In the Name of God - Chapter 96.2
I really ought to be banging my head against the wall for this.
Unaware of my thoughts, Lee Sunho was preparing a fresh wet towel. Holding the towel in one hand, he used the other to take my left leg, which was under the blanket, and pull it out. Rather than the sensation of the chill seeping into my bare leg, I was far more conscious of Lee Sunho’s large hand gripping my limb.
As he slowly wiped my leg, Lee Sunho continued in his usual kind voice.
“Since then, I haven’t felt any particular rejection toward you. In fact, while other people are difficult, you’re fine, so I keep wanting to touch you more.”
Lee Sunho’s fingers, which were holding my leg, moved suggestively.
“The dirty things felt much better than I expected, too.”
His thumb lightly pressed and rubbed my leg, which barely had any muscle, while his other fingers slid bit by bit in a ticklish manner. From that spot, a strange itchiness blossomed along with a new surge of heat.
“…You don’t have anything else to ask for?”
“No.”
Lee Sunho replied immediately as if there were nothing more to think about. He might have been feeling his own limits that much.
‘What should I do about this…’
I decided to think about it calmly. Was it really right to bring in another vanguard to replace Lee Sunho and put them in danger without them even knowing why? Was it okay for me to cause trouble for anyone as long as it wasn’t Lee Sunho?
And the dirty things with Lee Sunho… that is, the sexual acts we did while I was in a state of heat or the recent kiss—were they so unbearable that I had to reject them with disgust?
The answer to every question I asked myself was “No.”
“Is it a no? Do you hate it? You can’t even give me that much as a reward for nursing you while risking my life?”
Furthermore, when he wants only that one thing, even going so far as to poke at my guilt like this, I couldn’t just say no. Besides…
‘It felt better than I expected.’
Although there were parts I couldn’t help because of the penalty when we engaged in sexual acts, it was true that it felt good. The kiss we shared while I was sober was also much better than I thought it would be. This might also be the influence of the “Adaptation” skill, but I felt that Lee Sunho’s request was worth granting.
“…Fine.”
Toward Lee Sunho, who was now wiping my right leg after the left, I gave my answer after agonizing for a long time. The hand of Lee Sunho, who had been wiping meticulously with the wet towel, stopped.
“If that’s all you want… let’s do that.”
I was the type to be insensitive toward my own body, enough to allow even a boss monster imitating my Apostle to kiss me. This wasn’t because I was occupying someone else’s body; it was a perception that had inevitably hardened through the long years I spent as a combat mercenary.
Upon hearing my answer, a deep smile appeared on Lee Sunho’s lips. In an instant, his eyes curved into a graceful line, and a beautiful vitality that could bewitch any passerby swirled in his gaze. Out of all the faces of Lee Sunho I had seen until now, he looked the most radiant at this moment.
“Are you that happy?”
“Of course.”
When I asked with a hollow laugh, Lee Sunho replied with a lingering trace of laughter.
‘Fine. If you’re happy, then it’s a relief.’
In any case, if allowing skinship could serve as a reward for Lee Sunho, it was by no means a bad thing. After all, in this world, I—and Seong Do-yoon—were people who had almost nothing else to offer as a reward.
At that moment, Lee Sunho’s hand, still holding the wet towel, reached deep under the blanket. The wet towel that had been wiping the inside of my thigh began to slowly sweep over my groin. I caught my breath at that blatant movement.
“Then the backlogged reward… Can I receive it today?”
“…What? I’m a patient right now.”
When I looked at Lee Sunho with doubt, he showed an even deeper smile.
“Right now is actually the perfect time. Since your high fever is also the result of forcibly activating your body.”
Lee Sunho, who knew better than anyone why I was bedridden with a high fever, spoke suggestively in a lowered voice.
“If we do it today, the fever will break quickly too. How about it?”
“Won’t the fever actually go up and put me back in a coma?”
“I’ll try to control it well.”
Control… what?
Before I could even ask, the wet towel that had entered my groin began to move in an embarrassing manner.
