FFF-Tier System, SSS-Rank Wife-Chapter 59: Temptress of the morning

It took me a total of three nights in this world to finally wake up well rested.

The first night, one I’ve spent camped out in the jungle with nothing but Selia’s promise of her barrier working. And it didn’t take a genius to figure out just how well I could sleep with nothing but a stone for a pillow, tree for a backrest and constant fear of death for a blanket.

Surprisingly enough, the second night still wasn’t all that better.

Sure, it was one hell of an improvement when compared to the first, but just like all the naps I took on Selia’s lap, it left me weirdly exhausted. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

On the outside, I felt as if I had a good night of sleep, with the soreness of my muscles gone and head a lot clearer than it was the night before. It wouldn’t be until I’ve finally figured out what this weird dream of mine was and how I actually worked even harder inside of it than in the world of living that I realized the full extent of my exhaustion.

Just like with the hunger, there was simply some sort of unknown force that stopped me from realizing just how far I’ve pushed myself and just how much more rest, food and other kinds of essentials I needed to get myself back in perfect shape.

Ultimately, it wouldn’t be until this night that I would wake up properly rested, with not a single iota of exhaustion, physical or mental, to burden my morning with.

It felt as if some sort of a film was taken off my eyes, off my brain, off my thoughts... Off my entire self.

"Haaah..."

The sigh I breathed out wasn’t as much of a relief as it was of a proper relaxation.

Sure, there was a lot more I could ask for. A better mattress filled with an actual filling over the rocks and leaves of the one in the Inn’s bed. A fluffy, warm duvet to keep the cold away and half-open window with its blackout shutters drawn fully to the bottom to create a perfect mix of fresh air, sounds of the outside and the near perfect, pitch darkness.

’I guess that could become my ultimate dream in this world,’ I thought, taking my time to properly cast off my morning dizziness before even bothering to open my eyes.

There was no rush for me to move either. And judging from the lack of movement, Selia had yet to wake up too, removing the very last pressing factor for me to wake up.

A few minutes later, after I properly lazed around on the bed for a bit, I finally had enough and pulled my eyelids up, revealing the roof of the room we were in and the absolute lack of covers shielding my body from the cold of the morning.

’Right, I’ve used it to trap Selia down...’ I thought, turning my head to the side to check on the girl...

Only to see her all curled up just two inches away, the blanket nowhere to be seen and her scandalous curves pretty much all for me to stare at with nothing but two pieces of thin layer of cloth merely pretending to cover her privates up.

’Fuck...’

My jaw clenched while my body froze.

What was supposed to be a nice, bright morning suddenly turned into a horror game.

’If she notices me looking...!’

Judging by the steady rhythm in which Selia’s chest moved up and down, she was still asleep, saving me from an immediate execution.

’Look away!’

Only after screaming at myself in my thoughts did I manage to peel my eyes up, opting to turn them towards the more wholesome part of her impossibly beautiful look, her face.

And by all means, this turned out to be a trap.

With her silvery hair scattered over her cheek, her peaceful, relaxed face was made even more adorable than usual. While not exactly chewing on her fingers, she brought them close enough to her lips to part them a bit, just far enough to reveal a hint of her white teeth.

’Just who made her so damn adorable...’

Inch by inch, my hand crept up to my heart, ready to clutch at it at any moment now...

Only for Selia to just open her eyes and instantly lock them with me.

All I saw was her lips curve up and a glint flash in her eyes before she shot up like a spring only to reach out with her arms, wrap them around my neck and then pull me right down to the bed.

’Wha...?!’

Just like I took her by surprise the night before, Selia now was the one rolling over me only to end up pinning me down to the bed.

This time, however, there was no blanket between us to keep me from seeing her body bend and compress in all sorts of extremely interesting ways.

"Wha...!"

By the time I managed to utter a small moan of surprise, Selia already reached out with her hand, pressing her forefinger against my lips to keep them shut.

"I’m no longer drunk, you know?" she stated right before she pushed her hips down, sitting directly above my lower abdomen as she rendered me fully immobile for all sorts of different reasons, chief one among them - her hands pinning my own forearms down to the bed.

Pinned down, with her plump hips grinding down against my lower waist and her bare stomach and barely covered chest now on full display, I could only watch in stunned silence as she leaned in with a playful smirk, bringing her face closer and closer to mine...

’Is she going for a...!!!’

At the very last moment, just as I was about to witness my lips being stolen first thing in the morning, Selia jerked her head up and ended up planting a gentle kiss over my forehead.

Then, her whole body softened a bit as she relaxed her arms and pulled herself back up, sitting back down on my lower abdomen while, once again, giving me one hell of a show of pretty much all of her bare skin.

"Consider this my apology for yesterday," she spoke in a soft, perfectly controlled and toned voice.

Yet, even now, she continued to shift her hips left and right, gently grinding down at the part of my body where more and more blood continued to rush down to gather. "I shouldn’t have tested you like that."

My mind froze yet again, just like all of my excitement.

Sure, I could hardly imagine a more exciting scenario than having this fairy-like beauty be all over me, pinning me down to bed and even kissing my forehead.

But to hear about some test that I’ve unknowingly passed?

Hearing it from Selia’s mouth was exactly what made it so damn scary. Yet, by all means, didn’t it mean... I’ve passed?

’So she wasn’t drunk?’ I thought, trying to make some damn sense out of my current situation.

Sure, this wasn’t my first time to get close to a woman. Not the first time I would get to see, touch or even take her body for myself. And yet?

Somehow, it was different.

Somehow, just having her sit down on over my critical part in nothing but a loincloth and a piece of thin cloth wrapped around the chest that barely even pretended to hide anything...

Unable to endure all those sights and then the sensation of something way too soft grinding down against the slowly raising hill over my crotch, I closed my eyes.

’So it was a test...’ I thought, stating what now was becoming increasingly obvious.

Apparently, all the doubts I had about Saintess’ ability to get drunk with so few cups of ale were all in order, and I’ve only ended up disregarding them by trusting what I saw more than what my mind advised me.

A typical, rookie mistake, yet one I’ve happily committed.

I opened up my eyes.

"While I appreciate the apology..." I started only to then clench my teeth, struggling to resist the desire to just reach out and grab onto that lovely indentation of Selia’s waist.

It... It just looked like if it was made for me to hold! Her skin was made to be gently caressed if not outright worshipped. And her curves...

Oh, her curves!

While modest in size, they had just this perfect shape that could drive any man insane, a perfect ratio of youthful firm springiness and the mature softness.

"Please, be mindful of how awkward it’s going to be for me to get out from the bed now!"
