Several hours later, Matt and Alice were still in the same position, while the essence of both of them was shaking from the blows. The pain in their bodies was almost unbearable.
This was especially true of Alice's body, as she had not trained it too much before. The pain was so terrifying that she felt like her body was going to fall backward, but being held by Matt somehow gave her strength. It was as if she didn't want to let go of being hugged by him, so she didn't let go.
Instead, she put her head on Matt's shoulder and looked sideways at him, smiling softly.
"Matt... How did you manage to pass me information earlier? That's amazing. Only humans have a tactic like that, did you manage to figure it out somehow?"
Being an uncommon tactic among humans, it was more amazing that Matt knew about it. But if it was Matt, Alice believed he could do anything, so even though she was surprised, she didn't doubt him.
Matt opened his eyes and looked at her.
'Not doubting me and even being so open to me despite knowing it's a tactic only humans can do. I don't know if it's that she's too trusting or it's that somehow my status in her heart is greater than I thought.' Matt thought, though he smiled.
That wasn't a bad thing. Having a person he could trust like that was an amazing thing. Naturally, he wasn't going to blame her for it.
And this time, he wasn't going to make up an excuse or lie to her like he had done on several occasions in the past.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." He replied teasingly.
She raised her arm behind Matt and began stroking his hair. "Okay, I'll believe whatever you tell me." She was sincere.
And that was a plus, Matt noticed.
Then he sighed.
"If so, you should know that my last name hasn't always been this. And before I met you, my name was Matthew, the Ice Assassin." He replied.
Alice found this confusing. "What a curious nickname; I've never heard it before."
'Since we are not lovers, we don't have that perfect symbiosis for which the training was created. Enduring 8 hours is already beyond our limit... I see, so that's why.'
Although they had grown stronger, it was useless if they couldn't move well. Therefore, Matt deactivated the inscription, causing the transparent blood to stop moving. At the same time, these inscriptions absorbed the blood, and the bathtub began to fill with water.
Matt was holding Alice so she wouldn't fall backward, but Alice was sure that, right now, she had no strength in her body.
Still, when she felt the water hitting her body, which was in close contact with Matt's, for some strange reason, she felt his mind give a buzz, which sent her rationality into the depths of unconsciousness.
Her red eyes glowed with intensity, and she looked at Matt, who was having a similar reaction.
No, before Alice's eyes only entered the Matt she wanted to feel. The Matt she wanted to hug. The man who had somehow made her fall in love.
That activated her animal instincts, bringing the strength back into her body when she noticed Matt's lips so uncovered and so close to her.
Without thinking of the consequences, she immediately sent her lips to meet Matt's, and suddenly, Matt felt his lips being sealed.
Both had held back for an extended period. Although Matt was an expert at holding back, he couldn't do it properly this time, and his animal instincts invaded him.
When he felt those soft lips kissing him and noticed that beautiful face so close to him, as well as feeling Alice's body pressed against his that showed him what she wanted, he held her tighter, enveloping her in an intense kiss as well. He pushed her to the other end of the tub because of how excited he was, surprising her.
Although she longed to be reciprocated, she still found herself surprised when he reciprocated. Everything she had been holding back then suddenly came gushing out. Then Matt's curious hands and, in an instinctive movement, moved to Alice's bottom, squeezing her buttocks hard.
This was a totally new feeling for Alice, and many sudden things came together in her body. The moment, the excitement, all that she had held in for so long and her already wet bottom, added to Matt making her feel a new feeling, made a big moan escape from her mouth, while a totally different spurt escaped from her other mouth...
"Ahnnn!" Despite the fact that they were kissing, this moan still sounded slightly harsh and arousing. It was so beautiful that it caused numerous reactions in Matt.
But it was also the moan that brought him back to reality.
At the same time, the water in the bathtub peaked, and Alice couldn't handle the number of emotions and ended up fainting.
