Night at Clyde's house…

"I'm not complaining," Clyde said, "but you almost toppled us over the edge . " Melody was on her knees, face flushed, corner of her eyes glistening with held back tears .

"I'm so sorry," she said then babbled . "I have no idea what I'm doing—I saw it on TV once and Tear told me that men loved it when women surprised them . "

"Well, you've got the surprised part right," Clyde said . "Anyway, you've been meaning to talk to me?"

Melody sagged .

"Maybe tomorrow…" She almost ran off but Clyde caught her .

"Melody . "

"Tomorrow," she urged . Clyde released her . The trickster's pride got the better of her .

Sat.u.r.day . Week 3 . Month 1 . Year 1 . Season: Autumn .

Clyde rolled to the side until his face met softness . He yawned, deciding to just wake up, but not without first snuggling into Alice's chest . She giggled then nibbled his ear . After the awkward fallout with Melody, he simply went back to his room and ended up making love to his life mate . She wanted it four times . It was a miracle the young man didn't get sore . Why did Ki only increase once per day?

[Soul is at 2 . Command is at 2 . Radiance is at 2 . ]

"Let's fool around some more," Alice said . He could still feel her pride at the strength of the ward on the door . "You need your Ki-fill for today . "

Clyde's mountain felt like it could be used to hammer nails . The half-demoness smirked .

"Fill me up," she said . "No more pulling out . "

"I see someone's trying to get pregnant," Clyde said .

"Tear told me it feels really, really, good when you finish to the very end without any interruption . "

"Guess I'll just buy condoms then, which I keep forgetting for some reason . "

"No condoms . "

Clyde entered her .

"Then I'll have to pull out . " He began the gentle thrust, starting the love-dance . "Tear's going to end up filling you with weird ideas . "

Alice rolled her eyes but whatever convincing face she tried to make went away at the sound of her moan . Clyde grinned evilly .

"What's that?" He moved faster, plowed harder .

"You—oh!" She dug her nails into his back . "I told you we're life mates . Besides . "

She motioned for Clyde to lend her his ear . "I love you . "

Clyde gasped—he knew, but hearing it, seemed to strengthen his own feelings . They gazed at each other for just a moment before the young man began the pa.s.sionate kissing .

"I love you too," he said then chuckled . "Being honest with myself feels d.a.m.ned good . "

Alice nearly squealed as she hugged him tightly .

"Say it again," she said . Clyde felt his face heat up .

"I love you, Alice . "

[Alice is now head-over-heels in love with you . ]

[You have gained a life-mate barrier for 100% extra HP . Capturing a heart like this so fast has been noted by a someone of higher power . You now have good favor with Cupid, G.o.d of love . Don't worry, no one's watching your intimate moments as it is illegal and even impossible . Your own dietic s.h.i.+ne blinds anyone who attempts to peek on you uninvited . ]

[Remember, you must think of the possible benefits from multiple wives . ]

He half-expected to wake up from a dream, but Alice's warmness, the love in her eyes, and the approaching climax was definitely real . Dumb luck occurred when they both released . He intended to kiss her face more and show out . The load landed on the half-demoness's stomach .

"I almost gave you a baby," he said with a relieved chuckle .

Alice simply hugged him tighter as they panted .

"I look forward to it one day," she said, her voice nearly a whisper . "Our cute little baby . "

Clyde could not find any reason to ruin the mood with a joke . Alice's cute expression almost made him leap into action to deliver the ray of suns.h.i.+ne earlier than expected . He lightly brushed hair from her face and kissed soft lips .

Alice's face was flushed, kissing him back with more pa.s.sion . The duo was about to go wild when a knock slashed through the mood like a knife through b.u.t.ter .

"Young master Clyde, Lady Alice, please stop going at it like rabbits and prepare for your meeting with the vampires," Yuki said . "Harumi will be over in less than a half-hour . "

Clyde and Alice both stifled laughs as they hurried to handle morning activities .

"d.a.m.n— the water's a bit hot, what are you trying to do, boil me?" Clyde said as he joined Alice in the large bathtub . The bubbles smelled of roses . She moved into his lap .

"I've dealt with my fair share of vampires," Alice said . "The n.o.bles can be just as prissy, arrogant, or plotting as demons . They're always plotting . And every girl will try to get you into bed, but I won't be leaving you alone for that . I don't need you becoming a dried-up prune—not especially after…" She squealed, ducked under the water for half a minute then emerged in a spectacular display that led to kissing the young man .

Clyde melted in the moment .

As they wrapped the bathing up fifteen minutes later, the young man took the time to examine his stats only . He'd look at skills, inventory, and everything else later .

He'd come up with a guideline to see exactly where they applied, except for obvious things like Speed and Will . Will determined the activation of Heart protection whether on himself or someone else . It was also a.s.sociated with his will and possibly ability to make decisions . He'd have to figure it the details as soon as possible .

Since there seemed to be no sign of a level cap whatsoever, Clyde had to a.s.sume his stats were terribly low .

Battle wasn't the only use for many of them and his numbers would matter to anyone who wasn't OP . He nodded to himself, making yet another silent vow to improve .
