Chapter 95: Travelling together

Cassandra and Luka have both signed the Covenant of Fellowship. Though Ember considered that they were not competent when they signed, she still considered them members of their base.

When they woke up, if they chose not to go with them, they would not fault them for it. This was something she and Aiden did on their own. If they remembered signing, they would let them know. If they did not, they would ask if they were willing to follow them.

The choice would be up to the two of them.

Ember looked at the two people covered in fluids and shook her head. Even now, they were still wrapped up with each other. Then she looked at Aiden, who refused to let her go.

“We need to go back to your own room.” She struggled in his arms.

“Just wait. I can still feel it closing around me. Let me enjoy this for a while.”

Ember knew exactly what ’it’, he was referring to. She sighed, wondering whether she was right to admit she had feelings for him. If he could let his cock sleep inside her every day, he would.

When he was finally sated, Ember and Aiden sauntered back to their rooms, naked. They made sure to leave some water for Cassandra and Luka to use.

Everyone was having their own orgy; no one would care whether they were naked or not. They also wanted to get back to sleep. Since they had nothing to do for the day, they would spend it resting.

They only woke up when there came a knock on the door. Outside stood Cassandra and Luka. Ember opens the door bleary-eyed. She opens it wide before walking back and flopping onto the bed.

Aiden welcomed them in while tucking Ember back into bed.

He led them over to the couch and told them to sit.

“How are you feeling?” Aiden asked.

They both looked embarrassed and hesitant to speak.

“You don’t need to be embarrassed. We’re all adults here who made our own choices.” Aidne spoke very plainly; he had no intention os sugarcoating anything. “So why did you come here? I’m sure you have something to say.”

He waited for them to gather the courage to speak.

“We wanted to know what happened to us,” Luka stated.

“We can remember what happened in the room. The glowing scroll, everything,” Cassandra said.

“Good. It’s good that you remember. If you didn’t, we wouldn’t remind you,” Aiden shrugged. “As for what happened. It’s because of the rain. You were exposed to the rain. It changed your DNA, the easiest way to say. Right now, you should feel stronger than before.”

Luka and Cassandra nodded. They remembered that Luka almost tore the bathroom door off its hinges.

“So, your body has changed. As for the contract. It’s because the rain limits your body’s potential. If before, your potential allowed you to lift 1000kg because of the rain, you would stop at 500 kg. The contract we gave you was to mitigate those factors.”

“It is also the mark of our base.” Aiden lifted his hand, showing the small, almost nonexistent sigil on his wrist. He gestured for them to look at their wrists as well.

“If you decide you want to join us, that’s entirely up to you. We won’t pressure you. If you decide you don’t want to, we won’t stop you.” His expression became serious, and he lowered his voice. “If you join us, I want you to know, betrayal is not an option.”

He leaned back in his seat, allowing them the chance to make their decision. His eyes travelled to both of them before getting up. He was only wearing a pair of shorts. Just like Ember, he had only just gotten out of bed.

He left them to their own devices and went to check the buckets. If he found any that were full, he would switch them out. More than once, Aiden thought to himself that he was happy to be able to help Ember. He still thought of the CE as hers, so he did not use it often.

He had almost the same permissions as Ember. She had the CE give him equal permissions. It showed her trust in him. So he was able to buy things from the mall, check the space, check his stats, as well as her own. He had access to the base and could see the merits of the base members.

Ember could revoke these priviledges but he could not deprive her of her privileges.

When he came back from checking the buckets, he saw the couple still sitting there. They were no longer in deep conversation. They appeared to be waiting for him.

He sat back in his seat, waiting for their reply.

“We’ll join,” Luka said.

Aiden smiled. He had expected they would. If not for safety, then he thought they would do so because of Luka’s problem.

“That’s great. And just so you know, you will definitely love the base. There are a few people you could play with, if you so choose.”

“What do you mean by play with?” Cassandra asked, uncertainty in her eyes.

Aiden’s eyes flickered to her. His eyes roamed her body. “Play,” he said again, eyes flitting to Luka, “just like we just did.”

“I guess this is something you should know. Our base uses sex and emotions as fuel. Just like other bases would use wind or fossil fuels. Our fuel is sex.”

Aiden shook his head, taking in their shocked faces. “You’ll get used to it eventually. I’m heading back to bed. There isn’t much of anything to do here.”

He slid into bed beside Ember. “Also, maybe you should check on your friends from before. They were exposed to the rain, too. They were having a hell of a time when we went downstairs earlier.” He waved them away, “We’ll talk later.”

Then he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
