Chapter 27 - Clearing the Air

The room was utterly still, as if everything had been frozen in time. Afternoon sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the floor. Rosy's silhouette remained at the doorway, her eyes silently fixed on the two people on the bed. The only sounds were the faint whisper of breathing and the lingering, heady scent of sweat and sex that still hung heavy in the air.

Owen, still kneeling on the bed, his body naked and bearing the marks of their recent, torrid activities, stared back with wide eyes filled with shock and guilt. His lips parted slightly as if to form an apology, but the words caught in his throat, refusing to come out.

"Rosy, I…" he began, but before he could finish, the young woman before him stepped forward without a word. Then, suddenly, she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Owen…" Rosy's voice was soft and gentle, her eyes closed as she rested her face on his shoulder. "I'm just glad you're feeling better…"

The warmth of her embrace left Owen completely frozen. It was the polar opposite of what he had expected. He had imagined her furious, enraged, twisting his ear until it went numb. But instead, she showed only deep concern, holding him tightly.

Owen was too stunned to move… Perhaps he had underestimated her, or perhaps it was her 100-point affection score that made it impossible for her to be angry with him…

Owen's thought was only partially correct. The full truth traced back to just a few moments earlier, while Rosy was searching for his patient room. The voice of Iris had echoed in her mind once more.

"I think it's best you know this, Rosy… Owen might have some trouble controlling his sexual urges for a while. If any woman arouses him during this period, his sire instincts will easily override his consciousness… The mere 7 days he spent with me in the nest weren't enough to make him a perfect king. So please, be careful with this, my dear~"

And that was another reason Rosy wasn't angry with Owen in the slightest. She understood immediately that the lust and ferocity she had just witnessed weren't his true intentions, but a side effect of the parasites within him.

And with that… the anger, jealousy, and shock that should have been there transformed into an inexplicable wave of pity and understanding. Still, a sliver of displeasure remained, and it was immediately directed at the nurse who had started it all.

Rosy slowly pulled away from Owen's embrace. She turned to look at Talia, who was frantically scrambling to put her nurse's uniform back on. Talia's face was flushed with a shame and panic she couldn't hide.

"It's okay, Owen~ I understand," Rosy said, turning back to give him a faint smile. Her voice was smooth, yet held an indescribable chill. "Some slutty woman must have… kept you from getting your rest, I imagine."

The words hung in the air like a blade. Talia's hands froze mid-button. She looked up, shocked, her face draining of color as her eyes began to tremble, tears welling up.

"You… Don't think this is over just like that. I will report you to the highest authority," Rosy stated, her voice hardening with a finality Owen had never heard before.

"No!" Talia whispered, her voice frail and trembling. She collapsed onto the bed, completely drained of strength, tears now streaming down her cheeks. "I… I'm sorry. It was my fault for what I did to your boyfriend, but please… please don't report me. Sob~"

Seeing Talia's fragile and vulnerable state, Owen couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. He knew she hadn't acted with malice, that she, too, had lost control. He sat up slowly and gently touched Rosy's arm.

"Uh… Rosy…" His voice was soft and sincere. "I'm partly to blame here, too. You should know that. It wasn't all Talia's fault. She… she didn't force me. It was something that happened… unintentionally…"

Hearing Owen defend Talia, Rosy's expression shifted slightly. She pouted, her brows furrowing in displeasure. Though she said nothing, her eyes made it clear she didn't like his words. However, after a moment of silent contemplation, she let out a soft sigh and gave a small nod, a silent agreement not to report the matter.

At that moment, Iris, who had been observing from within Rosy's mind, chuckled softly, her tone laced with amusement and scorn.

"Don't worry about Owen falling for this woman, Rosy~ It won't be long before she becomes our complete slave. My children have already begun to incubate inside her body. And with my queenly authority, controlling her will be effortless."

Iris's words made Rosy's eyes sparkle faintly. The displeasure from a moment ago vanished, replaced by her usual confidence and calm. She turned back to Talia, her expression shifting to a gentle smile so friendly it bewildered both Owen and Talia.

"Alright, nurse. I won't report this…" Rosy said, her voice even but heavy with unspoken meaning.

Owen raised an eyebrow slightly, while Talia remained silent, watching Rosy with suspicion.

After Rosy announced she wouldn't report her, the nurse's expression slowly relaxed. The panic and trembling gave way to relief. She let out a long sigh, like someone who had narrowly escaped disaster, and used the back of her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes before looking up at Rosy with a grateful gaze.

"Thank you so much… I… I don't know what to say," Talia said softly, her face still flushed with guilt and shame.

"I just hope you won't do this to anyone else. Except for my Owen, that is…" Rosy said, her voice firm and resolute. It wasn't sarcasm, nor was it rude, but it was absolutely final.

Then, Rosy gave a slight nod, inviting the other woman to sit in the chair beside the bed, breaking the tense atmosphere. The three of them sat in a small circle in the room, the scent of what had happened just moments before still lingering in the air.

The conversation started awkwardly but soon turned into open introductions and sharing of stories. Talia explained that she was an Awakened who didn't want to risk her life in dimensional gates, so she became a nurse. Since the gate had opened downtown, all the doctors and nurses had been incredibly busy. Besides Owen and Rosy's case, many others had been lost inside and had almost no chance of returning.

"So it's amazing that you both made it out alive~ It's practically a miracle!" Talia said to them with admiration, then glanced at Owen, her face reddening. "Especially you, who… uh… came back with such an extraordinary… abnormality~"

Owen knew exactly what Talia was referring to. Her gaze was fixed pointedly on his crotch. He could only manage a half-hearted smile. As the atmosphere calmed and became more casual, Talia stood up and offered a faint smile.

"Well… I should probably get back to my station. There's still a lot of work waiting for me. Thanks again, Rosy~ for not turning me in." She gave Rosy a slight bow before smiling at Owen and leaving the room. The door slowly closed, leaving the room in silence once more.

Rosy, sitting beside Owen's bed, looked at him with a serious expression. Her lips were pressed tightly together before she let out a soft sigh. "Owen… there's something I need to tell you…"

"Hmm? What is it, Rosy…?" Owen asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity at her sudden seriousness.

"It's about what happened to me. And about that dimensional gate…" Rosy's voice softened, laced with a mix of complex emotions. "The truth is… we were all deceived…" She began to tell him everything Iris had revealed to her, from the beginning to the present.

…..

"You mean we were just dancing on her chessboard from the very beginning?" Owen, who had listened intently to Rosy's explanation, could only stare wide-eyed, unable to believe that the entire ordeal was the intricate and cunning plan of the Parasite Queen.

That meant if Owen didn't have the Choice System to help him and hadn't used his Reality Warp power to make the Queen fall in love with him, they would have had no chance of survival.

Rosy nodded softly. "Yes… and now she's living inside my body. Her name is 'Iris.' And she's not just a voice in my head. She can…"

Before Rosy could finish, her body froze. Her eyes widened, her limbs tensed. Her gentle expression instantly transformed into one of supreme, arrogant pride. The once-sincere gaze became one of power, obsession, and cunning. Her lips curved into a seductive smile as she rose slowly from the chair, leaning over Owen, who was still lying on the bed, confused by the situation.

"Rosy…?" Owen called her name softly, his voice filled with uncertainty, his heart starting to pound for some unknown reason.

Smooch!~

Rosy pressed her lips against Owen's in a searing, devouring kiss, giving him no time to react.

Mwah~ Schlick~ Schlick~

Mwah~ Mwah~ Mwah~

Aah~

Her kiss was deep, complex, and so intoxicating that Owen's senses threatened to dissolve. Her tongue slipped into his mouth, expertly tangling with his, a prelude to a far more carnal dance. The heat of the kiss spread through his entire body. Though shocked, Owen's body responded instinctively, kissing her back without realizing it.

Their heavy breaths mingled in the silent room. Rosy's scent had changed, becoming sweeter, more alluring, and hauntingly captivating. The wet sounds of their kissing echoed on, and it was a full five minutes before the kiss finally softened.

The woman pulled her lips away slowly, her breath hot and ragged. Her eyes shimmered, deep and dangerously seductive. Her voice had transformed into a low, silken purr, yet it held a power that sent a shiver down Owen's spine.

"At last… we meet again, my beloved Owen~" That voice was no longer Rosy's. It was the voice of the Parasite Queen, Iris, the one who had made Owen her sire for 7 days in that dimensional gate…

Owen's eyes were locked on the face before him, filled with hesitation and confusion. The whisper still echoed in his ear, the warmth of her kiss still lingered on his lips, but he had to confirm the feeling deep inside him.

"You're… Iris?" he asked, his voice a faint, uncertain whisper. Part of him still hoped it was Rosy, the woman he knew and had connected with.

The woman before him nodded slowly, a sly smile never leaving her radiant, seductive lips. Her eyes glowed faintly like the moon, so deep and enchanting it was hard to look away.

"That's right, my love~ I am in control of this body for now. As for Rosy… she has become a mere spectator, watching you from the depths of her mind. I'll apologize to her later for this sudden takeover," she said, tilting her head with a playful tone.

Then, Iris rose and walked slowly, tracing the edge of the bed with her fingertips. Her gaze remained fixed on Owen's body, like a scientist admiring a masterpiece she had passionately carved. She stopped at the foot of the bed, looking down at him with a profound gaze.

"But before that… I must fulfill my promise to Rosy." Iris spoke as she approached and sat on the bed, her hand gently resting on Owen's lower abdomen. "I promised to help 'reduce the size' of your giant cock, so it's not too much for a human…"

Owen's eyes widened slightly, but before he could say anything, Iris sent a gentle yet powerful psychic wave into his body, commanding the parasites in his reproductive system to do her bidding.

Suddenly, Owen felt a vibration in his lower body.

Throb… Throb… Throb…

A feeling of slight pain mixed with a tingling pleasure shot up from his groin, as if hundreds of tiny needles were pricking his entire member. His cock began to slowly shrink. From a size that was barely human, it gradually deflated until it was 12 inches. His massive testicles also shrank, becoming perfectly proportioned to his new shaft. The heavy pressure on his hips and thighs vanished.

"Ugh…" Owen winced slightly. He lifted the blanket to look and let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you… Iris. Now I can finally go back to living a normal life…"

Iris looked at him with satisfaction. She reached out to touch his cheek, her fingers gently tracing his jawline. Her eyes reflected his image, filled with an indescribable emotion.

"I'm glad you like it, Owen… To be honest, I'd rather pin you down right here, right now…" She licked her lower lip lightly and chuckled. "But I know your body isn't fully ready yet."

She touched his chest with a fingertip, circling it languidly before pulling back slightly and smiling at him again.

"Rest now, my love~ Rosy and I won't disturb you anymore… We'll come visit you again soon."

Her voice was as soft and gentle as a lullaby, but her eyes hid a desire that was difficult to control. She rose gracefully and walked towards the door without rushing.

Owen, still lying down, watched her go before smiling faintly. "Mm… Thanks for visiting. See you later, Iris~ Rosy~"

Iris paused at the door, turning back to look at him one last time, her gaze as gentle as moonlight. "Of course, my love~ See you again very soon. Smooch~" She said, blowing a kiss towards him.

Then she opened the door and walked out, leaving the room to its silence once again. Finally, Owen could get some sleep. He had spent so much of his energy on Talia…

Unbeknownst to Owen, Iris didn't go home as he thought. She walked straight to the nursing station where Talia was working, to deal with a certain matter concerning the Awakened woman who was now incubating her parasitic children...

Amidst the white light of the nursing station, Talia sat in a chair, gently rubbing her lower abdomen, her face clearly showing discomfort. She lowered her head and furrowed her brow, her hands clutching her waist as if trying to suppress a feeling inside her.

"Ugh… why do I feel so strange?" she mumbled to herself, sweat beading on her forehead, her heart pounding. She felt a slow but steady movement inside her body.

At that very moment… inside Talia's body, countless tiny life forms were moving in unison. They surrounded her uterus purposefully and began to diligently enter their incubation phase. Not to control her brain, but to control and mutate her reproductive system…
