Florate just had to let the tears fall. She was right. Her quitting the match even though it was worth it would make her repeat the previous level. Her stats would be brought down and she would join the current level seven aspirants and train better to get to her original level although that would be when her mates must have graduated. That was the main reason why he had Lilith get him disqualified instead of just quitting. Also, she was right with the point that none of them would want that. As much as they wanted her to leave the match, having her become reduced by a level wouldn't be nice at all. So she did well by bearing the pain and he was so proud of her right now.
"But I did it right?" she continued. "I got a point at least, didn't I?"
"Although the sensei saved the results for later. As you both were injured but left for me, I can proudly say that my girlfriend was incredible. I am so proud of you, Rain." He kissed her hair again.
"I am so proud that you are mine."
At that moment, it seemed like her unsteadiness stopped and she became calm. She opened her eyes slowly and turned to face him with not so much ease as she still grunted a bit from pain while she turned. She looked directly into his green eyes. They always spoke warmth to her and she liked staring into them all the times they were together like this. Facing each other without speaking as their eyes told of the undying love they shared.
"I too," she finally spoke, "am very proud to be your girlfriend. I love you so much, Florate."
"I love you too, Rain." He pushed his face closer to hers and their lips locked in a very passionate kiss.
She used her fingers to trace his jawline while he kissed her still, with his own hands squeezing her breasts already. She let out soft moans of ecstasy still being cautious that they were still in the clinic but Florate didn't seem to care. He untied her gi swiftly and slid his hand inside to get a better feeling of her smooth soft breasts.
He squeezed them harder this time as he moved the kiss from her lips down to her jaw. Then traced it down her neck as he licked, sucked on it, giving her various love bites here and there before moving down to her clavicle. He trailed his tongue across it not skipping any part. He came down to her chest and then to her loosened gi.
He hesitated a bit and then came up and kissed her again before looking into her calm ocean blue eyes. She was breathing normally only that her heart was thumping so hard that he could feel its beats from their distance.
He could totally understand why it was so because this was actually the first time he was touching her this way. Normally, they would only kiss, cuddle, and peck each other but this time was different. He went on a totally different level which was very new to her but that doesn't mean she was not comfortable with it, she was only adjusting to it and he could tell that clearly.
"Do you want me to stop?" he asked calmly. Not as if he wanted to but only because he remembered she was still in pain from her injuries and he feared he might be causing her much pain.
"No, no," she quickly answered. "I am fine but this place seems too open for this." She rolled her eyes.
"Yes, of course." He was too carried away that he forgot they were in the clinic not in any of their rooms. He kissed her again, lightly this time before helping her get her gi back together. After that, he took his time to examine all the love bites he gave her on her neck. They were not very visible due to her dark skin but the pink tint it left kind of made it more beautiful and appealing to him. He kissed each and every one of them before finally pulling away from her.
"Am I supposed to be worried about those?"
He knew she was referring to the love bites. "I know they are not very visible but are they going to heal soon? You know I don't like having scars." She looked at him biting her lower lip consciously.
"Well, start liking them, baby, because I am going to keep renewing those bites every time we are together," he smirked.
"Every time?" she looked shocked.
"Yes, love. Every time." He remained calm.
"But why?" She did not seem to like the idea of getting bites on her neck every time they spent time together.
"Let's just say I want everyone in Omania to get it clearly in their heads that you are mine. Especially the stubborn ones."
"You are just being too dramatic, Florate," she smiled a bit. "No one in Triven or even on Omania would ever dispute the fact that we belong to each other. They would never dare to drag your rights over me. I am yours and yours alone, I promise." She smiled sweetly to him.
He loved it whenever she said that and he was going to help her keep to it. He was never going to let anyone else have her, especially not that Nexine. He thought of telling her of what happened earlier but believed it was unnecessary since he already handled the matter.
He looked at her most beautiful face again, down to her perfectly curved lips and was about to kiss them again before they heard a soft knock on the door.
"Come in," he said calmly even though he was interrupted by whoever it was. The door creaked and a tall beautiful nurse walked in with a warm smile on her fine face.
"Hi," she waved at both of them and they waved back.
"How are you feeling, Rain?" she asked with concern.
"Getting better, nurse." Rain returned her smile.
"Very good then," she nodded. "I also came to inform you," she turned to Florate, "that the girl you brought just earlier is awake in case you would like to speak to her."
"Girl?" Rain furrowed. "Who is that?"
"Alright, thank you, nurse." Florate decided to dismiss the nurse first before answering her questions.
"You are welcome." The nurse left quietly and closed the door behind her.
"Who is that, Florate?" Rain waited patiently for the nurse to leave and as soon as she did, she did not hesitate to ask her questions. "Who is the girl you brought to the clinic?"
"No one special, Rain, just one of the junior rangers that sprained her ankle during a combat. Luckily for her I was passing by so I offered to bring her to the clinic for treatment and at the same time come see you." He leaned on her again and kissed her forehead.
"Oh, okay." Rain was finally calm. "You should probably go see her then, maybe call her fellow level rangers to come help her out and all that, I would not like to share my man with any junior." She pouted her lips, making her look so cute that Florate felt like biting her lips at that moment.
"I will do just that, my love," he chuckled, holding himself back from biting her even though he wanted to so badly.
As he walked down the clinic's hallways, making his way to Lilith's ward, he thought about the lie he had just told Rain. Was it really necessary?' He pondered.
Earlier while he was still with her, he had given it a quick thought before speaking. If Rain should know of Lilith's current condition, she would even risk as much as leaving her own medications, sick bed, and her recovery just to go see her and he didn't want that. So he had to lie, he just had to. He believed in that way, he was protecting Rain and standing in for Lilith also….
