"Well, you have a better chance at testing it out if you actually do the damn thing," Hana hissed under her breath. "You’re going to waste time talking and then—Eek!" A gasp escaped her lips as he pushed his fingers in without warning. "You..."

"Ah, sorry. You said we were talking too much and I wanted to get on with it." He grinned, but the look in his eyes had changed.

He looked a little fanatic, like he was staring at a god he worshiped. Hana had never seen that look on him before and in a way, it felt creepy.

"Well, I’ll stop with the teasing now," he blinked his eyes and that fanatic gaze disappeared. "And I’ll do it. Can’t have this chance taken from me just like that, right?"

Then, slowly, he positioned his cock in front of her pussy and pushed inside her with a fluid motion that drew a strangled gasp from her throat despite the fact that she had bitten her lip.

Raiden was slenderer than Caspian—obviously—but he knew exactly how to move to get a reaction. He kept his eyes locked on hers, watching the way her pupils dilated with every shallow, rapid thrust he made.

He wasn’t being too fast and he wasn’t being too slow either, and each time he thrust, he found a way to hit her g-spot, as if his cock knew exactly where it was located.

It felt good, toe curling good and Hana felt like she might actually get an orgasm out of this.

Raiden watched her reaction, listened to her muffled moans, and knew he was making her feel good. But how good? Was it better than the dragons? Did the dragon also make her gut knot in pleasure? Did he make her toes try to dig into her very flesh?

​"Am I better than the lizard, Hana?" he panted, a smug, playful glint returning to his green eyes even in the heat of the moment. "Tell me I’m better."

​"Shut up... fox." Hana breathed, her head tossing back against the memory foam.

​The pleasure was sharper, and focused on speed and friction. She felt it screaming in every nerve on her body. Her cells were ringing.

This fox... he knew exactly what he was doing.

Raiden didn’t wait for her to reach her climax slowly; he chased it with single-minded intensity.

He used his hands to hold her hips steady, his thumbs digging into her skin as he picked up the pace, his tails whipping the air behind him in a blurry motion.

​Hana felt the coil in her abdomen tighten rapidly. With Raiden, it was a sprint, not a marathon.

Within minutes, she felt the familiar, hot rush of an orgasm crashing over her. She bit her lip to keep from crying out too loudly—the others were still just a few crates away, after all and they had great hearing.

​Raiden saw the change in her face and let out a low, triumphant hiss. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his body tensing as he felt her walls clamp around his cock, squeezing him as if begging for his seed.

He used that thought to console himself.

"I’m cumming now, Hana. Can I... mph... do it inside?" He asked and she nodded, though her eyes were shut, reeling the feeling of her orgasm.

And then with a final thrust, his hot semen splurted inside her.

His body vibrated, his grip turning bruising, and his breath ragged.

It felt good. He felt like he was burying his entire self inside her.

"Hana," he grunted and then opened his eyes to find the pleasure still written all over her face. It fed his ego, fed his conscience...

He made Hana feel good.

​After the tension had released, they lay there for a moment longer, both of them breathing hard, the only sound being the distant clank of Caspian and Kulu moving cables near the ceiling.

> ​[QUEST COMPLETED: THE BOND’S NURTURE]

> Objective: Individual session with Mate: Raiden.

> Reward: +15,000 Karmic Points.

> Current Balance: -1,041,880

​Raiden pulled back slightly, his hair a mess and his eyes glowing with satisfaction. He planted small, quick kisses along her jawline and then stopped at her collarbone.

"That was... More than enough to motivate me for a lifetime of cable pulling." He said, his eyes glinting in happiness.

"Good. Now get dressed clothes," ​Hana said as she gently pushed him off, sitting up and staring at her stomach, as well as the traces of sperm spilling out of her.

Wait, this was her bed, wasn’t it?

Who was going to clean this mess?

Hana stared at the damp, pale streaks on the memory foam mattress with a twitch of her brow. It seems she miscalculated on this part.

"Raiden," she called, her voice regaining its sharp, managerial edge as she grabbed a stray towel to blot the mess sliding down her thighs. "You’re cleaning this." She said simply.

Raiden, still riding the high of his ’victory’ over the lizard, didn’t even look bothered. He sat up, his nine tails swishing contentedly, seemingly unbothered by his nakedness.

"Whatever you wish, my love. I’ll make it as spotless as my own reflection."

"Just do it," Hana muttered, standing up and pulling her dress back into place.

Her body still vibrated with the aftermath of sex and a powerful orgasm, which Raiden had put her through, but the glowing blue numbers in her system window kept her grounded.

So far so good.

She crackled her spine a bit to feel her waist and then turned to the heavy, blue lithium-ion blocks and the inverter.

"Now, the reward session is over. We have exactly one hour before Caspian and Kulu finish the cable run. If this system isn’t live by then, you’re losing that ’delicate touch’ title."

Raiden scrambled to his feet, dressing with a speed that proved he was indeed motivated. He knelt beside her as she opened the digital manual on the Aegis tablet she picked up.

"Listen closely," Hana said, pointing to the terminals. "I’m going to wire the batteries in a series. You are going to hold the leads steady while I tighten the bolts. Do not—under any circumstances—let the red metal touch the black metal. If you do, you’ll see a spark that’ll burn every one of those beautiful tails off."

Raiden’s ears flattened, his green eyes fixated on the copper wires.

"No sparking. Got it."
