Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1294

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1294 - Taming the Old World - Compulsory Reaction - 5

All four of them were here together, sharing the exact same space, with no favoritism and no unnecessary drama.

He had to take the step sooner or later...

Getting used to moments like this was supposed to keep him from freezing up whenever he could not address them one-on-one. When all three of them were standing in the same room, he needed to stop treating them like a delicate logistical puzzle that might blow up in his face, and start treating them like what they actually were: his future wives.

"Alright," Ren said, managing to keep his voice mostly steady on the second try. "We will do it that way. Just... one at a time, though."

But small steps first...

Larissa had been the bravest of the trio when it came to putting the request into words, yet when the moment came to actually close the distance, her feet stayed glued to the floor.

Instead, it was Liora who moved first. She took half a determined step forward, squaring her shoulders; Selphira had spent the whole morning winding her up, and a stubborn part of Liora’s pride refused to let her grandmother’s meddling go to waste.

Still, her nerves caught up with her mid-stride, and that brief half-second of hesitation was all the opening Luna needed.

The air blurred with a shadow jump.

Luna vanished from her spot on the left and materialized right in front of Ren, appearing so close to his chest that the displaced air brushed against his chin.

"Sorry," Luna said to the open room, offering the apology to nobody in particular in a smooth tone that did not sound the least bit sorry. "Today, I am taking the first turn."

Before Liora could even open her mouth to protest the line-cutting, and just like that very first day when she had ambushed him without a word of warning, Luna rose up on her toes and pressed herself against him.

This time, however, turned out to be completely different from every kiss they had shared before.

But it did not start out that way...

During the first couple of seconds, everything felt warm and familiar. Over the past few months, Ren had grown accustomed to stolen kisses in quiet hallways, lingering hugs before deployments, and holding hands when nobody was looking; all that practice had filed down the sharp edges of his old panic.

When Luna looped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his, it did not short-circuit his thoughts right away. His heart beat faster, of course, though it stayed within a comfortable, manageable rhythm.

Then, Ren closed his eyes and opened the channel to pass her the dragon energy.

The instant the golden essence crossed the threshold of their lips, it hit both of them like a religious experience.

Passing refined mana from palm to wrist was a simple, utilitarian, if a little ticklish, transaction. Passing it through a kiss was another matter entirely. The human mouth held far more sensitive nerve endings than most tamers calloused or lightly fused hands, and the distance to both the brain and the soul’s core was much shorter. As the dense, exhilarating current of the ancient dragons poured from Ren into Luna at the exact point where their mouths met, it bypassed their standard channels and lit up both of their nervous systems at the exact same time.

For Luna, who was on the receiving end of the concentrated stream, the effect was immediate. Her knees buckled beneath her within the first second, and she only stayed upright because her arms were locked tight around Ren’s neck, hanging from his shoulders as her toes scraped the floor.

NO... I CAN’T HANDLE THIS... Luna screamed inside the privacy of her own head, curling her fingers tighter over her burning cheeks. THAT WAS NOT A KISS, THAT WAS AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ON MY POOR HEART! NOBODY TOLD ME THAT TRANSFERRING DRAGON ENERGY FELT LIKE... LIKE THAT! WHY DID NOBODY WARN ME?! I AM GOING TO DIE RIGHT HERE ON THE COLD FLOOR... Even so... IT WAS COMPLETELY WORTH IT!
