Valkyrie Smash

"Alice, I don't think we can be together."

Alice's body twitched soon after she heard those words.

"Eh?" The smile began to disappear from her face which had already lost color.

"Well." Sam cleared his throat, seeing that his little joke was more effective than he thought. "To be more precise we can't date openly like a normal couple."

Even after that it seemed like Alice didn't understand what he was trying to say. Sam sighed, allowing her a few seconds to gather her thoughts. When she didn't appear to comprehend what he's going for he gave up and decided to just tell her.

"You're technically my superior, remember?" Sam said. "It would be bad for your reputation if people heard about us. Not to mention, I only got my job thanks to your recommendation so people would definitely start questioning my capabilities."

Jealousy can get really ugly sometimes, and the truth doesn't always prevail. If they get caught at some point, it's easy to see most people accusing Alice of abusing her authority to get her lover into an important position.

"In order to avoid any problems." Taking a deep breath, Sam told her the conclusion he arrived at. "I think it would be for the best if we keep our relationship a secret."

Staring at him for a while, Alice then looked down as she thought things through. Her conflicted expression told him she's having a difficult time accepting this arrangement, which wasn't a good sign considering he has yet to tell her the other half of the deal.

"Also, there is another reason why we can't be open about it." Sam prepared himself for the worst and went on. "It's about Shizuru."

He saw Alice's shoulders twitch at the mention of the name, but he went on nonetheless.

"She means a lot to me, it won't feel right for me to toss her aside right away." He said. "If it gets out that we broke up because I cheated on her with you I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this base. It's too much of a scandal."

In reality if he was given the choice Sam would've liked to have them both at the same time, however that wasn't something up for him to decide.

He did read news of how common it had become for multiple women to share a single man, but that didn't mean he could expect them to be okay with it.

"... I understand…" Alice spoke after a while. "Ms. Kurokami must be a wonderful woman. I don't want to hurt her feelings as well."

"Somehow I feel that's unavoidable." Sam said, feeling the guilt even more than before.

"I don't mind keeping our relationship a secret, but… don't you think it would be more painful if she finds out later on?" Alice asked, her eyes locked with Sam's. "What about you, Sam? I doubt you'd be fine with lying to a woman you hold dear, and I don't think I can forgive you if you didn't feel anything when doing so."

"Of course I wouldn't feel good about it." Sam sighed. "It's just… I need some time. I'll think of a way to solve this without it blowing in anyone's face."

Sam understood very well that he was setting the difficulty way too high, and that no matter what be does someone will get hurt pretty badly. Still he had no choice. Best case scenario is that Shizuru gets tired of him and decides to end the relationship. He could try doing subtle things to direct things toward it, but that wouldn't be so easy when he doesn't really want to break up with her.

Damn it! If this was one of those harem novels I wouldn't have had to worry so much!

Letting out a sigh, Sam turned to Alice. He reached with his right hand and caressed her cheek, he then came closed and kissed her on the lips.

"I will find a way, you don't have to worry." He sighed, seeing the difficult road ahead of him. "As I said before, we will keep everything a secret for now. We also have to be very careful when meeting, one slip up and we are done for."

"Well, now that we're together I would like it if we met more often." Alice said, shyly twiddling her finger.

"If it was up to me I would be eating Alice every night till I knock her up. However we can't really afford that."

Alice's face became redder as she remembered how rough their first night was. It wouldn't be surprising if it turns out that she is already pregnant, but even if that's not the case it will definitely happen soon if they keep doing it the same way everyday.

"Every night would be too much." Alice said, then it suddenly hit her.

Sam has such a strong libido that he could do it with three women at the same time for almost an entire day. It would be fine for now as long as she could take it on herself, but what would happen once she conceives?

Alice came to a sudden realization. Just like how he cheated on his girlfriend once, there is no guarantee that the same wouldn't happen to her as well, especially once she becomes unable to satisfy his hunger. It was only a matter of time before it happens, and though it pained her think about it, she did her best to calmly consider her options and think of the most optimal solution.

"I believe it would be for the best if we limit ourselves to meeting once or twice per week." Sam said, having given the matter some serious thought. "My room adds to the risk so we should meet in your office, just like we're used to."

"Yes, I understand." Alice answered with a nod.

"We need to plan things ahead of time to make sure there are no problems." Sam went on. "Until I discuss the matter with Shizuru it would be for the best if I'm the one to contact you first. When the time is right I will send you a message to see if we can meet."

"Um… Sam…" Alice spoke, her eyes cast down. "I know you're trying to do this the right way but… I just want you to know that you don't have to force yourself…"

"... what?" Sam raised an eyebrow, not understanding where she's going.

"Well, I have been thinking about it and… expecting you to make me your only woman is too much." Looking up at him, she added with a small smile. "You can date anyone you want as long as you don't abandon me."

"No." Sam replied instantly.

"Eh!?"

"What are you saying, Alice? How can you even suggest that?"

His reaction was nothing like she had expected, making her wonder if there is something wrong with what she said.

"Listen, Alice, I already told you that I don't sleep with a woman unless I'm willing to take her seriously." Sam said, reminding her of what they had discussed earlier. "It means that if I get involved with another woman, it won't be just a passing affair. And even if you are okay with it, expecting the same from the other party isn't realistic."

"I get what you're trying to say, but…" looking at him through half lis eyes, Alice then added. "Are you going to be okay? If I get pregnant you wouldn't have anyone to satisfy your urges with."

"I was okay for an entire year. You dont have anything to worry about."

Holding back on sex wasn't really a problem for Sam. He might get grumpy and a little frustrated, but that's nothing a little hand action can't fix. Not to mention, he now has three very expensive toys he could use as an outlet. With the Valkyries around he has no reason to seek out other women.

Sam didn't like the idea of sleeping around just for the sake of it, and he realizes that despite what she says Alice would definitely get hurt if he starts sleeping with other women. Even if he finds someone who is willing share him with her another set of problems would definitely come. There is no perfect ending where everyone get what they want. It's just how reality works.

"Also." Crossing his arms Sam said with completely straight face. "I will never allow you to sleep with other men so forget it. You are my woman now and no one is allowed to touch you but me!"

"... eh?" Alice looked at him, blinking repeatedly. "Why would I want other men?"

"Well… won't you ask for equality or something?" Sam asked. "Obviously I wouldn't mind you being my only woman if I'm your only man, but I will never allow you to see other men even if you allow me see other women."

"I don't mind that." Alice replied. "To begin with, why would I want another man when…"

Alice's voice faded near the end and her face became red once more. She looked up at him with upturned eyes, fidgeting a little as she followed.

"There is no way I can be with other men after what happened..." That was something Alice was sure of.

Though he said that he would train her body so his cock would be the only thing that she remembers, what Sam failed to notice was that he is one step short from achieving that goal.

Having a five in body count meant nothing if she only slept with each one once, and with all her experiences amounting to nothing when compared to the previous night.

Alice had felt like a virgin who had experience sex for the first time. It would take one or two more nights at most, after that she would never be able to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh with anyone other than Sam and because of that she is willing to put up with anything he does.

Sam had successfully conquered both of Alice's heart and mind and all it took was just one night.

Hearing Alice's statement sent a spark through Sam's body and as if by reflex he pushed her down and got to action. They ended up having another two rounds. Alice was then saved by a message from Shizuru asking if he's going to be there for lunch.
