Infinite Mana In The Oasis

The morning after. 6.50 AM.

The sun was beginning to make its presence known in the sky. The night's chill was fading away. The warmth of morning rays was taking its place.

Eren was busy reading through a scroll by the window. He was in his sweatpants. His bare torso spelled masculine perfection with its defined cuts.

He was having a cup of hot beverage that was made from Red Fire Rubiaceae, which was a Rank 1 ingredient. It tasted bitter and stimulated the mana circuits. Most rankers call it red coffee.

Eren did not like to add any sweetener to his red coffee. The bitter taste was just right for him. He would just boil the Red Fire Rubiaceae beans in water before fixing himself a hot cup.

Eren had just taken another sip of his red coffee while reading the scroll in hand when he felt that someone had embraced him from behind. He smiled when he felt that hug before putting the cup on the window ledge.

"You could have let me know you have woken up, Reece. I would have poured you a hot cup as well."

Eren said to Reece before turning 180 in her embrace. She was wearing a loose-fitting red silk robe that kept her prominent feminine curves hidden beneath it.

And yet, Eren could still see their presence in his vision due to the last night's memories still fresh in his mind. His imagination was actively compensating for things that were wrapped underneath the red silk robe.

Reece placed her head on his chest and rested her palm over it, feeling his heartbeat. She found herself at peace listening to his heartbeats and feeling his presence so close around her.

"It's fine. I can just use yours."

After saying this and pinching his tummy, Reece lifted the cup placed on the ledge. She drank red coffee from Eren's mug before speaking further. The taste was too bitter for her. But she didn't mind.

"It tastes a lot better because it's yours."

Eren chuckled listening to Reece. He made her place the cup where it was before kissing her on her lips.

Eren took the scroll back into his storage. He then groped Reece's mushy buns from behind her while he smooched her to his heart's content. The couple was going to get engulfed in the flames of passion once again. They had kept the flame burning well past midnight.

Reece left her maidenhood behind yesterday. And she felt a lot different and emotional because of it. Thankfully, Eren had handled her first experience very well. He had made sure that the last night was a pleasurable experience for her.

Reece felt her butt getting the morning massage she didn't know her body was craving. She was getting in the mood again when the massage stopped. He broke the liplock with her before speaking up.

"Don't you have to go to the guild today? Captain Miranda would be waiting for you."

Eren said while running his fingers through Reece's hair. Last night was a memorable experience for him as well. He was now closer to Reece than he was previously. Unlike his previous experiences, he didn't feel like pulling away from this bond.

Reece sighed when she heard Eren's words. She scrunched her nose before answering his question with a question of her own.

"Don't tell me you are not coming. If I entered Gilahan, it would be a week before I'll see you again. It's your fault for making me addicted to you, Eren. You'd have to do something about it."

Reece said while pouting. Eren chuckled before pulling her cheeks with his hands. He reached for the cup and sipped the red coffee before adding more.

"Think of it this way. This is your chance to catch up with me. The days I'm not in Gilaahan are seven extra days you can put in more work than I do.

As far as I know you, you wouldn't like being left behind, would you?"

Eren said provocatively while smirking at Reece. He then brought the cup closer to her lips and made her drink some more red coffee. Reece eventually held the cup in both her hands, breaking her embrace.

Reece drank some more red coffee on her own and felt energized. Eren's words also started to have their intended effects on her. She looked at him angrily before tucking her hair behind her ears.

"Tch. I sometimes hate it when you become so level-headed."

Reece's fake anger was converted into a smile when she saw Eren come closer to her again and kiss her on her right cheek.

"What are you planning to do here anyway?"

Eren looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 7 AM. He needed to drive for a few hours to reach a special place.

p Mana quartz from the Bulal Blood's bounty and the reward he earned from competing at the kingdom level was almost consumed by Eren. They were spent faster than he earned them.

Eren couldn't rely on his earnings from Gilaahan completely. The underground fights provided a viable alternative source of income.

There was a fight scheduled for Eren today against Keith. The opponent was tough and the stakes were high. Since Eren wanted to keep Reece away from underground fights like these, he preferred not to say anything about her.

"Just some work that I had to do. Nothing too special."

Eren answered Reece before starting to knead her buns once again. He then paused a bit before whispering something in her ears with his warm breaths.

"You know, we could take a shower together. Would save us some time."

Said Eren, his intentions were clearer than ever. A quickie before they headed off on their separate ways. Reece couldn't help smiling when she heard Eren's proposal.

"Hehe. I'm all for saving time, Eren. And we'll also save water, you know."

Eren chuckled after listening to Reece's reply. He gripped her hand and walked towards the spacious bathroom Eren had in his new house. His response reached Reece's ears as she followed behind him.

"Let's care for the environment together."
