Wiping the blood off with your hands

Nick was faced with the first major roadblock of his date. After the confrontation in the middle of the spa, he had at least managed to figure out his goal today- he was going to try and have a serious relationship with Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin and form a genuine connection with her, based on mutual interests and having fun, as opposed to her overpowering lust for him.

That was the goal. But the first obstacle was that they’d be getting into a hot spring together. And knowing the assassin, she was probably going to make a move. In fact, she had a transformation now that would all but compel it.

Nick remembered that Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin had a transformation that compelled her to make physical contact with people, particularly him. She wanted to be close to him, and she wasn’t exactly keeping him at arms’ length before she got it, either.

So as he stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist, he was keenly aware of what he was walking into, and the fact that Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin would definitely be trying to put the moves on him. In her own crazy way.

Imagine his surprise when he discovered he was the first one out, then.

Unless she’s already here, he realized as he stepped into the water, looking cautiously around him. The assassin could be hiding just about anywhere. She’s probably posed, ready to strike right now. Just looking for the perfect opportunity.

That was a sobering thought if there ever was one. But he couldn’t let that get to him. He had to treat this as a normal date, and he had to treat Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin as if she was just a normal girl, someone who he was trying to get to know on a deeper, more intimate level.

If he couldn’t do that, then what was even the point of having a relationship with her? If he kept treating her as just a mute killing machine, then they’d never get anywhere.

So instead of acting paranoid and suspicious like hunted prey, he just dropped the towel and sank down to his chest in the hot spring, letting out a long sigh as he felt the tension drain away from his body and into the mineral water.

That was the good thing about these baths. They really washed away the stress.

He was so relaxed that by the time the screen door slid open, he didn’t even panic. No flinch or jump, no nothing, just a turn of the head to see Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin stroll out onto the cobblestones, completely naked.

She had a sly smile on her flushed cheeks, and her eyes landed on him immediately. For a second, he thought she was going to pounce. But instead, she gingerly stepped into the water, and approached him as naturally as could be.

Nick relaxed as she drew near, letting his guard down. Even though he was with Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin, he knew this was the right call. It wasn’t like she was going to hurt him; any pouncing she did would be purely sexual in nature. And even though he wasn’t completely sold on that, either…

He wasn’t going to push her away until he had to. He wanted them to be as normal of a couple as they could be, and that meant accepting the assassin’s more unique quirks and issues as they arose. If he couldn’t do that, then they would never be able to make a serious relationship work out between the two of them.

Nick couldn’t just change everything about her. He needed to accept her for who she was on some level, and that’s what he was trying to do.

“How do you like the water?” He asked, and when she perked up it brought a smile to his lips. Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin stared wide-eyed at him for a second, and then her smile deepened and she quickly nodded. Nick decided that must have meant she liked it quite a bit, which brought a smile to his lips.

“I’m glad to hear that,” he said, leaning back against the rocky edge of the hot spring. “This is a nice place to come, to relax.”

She nodded again. He noticed that even though the assassin was keeping her distance, her eyes never left him. She followed him slowly with her gaze, like she was watching him.

Well… he could live with that.

“I’m glad you like it,” Nick continued. It was a lot of work, trying to hold up both sides of the conversation, but if Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin was okay with that, then he could handle it as well. “I really should come here more often. This is twice in two days, and I’ve gotta say, with how sore and exhausted I’ve been feeling lately…”

His voice trailed off as he realized that the content of this conversation wasn’t exactly where he wanted it to be right now. He wasn’t even sure if bringing up other women was the right thing or not- but probably not.

After all- Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin wasn’t someone who played nicely with others.

But that did give him a good inroad to make conversation.

“I saw you in the challenge,” he said. “You were really cool, leaping out of the shadows like that and taking everybody down!”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s ears twitched and her eyes widened slightly. She leaned in close, listening intently to what he was saying while she studied him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Nick continued, “I mean, you took out Morgana and Dawn like it was nothing, then you took out Kim and Sylvia… it took pretty much every girl there to take you out, that was so cool!” He wasn’t sure if flattery was the way to go or not, but he figured it was worth a try. Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin was clearly very proud of her abilities as a killer, and playing to that by stroking her ego a bit couldn’t hurt.

And judging by the way she held her head up with pride and preened herself, he seemed to be right on the money.

“I guess that umbrella of yours is pretty useful, huh?” He added.

The assassin nodded boastfully. She didn’t have her umbrella with her in the pool, thank god- Dakota had taken care of that by changing the rules once again. But he could tell by the way she carried herself that it wasn’t a problem.

“I was wondering if maybe you could teach me some of that stuff, so I could do it myself?” Nick suggested. “You know, that martial arts stuff. When I was a little kid, I always imagined learning karate or something so I could kick people’s butts, but I never really stuck with it.”

He wasn’t just trying to fish for a connection here; as a kid, he really had wanted to learn martial arts. Even once he’d moved past that edgy phase of his life and grown out of the “If I’m tough and badass then chicks will dig me” complex most teenage boys go through, he still found the idea of learning martial arts to be cool.

But to his surprise, Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin didn’t look that excited about the idea. She had a doubtful expression on her face and puffed up her cheeks, looking unconvinced.

“Wh-what? Is something wrong?” Nick looked down at himself. Thanks to some help from Dani and a bit of inspiration (as well as a schedule so packed he barely had any time to slack off these days) he’d managed to work off most of the excess weight he’d carried with him to the island, but he could admit he still wasn’t in the best shape ever. “You don’t think I can handle it?”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head.

Nick sighed again. “Yeah… I thought as much.”

The assassin’s eyes widened, and for a moment a look of panic flashed across her face. She bit her lip and looked around warily, before scooching a little closer to him.

Then she stood up, towering over Nick in the water and looking down at him with a piercing glare in her eyes.

She shook her head again.

Okay… judging by the sudden escalation, Nick was starting to think that his guess was way off.

“So… it’s not that, then?” He asked, just to make sure.

She shook her head firmly again.

“Then… you just don’t want to train me? Is that it?” Nick had thought it would be a good opportunity for them to bond over something she genuinely seemed to enjoy, but if she wasn’t okay with it, then…

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin shook her head again, and then pointed at herself. She glared fiercely at him, wearing a look on her face that seemed to say she absolutely wasn’t going to back down from this.

It took Nick a second to register what she was getting at.

“Wait… are you saying you don’t want to teach me martial arts… because that’s your job?” He took a stab in the dark.

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s eyes widened, and she nodded fiercely. Apparently, she had no intention of giving up her position as Nick’s protector- not even to Nick himself.

That was so cute! He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Aww… you don’t have to be like that!” Nick shook his head, chuckling. “It’s fine. Really. I mean… you and I, we’re… we’re fine. I’m happy to rely on you for your strength, if that’s what you want me to do,” he assured her.

She let out a silent sigh of relief and nodded in affirmation. She crossed her arms over her chest and plopped back down to eye level. It was only then that Nick realized she was practically sitting in his lap- and they were both naked.

Nick stared at her. She stared back at him. Then her eyes slowly drifted down to his collarbone, and lower… and she licked her lips.

Before Nick could get another word out, she lunged forward and grabbed him, burying her lips into his neck and practically sinking her teeth into him like a vampire. She was sucking on his skin while her arms snaked around him, holding him close and digging her fingers into his back tightly.

“H-hey! Come on, it’s fine!” Nick protested, trying to pry her off of him. “I get it, okay, you’re feeling… yeah, I know! I’m feeling it too, alright?”

She wrapped her hand around his cock, her fingers holding him firmly.

Touched the Master’s Penis! +2 VP

Nick was making a **** case to get her to stop, but it was clear she didn’t want to listen. And then he realized that his pleas were worse than falling on deaf ears.

He was actually making things actively worse by talking to her, because everything he was saying only served to turn her on more.

But he couldn’t let her distract him with pleasure, no matter how good she was making him feel right now.

“Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin, stop!” Nick shouted at the top of his lungs. He didn’t want to sound angry, and really hoped he didn’t. But judging by the expression on her face, it didn’t really matter one way or the other. Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin looked at him in alarm, her eyes wide and confused.

She didn’t let go of his cock, either, and he could definitely feel it.

“Look… I know you want to do… stuff like that,” Nick said softly. He wasn’t sure if he lowering his voice would have any effect, but he had to try something. “But I want to have a real date with you, okay? Without the physical stuff.”

She pouted, looking insistently at him.

“Wh-what? You… you think it’s okay if the two of us do it anyway?” He questioned. Trying to understand what Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin wanted from him wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, given her weaknesses with communicating.

She nodded firmly. That, at least, was easy to understand.

Nick bit his lip. The way she was rubbing his shaft, it was making a really compelling argument.

“…Fine,” he relented with a sigh. In spite of how worn-out he’d gotten from the night before, he couldn’t help the fact that he was getting hard. Some things were just natural. If Nick wanted to make a real connection with the assassin, then the first course of business was evidently going to be this.

“But we’re going to do it my way.”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin blinked, and looked at him questioningly. Her hand stopped.

“You’re right,” he continued, looking into her eyes. “We don’t need to forego sexual stuff completely to have a real connection.”

She nodded.

“So let’s get started then. I’m sorry to say though… this is going to be a bit one-sided, on my part.” Nick placed his hand over hers as she looked questioningly at him. She tilted her head to the side.

“…Last night was pretty exhausting,” Nick said, guiding her gently off his shaft. Now that he had confirmed that sexual stuff wasn’t off the table, she was willing to comply. “I don’t have a lot of energy left. I’d like to conserve it for tonight. Would that be okay with you?”

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin stared quietly at him, and nodded again. The edge of her lips turned up slightly into a grin.

“So… would it be alright if I pleasured you, then?” Nick asked. He thought that it was a pretty good compromise for the situation.

After all… Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin was the sticking point here. Her arousal was the one going into overdrive thanks to his voice, and there was a way he could fix that.

“Climb up here,” he said, gesturing to the edge of the hot spring. “Sit down?”

One of the better parts about the assassin was that she didn’t need to be told twice. When she was interested in the same goals, she was great at following orders, and she happily hopped to her feet and sat down above him on the pool.

“Spread… oh, never mind,” Nick said, blushing as he saw Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin gladly follow his orders, spreading her legs and revealing her tight pussy to his eyes. Her lips were engorged and juicy, and Nick was pretty sure it wasn’t all hot spring water dripping down there.

She brought a finger down to her depths and tucked it in, a silent moan escaping her lips. Then she brought it to her mouth and sucked on it saucily, letting out more unheard moans as she traced her glossy puckers like she was trying to apply lipstick.

Man. Nick was really considering ignoring his previous suggestion and just going all-in on her right here. But he decided to put her pleasure first. He crouched down, placing his hands gingerly on her thighs and pulling them a little wider. He leaned forward, and brought his tongue to her steaming nethers.

Damn. She really tasted amazing. Like vanilla ice cream, with a slight mineral taste thanks to the waters of the hot spring. It was addicting! He doubted that Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin could use her nanomachines to amplify how her juices tasted, but the way things were going, he wasn’t so sure that wasn’t the case, either.

Or maybe she was just artificially designed to taste amazing. Which was a whole other troubling thought.

As Nick continued licking her, he dipped his tongue deeper inside, and felt her squirm and writhe around him. That was a good sign. Normally, he would be using pleas of “Yes” or “Right there” or what not from the girls he serviced in order to guide his performance, but Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin was a silent partner in this.

So he had to rely on how her lower body was responding, and act in response.

Without hearing her moans in his ear, he could really tune in to how her lower lips were squirming. He put all of his focus onto her body, trying to work her up and get her over the edge as fast as he could. And then he realized he had another potent tool in his arsenal.

“You taste amazing,” he said, switching to his fingers to give his tongue a break. He dug deeper into her and pushed his fingers up against a spot that seemed particularly sensitive, because she clenched down on him so hard he practically tore him off down to the second knuckle.

For a moment, Nick wondered if Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin could control herself even down there.

He wasn’t about to ask her, though.

“I’m serious, touching you like this is amazing. Your body, it’s so tight and flawless,” he continued, raising his head and gazing up into her eyes. At least, he tried to anyway.

Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin wasn’t exactly looking at him right now, her head was flailing around and her bright blue eyes were spinning in her skull as she shook and shivered like a leaf, clinging on tightly to him as she fought back silent moans.

Her fingers gripped onto the stone, and she squeezed tightly until her knuckles turned white. As Nick increased the intensity of his fingers, trying to work her all the way to the end, he could tell that his words were getting to her.

Normally he was on the receiving end of the dirty talk, so he wasn’t the best at saying things that would turn a girl on. But with Augmented Synthetic Humanoid Assassin’s All the Better to Hear You With transformation, it was kind of like playing on easy mode- every word that passed his lips seemed to send another spasm through her body, and her arms shot out and snatched him by the shoulders tightly.

She flung her head forward, staring wildly at him with her bright blue eyes. Her mouth formed words that never got spoken, as she moaned unheard pleas that echoed through his skull.

It almost looked like she was saying “I’m cumming!” but he knew that was impossible. She wouldn’t even know how to form the words.

But her body did all the talking for her.

“Cum for me,” he urged her, picking up speed as best he could. “Come on, just a little bit more! So go on, cum!”

Her body shook and twitched, and her face morphed into a look of pure pleasure as her spasms nearly knocked her into the water with him. He felt her flooding over his hand, and she seemed to stiffen up like a board.

Then she slumped over, completely burned out. She panted silently as she looked into his eyes, and a soft smile touched her lips as she basked in the afterglow.

Nick was glad to see her like that. He really shouldn’t have fought it so hard. She was right; they could connect on a deeper level, and he could still give her some pleasure. The two things didn’t have to be mutually exclusive!

He was glad that she’d showed him that.

Now if only the rest of the date could go as perfectly as this moment they shared in the hot spring had gone, that would be just amazing.
