“…you should control yourself.”
Arya let out a small chuckle hearing Lith’s joke. She ruffled his hair once again and said,
“It’s not really my fault. A cute shota is sitting in front of me and I accidentally lost control. I am not to blame in this. *Wink*”
Lith raised an eyebrow as he heard his teacher’s word. He thought to himself,
‘Lady, a thirty-two year old man is no shota. Well, can’t blame her. This body is young and doesn’t match my mental and soul age. Anyway, it feels very weird getting called a shota like that. Maybe I should stop teasing her about this or I would get weirded out constantly.’
Lith winked back at her playfully and continued to eat his food and had a light chat with her. He’s been with her since he got back to the dorms after finishing his classes and now it was almost midnight.
He spent his time with Arya watching a movie, cuddling, playing games, learning lessons and now having dinner. It was time for him to sleep and get ready for another round of boring classes for tomorrow.
Lith finished his dinner and said to Arya with a smile, “thank you for the meal, teacher.”
Arya smiled and replied back, “I hope you enjoyed it.”
Lith nodded his head and said, “yes, I did. Anyway, I need to go to sleep now, teacher. I’ll go back to my floor and… hmm… if you’d like, you can come join me too, I’ve got no problems at all. *Wink”
Lith tried to flirt even while leaving. He didn’t believe that saying this would work at all but hey, it never hurts to try and a man shouldn’t leave any chances to coax a lady.
Arya kept the same smile on her face and said, “do you feel no shame or embarassment when asking something like that to someone much more older than you?”
Lith smirked and said, “not at all. If I can go to sleep, while having a lady as beautiful and perfect as you in my arms, there wouldn’t be any man much more happier than me.”
Arya covered her mouth and giggled lightly hearing Lith’s words. She then asked him with a smile once again, “it might make you happy, sure. But what’s in it for me? Why would I want to sleep with someone and shared the bed, when I can have the whole bed for myself? That and also with someone as young as you.”
Lith put on an exaggerated pondering expression and showed to Arya that he was actually thinking a lot about what she said when in reality he wasn’t even thinking anything.
Arya looked at him and smiled. She could tell that he was exaggerating his reaction but didn’t bother him.
Lith, a second later, turned to her and said, “teacher, have you slept with someone before?”
His question may seem like it had double meaning in it, but Lith had no such intentions. He only wanted to make the conversation flow and not make it awkward or mess it up.
She was serious when she said this. Lith however didn’t know much about her and always considered her as an experienced woman. She was pretty old and must’ve had a lot of dating experience where the thoughts he had about her. Thus when she said this, he thought she’s joking and was being playful and so he replied back to her in the same playful tone,
“Heh, if that’s the case, teacher, why don’t you come and experience it? Trust me, it feels nice to sleep in someone’s arms. It feels warm and super comfortable. It would be an even better experience than the time you were with me on sofa watching the movie.”
Arya raised an eyebrow as Lith said that. Did he say an even better experience? Lith now had Arya’s full attention. He might not know it but Arya was really looking forward to all his shenanigans that he might pull, ever since that one day they cuddled together.
She was a carefree and playful lady and would never lie to her own self about things that she liked and disliked. She liked the cuddling moments with Lith and was also looking forward to it when the next time he arrived.
However, now he said that there was an even better experience than that and Arya’s curiosity was getting a better hold of her. But, being an experienced lady, she could control her emotions well and didn’t make a fool out of herself in front of Lith.
She chuckled lightly and said to Lith, “alright then, let me see for myself whether it’s a better experience or not.”
Lith felt happy hearing it and he held Arya’s hand and said smiling, “what are we waiting for then? Let’s go!”
This was a very risky move that Lith did. He knew about it too but still tried it because he already got a green signal from his teacher about him sleeping with her. He wanted to see whether she was okay with him physically touching her without permission like that or not.
This move would either take him ten steps forward in their relationship or completely ruin it. There was no in between. However, Lith still gambled and took the risk.
Arya noticed Lith holding her hand and pulling her down towards his floor. Even though she did notice, she didn’t feel uncomfortable in the slightest and felt as if it was only normal and natural for him to hold her hand like that.
Lith had seen almost everything there is to see of her and compared to that, this slight touch was nothing. She thus didn’t mind it and walked with him towards his bedroom on his floor.
Had it been anyone else who made such a move, Arya would for sure ensure that death would be the sweetest thing they would crave for. This playful and easy going lady wasn’t like this for everyone. Only a select few people could ever be so close to her.
As for others, if they even tried to look at her with lust or with any impure thoughts, they would for sure have their eyes gouged out or have their bloodline end with themselves because of Arya turning them into eunuchs. These weren’t exaggerations because Arya done such things in the past.
This playful lady’s serious and dark side wasn’t known to anyone except one person. That person was Mayzin, her childhood bestfriend with whom Arya grew up with. Even Emilia, being with Arya for so many years didn’t know about that.
Had Lith known how serious it was, he would have wavered a bit but knowing his nature, he still would’ve asked her the same questions and done the same things.
Lith’s gamble paid off and he rejoiced internally as he was moving down the stairs. He knew that his relationship with his teacher had now increased to a considerable margin and he was well past the point where they were just teacher and student. However, he still wasn’t at the point where they were actually dating. It would still take some time.
Lith reached his bedroom and slept on the bed and had Arya sleep beside him. They were both in their comfortable clothing as they slept together. Lith wrapped his arms around her and acted as the bigger spoon for her. He had her in his embrace and ensuring that both were comfortable, he said softly to Arya,
“Goodnight, teacher.”
Arya nodded her head and said without looking back, “Goodnight.”
