Chapter 19: I nearly caved in [Slight R-18]

Kryonix bit her lip seductively as she moaned softly. Kryonix backed up and gave Tristan a dead-eyed stare before responding. "Don't stop now, please! I was on the verge of experiencing yet another tingling sensation."

'I had different expectations when she challenged me,' Tristan immediately acknowledged.

He wasn't going to let Kryonix down, though, especially because she had been such a wonderful fuck, up until this point and could somewhat match his stamina. Tristan took advantage of her vulnerability and thrust straight back in, picking up the pace considerably. Kryonix immediately let out an ecstatic scream as another intense orgasm shook her body.

This set off Tristan's climax shortly thereafter, shooting ropes of thick seed into Kryonix's fertile womb. Even after releasing so many fluids, Tristan's cock refused to soften, remaining engorged and ready for another round.

'What the hell are you thinking little guy?!' He chastised himself mentally. 'I'm pretty sure she'll be pregnant after this!'

But no matter what he said on the inside, nothing altered the outside. Kryonix just had another orgasm when Tristan started mercilessly fucking her again. She simply lay limply next to him, allowing him complete control over her body due to her overwhelming insatiable yearning.

Tristan kept thrusting, and within minutes Kryonix's pussy was wetter than ever. But for some reason, he didn't seem to care at all. If anything, the knowledge that Kryonix liked sex so highly as a result of his actions and that it might be their final interaction before he moved on to the next level thrilled him greatly. His enthusiasm was further stoked by that information.

As expected, Kryonix followed suit very soon afterward as well—she gripped tightly onto the sheets as she arched her neck forward and bit down on the pillow.

Tristan could feel the heat rising inside of him and knew he couldn't keep it in for much longer. He gave her one last thrust before exploding inside of her, his body shuddering with gratification.

He sighed contentedly and lowered his hands on the bed.

Afterward, as they basked in the after-coital glow, neither dared to speak. In the end, though, Tristan was able to lie next to Kryonix after she eventually rolled off of him. He clung strongly to her slender figure while breathing hard into her ear.

Following that, for a considerable amount of time, neither spoke, instead just staring ahead as they recovered while smiling softly at one another. Both of them quietly drifted off into slumberland, aware of how much sleep they both really needed given their current circumstances.

With her vision still foggy, Kryonix yawned. She could see a figure staring at her meticulously but there was something odd with the way its hands were stretched out towards her, as though contemplating their next move, there was something violent about the aura, and she kicked furiously out of reflex to avoid whatever danger might be lurking there. But as soon as she fully awakened, everything went back to being black, leaving her dazed for a few heartbeats. Only gradually did the light return to normal, revealing Tristan sitting next to her partially clothed in his pants. While his torso steadily rose and fell with shallow breaths, his arms lazily sat behind his head.

Kryonix had to force her eyelids open to see Tristan's fixed focus on the glass wall; it appeared as though he was trying to avoid her gaze.

'I nearly caved in once again! The pearl would have been lost, you fucking idiot!' Staring at his hands, Tristan berated himself. 'I would have killed Kryonix if she hadn't woken up when she did. Hahaha! Just how insane am I?'

Kryonix tilted her head, wondering why Tristan had a twisted smile plastered on his lips and was staring at his hands. She considered it for a moment and then decided to ask him straight out: "Why are your hands trembling with each passing second while staring at it?"

Tristan had no idea what was being asked of him, so it took him a while to comprehend it before he could say, coolly, "it's hard to explain. I'm just relieved that you got up when you should have."

Kryonix thought that response sounded suspicious based on the tone of speech. She persisted, then inquired as to whether it might be due to guilt.

Once more, Tristan hesitated for a moment before answering, "there's nothing that makes me feel guilty except on extremely rare occasions."

'In reality, I realized how stupid I would have been if I had killed you and failed the task.' Tristan grudgingly acknowledged in his subconscious.

He said indifferently, "you know, sometimes people do silly things under pressure or those they care about," in an effort to conceal his genuine feelings.

It didn't help that Tristan's claims were quite accurate that Kryonix found them amusing.

Hearing his comments briefly rendered him dumbfounded and in disbelief for a guy who had never shown emotion to anyone except those closest to him who was murdered before his very eyes during his childhood.

'Coming to think of it, I should have skinned them, tore out those precious organs, and sold them. For the new sneaker my older brother intended to purchase for me years ago, I might have received a little cash.' After the incident, Tristan sighed as he realized just how catastrophic his youth had been.

He couldn't remember the last time such a thought had occurred to him, and it just strengthened his resolve to avoid being overly attached to anyone for fear of being reminded of the piece of humanity that he had left behind to start a new life he had control over.

Kryonix then turned in his direction with a smile on her face as she crawled over to him on all fours. She kissed his shoulder blade and caressed his back while murmuring loving words into his ears as her breasts rubbed against his back. Tristan, though, tolerated her closeness rather than shoving her away. One reason was that he enjoyed the way her skin felt soft on his bare back.

Kryonix sighed and muttered, "thank you."

Out of surprise and embarrassment Tristan's body froze in place. He hadn't even considered that Kryonix may still wish to thank him, given the circumstances of their connection. As usual, he suppressed these kinds of feelings in order to prevent others from learning otherwise. And now that Kryonix had publicly thanked him, Tristan had a better understanding of what it was like to be appreciated.

Tristan cautiously turned around after feeling his back get wet with tears and saw Kryonix, whose countenance revealed her complete happiness. Tristan held Kryonix tightly against his chest as he instinctively placed a sturdy arm across her shoulders.

For some while, they didn't say anything, content to just be with each other.

She caressed her stomach, which for a moment shone brightly beneath the weak light that lit them both. Tristan questioned if his success was indicated by the sight. She gave a gentle head nod as if realizing what he was contemplating, which made him gaze at her stomach.

'Who knows which sort of child might be born?' He wondered idly in part. 'Would it resemble me or Kryonix? Will it take on my personality, if any? No, it's almost certain that her death at the hands of her child may be unavoidable if I exist in any form.' He was troubled by these inquiries, and no answers seemed to be arriving anytime soon. He only knew how much he wanted to see it someday, no matter how unlikely that seemed.

To think that he would become a father… he shook his head sadly realizing that he truly missed out on most aspects of human existence growing up alone and eventually becoming monstrous. 'I should end this before it becomes a hassle, I'll be helping her overcome a tragedy! Yes, that's it!'

He closed his eyes as he became aware that he was gradually slipping back into the murderous impulses he had been masking as being helpful to his victims. When he finally opened his eyes, he feigned a smile and said, "I'm sure you won't be lonely anymore. More time to bond because you won't have much left to guard." Tristan kissed her on the forehead and continued, "make sure you raise our child to be better, most definitely not like how I am!" while playfully ruffling her hair.

Kryonix's jaw dropped open in awe at what he said. "I'll try my best," she says, nodding. "Thank you for granting me this opportunity."

'Again with the thanks.' Tristan grimaced, but when he noticed her radiant smile, he forced a chuckle. Tristan quickly continued, "so... about that pearl," after suddenly realizing where they were.
