Fate To Fake: Loved by the Fallen; Fated to Kill the Divine

Essa hugged him?

There was a rush of cool air as she vanished..... Then, warmth. Her scent?

The sudden weight of her body against his spine, pressing close, soft curves moulding to him from behind.

Her arms wrapped tightly around his chest, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze.

Leo flinched as his eyes darted front and back with a confused expression.

"What are you… doing?" he asked as he looked back at her.

His voice was husky, edged with need and confusion as he twisted just enough to catch her silhouette under the hood.

Essa, who was under the hoodie, couldn't see her face, but her tone, "D-Don't misunderstand this… it's just to lift your spirit," she said as she hugged him even more… something round pressing on his back.

Her voice was trembling, almost shy, but her arms grew bolder—pulling him tighter, so tight that he could feel the full weight of her breasts flattening against his shoulder blades.

The softness there made him shiver, the sensation burning through his robe. Her breath was hot against his neck.

'Definitely lifting me but not the spirit you're talking about!!'

Leo screamed inwardly, with a slightly red face.

Still, he didn't move an inch.

'Master, what the hell are you trying to make me do?!!' Essa screamed inwardly.

'Of course, lifting his spirit, what else? Hug him tighter, he looks sad, and I don't fucking like it.'

The Master's voice in her mind was cold and commanding, with a strange, twisted affection?

The Master said with a cold tone.

Essa gritted her teeth. 'B-But this is obscene!! How could you use your champion like that!!'

Her breath hitched as she pressed even closer. She could feel the hardening muscle of his chest under her fingers, the tension in his arms as he tried not to react.

'I could use my champion however I want, and if you have anything to say… just swallow it!!'

The order struck deep.

Essa trembled, a flush creeping down her neck.

'Hug him tighter… and do as I say…'

Essa gritted her teeth before nodding as she did what her Master said.

Slowly, her hand wrapped around his abdomen as her legs moved to the front, landing over his thighs.

She slid forward, legs straddling his lap from behind. Her hands drifted lower, curling possessively around his stomach. Her thighs squeezed around him, pressing her hips forward so he could feel the exact shape of her against him.

Leo, for the first time, saw her legs… from the long hooded cloak, her legs were so pure that her boots slightly scraped on his leg.

He could literally see her upper thigh…His gaze flicked down, drawn helplessly to her bare thighs as they slipped from the shadows of her cloak.

Her boots nudged his calf, sliding, pressing... He swallowed!!

His face turned slightly hotter, "O-Oi…" he said, yet when she pressed her chest behind his back, his words gulped down.

Her breasts, so soft and full, pressed harder into his back, making it impossible for him to think.

Something was definitely rising.

Just then,

Her hooded head leaned over his back and listened to his heartbeat. "Why is your heart beating faster?"

Her lips brushed his neck, her breath a sweet, hot whisper. She pressed her ear to his back, her voice playful, almost mocking, but dripping with intent.

Leo gulped, "You do know the reason, right?"

"Hmm? I know? I am sure I don't know anything, though… was it something you know?" Her words turned like a pure snake trying to wither into his senses.

She feigned innocence, but every syllable was calculated, laced with wicked pleasure. She pressed closer, her lips ghosting along his ear, tongue flicking out to tease the lobe.

Something definitely wrong here!

"W-What the hell are you trying to do now?" Leo said as he wriggled to move, but her hands and legs tightly held him down.

He tried to twist away, but her grip was iron, thighs locking him in place.

Leo's body trembled with anticipation.

"Hmm… I wonder what~" Her words almost purred as she leaned in, her teeth grazing the soft flesh of his ear, biting just hard enough to make him shudder.

Leo flinched… Yup… it woke up!!!

His whole body jolted, the hard evidence of his arousal impossible to hide.

Leo smashed his hand on this rising pillar!

Thuck!

His hand shot down!!

"HMMFffff!!" Leo's eyes almost bulged out as if his lungs gasped out forcibly… He was not going to betray his girlfriends, not anymore!!

He would be the most loyal man the world had ever seen!!

His vow burned inside him, fierce as the fire she'd lit in his veins.

"Leo~" Essa whispered again as she muttered, "Now concentrate on breathing and leave everything to me~" she said as her hand slowly moved inside the robe, touching his bare, sweaty skin.

Her words melted into him, sweet and dark, promising things he could barely imagine. Her fingers slipped beneath the robe, gliding over his hot, slick skin, sending jolts of pleasure shooting through him.

!!!!

"T-That's enough!" Leo said, yet.... His voice cracked!

"It's just another training, Leo… Just concentrate on breathing~" She said, her hands rubbing slow circles around his belly button, teasing, coaxing his body to relax.

One hand slid upward, fingertips feathering over his trembling skin, while the other inched lower, hovering dangerously close to the edge of his waistband.

"Training? E-Essa, I know you're not the kind of woman who would touch me without permission but—NF!!"

Leo flinched violently as Essa's fingertip flicked his nipple, sending a bolt of sensation straight through his chest.

His face turned beet red, heat surging from his neck to his ears. He gasped, helpless, as her other hand dipped lower, sliding under his robe and into his.... underwear?

"THE FUCK—"

Before he could summon his mana or even form a coherent thought to escape her clutches, Essa... who just moments ago had him completely restrained—vanished without a trace.

Leo, shocked, "What the heck? Wasn't she here before?" as he looked for her, but there was no trace of her.

Leo blinked… confused, "Was that a fucking dream?"

That was his first thought, after all; something almost identical had happened before, and it was confirmed a dream by every logical sign.

This time, though, he was wide awake... he could feel every detail, the heat still lingering on his skin, his heart hammering against his chest.

But this one, he was still awake, unlike the last one.… He ran a shaky hand through his hair.

"Am I dreaming while sitting?" Leo muttered, lost and bewildered.

Was his lust so pent-up that he started to imagine every woman around him trying to assault him?

That's so fucked up!!

"But still… it was really vivid, like before… I am sure she was here… hmm."

Leo clenched his jaw. The feeling of her hands, her warmth, the way she'd looked at him, it was too real to be a dream. He felt both more turned on and more lost than he could ever remember.

"Should I ask her?"

How the hell could he even bring it up?

Hey, Essa, did you try to seduce me by touching my nipple and… dick?

The thought alone made Leo cringe.

He felt weird just imagining saying it out loud… no way!

There was absolutely no way he could ask that without sounding like a total pervert.

He clenched his head… "I think I am getting horny for no reason," he muttered, hating how true it felt.

He glanced down and saw… the tower standing proud beneath his robe. He sighed, frustrated,

"Something is wrong with my fucking body! Arrh!!"

Meanwhile, Essa, in the empty room on the second floor, crouched in the corner as her own darkness surrounded her.... her breath shuddered as she pulled her knees to her chest, hands shaking uncontrollably.

"What have I done? Oh god! What the hell have I done!" she whimpered, voice nearly a sob, cradling the hand that had touched something so obscene and dangerous.

Her whole body trembled, cheeks burning with shame.

'It's fine, it's fine… don't cry,' Her master's words echoed in her mind, that familiar coldness now oddly gentle, but she was definitely not going to listen to it again!!

'All because of you!! Now he thinks I'm a slut!!' She cried harder, the image of Leo's face.... horrified, stunned, so unexpected—burned into her mind.

She'd never seen him look at her that way, never imagined she could cross such a line.

This was worse than death!

'It's fine… Essa, don't cry, he wouldn't think of you like that… maybe a little crazy, but not vulgar,' Master said softly.

But,

'IT'S NOT HELPING ME!!' Essa shouted back, hot tears streaming down her cheeks as she pressed her forehead to the wall, wishing she could erase what just happened.

'Sigh… I just wanted him to cheer up!' The words echoed uselessly.

'Then do it by yourself!! Don't drag me into this!! Arrh!!' She clenched her head, fingers digging into her hair, shame and frustration boiling together.

'Now, how am I going to see him face to face… he will remember this forever! Arrh!!'

Her whole body trembled as she pictured Leo's shocked expression...

As she lamented her actions, just then—

"KYYYYAAAAA!!!"

A loud scream, sharp and panicked, echoed from the training room downstairs... Followed by,

"R-RAPHAEL, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!

DON'T FAINT!!!

LET ME EXPLAIN!!!!!!!!! FUCCCKKKK!!!!!!!"

Essa, who was crying, halted as she tilted her head, "What happened?" she whispered to herself, sniffling....

'...Being surrounded by women… sometimes it's a curse,' Her Master said in a wise, almost world-weary tone.

Essa wondered why.
