Paradise of Infinity: 359

Title: Karaoke IS For Singing! (R18)

A little embarrassed at first, Saki soon gets into singing as she finds Nik focusing on her more than the lavish spread of snacks on the table. He tries humming alongside her, understandably not knowing much about the local music. Still, Saki can’t shake off her previous imagination.

It may be a bad idea to try…

But Saki tiptoes back to the seat while singing. Using all her skills, Saki promptly rests her free hand on Nik’s thigh, proving that frozen butter is smoother than she ever can be. Her face heats up as she almost loses her tune, which shows in her singing as she peeks at Nik. Saki hurriedly averts his gaze once she finds Nik smiling at her.

Surprising Saki further, Nik places his hand atop Saki’s… after cleaning it. Saki almost jumps but maintains her nerves, singing and scooching near Nik till her arm brushes with his. What can she do… it’s a small room. Still, her actions make Nik wonder…

Are all women from ‘hentai’ so direct?

Mitsuko and her family were essentially speedrunning their way into Nik’s trousers… and Saki is the only other person from ‘Hentai’ through Ray’s admission. Of course, Nik isn’t going to subject Saki’s existence based on a manga. But it’s an intriguing observation. It took him more time to get with Revy than Saki…

Not to mention the stuff Saki experienced recently…

Or maybe he’s reading too much into it.

Nik glances at Saki, finding her swiftly averting her gaze as her hand on his thigh stiffens. Her ears flush red and Saki’s voice momentarily cracks in panic.

No, he isn’t reading too much into it.

‘Karaoke is for singing, right?’ Nik questions internally. ‘Should I tune up the pheromones to make her comfortable?’

He enjoys Saki’s singing. Someone like Ray would wholeheartedly encourage Nik to make a move while setting a tripod for recording… but Nik can’t help but reassuringly squeeze Saki’s hand.

“You have a beautiful voice,” Nik compliments.

“I-it’s nothing,” Saki coughs. “I’m nothing compared to the rest.” Realization about how Nik might take her words briefly flashes across Saki’s face as she tries controlling the damage—

Saki has several things in mind. As Eda advised, she wants to try teasing Nik and making him impatient. The blonde Nun of deceptive religion also suggested that others around Nik shouldn’t make Saki question her self-worth… Yet, all her fears fly out the window once she meets Nik’s gaze.

He smiles at her…

Sincerely.

“I never compared you to others from the day we met.” His hand moves to her side. Saki’s breath hitches as she wonders if Nik will push her down, only to find him placing something on her face.

Glasses.

Saki’s eyes widened, realizing it was Nik’s gift.

“So, I hope you don’t let it get to you, too. You’re a beautiful woman, Saki. And I don’t mean just your face.”

Saki purses her lips. Eda reassured her in her own way about not letting comparisons get to her. The Blonde was correct. Nik was never about only sticking it to the woman who could bend elements and kick his ass.

He’s into everyone except Esta and men.

Yet, it also feels different coming from Nik.

But… it’s not all about appearances.

“I’m not very useful,” Saki utters. “My grades are average… I’m not athletic… I feel good that you have such thoughts, Nik. But I’m nothing…”

The music continues playing until Nik pauses it before patting Saki’s hand still on his thigh. His fingers soon interlock with hers as he grins, “Do you only care about being useful?”

“Huh?” Saki blinks. She takes off the glasses with her free hand. It’s not like she can look through them with her lenses currently on.

“Don’t you have dreams?” Nik questions.

“I never thought about my future,” Saki tilts her head, feeling strangely calm in his presence despite holding hands. “I always thought of attending a college and having a family later… Well… I wasn’t excited about college because I couldn’t make any friends… I don’t know if I would ever even get to have a family…”

‘Boy,’ Nik almost whistles at her depressed state. Saki really is something.

Nik attempts to cheer her again.

“What about hobbies?”

“I never got more time out of my cram schools…” Saki mutters and lowers her head.

“Favorite food?”

“Candies… but Mama stopped me from eating more of those, and I grew out of them.”

Nik’s lips twitch. He almost feels depressed at this point.

“But now you have the opportunity to change that, Saki,” Nik whispers, his tone laced with caringness. “You can make new friends,” he asserts. “Nobody in my family judges others… except Azula. But we have Jin and the Ty Sisters to tackle her.”

She shakes her head.

“Why would they want to be my friends?” Saki chuckles in a self-deprecating manner, showing that she might just not be entirely free from everything she experienced recently. And who would?

“Because you try,” Nik replies with a snicker. “Call me selfish, but I think it’s one of the most admirable traits in a person.”

“Why would I call you selfish for that?” Saki questions as her heart flutters.

“Because others say the same about me,” Nik beams, shameless as ever. “And I think I’m an admirable guy.”

Saki stares at Nik before lowering her head and nodding. Her fingers squeeze around Nik’s.

“...Thank you,” she smiles. “So… you won’t dislike me if I want to try something?”

Nik tilts his head before shrugging.

“I mean… practice caution and stuff, but sure, try new things.”

‘I’ve already placed my hand on his thigh as Eda said… the next thing should be…’

Saki steals a glance at Nik’s lips before swallowing a lump. The momentary silence in the room after their talk is loud as she works her courage to initiate a move, only to find Nik washing down the last of the ordered food with a jug of water.

He eats a lot, Saki realizes.

“Okay!” Nik exhales loudly before grinning at Saki. “Are you prepared?”

“Prepared?” Saki glimpses. “Prepared for what?”

“Me?” Nik blinks. He’s too trained to misread sexual tension, so it’s hard to be unaware of Saki’s act.

Saki flushes and feels her gathered courage seeping out. A wave of awkwardness descends in the room as Nik assures with a smirk, “You don’t have to force it—”

“In that train…” Saki interjects. “I… You said that we were infected. You said that it forced us to be terrible versions of ourselves. That’s why others were so mean to me… but that isn’t true. They were always mean. And I also fought back and hurt others. Doesn’t that mean I was always terrible? I also gave up resisting against my…” Saki doesn’t want to call that man her father. She feels bitter, as Nik points out.

“Are you implying you liked that version of yourself better?”

Saki nods slightly, “Is it wrong to think that?” She gently pulls her hand from Nik’s and scrunches her shoulders. “I want… many things. But I always step back when it matters. If I were that Saki Yoshida from that train… it would have been easier to do what I want.”

A firm hand rests on her shoulder as Nik states calmly, “You are confusing courage with rage, Saki.”

Saki quietly looks at the man.

“You were not courageous in that train… you were angry. Anger only blinds you to your fears. Meanwhile, courage doesn’t hide your fears but faces and conquers them.” His smile broadens. “And even now, you’re trying to be a better person. That’s courage, Saki. You are brave.”

Saki’s lips tremble as her eyes feel warm again.

This day just isn’t kind to her.

Why is she crying constantly!

Saki cannot help but feel a little annoyed by herself.

Still, her shoulders tremble.

“I’m sorry for being so confusing today,” she wipes her eyes.

“Eh,” Nik shrugs as he leans back. “I’m confused about many things most of the time.”

“Really?” Saki looks at him. “But you are always so… ready.”

“I’m not ready about many things,” Nik chuckles as he recalls Mitsuko’s news and how it fucked with his mind even when he thought it hadn’t. So, Nik’s words about the courage to Saki were also for him. But he doesn’t speak about this pregnancy. Only a fool would. Instead, he opens up about someone else.

“For instance, I helped June with a problem, which helped her bend an element—Earth. But it’s a minor benefit. No matter how she trains… she cannot move more than a fist-sized rock’s material.” Nik hasn’t given up on finding a solution for this issue. If he can help June… then he can help others get Bending Abilities and open another avenue of growth!

“What else?” Saki grows curious.

“I was confused about how to develop my world until recently,” Nik smiles. “I’m also apprehensive about the worlds I will travel into next. This world is tame compared to my previous adventure… but chances of that happening in the next one are low.”

Saki grows silent.

“Are you scared?” She questions.

“Sometimes… when I’m bored. I’m usually occupied with something or someone to consider about these things. But it’s not enough to stop me. Letting my fears cage me will insult all my teachers.”

Saki questions again, feeling more comfortable around him.

“Do you have several teachers?”

“Yep. But I end up sleeping with most… the most recent one is Revy. She taught me how to use a gun, but she doesn’t like being called a teacher,” Nik chuckles.

“So… you’re a naughty student,” Saki surprisingly smirks before giggling. “I never knew that.”

“Naughty?” Nik scoffs. “I’m the most dedicated student in existence and am responsible for their satisfaction.”

“I think you’re setting a bad example,” Saki hums. “What if your students learn to be as naughty as you.”

“More power to them,” Nik shrugs. Who’s he to deny others the luxuries of life unless it comes at his or his family’s expense. “But I don’t have a student. Those in Class 3-E… are more like friends. We just chat most of the time.”

“What do you teach them?” Saki grows curious. Her question stumps Nik until he glances away.

“Seduction…”

“Excuse me? Seduction? To children of Junior High?”

Nik purses his lips before groaning. “It sounds bad… but it’s nothing sexual! I made sure Irina never pulled a stunt on me in the classroom.”

Saki continues to stare at Nik until he admits.

“Fine,” he shrugs. “Irina may have kissed me to dominate me through her technique. She failed.”

Saki continues staring, feeling oddly pleasant. Noticing this, Nik almost chuckles as he continues pretending to be defeated… as if getting kisses will ever demoralize him.

“Fine, you win,” he rolls his eyes under Saki’s persistent stare. “I’m a bad influence on everyone around me. Um… how would Ray put it? Ah, yes. I’m known to corrupt others around me.” He matches Saki’s gaze. “And I won’t stop.”

Flinching, Saki quickly turns her head.

“That’s… not true,” Saki mutters. “That thing in the train was the corrupting one. It’s as you say… I was angry about so many things. Thank you for helping me understand the truth.”

“You should thank my best teacher,” Nik shrugs as Saki blinks.

“Sokka? He said he’s your first teacher.”

“Hah!” Nik scoffs. “Not Sokka. He may have armed me with a spear and the best way to use it… but Iroh armed me with the ability to help myself and others.”

“Is Iroh-Sensei around?” Saki questions.

“No,” Nik smiles, albeit sadly. He isn’t sad about leaving Iroh. Nik respects his teacher’s decision. However, he misses the cheerful tea goblin. “He’s living a luxurious life of a King… I suspect he’s now charmed all the Palace Maids, leaving none for his second son.”

Saki pouts, “You all are alike!”

“Thanks,” Nik beams. “One of the best compliments—ever!”

“That wasn’t a praise!”

Nik smiles at the woman, offering, “Would you like to continue singing?”

Saki blinks before glancing at Nik’s thigh, where her hand rested interlocked with his a few moments ago. Lowering her head, Saki quietly shakes her head.

“I…” Saki gulps. Her hands clamp down on her knees as she tries to voice her desires. Eda’s depraved words and urges laced with religious beliefs fill her head.

To proudly kneel and worship the Excalibur.

To part her knees and expand her beliefs.

To bounce down on the Root cause of all evil.

To have her sins hammered out…

Okay, Saki may just be stretching the truth now. Eda doesn’t even encourage others to drink…

But…

‘Eda did say to just grab his collars and kiss him…’

False. Eda said she would do that… those words were not acts of encouragement! But Saki doesn’t care about the details even if the devil lies in them. She’s on a higher path.

So, with the last ounces of her courage gathered flies a swift hand latching onto Nik’s collar as Saki moves forward—

*Thud*

“Ow!” Saki gasps as she pulls back and covers her head with tearful eyes, accidentally knocking her forehead into Nik’s in her excitement.

“Are you okay?” Nik blinks in disbelief, hurriedly letting a water blob rest on her forehead, healing the region.

Saki stares at Nik for a full minute before sniffing aloud. Tears pool in the corner of her eyes before she wipes them.

“I’m sorry!” she bows her head. Certainty and destitute fill her heart. “I’m a failure in everything!”

Nik presses his lips together.

“Saki?” Nik calls out as she refuses to look up.

“Please,” Saki mutters. “Let me just go back.”

Her heart is shredded at this point. It’s all over. Leave her to make a fool out of herself after such a heart-to-heart—

Saki’s thoughts stall as she feels Nik gently lifting her hand and bringing it close to his collar. Looking up, Saki finds her fingers an inch from his collar. With an encouraging smile, Nik rests Saki’s hand near his neck before gesturing upward with his chin. “Continue.”

“Huh?”

“Grab it,” Nik affirms as Saki’s fingers instinctively clench around the article. Nik steadily leans back as he suggests. “Firmer. Grip it like you will never let go of it.”

Saki does so, gripping his collar and squeaking as Nik’s other hand gently rests on her waist before tugging her over. Leaning onto him, she watches Nik's hand rest on Saki’s hand around her collar. “Now, what do you want to do?”

Nik inquires with a pleasant smirk.

“I— I don’t understand,” lies Saki. Nik tugs her waist firmer, bringing her face and body dangerously close to him. She laser-focus on his lips and how they tug upwards at the corner. Feeling her throat turn dry, Saki looks up.

“Don’t you want to be honest?” Nik whispers. His face leans onto hers, teasingly brushing his lips against hers. “Don’t you want to be brave?”

Saki gulps, her heart pounding in her chest.

Her breath shudders as he encourages—

“Don’t you want me?”

That’s what Eda tried teaching Saki… but stuff like this comes as easy as breathing for Nik.

Saki’s lips quiver as she leans forward. It’s merely a tilt of her face when their lips meet. Her grip around his collar cannot be tighter as she steadily leans into him until she realizes Nik is lying on his back, with Saki eventually straddling him.

Now, both of Nik’s hands rest atop Saki’s hip, often stroking her waist before teasingly caressing her butt cheeks.

“I-” Saki gasps as she pulls back, confessing, “I only want you!” Her loud declaration brings forth a torrent of embarrassment as Nik smiles.

“And where would you like to have me?” Nik questions. “In my room…” he raises an eyebrow, tightening his grip around Saki’s ass until she fidgets, “Or here?”

Saki swallows a lump, already sensing something stir underneath her crotch as she looks around. Hesitant as ever, Saki feels her grip around his collar loosening as Nik shakes his head.

“Don’t think.”

“Yes!”

Saki instantly replies before blushing. Her body entirely rests on Nik as she likes how she’s being held. It feels nice for once.

“I… want to kiss again,” Saki asserts, dodging his gaze. “I also want… to see you without clothes—”

Lo and behold, Nik is naked in a second, sending his clothes to his bedroom in a moment’s thought as Saki squeaks and covers her eyes before increasing the gap between her fingers.

Her gaze falls atop his chest before slipping onto his chiseled abdominal muscles. His muscles flex with each breath while the conspicuous ‘rod’ between her thighs throbs against her panties.

Calming down, Saki slowly lowers her hand before leaning down. She flinches when Nik reaches for her face, brushing away her long locks as she nears his lips. Saki realizes how she likes someone caressing her face. Even though Nik’s palm isn’t soft or cozy, the wave of security with this act is nothing to scoff at as Saki closes her eyes and enjoys the sensation of their lips upon one another.

Her hands rest on his broad shoulders before inspecting their structure with inquisitive strokes. Saki’s fingers soon glide down his arms, tracing the curve of his biceps, the indents leading to his triceps, and the slightly visible vascular map atop his arms before finding one of her hands resting on the one caressing her face and the other one massaging her butt cheek.

She interlocks their hands as her slightly rough pant echoes in the room.

One of the most eager throbs down there surprises Saki once she holds his hand, and it makes her body warm and her lower lips twitch.

“Do you like this?” she questions while tightening her hands.

“Very much,” Nik whispers. He’s a sucker for handholding.

Saki presses down, locking his erection between her.

Slightly motivated, Saki leans down again. However, Nik offers something before they kiss.

“Do you want it to feel more pleasurable?”

Saki would mistake Nik for a druggist if she didn’t already know him. But Saki nods, choosing to trust him. Grinning at the girl, Nik uses [Twilight Charm], releasing his incubus pheromones as their lips meet.

“It’s hot,” gasps Saki. Her body perspires as the room’s temperature subtly shifts. But it’s not uncomfortable for the girl. The manly scent that once soothed her mind now ushers sweet promises into her ears, making Saki grind her lower body as she feels excitement numbing her rationality.

Their hands soon separate, allowing Saki to cup Nik’s jaw as he gently massages her breast with one hand and strokes her cheek with the other.

She feels prepared to take what feels like a baton… a thick club. So, she pants, “My clothes… please send them back.”

“No,” Nik smirks as he pecks her lips. “I want to see you get undressed.”

Saki’s flush reaches her neck as the incomparably seductive scent saturates the room. It makes her want to kneel on her four and present her raised back to Nik in the most derogatory sense… because she wants to.

Saki unbuttons her overalls, slipping out of them frantically. Soon, in her underwear, Saki gently unhooks her bra before using her arms to hide her peaks. Sweat dampens her skin as she averts her gaze.

“So?” Saki inquires mutedly as Nik’s smile refuses to phase out.

“I thought you had a plan,” he teases. “Grabbing my collar, pinning me down, demanding I strip, and being so fierce with your kiss… are you sure it’s your first time and not mine, Saki?”

The sweet scent addles her mind and ‘courage’ as she pouts, looking sideways, “You should be more sensible, Nik… that hot body can only take you so far!”

“How kind of you,” Nik chuckles. He gently holds her free hand, whispering, “Come here.”

Saki slowly lies atop Nik, enjoying how her soft breasts press and squeeze against his sculpted pecs. She finds comfort in Nik taking the lead. His hands caress her butt cheeks before he devours her panties and aligns his dick against her soaked slit.

“Ngh,” she moans into his lips, nervous.

Saki wonders if she will be good enough…

Nik is well aware that no amount of reassurance is little or enough to scant a few. It’s not to say Saki is a ‘bad’ woman.

She’s different.

Everyone is.

Compared to his experiences, Saki may as well be a Goddess…

Then again, others are the same for Nik.

And he always tries to live in a way that others feel the same about him.

Saki’s eyes scrunch shut, a violent jerk seizing her control as she grunts into Nik’s lips before issuing a pained whine. A trickle of red slides down Nik’s hefty length, mixing with other juices and lightening in response.

“I’m… I can’t fit it…” Saki gasps. “S-sorr—”

A gentle kiss interjects her needless apology—as if Nik will ever care about something like that.

“You’re amazing,” he whispers into her ear. His other hand hugs her, not afraid that his erection may die out since his very blood is a source of potent aphrodisia… that a few girls love biting into the source.

“So, don’t be sorry,” he continues, pecking her cheek and kissing her tears away. “I’ll be gentle, always.”

“N-NO!” Saki squeaks in surprise before blushing and whimpering, “Um… treat me a bit…” embarrassment drowns her voice out as she feels Nik’s cock slowly spearing into her, stretching her out to her core.

“—a bit… naughty…” she finishes before stealing a glance.

“Hey!” she snaps indignantly, finding Nik smirking at her. “You’re so bad!”

Offering a wolfish grin, Nik strokes her jaw. “Oh, I’m worse than you can imagine. You’ll learn all about me… starting from the moment when we finish our time here.”

“What?”

Saki blinks.

It’s accurate to assume Nik changed Saki’s assumption on how much semen a man stores in their balls…

Saki realized at the end WHY Nik eats so much…

Someone has to carry the balls—Nutrition.
