Dead Man Walking: Living By Day, Dead By Night

Zane awoke the next morning to find himself in a compromised position. While his head hurt from the excess alcohol that he drank the night before, and his memories were jumbled. He was startled when he found himself lying naked in Olivia's arms, who slept while clinging him tightly to her large chest.

It took a moment for Zane to process just how he had ended up in this situation, but very quickly his memories came flooding in of what he and his former homeroom teacher had done together the night before.

Zane couldn't help but stare at Olivia's flawless body and get excited. But ultimately forced himself away from her tight clutches through sheer willpower. Taking one last look at the woman, before closing the door behind him, while also making a comment about his surprise.

"Honestly… How does a thirty-four-year-old woman not have any experience with men in today's age?"

Olivia continued to sleep, but the warm and loving smile on her face faded away after Zane left her arms, almost as if she was unconsciously aware that her new lover had escaped from her grasp. Meanwhile, Zane began to make breakfast for the group.

Not that he planned to partake. He no longer needed to eat or drink. To do so was simply a luxury, and right now they were living on a day-to-day basis as far as supplies were concerned. The more he conserved for the girls, the better off they would be as a party.

One by one, the girls woke up. First with Elena, who had a look of concern in her eyes as she gazed upon Zane's back. And then Angelica, who had a similar but less intense expression. Elena was about to ask if Zane was alright after everything that had happened the previous day, when Olivia came bursting out of her room.

Shamelessly walking up behind Zane as he sat down at the table with all the girls' food and wrapping her arms around his back in a deeply intimate way.

"Good morning Zane, did you sleep well last night? I know I sure did!"

Sleep well? How could he possibly have slept well the night before when he murdered his own mother earlier in the day? Or so were Elena's thoughts, but Zane's eyes momentarily twitched after having Olivia's hand wrap around him from behind. It was a subtle distinction, one that would have gone unnoticed if Elena wasn't paying attention to him.

But Zane did not respond to Olivia's question, and instead silently sipped on his coffee, trying to avoid looking at any of the three women directly in the eye. This was abnormal behavior for Zane. It was almost as if he was embarrassed.

Elena was about to say something, but Olivia began to act even more brazenly as the mature silver haired beauty slipped her hands lower and lower until they were on Zane's abs, or at least on the thin layer of merino wool that separated her hands from touching them. She then shamelessly whispered something, or at least it sounded like a whisper, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I wonder…. Have you grown in ways other than height since you began leveling up?"

Olivia's reach went even lower still, until Zane eventually grabbed hold of her hands, stopping them just before they went too far, while also chastising the woman for her clinginess.

"Stop it… I know what you're doing, and I don't approve. Compose yourself, woman!"

Olivia giggled like a schoolgirl in love as she broke her hands away from Zane, and made an obscene gesture towards Elena, almost as if mocking the young woman for not being the first to be intimate with Zane. The gesture was behind Zane's back so he couldn't see it, but she showed off the length of Zane's sensitive region, which was much larger than Elena expected it to be.

The obscene gesture made Elena blush in embarrassment and open her eyes wide in shock. She instinctively stood up and was about to pound the table while calling Olivia a slut, but before she could do either of those things, Angelica innocently cocked her head and asked a question of the group, seemingly not knowing what the gesture meant.

"Are you two always this close?"

Zane was more surprised by why Elena had reacted so strangely, and was quick to shoot Olivia a glance who had a guilty expression on her face, almost as if to silently tell Zane, "I'm only teasing the girl."

Realizing what had happened, Zane immediately stood up and turned around. He grabbed his rifle and made a sudden announcement, but his tone was quiet, and almost lacking in confidence as he wandered off.

"I'm going to go fetch some supplies…"

Once he was gone, Olivia touched her cheeks while making a love-struck face, all while speaking her thoughts aloud.

"Aww… He's embarrassed. That's so adorable!"

Elena could no longer contain her fury. By now, she had figured out exactly what had happened between Olivia and Zane, but she still needed to hear the words from the woman's mouth.

"Olivia, you didn't…."

Olivia's smile twisted into a smug look as she confirmed that she had indeed done the unthinkable with her former student.

"Oh, we did…. Sorry Elena, but the early bird gets the worm."

There was a look of complete and utter contempt on Elena's face as she stormed off back to where she had rested the night before, seemingly no longer able to tolerate her former homeroom teacher. All the while Angelica innocently gazed in confusion at the two other women and asked the question on her mind.

"What happened? Why is everyone acting so strangely?"

Olivia then finally sat down at the table and began to eat the meal Zane had prepared her with a happy smile on her face, avoiding answering the girl by making some dismissive statement. Acting as if Angelica was crazy for suspecting things were strange between the party right now.

"I don't know what you're talking about…"

Not knowing whether or not things were always this way between the group she was now a part of, or if something was going on that she didn't quite understand, Angelica simply just nodded her head and naively continued to eat her breakfast, choosing not to worry about matters she did not fully understand.
