Chapter 378 378 More Loving...
And for that, he needed Diana to be comfortable around him to do that.
Although her shy act was extremely adorable, it was neither his personal preference nor the requirement of the Smith family at the time.
Given the current scenario, he needed his general Diana, and not his wife who might have to muffle her steps around him in order to avoid earning his ire.
Instead of a coy wife, he needed someone to take charge of the situation and for that he needed to get that shyness out of her.
Zach tried to lift the cover from over her head, but Diana had already anticipated his actions and was gripping the sheet cover tightly in her hands and underneath her head.
Zach didn't force it when Diana wasn't willing to relent. Instead, he put the course of action in his mind to execution.
"Well, since you don't want to talk, I can only assume that you don't want to let go of me. Pitiful me can only go for a round two then."
Zach sounded extremely playful as he jerked his hips underneath the sheets which jolted Diana like she had received a shock worth a million volts. She sprang to action and whelped loudly in surprise.
Diana could feel Zach's pulsing member that was still inside of her and could almost imagine it standing at attention, full of energy and ready to plough her field all over again.
She couldn't take it anymore after all the pistoning she had received the previous night. She was absolutely unwilling to go for a second round.
The thought pushed out all the shyness from her stubborn personality and she immediately pulled the cover down and snuck her head out before moving her hand towards her lower body to pull out the snake piercing her lower body.
"NO... I can-can't go on anymore. I'm too tired. My back is hurting and even my...that...that part is in pain too."
Zach didn't stop her actions and enjoyed her spooked reaction as she warily pulled out his member and turned to look at him in an extremely cute manner like a bunny that was trying to look pitiful so that the hunter would spare its life.
"I feel so sad that you would say that. I was REALLY looking forward to the second round too."
Diana felt worried after listening to his words and couldn't dare to look him in the eyes for a while but then she felt that something was wrong. Zach wasn't someone who would impose his will on anyone, let alone her.
She immediately raised her lowered head and glared straight at him.
It was then that she found him snickering smugly after teasing her.
"You...y-you..." Diana was unable to find the words to express the feelings she had at that moment. While she was worried about disappointing Zach, the latter was enjoying himself watching her fumbling around in worry.
She really wanted to punch him in the gut to wipe that smirk off his face, but she couldn't bring herself to execute that move despite the itch she was feeling in her hands.
"But seriously...you really don't want to do it?" asked Zach in all seriousness as he hid his foolish grin after seeing Diana act in such a manner.
Diana couldn't decipher what Zach truly wanted. Was he really disappointed or was he just acting to make fun of her? She wanted to say no right away but there was no way she could handle his disappointment after earning his affection after so long. She just wanted to make sure that her relationship with him would last for a long time.
"I...I...really want to do it but I am sore all over. I am tired and my body...it has no strength at all. I can barely move."
Diana uttered the truth in the desperate hope that Zach would be understanding of her limitations.
Unlike his other women, her physical capability was too lacking. She couldn't put up with similar strain as them as they had heightened physiques already; Luna because she was a succubus and could increase her strength through such activities and Christina because the mana in her body had naturally strengthened her from the inside out, at least compared to a weak mage like her.
Zach could tell that Diana was getting increasingly nervous. Obviously, he knew what a girl's first time was like and he wouldn't want to cause her any kind of harm knowing the condition she was in. He was just playing around with her and didn't actually want to engage in such an act right after her first time.
She needed to rest properly in order to recover first.
Just as Diana was about to agree to a second round despite how tired she was, Zach burst into a boisterous laugh. Even his eyes were smiling as he lovingly stared at Diana for being the cute woman that she was.
Diana felt like a fool for falling into his trap all over again and glared at Zach murderously. She really felt like strangling him before storming out of the room. Unfortunately, her legs were like jelly at the moment, and she was worried that she wouldn't even be able to walk on her own for a while.
"You are too sweet." whispered Zach in a honeyed tone as he brought his mouth infinitely closer to her ear. His whispers blew air in her ear, heating up her body like a furnace.
Even though Zach meant to tease her for being gullible, Diana felt like he was flirting with her, and her body temperature began to rise.
"Humph~"
Diana snorted and turned her head away from Zach in order to calm down her racing heart from running about like a wild horse inside her chest.
"Knowing that it was my first time, how could you be so insensitive? Can't you be more...more..." Diana felt exasperated and couldn't figure out what she wanted to say to him.
She didn't know previously that Zach could be so childish. She had never seen him act that way before. He was either too aloof or too mature for her but now she was seeing him in a different light.
She wondered if this was the true him or if there was even more that she had yet to explore about his personality and habits. She wanted the mystery to never end as she slowly figured out every bit about him.
"More...what?" asked Zach playfully as he grabbed her chin between his index finger and thumb and slowly tilted her head towards himself.
"More loving..." her voice came out as low as that of a mosquito compared to what she had imagined it would sound like. Zach's actions had flustered her completely.
Zach had trouble trying to understand what she was saying as she was barely audible to him. But he still tried his best and managed to catch the words that escaped her mouth and acted as if he hadn't heard her at all.
"More WHAT? I couldn't hear you clearly. A bit louder this time." Zach asked once again to goad her into saying it again.
"I said, 'More understanding'." answered Diana loudly this time, after gathering a bit of her lost courage.
"I don't think that's what you said earlier."
His words acted as a catalyst, instantly igniting the simmering fury within her, much like pouring gasoline onto a raging fire. In an instant, the blaze of her anger erupted, as if threatening to devour everything in its path.
Her eyes glared at him with an intensity that suggested not just anger but an almost palpable intent for retribution.
"B*stard, you heard everything clearly, didn't you?" Diana roared as she launched herself into his chest like an unhinged rocket and almost smashed his fragile ribs into a million fragments.
Although she only intended to hide her face from him in embarrassment, he got scared for his life for a moment.
Zach hugged her tightly as if he wanted to absorb her completely in his body while laughing all along.
When she was done enjoying his embrace, she finally pulled herself free from his body and bent her neck back to stare at his face with a somber expression.
She was wondering what he might be thinking about her.
Did he think that she was too emotional or was he comparing her to his other women?
There were a thousand thoughts circling in her head, but she couldn't bring herself to ask him those questions fearing the answers she might receive in return. Silence was the best policy, but it was proving to be an equally arduous task.
The silence in the room was broken by Zach this time. But his tone was no longer playful or mysterious like before. Instead, it was clear and straightforward, without any fallacy.
"Diana"
"Hmm~"
"Jokes aside, I want to discuss something with you."
"Mmm~"
"Does your body feel any different from before?" Zach sounded like an experienced interviewer instead of her lover and Diana inferred that Zach wasn't pulling any prank on her this time. He seriously wanted to discuss something with her.
"I don't know. I feel sore, everywhere hurts. My legs are worse than jelly especially. Is that what you want to ask?" Diana thought that Zach was concerned about her bodily condition and wanted to confirm her physical health.
"No, that's not what I meant." Zach shook his head vigorously in response.
"Then what?" Diana felt curious as to why Zach was probing so much.
"Have you sensed any alterations in your body?"
