Not anymore, never again

Ah-

Ahh!

Warm-

No- burning!

Burning hot-

Sweat pouring- the intense aroma in the air- bewildering-

Yeah-

I was burning-

My whole body was on fire-

Particularly the lower area-

"That's it-" The words came out. "More- like that!" My voice, pleading almost-

Three boys on the floor- spent. One was questioning reality in the corner while-

The final one- refused to give up and keep on thrusting his hips on top of mine-

Bare body against the wall- barely standing-

Breath wild- heart even wilder- "Yeah- more- more!"

Every thrust- threw me in loops. Loops of an unscratchable itch-

Pleasure slowly building up- almost as though there was an infinite pit inside me, and every thrust filled that well up little by little- only making me want it more-

And more-

Eventually leading up to-

"AHHH!-" Legs quivering- breath slowing- I almost fell… mind going numb… yeah this-

This-

I couldn't escape-

I couldn't-

Bliss…

"Not yet!" The man grabbed me- shoved his tongue inside my mouth- and kept on pumping for a good minute- "Ah!" finishing up anyway.

He on the floor, me on top of him-

Still panting a bit. "That was quite fun…" I said.

Fun, it was.

"Yes… but-" He, the leader of the bunch grinned. "You didn't even tell me your name yet…."

A bit of stuff was coming out of me… and honestly- with all the sweat in the air-

It was a miracle I didn't gag-

Actually, the past me might have gagged even at the thought of being with a man-

I was innocent in a sense-

Not anymore.

"Elinalise."

I threw away everything-

Everything after that one night.

Yet-

I couldn't throw away my name. "Dragonroad."

I just couldn't.

'What am I even doing?'

I didn't know…

Was this really the only way? The right way?

I didn't know.

Grin widening. "Dorn, pleasure meeting you…" His gaze shifted to the ceiling… "You were real fun."

Mine too. "Likewise…"

Most of the five were amateurs. Just twice was enough to drain them.

But the leader, Dorn, went up to six rounds. And his technique wasn't half had either. "If you're looking for a party-" His eyes came back to me. "We're your-"

A lick of my lips. "Sorry, prefer going solo." With a shrug, I went to the corner; wiped. Dressed up, definitely in a showy manner; sensual. Picked up my things and- "Well then, rest well."

A laugh- no, burst of laughter. "Sure will. Another time maybe?"

"Sure." With a flying kiss, I came out of there…

Just outside though-

'Seriously… what am I doing?'

The way back to the guild was kind of bland.

Maybe it was because the sun had set-

Or maybe it was because the world lacked colors-

I didn't know.

But who cared.

Ring-

I went inside the guild- got my way around the place and turned in all the herbs for a good total of 56 large copper and some pocket change.

Definitely enough to finally afford a proper shower. Not only did I stank- I was also… kind of… a mess.

The money was enough to actually keep me fed for a good while- about two whole weeks.

Assuming I stayed here.

But-

I kind of didn't want to.

I'd done things.

Things I didn't feel great about. But at the same time, I hadn't done things.

Things, because I was powerless.

And honestly-

I didn't want to be powerless.

Not anymore- never again.

And so-

As the Adventurer name implied-

It was time to go on an adventure.

Where?

I didn't know.

What for?

I didn't know-

Actually-

Why not the cure of this damn curse?

Yeah!

That!

"Umm… Miss Elinalise?" The staff waved. "You okay?" a little concerned.

"Fine… I'll take one of those quests!" I said.

The fancy ones at the quest board- which required a lot of expertise and lots of traveling.

"They're reserved for A rank and above…"

Oh yeah, the whole ranking system.

Sigh.

And there weren't any top ranked adventurers in this town either.

So-

Well-

I guess it was time to move to a better town anyway.

But first-

A shower it was!
