Chapter 26: Relieving Accumulated Stress
I promised myself I’d make a move on her when we were drunk enough, but for some reason, I just can’t do it now.
Is it wrong? A lot.
I’m not the kind of guy who’d do that, but Darius Moonlight is, so why can’t I muster the courage to take this chance and just satisfy my desires once and for all?
Don’t tell me that, because of these past life memories, you wanna play the moralist and control yourself just because it goes against your previous incarnation’s principles?
Wake up, you’re Darius Moonlight, you’ve done way worse! You’ve stabbed people on the street, hit old ladies, even caused a ruckus in the Scorn just for fun!
Why hesitate now? Ravenna’s all snuggled up to you, you idiot! She’s even hugging you tight! You can kill all that pent-up longing from a stupid crush and hook up with her right here, right now!
But that’s wrong...
Wrong what? Only fools ignore an open door!
What a headache. I’m really not going for it, but if we stay this close, things could go south.
I try to pull away a little, see if I can unstick myself from her arms, but it’s not very effective. Ravenna is strong, so the chances of escaping this bed and avoiding the weird urge to just indulge are slim. At least she’s asleep.
I slowly pull her arms off me, then crawl out of bed. Phew, I’m free.
Maybe another bottle of wine to lift the mood? Nah, I really need some water, my throat’s raw from all that drinking. Why haven’t refrigerators been invented yet?
