“Don’t go… please…”
I hugged Athena tighter so she couldn’t move.
“….”
It was so foreign and terrifying to see her with a cold expression, especially since she always gave me a kind smile.
“You said you loved me… why do you want to leave…?”
As I pleaded with Athena, she turned around to respond.
“Hera, that’s only a story from when you were my slave.”
She loosened my arms that wrapped around her and took a step back.
“I’ll ask again. Do you think of me as your master?”
Master. Athena as my master.
It felt like something inside me was screaming.
Did I forget what she did to me? The awful pain I endured.
Saying goodbye to my beloved Lily and Dania.
It was all her fault.
And yet, would I really follow her so purely?
But somewhere deep down, there was a voice saying to accept her as soon as possible.
Saying that if I was in her embrace, I could be happy for a lifetime, it was tempting my lonely heart.
‘I don’t know.’
But if I didn’t give her an answer, it felt like she would leave immediately, so I hurriedly replied.
“Can you… give me a little time?”
“…..”
“I… it’s not that I dislike you… just a little bit more…”
Saying that I’d like to postpone my answer. In a way, I was being selfish.
But unable to make a clear decision, I could only respond like this.
Hoping Athena would understand my feelings, I gently took her hand in mine.
As I looked at her with a desperate heart, she seemed to shudder as if she was holding something back.
And then, she sighed heavily.
“Haah… okay. I understand.”
Then she smiled at me again.
Her gentle smile returning calmed my heart once more.
“Thank you…”
“I said it’s not that I dislike you, right?”
“Uh-huh…”
My feelings toward Athena were complex, but it seemed I didn’t dislike her.
If I truly disliked her, wouldn’t I have pushed her away?
I resented her, I hated her, but I hoped she loved me.
It was a feeling that I couldn’t quite put into words, but it seemed I didn’t genuinely hate her.
That said, I couldn’t exactly say I liked her either.
“Then let’s take it slow, one step at a time.”
“Huh..? What for..?”
“So you can slowly adapt to accepting me without any resistance.”
Athena gently caressed my cheek as she continued speaking.
“By acting like a good slave, someday your feelings will surely change.”
“Good… slave behavior?”
“Do you know what you should do as a slave?”
“…I don’t really know…”
What does it mean to act like a good slave?
From what I understood, a slave would smile if their master smiled and roll over if their master told them to.
Purely following commands like a devoted machine.
Was that what Athena expected from me?
But it was a bit different from my thoughts.
“Your job is simple. Just make your master happy.”
“Make my master happy…”
“You can act cute or show signs of submission.”
Athena then firmly grabbed my rear.
“Hyah?!”
Since the mark she left hadn’t faded, a sharp and tingling pain surged again.
She pulled me in close and whispered into my ear.
“Just so you know, your master loves affection.”
Her direct demand for affection made my face flush instantly.
‘She definitely seems to love skinship…’
She always touched me whenever she got the chance.
Seeing both Lily and Athena behave that way, I could feel the common sense in this world was quite different.
Of course, thanks to Lily’s training, I had gotten used to it to some extent…
But initiating it myself was still unfamiliar.
I always received rather than giving.
And acting cute or endearing, I felt like I could never muster the courage for that.
But as if reading my thoughts, she hammered into my chest.
“A slave who can’t do that… might not be needed.”
“Ugh…”
“Hera, I was considering you. If you can’t do even this, that would be really troublesome.”
“Alright… I get it.”
I was aware.
That she took a step back for me.
Saying that she wouldn’t push me to accept her as my master right away and would be patient.
If I refused that kindness as well, I could no longer expect her affection.
No way.
Right now, all I had was her.
If she would just look at me, that would be enough.
An expression of affection. She wanted a sign of submission.
If that’s what Athena desired…
Something suddenly popped into my mind.
‘…I can do it.’
Resolutely, I took her palm in both of my hands.
Athena quietly watched me.
I gently placed her hand on my cheek.
“Hah.”
“What..!”
I took her finger and put it in my mouth.
“Chuu- Chook..”
Then, like I was cleaning, I diligently sucked on her finger.
A flush of embarrassment and shyness overwhelmed me, making my face feel like it was on fire.
I was sure my face was bright red right now.
But I squeezed my eyes shut and gave it my all as I tasted her finger.
Chook- Chuu-
Once her finger was drenched in my saliva, I gently bit the tip before pulling it slowly out.
As I opened my eyes, I saw her wide eyes shaking violently.
Her face seemed a bit red too.
‘Did… she dislike it..?’
“You… where did you learn this?”
Her expression was a mix of surprise I had never seen before.
“Don’t tell me… that kid taught you to do this?”
“Kid…? You mean Lily..?”
“Tell me, Hera. Did you do this with her too?”
Her fiery gaze felt like it was commanding me to respond immediately.
Feeling intimidated by her expression, I opened my mouth with a trembling voice.
“N-No… this is… my first time trying…”
“First time…? Is this really your first skill?”
Her expression seemed more incredulous than anything.
“W-Was it… terrible..?”
“No… ha…”
She was fanning herself as if feeling a bit hot.
After staring at me quietly for a moment, she finally said,
“…It felt good.”
She showed a positive reaction.
‘Thank goodness…’
Though it was a primal act I did instinctively for her affection,
I still thought she might dislike it.
Sucking on someone else’s finger implies acceptance, thus serving as a fitting expression of submission, or so I believed.
But that was only my perspective. It could be different for her.
Not knowing the extent of skinship allowed between women, I worried I had crossed a line.
However, seeing her response, it seemed like this was acceptable.
Receiving unexpected praise from her made me feel a little better.
As a small smile appeared on my face, Athena stared at me blankly for a moment before grabbing my shoulders firmly with both hands.
“Hyah?”
“Hera. I swear. You can only do this with me. Got it?”
Her command not to do it with someone else.
I had no intention anyway.
Who else would I do this with if not Athena?
I only did it because I felt it would please her, but I couldn’t possibly do it with anyone else. If I did, I would probably die of embarrassment and shame.
When I didn’t respond immediately to her flustered words, she shook my shoulders back and forth vigorously.
“Ugh?”
“Hera. Promise me right now. It’s only for me.”
“Uh… okay… I promise.”
Only then did she finally let go of me.
“…Let’s sleep for now. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
With that, she hurriedly left the room.
“Uh… huh?”
I was suddenly left alone in the room.
The strange atmosphere that had just been there sank back into solitude.
“Couldn’t you stay a little longer…?”
The anxiety in my heart hadn’t completely vanished.
The loneliness and self-loathing I endured during the days she was gone still lingered within me.
‘It’s okay… she said she’d come back tomorrow…’
I quietly returned to my bed, forcing my already wide-open eyes to close and tried to drift off to sleep.
Hoping morning would come soon.
.
.
.
I hurriedly entered my room.
“Ha…”
Still not calm, my body felt hot.
Looking at my hand, I saw my fingers glistening with Hera’s saliva.
“It was my first time…”
When Hera first put my finger in her mouth, I was surprised.
The demand for affection had always come from me.
I thought the most she could do, being shy and introverted, was hold hands, hug tightly, or maybe muster the courage to kiss.
So, I tried to slowly break down her walls and encourage bolder actions.
But her sultry actions took me by surprise.
Every time my finger was sucked in, a tantalizing sensation flooded down below.
And every time her tongue licked my finger, I felt an urge to ravish her lips right away.
When she finally bit my finger, it nearly broke my reason.
Had she not stopped, I really didn’t know what would have happened.
Looking at her with a flushed face while she served me only made my blood rush.
‘…Such a vixen…’
Was Hera secretly a captivating fox in disguise?
It didn’t seem explainable any other way.
She claimed this was her first time.
With each word, she aroused desires, making her appear like a temptress born solely to seduce.
If I hadn’t been at my limit mentally, I might have jumped on her right then and there.
But the real problem was her intentions.
She had no thought of seducing me; she was simply expressing her affection.
A spontaneous act from her unconsciousness.
In some ways, that was the most dangerous part.
So I emphasized to her.
That such actions were only for me.
If her saliva happened to end up on another’s finger, I would have no choice but to cut that hand off, even if it was that of the Emperor.
“…I can’t calm down.”
Even as time passed, the heat on my body refused to subside.
In fact, it felt like it was stimulating me further.
Feeling dampness below, I slowly locked the door, unable to help myself.
Imagining a slave gazing at me with longing, I quietly sat on the bed.
So Athena enjoyed a long time alone with herself.
