Your Girlfriend Calls Me Daddy-Chapter 22 | The ROI On This Kiss Is Going To Be Complicated

Chapter 22: 22 | The ROI On This Kiss Is Going To Be Complicated

The energy flow hit a peak.

Her entire body went rigid.

And then the coil snapped.

"MMMPH!"

The orgasm tore through her like a tidal wave.

Her vision whited out.

Every nerve fired at once.

Pleasure so intense it bordered on pain crashed over her in rolling waves that refused to stop.

Her tail squeezed his leg hard enough to bruise.

Her fingers dug into his shoulders.

Her hips jerked forward involuntarily, seeking friction that wasn’t there.

Ahhh ahhh ahhh.

She couldn’t think.

Couldn’t breathe.

Could only feel the overwhelming sensation of her Essentia being pulled out while her body came harder than it ever had in her entire life.

The drain finally stopped.

Rome released her wrist.

The connection severed.

Mera collapsed against him, boneless and shaking.

Her legs refused to support her weight.

Her breathing came in ragged gasps against his chest.

Holy shit.

What the hell was that?

She felt empty.

Lighter than air.

Like someone had scooped out everything inside her and replaced it with warm honey.

Rome’s arm stayed around her waist.

The only thing keeping her upright.

Her phone lay on the floor where she’d dropped it.

Screen still lit with the photo she’d taken of his eyes.

Evidence.

I have evidence.

Her thoughts moved slowly.

Sluggish and disconnected like her brain was swimming through syrup.

She tilted her head up to look at him.

His eyes had returned to normal.

Grey and green.

No more circles.

No more glow.

But his expression had changed.

Sharper.

More focused.

He felt it too.

He had to.

"That was."

Her voice came out hoarse.

Wrecked.

She swallowed and tried again.

"That was way longer than lunch."

Rome’s mouth curved into something that wasn’t quite a smile.

"You told me to drain you."

Bastard.

She wanted to punch him.

Wanted to kiss him.

Wanted to do both at the same time and see what happened.

Instead she just leaned against his chest and tried to remember how breathing worked.

Her tail unwrapped from his leg slowly.

The contact broke and she immediately missed it.

What is wrong with me?

She’d never reacted like this to anyone.

Never felt this out of control.

Her rose toy was good but it didn’t make her legs stop working.

Didn’t make her moan like that.

Didn’t make her come so hard she forgot her own name.

This is a problem.

This is a massive problem.

Because now she knew what it felt like.

And she wanted more.

Way more.

She pushed away from him slightly.

Just enough to put space between their bodies.

Her legs wobbled but held.

Barely.

"Can you use them?"

The question came out clearer this time.

Rome frowned.

"Use what?"

"My gates. The whole point was to test if you copied my ability."

His expression shifted to something thoughtful.

He held up one hand and stared at his palm like it might have the answer written there.

Nothing happened.

Mera waited.

Still nothing.

Maybe I was wrong.

Maybe he just drains and that’s it.

Then the air in front of his hand rippled.

A circle materialized in front of his palm.

Small. Maybe the diameter of a quarter.

Amber light ringed the edges in that familiar glow she’d been seeing since she was three years old.

The center was dark. Empty. The space between places that only she was supposed to access.

Except it wasn’t just her anymore.

No.

No that’s not possible.

The disc wavered. Unstable. Like it couldn’t decide whether it wanted to exist or not.

Then it snapped out of existence entirely.

Rome turned his hand over. Flexed his fingers. Studied his palm like the answer might still be written there somewhere.

"I felt it," he said. "For maybe three seconds I knew exactly how to open one. Where to pull the energy from. How to shape it. And then it disappeared."

His voice carried the same confusion she was feeling.

Like he’d just touched something he wasn’t supposed to understand and somehow understood it anyway.

Mera tried to swallow and couldn’t.

Her throat was too dry.

Her brain too loud.

He copied my Essentia.

He actually copied it.

Not drained. Not borrowed.

Copied.

Like her ability was a file he’d downloaded through skin contact and an orgasm.

This is so much worse than I thought.

He looked at her.

"Apparently."

This changes everything.

She’d thought he was just a drain type.

Annoying but manageable.

If he could actually copy abilities through contact then he was something else entirely.

Something dangerous.

Something the NEA would classify as a national security threat the second they found out.

Her phone buzzed on the floor.

She picked it up and checked the screen.

A text from her dad.

Dad: How’s your day?

Perfect timing.

She typed back quickly.

Mera: Good. Made a friend. Classes are fine.

The reply came fast.

Dad: That’s my girl. Stay safe. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She pocketed the phone and looked at Rome.

He stood in the middle of her room looking unfairly composed for someone who’d just drained her dry and made her come without even touching her properly.

Unfair.

Completely unfair.

She crossed her arms.

"So. What now?"

Rome raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you just proved you have the most broken Essentia I’ve ever seen. And you made me." She gestured vaguely at herself. "You know. That. So what happens now?"

His expression didn’t change.

But something flickered in his eyes.

Interest.

Curiosity.

Maybe something else she couldn’t name.

"That depends on what you want to happen."

Dangerous question.

Dangerous answer.

She had sixty seconds to decide.

Play it safe and send him away.

Or take the risk and see where this went.

Her heart still pounded.

Her legs still felt weak.

And the memory of that drain burned through her entire body like a brand she’d never get rid of.

Fuck it.

She stepped closer.

"I want to know if it gets better."

Rome’s eyes darkened.

"Better how?"

She reached up and grabbed his collar.

Pulled him down until their faces were inches apart.

"Better like this."

Then she kissed him.
