Emma lifted one eyebrow, clearly thrown off, and looked at him like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Jim gave a small, steady nod. “Yeah.”
Then, as if a thought had just surfaced, he added in his usual calm tone, “We can also delay it a bit if you prefer. I’m not pressed for time.”
Emma thought to herself, Not in a hurry? Then why is he rushing over here in the first place?
Emma barely had time to respond before he went on, just as serious as before.
“I went through everything today. I’ve already committed it all to memory-from the preparation steps to every technique involved.”
He paused briefly, and for once his expression shifted. His normally flat face attempted something close to a smile, though it came out stiff and awkward.
“I’m prepared now. I can ensure your satisfaction.”
Emma stared at him.
Her lips twitched uncontrollably.
Is he really supposed to say something like that with a straight face? He commits it all to memory? And now he’s confidently promising satisfaction? Does he think this is some kind of test he can study for?
The sheer seriousness on his face was so extreme that something playful in Emma suddenly sparked.
She couldn’t resist teasing him.
Suppressing a laugh, she forced a serious expression, folded her arms, and deliberately looked him over from head to toe.
“Oh? So you’re saying you can guarantee I’ll be satisfied?”
She leaned in slightly, closing the distance between them. Her warm breath brushed faintly against his chin.
“And if, after everything, I still say I’m not satisfied?”

Jim remained silent. That clearly caught him off guard.
He had never once considered the possibility that Emma might not be satisfied.

In his mind, his own abilities were more than sufficient, and there should not have been any room for failure.
But hearing that question from Emma made him hesitate for the first time.
If she truly wasn’t satisfied, he had no clear idea of what he was supposed to do next.
He studied her in silence for a long moment before speaking carefully, his lips slightly dry.
“Then… do I get returned?”
No-that doesn’t sound right at all. Bonding with a female isn’t something that can be returned like a simple item.
His brows furrowed so deeply they nearly knotted. Even he realized how foolish that sounded.
He quickly dismissed the idea, his expression growing even more serious, as if he were facing something critically important.
“If you’re not satisfied…”
He looked straight at her, gritting his teeth slightly, then spoke in a low voice as though he had already made his decision.
“… then we do it again.
“Until you are.”
This time, Emma froze completely.

She stared at him, noticing his ears turning red all the way to the tips, while his gaze remained stubbornly fixed on hers. Her mouth twitched again.
Do it again until I’m satisfied? Is he trying to exhaust me-or himself?
Is this really the same Jim who usually struggles to say more than a few words?
If Alaric had said something like that, she would’ve assumed he was just being shameless.
But coming from Jim-stoic, disciplined, almost ascetic-it somehow sounded like a solemn vow. Like he was ready to give everything he had, no matter the cost.

“Cough!”
Emma nearly choked on her own saliva.

“Oh… Jim, honestly, this kind of thing doesn’t really need to be handled like that… it’s n something where more attempts automatically make it better
Jim blinked once, “More attempts don’t make it better?”
He thought about it for a moment, then gave a small nod.
“Understood.”
Emma remained silent. Wait-what exactly does he understand?
Before she could even process that, Jim suddenly stepped closer.
Without warning, the room lights flickered once and then went completely out.
Click.
Total darkness swallowed everything instantly.
Normally, Emma’s senses would still allow her to see in the dark. But this time, it was as if even that ability had been cut off.
She saw nothing at all.
Only Jim’s breathing remained, slightly faster now, cutting clearly through the silence.
Emma wanted to speak, but before she could, her waist was suddenly secured by his arm.
In the next instant, she was lifted off the ground.
A heartbeat later, she was pulled into an embrace that felt cool at first touch-but burned strangely underneath,
In the dark, Jim moved with absolute confidence. It was his domain. Every action flowed too smoothly, too fast for her to react.
The world spun once.
Then her back met a soft surface-the bed.
A heavy presence pressed down over her immediately after.

Jim braced his hands on either side of her, completely enclosing her within his space.

In the darkness, he found her lips with unnerving precision-but didn’t close the distance right away.
He stopped just a breath away.
Their exhalations mingled.
Then his voice came, low and slightly rough, carrying a faint tremor.
“Emma, I’m starting now.”
Emma was speechless.
Wait, does he really have to announce it like it’s some formal procedure?
“What, are you going to count down too?”
Jim replied, “No.”
A faint sound escaped him-something like a quiet chuckle.
Emma had never heard him laugh like that before. It was low, warm, and brushed past her ear like a passing breath.
