Shadow Monarch: Heroines Could Hear My Thoughts?!

Chapter 42- Aria's Reward* (Part 2)

So, the two of them put their pinky fingers together and looked at each other. Rin then took the initiative to sing it for her.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." He said as he gently shook their fingers together.

"Huh? Cupcake, fufu! That's weird!" She said.

"Hey! I only tried it now, you know."

Then, they both released their fingers. It was done, the promise was sealed and Rin will have to keep it no matter what. Death wasn't an option in the first place and it will never be an option any time soon.

After that, they took the time to chat idly about insignificant topics. The mood was just perfect and they found it quite enjoyable talking to each other.

Now that Rin thinks about it, he didn't have any deep conversations with Aria at all. They just treated each other nicely and that's it. He noticed that he didn't really know much about Aria except the general knowledge he collected here and there.

But, through this conversation. He got to know Aria more, what she likes and dislikes, what she wants to do in the future, and many other things.

However, what surprised him, even more, was the fact that they shared a lot of similarities together. They liked many similar things and hate many similar things. It was a good surprise for both of them as it meant that they are not that different from people.

Finally, after a few hours, Aria lay on the bed with a sigh. She doesn't remember the last time she enjoyed talking with someone for this long like this before. Rin shared the same thoughts as Aria too. It was fun to talk with her, Aria was a cheerful, mature yet also cute person. She was a great mix of all these traits into one single person.

"Neh, Rin."

"Hmm?"

"What do you think of the princess?"

"Elise?" He asked before he quickly closed his mouth shut.

"Elise, huh? So you both are on first name bases."

Aria's look made Rin feel nervous. He tried to stand up to leave but Aria was faster as she held his hand and pulled him to the bed.

Then, she pinned him on top of her and made him gaze deeply into her eyes without a chance of escaping at all.

Her soft body was sticking closely to his body, he could clearly feel the weight of her soft thighs on his legs as she moved ever-so-slightly from time to time which weirdly stimulated him. Her body simply felt way too good even though they were barely touching.

It felt as if she doing this on purpose to him. However, Rin stopped himself from thinking about any lewd thoughts. Luckily, he was good at self-control so he can do that much in front of this gorgeous woman.

'I'm not like those virgin MCs who can only think with that part.' He thought to himself.

"Rin, focus!" She cupped his cheeks to make him look at her.

She heard what Rin said but tried to hold herself from grinning widely. Even though she didn't get what he was saying, she understood that Rin was aware of her as an individual of the opposite sex.

Since she was young, Aria was aware of her rare beauty. She knew that she was basically very attractive to the opposite sex with her curvy body. But, she didn't even entertain the thought of attracting men around her.

That's whys, most of the time, she wears clothes that cover her body. Rarely had she worn anything even remotely revealing as she felt disgusted by the weird looks men gave her. Especially nobilities, those bastards made her feel as if she wants to puke.

Many tried to ask for her hand in marriage but she adamantly refused it and made sure no one ever puts a hand on her at all.

'My everything is for Rin. No one will dare to do anything to me. I only want My Rin to look at me like that and touch me however he wanted.' She thought in her head as she started moving her butt left and right teasingly.

She made sure to make it look as if it was not her intention to do so just to see Rin's reaction.

"A-Aria…"

"Answer my question." She said as she increased the speed very slightly.

'Is she crazy? Stop it, Aria. I'm a man too.' He gritted his teeth and tried to ignore the soft feeling weighing on his crotch.

"Well, she just had something to talk about with me. That's all. I can maybe consider her a friend of mine at most."

"Is that true? What if you're lying to me now, hmm?"

Increasing the intensity up another notch, Rin was starting to feel a pleasant feeling there and was on the verge of 'waking up'. He tried to hold that in and push Aria away. But, the difference in strength was very apparent as Aria easily ignored him and continued her attacks.

"Why are you trying to go?"

"I just want to wake up." He replied as he hid his struggle.

"Hmm, no. I don't want to. Let's stay like this for a while."

"How long?"

"An hour maybe," Aria suggested after thinking for a bit.

"An hour?! No, I have to go, really."

"No~" A

'She started acting like a spoiled child. ' Rin wanted to scream at the top of his lungs at how unfair the world was.

It was mental torture for him to bear all of these stimulations and still keep it himself. Rin was a healthy, straight boy and the girl laying on top of him was basically the reincarnation of seduction.

Her breasts and butt were plump and perfectly round. With a single move, Aria could basically turn any man into a rabid dog who can only think with his dick rather than his brain.

That would've been the same case for Rin if he didn't have the mental capacity of 5 grown-ass men or he would've already bounced on Aria and ravaged her.

"What are you thinking of?"

Suddenly, Aria whispered in his ear with her breathy, warm voice. Rin felt a shudder run down his spine from that soft voice.

'System, save me!' He asked for help from the only person that he could ask for help.

[Many will curse you to hell for this, host. Please, be silent.]

'System?! Are you mad too?!!'

[I might retire soon, host. I can't bear this.]

'Stop with this bullshit and help me, please!'

[Enjoy, host.]

'No, you traitor!'

Rin cursed under his breath and then looked at Aria. Her deep, red eyes made him lose himself in them for a second. They just worked to absorb his soul and make him stare at them in a daze for hours and hours if he didn't look away quickly.

"Your teasing is really bad, Aria."

"What teasing?" She asked with a mysterious voice.

"T-This teasing. You are laying on top of me, you know?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm just spoiling my little brother. Or, are you thinking of something else, Rin?"

Her eyes shone with a weird light as she gazed at him deeply, never averting them not for a second. For some reason, doing this to Rin was so enjoyable and quite exciting.

She never thought getting these reactions from him will excite her this much as she was never someone to enjoy such things. Yet, at this moment, Aria discovered something about her that she never knew before.

'What is this? It's so much fun. Looking at Rin struggling and feeling nervous made my heart beat wildly. It's so intoxicating. Oh no! I might get addicted to this~~~'

Feeling her breathing turning erratic and her face flushing red, Aria started closing up on Rin with her small, plump lips opening slowly. Her mind was in shambles at the moment as she lost control over her actions for a moment.

'Kiss… Maybe if I kiss him… I will get an adorable reaction from him. Maybe he will even kiss me back. Maybe…'

She kept giving excuses for herself as she got closer and closer to Rin's face. As she was barely a few centimeters away from him, the door knocked suddenly.

"Aria, Rin, are you there?"

'Tsk, mother. WHY NOW?!!!' Aria felt quite displeased but quickly shook her head and dismounted from Rin who breathed a sigh of relief.

'A second ago was Aria about to… No, I can't think of that now!' He quickly shook his head and focused on the real world.

"I enjoyed our time together, Rin. Let's do it again soon."

'No! I don't want to challenge my mental fortitude again!' He sighed with a smile.

"Maybe another time as you said. But, not here."

"Oh! Even though I had a great 'reward' for you. Well, that's unfortunate."

'I don't even want to know what kind of reward she was talking about.' The boy didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

(A//N: I would take that reward, to be honest :) )
