After Julian left, the snake and I stared at each other.
Besides constantly rubbing its tail against me, it was pretty well-behaved.
"Why do you keep rubbing me..."
I muttered to myself.
The snake kept staring.
Just then, a line of text appeared out of nowhere in front of my eyes:
[Because he wants to mark you.]
???
Mark me? Like a dog peeing on a tree?
Then, another line popped up: [Girl, try touching the spot where it's rubbing you. You'll get a surprise.]
What is this?
I didn't get it, but curiosity got the better of me. I rubbed the spot on the snake with my fingertip.
Meanwhile—
In Julian's room.
"Nngh..."
In the darkened room with curtains drawn tight, he sat on the carpet leaning against the bed.
His shirt was open, and his pants seemed... complicated.
"F*ck."
His face was flushed deep red.
His breathing grew heavy.
"I thought you were scared of snakes?"
"Where the hell are you touching?"
Touching is one thing.
But she wasn't even touching enough to satisfy him.
