Gacha Kingdom Building

--This chapter is written in Mia's POV--

I had Miwen pinned down under me.

After I activated my Gift's new effect, his arms, bigger than mine since the very first time we met, didn't have the strength to lift my hands even a centimeter off his wrists.

He was caught in my leglock, and with just a small amount of pressure from me, he was unable to muster any strength in his legs.

Even his hips were no use.

He tried to move them to shake me off, but as soon as I forced my weight down on him, all he could do was squirm from side to side under me.

There was no trace of the calm he had prior. Or the confidence and smugness he always showed me.

Instead, he looked like a pathetic, weak, and defenseless animal, desperate to survive.

It was...

Mia: "Cute..."

Miwen: "Mia...?"

When he called my name, his voice trembled with suspicion and worry.

It thrilled me to no end.

Mia: "Hmmm~~?"

Miwen: "What are you doing?"

Mia: "You said you were going to leave."

Miwen: "Yes...?"

Mia: "I don't want that."

I forced his arms above his head until his wrists were close enough for me to hold them with a single hand.

The feeling of dominating him was addictive.

I wanted to see him struggle and fail to break free some more, but unless I gave him a better chance, he wouldn't do it.

Miwen: "What do you want, then?"

Mia: "I don't know~?"

I leaned my body forward, never taking my eyes off him as I used my free hand to feel the heat of his skin.

To my surprise, I felt a cold sensation on my fingers when I slid them on his cheeks.

It was a little disappointing, but the way he instinctively closed his eyes when my nails approached them made up for it.

He wasn't just immobilized anymore. He had made himself blind.

His ability to tease me continued to be unmatched, but doing this, he was stepping into dangerous territory.

After all, I was already having a hard time controlling my body.

Mia: "...Is there something you want me to do~?"

Miwen: "Letting me get up would be nice."

Mia: "Denied~"

Miwen: "Why?"

Mia: "I can't trust you~"

For his help against Hamperlon, Miwen said he would make me his.

And yet, when it was finally over, he turned his back on me, pretending not to know there was something yet left for him to do.

I knew he wouldn't try anything unless I showed him I was ready, but at the very least, I expected him to test and tease me.

The fact that he did not was strange and could only mean he had no intention of keeping his promise.

Mia: "You... You were going to use an [Order] to force me and my tribe back to Maides Island, right? You were planning to remove our [Citizen] status and have us live there."

Miwen: "How did you..."

Mia: "Because you are my fiancé. I know how you think, idiot. And also... I've been waiting all this time..."

When the light reached Gerbil's eyes for the last time and Hamperlon had truly, finally ended, my head was flooded with thoughts about the future.

So much so that I became stuck in place for what felt like an eternity.

His words brought me back, but they also denounced his intentions.

And I could never, ever accept them.

Miwen: "...Sorry, Mia. But I think it's for the best. Your people fought hard to defend your home. Now that their enemy is gone, don't you think they want to return to it?"

Mia: "Haah... Miwen... Do I not excite you enough? I know my body is not as feminine as Licia's and Bea's, and that I'm not pretty like Anna and Claire, or even cute like Ellie, but look... I asked the girls for help, and in a single day, this is how much they managed to do! If you want me to, I'll do my best to become a woman you can't help but desire."

Sweat had begun to form and drop from him.

I didn't know whether it was from anxiety or effort, but while giving light kisses to his cheeks and neck, I couldn't prevent my tongue from extending just a little more to taste their salt.

And as expected of him, it was a delicacy like I had never tasted before.

It did nothing to calm my heart, and instead, I began searching for more, deliberately kissing the spots I knew were bound to have a drop for me.

Miwen: "...That's not it, Mia-"

Mia: "Is it because of my attitude, then? I can change that, too. I won't react violently to your teasing words and naughty touches anymore. I won't compete with Claire or rush recklessly. I'll stop calling you an idiot, and a pervert, and-"

Miwen: "Ngh... Your tribe follows you, but you bow to me. Don't you think that bothers them? As long as they stay in the Kingdom, they'll be my subjects. They can only be free, led by one of their own, on the island."

Mia: "Haah... Shut up?"

It took all I had to control my body, and yet, he kept wasting my time.

I was tired of his excuses.

There were bound to be problems, yes.

But I had grown strong enough to solve them.

And I knew that they would, one day, respect Miwen as much as I did.

His strength wasn't easy to define, but it was noticeable.

Mia: "They'll follow me. And I'll follow you. Tell me, Miwen... What do I have to do?"

Miwen: "If we can't come back to this world, you might never find your home again. And if one day you come to regret living with me... I don't think I could handle that. That's why... I want you to be sure of it."

As he stared at me, a vast, limitless ocean behind his eyes challenged my resolve.

For a moment, I forgot that I was the one in control.

That I had nothing to fear...

But I understood it.

This was his last challenge.

If I could gather my will and convince him, he wouldn't be able to refuse me.

Mia: "I already found my home, Miwen. It's with you."

I leaned forward a little more, finally releasing his hands and reaching his shoulders for support.

Our faces met, but due to my lack of courage, I avoided him until my lips were as close to his ears as possible.

Mia: "I've already decided, Miwen. My home is wherever you are."

I did this so that I could speak as softly as possible.

So that no one besides him would ever hear it.

These feelings were only meant for him.

Mia: "You promised you would make me yours. To me, that was a marriage proposal. I've been waiting, expecting, and desiring it all this time, you know?"

Miwen: "That was..."

He turned his face away as far as he could.

Perhaps in shame, perhaps because of my whispers...

Either way, I didn't want to let him get away, so I wrapped my arm gently around his neck.

Even if all he wanted was to consume me... It was a mutual feeling.

Miwen: "Back then, I thought you wouldn't have a reason to live past your revenge. The thought of what you might do next scared me a little..."

Mia: "Ah... So you didn't want me after all~?"

Miwen: "No... It was more like killing two birds with one stone..."

Even though he was ashamed to admit it, it was cute how he tried to hide as much as possible from me.

After all the teasing, it turned out that being honest about his feelings was this hard for him...

I couldn't help but want to reward him a little for it, so taking advantage of the position I was in, I started to caress him more.

Mia: "I'm glad..."

Miwen: "I- ...Hm?"

My fingers slid down from his shoulders to his chest, carefully tracing his shape.

Then, I leaned away from him, returning to the position I was in before.

And so, still seated on his lap, I straightened my back and asked him what I wanted most.

Mia: "I want to be your wife, Miwen. So prepare yourself. I'll be making you mine tonight~"

Miwen: "I see. I'd be glad to- ...Wait! Mia-"

No waiting.

Not anymore.

Miwen: "Ahh... Nmm..."

Now that I didn't have to hold him or suppress myself, I began to use all of my body to feel his.

I pressed my chest against his, feeling its size and sturdiness.

It was like an impenetrable wall, but the heartbeat beneath it felt calming, so the urge to hug him became too great for me to contain.

Wrapped in my arms, I felt like I finally had him, and that nothing could separate us.

Lying on him this way was blissful, but something bothered me.

Mia: "Miwen... How do I make you happy... Here...?"

I thought just having me on his lap would be enough since he always seemed happy to have Ellie and Angelica do it for him, but even through his clothes, I could tell he wasn't nearly as excited as when I saw him in the bath.

However... It was a little embarrassing to say it out loud, so I did my best to dance around it.

Miwen: "Ah, right... I forgot it was your first time."

I was happy to know that he liked embracing me as much as I did him, but I wasn't expecting him to be in a daze.

Although I suppose I was a bit forceful considering my lack of experience...

In any case, he brought one of his arms behind my back, pulling himself closer to me until we were face to face.

He approached me slowly, with an intent gaze in his eyes, but the heat emanating from his body had become too much, and I exposed my neck to him.

Wasting no time, he made me pay for everything I had done to him, his warm lips leaving a relaxing, lingering sensation wherever they touched.

Before long, I had almost fully submitted to him.

The gentleness with which he caressed me put my heart at ease, and I had begun to search for his touch at every turn.

But then, I felt the hand I thought was on my back touching my thighs, slowly making its way up.

I knew exactly what he was aiming for, but I couldn't let him, so I pushed him away, slamming him back against the bed.

Mia: "Haah... You're better than I thought... But... It's not going to be so easy..."

Miwen: "Mia... I'm not sure what the girls told you, but you should really let me take the lead. At least-"

Mia: "No way."

They had already warned me that if I let him do as he pleased, I'd be swept in his pace, and before long, he'd have me fully dominated.

After almost falling in the first contact, I knew I had to do something to take back control.

Unfortunately, with how hot it was, I could only think of one thing...

Mia: "Your stare... Is burning me..."

I couldn't stop trembling.

The air around me had become too cold.

And I had never expected he would react with so much intensity to my breasts.

They weren't as large as the others', and the rest of my body was also lacking...

Yet, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Mia: "You almost had me... But now it's my turn again."

No matter how hard it was, I wasn't going to let him corner me.

I was determined to be the one who would come out on top in our little game.

My body was screaming for me to dominate him, and I wasn't going to have it any other way.

Miwen: "Alright, Mia. If that's what you want, I'm more than happy to play with you."

Mia: "Hmph. We'll see who plays with whom."

I had already taken that smug smile off his face once before.

I could do it again.

Although something told me the second time wouldn't be as easy...
