God Of Crafting

Chapter 131: Time constraints

The feeling of feeling up Claire from the inside... I could somehow tell I could never get enough of it.

The tension of our bodies twisting to their limits, all to let us accommodate just the best angles that brought the two of us the greatest possible pleasure. The warmth of desperately clinging to the other. The sweet smell of our sweat mixed as we rubbed our skin against each other.

The single instance of orgasm encapsulated all of those feelings, all of those sensations after enriching them with an overwhelming amount of relief, pleasure, and release. After tensing up just like that for a little longer, we both powerlessly fell down onto the bedsheets, too tired to do anything beyond just heavily breathing if not outright panting for the air.

Yet, now that this short bout of slightly more intense intimacy helped to recharge our cores, I no longer felt even the hint of that overwhelming, oppressive exhaustion that came with running out of spiritual energy.

After just a moment of regaining my breath, I've finally recovered enough to close my hug around Claire's shoulders, cuddling her up to my chest as I sank right back down into the state of the afterglow.

'I guess we ended up wasting our time on intimacy anyway,' I thought, trying my best not to think about all the other matters that we had to take care of.

'And am I really going to claim that it was all but a waste of time?' I thought, prompted by the perfect sense of comfort borne from Claire peacefully breathing in my embrace and occasionally shifting her body to find an even more comfortable spot within my hug.

Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out.

Despite all the things that I still had in my head... just this boring repetitiveness of Claire's breath was enough to put me in a trance of tranquility. It was such a simple thing, and yet it did such an insane job at calming my heart down, I couldn't help but wonder just how in all hell was that possible!

"Hey... Tim...?" Claire muttered as she slowly perked her head up and threw a sneaky glance up to my face.

Combining this flirty if not outright seductive approach with her elegant and pure looks only made the whole scenario all the hotter!

"Seriously, I will take your ass anytime you will be ready for it, but right now...?" I left my words hanging a bit only to then lower my head before shaking it to the sides. "Right now we still have something else to discuss. And as uncomfortable as it might be, it's a conversation we cannot avoid having."

There were things that I could ignore, pretend not to remember or outright forget about.

But then, there were things that lacked the element of urgency, necessary for me to dig into it as soon as the topic arises... but were still stacked in the department of importance and weight, making them into harsh topics that were likely to be quite awkward to bring up, outright annoying to navigate and then potentially souring our mood in this lovely moment...

Nevertheless, however, topics as important as what I had in mind could be excused for later, but not for an indefinite amount of time. And right now was as good of a time as any other to finally raise the points I was concerned about.

"I need you to tell me everything about what this entire fight was all about. This time, no secrets."

Claire's face instantly soured, proving that just as I expected, this wasn't the topic she had any desire to discuss. On the other hand, however, while she pulled back a little, she didn't pull away far enough to indicate she actively wished NOT to discuss it.

"It's..." Claire hesitated while looking away... only to expose, this time, the side of her face for my kiss. "It's a long story!" she informed while vocally complaining as she leaned her face away from my lips, most likely unwilling to mix the feeling of guilt and sadness invoked by the topic with anything that she could actually enjoy or have a good memory of.

"While I would love to have a lot of time for me to hear it all out... We both know that's not true," I sighed... only to reach out and pat Claire's head a bit. "But there's nothing stopping us from just sticking together as we go through the rest of the day, is there?"

Upon hearing those words, a faint smile returned to Claire's face.

"In this way, you can just brief me as we go around our day!"
