'What?' Kai thought as his eyes went wide.
He looked down at Silvia, who was watching him closely, and then he looked back at Sheila and the group of innocent little witches.
He could not just start making out with a sexy vampire right in front of an audience, especially not in front of the kids.
"You guys can wait outside," Kai said quickly, trying his best to keep his voice completely steady.
"I have a special skill to track her movements and lock her loyalty down, but I need a minute alone to cast it."
He prayed in his mind that they would not ask any more questions about his fake tracking skill.
Sheila looked at him suspiciously.
She clearly knew he was hiding something weird, but she also saw that Damian was dead and the kids were safe, so she decided to let it slide for now.
"Very well," Sheila said as she turned around, her blue robe swishing around her legs.
"Come along, younglings. Let us leave this filthy place."
She led the group of kids out of the dark factory, leaving Kai entirely alone with the kneeling mini-boss.
Kai let out a huge breath of relief once the heavy doors closed behind them.
He turned around and kneeled down on the floor right in front of Silvia and looked deeply into her glowing red eyes, and he really did not know if she was feeling grateful that he just saved her life, or angry that he drained her mana earlier, or just purely turned on by the whole situation.
But he did not really care as long as he got his reward.
Kai reached his hand out, grabbed the back of her neck gently but firmly, and pulled her right into a deep kiss.
Her lips were soft and surprisingly warm.
Silvia did not fight him at all. Instead, she let out a quiet moan and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling his body flush against hers.
She opened her mouth to let him in, tasting sweet and dark, exactly like the magic he drank from her earlier.
Kai slid his other hand down to her waist, feeling the smooth fabric of her dress as he deepened the kiss.
The system was definitely working its magic again, sending hot waves of pleasure straight to his brain as they kept kissing on the dirty factory floor.
Kai shifted his weight and kneeled down completely so he was right on her level.
He decided to fully commit to the bonding process. His hands slowly slid up from her waist and gently caressed her big breasts through the dress.
She was definitely not leaving him anytime soon. Silvia practically climbed into his lap as they kept making out.
Then she pulled her face back just an inch.
She broke the kiss for a quick second so she could catch her breath.
"You taste way better in your mouth than on your neck," she whispered with a highly satisfied smirk.
And then she smashed her lips right back against his, kissing him even harder than before.
Kai felt like his gamer brain was melting again.
The eroge game mechanics were working overtime to make this whole interaction feel amazing.
Silvia shifted her body closer, rubbing her thighs against his knees.
Then her hands slowly reached down.
She boldly grabbed the metal tab of his jeans and started to open his zipper right there on the dirty concrete.
He was totally ready to let her finish the job.
But right before things got completely out of hand, a blue screen flashed right in front of his eyes.
Ding!
[Congratulations.]
[Bond has been successfully formed.]
[Silvia will now be loyal to you. In any way does she try to fail you, her soul will vanish.]
'Holy shit, this system is a god,' Kai thought as he read the brutal penalty box.
A four-hundred-year freezing penalty from the Ice Witch was scary. But completely deleting a soul was next level boss behavior.
The developers really did not mess around with the loyalty mechanics.
Kai quickly pulled back from the kiss.
He reached down, moved her wandering hand away from his crotch, and quickly zipped his pants back up.
Silvia looked totally surprised by the sudden rejection.
She sat back on her heels and pouted at him.
"Wait, come back," she whined.
She reached her hands out and tried to pull him close again.
"We were just getting to the good part."
Kai stood up and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
He looked down at the thirsty goth vampire still sitting on the floor and thought how he have total control now, and he needed to play this smart if he wanted to keep both her and Sheila happy.
"You want everything faster, don't you?" Kai said with a knowing smirk.
He crossed his arms and looked at her glowing red eyes.
"So here is the new rule," Kai explained like a guild leader handing out a quest.
"From now on, every time you complete a task efficiently, I will reward you accordingly."
Silvia blinked. She looked at his lips and then down at his pants.
"A reward?"
"Exactly," Kai nodded.
"You do exactly what I say, you help me gather information, and you stay out of Sheila's way. If you do a good job, you get to finish what you just started. Understood?"
She slowly stood up and smoothed out her black dress.
"I understand perfectly," she replied with a grin.
'Oh man,' Kai smiled to himself.
'I am going to love this game.'
