Relationships are complicated to explain... usually, people fall in love by the convenience of their own destiny, which finds and unites them in ways that even the Universe could not predict.
It's cliché, how could it not be? I mean, there are romances of all types and cases, but sometimes it's just the wanting that makes the change work. A romance doesn't appear out of nowhere. Who said that? For Cristine... well, she didn't exactly know when that started. She had a certain notion, perhaps.
A man who defies the very existence of Chaos... that's how she saw Strax when she truly met him. Enemies are common, stories of ex-enemies falling in love are common, but not that of a devoted assassin to the God of Death falling for a man who killed her two brothers in cold blood, without even feeling remorse...
Okay, that was too much...
But what I mean is... Unexpected things happen all the time, and honestly, so what? Sometimes, love arises from the most unlikely circumstances, defying all expectations and logic. And somehow, that's what makes love so fascinating and true.

Cristine leaned back on the pillow, still with the warmth of Strax's kiss on her lips and the comforting sensation of his embrace etched in her memory. The revelation of her feelings was something she had never planned, something beyond her rational understanding. That moment was a breach of her expectations, an unexpected intrusion into her well-organized and calculated world.
She smiled to herself, with no one to witness the internal change. She thought about how complicated and wonderful this new feeling was. Amid her life full of darkness and responsibilities, Strax brought an unexpected light, and maybe that was what she needed.
"Maybe that's what love does," she whispered to the emptiness around her thoughts, "it defies order, mixes with chaos, and creates something beautiful and unexpected."
Her thoughts were interrupted when Strax entered the room, still with a concerned look, bringing a jug of water. "How are you feeling now?" he asked gently.
Cristine turned to him, a sincere smile lighting up her face. "Better. Much better, actually."
Strax sat beside her, his presence a constant comfort. "I'm glad to hear that." He said, handing her a glass of water.
Some time passed.
Strax had sat beside her while stroking her hair to help her sleep, something she hadn't initially refused, but she... didn't want to sleep anymore. The soft light of the room had created a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. They talked for hours about trivial things like the Temple that Cristine was part of, her life as a nun, and other matters she had never told anyone.
Thus, creating a sense of closeness that they were both beginning to explore.
"You know there's no turning back, right?" he asked, wanting to hear it directly from her; after all, just the action wasn't enough. He wanted her, he wanted her entirely, he wanted all of her, so it was only fair that she said what she was truly feeling because when it happened...
"I won't regret it." She murmured, blushing as he smiled. She never imagined she could even say that to someone, but she gathered courage from every part of her being, which burned with desire, "I want to be yours." She said, sighing between fear and embarrassment.
His reaction could be nothing else, of course... "Then you are mine... Forever." He said, his possessive dark gaze beginning to blend with his desires, and then, with confirmation.
Strax quickly swapped positions with her, changing their places... "!!!" She felt something strange; she was now lying down, and between her legs was the man holding her. Her legs closed involuntarily, wrapping around the man's waist, who attacked her again with lustful kisses.
The only thing passing through both of their minds was... "I want more," he said out loud.
Wet sounds echoed in the room.
Kiss* Kiss* Kiss*

The system chimed as he continued to enjoy the sweet lips of the assassin woman who was now... just an excited little girl wanting more and more...
" S-Slowly..." she groaned between kisses.
After they pulled away from the passionate kiss, Cristine looked at Strax with eyes still a bit dazed, clearly immersed in the moment, and said quickly, "Take my clothes off now..." She said, blushing, unable to wait any longer!
Strax merely smiled like a predator as he quickly removed his own clothes. Then, he approached Cristine and began undressing her.
First, he gently removed the leather garment, which was a bit creased and wrinkled from being pressed against Strax's strong arms for so long...
