Vincent was alone with Leilani in a cramped space for the second time in his life, but he didn't have any sinful thoughts playing in his mind. He wasn't too sure about her though. He could see redness painting her ears from the corner of his eyes. However, he didn't say a word, acting as if he couldn't feel her sexual tension. He took a big bite out of the fruit, eating it without making any noise. In contrast, Leilani felt her heart fluttering wildly, almost as if it was a bird yearning for freedom, who got set free from its cage. She couldn't help it. Vincent has always made her feel that way. And now that they were alone in a small tent with barely any space in between, her thoughts ran wild, making her believe that he will pounce on her and eat her from head to toe like a big bad wolf.

Surprisingly, nothing like that happened, making her wonder what's wrong with her man. Wasn't this the best time and the perfect place for him to make her his in both heart and body? Why isn't he taking any actions?

She felt disappointment rising in her heart as she turned to look at him, only to see that his eyes were closed and he was sitting on the futon with legs crossed. Of course, Vincent didn't know what she was thinking as he was busy breathing rhythmically and trying to absorb the medicinal essence of the Divine Continental Fruit!

You've consumed the Divine Continental Fruit

You've entered the energy channel opening process

A few notifications rang in his mind, but he didn't have the time or any intention to take note of it. His attention was focused on the changes he was undergoing. The medicinal essence of the fruit flowed through his veins, charging towards the first of his many energy channels. The feeling borough by the things happening in his body clouded his thoughts and dulled his senses. He could only feel something hot and heavy moving towards the energy channel located near his humane heart.

Bam! He heard a loud sound echoing in his mind as the massive wave of medicinal essence crashed on the sealed entrance of his energy channel. It only took a single for the entrance to get forced open, and the remaining essence rushed inside of his channel, nourishing it. The moment the energy channel got forced open, clarity returned to his being.

Your first energy channel has opened

Congratulations for reaching the intermediate evolutionary stage

You can now store 150 units of energy in your body

The medicinal essence of the Divine Continental Fruits is nourishing your energy channel. It is becoming thicker and wider than before

His energy channels expanded as the medicinal essence nourished it. The nourishing process continued for a few more minutes and finally came to an end when Vincent's first energy channel reached complete maturity.

Congratulations! Your first energy channel has expanded to its limit. You can now store a total of 200 units of any type of energy in your body

Vincent felt satisfied with the effects of the fruit that helped him to not only open an energy channel but also completely nourish it. His eyes snapped open and he saw Leilani looking at him with a somewhat lecherous look, water dripping down the corner of her mouth. She wiped away the suspicious water in a hurry before blinking her eyes at him innocently. She asked if he just opened a channel in his body, and Vincent replied with a nod, signifying he did do that.

"Aren't you going to eat the fruit?" Vincent asked while looking at Leilani.

"Oh, I was just about to do that," she replied in a hurry, moving her face away from him to hide the truth from him. However, Vincent did clearly saw the lecherous look on her face and that she was blushing for some reason. He wasn't a fool and could determine she was probably ogling at his face. Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

'She is my girlfriend and can look at me for as long as she likes,' he thought. He saw her consuming the fruit and closing her eyes to focus on consuming the medicinal essence. He silently leaned forward to take a better look at her face. She looked too cute up close and he kept on looking at her with a gentle gaze, brimming with something fiery.

He kept on staring at her, and soon a thudding voice sounded from her body, signifying that she had opened another one of her energy channels, and she opened her eyes. She had three opened energy channels already, which she got when awakening, but now she had 4 opened energy channels.

"Congratulation, my love!" Vincent exclaimed as he hugged her in excitement, unintentionally pushing her backward till her back hit the futon.

"Thanks," Leilani said as a loving smile blossomed on her face.

Vincent felt enchanted by her smile and he looked into her eyes, feeling that this position they were in was honestly too perfect for his plan to come to light.

"Tell me, what do you want to do tonight?" Vincent said, hovering over her lithe body.

Leilani's eyes opened wide as he intertwined his hands with hers. It was at this moment that she realized that they were in a very inappropriate position. It was a position most couples actively choose to make love!

"Nothing!" She yelled, closing her eyes and moving her head to the sides, feeling too shy and embarrassed to say anything.

Vincent felt that he was a big bad wolf that has trapped an innocent little cute deer in between its claws, ready to devour her whole. He leaned down, letting his sultry breath brush her ears, and whispered, "But I don't want to sleep just like this. I want to do something exciting with you, something only lovers do to each other."

Nope!

Leilani placed her hands on his face, pushing it away, unwilling to listen to his words. "Don't you have another fruit to eat? How about you eat it and become more powerful? You know, you'll be able to protect me better the stronger you are."

"True, but I don't want to protect your right now. I want to do something else, something with a deeper meaning." Vincent licked her soft palms, sliding his tongue across the gaps in her fingers, and licked them clean. Leilani jerked pressed underneath him and took her hands away from him while yelling out the words, my hands are dirty, you pervert!

"They aren't dirty, not even a single bit. They tasted extremely delicious. I believe the rest of your body will taste the same." Vincent said, licking her neck, moving up to her ears, and nibbling them. "I want to commit to you, and perform an act that will bound us two to each other. I'd like to hold you intimately. Kiss you in places no other man has" Vincent said huskily, whispering dirty words in her ears, making her emotions swirl out of control.

He took things a bit too far and Leilani ended up being unable to withstand his teasing. She transformed to her furry cat form with a puff. Vincent giggled, picked her up, and turned around, laying on the futon with the cat on top of him. Leilani purred in anger before mentally communicating her thoughts to him, each one laced with anger and frustration. Vincent didn't feel offended, instead he lovingly patted her and rubbed her chin, doing everything to please her. After all, he felt that her feline form voice was the most soothing melody in the universe and that she deserves a reward for having such a voice.

Leilani couldn't resist the temptation of his hands, and she gave in after throwing a tantrum for a few minutes, enjoying his attention to her heart's content.
