Eros's Heartfelt Surrender

During that time, I'm sorry for acting so mischievously……. “Eros, I'll return your Dragon Heart now.” I desperately pressed my lips together, intending to give the Dragon Heart back. Whether it would actually work or not, I just went for it—and while I was at it, to fix that arrogant personality of hers.

“W-what do you mean— Haaum……?!” Eros struggled weakly, both horns firmly gripped in my hands. The situation had completely reversed from moments ago. Perhaps because the status ailment Weakness had lifted? I felt my strength gradually returning. My stamina had recovered enough to easily overpower her now, probably thanks to the power of the Love-attribute Dragon Heart. This force felt closer to primal instinct than anything resembling love.

Moreover, Eros's horns—her weakness—were currently held captive. No matter how sensitive the spot was, she couldn't exert any strength at all. ‘The one who swung that heavy mace so lightly… is now groaning while caught in a mere ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠human's hands?’ And with a face that somehow looked like she was enjoying it. Even though her horns were being forcibly grabbed, her expression was flushed for some reason. Watching her stirred strange emotions inside me.

‘Ah, I mustn't forget the original purpose.’ Returning the Dragon Heart I never particularly wanted. I intended to give it back to its rightful owner. I hadn't asked for it in the first place. And above all…… ‘As expected, the other girls would mind, right? If I keep something like this, I'll obviously be suspected.’

I already belonged to others—Derke, Sofia, Raylin. Those three pricked at my conscience. A simple Dragon's Pact might have been one thing, but any more Love Pacts felt burdensome. I didn't ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠have the confidence to deceive them for a lifetime. If they ever found out I'd formed a Love Pact with Eros, what would happen to me?

—Shiver shiver…! Just imagining it sent a chill down my spine. First burned by Raylin, then having my soul stolen by Derke, only for Sofia to forcibly purify that soul. Complete annihilation, both body and mind. The thought terrified me.

—Chuuup, smack…! That was why I continued the kiss even more desperately, trying to return Eros's Dragon Heart.

“Hauut-♡ I-I can't breathe….” Just like Eros had done to me earlier, I tangled our tongues together and deepened the kiss. —Gulp, gulp…! At the same time, I contracted and relaxed my throat, desperately trying to draw the Dragon Heart back up from where it had flowed down.

—Kwaaaak…! I tightened my grip on her horns. Even with her weakness suppressed, she wasn't completely without resistance. —Twitch! Twitch! Eros kept panting and twisting beneath me, her hands pushing against my chest. I had to pin her down properly. One moment of carelessness and she might flip the situation again.

“Hauut…♡ T-Teacher? Y-you're too rough-! It feels like my mind is flying away……♥” The moment her horns were seized, Eros's attitude flipped completely. She trembled, wearing a melting expression. Her purple pupils looked ready to reshape into hearts. —Tremble tremble……. Her eyes had rolled back halfway, proof of how intense the stimulation was.

‘Her reactions are way too explicit……?’ The sight sent hot blood rushing through my body, pooling in my lower abdomen against my will. That aside…… How was I supposed to return it? If things continued like this, a kiss alone wouldn't be enough.

—Chuuup, chuuup, smack, haaap…! Chuuup-♡ Tongues intertwined, the deep kiss stretched on for minutes. No matter how hard I concentrated, nothing happened. Forget the Dragon Heart—only sticky saliva and heated breaths escaped. I had no idea how to give it back. It felt like the instinctive desire I had barely been holding back might slip out because of the Love-attribute Dragon Heart.

I'd thought simply pressing our lips together and focusing would suffice, but it wasn't that easy. No, concentration itself was impossible. Reason dulled while strength gathered below. Addicted to the soft, smooth sensation, I kept seeking only Eros's lips.

‘Well, returning a Dragon Heart was never going to be simple…….’ Even dragons struggled to materialize one. How could a human like me possibly manage it……? I must have been mistaken from the start. Though I'd acted on impulse, the failure left only a strange anxiety in its place.

“Haa, hoo, heuk, huaang─♥” As expected, the result of my reckless action was intensely stimulating. Eros lay beneath me, our bodies and lips pressed together, looking utterly disheveled. Her purple hair was a mess from the fierce kiss. Even after our lips parted, her moist tongue kept moving, craving more. Her eyes were half-unfocused from having her horns held. She gazed at me with a seductive look, forcibly lifting her pleasure-trembling lashes.

—Drip……. A sticky, transparent thread stretched between us. When I briefly pulled away, her hot dragon breath brushed my cheek. ‘This scene is more dangerous than I thought.’ Below that, her pure white naked body was spread out. The one who had seemed like nothing more than an arrogant kid now revealed distinctly feminine curves—moderately full breasts, smooth skin, hips spread wide in invitation while trembling with pleasure. The sight of that snow-white naked form was dizzying to face with a clear mind.

If it were up to me, I wanted to leave my mark on that pristine skin, like footprints pressed into fresh snow. —Squeeze…! Even Eros's hands, which had been pushing me away at first, now wrapped around my back and tried to pull me closer, as if begging me not to let go. ‘This… I really might not be able to hold back……?’ Just like yesterday in the temple, the thread of reason was on the verge of snapping.

‘Dragon's Allure? Why now……?’ At the very moment I was barely clinging to reason, an unexpected message appeared. Instead of returning the Dragon Heart, it had settled inside me and begun functioning ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠on its own.

“Haa-♡ Teacher? What are you doing…? After getting me all worked up like this……♥” Eros looked at me with a seductive expression, her pupils fully shaped into hearts. The Dragon's Allure that had activated without my intent seemed to have taken hold of her.

“Hmm…? Eros?” “Weren't you going to discipline me thoroughly? Why stop in the middle-? Don't tell me I have no charm……?” She gazed up with pitiful eyes, her voice dripping with heat. Sticky and coquettish, as if trying to act cute. Anxious that I might not embrace her, her voice trembled even more than before. Getting caught in her own ability? It was truly unsightly. Yet this side of her felt so very Eros-like that it was almost endearing.

‘Damn…….’ The original goal had been returning the Dragon Heart. Now that it had failed, calmly speaking, stopping here would be the right choice. “……”

But both of us were already far too heated. Stopping now would leave things unbearably awkward. If I hadn't accepted her Dragon Heart in the first place, maybe I could have brushed it off lightly.

“T-Teacher…? Please don't make such a cold expression……” “Hmm?” Even while flushed with excitement, Eros seemed to read my intentions and suddenly switched to polite honorifics. The sight of her speaking so respectfully felt unfamiliar, yet strangely tickled something in my chest.

“P-please don't let me go like this……. Okay? Teacher? I'll beg you properly♡” Still pinned by her horns, Eros continued pleading. The same girl who had roughly demanded to be released earlier was now begging the opposite—don't let go.

“Gulp…!” Reason and instinct waged a fierce tug-of-war inside me. But the conflict didn't last long.

“I… a-actually, I've liked you ever since I first met you in the dormitory♥ I'm sorry for acting so mischievously all this time……. Ah, from now on I'll listen well… so please don't let me go, okay? Please……♡” “Eros……?” She rarely showed such sincerity, pleading earnestly for me to embrace her with all my heart.

“My purity that I've kept for 350 years and my Dragon Heart… I'll give them all to you, Teacher……. S-so please……” Then she spread both arms wide, eyes glistening as she silently asked for a hug. —Sob sob…! Thick tears welled up, afraid I might stop. They traced down her flushed cheeks while her horns remained gripped like handles.

‘This is dangerous. No matter what, I can't cross any further than this…….’

Ah, this won't do. For her to want me so sincerely… I really couldn't help but show her what adult love truly meant.
