"It's kinda funny that your friends just handed you over." Zern commented as they walked. His hand dug into her rear and kneaded it gently. Though they were in public it was not an odd sight in the game. One of O2O's main uses was degeneracy, as Rey unintentionally found out. She of course did not want to say anything about it, either. Not only was he her savior, but he was a man. He was her defacto man. She also had to admit as she inspected him that even he looked quite cool in all his armor and armaments, despite his looks. Seeing him in all of that in the circumstance she was in, it triggered something in her.
Rey's in game beliefs, thoughts and opinions were not just set in stone. They could of course change and evolve just like they could in real life. She could have potentially been cured of her misogyny given the right circumstances. Exposure to the right people. However, she had just left a situation where a woman literally turned into a demon and tried to turn her into a pawn. If that were not enough, she was saved by a man. Not just any man, however, it was the only man in the world that she had very good reason to be very uncertain of before that event. She looked to Zern bashfully, feeling a bit of shame that she thought ill of him at all.
"Thanks for taking care of me."
"No sweat." He shrugged, still casually kneading into her ass.
Rey lightly bit the inside of her bottom lip awkwardly. "Do you think you could take care of me from now on?" Intuitively she did not just want it. No, she felt she needed it. She was a woman, after all. Being on her own more often in the game would just mean more opportunities to mess up, or worse.
Zern smiled and stared at her. "Oh sweetie, of course." He leaned in to kiss her. Rey leaned the rest of the way and accepted it, sealing their relationship in game. The blowjob was not particularly to her liking, but kissing was not so bad. She actually felt like he was a good kisser and his looks no longer bothered her so much. She realized that a man did not have to look good, so long as he could protect and provide. It seemed very much like he could do both so far. When he pulled back he turned her to face him.
"But."
"But?"
"We need to acknowledge something." He said sternly.
"What is it?" She questioned.
"This event and your character creation fiasco should've told you one thing. You are pretty dumb." he tried not to laugh as he said it. Rey blushed. He was not wrong. She messed up twice in a row by acting on her own. It was not just his social skills that were getting her to agree. Her internal process, her high logic, all seemed to be on his side given the circumstances. When he saw that she agreed, even just passively, he continued.
"So... Isn't it kinda silly that you have control over your own finances? Your characters future? Your body?"
"Is there a way for you to take control of all of those?" She asked instantly. Instinctively she felt that it was the way things should be.
Zern kept his composure. "Yeah... Yeah, I think so. But it requires that stuck-up girl you turn into outside of the game to agree."
Rey furrows her brow. "I don't get it... It's so clear here, but whenever I leave it gets so weird and muddy." She truly did not comprehend how her thought process could differ outside of the game.
Zern pulls her into a hug and kissed her forehead affectionately as he patted her on the back of the head. "It's okay, sweetie. We'll just make so many fun memories that you'll have to come around. Do you wanna do whatever you can to help?"
"Of course!" Rey said excitedly, even though she was literally conspiring against herself.
"How long since you've had sex out of game?"
"A couple months, at least." She responded easily. It was not protected information so she could share it freely. Any and all embarrassing information was on the table, which could easily give a creep an edge out of game.
"Wow. That's quite a bit... So maybe this'll be easier than I thought" He remarked cheerily.
"What's the plan?" Rey asked as they arrived at a small building near the edge of the city. Her back arched as he gave her rear a smack.
"Just get in, slut."
"Ooooh, please please... I need your dick." Rey moaned desperately. She was stroking him to try and get his member hard again after the third round. Her other hand was between her legs, her fingers pushing and churning her cunt while her palm pushed down on and rubbed her clit.
