"...Maybe we should do it in front of them, Rhys Wilder?"
"Stop it with the jokes already, just free us!"
"The two of you can go hanky panky anytime you want after this and dry out Rhys's balls, but just get us out of thing goddamn thing first!"
"This... is kind of highly erotic, no? I think the adrenaline's finally getting to me."
All Rhys has been hearing for the past couple of hours were the voices of women, all urging them to free them from their confinement. And Rhys also wanted to do just that...
...that was his desire. And so he did, and perhaps since Maria's was the last voice he heard, it was Maria who he was able to summon close to him. But as he did so, however, something in him...
...snapped.
He could feel it, physically. It was a pulse, strong enough to cause his body to violently convulse for a single millisecond. The blood of Eros that was flowing through his veins was getting stronger by the second, almost as if there were still a part lying dormant that was suddenly jolted awake—no, that is exactly what it felt like.
It felt exactly the same as when he first awakened the blood of Eros, except stronger... much stronger.
Rhys absolutely despises the feeling as it feels like a part of him is disappearing. And although most parts of him were a rollercoaster of insanity, he still treasured them so much so because it was the only thing keeping him going — the silent rage.
Or perhaps it wasn't insanity that was being taken away, perhaps it was the last semblance of his sanity...
...completely replaced with something else entirely.
"So, are you still deciding or—Hrk!?" And as Maria was still moving her hips up and down and brushing Rhys's pants with her hands, Rhys suddenly pulled her hair down to the point she was almost already lying on her back; diagonally, since her ass was still resting on Rhys's lap,
"No.'
And before Maria could finish her words, Rhys very gently lifted her up before placing her on her feet back on the ground... leaving her blinking a couple of times in confusion.
"I will consider us even now, Maria," Rhys then just calmly let out a small but very deep sigh as he smiled at Maria, "You drugged me and stripped me naked, and I embarrassed you in front of your friends — I can call that justice...
...but that's not really a punishment for you, no?"
"..." Maria did not really say anything... because what Rhys said was true — it wasn't punishment that humiliated her in front of Katarina and the others, she liked it. She liked it very much.
The punishment was that he stopped.
"Recruit..." And finally, Ayesha and the others were able to react as Rhys somewhat calmed down now, "...You really should get a therapist, you know."
"Try it, won't work," Rhys then closed his eyes as he took another short but very deep breath. And as he inhaled, Ayesha suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Ball sack!" Ayesha immediately gasped as she found herself suddenly free and out of Arachnea's trap, "Oh, I don't like that feeling, I don't like it at all. I was just there and now I'm here. Recruit, how are you—"
Ayesha did not finish her words before immediately covering herself up and backing away from Rhys,
"...You're not gonna choke me too, right? Because I am telling you I am not into that kinky stuff."
"No, just..." Rhys could really only let out an awkward chuckle as he shook his head, "I have it under control...
...I have everything under control."
