Chapter 40: Answers
.................
"Ahh, ok. But why?" Ian was utterly confused. It was as if the plants had noticed something he haven't.
However, they were plants after all, and despite how conscious they may look, they only work on instinct, so they understood nothing of what he said.
Their only action after that was to tighten the two's embrace and make sure every part of her skin is in contact with his.
Unfortunately, Ian was used to leaving very little of his skin shown. He had gloves on, a long-sleeved shirt, and a coat on top of that. The vines didn't try to change that, they were very gentle when in contact with Ian.
'Hmm Ian, what it is that you do when you find yourself confused with something? You just think.' He indeed followed his own advice and started thinking, why is this happening?
'Could it be that I don't actually have life force absorption? Otherwise, why would the plant life of hers act in such a way? It wouldn't actually be seeking its own demise? It would be the opposite.
If it's not that, then why did Selina feel that way, my power shouldn't have anything to do with pleasure, that'd make no sense.
However, when I had one-night stands in my previous world, while my dates often end up passing out, that'd only happen in like 40 minutes into the action.
My dick is big, but not to that degree, I don't have a two-foot snake Excalibur that somehow ends up stretching their bellies or whatever insane shit happens in people's fantasy.
Now that I think about it, they never saw themselves passing out as a bad thing. They just considered it the best night of their lives, and now that my power somehow got stronger, almost causing Selina to pass out with a single kiss...
I've abstained from sex for months unintentionally just because of everything that's happening. I've arrived at such a magical world, so sex was the least of my concerns, but what would happen if I do have sex? Can that even happen without my partner passing out in the first minute??'
The more Ian thought about it, the more his head hurt and the darker his future looked, to the point that he ignored the woman in his arms slightly moving, hugging him tighter as if she found his embrace to be warm salvation for her.
Ian let out a sigh before shaking his head, 'Whatever. I will surely be able to live without sex if it comes to it... I hope.'
Ian did his best to walk to the bed and take a seat despite the lady hugging him limiting his movement.
Perhaps that movement was a little bit too much because as he glanced at her again, he was faced with exceptionally luminous green eyes, staring at him with perplexity.
Her stupor was soon over as her face paled in the realization of her current position. Her confusion turned to fear, then into anger, "Wha!? You! Die!!" Her words were a jumbled mess, all due to the close proximity to him, a man, something she hates.
Death however never came. Her power was that of nature, yet her cries have fallen to deaf ears.
'Oh? So she didn't just gain her power, then what was she doing in the facility?' Ian was understandably a bit confused about that, but what baffled him more is why her power didn't work.
It was like the vines surrounding them suddenly have no consideration for her commands.
She was not only baffled but also fearful, her creamy face paled even further as she ordered again, "Kill him!"
Yet nothing happened again as Ian got distracted just observing her, 'She's real, not just a character of someone's imagination. I guess I didn't give much thought to how I ended up in an imaginary world... Hmm, I will just think about it later, for now.'
Ian just observed as she paled in fear though even that wasn't able to hide a red hue on her cheeks. She was almost shaking as she weakly asked, "What have you done to me? Why can't I move or do anything???"
It was all too much of a shock for her. She could feel her body's weak state and that strange sensation coursing through her.
Her natural assumption was that she was drugged but she knows poison and other chemicals don't work on her, so she was even more bewildered, especially when in consideration that the man before her could just do whatever he wants with her.
Ian raised his brow at that, "You can't move? Well, that's not my fault."
She misunderstood His words which made her more fearsome of the worst as she pleaded, "Please let me go! Or just kill me, please?"
'It seems that she's quite traumatized by men to the point she'd prefer death over my touch... However.'
Ian let out a sigh, "Unfortunately my lady, I am the one who should be making that request. Please let me go."
"What?"
"Please let me go. Those vines of yours are responsible for all of this, so please order them to let me go or something."
"That can't be? You're lying! Just get this over with!"
Ian shook his head, noticing she was too worked up. Her mind was certainly not in the right place, and he couldn't blame her considering her circumstances.
He ignored her and spoke to another thing in the room, "Hi! Dear plants and vines and whatever, mind letting me go? I have a lot to attend you know."
And yet again, nothing changed forcing Ian to shout for the people outside, "Ralf!! Come In."
Ralf was waiting for a cue as he didn't trust whatever supernatural thing the lady was, so he instantly came in, finding himself faced with a strange scene. "What's going on??"
It was the scene of the seated Ian with the lady in his embrace, her legs were surrounding him like a koala and her arms were around his neck. He could also see numerous vines surrounding them.
"It's complicated, but it should be alright in the morning I hope. Anyway, I will be stuck here in the meantime, so the 'things' I prepared will be left for you. Make sure to follow the exact plan, I will be there for the final steps... Also, if you notice anything strange, don't hesitate to kill."
Ralf knew exactly what he was talking about, and he trusts Ian the most, so he didn't hesitate to leave and close the door behind him.
The lady started gaining some clarity back. His words led her to believe that just perhaps she is misunderstanding the situation, but the panic flowing through her entire body due to the intimate contact with him still made her a bit worked up.
Ian decided to take control of the situation as he ordered the lady, "Command the plants to take off my gloves."
"Wh-why?" She stuttered.
"Just do it. I mean you're gorgeous and the position we're in is... Well, let's just say I want to figure out something more than staying like this, so do as I say."
She didn't hesitate for long before doing as he said, commanding the vines with her mind and to her surprise, it worked.
The vines that were holding them a close with little freedom of movement took his gloves off, perhaps because that's also their wishes.
Ian noticed that he had a little bit of freedom afterward, he could move his hands a bit. It was as if the vines wanted to see what he'd do.
And what he did is simply caress the lady's cheek with his hand, stunning her for a second. Before she could say anything however, he asked, "How does it feel? Why do these things want you to come in contact with me?"
"I don't know??"
"Just focus and calm down please."
She at least started feeling safe around only to the point she could think clearly. She closed her eyes and closely sensed where her feeling of weakness comes from, how his caressing feels.
Ian eyed her weirdly as she got lost in her daze, somehow bringing her hands above his, seemingly to make sure he continue to caress her. Not only that, she tightened the hug on her own accord in sought of more skin contact.
Perhaps that would've gone on forever if Ian didn't wake her up, "Just what's happening? Hello!?"
He just couldn't enjoy the situation, especially knowing the answers to how his power works are right before him, and that says a lot considering he has a thing for redheads.
"Eh??" She almost jumped in surprise at his voice, and only then did she come to a realization of what she was doing, and well, she was quite embarrassed, her cheeks had a blush almost as red as her lovely hair.
"Just tell me how you felt, I am curious." Ian gently spoke, his eyes shining in desire for answers.
She thought about it and came to a realization as to why this is happening as she eyed his handsome healthy face in wonder, what made her confused is how he isn't a dry corpse by now.
She regained a bit of her calmness and contemplated her situation under his patient eyes, and only then did she speak, "I don't understand what exactly is happening but I am sucking your life force..."
"Hmm, say what?" Ian's face couldn't help but twitch at the implication. He doesn't actually want to die, so that was certainly not good news for him, "That doesn't make much sense though, why would you feel weak due to that."
Her face flinched due to his question as she weakly responded, "Well... because It's too much I think? I am absorbing way too much of your life force which somehow led to me feeling weak and... Just weak."
