Gravis thought about the best method to come clean with them. Was he attracted to them? He was a teenager, so of course, there was some attraction to the opposite sex, but that was not the issue. He knew that he wouldn't remain in this lower world for long, and creating any kind of romantic relationship would be troublesome. He was not interested in some short-term ecstasy if he knew that it wouldn't last.

Gravis sighed and wanted to say something, but his back shivered as a soft hand touched him and traveled down. "Why are you not saying anything?" he heard Lena say. "Am I not beautiful?" she asked with a sad voice that would elicit pity in any man's heart.

And just like that, all the plans and words, that Gravis had, went out the window. This whole thing had thrown all his plans to the wind. He turned around and tried to remove the hand, but then froze when he saw the still naked Lena. Like this, he froze again.

The two women giggled again. "So, you actually are interested," Lena said while walking closer. Gravis took a deep breath and took a step back.

Gravis closed his eyes to regain his bearings. "Yes, you are beautiful," he said, eliciting a smile from the two women, "but I'm not interested."

The two women furrowed their brows. This was not what they had expected.

Before they could answer, Gravis continued. "I am only interested in power for now." Gravis took another deep breath. "Yes, I am attracted to you, but, and this might sound rude, it's only physically," Gravis said directly without hiding anything. Being direct and honest was the best option in his mind.

"Listen," Gravis said, now opening his eyes and looking into Lena's eyes. His eyes were focused, not swaying downward. He had managed to regain his bearings. "I'm not interested in any romantic relationship at the moment. My goal is the peak, and a romantic relationship would keep me bound to this world. You guys know that I am from a higher world. Anything that keeps me from reaching my goal is not something that I want. Sadly, that includes romantic relationships. So, I'm really sorry, but I can't accept this."

Lena and Lory lifted an eyebrow and looked at each other. Then they turned to Gravis at the same time and spoke simultaneously. "So?"

Now, Gravis' plans were thrown into disarray again. He quickly shook his head. "What do you mean with, so?" he asked.

Lena crossed her arms, pushing her sizable chest upwards. "This was never intended to be romantic," she said with a smile.

Now, Gravis was confused again. "Then why all this?" he said, widely gesturing to his surroundings.

This time, it was Lory that spoke up. "We also don't want a romantic relationship," she said, walking closer. "Just consider this… a trade. You make us feel good, and in exchange," Lory walked closer again and moved a finger down Gravis' chest, "we make you feel good."
