Mythran's Master Of All

Ren had been right, and it took a long time for them to adjust to the new time compression. They had to keep opening the front door to suspend the Sanctuary effect, almost like a decompression chamber, and eventually they became accustomed and shut the door for almost an hour.

The time compression that was in Lara's closet and the pocket realms, which was 13.75 years per day, was quadrupled inside the enhanced Sanctuary, or 55 years per day. When the door opened and Ren, Lara, and Artemis stepped out holding hands, thanks to Teepo and his knack for keeping track of time, it had only been 53 minutes since they had left; but, that meant they had spent an entire 2 years together in the house.

“Oh, wow.” Lara said and looked around. “I'd almost forgotten what this place was like.”

“Me, too.” Ren said and let Lara's and Artemis' hands go. “Teepo, thanks for reminding us when we needed to leave.”

“You guys would have just stayed in your self-made paradise if I hadn't.” Teepo chittered in laughter from Ren's shoulder.

“Oh, you.” Lara said and reached out to scratch Teepo's carapace. Her eyes went blank for a moment while Teepo chittered in pleasure, then she smiled. “Make sure Ren doesn't forget about Jennifer.”

“I'm standing right here.” Ren chuckled and took Lara into his arms. “I'll be her white knight, just like we agreed.”

“You are too good to be true, beloved.” Lara said and kissed him passionately.

“I'm sorry to break this up, but the maids are going to be awake soon.” Teepo said.

Lara broke the kiss and stroked Ren's face tenderly with her hand. “Thank you for proving that my first vision of us together could be changed.”

“You left off 'for the better'.” Ren smiled and kissed her hand.

“Did I?” Lara joked.

Quick as a flash Ren used his fingers and tickled her sensitive and ticklish spots all over her body.

“GAH!” Lara yelped and tried to block him, then she laughed uncontrollably when her efforts were fruitless.

“For the better, right?” Ren asked, and she managed to nod her head. He relented in his attack, and she calmed down.

“I really shouldn't let you do that.” Lara said when she caught her breath.

“You can't help yourself.” Ren said and smiled. “I'm just too cute to say no to.”

Lara snorted a laugh. “I should tell you that you are so full of yourself...” She ran a hand through his hair. “...except what you said is true.” She stepped back and partially turned away. “Make sure you watch me as I walk away.”

“Like I'm in a trance.” Ren said and grinned at her. “Nothing could tear my eyes away from you right now.”

Lara smiled sweetly and equipped her leather jacket as she walked towards the Library, and Ren watched her cute little ass saunter away in the tight jeans he had made for her.

“What a sight.” Artemis said.

Ren nodded as he felt Artemis' appreciation for seeing Lara's hips sway like that, and it matched his own appreciation for the sight. When Lara disappeared around the corner of the building, Ren turned and looked at Artemis. She wore jeans and leather jacket that were almost the same as the outfit Lara wore. Her normal-looking skin glistened in the sunlight while her free-flowing metal hair was now a deep amber color.

“It's really weird that you don't block your emotions from me anymore.” Ren said.

Artemis rolled her eyes. “You've been saying that for a year now.”

Ren chuckled and motioned ahead of himself, and they started to walk up the road to the Main House. “I still haven't kissed you, either.”

“You know, you didn't actually promise Rosie that you wouldn't.” Artemis reminded him.

Ren laughed. “You've been saying that for almost a year.”

Artemis laughed, too. Now that he had a spare moment, Ren took a look at his status.

Show Status. Ren thought, and the popup appeared.
