- Arthur's POV -
' She's already showing signs of corruption.. '
Remembering what happened in the morning, he couldn't help but think about it.
Surely, he was the cause of such a result, from doing it every night with her and forcing a new type of pleasure to be engraved into her being.
When he woke up this morning without doing anything to her the last night, she was already showing such a reaction, to which he playfully asked her to do anything she wanted, to see what would happen.
And surely, he wasn't disappointed with it, the way she discovered his body, and how she forced herself to be able to take him in, there was no way he would be able to resist her in the future if she kept going on that road.
But then what ? He never intended to refuse a woman's advances, especially not one of his cards.
' She also showed a great reaction to the position and the spank.. '
Again, it was all things that he saw and enjoyed watching before, so of course, he wanted to try them with her and see her full reaction instead of her composed and expressionless face.
Her face blushing deep and her body not knowing how to react to it was really good to play with, he had to admit it.
' Well, that was a good morning, that's for sure. '
Yawning as he thought so, the woman he was thinking about, for once, wasn't by his side.
When he left her, unconscious and in the bed, the sun was already at it's zenith and the hunger was calling him, something he couldn't fight against, so grabbing his clothes, he prepared himself neatly, and was now heading downstairs.
Reaching the hall on the first floor, he immediately received a lot of stares, and a few girls along with the receptionists were blushing.
' ... Was she that loud ? '
In the middle of the act, there was no way for him to take into account such details as the more he played with Mariane's body, the more he enjoyed it and fell into depravation as well.
Ignoring the stares once he guessed the reason for them, he headed towards the receptionist who tried to gain back her composure.
" Good morning, sir. "
" Mhm, good morning. "
" What can I help you with ? "
Giving her back the greeting, although she was smiling in an awkward manner because of what happened upstairs, he wasn't, and so, he came down to get what he desired.
" Would it be possible to eat right away ? "
" Sure thing, I'll tell the cook right now. "
Though she tried to stay composed, she almost left the counter in hurried steps to reach the room behind her, and while she did so, a chatter could be heard from behind him.
There was a lot more people than when he came here last night, that's for sure, and the range of conversations diverged and converged into one topic.
From his skills in bed as a man, discussed by ladies mostly, from how much of a lucky bastard he was, this one by men, or how some could do better than him, trying to get the attentions of girls around... You guessed it, by men again.
In the end, though, it had nothing to do with him, while they were surely talking about him, he wouldn't answer them or join in just because he was asked to, that's for sure.
And after a few minutes of wait, listening to the annoying surroundings, it wasn't his plate that came up first, but someone who approached him.
It wasn't a man searching for a problem, so that was already that, but the small figure he saw and looked at, didn't even talked to him.
Instead, she just left a piece of paper on the counter, next to him, before she left with a red and flushed face.
The curiosity trying to get the bigger of him, he just glanced once at the paper, trying to guess what was on it, before ignoring it the next moment, as this time, it was the receptionist that came out from the back door.
" I'm sorry for the wait.. "
" It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. "
Taking the warm plates that he was handed, both of his hands were now taken, and even if he wanted, he couldn't grab the paper on the counter to open it and see it's content.
Maybe because he stared at it for a small moment, the receptionist also easily found out about the change in atmosphere and grabbed the paper, opening it with an exhausted sigh.
" If you're into girls, you can keep it. "
Talking with a smile, he decided to tease the mature receptionist, and from the light blush on her face, he guessed what was written on it.
Probably the number of one of the rooms here, or something similar.
" .. How unfunny... "
" Is that so. "
Leaving the scene with a chuckle and two plates in hand, he finally made his way back into the room he would spend the next few days at.
The first thing that welcomed him when he opened the door was the sight of the sturdy bed frame, on top of which was a mattress along with the beautiful wolf lady, sleeping soundly and with the cover on top of her body.
Thinking about the mess that would need to be cleaned at a later date, he just shrugged at that kind of problem and sat at the table.
That's right, just like the cabin he appeared first, the room itself wasn't just a bedroom, and while it had a desk like the first inn, there was no way to even compare the two of them.
It was a complete difference of quality, be it the wood used, or the carpenter that put a lot of work into those.
Well, it still couldn't be compared to the modern age though, so Arthur was just satisfied with it and nothing more, already used to the kind of luxury one would only see in front of their screens, and having spent thousands inside a single game to be the best a it, again, his wealth wasn't something to laugh at.
Eating slowly, he already satisfied his curiosity of looking around the last night and got an easy approval from Mariane, even if would have paid double the price for it.
' .. I wonder when she'll wake up ? '
Because they only did things during the night before and would end up sleeping together, waking up in the morning, he wanted to see how long a five star card would need to wake up from such an experience.
' Time to see if the creator lied about the resting time after a date... '
And even if she would really sleep for a full day, which was not probable, he would go and roam the streets of the city alone, but again, that wouldn't happen.
' .. Maybe I went too far as well. '
He really meant that thought.
After all, she was still a maiden just a few days ago, and while it was true that she was a beastfolk and was boasting great stats, it didn't changed the fact that he did it until she passed out.
' If I unsummoned her and summoned her again, would she be in a somewhat perfect state with her drowsiness taken away ? '
Still, he couldn't help but to think about a lot of things as he finished his meal.
But soon enough...
- Thud thud thud thud
Sounds of footsteps being heard from the corridor outside the room, Arthur got up from the chair, wondering who it could be at that time, especially as he wasn't waiting for any visitors.
- Knock knock
" Sir, someone asked to see you, do you wish to meet them downstairs ? "
Listening the voice of the receptionists that was coming from the behind the door, even if he knew who she was, he wasn't relaxed either as someone he probably didn't knew was coming to see him.
" Who's asking to see me ? "
Standing not far from the door, he responded in a calm voice, only to receive an information he didn't expected.
" It's lady Vivianne, she's one of the manager of the company, and she wishes to see the one that Marcus presented here. "
" I see, I'll be downstairs in a moment then. "
" I understand. "
Not waiting for her to leave, he headed towards the bed where the sleeping beauty rested.
" Inventory.. "
And with a simple word, he then took out one of the stamina potions inside of it, and by emptying the content inside of his mouth, his next move was to lean in and give a deep kiss to Mariane, one which served him to have her drink the liquid of the vial.
