Chapter 56: *A little too enthusiastic*
When Alan finally let Erik enter his life, he thought it wouldn’t work out and that he would eventually get tiring of him. However, the truth was that instead of becoming tired of Erik, he had completely fallen in love with him. Alan found himself wanting Erik more and more, and his love grew deeper day by day.
He had promised Erik yesterday that he would leave him alone tonight, but what Kevin had told him—or rather, implied about the fact that Erik had developed his combat intelligence skill because he wanted to protect him more than anything—had turned him on to such an extent that he was struggling to manage his own emotions. All he knew was that he wanted Erik badly, and luckily for him, Erik was offering himself without any resistance.
Alan had a considerable amount of stamina, and Erik truly passed out after climaxing for the third time; he couldn’t even remember how many times they had came that night. Alan finally calmed down when he saw that Erik was unresponsive and realized he might have gone a little too far this time. After that, he carried Erik in his arms and retrieved a bag of magical herbs reserved for this very purpose.
He scattered the magical herbs in the bathroom pool, and after washing Erik’s body in the shower, he picked him up and stepped into the pool. The magical herbs would help to erase most of the hickeys he had left on Erik’s body and would assist in reducing any soreness the following morning. Too bad they wouldn’t entirely eliminate the pain from his repeated penetrations, but even magic herbs had their limits. At least the herbs would provide him some relief.
As he held Erik tightly in his arms, he whispered in his ear, "I love you, Erik. I love you so so much."
Alan then recalled their earlier conversation on the way home and Kevin’s curious abilities. Erik had revealed that he had fought against Kevin but found no openings; he had been easily beaten by him and recounted what Kevin had said after their fight. Alan had reassured Erik, saying that as long as Axel was willing to engage with Kevin, they could trust him.
He genuinely meant it, just as he had told Erik that once Kevin trusted them enough, he would reveal who he really was. All they could do for now was support them and be there to help them if they needed it—just like real friends would do.
In the end, it was Erik’s fault that he found himself in this state because the conversation had made him reflect on what Kevin had told him, and everything had stemmed from there. Once he was certain the magical herbs had healed Erik well, he dried him off and placed him in their bed, imprisoning him once more in his arms. Alan finally fell asleep with a satisfied smile on his lips.
...
Back in Kevin and Axel’s pavilion, the atmosphere was entirely different; it could be considered studious. Axel was examining the Wildlands map, trying to spot potential dungeon locations, while Kevin sat beside him, meditating to regain his Soul Force points.
They had finally agreed to reveal the entire truth to Alan and Erik, including the pentagram mark on Kevin’s chest.
Neither of them was tired, so when Kevin mentioned he wanted to meditate, Axel offered to stay by his side and prepare Erik’s training program. Of course, it hadn’t taken him three hours to complete it, so he took the opportunity to study the Wildlands map.
As Kevin reached the end of his third hour of meditation, he saw the familiar messages pop up, and he couldn’t help but smile.
[ Congratulations, you have just completed the Daily Quest: Strengthen your Soul Force. The rewards have been sent. ]
[ Summary of your meditation ]
Lightning Element Level 5: 12,680 / 20,000

He had just upgraded his Wind Element and Earth Element to level 2! It was amazing; that black necklace was truly a treasure.
He hurried out of his meditative state and gave Axel the good news. In his excitement, he jumped straight into Axel’s arms and wrapped his legs around his waist. Kevin reacted spontaneously, but when he heard Axel moan and felt Axel’s hands grab his waist while he was pressed between him and the table, he realized he might have been a little too enthusiastic.
Quickly, he told Axel, "I didn’t do it on purpose; it really wasn’t my intention!"
Axel knew that Kevin still wanted to craft potions, and he hadn’t finished doing everything he wanted to accomplish either. Taking advantage of the situation, he said, "I’ll let you go if you promise me that we’ll try something else tonight. Don’t worry; I’m not talking about losing your virginity."
Kevin looked at him suspiciously, but since Axel had just offered him a way to escape, he took it without thinking too much. He really wanted to craft his potions and gain as much Soul Force and experience points as possible.
He hastily replied, "Okay, I promise we’ll try something else tonight."
Axel’s smile widened, and he released him, but not before giving him a fiery kiss and rubbing his erection against Kevin to show that he was dead serious.
Kevin couldn’t help but moan, and Axel reluctantly let him go. Kevin’s heart was still racing as he prepared to craft his potions, and Axel knew he had to calm down if he wanted to succeed. So, he asked to change the subject, "What are your stats looking like?"
Kevin, trying to calm himself, really enjoyed this distraction. Since he had only been hovering over his stats all day, this time he took the time to examine them properly and read the information to Axel.
