196: 『Fragments of the Past』 – H // The underbelly of Lakers. Long ago, the underground warehouses were built for storing goods, but they were abandoned as the commercial district moved. The complex network of underground warehouses and connecting passages beneath the shopping district had, over time, become hideouts for underworld organizations. A subterranean fortress where people died and disappeared without a trace. In that place, a strange sound echoed. “Hngh, ugh, eugh-!” A thin voice. Moans of pleasure reverberated and spread through the dark underground. “….” Hearing the sound filling the room and leaking through the cracks in the door, Keire quietly opened his eyes. “Haaang! Hwaaang!” “Kugh…!” Before him was Jess. Her brown hair disheveled, she straddled Sert’s body, swaying her hips. Her skin, illuminated by the torchlight, held a subtle glow, and her voluptuous breasts shook violently with each movement, softly distorted in the grip of the burly man’s hands. “Ah, aahng. Hyaat…!?” Moving on her own accord, she reached out, waving her hand as if searching for something. The underworld members were well aware of the meaning behind her desperate gesture. “Heh heh, just like a whore…” “Is this your handiwork, boss? You’ve trained her well.” Sert’s men chuckled amongst themselves, presenting their erect members to Jess. She seized a man’s cock as if it was the toy she had been looking for, and began to rub it. “Puh-hah…!” “Hey, suck this too.” Seeing his lover crave another man’s cock before his very eyes, the underworld members grinned and brought their members to Jess’s mouth. “Ha-oop…!” Again, she did not refuse. Jess opened her mouth as if she had been waiting for it, and took the approaching man’s genitals into her mouth. She stuck out her red tongue to lick the cock she held in her mouth, and caressed and fondled the members of the other men with both hands. At first, the members watched with leisure, but as Jess’s mouth and hands touched them, their expressions changed lewdly. “Kugh, what kind of skill is this…” “…She was this kind of woman?” “Eugh-geut…! Damn it…!” Seeing it and being touched directly were different. Jess’s meltingly hot mouth and hands unhesitatingly stimulated the men’s sensitive spots. Pleasure bloomed from her caressing touch. The members who were the targets had to struggle to suppress the surging sensation of ejaculation. And Keire watched the scene in silence. “….” He could only watch because he was gagged, but even if he wasn’t, he would have remained silent. Just like when he faced Locker, he didn’t know what to say. Keire knew that the woman before him was not Jess, but Lyla. He couldn’t not know. She had whispered to him countless times to comfort him. He didn’t know how it was possible. The ability to disguise herself as another person and whisper from afar was something even Keire didn’t know. …But now, it wasn’t surprising that she had such a talent. Since she was young, she had possessed some kind of special power. He once thought it was a delusion, but now he realized it was no longer a delusion. “Oop, hoo-eum… ha-oop…!” “….” Watching Lyla diligently lick the men’s cocks, Keire felt a strange emotion. An emotion that was anger, sadness, and dark desire, quietly boiling within Keire’s chest. It was an emotion from his memories. The scene before him was somehow familiar. The same thing had happened long ago. Like a déjà vu, he had been bound like this, and the woman had been moaning beneath the men. ‘…No, is she on top now?’ It didn’t matter either way. Keire recalled a past memory as he watched the woman moan in pleasure. …What came to mind was a memory from when they were still young. The day Keire learned what it meant for Lyla to work in a brothel. The day the underworld members, who were Keire’s seniors, gang-raped her for fun. The day Lyla revealed everything before Keire’s eyes. That day too, Lyla had whispered to him. 『It’s okay.』 『I’ll punish them later.』 Did she remember? That the words she whispered to comfort him today were the same words she had said six years ago. The day Lyla was first gang-raped by the members in front of Keire, she comforted Keire with the same words as today. Even as she embraced her body, her shining blonde hair stained with the men’s semen and her fair skin covered in red bruises, she uttered the same words. 『It’s okay.』 『I’ll punish them later.』 The young Keire couldn’t believe those words. He couldn’t believe it. The confident, bright, and brave girl was helplessly pinned beneath the men, moaning. Even as her face contorted in pain, she accepted the seniors’ cocks and took them into her mouth, a coquettish smile on her lips. It was obvious that what she said was a lie. It was a meaningless promise. Even the act of pretending to be strong was disgusting. That day, Keire realized that Lyla was a woman. A helpless woman who could only be swayed by men. So, he began to torment her. He treated her not as a brilliant golden sun, but as a lowly whore. But that wasn’t it. Lyla was always telling the truth. Six years ago, and even at this moment. It was just that he hadn’t understood. …So Keire laughed. He laughed at his foolish self for finally realizing her words. Although Sert was enraged by the scene and slammed Lyla’s head against the floor, Keire wasn’t worried because he knew she wouldn’t die from that much. He couldn’t laugh too much because Lyla warned him in the middle. Anyway, he laughed. …However, covering it up with laughter didn’t completely erase the feeling of emptiness. “Hoo-oop, heu-euut!?” The woman before him was still in the arms of the men, moaning in pleasure. Lyla, and Jess. He once loved her, and he loves her now, so he couldn’t be happy to see the woman he loves being embraced by others. Even if that was the ending they wanted, it wasn’t easy for Keire, as a man, to just watch the scene. Therefore, Keire remained silent. “….” He closed his mouth and waited with his eyes closed. Until Lyla punished them, as she had whispered to him. He waited, holding the words she had whispered to him when he was a child. …Now he could wait. He was no longer a child. // The Black Rose Manor. Throughout the brothel that had existed in the Lakers underworld for a long time, there remained traces of tears shed by the women who had perished there. Aiden was aware of this fact. “….” He too had been sold as a slave from the Empire and entrusted himself to the underworld. Although he had never held a woman before meeting Emily, it wasn’t as if he didn’t know the ways of the streets. It was because Aiden was like this that he couldn’t help but hesitate in front of the naked woman before him. “….” Aiden silently looked down at Jess, who was lying down naked with her eyes covered. Perhaps the silence was too much to bear. “…Um…” Jess cautiously opened her mouth and called out to Aiden. “…Do I just keep lying here?” ‘…Haa.’ At Jess’s question, Aiden sighed inwardly. As expected, he couldn’t think of anything. What excuse could he use to take her out of here? He kept thinking about it, but only one method came to mind. To hold Jess before him, say that he liked her, and naturally take her out of the brothel. Only that one method came to mind. …But was that really the right way? Aiden was doubting himself. Perhaps he was only insisting on that method because he wanted to hold her? “…Wait a moment.” “…Yes.” It was clear that the woman before him was Keire’s lover. The Locker Family members had been looking for Jess, and Lyla had been taken away in her place. Judging from the circumstances, Jess was indeed Keire’s lover. …Then, was it okay for him to hold her? The moment Aiden had talked with Keire was short. But in that short moment, Aiden felt a strange sense of kinship with Keire. Both of them had been swayed by Lyla, and both had a prostitute in their hearts. That alone was enough to feel a sense of kinship. That was why Aiden was hesitating. “…Hoo.”Just as he was sighing in contemplation, Jess’s hesitant question rang in Aiden’s ears.” “…Um, excuse me…” “Why?” “If you can’t get it up… should I help you get it up?” It was an absurd misunderstanding. Aiden felt dumbfounded at Jess’s words, but at the same time, he thought that she might misunderstand because she didn’t know the situation. “…Then, do it.” In the midst of his complicated feelings, Aiden blurted out without thinking. He was surprised at himself for saying the words. But he didn’t take them back. In the end, he also wanted to hold Jess. ‘…Damn it.’ Aiden felt disgusted with himself, but thought inwardly. ‘…I should have asked that guy to take her away.’ A regretful thought crossed his mind. Whether she was a friend from a past life or a succubus who sucked the essence of men, Lyla had the best conditions as a bed partner. Her face was beautiful, her body was soft, and her flesh was so firm that it could only be described as chewy. To give an objective evaluation that excluded emotions, her body was even sweeter than Emily’s. It was just that her personality was the problem. ‘…What is she doing right now?’ Thinking of his friend who had been taken away of her own volition, Aiden looked at Jess approaching him. “…Um, do I have to keep wearing the blindfold?” “You can take it off if it’s uncomfortable.” As soon as Aiden gave his permission, Jess took off the blindfold. “Where did that person go earlier…?” “He left first. Saying to enjoy yourself with you.” “Ah…” Then why did he come with her in the first place? Jess wondered in her head, but it was impossible to completely understand the minds of the customers who visited the brothel anyway. “Then…” Jess, who had accepted it without much thought, knelt down and began to untie Aiden’s pants. Then, she tilted her head as she looked at his already stiffly erect member. “…Huh?” There was no need to caress it. Aiden’s member, standing straight, was ready to invade her at any moment. Jess was momentarily flustered because she thought Aiden had hesitated because he wasn’t erect, but she soon calmly got up. “…Um, then I’ll prepare for a moment.” It wasn’t good to insert it right away. Knowing this, Jess put her hand on her clitoris in the way the brothel’s seniors had taught her, and began to masturbate. “Heu-eut…” Sitting on the bed, Jess caressed her parted crevice. She already had a lover, but there was no reason to refuse a customer. This was work. Thinking that way, Jess comforted herself. “Ah…?” Before her eyes, Aiden’s stiffly erect cock was thrust forward. Jess familiarly opened her mouth and took Aiden’s approaching member into her mouth. There was no reason to refuse. //
