"… What the hell happened to you?" Stella asked as soon as Thirteen returned from the Domain of the apocalypse.
Tiona only gave her Master a knowing smirk after seeing the kiss marks on his neck, arms, hands, and collarbone.
Withouth checking, she already knew kiss marks littered the skin beneath the fabric. No point declaring it though, so she kept mum.
Whenever Thirteen's lovers felt possessive of him, they habitually left marks like these on his body. It was their way of claiming him, as if to tell the world he was already taken.
"A few mosquitoes bit me," Thirteen replied.
"Those are… very big mosquitoes." Stella sneered. "You really had fun on the other side, huh?"
Growing up with her father wearing hickies like badges, Stella had quickly recognized the marks as soon as she saw Thirteen.
Her father had so many wives in his harem, all with needs. Kiss marks on exposed skin were normal, so she was already desensitized.
