It wasn’t like I hadn’t once brought my soul closer to Sapphire’s in the past. I knew that I could do it to some extent without going so far physically. However, such an act decreased the gap between souls. It brought us close together, and I wasn’t going to take Terra or Sapphire’s life on chance. The feeling of losing Terra had nearly caused me to break. Now that I knew she was safe, I would do anything to protect her. Anything included exactly what I was going to do now.


    “Wait... this...” Sapphire protested as I put her on the bed.


    I stopped just as quickly as I had started, taking a step back. “Do you not want to do this?”


    Sapphire’s eyes widened in surprise. “Y-you stopped?”


    My mouth twitched. “What kind of guy do you think I am? I’m going to do anything you don’t want me to do.”


    “R-really? But you don’t always ask the girls. I’ve heard... you’ll just push them down and have your way with them!”


    I frowned, tapping my head. “They’re my slaves. I’m a Slave Master. With Slave Empath, I know how the girls are feeling at any given moment. I don’t usually need to ask to know how they’re feeling and whether they have a problem with me. I’ve never touched anyone who didn’t want it.”


    “Th-then... my feelings are...”


    “I don’t know your feelings.’ I gave an awkward smile. “You forget, you don’t just have your soul, but Terra’s soul as well. She’s bonded as my slave just as much as you, but your feelings are crossed, so if you want me to know what you want, you’ll have to tell me yourself.”


    “You don’t know how I feel?”


    I shook my head. “I don’t!”


    “Shouldn’t it be obvious?” She asked. “I’ve been in love with you since Twilight dungeon.”


    “Really?”


    “You treated the people made in that dungeon like real people. It didn’t matter to you whether they were part of this lore or another one. At first, I told myself you were just being kind. However, I saw you fight, love, and even risk your life for even just a fragment of lore. When the mermaid princess died and I saw how upset you are, I knew...”


    I had been so wrapped up in my issues at that time, I hadn’t even noticed. I did remember that when I took Carmine to bed shortly after, she had started teasing me about joining. Had she been looking at me that long?


    “I’m sorry I didn’t notice.”


    She shook her head. “Don’t be... at the time, I wasn’t sure if I even wanted you to know my true feelings. I am now, though...”


    “If you’re certain now, why do you hesitate?” I asked.


    She blushed. “It’s just... in the past, I had never had a childhood. That’s why I always acted so promiscuous. I drank, flirted, and joked around because part of me never really believed I was the real me. Does that make sense?”


    “Sort of...” It wasn’t like I knew exactly what she meant, but essentially when you didn’t have a childhood, you didn’t cherish purity or innocence.


    When you weren’t even sure who you were, it was easy to act more recklessly. Now that she had a family she remembered, and a life, and responsibilities, she didn’t feel as reckless as before. Since she had no experience with any of them, she wasn’t sure how to act.


    “Huh? Really?”


    “It’s... okay... since I missed so much of my childhood, at least... I can remember the feeling of my first time.”


    “Okay...”


    I began to move my hips, slowly moving in and out of her. I took my time, listening for any cries of pain or discomfort.


    “Harder!” she cried out.


    I turned my head for a second and then nodded. If that was what she wanted, I’d oblige. I grabbed her hips and pushed into her, taking her deeply as she wanted.


    “Ahhhn! Yes...”


    With her groaning and encouragement, I started to pick up the pace, slamming my cock into her over and over again, my speeding increasing.


    She groaned as I picked up the pace, slamming over and over again into her. If I pushed into her without holding onto her body, I’d surely knock her right out of the bed.


    “Rougher!” She demanded.


    This was the little girl who was worried that I’d squash her? Wasn’t she far too reckless with her body? I grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her back as I fuck her. She let out moans of pleasure as I began to act roughly with her, thrusting into her body like I was a hammer and she was the anvil.


    That would be a proper metaphor for the feel. We had melded metal together before, and even here we were like one unit. As I began to imagine such a feeling, I could sense our souls starting to come together. My dick slammed forward with loud thwack noises, pounding her, molding her to my shape. In response, she moaned and cried, but she never wanted to stop for a moment.


    Our lovemaking was extremely vigorous, and I felt myself sweating as much as I did when we were in front of a forge. Her body and my body moved as one, harder and faster. I shaped her body, and she shaped mine. After some time, I felt out soul’s touch, and a poured my life into her.


    “C-cumming!” The pair of us shouted in unison.


    During that moment, we had merged almost like we were one. Our souls were getting closer and closer, but then at some point, I felt like I had struck something, and my soul was shoved away with a snap. At that moment, my body collapsed next to Sapphire. For just a few moments, I had felt like we were the same person. I could feel what she felt, and she could feel what I felt, but it was gone in the next moment.


    “M-master...” Her panting voice came from next to me.


    “Mm?”


    “Now... you need to go a second round... for Terra.” She boldly declared.


    My eyes widened, and then I let out a laugh. “Is that so?”


    She looked away. “You need to please both of us.”


    “Then, I guess I can’t quit now!” I jumped back on her, going from the front this time.


    It turned out that there was nothing to worry about. Sapphire was still Sapphire, after all.
