"Nng..."

I moved my body and found that I seemed to be immobile. I opened my eyes but could only see darkness before me. I was laying on the cold damp ground. The smell of earth permeated my lungs as I breathed in the damp air.

Where am I?

Although I couldn't see, I quickly realized I had been tied up.

What happened? The last thing I remember was falling asleep in my room... Could Millie have kidnapped me again?

In the darkness, I heard heavy footsteps approaching. Candle sconces on the walls surrounding me suddenly burst aflame, illuminating the dark room. I was surrounded by torture devices and tools. I held my breath as I looked around the room in a panic.

I'm in a dungeon?! This room looks far scarier than the one I had been in before.

The door opened causing me to flinch. I tried to hide myself by pressing against the wall, but there was no where to go. I was tied up and bound. I could only watch in fear as the person who kidnapped me appeared in the dimly lit room.

His golden eyes shimmered in the candlelight.

"Mmfmmf?" I said through the gag in my mouth.

Dante stepped towards me with a cold look in his eyes. My eyes widened as he approached me with an indifferent expression. He looked so fearsome a chill went down my spine. He bent down in front of me and stared into my wide eyes. He slowly leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

"It's time for your punishment."

My punishment?! What the hell does he mean?! Is this because I chose to let Millie go and made him angry??? Did he really have to get a dungeon just to punish me for that?! I shook my head quickly and tried to demonstrate my innocence with my eyes.

He smirked as he watched my denial. His voice was icy and smooth, "No? But you said I could do anything... So now I'm going to do just that."

I looked around the room frantically. No no no! I don't mean this!!! I said anything, but I didn't actually mean anything!!!

He removed my gag and forced my chin up in order to look at him. I spoke quickly, "Dante, I-I can explain. I just- MMF!"

My eyes widened from his sudden kiss. He held my chin as his lips danced along mine. I was so shocked by the sudden kiss that I put up no resistance. He took advantage of my surprise to deepen the kiss. My heart started to race as his tongue trailed along mine, skillfully mingling with it. My eyes fluttered shut as my body grew limp in his arms.

He pulled away, leaving me gasping for air. He whispered in my ear, "Just admit that you like me."

His breath was hot causing my ears to turn red from the attention. I forced myself to talk as I squeezed my eyes shut, "L-Listen Dante, I-I- Ahn!" Dante bit my ear teasingly then began to lick it. I felt my body shudder, "W-Why y-you..."

As he held my back firmly, he continued to tease my ears. Nibbling and licking. It felt ticklish and sensual. A weird sensation was forming in my stomach. I tried to get loose, but my body had long since turned limp.

I felt his hand move along my leg in a slow motion. I gasped, "O-Oi! Dante! Just where do you think you're touching-mmf!"

He quieted me down by kissing me again. My lips began to turn red and chap from the long lasting kiss. I could feel his hands greedily move along every inch of my body.

T-This isn't good! At this rate I will no longer be a chaste maiden!

Finally, he pulled away. I panted in desire, "D-Dante! Stop this instant! W-We aren't even together!"

He paid my words no attention, "Just admit that you like me." He leaned forward and began to kiss my neck.

I blushed from the stimulation, "I-I will admit n-nothing!"

He pulled away and smirked at my disheveled appearance. He pulled over a cart full of censored items. His alluring voice echoed off the walls, "Then I will have to punish you until you admit it."

My mouth dropped and my face paled. How the hell do these things exist here!? Aren't those too advanced!?

As he approached me, I kicked and shouted my unwillingness.

"Noo! Dante stop! I'm not a masochist!!! I'm not a.."

I'm not a...

I'm not...

I'm....

.....

I sat up screaming, "I'M NOT A MASOCHIST!"

Millie jumped awake, "What! Seri?! Why are you screaming?!"

I panted heavily as I sat on my bed covered in a cold sweat. I looked around the room and discovered that I was not actually in a dungeon underground. The entire time I was sleeping in my bed in my room.

I took a deep breath and wiped my brow, "Phew... It was just a dream..."

Wait. Dream?! What kind of dream was that?!

My body was still warm and felt a bit uncomfortable. I shifted uncomfortably and realized something was amiss. I lifted my blanket and looked to my unmentionables. My face paled.

So it was THAT kind of dream...

I gulped, "W-Wet...."

Millie blinked in confusion, "What? Seri what's wrong?"

"N-NOTHING!" I shouted making her jump in surprise. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom sobbing, "I JUST NEED A BATH!"

Millie watched me rush to the bathroom with a confused expression. When I got to the bath, I quickly tossed my panties away. I must destroy all evidence. I soaked in the hot water replaying what I just dreamed.

GAAAH! I can't believe I actually had a wet dream!!! I thought only men could have them!!! Ugh... I feel so embarrassed...

Also, what the hell was that kind of dream?! I'm definitely not a masochist!!! So why would I dream about Dante.... And me.... And that... GAAAH!

Every time I recalled that dream, I smacked my cheeks until they were red. I finally left the bath after I had gotten control over myself. However, my embarrassment wouldn't go away. I definitely couldn't fall back to sleep after dreaming something so... Shameful.

For the first time since it started, I'm relieved Dante is ignoring me. I don't think I can look him in the eyes right now.

As I walked to class with Millie and Mary, my cheeks flushed red. Millie watched me out of the corner of her eyes. Mary looked at me full of concern, "Seri? Are you feeling sick today? You look awfully warm..."

"NOPE!" I said a little too loudly.

A devilish grin crossed Millie's face, "Seri, are you not planning to ask Dante to forgive you today? Usually you would already be waiting for him..."

I shook my head quickly, "Nope. Nope. No way. Nope."

Her grin grew, "Why not?"

"Well they say absence makes a heart grow fonder. HAH HAH HAH!" I forced out laughter and then abruptly shut my mouth with a twitching face.

Mary looked between us two completely lost. During class, I was unable to pay attention. While that wasn't anything new, I was also incapable of napping. Every time I closed my eyes, I would suddenly recall my dream the night before.

I slapped my cheeks crazily to make myself stop remembering such an embarrassing thing. My classmates all flinched and looked at me in concern, but I was too busy trying to figure out the reason behind my dream to pay them any attention.

Okay, wet dreams aside, why did my dream have to include Dante?! I mean... Yeah, he is extremely handsome... And yes... Those muscles.... BUT! I thought you fantasized about fake people in dreams, not real ones!

And what was up with the whole 'Just admit that you like me' part?! Aren't dreams your subconscious trying to tell you something? No... I don't want to think about that... Maybe I should just run away?

My face continued to twitch uncontrollably.

Before I knew it, I was walking to the student council room for lunch. Well, good thing Dante is trying to avoid me and won't be there. At least my heart will be able to relax slightly. If Dante was sitting across from me like usual, I know I wouldn't be able to eat at all.

Millie opened the door for me and I froze instantly. A pair of sharp golden eyes glanced at me before looking away indifferently.

God d*mmit. Why is Dante here?! Shouldn't he be avoiding me right now?

Millie pulled me along as I stared into space mentally panicking. I sat down with my food in front of me. My mouth twisted as my eyes twitched looking at my meal. I was so zoned out, I didn't even notice everyone staring at me with a mix of concern and disbelief.

William leaned forward, "Uhh... Seri?"

"YES?!" I shouted making everyone jump.

William blinked in surprise, "Why are you so high-strung today?!"

"High-strung?! I'm not high-strung. HAHAHAHA." I broke out into panicked laughter as I tried my best to avoid looking at Dante. Millie giggled next to me as she watched my reaction.

William didn't look like he believed me in the slightest. "Then why have you not even touched your cake? You never wait to eat it."

My voice cracked, "You're right." I forced a smile as I used my fork to grab a bite. Everyone watched as my hand shook violently bringing the piece into my mouth. My stomach felt too queasy to eat, but I still forced myself to swallow.

I nodded quickly, "Yes... Delicious..." My eyes accidentally turned upwards. I caught sight of Dante who had been silently watching me the entire time.

-Just admit that you like me.-

"GAAAAAAAAH" *slap slap slap*

Everyone flinched as I suddenly screamed and slapped myself. William looked at me frightened, "What was that?!"

Artie spoke in a concerned tone, "She was doing that all morning during class!!! It was stressing everyone out!"

I covered my blushing face in shame. No no no no no no. This is too much. I can't be here. All I can think of is the dream...

And the kissing....

And the touching....

I stood up and screamed, "GAAAAAAAH! I AM NOT A MASOCHIST!"

William looked at me completely lost, "What?!"

I sprinted out of the room screaming in a panic. Millie giggled and slowly nibbled on her food. William turned to her, "Just what is wrong with her today?!"

Millie looked at him with a coy smile, "Seri had a much too stimulating dream last night."

Everyone was clueless to what she meant except for Lucius. He did a spit-take, "Wait!? Girls get them too?!"

Millie nodded, "They do indeed."

I sprinted through the hallways in a panic. I ran straight to my room and threw my suitcase on my bed. I began to throw clothes in while I panicked. I need to get out of town. Start a new life. Create a new identity.

I picked up an erotic novel and chucked it, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" I shouted, "PoonPoon! Get me out a paper and pen! I need to write some letters!"

PoonPoon jumped down from his canopy and prepared what I asked while looking at me in confusion. I sat at my desk and frantically began to write three letters. I wrote two for Millie explaining my absence. Two because I wanted to leave one in my room and the other in hers. That way I could avoid her having a meltdown.

The last one was for the headmaster.

Bertram walked into my room finally having caught up to me, "Seri... What are you doing?"

I looked at him with a panicked expression, "Bertram! Go bring the carriage around while I deliver these letters."

"Why?"

"I'm running away."
