Chapter 244 Greed.
Nino's words struck Sam at a very sensitive place. He felt exposed, and his chest was filled with a strong sense of disgust directed at none other than himself.
It was true that he did at one point consider the Valkyries as nothing more than playthings. Back then he was under the belief that they were nothing but robots, and ones created for the sexual pleasure of men at that. He didn't care about their feelings and just wanted to toy with them as he wished, but a lot of things have changed since then.
[... So you're jealous after all, huh, Nino?...]
"Eh?"
His desire to sleep with the Valkyries was still as strong as it was back when he couldn't even dream of laying a finger on them. Now that he was in a position to access each and every one of them, he planned on using that privilege to its limits.
It would be hypocritical of him to say that he was now a changed man, and that he could love every last Valkyrie all the same when there are hundreds of them if he included the Nephilim.
Just the other day he promised himself that he would enjoy each of the Valkyries that went with him on this mission. He had no intention of holding back, and once they returned home he would indulge himself as much as his heart desired.
[Nino, do you hate it when I'm with other girls?] He asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNino didn't answer and only stared at him for a while. It was indeed her intention, but now that their little act had led to a real concern of hers she found herself giving more thought to her answer.
[I… I hate it…] she said. [Sensei already has me! You don't need any of the others!]
[Is that so…] Sam caressed her cheek then slowly leaned toward her, and with small smile on his lips he whispered. [You're quite greedy, aren't you, Nino?]
He sealed her mouth before she could reply, and for a few seconds he enjoyed her struggle to stop the kiss. After a while the young just gave up and closed her eyes, choosing to enjoy it while it lasted.
"Ah!"
When he finally let go of her lips Sam moved to her neck, kissing it gently before licking it a little. Nino's moans were somewhat adorable, and the way she squirmed when he slipped his hand under her shirt helped turn him on even further.
As he was touching her skin directly, Sam guessed that she had removed her battle suit even before they had that conversation earlier. It meant that she intended on asking him to spend the night with her from the start and he was glad he had accepted her request despite having little time on their hands.
[You see, Nino, I'm a greedy man myself…]
"Ahh~?!!"
Sam spoke as his hand massaged the small bumps on her chest, and Nino stopped wasting her time at trying to suppress her gasps and moans, instead putting her focus on every word he said.
[I have a lot of beautiful students –Valkyries– and I can't help but want all of them for myself…]
[Sen… hah… Sensei~? –Doctor–… ahhn~~?
]
[I'm sorry but… I can't be with you alone… but…] pushing himself up, he looked down at the young Valkyrie, her shoulders moving up and down along with her labored breaths. [If you want me to spend more time with you, then all you have to do is show more results…]
[Re…sults?] She asked, looking at him with hazy eyes.
[You still have your reward from the other day, remember?] Pausing for a moment, Sam switched to English, conveying that what he was saying wasn't just a part of the act. "I will take special care of those who put in the effort. If you want to be with me more, all you have to do is stand out."
Sam's desire to sleep with the Valkyries wasn't one sided. He knew that eventually each one of them would want to have her turn, and since he had no intention of sharing them with anyone else he would have to take care of their desires all by himself.
He needed to create some sort of system to ensure that things wouldn't become unfair. And that's where the position of a Personal Valkyrie comes in. Those who wish to be with him have to show their potential during missions, and if their wish was to serve him further then they would be granted the position. A rotation would allow each one of them to have a go every once in a while, and in case that wasn't enough, they would have to compete for more time with him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course he would still pick any Valkyrie that suits his fancy whenever he wants, even if she hadn't proved herself, but those with the title will be granted priority.
[I knew it...] Nino said, pouting. [In the end… hah… in the end you're going to treat me the same… as the others…. In your eyes I'm… hahh… I'm not special at all…]
At that moment Sam felt a hint of annoyance. He understood that, no matter what he said, the Japanese doll would never change her position. He doesn't blame her for feeling the way she does, but what she wants from him is directly against his own desires. He didn't want to think that way, but in the end he simply couldn't give up on all of the other Valkyries just to be with one, no matter how special she was.
[I… I want you to pay more attention to me…] Nino said, her innocent gaze erasing the negative thoughts he had and trapping him in her enchantment. [I want to be the only one for sensei! Because I… because I…] stopping for a moment, Nino finally spoke her true feelings. "Because I love you, Doctor!"
Sam was astonished for a moment, his eyes going wide. He felt his heart skip a beat even though he no longer had the organ, and as he stared down at the young Valkyrie he felt himself strangely attracted to her, even more than before.
He went down and took her lips, this time going for a deep kiss right from the get go. He only stopped to strip her of her clothes, not giving her the time to think about anything. He took his off as well, and in a matter of seconds the two of them were naked as they continued to make out on the bed.
"Nino, I'm happy you feel that way about me." He said. "You might not believe it, but you hold a special place in my heart. I will always be there for you if you need me, and I'm sure you'll do your best so you can remain by my side."
"Doctor…"
As their lips met again, Nino couldn't help but go through everything he said again. Soon enough she accepted the reality of her situation.
She was nothing but a single Valkyrie, one of many. Her feelings alone weren't going to make her a special existence to him and because of that she would have to work much harder than any of the others, all so that she could distinguish herself from the rest and stand proudly by his side.
