Jane jumped to the other side of the bed in surprise and glared at Rudy.
“What’s with this reaction?” Rudy asked.
“W-Wh-What are you doing on my bed?!” she yelled.
Rudy didn’t reply and looked at her twin mountains.
“…” Jane followed Rudy’s gaze and looked down to find herself naked. “…!”
“Why am I—” she stopped when she saw Rudy was naked too, and his snake waved her good morning upon looking.
“Why are you hard, and what happened—” She once again stopped on her words when she saw several bloodstains on the bedsheet.
“No way…” she placed her hand on her cave and pressed it to feel the aching pain.
“Did we…” she gulped down nervously and asked, “Did we do it?”
“You seriously don’t remember anything?” Rudy asked with a judging look, but he was hiding sadness and disappointment behind his face.
“I don’t… I came back from the party and then… I…” Jane’s face flushed as she recalled everything. She immediately covered her face with her hands and refused to look at Rudy’s face.
Rudy smirked from the corner of his lips and said, “From your reaction, it seems that you remembered everything.”
Jane peeked from the gap between her fingers and meekly asked, “I can’t believe we did that.”
“Did it feel good?”
“Of course not! I only did it to help you!” Jane retorted.
“Is that so?” Rudy grinned and uttered, “You were moaning quite loudly, though. You also kept begging me to keep my dick inside you and fuck your harder.”
“I only said that to make you feel good!”
“Oh?” Rudy pulled Jane close to him using telekinesis and sat her on his lap.
Jane tried to run away, but she was no match for Rudy.
“What are you doing?! You can’t do this to me! I am a princess!” she yelled while avoiding eye contact with Rudy.
“You see…” Rudy blew some hot air on Jane’s pointy ear and whispered, “I want to feel good again. So will you spread your legs for me?”
“No! Of course, no! That was only a one-time thing. Don’t get the wrong idea or think highly of…Yourself…”
Jane accidentally looked into Rudy’s eyes while retorting, and she couldn’t lie further.
She hugged him and buried and muttered, “It felt good.”
Rudy gently smiled at her and hugged her back, but Jane glared at him and said, “Don’t touch me.”
“Why?”
“You are not allowed to touch me.”
“Why?”
“Because that was a one-time thing, and it’s never going to happen again,” she said with a serious look on her face.
“Why?”
“I did that to help you.”
“Why?”
“Because it was my fault you are stuck in this world even though you wanted to leave,” she said in a low voice.
“Why?”
“Because… I didn’t want you to go…” she muttered meekly.
With every answer, Jane’s voice and face turned meek. She was weak against Rudy, and she had realized that. That’s why, she wanted to stay away from him; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to go back to her usual self.
“Why did you not want me to leave?” Rudy asked calmly.
“For Rias’ sake.”
“Did you seriously believe that?” Rudy said in a neutral tone.
Now that everything had settled, Rudy wanted Jane to realize her selfishness and feelings.
“What do you mean? As I said last night, Rias would have been sad if she found out you came to visit her but left. Why else would I stop you?” she asked Rudy with a confused look on her face.
“If you truly stopped me for Rias’s sake, why were you so desperate? Why did you want to drink my blood? Why did you want to kiss me?”
“T-That’s because it was the only way…” she stuttered and averted her gaze while replying.
SIGH!
Rudy shook her head at Jane in disbelief and said,” Jane.”
“…” Jane didn’t look at Rudy and still avoided making eye contact with him.
“Jane, look me in the eyes. I have something important to tell you,” he said in a demanding tone.
Jane reluctantly looked into Rudy’s eyes. Her face seemed like she was about to cry at any given second. It looked exactly the same as a guilty criminal would look at the judge to plead for forgiveness.
“I have the power to read minds,” Rudy uttered with a straight face.
“Hmm? What is that supposed to—”
Before Jane could finish what she was saying, Rudy interrupted her and said, “I can read people’s thoughts. And I have been reading or rather, hearing everything you thought after we shared senses in the chamber of the valley.”
“….” Jane’s mind stopped working, and she lost all her senses, including the ability to think.
“I also heard how you prefer to kiss me rather than suck my blood,” he added.
“…” Jane was unable to comprehend the situation, and even if she did, she had no idea how to handle everything.
Rudy exposed Jane’s deepest and darkest secrets without even revealing them. They both knew what he was talking about, and only one word was enough.
Rudy patiently waited for Jane to speak. And after waiting for a minute, she looked him in the eyes and asked, “So you were laughing inside at my silly thoughts and making fun of me.”
“I knew you would say that. And no, I didn’t do that. Why would I laugh or make fun of someone’s honest thoughts?” he wondered solemnly. “If it was me in your head, I would be thinking the same thing. There is nothing to be embarrassed about, believe me.”
Rudy said that to comfort Jane, but it backfired, and she got angry. She got off Rudy’s lap and started crying out loud.
“Why would you do that. I thought you were different from others. I thought I could be friends with you, but you turned out to be the same. What did I do to deserve this life? I try my best and do everything earnestly, without even wanting anything in return, so why can’t I be normal like others?!”
“…”
“I just want to be loved!” she bellowed.
Behind her haughty, meek, and cheeky personality, Jane was hiding the saddest moments of her life. She had sealed them all this time, but the seal broke loose, not because of Rudy but the overbearing pain she had been suffering for years.
