The Innocent Mage's Spellbinding Nights - Chapter 17
“Ugh, why is this happening to me?”
She was fully awake now. As her consciousness sharpened, the heat within her surged even more. It felt as agonizing as wandering through a scorching desert with an unbearably dry throat.
‘Having s-x definitely had a calming effect. Could it be that one night wasn’t enough?’
There were rare cases of aphrodisiacs that induced long-term arousal. If what she accidentally created was one of those kinds…
“What should I do?”
Would she have to suffer this arousal every night?
‘What happens if I try to ignore it and endure it? Will I lose my mind and start seeking men?’
Just the thought was horrifying. Irina’s shoulders trembled in panic. Even more terrifying was that amidst her fear, the desire to have her brxxsts and v***a sucked by someone was surging within her.
Tears welled up in her eyes. As a tear trickled down her cheek, a thought crossed her mind.
‘Though it should never happen, if you ever experience such side effects again from experimenting with new potions, come to me. Don’t go looking for another guy.’
‘Hesed.’
‘I’ll also seek your help if I find myself in such a situation.’
Yes, Hesed was the safest man she could go to. He even had a kind side.
‘It’s shameless, but…’
He did leave the option open.
Wiping away her tears as if she had found an oasis, Irina got up from her bed.
***
‘…Too beautiful.’
How could someone so beautiful exist in such a dirty and ugly world?
Hesed, who woke up slightly earlier than Irina, or to be honest, hardly slept due to excitement, kept marveling at her sleeping figure.
A person whose mere presence made him happy. He still couldn’t believe that he had been intimate with such a person just a while ago.
‘I have no experience, but… I tried to do my best.’
He wondered if Irina was satisfied.
Of course, her secret place kept overflowing with her juices, and sweet moans continuously escaped her lips, but Hesed didn’t believe those reactions were because of his skill. Aphrodisiacs were dangerous substances that destroyed human reason and implanted animalistic desires.
‘Senior… No, Irina. Please, look at me as Hesed, not just as your junior.’
When they had breakfast after she came out of the bathroom, he thought the atmosphere wasn’t bad.
“I know you’re a much better man than I thought. But to me, you’re still a mischievous but kind junior.”
Despite having mixed bodies due to unexpected circumstances, she cruelly declared that she still couldn’t see him as a man.
Hesed had only one choice. To comply with her wish.
Anyway, if he resisted and pushed back, Irina would only distance herself further from him. If he wanted to keep watching over her closely like now, he had to respect that boundary.
“But Senior, I have one request.”
“What is it?”
“Though it should never happen, if you ever experience such side effects again from experimenting with new potions, come to me. Don’t go looking for another guy.”
Hesed, adding these words filled with lingering attachment, hurriedly escaped Irina’s sight.
No matter how shameless and sly his personality was, hearing from the woman he liked, ‘I’ll never see you as a man,’ couldn’t leave him unaffected.
What on earth was the problem?
Was his appearance far from her type? Or was it, as their eldest senior Scarlet said, his uncontrollable mouth in front of her?
Despite trying his best, hearing he wasn’t seen as a man drained his energy.
Hesed was gloomy all day. His assistant noticed how uncomfortable he was and found all sorts of excuses to leave the office frequently.
He felt like he could take on anyone in a fight right now. But causing a disturbance within the White Tower would inevitably reach Irina, who would be disappointed in him again, so he had no choice but to suffer internally.
‘Should I visit senior brother? A sparring session might improve my mood.’
Vine, being skilled not only in magic but also in swordsmanship and martial arts, was an enjoyable opponent to fight.
Hesed postponed all non-urgent documents and went to find Vine, who was training alone in the middle of the desert.
*
A place where nothing but sand could be seen.
Sand was a peculiar substance. While each grain had negligible presence, together, they could exert immense power like a giant tidal wave. Moreover, due to its fluidity, it was hard for any attack to leave lasting marks here.
Hence, it was chosen as Vine’s training ground.
Under the blazing sun, Vine, meditating with his eyes closed, noticed Hesed approaching and opened his eyes.
“How’s the training going?”
Hesed asked in a somewhat nonchalant manner, unlike how he behaved in front of other magicians and Irina.
But Vine didn’t mind much. Along with Scarlet, he knew very well that their junior Hesed had a rather nasty personality.
“What brings you here?”
“Just wanted to see you.”
“Bullshxt. You got scolded by Irina and ran away, didn’t you?”
