you with that" Arya whispered softly while leaning his face even closer to Iiana, enticing her for a round of sweat-inducing 'exercise'.

Iiana put her whole palm on his face and push it away.

"I'm sure you could, with that amazing feat of practices, nobody can be better than you. You ought to get an award, if there are any. But no. I can sleep around but I choose not to. Especially not you"

"And why is that?"

Arya laughed listening to her logic, finding it funny. Did she not know that those with magic had the ability to cleanse themselves and would not contract any kind of diseases? Trust her to decline his offer. Most by now would already be dazed in lust and had started to take off their clothes and had a 'tumble with him' taking his offer without preamble. Yet this woman over here say no thank you? He had to say... though that had scratched his ego, his desire to conquer her surpass his manliness ego. A prey that he had set his eyes on. An interesting woman that had grabbed his attention. Who incidentally was his best friend's wife.

They went back to the living room, but this time without extra eyes or ears listening. The spirit weapon and the teenage boy wasn't there anymore. And kuro was now sitting on the chair which his wife had sat earlier.

"You're okay now?" That made the woman on Arya's embrace gone rock still. It was fun seeing her face changed from fussing over his 'hobbies' to a 'oh shit I forgot about that' and then 'somebody just kill me already' look.

"Wifey.." and that woman turned her face toward Arya's chest hiding her face. He could smell a nice fragrance coming off from her.

Hmmm... maybe if he could just leaned lower, he could -

Kuro cleared his throat.

"Arya, are you planning to share my wife with me?" Ask Kuro languidly, with a composed expression on his face. He look straight at Arya, raising his eyebrow. Arya grinned.

"Do I even need to ask your permission?"

"I am not joking." Suddenly, a blade appeared out of thin air spinning around, gracefully yet threateningly. And it seems pointed right toward Arya direction.

"I do not know. But she is interesting"

"Fair enough. Give her to me"

Iiana narrowed her eyes at Kuro, feeling she was treated as if she was an object for them to own and to share or passed between each other.

She push Arya shoulder and wiggle herself away from his embrace. She went to the left side, away from Arya and Kuro.

Three of them was staring each other as if there were stare competition. None willing to back down.

"What is your problem, my wife?"

"Nothing" kuro tapped his finger on the table few times.

"Nothing from you means something is going on. Be honest. We are all adult here."

Iiana lift her hand and point at Arya,

"Do we need to include an outsider here?" That earned a smirk from Kuro. Kuro lift his chin and look at his friend. Arya touched his heart.

"Ouch! That hurts. Am I really an outsider?"

"You are not my family nor my husband. Why are you here?" Said Iiana, putting her hands on her hips.

"Do I need to be a husband to be here? Then I accept"

Said Arya, that made Iiana jaw dropped. She doesn't know whether that man was joking or being serious. No, he must be joking.

"Nobody proposed you. My husband is mine. You can't take him"

That made Kuro face darken and Arya guffawed.

"For a woman that seems experienced, you are too dense. Why did you think I want you're husband?"

"Because you guys gave out the 'gay' bonds between each other, I assumed.. that maybe you guys had history together."

"We did not!" Said Kuro in a huffed.

"I mean you. You know here, woman can get married more than one. As long she's capable to handle two husbands then, its acceptable."

Iiana hold out both of her hands.

"Oho, stop right there. We are so not talking about this. I am currently busy talking with my husband, I need to sort this out and you're telling me adding another husband?" Though.. the more Iiana entertain that thoughts, the more it made her feel rather.. excited? What was that manga theme she always read? Oh yeah, reverse harem. If that really happened, she bet every last one of the reverse harem in the earth world would gladly die and wish to be transported her. Its a haven for sure.

"Iiana.." Kuro voiced dragged her out from her reverie and she felt like she was caught red-handedly for something. She feel guilty.

She point at Arya.

"You. Out. I don't need another husband."

Arya grinned.

"A no today, maybe a yes for tomorrow. A man never back down from their battle"

He turned around and left the room.

Kuro look at me and sigh.

"I am not angry. Even if you want him as your husband, I am fine with it. But for now, we need to settle this first. Why won't my own wife be honest with me? Do like it if it was reversed and I am the one who ran away from and pushing you away without a reason or two?"

Iiana head dropped low. She began to pour out all what she felt, every inch of insecurities that had been growing deep inside of her. Kuro listen with attentively, without look away even a second. After she finally done, Kuro raised his hand and beacon for his wife to come to him. He could come to her and gladly do it, but right now Kuro know that she need to make her own choice. She had to learned to accept it and learned to always come back to him. He won't force her. She simply just need to choose to stay there or move forward.

Her one step forward felt made it like something bloom inside of Kuro's heart.

She slowly walk toward Kuro and took his hand. Kuro wrapped it gently and grab it toward him. Making her seat on his lap, he wrapped her around him.

"We started this without love..and now, both of us are deeply connected and in love.. always know this, Iiana.. Whether I am there with you physically or not, my heart and everything is with you. I am not afraid to give it all to you, because I trust you. One day, You might break me, hurt me, love me, cherish me, make me angry, make me laugh and smile, make me cry and miss you but since I had given everything to you, I will learn to accept it all because My heart is truly yours."

That made Iiana breath hitched, feeling the magnitude of his feeling. How did her love became so wrapped that she could not see passed all of that fear? She was finally given a chance to be happy and her enemy that was blocking all that happiness was her own self. She wrapped her arms around Kuro and tears dropped down her cheeks.

"Thank you.. Kuro and I am sorry.. yes, what you've said is true. Love is all about the process of learning to accept your partners. I am not perfect as you are.. but together we can make this works"

"Don't you see? We always had been trying to make this marriage works. You and me and the kids.." Iiana wholeheartedly agreed.

Iiana wiped her tears and lean away and look at Kuro.

"That part is settled. Now on to the second part." Her hands was still folded behind Kuro's nape. Her smile made her eyes glitter beautifully and Kuro find it so enchanting.

"What is the second part?"

Iiana grinned and slowly look downward.

"I've been feeling it since the beginning.. I think somebody need some... help"

Kuro, usually the one with ice cold countenance, blushed slightly.

"I was hoping that you won't realised it"

"Why? You don't want to have a tumble with me?" Her mischievous side began to appear again and that made Kuro getting a shade redder.

"A-a tumble?"

Not wanting to waste time, Iiana hand slowly brush on his chest down to his lower part. Her eyes never leaving Kuro pained expression.

"If you are just teasing me, my wife.. tonight is not the time.. I can't promise you I can control myself."

"Then, don't. Let go everything" she raised her face and captured his lips with hers. Their tongues clashed and wrapped in a hot battle.

The night was long, and there... stood few figures around the room, spying. They silently bear witness to Kuro & Iiana very first night in a living room.

None dare to intrude. And every last one of them had a worst case of blue balls.
