'WELP! That was certainly something...' Dropping off Ally on the sofa, Jon stretched out his slightly tight shoulders and back using the door frame before he leaned over the sink to wash his hands. In the meanwhile, Ally found her way to Pethant's room and hacked into his computer before finding out where he is.
It turned out he is miles away along one of the many illuminated nights walking trails that goes out from the resort and loops around the mountain. That means only one thing.
Turning the setting for the living room lights to a warm color, she walked into the bathroom before wrapping her arms around Jon and pressing her body against his. There is always an overwhelming sense of warmth, security and satisfaction whenever she does this. And now, there is something else too.
'What...what are you doing?' Jon asked, looking up through the mirror and only just realizing that all of Ally's clothing was blown away in her prior fight with two of the Ten Fingers.
'I...I-am-taking-one-step-at-a-time...' Ally said, recalling Pethant's advice a few chapters ago.
'One step at...'
'I-really-really-like-you, Jon-Bo, the-Spectator, the-world's-strongest-cameraman...' Ally said gently and honestly as she buried her head into Jon's muscular back, recalling all of the confession scenes she saw from the various tv shows and anime she binged through, 'you-were-there-when-my-world-is-the-darkest, you-are-the-light-that-brightened-my-darkness, you-are-the-warmth-that-saved-me-the-cold...I-wanted-to-be-with-no-one-but-you, but...but...I-also-wanted-you-to-have-no-one-but-me...'
'And-I-know-that's-bad...'
She can feel Jon freeze up as the finger taps continued running down his body. Hugging the man in front ever tighter, bringing his body close to hers and her body close to his, Ally continued. She thought she would stumble, that she would struggle to speak, but when it's just the two of them...they just keep coming out.
'that's-why-I-wanted-to-fight-the-Two-Fingers...I-don't-want-them-to-have-you...but...but...I-am-sorry...What-am-I-even-saying, Jon...This-is-stupid-and-so-out-of-character...'
'No.' Jon shook his head, and he turned around to face Ally who's eyes are locked onto his, 'I don't know why I am worthy of your affection...but every time you call me your love, I feel happy, somehow. It's quite stupid, isn't it?'
'Besides you and Pethant, I just don't have anybody else. What is the point of being so strong, if you have to be alone in the process, right?'
Ally nodded as she looked up.
'I don't know how I can reciprocate your love, but I want you to know that I cherish it deeply. Thank you for thinking this highly of me, and I promise to always be there for you. Pethant too.'
'I-thought-this-chapter-is-just-the-two-of-us?!'
'...Anyway...I.....I....' Jon looked down, and he finally realized that Ally has been rubbing her body against his very own for some time now. He swallowed hard as the tip of Ally's chest scraps against his stomach, her legs wrapping and rubbing against his own, and one of her hands finding its way down Jon's back.
'Seeing-my-love-isn't-down-to-be-my-lover-yet...can-we-at-least-do-something-that-you-promised?' Ally said, now bursting into her cheeky smiles after hearing Jon's true feelings, 'one-step-at-a-time, right?'
'Fine...all you want is a massage, right?' Jon said, as Ally suddenly pulled her body away while grabbing onto Jon's wrist.
'After-a-full-body-wash!' Ally said with high spirits, 'you-have-to-wash-me-like-the-ecchi-show-girls!'
'But why would you even want that...' Jon said with a disappointing look, as Ally turned on the hot water tap before jumping in and gesturing for Jon to join him by padding the bathtub. However, he was too awkward to take off his clothes, and Ally straight-up ripped everything off for him.
'AH!!!' Being the proactive one, Ally got embarrassed first when she saw all of Jon for the first time, 'come-in-here, MY-LOVE!!!'
'Don't you dare tell Pethant about this!' Jon warned, fully unaware of Ally's true intentions now that she isn't spelling everything out for him.
'Oh-my-love...I-would-if-you-don't-hurry~'
Shutting the door behind him, Jon jumped into the bathtub with Ally. As the water level gradually rises up and tingles across the skins of the two, Jon felt parts of him relaxing while others hardened. Then, Ally grabbed onto his hand and brought it towards her chest.
'Start-washing-please...'
Growing more and more embarrassed with every passing second, Jon gently caressed his fingers around Ally's breasts before going around in circles and slowly washing off the layers of dirt and dust. All of Ally's damage and wounds sustained in battle had completely gone away, and all that remained is her unusually soft body.
It wasn't long before Jon was slowly losing control of himself, and he shifted awkwardly when Ally lets out a natural moan and leaned her head back onto his shoulders. Looking up to see Jon's piping red face, she lets out a satisfied chuckle.
'How-can-you-take-panty-shots-of-ladies-and-get-embarrassed-with-me...ah...ah~'
'I told you before...that was NOT the point of panty shots...'
Rolling to her side and then her tummy so Jon can continually run her hands throughout her body, she now lied dug her chin into Jon's stomach as she looked up. Then, she runs her hand towards Jon's crouch area before finally grabbing onto the control.
Jon's entire body stiffened, and his eyes obscured by the steam meant everything is now up to Ally's interpretation.
And she already knew which direction to take it.
'Don't-worry.....my-love.....' Ally said, rolling back slowly as her head also disappeared into the steam, where all that remained for Jon was an overwhelming stimulation, 'we-can-just-take-it-one-step-at-a-time....'
The rest of the night continued with Ally taking the majority of the initiatives. Despite Jon's awkward nature, he quickly learned what is really going on and simply decided to let it happen. Though never one to consider the routes of being an intimacy cameraman, he couldn't but think about the various shot compositions he could have done, weaving the camera through the intertwining bodies of lovers.
It may have been way too premature for him to truly look at Ally that way, but tonight, that was what the two of them both wanted.
With the final release of Jon's energy onto Ally's body, the bed that supported the two of them finally collapsed underneath their weight and let out a massive boom that echoed throughout the suite.
Fifteen seconds later, Pethant rushed into the room with worry only to see a sweaty Jon laying topless on the bed.
'Ah.....Master, training hard as always even this late at night...I need to do the same too...'
As he closed the door behind him, Ally resurfaced from underneath the duvet and scratched Jon on the chin.
'That's-was-fun....'
'Just how did you know how to do all of this...' Jon asked, and Ally popped open her phone, revealing the various resources that she has been browsing using Jon's network.
'Let's hope the C Institute's accounting department doesn't mind too much...'
'Let's-do-it-more!' Ally said, heating up her body and reaching her hand towards Jon's crotch, stimulating it with her playful taps and turning Jon on like a light switch.
'Shit.'
