Chapter 2204: I do not wish to rest * "Don’t miss me too much, okay?" He grinned. "And if you do miss me, Call me. You know how, correct?" And after saying those words, he walked away and the doors of the room closed behind him and— Silence. Silence rushed in and filled the enormous room. Sharnoth stayed on her side, knees drawn up, fingers still buried inside herself. The ’ache’ between her legs had turned into something... that felt alive. It seemed to be getting hotter, more swollen and... angrier or... more frustrated. It throbbed with every heartbeat. Her nipples hurt, her skin felt too tight, she stared at the closed doors, confused. Why... Why did it hurt so much? She was the same woman who was wounded by explosions that could cause the worlds to disappear, the same woman who had lost limbs in battles, multiple times and she only took a potion and rebuilt them. For someone like her... This should be nothing. But... But it wasn’t nothing. Her body remembered his cold hands, his warmth, the thick line of him pressed against her. It remembered it all and it... it wanted it all. ’And if you do miss me, Call me.’ Suddenly, Nux’s words echoed, for an instant—she was tempted, she wanted to call him but then, her mind took over again and rejected that idea. No. That cannot happen. Not to mention Nux still needed to deal with the Infinities, it was better to let him go, Sharnoth too, did not want this to continue, as for this ’ache’ she was feeling... She can deal with this on her own. Her body began to move again, her hips rolled forward, grinding against nothing but air and the fingers that were inside her warmth, still, moved again, first in slow circles before gaining pace. And as she moved— "Nnh... haannh!" A soft, broken moan slipped out of her mouth. It felt good... good but... not enough. Her mind began to reason, why didn’t it feel as good as when Nux was here? And soon, she rationalized it. Right now, there was nothing solid to press her butt against. And to deal with this problem— Sharnoth turned onto her back, thighs falling open. She lifted her hips and began grinding her soaked panties against the cloud-like mattress, chasing pressure. Her other hand slid up her stomach and cupped her own breast, squeezing it hard. "Aanh... haah!!!" She moaned again, the pleasure she felt hiked a little but... Again, still not enough. She was close... yet... it felt... far. The Chaos Heir squeezed her eyes shut, hips rolling faster, fingers moving faster and faster insides, going even deeper than Nux’s. And just then— "Sharnoth Nocthys... what are you doing?" A low, familiar voice spoke right beside her ear and— "!!!" Sharnoth’s eyes shot open and as she turned around, her eyes fell on him. Nux. Lying on his side next to her, head resting lazily on one hand, elbow sunk into the pillow. His golden eyes shone with gentle amusement and something... infinitely softer. "N-Nux...?" She stuttered, her eyes staring at the man in front of her, chest heaving. Her gaze darted to the doors, then back to him. "D-Didn’t you... leave...?" She asked, her voice barely coming out because of how embarrassed and exhausted she was. And Nux... He didn’t answer with words. Instead his free hand settled on top of the one she still had between her legs, Sharnoth took a deep breath when she felt its warmth and gentleness, even though Nux wasn’t doing anything, even the lightest pressure of his fingers on hers made her whole body jerk. "Aaanh—!" "And leave you here alone?" He asked in a low, extremely gentle and kind voice. "What made you think I would ever do that?" And the moment she heard those words— Something inside Sharnoth’s chest cracked wide open. All the pride, all the lies about promises and duty, all the walls she had built around her heart all this time—they crumbled in one breath. Tears spilled down her cheeks and she— "Y-You did all that to me..." She whimpered, her small voice cracking. "You left me... I thought... I thought you really went away..." Before she even completed her words, she scrambled closer, hiding her burning face in his chest. Her body shook with messy and at the same time relieved sobs. Nux gently wrapped his arms around her. One hand stroked her back in slow circles, the other cradled the back of her head, filling her body with warmth and comfort it had forgotten. "So I can’t even tease you for just fifteen minutes now? You are so harsh, my little pillow." He whispered against her hair and the instant she heard those words, "F-Fifteen minutes...?" Sharnoth hiccuped, clutching his shirt. Her reaction made Nux chuckle again, he knew exactly what she was thinking but he just smiled. "Only fifteen. You looked so cute trying to be strong, I couldn’t resist watching a little longer. I apologize." He spoke as his hand continued to rub her back, sending waves of extreme comfort that seemed to calm down all the pain and ache she was feeling. "F-Fifteen minutes...? It felt like... like days..." She pulled back just enough to stare at him, her tears still hadn’t stopped and her eyes, they didn’t hide her suspicion. And Nux grinned— "Did you forget how time works in our Universe?" He asked and in an instant, Sharnoth’s reaction changed. "The more intensely you feel moment, the longer it will become. If fifteen minutes we spent here felt like days to you then..." Nux moved his head closer to Sharnoth’s, his golden eyes staring into her confused crimson and— "Then Sharnoth Nocthys, you felt that moment much more strongly than you are admitting." "N-No, that is not tru—AanNnhhh!!!" Sharnoth tried to resist, to not fall for his words, to not... give in but— The moment Nux pressed her fingers with his, moving them deeper inside her, her body jerked as a strong wave of pleasure coursed through her entire body. "Not true?" And Nux repeated her words in a voice so soft that even his voice sent small waves of pleasure throughout her body, making it even weaker than it already was. "Have you started lying now, Sharnoth Nocthys?" "N-No, I am n-not lying." Sharnoth still didn’t give in, but Nux was prepared— "Should I read your memories then?" And in an instant— "No!" Sharnoth shook her head. It wasn’t because she had given in, she had not, she just... she just did not remember every emotion she had felt in these past few days or... minutes. The last thing she wanted was for Nux to read her memories and Nux grinned at her struggle. "So you do not wish to give in, neither do you want me to read your memories then... Do you perhaps... want me to leave?" "No!" Again, Sharnoth shook her head, this time, even more strongly than before and Nux laughed. He once again wrapped his arms around her and hugged her like she was the most precious thing in the world. "Don’t worry, I have no intention of going anywhere." Those words alone eased Sharnoth’s entire body, so much that she practically melted into his arms, but then, she paused as she recalled something— "You said something about the other Infinities, what happened to th—" "Shhh." Before the Chaos Heir could speak, Nux tightened his hug around her and shushed her. "Don’t think about it." He whispered as he began ruffling her hair so gently that for a moment, Sharnoth exhausted body felt like it would drift into slumber. But she quickly shook her head to keep herself awake and— "No, Nux, you need to leave, if the other Infiniti—" "Sharnoth." Nux stopped her again. "None of that matters right now, I am with you, that is all that matters." "But—" "You will not talk about it again, That is an order. Is that clear?" "..." Sharnoth did not know what to say and Nux very gently kissed her forehead, "Good girl. Now get some rest. You must be tired." Sharnoth too, did not resist anymore, she moved closer to him, once again, her breasts pressed against his chest and her crotch... against his. "Hnnngg~~" The Chaos Heir moaned ever so lightly, but she didn’t stop. After all, she too, could feel Nux’s ’hardness’, so this time, she began to grind her crotch on Nux’s dick, as she continued to press her breasts on him. "I do not wish to rest." She whispered, her mouth releasing warm, moist breath as she spoke with a hazy look in her eyes. "Oh? You do not?" Nux raised his eyebrows as he grinned, his hand moved from her back to her ass and after giving it a strong squeeze, making it body flinch, his fingers traced down, all the way to her entrance to tease her, making her flinch again. But this time, Sharnoth did not reply like usual— Since she was no longer bound by her promise or something foolish like that, she moved back in order to face him, then—she looked right into Nux’s eyes, her hand moved down, directly cupping his balls through his pants and— "I do not." She answered.
