There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 187. Tranquility

Zein had the laziest day of his life yet.

He spent the whole day being pampered with a feast and hot chocolate, spent the evening making a mess of the bed, had a quick dinner, and back to the mess. Thinking of nothing but the warmth of the man in his arms.

And he woke up with that warmth, arms around his waist and platinum hair strewn across his shoulder. And even after opening his eyes, he just stayed in bed, absentmindedly stroking the esper’s head while digesting the newfound bliss of waking up realizing he wasn’t alone.

He didn’t think about his exercise or his work even though it was Monday of a new month and there should be an executive meeting in the afternoon. He didn’t think of anything really, just enjoying the way he slept without nightmares and woke up without his heart feeling constricted and heavy.

And it felt good.

It felt good until he shudder and decided to take a shower. Bassena did clean him up after their last session, something new and surprising for Zein.

--what are you doing? I can’t do it again

Zein had asked, when Bassena sat between his legs and touched his puffy hole. And the esper arched his brow, as if he was confused about Zein’s confusion.

--I just put on a salve? I know the recovery serum will take care of it, but there’s nothing wrong with being extra cautious

Zein didn’t even know there was a salve to instantly treat inflammation and tear in sensitive places. Well, to be fair, there was nothing like that in the red-zone, and people there were just...not care. They hooked up quickly and bolted--no time to waste on useless fluff.

And then Bassena proceeded to wipe his body, changing the sheet while Zein watched in a daze, and they went to sleep.

--Did you always do this?

Zein asked, something bubbling in the bottom of his heart. Something new but quite familiar, like the time he heard Bassena go to the Temple. The esper casually replied with a negative.

--I only do this to my lover

Zein narrowed his eyes and muttered;

--you said you never had a lover

To which Bassena replied with a deep smile.

--I never had

And then the esper hugged his waist and went to sleep. The uncomfortable feeling was gone and Zein, feeling better, followed the esper to the dreamland.

Yeah, it was all good but he still wanted to shower. A simple wipe of a warm towel couldn’t possibly be worth the filthiness of doing it--Zein glanced at the bin beside the nightstand--a lot.

Wow--he exclaimed inwardly. How many were there? Zein lost count after the third time. Thanks to him utilizing the reserve magic energy to support his stamina, he could keep up with the esper. And he was as pent up as Bassena, it turned out, because he never rejected the man’s request for more. At least until he tapped out on his last reserve and decided that was enough.

And thanks to the expensive recovery serum, Zein didn’t have to wake up feeling like he was just climbing up the mountain and rolling down through threes and boulders. As far as he knew, his ass was fine too--which was important, since they had a meeting today. But he still felt icky so a shower was imperative.

"Bas, let me go," he whispered, and Bassena was just squirming and whining like usual. Zein chuckled and whispered closer to the esper’s ear. "Baby, I need to pee."

Zein had no idea if it was the ’pee’ or the ’baby’ that got Bassena loosening his hold with a frown and a pout--although the man still very much sleeping. Zein slipped out of the comforter and planted a light kiss on the scale before rushing to the bathroom. He did need to pee.
