Coral rubbed the sweat off her clammy hands with the sheets of the flat mattress for the fifth time. Her nerves create small shivers from the thought of experiencing something, not only physical, but new. Feeling so wet from the sweat constantly dripping down her face to the tingle of anticipation in between her thighs.

After that word with Ǝna, talking about the idea of a moment of ecstasy and the knowledge of one another’s experiences of it, led to the agreement of consent to copulate. Really it was Coral’s idea, though the topic of conversation to begin with really happened all on its own.

Coral tries to calm herself down, waiting patiently while Ǝna still stands and paces in circles around their shared room. Seeming to be lost in thought.

Her expression was rather… troubled. Her mouth would switch side to side on the different halves of her face with a constant frown that didn't look sad or upset, but definitely not happy either. It was fascinating but also mildly concerning with no clue on why she appears so conflicted.

Though she remembered their talk from the other night. Of Ǝna’s past experience of her very few sexual encounters that were strictly out of service. For the race of ENA having lower status and have been since whatever created these worlds, dimensions, and the entities that live within them, their act of service didn't have limitations. They could do a task no matter how much dirt would get on their reputation, or even getting themselves or other entities destroyed. Yet they never choose to fix it, for it is expected for them to do a task almost perfectly without an opinion or protest of their own to speak of.

It made Coral feel sick to think about what it'd be like to be in Ǝna’s shoe and boot. Unsure whether to cry for her or go out there and tear out the heart cores of whoever would objectify Ǝna in such a way.

So this is the first time that intercourse is being done as an act of genuine connection rather than a chore to give an entity pleasure while excluding her own. A transaction where she actually gets benefited and acknowledged. And Ǝna definitely looked unsure on how to feel about it.

“Ena?..” Coral Glasses finally decided to speak with a volume close to a murmur. Making Ǝna stop in her tracks and look at Coral almost immediately.

“괜찮아?”(Are you alright?) She only stared at her for a few seconds before her usual salesperson smile appeared as if nothing was wrong. “Why, I'm feeling quite delighted! My mind is simply.. stuck in an inconvenient circuit.” Her smile falters a little with her voice becoming something hesitant.

Ǝna never truly found her liking with intimate events. Although, there were times when she found interest in the concept of sharing it with an entity she feels an honest, emotional, and intelligent connection with. Though still, at the same time, she's hesitant on letting herself actually indulge in pleasantries for her own regard. Struggling with certainty if this is truly making herself worthy if she's gratified. As if there was some God or Genie looking down upon her, judging her for daring to express and feel happiness as if it were another remorseful, unforgivable sin. 

It leaves her so confused and in denial of feelings she doesn't normally feel and would usually resist and lock them away. Knowing the fact she can never have what she desires.

It always made her learn to accept.

To accept that no matter how much it hurts, she'll always be an untrustworthy ENA. A race not worthy to be content, nor will ever be seen as equal to the community.

But the current visual of Coral Glasses right now - how she sits on the shikibuton, legs partially spread and trembling just a little, looking up at her with an understanding that she could only describe as foreign. She knew she couldn't deny what she craves - to appreciate and relish every second, every minute and hour of Coral Glasses.

But… What has she done to deserve that? To deserve Coral? What gives her the right to let herself feel joy and happiness over an entity she finds a sincere bond with?

Coral tilts her head a little, expression thoughtful as ever. “야.. 아직 준비 안 됐어도 괜찮아. 언제든 다른 날 밤에 하면 돼..”(Hey.. If you're not ready for this, it's okay. We can always do this another night.)

“It's not that.” Ǝna replied quicker than necessary.

“Well it is, however I'm not having second thought. I suppose I'm just too unfamiliar with this kind of symbiotic exchange. I am concerned that I don't even know what I'm feeling presently.

“아마도 긴장감”(Could it be nervousness, perhaps?) Coral guesses aloud, watching Ǝna sulk a bit in response at the thought. Ǝna didn't like to feel like anything of the sort, it made her feel like she's weak or useless to feel what could be described as a category of fear. 

“Calling me a coward?” She mutters bitterly, crossing her arms. “아니, 아니!”(N-no no!) Coral rambles a little in worry for misunderstanding. “아니… 그런 감정을 느끼는 게 그렇게 나쁜 건 아니잖아 이런 상황에서는 당연할 뿐이야”(I-I mean it's not a terrible emotion to feel. In this situation, it would only be understandable.)

Ǝna stares at her for a moment before her ivory side softens at the consideration of her words. She turns away to her side and places her mitten hand to her mouth, the cogs still turning loudly in her mind. Figuring out her own feelings as if they were like a puzzle.

Coral deeply sighed through her nose. A part of her felt very grateful that she's giving this first time of theirs some thought. She didn't want Ǝna to force herself to do this just for her sake, that would make things unsettling for both of them. Though she wishes that Ǝna would understand it's not a crime to feel vulnerable and accept benefits for herself. Maybe some words of encouragement would help? 

“여기요,...”(Hey,...) Coral softly called. Making Ǝna snap from her thoughts and side glance towards her. Watching how her hand stretches out to pat the empty space in front of her on the flat mattress. A silent, gentle invitation. Ǝna stared back and forth at Coral’s hand and face before taking a slow step closer. Crouching down enough to be on the floor bed across from Coral. Sitting with her legs crossed making the businesswoman copy her position before her hands gently take hold of her unmatched ones, pulling them closer. Coral’s hands were soft, warm and admittedly, incredibly sweaty, but Ǝna didn't bother. 

“듣다…”(Listen…) Coral started, her tone soft but serious. 

“괜찮아요... 이게 당신에게는 꽤 새로운 경험이라는 걸 알아요. 사실 우리 둘 다에게 새로운 경험이죠. 하지만 긴장하는 건 전혀 부끄러워할 일이 아니에요. 왜 그런 감정을 느끼는지 정확한 이유를 모르더라도 괜찮아요. 저도... 저도 사실 많이 긴장하고 있어요. 저도 이런 경험은 처음이거든요. 앞으로 어떻게 될지, 어떤 결과로 이어질지 전혀 예상도 못 하겠어요... 하지만 당신과 함께 알아가고 싶어요.”(It's okay… I know this is pretty new to you, it's new for both of us, but feeling nervous is nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you don’t know the complete cause why you feel such things. And I.. I’m very nervous myself, mainly because I haven't done this before. And I don’t have any expectation or idea on what this could lead to,.. But I’m willing to find out with you.)

Her words made the saleswoman’s body relax, expression softening into something unreadable. Glancing down at Coral’s hands, how they hold hers so delicately but firmly with promise, her thumbs occasionally caress the knuckles of her asymmetrical hands. Her gaze comes back up to her face where she can see the care and nervous anticipation in her obsidian eye. She’s never seen a more patient and compassionate look from an entity before, not even since she was first spawned in this world. And how pretty she looked with it too. Just looking at her made her heart throb with a yearn to give whatever she wished for without question.

Coral continued, doing her best efforts to be mindful of her next words, “당신이 편안하게 느끼신다면요... 왜냐하면 저는 이 모든 것을 저만을 위한 것으로 만들고 싶지 않거든요... 당신에게도 중요한 일이 되어야 하니까요... 사랑을 나눈다는 건 바로 그런 거잖아요... 가장 사랑하고 신뢰하는 사람과 특별한 무언가를 공유하고... 두 사람 모두 더 깊은 관계로 나아갈 준비가 되었는지 확인하는 것 말이에요...”(As long as you are comfortable to do so… Because I don't just want to make this about me,... But about you too… That's what making love is about… Sharing something supposedly special with the one you love and trust most… And making sure both feel ready for something more…)

Ǝna stared for another moment until her gaze turned into something a little thoughtful, perhaps amused. “For an entity who's never experienced this kind of exchange of dopamine, you sound very knowledgeable of it.” Her statement made Coral blush a little with the saleswoman’s blunt call out of her virginity. 

“음, 맞아요. 전 항상 성관계란 그런 식으로 해야 한다고 배웠어요… 합의 없이 하거나 사랑 없이 하는 건 안 된다고요. 그리고 공허한 것도 안 된다고요. 경험이 있든 없든, 누구든 이 사실을 알아야 해요.”(Well it's the truth. I've always been taught that coitus should be something along the lines of that… It’s not supposed to be nonconsensual or loveless. And Empty. Anyone, with experience or none, should know that.)

If Ǝna had a neck, she would've felt a lump in her throat. That side of intimacy, toxic intimacy, was something she's way too familiar with. Hitting way close to what she could hardly title as ‘home’.

“하지만 저는 그것이… 당신에게는 생소한 일이 아니라는 걸 알아요.”(But I know that's… something you're not a stranger to.) Coral felt hurt saying that out loud. It was the very unfortunate truth that she had trouble accepting.

“이번에는 예전과는 다르게 하고 싶어요. 당신이 편안하고 안전하다고 느끼길 바라요. 당신이 위에 있든 아래에 있든, 심지어 저에게 욕을 하더라도 상관없어요. 당신이 무엇을 선택하든 괜찮아요. 그저 이 순간에 당신이 저와 함께 편안하고 행복했으면 좋겠어요. 왜냐하면 저는 당신을 너무나 사랑하니까요.” (I don't want this to be like your other times. I want you to feel safe doing this. You can be top or bottom however you like. You can degrade me if you so wanted to no matter what position you choose. I just… want to make sure you're comfortable and happy to do this. With me. Because I love you very much.)

Ǝna felt an ache of sensitivity. Feeling a sudden urge to cry, but manages to pull herself together. She's too used to doing that. Just hearing her say she loves her tugged her heart core's strings. The roots winding up into a tight knot at such sincerity. A part of her almost wishes she could open her chest to detangle them so it'll feel less crammed in her chest cavity. But alas, her biology wasn’t that artificial. She couldn’t tell if that fact was a fortunate coincidence in a situation of emotion such as this.

The saleswoman looks back down at her lover’s hands, soon slowly shifting them so she's holding Coral’s now. Her triangular eyes wander over them as if she was studying them - Such delicate skin, smooth and so very warm to the touch, fingers slender but strong.

Ǝna couldn't help herself.

She brought one hand to her one sided lips and pressed them lightly on her knuckles before doing the same for each of her digits. Slowly drifting to the other to give similar treatment, making sure both hands got her undivided attention. It was like she was worshipping them like an entity might do for a Genie or Runas himself. It made Coral's heart flutter to see and feel the rather romantical form of physical intimacy be displayed. Definitely not something she was expecting from Ena, but what exactly can you predict from an entity such as her?

Ǝna nuzzles her hand to her cheek. “You don't understand how much I.. love you too.” Her Meanie voice sounded so genuine and longing, contrasting its typical sarcasm and straightforward command. Starting to kiss her palm, then the back of her hand, then her wrist, then up her forearm.

“You're so beautiful. So smart."

"You actually care and acknowledge how I feel. You've made me feel things I didn't think I was capable of feeling."

"So compassionate. So endearing."

"I never knew what love was until you had the audacity to come into my life."

"You're so precious and pure. So special and unique. So valiant and sweet."

"You…”

She stopped once she realized how her kisses desperately trailed up to Coral’s shoulder. Her sided lips about to reach for her neck. Pulling her floating head back to see the businesswoman’s face and how flustered she looked, cheeks flushed with a tint of magenta. Ǝna stopped and stared at her, confused of whatever the hell is coming over her. Glancing down at her lips for a second before she continued.

“I want you. I need you. I want to love you, kiss you,-worship you,-hide you-"

"I… I want this… I'm ready for this…"

"I want us to go further and comprehend more about this bond we've managed to possess. I want to know more, and feel more, with you.”

Coral felt her heart melt as well as a sense of relief to hear Ǝna’s affirmative decision. “나는 그것을 원한다…”(I want that too…) She whispers, faint, unsteady breaths leaving her shaky lips. Looking so dedicated and happy in her eye makes Ǝna feel the same. It felt like there was nothing else in these abstract worlds, no loud, irritable business consumers to deal with. Just the two of them. And that's all that mattered even if this had to end by the end of the night. It made Ǝna want to make the most of it. Letting herself indulge in the wonders of the love in love making while courting Coral. Being her guide and showing her how the unknown can have her eye rolling back in ecstasy.

Both the ladies' breaths got heavier - sounding so needy and coveting. Ǝna, after slowly brushing a lock of hair out of the businesswoman's face, was first to move closer and let her lips contact with her lover's. It felt surprisingly normal yet still very odd to kiss Ǝna, Coral would think. For their mouths aren't exactly functional - what it didn't seem like by appearance at least. It still manages to feel so enticing.

Coral felt sweat soak her body once more the longer and deeper the kiss went on - The saleswoman, tilting her head to push her retractable tongue inside her mouth, slowly yet so deliberately exploring every inch of it. Her ivory claw, slowly moving to the back of the businesswoman’s head to gently pull her closer. Allowing her sharp fingers get tangled within her coal black hair. A sensation of static surrounded her tongue that was an unexpected and unusual sense impression, but indeed very intoxicating.

‘이게… 실제로 일어나고 있는 일인가요?’(Is this… actually happening?)

Coral thought, soon realizing how her own hand tries to go around Ǝna’s floating torso.

‘오, 루나스! 이게 진짜로 일어나고 있어요! 우리가 진짜로 하고 있어요!’(Oh Runas! This is actually happening! We're really doing this!)

Soon Ǝna slowly pulls back to give them both some air. Observing the woman in front of her.

“You're shaking…” She whispers.

Watching how the businesswoman’s body very lightly trembles, vermillion rings on her polyp pulse at violent speed and her face and neck are glistening with sweat against the warm light of the lamp. She didn't need to question the businesswoman to know her current feelings when the evidence was clear as holy code. Ǝna takes her vermillion, mitten hand to rub Coral's arm up and down to soothe her shivers.

“You have no need to quiver like a leaf, my dear partner. Keep your shoulders back and be a placid lake. I'll make sure, in my greatest honor, to assure that you are very well content with the gratification I’m willing to provide you.”

The saleswoman's words of reassurance and attempted comfort didn't help Coral's heart from racing. Though it did help remind her that they are experiencing this together, and making her feelings just as seen as Ǝna’s. She took a deep breath before she whispered a soft ‘좋아요…’(Okay).

A soft smile formed on the ivory side of Ǝna’s face at Coral's response before her eyes trailed down to her shirt. Her hands moved slowly, reaching the hem and tugging it gently. Glancing back up at Coral with eyes asking for permission, even if it wasn't needed. 

After receiving a gentle nod anyway, she slowly guides the shirt up. Her fingers purposely caress against her skin as she goes higher, making a shiver run up the businesswoman’s spine. It was a mild struggle to get the shirt through the polyp without it being stuck, though it was still manageable - it must be difficult to live having an aquatic organism growing in your eye. It wasn’t long ‘til the shirt was discarded to the side, landing on the floor besides the flat mattress.

Ǝna shamelessly looked at Coral's now exposed, paper white skin. She has seen Coral Glasses naked a few times already. From giving her a much needed massage, showering with her to save hot water before the water bill came up, and offering Coral a nice bath to take care of her after a long day; context, she had a nervous breakdown during overtime. She's seen it all before, but still every time felt like the first. There's something about her more biotic body she found so visually pleasing. Many times she wanted to know more of it. Both out of curiosity, to know the anatomy of another entity whose body is both artificial and organic by nature, similar to hers,... and what kind of caresses, firm nudges, and tweaks would be enough to make her moan.

Her hands acted like they had a mind of their own - running her fingers up and down her sides with the lightest touch. Exploring every inch of skin and studying her reactions like a book. How she easily managed to make shivers run through her body, and coax the softest gasps and hitches from her lips. Eventually her hands go up to her shoulders, gently pushing them to guide Coral down.

Ǝna follows once she's against the mattress, keeping her body up with the support of her arms. Both hands were placed on either side of Coral’s shoulders. Making her look down at her, and see how her hair spreads along the pillow. The way she was looking at Ǝna so openly - cheeks tinted fluorescent pink, polyp pulsing slowly, catching her doe eye getting a glimpse of her lips.

“Fuck…” 

“뭔가 잘못된 건가요..?”(Is something wrong..?)

Ǝna snapped out of a trance thanks to the woman's question. It made her almost embarrassed how such an expression had her distracted.

“Ahem Oh no, not one bit! You just… look very pretty like this.”

She admires the woman for a second longer before gently pressing her lips against Coral’s. Deepening ever so slightly before parting to plant kisses on her face, starting with the dimmed freckles on her nose. Moving to her cheek, to her forehead, to her eyelid. It wasn't long till they started a path down from her jawline to her neck which made Coral immediately tense up from the sensitivity. Ǝna’s kisses were so gentle and slow. It caught Coral off guard when she nibbled on a more tender spot. Not that she was complaining.

Ǝna goes down to her shoulders, her collarbone, her chest. Carefully cupping one of her small breasts in her mitten hand with her thumb grazing over her nipple. Giving it a petite pinch while her mouth suckles the other. Causing Coral to gasp and arch her back, her sweaty body pressing up against her. It made her look up at her to find any discomfort only to find none, which encouraged her to continue her actions.

“Do you fathom how handsome you are, dear partner…?” Ǝna’s mouth lets go of her nipple to place more soft kisses on the curve of her tit.

Coral wasn't sure on how to respond or what to think about the saleswoman’s question. She wasn't exactly ashamed of her body, nor would she consider herself very attractive either. Though there was something about the way Ǝna looks at her body - sometimes like she's a Roman statue in an art museum. It made her feel a little more at ease if not more self-conscious for it felt like she was the center of attention every time she stared. Who knows what went on in Ena’s mind. With her physique being slender and having very little curve, Coral thought of it as nothing very special. However, something in Ǝna’s gaze told otherwise.

Ǝna rests her head on Coral's flat bosom like it was a pillow. Deeply inhaling the sea salt and unique sweetness to her scent. Hearing the businesswoman's pacing heartbeat which harmonizes with the whirs and clicks of her fax machinery running inside.

“How can an entity exist oblivious to how pulchritudinous she is? I must consider it criminal.”

Her hands wander once more so thoroughly up and down her sides. Asymmetrical fingers caress, almost like they’re scanning, her velvety skin continually - detecting any areas that are most delicate to her touch. Only making Coral gently squirm beneath her as goosebumps arose in their wake.

“Perhaps I must give proof to my factual analysis…"

She murmurs before ongoing her trail down the businesswoman's abdomen. Every feather light touch she delivers made Coral feel so fragile, like she can easily shatter in her arms. Her chest can be seen moving with each heaving breath and every shuddering response of her body didn’t go unnoticed to Ǝna.

Soon the saleswoman's kisses reach her hips. Hooking her ivory claws on the waistband of her sweatpants, including her boxers, and slowly pulling them down. It made Coral jerk every time she felt Ǝna’s lips press against her uncovered pelvis.

“Ticklish much?” Ǝna’s tease made the poor woman embarrassed, too, from the sight of her so close to her sex. “Hm, no need to be timid, dear. It's quite an endearing quality.”

Ǝna continues to tug at the waistbands to expose more of her. An amused smile perked on her sided lips once seeing her thick, black bush. Letting her claws play with the bundle of hairs before returning to her previous task. Revealing her lover's slender legs slowly till both fabrics slide off her ankles. Once removed, Ǝna looks at the woman’s now nude form. Letting out a breathless sigh while her mitten hand runs up her leg, feeling the hair of her calf.

“Stunning. So effortlessly exquisite.”

Ǝna leisurely spreads Coral’s legs open which makes her hitch her breath from the cold air immediately hitting the heat that laid between them. She takes a shaky breath at the sight, seeing her sex glisten in the warm light.

“And so saturated already…” She whispered before she props the businesswoman's leg on her, assumed to be, shoulder. Keeping her legs separated.

“Surely you've indulged in self pleasure before, true?” Ǝna questioned, leaning her head against her knee as her vermillion finger gently, almost teasingly, grazed over Coral’s slit. Creating a sharp inhale from Coral, who felt a little embarrassed of being asked something quite personal, but since this is a vulnerable moment anyway, why hide it? 

“해본 적은 있어요... 하지만 한동안 못 해봤네요. 제가 허브에 고용되기 훨씬 전이었죠. 시간도 없고 마땅한 장소도 찾지 못했어요.” (I have… but not in a while. Far since before I was hired at the hub. I just couldn't find time or a good place.) That must have been a long time then. Ǝna gave a look of pity, pouting her lip a little, staring at Coral as if she were an abandoned puppy. “Oh, you poor thing. Allow me to resolve that problem for you, my dear.”

With a very slow and careful movement, Ǝna’s finger slips inside. It made Coral immediately tense at the unfamiliarity of the texture of a finger that’s not her own. Ǝna watches it disappear into her folds before she checks on her partner's current state of comfortability. Seeing her face subtly stiffen with uncertainty.

“Don’t tense.” She mutters before planting a nurturing kiss on her leg. “Feed your lungs with patient breath. I promise you’re in good hands, m’lady.” Even with the typical theatrical speech of her sales pitch, it did reassure Coral that she was safe and recognized. 

It took a brief minute to adjust before it started feeling good. A small whimper leaving Coral’s lips. Ǝna felt a sense of satisfaction and relief to hear that evidence is apparent - she’s giving pleasure to her beloved partner. Cautiously adding a second finger, curling both at a steady pace while they explore for her favorite ‘buttons’. The sensation was building up with small shocks of pleasure like electricity running through Coral’s body. Her small moans were music to Ǝna’s ears, it saddened her to watch her put her hand to her mouth to silence them. 

“It’s unnecessary to be diffident, dear. You can sing for me.” That comment didn't help the butterflies crowding in Coral’s stomach. It seemed to turn her on further hearing her smooth sales pitch talk so sweetly yet so implied of naturally attempted seduction.

“하지만... 만약 우리가 그들을 깨운다면 어떻게 될까요?” (But… What if we wake them up?) 

It took the saleswoman a second to realize what she meant till it unfortunately clicked.

“Shit…”

She forgot that Mitu and Taski, their roommates, are still in the house. Actually sleeping than going to their favorite loud festivities like the Purge Event. Oh, how much she wanted to make this wonderful woman scream but can't. Because knowing their antics, if they found out, there's no escape. Soon the word would be spread like runny butter on toast. Neither would get an ounce of mercy from rumors. Especially teasing, and perhaps scolding, from Froggy if he ended up hearing through the grapevine. They'll never hear the end of it.

After a blink of consideration, Ǝna speaks again. “Perhaps we'll need to be attentive of our volume, though I don't want you to be fully noiseless. I want to hear that pathetic voice.”

Without warning, her vermillion thumb started to rub her clit with the same slow rhythm of her other fingers hitting, what had to be, a good spot from Coral’s reaction. Making a louder moan of surprise and rapture leave her mouth before it was cut off by biting her own lip.

Ǝna chuckled deeply being witness to the scene. Sending heat to pool down to her core. “Seems my favorite coworker is enjoying herself, eh?”

She murmured against Coral’s knee. Giving it another kiss while her ivory claws lightly caressed her inner thigh, tracing her pale stretch marks. Enjoying the gentle but very clear control she has in this event. The businesswoman couldn't do anything but melt beneath her touches, panting and muffling any sounds that slipped out. Trembling and restraining further when Ǝna pushed her soft fingers deeper against her sweet spot. It's starting to get deliciously overwhelming but harder to keep her voice down. 

“에나… 너 때문에… 힘들어…”(Ena- You're making it.. difficult to-..)

“Oh dear, is this too much? Do you need me to pause-?”

“아니요!”(No!) Coral pleaded, her hand swiftly went for Ǝna's wrist in case she was going to pull away. Letting out a pitiful whine.

“제 말은... 제발, 멈추지 마세요.”(I-i mean… Please, don't stop.)

“Very well, my dear partner.” Ǝna smirked until it softened into a smile. Her head floated down as she began to gently kiss and nip the inside of her slender thigh. The sensitive sensation made Coral quiver more, biting her own hand to quiet herself. Soon the walls of her pussy tried hugging Ǝna's fingers tighter. Her legs attempting to wrap around the saleswoman, desperate to cling to something.

“음... 에나...”(Mmph! E-Ena..) Ǝna softly shushes her in response to her pleading moan, her head floating back in place to see Coral. “Go ahead, dearest. I'm here to catch you.”

Ǝna’s fingers sped to help her get closer towards her edge. It wasn't long until Coral's body was flashing a zinc gray, a reaction when she's usually printing. Finally holding back a squeal as a black, ink-like substance squirts quickly all over Ǝna's arm. Her fingers didn't stop until every drop was spilled on her mitten hand. A satisfied smile appears on her face before she looks up at Coral, who looked so blissed and quite relieved. Coral really needed that release more than she realized.

The businesswoman tries to catch her breath, panting while she comes down from her high with the assistance of Ǝna’s fingers that carefully withdraw from her. Ǝna observes the inky liquid on her hand, noting its thickness and how it sticks to her vermillion fingers before putting it up to her lips. Slowly licking it off and testing its flavor - so strangely sweet and sea salty. Coral Glasses could only watch. Self-conscious that she's tasting her own come but too feeling more aroused by the sight. 

A pleased hum left the saleswoman as she licked what dripped down her forearm. “You taste devine.” Her feminine voice sounded more raspier that time, making Coral swoon a little.

“How are you feeling?” “기분이 좋아요... 아주 좋아요...” (Good… Really good…) “Is my dear entrepreneur prepared for the main course?” The businesswoman's eager nod makes Ǝna smile. 

Slowly removing her leg from her shoulder before her hands went to the hem of her own shirt to pull it off over her head. Following suit with her boxer shorts sliding off her disjointed legs. Revealing her geometric figure - red abdomen, breasts simply separated by a line in the middle of her chest (odd how that works), ivory pelvis, mismatched limbs, slender but hid great strength. Coral hitches at the sight of her nudity, how can an entity made of polygons manage to look attractive?

Ǝna's hands then pulled the businesswoman's legs further apart to put herself more in between them, admiring her vulnerable state once more.

“이게 어떻게 진행될까요?” (How is this going to work?) The saleswoman looked back at her face with determination. “I'll make it work”

The position was complicated. Ǝna carefully hooks her legs around Coral’s hips. Almost locking her legs in place with subtle strength, lightly squeezing her torso with her thighs. The ivory block, that's supposedly her hips, angled specifically so their entrances are barely touching. Her head and torso hover over the businesswoman while she takes her hands in hers. Pinning them down gently against the pillow, but firm enough to make sure she's trapped beneath her.

Coral’s eye widened at the new view of the woman above her. It made her body feel helpless with Ǝna's caring but dominating gaze staring down at her. Her heart core is running laps at this point. 

“Comfortable?” “네, 부인. 아, 잠깐만요... 아니요... 제 말은 네, 맞는데... 음…” (Yes, ma’am- Ah. Wait- no.. I mean yes- but. um..)

Ǝna laughed, amused by her lover's adorable stumble of words. “My dear, formalities don't need to be required for this. Unless you're that into being submissive.” Ǝna’s tease felt like another callout that Coral can't help but look away from, though not completely in denial. “음... 어쩌면요.” (I mean… maybe.) An entertained purr left Ǝna at Coral’s bashfulness. Leaning closer to tenderly kiss her cheek before whispering. “You're so fucking cute."

After another tender moment and a soft word of assured permission, Ǝna presses her hips further against Coral's till their warmth shares contact. Making both women sigh at the sensation alone. Ǝna makes her movement firstly, grinding her clit into hers with such thorough caution. She quietly grunts, taking pleasure from this. Actually feeling good in the transaction. Opening her eyes to see the woman already panting softly under her, head leaning back against the pillow. 

Coral looked so exposed, so trusting in her hands. She trusts her. She's safe with her. She's pleased because of her.

Ǝna couldn't help the urge to plant her lips into hers with an attempt of slow, deep passion again. Letting any sounds from Coral to be stifled within. Feeling their vibrations as her tongue dances with hers. Grinding steadily but firmly. The friction of their folds makes both women wetter. More slicker with unneeded lubrication. GØd, did the idea of making a mess together excite them further.

Ǝna eventually pulls back for air, leaving a shameless bridge of saliva from their lips to break and land on Coral’s chin. Both of them locked eyes. Feeling their connection - their wavelengths uniting into one. Making them call out each other quietly as if their own titles were a secret for both of them to know and keep. 

Desperately but delicately, Ǝna’s head goes down to her neck and sinks her teeth into her white skin. Making Coral restrain a groan. “Is this okay?” Ǝna mumbled with her mouth full of her flesh before sucking it. “음... 네, 하지만 너무 티 나게 하지는 마세요.” (Ngh. Yes, b-but don't make it manifest.)

“Of course, m’lady, though as much as I want to.- So anomalies will know you belong to me.”

Her low statement made Coral clench around nothing, making a hitched moan into the saleswoman's ear. Ǝna's muffled groan turned into another soft laugh as she let go.

“That measure of your number certainly reveals your excitement of that idea.” 

“음... 글쎄요... 꽤 솔깃한 제안이긴 한데요... 아! 위험 부담이 걱정되서요!” (W-Well um… It does sound quite tempting. I just worry about the- Ah!.. Risk!)

Coral gasped when Ǝna bit down on her neck again, this time on a sensitive spot on the other side with a bit more force. Additionally, giving a harder thrust of her hips against her clitoris to surprise her. It certainly did, though soon her response in return was her trying to grind back for more.

“Did you like that?” "음..."(Mhm..)

Coral's affirmative response and her body’s instinctive reactions sparks more of her courage to go even farther. She continues to move her hips with more pressure like she teased. Restricting a moan from Coral’s desperate attempt to copy her rhythm. “GØd, you feel wonderful.” She grumbles, releasing her teeth from her neck then kissing and licking the hickey to soothe it. Trailing up to her ear, whispering. “Such a handsome girl.”

Coral can feel herself reducing into a puddle. The copious amount of sweat produced from her warm body, damping Ǝna's and possibly staining the sheets. Feeling more drenched with how sensitive and soaked her pussy’s become the more Ǝna moves. Swooning from every praise and intimate word spoken from her lover. Keeping up the act of suppressing her noises to a minimum, only to be whimpering faintly into the saleswoman's ear. “Such a pretty voice.”

Ǝna's kisses never stopped. “Such a hard-working girl” Kiss “So brave and independent.” Kiss “So real and alive.” Kiss “So smart and humble.” Kiss “So special, so fucking special.”

Every sound, every touch, every response, everything acted through promised recognition. It was starting to get overwhelming for Ǝna. How she managed to feel mutuality and elation that she noticed being so deprived from for Runas knows how long. It's making her a starved, desperate woman. Not just for the feeling, but for the entity who was so willing to feel this with her. She felt like she was possessed by some kind of drug. Already becoming addicted to Coral till it felt like she was losing her train of thought. It made her want to give more. Doing whatever it takes to make Coral happy even if it meant destroying herself over again just to be reincarnated anew from a mannequin’s shell. 

She looks up at her with something so coveting and desiring beyond her own comprehension as hurried breaths leave her mouth. Both sides were replaced with a solid white, scleras black and pupils replaced with hearts in the colors of vermillion and ivory. Both of her voices warbling together into one, synchronizing as she spoke.

“I love you so much … So much.. it fucking hurts..”

"에나.." (Ena..)

Coral mutters before gasping once she feels Ǝna buck her hips faster. Positioning them with more precision, so their pussies would rub together just right. Making Ǝna growl out a swear at how incredible it felt.

"엔 에나-!" (E-Ena-!)

She was quickly cut off by Ǝna kissing her lips once more though with more yearn. Taking over her mouth probably a little more aggressively than she intended. Coral kept up but was quickly dominated when trying to match her pace. Her breathing ragged as she pulled away. 

“I want to give you everything. Everything. Anything that your heart desires.”

The sensation was amazing but so intense that it was getting hard to think for both of them. Their senses completely taken over by the smell of sex, wet sounds squelching between their vaginas, and the erotic gratification of slippery friction and pressure against one another.

Ǝna lets go of Coral's hands, flying to her waist to pull it closer against her, her mouth quickly going to one of her nipples like earlier. Being mindful of her bite around it which made Coral force back a yelp. It took so much will power for both of them to restrain their voices for the sake of not causing any disturbance to their roommates in the other room - Ǝna's sudden adrenaline and behavior of going wild especially, more vocal with praise and a developing obsession.

Coral’s arms latch onto the saleswoman’s waist, desperate for something to hold. The friction soon became too much to take with a need to almost explode. Making her claw at her vermillion skin with her short nails. Ǝna groans before letting her nipple go with a pop.

“Yes! Mark me! Scratch me! Let the world know I belong to you.”

Ǝna's eager demand for possession in Coral's ear made her want to shout, forcing it down by biting her lover's shoulder and moan muffled into the vermilion skin.

“Fuuuuuck…” Ǝna gravelled as she applied her force with great wanting of a release of her own. GØd, has she ever been given the opportunity to properly orgasm during sex before? Ǝna couldn't care to remember right now, her only task was to get there with Coral. 

“I love you. I love you. This woman's mine. Mine. Mine. Mine-Mine-Mine-Mine-Mine-Mine-Mine-Mine.”

Once the Coral's skin flashed gray again, Ǝna went straight to her mouth. Letting another deep kiss deaden their duet of ecstasy. Feeling so hopeless and needy under so much desire and intensity. Grinding so vigorously till they both finally reach. Screaming into one another's mouths and making a mess of themselves with their own fluids of finalized gratification swiftly flowing out and mixing together.

Ǝna became weaker than she expected, but still stubbornly used whatever energy she had left to continue grating her hips to coax more of their come out. For once a vulnerable whine fell from her sided lips. As well as Coral, beneath her, holding onto her tightly.

“E-Ena..” “Coral…” “Ena..” “Coral…” “Ena…”

They call out to one another quietly until pulling themselves close for a needed embrace. Both of their violent quivers very slowly died down, their breathing becoming more stable the more they let themselves relax. One feeling the other's warmth and vice versa, being there for each other like a true mutual relationship. Protecting each other from the world that seemed non-existent for a while until their senses came back after a few minutes.

Coral lets herself yield to the now comforting silence with her partner in her arms. Until it was shattered by a voice coming from said partner. Sounding disoriented and downcast.

“I can't comprehend this…” 

It immediately had Coral breaking a nervous sweat. She gently pries the saleswoman's head up to look at her instead of being buried in the crook of her neck.

“무엇?-” (What?-)

Coral was surprised to see how Ǝna's original colors have returned but now with her red side having a crack spreading across it. Her expression was filled with something she never seen from Ǝna before. Something perplexed and deep-rooted. Her breath shook as she opened her mouth to speak.

“How I have done so much in these worlds. So much sin, crime and dumbass decisions, and yet Runas has blessed me the closest I could ever experience as heaven. A woman that makes me see more to existence than a repetitive hell full of morons. It makes me wonder why… What have I done or said to be gifted and be given an entity that I can relate to, communicate to, bond to, and… love to. What right do I have to enjoy the company of the only woman that sees me more than just a ENA, a fraud, a commodity, nothing other than a servant and a sinner. What right do I have to... consider something so valuable... when I've done too much wrong to ever call it mine.”

Coral didn't expect her to go into depth about her feelings. It made her heart ache to hear her confusion - skeptical if this is what she deserves. Deserving Coral. Deserving to be loved. She slowly takes her hand and cups her lover's cheek, her thumb gently caressing the edge of the cracks that spread on her face. Looking at her for a small quiet minute before speaking so softly.

“에나, 당신은 그런 감정을 느낄 자격이 충분해요. 당신은 제가 진심으로 사랑하는 멋진 여성이니까요. 저는 당신을 행복하게 해 주기 위해 무엇이든 할 준비가 되어 있어요. 에나, 당신은 사랑받고 있다는 걸 잊지 마세요. 그 어떤 것도 그 사실을 바꿀 수는 없어요.” (You had every right to feel such, Ena. You are a wonderful woman who I love dearly, and I'm willing to make you happy with whatever I can. You're loved, Ena, and nothing will say otherwise.)

Ǝna felt her heart go heavy, the vermillion pieces flashing on the verge of disappearing. A soft sob in her voice with dark echoes of miserable emotion harmonizing with it. The lack of deceit of Coral's voice assuring her devotion was too much with the abrupt return of unwanted thoughts of regret plaguing her mind.

“You… You're too good for me… I don't deserve you.”

Those words broke Coral's heart, watching Ǝna slowly become broken herself. Half of her face, completely faded away, now replaced with a dark void of static. Failing to hold in her tears, squeezing her eye shut and looking down in shame. Feeling her body tremble, once before from pleasure, now replaced with unfathomable guilt and restrained grief.

“오, 에나…” (Oh Ena…) She sadly sighed as she guided her head to her shoulder again to let her cry into it.

“에나, 그건 사실이 아니라는 걸 너도 알잖아…” (Ena, you know that's not true.)

“I just can't believe how I can… get so lucky… It all feels so unreal..."

"이건 진짜예요. 맹세컨대, 이 모든 건 사실입니다." (This is real. I promise, this is all real.)

Coral gently shushes Ǝna's sobs when they get too loud. Her fingers run through her deep black hair, massaging her scalp soothingly. Planting light kisses on her head and the bite she left on her vermillion shoulder. Comforting her sudden emotional response after their act of copulation. 

Whatever possessed her mind to begin thinking something so cynical of the present, she wished to take it away. 

Maybe it's just how unfamiliar everything was - security, safety, honesty, care, a fair exchange of pleasure. It's all too new to her. And she's given the privilege to experience these things when being so deprived of it all. It was so much to take in at once, and with the tension of the event, it drove her mad. Then she had her mind back to running, it made her overthink her actions. Concerning her act was too selfish and taking too much for regard. Guilty for accepting something she thought she could never have.

After a few minutes of tender words and silent sobs, Ǝna's tears finally began to subside. Giving herself moment to collect herself again, filling her lungs with deep breaths to steady them back into place. Eventually lifting her head back up to look at Coral under her. Her cheeks stained, eyes exhausted, a neutral frown on her now healed vermilion side.

“My apologies if I became sort of… unhinged.. in the middle of the beneficial offering.” Ǝna starts, making Coral look almost confused.

"아니요." (No.) 

“No?” Ǝna looked unconvinced of that answer.

“Are you certain…” She trails off, staring down at the few hickies she left. Her vermillion thumb gently traces the one she made around her nipple. Coral hitching at the sensitivity. “...That I wasn't too forward?”

It was obvious that she was worried that she must have hurt Coral or at least gave her discomfort from how crazed she had become. It was very sweet and endearing, unnecessary, but the businesswoman can understand her concern.

“에나, 난 그 모든 순간을 즐겨서... 음, 네가 좀 더 거칠게 대했을 때가 특히 좋았던 것 같아.” (Ena, I enjoyed every second of it. I guess I.. kinda liked it when you got a little more rough.) She admitted rather sheepishly. Not knowing on how Ǝna would respond to that information.

By the looks, she did indeed look surprised by that statement. Too it fueled something more adventurous. Wondering what other ways she could pleasure Coral if that were true. Soon her shoulders finally relaxed with consolation the more she gave her words some thought - If she was uncomfortable, she would've used the safeword they made that other night just in case.

“If you say so, Coral… I just want to make sure you're okay.”

Coral sighs. She too would consider herself lucky in having an entity that cares about her so much. Brushing her bangs away from her face to then cupping her ivory cheek this time. Giving a reassuring, tender smile. 

“저는 괜찮은 정도가 아니라 아주 좋아요.” (I'm more than okay.) 

Ǝna easily melted under the moist warmth of her hand. Holding in in her claws and nuzzling into it like a cat asking for attention. Giving a kiss on the palm, then once more like earlier, kissing each inch of her fingers. Murmuring small nothings into her skin that surprised Coral by the modification of her language.

“Mi querida Coral. Mi amor. Mi corazón. Mi todo.”

Both the women enjoy the quiet of the bedroom before Ǝna slowly untangles herself out of position and looks down to see the erotic mess they’ve shared and produced among Coral’s bed sheets. 

“Hm, we've certainly played havoc.” She suddenly gets up from the shikibuton. “Allow me to get us a sterilization operative. Do you want a refreshment?”

“물 좀 주세요.” (Some water sounds nice, please.) Coral responds, though water wasn’t as hydrating as ink, it was still beneficial to cool down her fax system. 

She watches Ǝna nod and quietly make her way through the shoji door and down the dark hallway. Soon sitting herself up and getting a view of their mixed orgasms. Noticing how there was a stark contrast of appearance to their fluids. While hers was like black ink, Ǝna’s was more creamy and static-like. White code running through it almost blending into the liquid’s coloration. It's very surreal but oddly fascinating.

Ǝna comes back with a rag, warmly damp, and a small glass of ice water. Slowly sliding the door shut without a sound before walking to Coral and handing her the glass. Coral watches the coding run through the water before taking a slow sip from it - The cold drink serving a delightful freeze as it flows smoothly down her throat. Turning to Ǝna, who crouched back down on the bed. Wiping the mixed fluids off, starting with Coral. Who shivers immediately at the tactile defensive reaction of her body as the rag slides against her slit.

Ǝna was gentle but extremely thorough. Making sure she's not leaving a single drop, but too being mindful of her body's current state. It didn't take long till she was sufficiently done and was about to pull away to clean herself, until Coral stopped her hand.

“제가 당신을 청소해 드려도 될까요?” (May I clean you?)

Again, another fair exchange that's a stranger to Ǝna in this scenario. Offering a hand unlike past clients who would usually just abandon her. Leaving her to take care of herself.

She was already reluctant to have her help. More on wanting her to do as little work as possible after letting her reach her climax twice. Though it didn't seem like she was that weak. Ǝna lends her the rag anyway and positions her hips show more of her messy genitalia.

Coral puts her water down and very lightly runs the rag through her, guess you can call, sex. It was geometric as one would probably suspected, though somehow still works naturally and had its own weird but awing texture to it. Kinda mechanical but not exactly robotic. Ǝna softly grunts at the contact. Her ivory hand occasionally guided Coral’s to make sure she collected up every drop. 

“자... 이제 우리가 어떻게 해야 할까요?” (So… What do you think we should do now?) Coral breaks the silence softly while she still caringly cleans her partner.

“Well, these sheets are filthy as hell now, so I'd say washing them is our next priority.”

“네, 하지만 세탁물을 건조기에 넣으려면 우리 둘 다 늦게까지 깨어 있어야 할 거예요.” (Yeah, we’ll have to stay up to put them in the dryer, though.)

“Affirmative. I propose we preoccupy ourselves with an activity for the time being.”

“우리가 어떻게 해야 할까요?” (What do you have in mind?)

“Hmm..” Ǝna hums, tapping her claw at her chin. “We could read a favored piece of literature, continue that game of chess we've yet to terminate, or maybe a nice ramble of your aquatic interests. I remember you never finished your loquacious enthusiasm about horseshoe crabs.”

Coral’s eye lightened up immediately at the mention of horseshoe crabs, pausing her actions of cleaning. Ena swore she saw a sparkle within that obsidian void filled with passionate knowledge.

“마지막 항목에 투표해도 될까요?” (Voting on that last one?) Ǝna chuckles heartedly. “I don’t see why not, I get to see more of those genius germs of yours in action.” 

Both entities got up and removed the dirty bedding. Ǝna quietly disappears down the darkened hall once more to take the sheets to the utility room while Coral stays in place. Unsure whether to put her clothes back on or make herself comfortable in Ǝna’s shikibuton. So she just stands awkwardly as she waits for her return, which wasn’t for very long. 

Ǝna comes back to see her lover standing in the center of the room. Exposed and so stunning without any clue just how brilliant of a sight she is in her eyes. She caught herself eyeing her body that was now marked with her hickies on her neck and breast. A fantasy she, not only would typically suppress, but didn't think she could make a reality. She wishes to frame this moment somehow, a picture only hers to keep and cherish.

Approaching her with silent steps, her usual sales grin on her face. “I thought you would’ve made yourself snug by now.”

“당신이 제가 옷을 벗은 채로 당신 침대에 있는 것을 원하는지 확신이 서지 않았어요.” (I wasn’t sure if you want me in your bed without my clothes on.)

Ǝna scoffed as she stopped in front of her. Despite the height difference of being a head shorter, her expression and proud stance told who had the most control in the room. “Oh, like we might not end up doing this again on my bed!”

Coral blushed harshly, feeling a warmth rush back to her neck.

Then Ǝna's voice switched. “That is, of course, if you would want to repeat this transaction, correct?”

Coral can see a seeking of understanding to make sure she’s comfortable with possibly being intimate again in the future. Even if they’ve done it now, she still wants to be mindful and respectful of her boundaries. It’s endearing and, for the most part, extremely thoughtful, cautious even. 

Coral receives a small nod, shy but tenacious. “물론이죠, 저도 그러고 싶어요.” (Of course, I would.)

Ǝna smiles in relief and something tender and quite loving. Her hand came up to fix Coral’s disheveled hair, admiring the hue of fluorescent pink on her cheek. Forgetting about the world around her yet again just from her appearance. Skin pale and pure. Hair dark and silky. Her cheek and nose, sprinkled with freckles. Eye like a deep pool of ink full of such insight, independence, intelligence hiding behind insecurity. And something else she’d never thought she would get messaged towards her:

…Love

She pulled Coral closer for an abrupt but necessary embrace without an alert. Absorbing her presence with her senses. Her natural aroma filling her nose, her skin so slick of her sweat against her mismatched textures of flesh and sharp that wandered over her back, spreading it, hearing her calm pulse and clicks in her chest cavity, a sound so comforting.

It certainly surprised Coral, but she didn’t protest. She slowly wrapped her arms around her geometric shape and leaned into her hold. Their nudity seemed to make the contact more open. Warmer and safer. Intimate with no sexual intentions behind it this time.

Ǝna held her tighter, worried she'd let go or disappear even if Coral wasn’t going to. And she won’t. Never will. Not if Ǝna doesn’t want her to.

Finally, after a long period of peaceful silence and a soft kiss that lingered on her slender neck, Ǝna so lightly whispers with a voice so full of undeniable appreciation.

“Gracias… Gracias por estar en mi vida.”
