ROSES HAVE THORNS-Chapter 53 - Dark Feelings

Tweet Tweet Tweet

Rays of the morning sun shone through the cave, signaling that it was a new day.

Inside the cave was what could only be described as an absolute pigsty. Loose clothes were scattered all over the place, the ground was stained everywhere in dried up fluids with the walls being no exception. And lying at the center of this cave were the two culprits responsible for this mess, sleeping peacefully after a long night of heated and passionate sex.

Kurt lightly opened his eye at the sound of birds tweeting in the background and what greeted him was indeed a sight to behold.

Diana laid on top of him with her face buried in his neck and arms wrapped around his head. The only thing that was covering her was her red blazer sprawled across her back; other than that, she was completely naked and covered in love bites.

When he looked over her shoulder, he saw two wonderful pairs of full moons just waiting to be grabbed.

’Hehe– No Kurt! Don’t grab them. If you do, you’ll not only wake sleeping beauty up, but you’ll also awaken your holy sword. So just calm your mind and think happy thoughts...’

*Squeeze~*

’Goddammit!’

"Mmnnn~ zzzzzz..."

’Okay! Still good.... Huh? For some reason I can’t seem to let go of her??’

Kurt looked down at his hands to see what was going on only to find out that nothing was keeping him from letting go.

’Oh, so that’s how it is. The mind says one thing, but the body wants another. No matter how I spin it, I can’t deny that after last night I definitely became an ass guy. I guess I could go for one little squeeze.’

After checking one more time if Diana was still asleep and seeing that the coast was clear, he closed his eye and focused all his senses on his hands.

*Squish~*

’So soooft~ Just one more squeeze then I’m done.’

*Squishy squish*

’This is so fun! Hehehehe~ *Gasp* Stop it! Focus Kurt... but maybe just one more...’

When he opened his eye, he noticed that Diana was looking right at him with a blush and smile on her face.

"Morning Rosie~"

"Good morning, Diana..."

"What’s wrong? Why’d you stop? You were having so much fun."

"What makes you say that?"

"Oh I don’t know~ Maybe it was because you were giggling to yourself. It’s so cute when you do that without even knowing."

"I see. I have been told by others that I tend to do that." Kurt slowly let go of her heavenly peaches.

"Now hold on~ There’s no need to let go. Don’t you want to take care of that little, or rather big, problem you caused for yourself?"

"Big problem? Oh, that..." Kurt looked down to see that the curse of morning wood plus having a beautiful and naked woman lying on top of him while squeezing her ass has doubly angered his raging boner.

"It will go away overtime. There’s no need."

"Hmmm... I don’t think it will. There’s no need to be shy about it, especially around me. Hehehe here, I’ll even help you settle it down~" Diana purred in his ear and slowly slid down his body.

"Wait Diana. Don’t you think it’s a bit early to be doing this–"

*Schlurp*

"Ah~"

.......

-One hour later-

Kurt and Diana were walking hand in hand along the beach while looking for anything to eat.

"Wouldn’t the probability of us finding food be higher if we looked in the jungle?" Kurt asked her.

"Yes, but I’m not really that hungry. Are you?"

"I mean, I only suggested that we look for something to eat since breakfast is the most important part of the day."

"So, you’re not hungry?"

"Not really."

"Good. Then let’s keep walking."

"Alright... By the way, how’s your mana or magic or whatever. How’s it doing?"

"Don’t know. And I don’t really want to find out."

"Why?"

Diana turned her head away from him and mumbled to herself, "Because I want to spend more time with you..."

"What’d you say?"

"Nothing." She pouted.

’Heh. I heard you loud and clear.’ Kurt thought while watching her act pouty.

"C’mon Diana. It’s important that we return. I need to report back to Dominik and Emelie so we can figure out what we’re going to do next, and I’m guessing you got your hands full with preparing for the tournament."

"Emelie?" She squeezed his hand tighter and looked at him with dead eyes. "By the way, you still didn’t tell me about why you were meeting with her in such a secluded space. Also, about why she was so happy that she held your hands and was jumping for joy."

’Oh my, it’s that look again~ Wait... am I getting turned on?’

"Rosie?"

"Sorry it’s just, when you look at me like that I..."

"You what?" She brought her head in closer to his face and stared at him with the look of a thousand deaths. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"A-Anyway! The reason I met up with Emelie is because she possesses knowledge that could save me and Dominik a ton of time. We had to go to a private place because it was a serious topic and the kids at the dorm were making a fuss."

"You still didn’t tell me why she was so happy... that she held hands... with you."

"I’m sorry Diana but I can’t tell you about that since it’s very private. If you really want to know then you’ll have to ask her directly."

"Rosieeee..." She squeezed his hand even tighter to the point that it felt like he was being crushed.

"But! What I can say is that there’s nothing romantic going on! Even if you weren’t in the picture I still wouldn’t chase after her. Heck, I wouldn’t chase after anyone!"

After getting a good long look at him, her eyes went back to their natural crimson colour and she kissed him on his cheek.

"Sorry if I felt like I was pressuring you into saying something that you shouldn’t. While I was fighting both of you, I had a feeling that I was misunderstanding something but... this dark feeling in my chest felt like it was consuming me the more I saw you two together."

’Dark feeling?’

"And it surfaced again when you said her name just now. It’s strange, normally I’m always in control of myself but when it comes to you it feels like my emotional dial is either cranked up all the way to maxed out love or... it’s at an all-time low. When it gets that low, that dark feeling bottles out."

’Should I be more afraid of her maxed-out love or that dark feeling? For some reason I feel like they’re both dangerous. But that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things because...’

"Don’t worry." Kurt squeezed her hand back. "I’ll love you always. Whether it’s your highest or lowest. If there’s something that’s bothering you, don’t be scared to tell me. And in return if there’s something bothering me, I won’t hesitate to let you know. We’re partners for life, aren’t we?"

"Mmhm~" She nodded at him. "By the way what if you see some random guy try to flirt with me–"

"I’ll kill him."

Diana felt a shiver crawl through her spine when she watched the life leave his eye and his whole demeanour changed. For some reason seeing Kurt act like this is making her... excited.

"How dare some lowlife nobody try to take what’s mine." He blankly looked off into the distance and went on monologue. "Even though she’s mine they still want to try and take her... They want to take her away from me? Why?? Just when I’ve finally understood the meaning of love all of a sudden these pests want to steal her from me? Wait... steal? Stealing is considered evil, isn’t it? Yes, it is. That means I could... Heh. Hehehehe."

Kurt suddenly felt a gentle hand touch his face which snapped him out of his spiraling state.

"Looks like I’m not the only one with such feelings locked inside." She smiled as she caressed his cheek.

"Heh, I guess not."

Both of their eyes turned possessively dark as they looked at each other. Right there in that moment, a simple and unspoken vow was made between them. ’Do not betray me’.

"You can stop staring at me now, Rosie~"

"Really? And here I thought you liked it."

"Of course I do~ But that’s only when we’re alone."

"Aww. Don’t tell me you’re shy when it comes to showing your affection around others?"

"I prefer to keep my intimate moments more private. I especially hate it when filthy monsters are watching."

Diana reached for the red gem on her chest and imbued it with mana.

"You’ve recovered?"

"Just enough to summon Bloody Tears."

"Bloody Tears?"

A crimson light illuminated the area as Diana pulled out her nodachi from the gem. The length of the sword was nearly the size of her own body, and when its intimidating red hue pulsed, it almost made it seem like it was alive.

’Now that I’m looking closer at it, I can say with 100% certainty that Diana was going easy on us, and I still nearly died.’

Before the creature in the bushes could react, Diana swiftly jumped towards them and swinged her blade in one clean arc.

"GEGE?! GRAAGH–"

SHING!

GUSSSHHH!

The force of her swing and sharpness of her blade did not only cut the bushes and 5 goblins in half but also anything within the next 50 meters.

"Haaa... These monsters are getting really annoying. Come Rosie, we still have time before my mana is fully restored. Let’s go goblin slaying~"
