It is stupid, I know. She wanted me to be her shield after I took down one of the gang leaders like he was a punk. I didn’t expect to assemble a harem and get caught in gang politics.Suzy came to me a while ago, before I got stabbed, asking me to protect her.

You have always needed to feel a connection with the object of your lust. It had all been so lewd, so sexual but without romance – the romance that I had always assumed I needed.
